Social Media Users Respond with Facts When Writer at The Atlantic Asks Why Trust in Public Health Institutions Decreased Significantly After Covid Scam

Conor Friedersdorf, a staff writer for the far-left outlet The Atlantic, took to X to ask why there has been a precipitous drop in the people’s trust in public health institutions following the endless gaslighting and lies during the Covid era, and we was on the receiving end of a litany of truth bombs.

Friedersdorf asked, “A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly.”

“If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I’m hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.”

One person cited the ‘massive and inexplicable” CDC failures.

The Gateway Pundit reported that a peer-reviewed study exposed that the CDC inflated Covid deaths by 1600% throughout the 2020 election cycle.

Others noted the politically motivated rules surrounding public gatherings.

“When public health officials who were insisting on extraordinary measures of isolation to include the forbidding of outdoor church services and funerals unanimously announced in May 2020 that mass BLM protests were an acceptable COVID risk because racism was worse than COVID, I learned that public health was pseudoscientific activism.”

Professor of Christian ‘sexual ethics’ at Midwest university and father of TEN charged with rape and child sexual abuse

A former Midwest university professor who fathered at least 10 children and wrote about Christian sexual ethics has been charged with rape and sexual battery of one or more minors.

John Kent Tarwater, 55, was indicted last Friday in Greene County, Ohio, about an hour west of Columbus, on two counts of rape, three counts of sexual battery and three counts of gross sexual imposition.

Tarwater was booked into the Greene County Jail, where he remained in custody as of Friday night.

One victim was known to Tarwater and was as young as 10 years old when the alleged years-long abuse began, per the indictment viewed by the Daily Mail.

Tarwater had worked at Cedarville University, a Baptist school with roughly 6,400 students, as a business administration faculty member and associate finance professor since 2017.

In December 2022, he penned an article titled ‘Does Sexual Self–Gratification Glorify God?’ which has since been deleted but remains archived online.

‘Perhaps the issue that causes the greatest confusion for both single and married people centers on the permissibility or impermissibility of masturbation,’ Tarwater’s article read.

He co–authored a piece the previous year titled ‘Business Ethics in the Marketplace: Exploring Transgenderism.’

Congress demands Dept of War release 46 secret UFO videos: ‘You’re gonna see some weird f–king s–t’

Members of Congress are demanding 46 military videos from the Department of War which insiders say offer convincing proof that advanced, non-human craft are operating on Earth.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) requested the long list of explosively titled files on Wednesday, which include 45 previously unreleased military clips.

The presence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena “in and around the sensitive airspaces of US military installations poses a threat to the security of the armed forces and their readiness,” according to the April 1 letter addressed to Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Those with knowledge of the long list of videos — which include titles like “Several UAP in vicinity of Columbus OH airport” and “UFOs in formation over Persian Gulf” — said the clips are shocking.

“You’re gonna see some weird f–king s–t,” a source who has viewed the videos told The Post.

The wildest clips include radar footage from thermal sensors, satellite images, and underwater photos of swarms of Unidentified Submerged Objects, the insider said.

One video shows several USOs going in and out of the water near a highly classified submarine, according to the source.

Some of the clips are in clear, full color, setting them apart from previously released footage. None show alien creatures.

One video on the list, titled “Syrian UAP instant acceleration, 2021,” was released on Feb. 3 by independent journalist Jeremy Corbell.

Artemis II’s titanium toilet cost taxpayers $23M — the 2nd most expensive potty in history

Flushed.

The malfunctioning toilet on board the Artemis II, the second most expensive commode ever built, cost American taxpayers $23 million.

NASA scientists took six years to create two of the 3D-printed titanium thrones, officially named the Upper Waste Management System.

The first model, which cost $11.5 million, was installed on the International Space Station in 2020.

The lavish loo improved upon less hygienic designs of previous spaceships, replacing plastic bags with a suction system that keeps waste stored safely and cleanly.

Despite its pricetag, the urine hose of the Upper Waste Management System malfunctioned after take-off on Tuesday.

The problem was quickly addressed by the astronauts on board.

The moon-destined crapper falls just a little short of being the most expensive toilet system ever constructed.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour’s Waste Collection System, which debuted in 1992, cost roughly $30 million to create and install, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Adjusted for inflation, that would be just under $70 million in 2026.

Maine Lobsterman Asks the Supreme Court To Strike Down a Rule Allowing the Government To Track His Boat 24/7

In March 2022, a rule was finalized requiring all federally permitted lobster vessels in 10 East Coast states to install GPS tracking. Now one lobsterman is asking the Supreme Court to overturn the regulation.

Last week, Frank Thompson, a fifth-generation Maine lobsterman, filed a petition to the Supreme Court challenging a rule set by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC). This rule required lobstermen to install a GPS device on their boats, which tracks and sends locations on a minute-by-minute basis to government agencies—even when the boat is being used recreationally. The systems—which are Bluetooth compatible and can collect audio—also record and update the boat’s location every six hours when it is docked or moored. Failing to comply with the rule could lead to fines, forfeiture of fishing licenses, jail time, and even a federal moratorium on lobstering in noncompliant states.

The rule was pitched as a way to save lobstermen time. Rather than using written logs, the GPS device would automatically track their day. It was also proposed to better track and reduce the environmental impact of the industry. However, these fishermen are already ecologically conscious because their livelihood depends on it. The industry has received praise from the state’s fishing commissioner for being a “model of conservation.”

Whatever the motivation, fishermen say the rule violates their constitutional rights. In 2024, Thompson challenged the regulation in federal court, arguing that it violated his Fourth Amendment right to protection against unreasonable search and seizure. Both the district court and appeals court sided with the government, saying that since lobstering was considered a “closely regulated” industry, it did not enjoy the same constitutional protections from warrantless searches that less-regulated businesses enjoy.

But “digital surveillance without a warrant is unconstitutional—regardless of industry,” says the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), a public-interest law firm that is representing Thompson. “The government cannot exclude licensed professions from the Fourth Amendment’s protections and compel lobstermen to submit to government trespass and around-the-clock” federal surveillance.

Downed U.S. Drone Appears On TikTok Live As Iraqi Children Try To Sell It

As the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its second month, America’s Low-Cost Unmanned Combat Attack System, or LUCAS, is becoming increasingly visible across the Middle East theater, a sign that the Department of War has learned one critical lesson from both the Iranian drone playbook and the Ukraine-Russia war: cheap drones are the future of warfare.

The latest news on LUCAS comes from an unverifiable TikTok video, amplified on X, which appears to show a downed drone seized by Iraqi children who are reportedly trying to sell it.

If authentic, the footage is another reminder that low-cost drones are proliferating so widely across the region that they will likely spread to other parts of the world.

In a separate video reposted on X, Iranian forces appear to have recovered a LUCAS drone in the Persian Gulf area.

Trace DNA Found on Shroud of Turin Suggests ‘Unexpected’ Connection to India

Scientists examining DNA contained on the Shroud of Turin were surprised to find evidence indicating that the materials used to make the relic may have originated in India. The fascinating study reportedly involved researchers re-examining samples collected from the controversial artifact in 1978, with the intention of gaining new insights from the genetic information left behind on the pieces. In detailing their analysis of the trace DNA, the scientists revealed that they detected a remarkably diverse array of plants and animals that had their proverbial prints on the relic.

But what particularly intrigued scientists were their findings with regard to the people who came into contact with the shroud. Specifically, the researchers noted that nearly 40 percent of the human DNA found on the relic was from “Indian lineages.” This “unexpected” result, they noted, “is potentially linked to historical interactions associated with importing linen or yarn from regions near the Indus Valley.” Alas, given the complex history of the relic, the scientists were unable to determine its age based on the trace DNA from “centuries of social, cultural, and ecological engagement” with the shroud.

Rising number of Americans refusing life-saving blood transfusions because they come from vaccinated donors

Health researchers are sounding the alarm after noticing more people refusing life-saving blood transfusions because they come from vaccinated donors. 

In a study out of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, 15 patients or families of patients who needed blood transfusions rejected them because they requested blood from donors who were not vaccinated. 

The majority of patients were children or teenagers. 

The refusal led one patient to go into shock, another to develop anemia and others to have their surgeries delayed. 

Now, doctors involved say they fear more Americans, spurred by vaccine-suspicious health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, will follow.  

Over a two-year period, the researchers found requests for non-anonymous – meaning patients can choose specific donors for their transfusion – had increased because the patients specifically wanted blood from unvaccinated individuals. 

The patients had told doctors they wanted unvaccinated blood because they believed it was safer, but their exact safety concerns are unclear. 

Researchers noted that while the total number of these donations was small, the requests caused delayed care and could have contributed to complications of not receiving a timely blood transfusion, which can include organ failure, stroke and death.

MUCKRAKER INVESTIGATION: Taxpayer-Funded NGO Caught Busing Non-Citizens to Radical “No Kings” Protests

According to a report by Muckraker, a shocking undercover investigation has revealed that the radical left’s “organic” protest machine, specifically the NGO Make the Road New York (MRNY), is allegedly funneling millions of federal taxpayer dollars to mobilize and bus non-citizens into Manhattan for the “No Kings” demonstrations.

For weeks, the mainstream media has portrayed the “No Kings” demonstrations as a grassroots movement against the Trump administration.

But as usual, they were lying to you. New evidence proves this is a coordinated operation designed to manufacture the appearance of public consensus using people who aren’t even legal citizens of this country.

An explosive report from Muckraker’s Anthony Rubin reveals the inner workings of this shady operation. Undercover footage captured Make the Road New York staff members in Brentwood, Long Island, loading groups of individuals, many of whom were confirmed to be non-citizens, onto buses bound for the massive March 28th protest in Manhattan.

Muckraker wrote on X:

“The NGO Make the Road NY has received millions of dollars from the federal government.

Our undercover investigation reveals that Make the Road New York was responsible for mobilizing and busing non-citizens into Manhattan to join the recent No Kings protest.

We are calling for an immediate investigation into how Make the Road New York is spending taxpayer money.”

Hidden camera footage shows Angel Vera, identified as a Make the Road NY Community Organizer, admitting that the majority of their members are illegal aliens.

What Exactly Is the Purpose of NATO in the Year 2026?

One month into Operation Epic Fury against the Islamic Republic of Iran, a long-overdue conversation has finally broken into the open: What, exactly, is the enduring rationale for NATO? For decades, this question has been treated in Washington foreign policy circles as heretical. But it isn’t. And to their credit, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are now saying so plainly.

As Trump recently put it, “They haven’t been friends when we needed them. We’ve never asked them for much. … It’s a one-way street.” Rubio has been similarly blunt: “If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked but then denying us basing rights when we need them, that’s not a very good arrangement. … So all that’s going to have to be reexamined.”

They’re spot-on.

At best, America’s European “allies” have spent decades free-riding on the U.S. security umbrella. Despite repeated commitments to meet baseline defense spending targets, many NATO members still under-invest in their militaries and outsource their national defense to American taxpayers. The imbalance is staggering: The United States accounts for the overwhelming majority of NATO’s military capabilities, logistics, and strategic lift. Overall, American taxpayers contribute about 60% of total spending on NATO defense.

At worst, some of these same European allies actively undermine U.S. operations at critical moments. Major Western European countries such as Spain and France have restricted or complicated U.S. use of their airspace during Operation Epic Fury. That is farcical. A so-called alliance in which members obstruct one another’s ability to wage war is not actually an alliance — it is a liability.

This raises the core question: Why, exactly, does NATO exist in the year 2026?

Let’s recall its origins. NATO was founded in 1949 with a clear and urgent mission: to contain and, if necessary, defeat the Soviet Union. That mission was compelling — indeed, existential. Western Europe lay devastated after World War II, and the Soviet threat was real, immediate, and hegemonic.

But that world quite literally no longer exists.

The Soviet Union collapsed three and a half decades ago. The Berlin Wall fell the year I was born. The Cold War is now a relic of history. By any reasonable metric, NATO achieved its raison d’etre by the early 1990s. But instead of declaring victory and recalibrating, the alliance drifted. It expanded ever further into Eastern Europe and shifted its ostensible mission into… well, something.

Simply put, NATO is today an organization in search of a purpose.
