How the Public Feels Post-Covid

Some people wonder why I look at the New York Times. It’s because I want to see what narratives the “newspaper of record” is pushing. I read an article about ten years ago by an ex-NYT editor, who said that at the beginning of the year, the editors were given a list of the themes to be followed that year. I think he was making clear that they were told which narratives they were intended to push.

Below, I critique an “Opinion Piece” by a journalist who knows nothing about the subject of pandemic countermeasures, except that it is his job to pan whatever the current administration is doing, especially if it will save taxpayers money and reduce the risks of Gain-of-Function research.

Let’s look at the NYT author first, best known for exaggerating the effects of global warming. No science background. But he did beat up RFK in an August 13 opinion piece—well, that probably trumps a PhD in the subject matter at the NYT.

His book and article on climate change are described as terrifying. And he attempts to terrify us with his straw man argument today. (FYI, a straw man argument misrepresents what the opposer actually said, and argues against the misrepresentation.)

BLACK ROBE CORRUPTION: Michigan Judge and Three Co-Conspirators Accused of Looting Hundreds of Thousands from Incapacitated

Another bombshell indictment has ripped the mask off America’s so-called “justice system,” and this time the rot allegedly runs straight through the black robe.

Federal prosecutors have charged four Detroit-area insiders, including a sitting Michigan judge, in what authorities describe as a years-long scheme to loot incapacitated individuals and their estates, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from people the court was supposed to protect.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the defendants are:

  • Nancy Williams, 59
  • Attorney Avery Bradley, 72
  • Judge Andrea Bradley-Baskin, 46
  • Dwight Rashad, 69

Bradley-Baskin is the daughter of Avery Bradley and currently serves as a judge on Michigan’s 36th District Court.

All four were charged by federal indictment with conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors also charged Bradley with wire fraud, Bradley, Bradley-Baskin, and Rashad with multiple counts of money laundering, and Bradley-Baskin with making a false statement to federal investigators.

Lawless Clinton Judge Permanently Blocks Trump’s Executive Order Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote or Register to Vote

A federal judge on Friday permanently blocked key parts of President Trump’s executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote or register to vote.

US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly permanently enjoined President Trump’s executive order.

Last March President Trump signed an executive order Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections:

It is the policy of my Administration to enforce Federal law and to protect the integrity of our election process.

Sec. 2. Enforcing the Citizenship Requirement for Federal Elections. To enforce the Federal prohibition on foreign nationals voting in Federal elections:

(a)(i) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Election Assistance Commission shall take appropriate action to require, in its national mail voter registration form issued under 52 U.S.C. 20508:

(A) documentary proof of United States citizenship, consistent with 52 U.S.C. 20508(b)(3); and

(B) a State or local official to record on the form the type of document that the applicant presented as documentary proof of United States citizenship, including the date of the document’s issuance, the date of the document’s expiration (if any), the office that issued the document, and any unique identification number associated with the document as required by the criteria in 52 U.S.C. 21083(a)(5)(A), while taking appropriate measures to ensure information security.

(ii) For purposes of subsection (a) of this section, “documentary proof of United States citizenship” shall include a copy of:

(A) a United States passport;

(B) an identification document compliant with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-13, Div. B) that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States;

(C) an official military identification card that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States; or

(D) a valid Federal or State government-issued photo identification if such identification indicates that the applicant is a United States citizen or if such identification is otherwise accompanied by proof of United States citizenship.

(b) To identify unqualified voters registered in the States:

(i) the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, ensure that State and local officials have, without the requirement of the payment of a fee, access to appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered;

Kollar-Kotelly sided with far-left Democratic groups that sued the Trump administration for having the audacity to demand that voters in US elections are actually US citizens.

The judge said Trump’s executive order violates the Constitution’s separation of powers.

Jeffrey Epstein says Bill Gates caught sexually transmitted disease from ‘Russian girls’… then suggested secretly slipping Melinda antibiotics, new emails in DOJ release claim

Bill Gates slept with Russian girls, got a sexually-transmitted disease and asked for antibiotics to slip to his then-wife Melinda, extraordinary new Jeffrey Epstein files from the Department of Justice allege. 

The late pedophile financier made the astonishing claims about the Microsoft billionaire in emails he sent to himself on July 18, 2013.

The lengthy message lashed out at Gates for ending their friendship and says: ‘TO add insult to the injury you them (sic) implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda and the description of your penis.’

Earlier in the same missive, Epstein said he had been ‘dismayed beyond comprehension’ by Gates’s decision to ‘disregard our friendship developed over the last 6 years.’ 

The shocking emails appear to be drafts of a letter intended to be sent by Gates’ then-top advisor Boris Nikolic, around his resignation from the Microsoft billionaire’s charitable foundation. 

Appearing to write from the point of view of Nikolic, another email on the same morning offered his resignation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

He wrote: ‘I have been caught up in a severe marital dispute between Melinda and Bill…

‘In my role as his right hand man I have been asked and wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate, to the ethically unsound and have been repeatedly asked to do thing (sic) that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal…

‘From helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trusts, with married women, to being asked to provide adderall fro (sic) bridge touramnts (sic), as I am a medial doctor, but have no presriptions (sic) writing ability. 

The shocking claims about the Microsoft founder have not been verified and come from a new tranche of hundreds of thousands of documents released by the Department of Justice on Friday morning.

Gates has angrily denied allegations in a rare statement to the Daily Mail. His spokesperson said: ‘These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false.

‘The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.’

CO Councilman’s DUI Bodycam Shows Panic Over Public Records

Newly released body camera footage is providing additional detail about the DUI arrest of Aurora City Councilman Robert Andrews, who police say was driving with a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.

According to Aurora police, Andrews was stopped just after 9:30 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of South Chambers Road and East Florida Avenue.

Officers said they initiated the traffic stop after observing Andrews make an improper left turn, nearly strike a curb, and weave between lanes while driving his truck.

When officers approached the vehicle, the police report states that Andrews initially handed over his Aurora City Council identification card instead of his driver’s license.

Officers also reported detecting the smell of alcohol coming from Andrews and described his eyes as pink and watery.

The body camera video shows an officer addressing Andrews shortly after the stop and asking about alcohol consumption.

“My concern is that I can smell alcohol coming from your person, have you had anything to drink tonight?” an officer says in the video.

Notice Anything Familiar About These Participants at CNN’s MN Town Hall? The Trump WH Recognized It.

I mean, this is unsurprising, but sort of hilarious that the network tried to cast this as some ordinary citizen town hall event. CNN held one with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and others, during which they took audience questions about the city’s situation regarding the Trump administration’s deportation agenda. Two people, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, have been killed as they recklessly interfered in police actions. 

Good rammed into an ICE agent and got shot on January 7. Pretti tussled with Border Patrol agents on January 24. Both were left-wing activists and agitators whose own actions got them killed. Did they deserve to die for having horrible opinions on the issues? No, but assaulting federal officers can get you killed. I don’t know what else today. There are choices and consequences, and both of these clowns chose poorly.  

So, given that this city is a deep blue cesspool, it’s not shocking that its participants were all on the ActBlue registry. Trump White House Communications Director Steven Cheung was keeping score.

President Trump Files $10 Billion Lawsuit Against IRS for Leaking His Tax Returns

President Trump, Eric Trump, Don Jr., and the Trump Org filed a lawsuit against the IRS for leaking their tax returns.

They are seeking $10 billion in damages.

In September 2023, federal prosecutors charged a former IRS contractor who worked for the agency from 2018 to 2020 with unlawfully obtaining and disseminating the tax details of a high-ranking public official and numerous affluent Americans to media outlets.

According to court documents and an official press release from the Department of JusticeCharles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., stole tax return information associated with a high-ranking government official, referred to as Public Official A  – now known as Donald Trump. He then disclosed this information to a news organization identified as News Organization 1 – now known as The New York Times.

Littlejohn reportedly stole IRS information on thousands of wealthy people. The stolen information was then disseminated to two news outlets (New York Times and ProPublica).

“In July and August 2020, Littlejohn separately stole tax return information for thousands of the nation’s wealthiest individuals. Littlejohn was again able to evade IRS detection. In November 2020, Littlejohn disclosed this tax return information to News Organization 2, which published over 50 articles using the stolen data. Littlejohn then obstructed the forthcoming investigation into his conduct by deleting and destroying evidence of his disclosures,” the DOJ previously said.

Littlejohn was only sentenced to five years in prison. Political leaders said he should have been sentenced to 60 years.

“The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people,” a spokesperson for Trump’s legal team told CNBC.

Hunter Biden Hits Back at Baby Mama Lunden Roberts in Court Filing, Says It Doesn’t Matter That He “Ghosted” His Daughter

Last week Hunter Biden’s baby mama, Lunden Roberts, asked an Arkansas judge to jail Hunter for failing to pay child support.

Roberts accused Hunter Biden of ghosting his daughter, Navy Joan Roberts.

Hunter Biden has a 7-year-old daughter, Navy Joan, with former DC stripper Lunden Roberts.

For years, Joe Biden refused to acknowledge Hunter Biden’s lovechild with Roberts.

In 2023, Lunden Roberts agreed to lower Hunter Biden’s $20,000 per month child support payments to $5,000 per month.

As part of the agreement, Hunter Biden was to meet his daughter, Navy Joan.

In last week’s court filing, Lunden Roberts told the judge that Hunter Biden has failed to follow through with his agreement to pay her $5,000 per month in support payments.

Additionally, Hunter Biden still has not met his daughter and his refusal to see her is causing emotional distress for the child.

Lunden Roberts asked the judge to “incarcerate” Hunter Biden until he complies with the court order.

This week Hunter Biden hit back at Lunden Roberts in a court filing and says it doesn’t matter that he “ghosted” his daughter.

How China supercharged ‘birth tourism’ and scammed American citizenship for up to 1.5 million babies

“Birth tourism” — where pregnant women have their child on America soil to become citizens — has been happening for decades. But Chinese elites have “weaponized” the practice, says author Peter Schweizer, raising a generation of legal citizens who have no loyalty to the US. In this excerpt from his new book, “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon,” he explains how.

As we sang “Auld Lang Syne” in the early morning of Jan. 1, 2025, the first American newborn of the year arrived to much fanfare and celebration.

But this time, the baby was the progeny of Chinese citizens, and the mother had intentionally traveled to give birth on American soil, so that the child would automatically be granted US citizenship, a practice known as birth tourism. When such children turn 21, they can also apply for resident status for both of their parents.

This baby was born in the US territory of Saipan in the Pacific. More than 70% of the newborns in Saipan are Chinese birth tourist parents who utilize the territory’s 45-day visa-free visitation rules and the “Covenant of the Northern Mariana Islands” to guarantee that their children will have American citizenship.

That little child’s parents are two of many who are taking advantage of America’s birthright citizenship policies, based on an interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. How many is anyone’s guess.

Since the US government does not directly track birth tourism, we must rely on estimates. In 2012, one nonprofit calculated that about 36,000 foreign-born women gave birth in the United States and then left the country.

Gavin Newsom shoots down claim $236M program for California’s mentally ill has helped just 22 people in four years

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s $236 million program to help those with severe mental illness who bounce between homelessness and jail has helped a measly 22 people since the its launch in 2022, a new report reveals.

Newsom’s CARE Court was billed as a “completely new paradigm” to get the mentally ill off the streets and into treatment, with up to 12,000 people expected to benefit, the Daily Mail reported.

But only 22 people have been sent to treatment over the past four years, after a state analysis found that up to 50,000 could be eligible for the program.

The 22 court-ordered cases were among roughly 3,000 petitions filed statewide as of October. Of those, only 706 were approved, including 684 voluntary agreements that never intended the meet program’s goal, according to the Daily Mail.

Newsom has denied the report.

“CARE Court has helped THOUSANDS of Californians into care to recover — not 22. Even under the most NARROW definition (court-ordered treatment plans, which is one of many treatment outcomes), the number is 600+ and growing,” his press team tweeted.
