Fauci Warns “Normalization Of Conspiracy Theories Threatens Democracy”

Dr. Fauci warns the “normalization of untruths and conspiracy theories” could collapse democracy.

“Do not accept the normalization of untruths as something that’s normal… from things as ridiculous as that COVID vaccines have killed more people than COVID.”

“And when you normalize untruths, then no one knows what really is true.”

“And guess what? When you look at history, when that happens, that’s when democracies fall apart.”

This clip is from a conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, as part of the Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Forum series.

It was moderated by Bailey Bowcutt, a PhD candidate at the school, and focused on Fauci’s career in public health, including topics like communicating science and addressing misinformation.

Hunter Biden SHOCKS Democrat Establishment, Denounces Joe Biden’s 4 Years and Says America Should NOT Prioritize Illegal Immigrants

Hunter Biden – the embattled son of Joe Biden – delivered a blistering critique of illegal immigration during his marathon, unfiltered sit-down with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan on the popular “Shawn Ryan Show.”

What emerged was something no one in the Democrat establishment expected.

The interview landed like a political grenade inside Democrat circles because Hunter Biden openly contradicted the core immigration posture of his father’s administration.

While the Biden White House spent four years insisting the border was “secure,” Hunter acknowledged what millions of Americans have lived with: unchecked illegal immigration drains public resources and displaces priorities away from veterans and working citizens.

“We need a vibrant immigration,” Hunter said, “but we don’t want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources and being prioritized above people that are actual literal heroes that are coming home, that are still recovering from 20 years of endless war or anybody else in our society, right?”

Indictment Watch: John Brennan is the “Target” of Florida Grand Jury Russiagate Probe

*Indictment watch*

Former CIA Director John Brennan is the “target” of the grand jury Russiagate probe in South Florida, according to his lawyers.

In July, it was reported that former FBI Director James Comey and John Brennan were under FBI investigation over their involvement in Russiagate.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred Brennan and Comey for prosecution over the summer.

US Attorney in the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones is in charge of the investigation.

Last month, Fox News reported that a federal grand jury subpoenaed John Brennan, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and former FBI counterintelligence special agent Peter Strzok.

Peter Strzok was fired from the FBI in 2018 for violating bureau policies after he launched the ‘Crossfire Hurricane‘ Trump-Russia probe in July 2016.

Fulton County admits 315,000 votes were counted in 2020 election without legal certification in Georgia

Fulton County, Georgia officials have admitted that around 315,000 early votes were counted in the 2020 election despite lacking the proper certification. Less than 12,000 votes separated former President Joe Biden, the winner of the swing state that year, from President Donald Trump.

A Georgia State Election Board (SEB) hearing earlier in December regarding a challenge raised by local election integrity activist David Cross, per The Federalist. Cross had filed the challenge in March of 2022, alleging that Fulton County had violated state election rules in the handling of early voting during the 2020 election season, with hundreds of thousands of vote being counted despite poll workers not signing off on vote tabulation “tapes,” which are critical to the certification process.

Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections Ann Brumbaugh said during the hearing that while she has “not seen the tapes,” the county does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.” She added, “It was a violation of the rule. We, since 2020, again, we have new leadership and a new building and a new board and new standard operating procedures. And since then, the training has been enhanced. … But … we don’t dispute the allegation from the 2020 election.”

Under Georgia’s election rules, election officials are required to have each ballot scanner print three closing tapes at the end of each voting day, which poll workers must sign or include a documented reason for refusal. Poll workers are also required to start each voting day by printing and signing a “zero tape” that shows voting machines are starting the day with zero votes.

An investigation by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office “sustained” findings that Fulton County “violated Official Election Record Document Processes when it was discovered that thirty-six (36) out of thirty-seven (37) Advanced Voting Precincts in Fulton County, Georgia failed to sign the Tabulation Tapes as required [by SEB rules].” The investigation had also found that officials at 32 sites did not verify their zero tapes.

Cross said at the December hearing, “These signed tapes are the sole legal certification that the reported totals are authentic. Fulton County produced zero signed tabulator tapes in early voting.” He said that he had obtained 77 megabytes of data from the county through an open records request, and that this included 134 tabulator tapes, representing 315,000 votes, none of which were signed.

He noted other irregularities in the election, including polling locations being open “impossibly late hours, like 2:09 am,” and that he had found “duplicated scanner serial numbers, where the memory devices were removed from one scanner and printed on an alternate scanner.”

DOJ releases shocking fake video of Jeffrey Epstein suicide as part of file dump

The DOJ on Monday released shocking footage that appeared to be a recreation of Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide in his Manhattan jail cell — and it briefly set the Internet on fire until it was revealed to be fake.

The video was posted without explanation to the Justice Department’s website as part of its Epstein file dump — with the footage just the latest item among a trove of documents and images to be revealed after the complete horde was ordered released in November.

The grainy, 12-second, computer-generated clip showed a white-haired man in an orange jumpsuit struggling and jerking his head about while kneeling at the base of a jail-cell bunk bed.

The time stamp on the video was 4:29 a.m. Aug. 10, 2019 — two hours before the pedophile’s body was found in his cell that day at the Metropolitan Correctional Facility.

The scene in the video seemed to match Epstein’s cell, where officials determined he hung himself while awaiting trial for a litany of sex-trafficking charges.

But a closer examination of the clip showed things were not quite right – with a pile of orange prison clothes strewn about the ground looking like puddles without any texture, and the door to the jail cell not matching the one in Epstein’s behind-bars compartment.

It soon was revealed in another dumped document that the clip was in fact a fake video that circulated on 4chan and was flagged by investigators by a Florida conspiracy theorist.

A Trump administration official later confirmed to The Post that the video was bogus and has been on YouTube for years. It was eventually taken down from the DOJ’s site Monday.

But its appearance had already caused a flurry of interest online, with many viewers thinking footage of Epstein’s death had finally been revealed.

The Swalwell Files: Fake News Reuters Scrambles to Save Swalwell, Still No California Address, Still Dead Broke

California Congressman Eric Swalwell has accumulated an extraordinary record of controversy: his well-documented association with the Chinese intelligence asset known as “Fang Fang,” his removal from the House Intelligence Committee over national-security concerns, and his unforgettable on-air incident during a 2019 Hardball with Chris Matthews interview.

These episodes alone raise questions about judgment. But recent disclosures expose something even more fundamental.

Eric Swalwell appears unable to meet the basic legal, financial, and residency requirements of the office he now seeks, Governor of California.

As I reported in The Gateway Pundit (‘DISQUALIFIED! – Congressman Eric Swalwell Names Washington DC Home as ‘Principal Residence’), Swalwell’s own mortgage filings designate his Washington, D.C. property as his principal residence.

Under Article V, Section 2 of the California Constitution and California and Elections Code §349, that admission alone disqualifies him from running for governor.

Five years of residency prior to an election is a constitutional requirement, and Swalwell’s Deed of Trust in D.C. and lack of any California address disqualify him.

The situation escalated when Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte referred Swalwell to the Department of Justice for potential mortgage fraud.

Swalwell responded by filing a civil lawsuit against Pulte and FHFA, absurdly claiming in the lawsuit that his mortgage listed on the public database mytax.dc.gov was private, while falsely claiming he included an affidavit with his mortgage claiming it was only his wife’s home.

Vaccine expert Peter Hotez was offered $2.6M free and clear to debate RFK Jr. on vaccine safety. He turned it down.

Earlier today, I offered Paul Offit $1M to publicly debate me for 1 hour.

While I hope he will accept, I am not optimistic.

They simply don’t like to engage in discussions with people who aren’t easily fooled by their rhetoric.

The Grok conversation about Peter Hotez and RFK Jr

From Grok—

Yes, the story about Dr. Peter Hotez being offered millions to debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) on vaccines stems from a June 2023 incident tied to Joe Rogan’s podcast. After RFK Jr. appeared on *The Joe Rogan Experience* and discussed vaccine skepticism, Hotez criticized the episode as spreading “misinformation.” Rogan then publicly challenged Hotez to debate RFK Jr. on his show, offering $100,000 to Hotez’s charity of choice for an unlimited-time discussion on vaccine safety and efficacy.

This sparked a viral crowdfunding effort on X (then Twitter), with high-profile figures pledging more to the pot (all to Hotez’s chosen charity if he participated). The total quickly exceeded $1.5 million and reportedly climbed as high as $2.6 million or more, depending on the tally. Hotez declined, calling it akin to a “Jerry Springer” spectacle and emphasizing that science isn’t debated like politics; he suggested focusing on education instead. Critics, including RFK Jr. supporters, saw the refusal as dodging accountability.

Steve Kirsch’s $100K Contribution

You’re spot on about @stkirsch (vaccine safety advocate and entrepreneur Steve Kirsch). He was one of the first to jump in, pledging **$100,000** to the pot on June 18, 2023—bringing the total to around $500,000 at that point. He later upped his personal commitment to $600,000 the same day, framing it as a “desperate attempt to get the experts to debunk misinformation.” Kirsch has repeatedly referenced this in later posts as evidence that pro-vaccine experts avoid open challenges, even for massive sums.

Kushner and Witkoff Reportedly Draft $112B Plan to Turn Gaza Into ‘Smart City’ With Beach Resorts, High-Speed Rail, and AI Grids — U.S. Pushes Back on Claims It Would Foot $60B

Representatives tied to the Trump administration have circulated a sweeping proposal to rebuild war-torn Gaza into a futuristic international destination, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal.

The plan, formally titled “Project Sunrise,” envisions a decade-long, $112.1 billion redevelopment effort featuring beachside luxury resorts, high-speed rail, and AI-optimized infrastructure.

The draft proposal was developed by a team led by Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, along with senior White House aide Josh Gruenbaum and other administration officials.

The plan is being presented to prospective donor governments via a 32-slide PowerPoint labeled “sensitive but unclassified,” U.S. officials told the Journal.

According to the presentation, Project Sunrise would convert Gaza’s devastated landscape into a modern coastal metropolis.

Slides reportedly show high-rise developments along the Mediterranean, cost tables, and phased timelines designed to move residents “from tents to penthouses” and stimulate long-term economic growth.

U.S. officials said the plan has been shared with potential donor nations, including wealthy Gulf states as well as Turkey and Egypt.

However, the proposal does not specify which governments or private entities would ultimately finance the project, nor does it detail where Gaza’s roughly two million displaced residents would live during reconstruction, according to WSJ.

The draft estimates total costs at $112.1 billion over 10 years, including humanitarian relief, infrastructure rebuilding, and public-sector payrolls.

Of that amount, nearly $60 billion would allegedly come from grants and debt guarantees, with the United States offering to serve as an “anchor” for roughly 20% or more of that support.

The U.S. State Department immediately moved to push back on the claims that American taxpayers would directly shoulder $60 billion of the project’s cost.

DOJ Charges California Food Stamp Official for Sending Benefits to Dead People – Then Spending Them

Federal prosecutors have charged a longtime California welfare worker with carrying out a multi-year fraud scheme involving food assistance benefits and dead people.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of former Madera County benefits eligibility worker Leticia Mariscal, 55, of Madera.

Prosecutors alleged that Mariscal stole tens of thousands of dollars in CalFresh benefits by exploiting her access to county databases.

CalFresh is California’s version of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

According to the Justice Department, the alleged scheme took place between December 2020 and April 2025.

Mariscal is accused of improperly accessing identifying information for elderly and deceased individuals.

Authorities said she secretly approved those individuals for CalFresh benefits.

Prosecutors alleged that she then printed EBT cards in their names. Benefits were then deposited onto the cards and allegedly spent by Mariscal herself.

Federal authorities say that more than 15 identities were used in the scheme, The New York Post reported.

The total amount allegedly stolen was at least $40,000.

The case reportedly came to light after the son of a 91-year-old woman living in a nursing home questioned why his mother was receiving food assistance.

Investigators later confronted Mariscal with security footage, according to the complaint.

She allegedly admitted to the conduct after being shown the footage.

Prosecutors said she attempted to shift blame to a former boyfriend she had described as a gang member.

Somali ‘Medicaid Mogul’ Accused Of Looting Maine Taxpayers, Family Allegedly Put Bounty On Reporter

If you thought the alleged Medicaid fraud in Minnesota by Somalis, which federal prosecutors say could reach $9 billion, was insane, wait until you read the latest report from The Maine Wire: the head of a local nonprofit is accused of lashing out at a local journalist over an investigation, while members of his family allegedly put a bounty on the head of a journalist in Somalia for sharing the reporting.

Earlier this month, Abdullahi Ali, the Executive Director of Health Services contractor Gateway Community Services, was accused of ripping off taxpayers.

NewsNation spoke with a whistleblower who spilled the beans: false records were filed for services that were never provided…

A former Gateway employee, Christopher Bernardini, said the nonprofit was reimbursed with tax dollars from Maine’s Medicaid program and later with federal tax dollars from the Paycheck Protection Program.

While heading up the nonprofit in Maine, Ali was also running for President of Jubbaland in Africa. He boasted to a Kenyan media outlet about how he helped raise funds for the Jubaland Somali army to buy guns and bullets.
