22,000% Increase in Deaths following COVID Vaccines for Adults Over 50 as FDA Authorizes 2nd Booster for this Age Group
The FDA announced today that it has issued another emergency use authorization (EUA) for a second COVID booster vaccine for adults over the age of 50, and as young as 12 years old if they are "immune compromised." Pfizer had made the request for a second booster shot two weeks ago, but their request was for adults over the age of 65. The FDA, however, lowered that to age 50, and issued the EUA for both the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. Do you think the FDA looked at the data in their Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) regarding COVID-19 vaccines for this age gr... read more

Donald Trump, John Eastman and the Silence of the Justice Department
Donald Trump on Jan. 12, 2021 (Official Photo from Trump White House Archives) It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the United States has never seen an account of a president’s conduct quite so devastating as the first nine pages of Judge David Carter’s opinion of March 28 in Eastman v. Thompson. The opinion, legally speaking, concerns the Jan. 6 committee’s efforts to secure emails from John Eastman, the law professor who provided President Trump with advice aimed at overturning the 2020 election.

President Putin Did Not Emerge Out Of A Clear Blue Sky
It has now been over a month since Vladimir Putin ordered Russian military forces to invade Ukraine. In this short amount of time, a tidal wave of sentimental gush has emerged from Western countries that has glossed over even the most modest criticism of the Ukrainian government while vilifying Putin and his country to an extent that is increasingly trespassing into the realm of the absurd. This narrative, disseminated by Washington, its allies, and its minions in the corporate-owned media, has been so predictable as to be bordering on self-parody, with some going so far as to dra... read more

In the early morning of March 19, 2022, agents from the federal Security Service of Ukraine, the SBU, showed up at the apartment of Yuri Tkachev, editor-in-chief of the online publication Timer, based in the southern Black Sea port of Odessa. What happened next was reported on Timer’s website (1), quoting journalist and human rights activist Oksana Chelysheva (2), who said she had spoken with Tkachev’s wife: “According to [Oksana], when Yuri opened the door of the apartment, he did not show any resistance.

The demonstration was attended mostly by students from three New Orleans high schools who have taken the initiative in organizing bold actions both on and off their ... read more
Biden Using Ukraine Crisis To Justify Investments In Nuclear Weapons
The Biden administration’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2023, released March 28, calls for massive investments in nuclear weapons, including the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) — an intercontinental ballistic missile system that is fiercely opposed by anti-nuclear activists. President Biden is using Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to justify the investments, citing the alleged need for deterrence. The budget proposes $34.4 billion to “recapitalize all three legs of the nuclear triad,” according to a Department of Defense summary. The “triad” is a reference to submarines, ... read more

Doctors Who Care For Trans Kids Are Being Targeted, Protested, Harassed
Protests are pretty common at the Little Rock, Arkansas, clinic where Dr. Janet Cathey works. After all, she works for Planned Parenthood. Controversy is practically part of the job description. But at one recent protest, Cathey noticed an unusual sign. It was homemade, and it wasn’t condemning abortion. Instead, its message was: “Boys are born boys, girls are born girls.” “Oh, so they’re picking on us for the transgender care, too,” Cathey, director of gender education for Planned Parenthood of Great Plains, recalled thinking. Arkansas is the only state whose governor has signe... read more

Identity sifting all the way down!
*TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2022* *Today, tomorrow, forever:* On Sunday evening, in Tinseltown, Chris Rock was conducting a somewhat typical "middle school"-style roast. Amy Schumer had already told at least one very good joke. As we noted yesterday, her very good joke went like this: *This year, the academy hired three women to host because it’s cheaper than hiring one man.* As we noted yesterday, we don't know if Tinseltown's pay scales are really anything like that. But really good jokes evade fact-checks, and that was a darn good joke! On this unfortunate occasion, Rock's joke pret... read more

Biden's Manifesto of Death
Chalking up his reckless call for removing Putin from power to a spontaneous moment of righteous outrage, President Biden has quickly pivoted to calling for more disempowerment and oppression of the serfs back here in The Homeland. His proposed 2023 federal budget is a deadly and belligerent manifesto for more austerity, more war, and a vast enhancement of the domestic police state. In true Orwellian doublethink fashion, though, the insider-y *Politico *news site is calling this gruesome document a "peace offering" to Acting President Joe Manchin, senator of West Virginia.

DeSANTIS'S ANTI-DEMOCRATIC INSTINCTS HAVE BUSH-ERA ROOTS
Jonathan Chait has written a pretty good feature story on our possible Ron DeSantis future. I appreciate the warning that the entire Republican Party has settled on DeSantis as the alternative to Donald Trump if Trump doesn't run in 2024: People who do not ingest large amounts of conservative media may have difficulty comprehending the extent of the adulation both the Trumpist and the Trump-skeptical wings of the party have lavished on DeSantis. On a daily basis, the right-wing press churns out stories with headlines like “The Promise of Ron DeSantis,” “Could Gov. Ron DeSantis Be t... read more
