Pentagon gave $39 MILLION to Dr. Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance – the charity that funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan lab

The Pentagon gave $39 million to a charity that funded controversial coronavirus research at a Chinese lab accused of being the source for Covid-19, federal data reveals.

The news comes as the charity’s chief, British-born scientist Dr. Peter Daszak, was exposed in an alleged conflict of interest and back-room campaign to discredit lab leak theories.

The charity, EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), has come under intense scrutiny after it emerged that it had been using federal grants to fund research into coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

Experts say Trudeau’s acknowledgment of Indigenous genocide could have legal impacts

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s acceptance of an inquiry’s finding that Canada committed genocide against Indigenous people could have tremendous legal impact if a court ever weighs Ottawa’s responsibility for crimes against humanity, experts say.

Amid growing outrage and grief over an unmarked burial site at a residential school in British Columbia, Trudeau reiterated this week that he accepts the conclusion of the 2019 inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women that “what happened amounts to genocide.”

Huh? The women were killed by fellow natives.

Ontario reports 744 new Covid cases … and more on those pesky variants

Ontario reports 744 new COVID-19 cases, 24 more deaths

Ontario is reporting a dip in the number of new COVID-19 infections today after a slight uptick in daily case counts over the past couple of days.

Provincial health officials logged 744 new COVID-19 cases today, down from 914 on Friday and 870 on Thursday.

Race between vaccines and variants is back on as B.1.617 takes hold in Canada

A new coronavirus variant is taking hold in Canada, leaving experts divided over whether it will expose the weaknesses in our strategy to prioritize first doses of COVID-19 vaccines and jeopardize reopening in much of the country.

Some worry that’s the case, but with Canada’s vaccine supply ramping up and second doses accelerating across the country, others believe fears over B.1.617 may be overblown.

So how at risk are we from B.1.617, the variant first identified in India also known as delta, and how concerned should Canadians be as we inch closer to reopening much of the country?

I can now schedule my second Jab as of Monday. Let’s hope it works.

EPA says it will declare a desert flower an ‘endangered species’ that could halt a mine necessary for electric vehicle batteries

The idiotic and expensive plans to force electric vehicles down the throats of drivers have run into an obstacle created by a law that environmentalists demanded. You can’t have electric vehicles without lithium ion batteries, and you can’t build all those car batteries without a supply of lithium, which some warn will be inadequate soon.

Doctors warn ‘Wokeness feels like an existential threat’ to medicine

Earlier today Bari Weiss published the first in a series of stories about the spread of woke ideology in the field of medicine. The piece was written by reporter Katie Herzog who co-hosts a podcast with Jesse Singal, another critic of cancel culture. The piece opens exactly the way some previous pieces on this topic have opened, with a group of about a dozen people who meet regularly on Zoom to discuss what they see happening in their own workplaces. The only difference is that these people are doctors.

New York Times Scrambles After Babylon Bee Sics Its Lawyers on Them

Seth Dillon, CEO of the wildly popular Babylon Bee satire site, announced on Twitter Thursday that the company’s lawyers have sent a letter to the New York Times accusing the paper of defamation and demanding the retraction of an article calling the Bee a “far-right misinformation site” that “sometimes trafficked in misinformation under the guise of satire.”

China-Appeasing Column Insists Lab-Leak Theory Is ‘Garbage’

On the menu today: A Los Angeles Times columnist decrees the lab-leak theory to be “garbage” and says the real lesson of the pandemic is that the United States needs to “cooperate with China” more; a “3.6 Roentgen reading” of a jobs report; a Chinese-government spokesman suffers a bitter defeat; and an appreciation for some kind words.

Is Britain now a police state? Genuine question

There is so much bad faith in the free-speech debate. We’re told it isn’t really an issue. People being sacked after they tweet something? That’s just accountability. Speakers being No Platformed on campus? That’s just students exercising their free speech. Censorship is only really about the state, the cancel-culture denialists tell us.

Hitler’s Multicultural Supporters

You don’t have to be a white supremacist to love Hitler.

“The world today needs a Hitler,” CNN correspondent Adeel Raja tweeted. Tala Halawa, the BBC’s “Palestinian” specialist, had previously tweeted a rant that included #HitlerWasRight.

Researchers have found that the #HitlerWasRight hashtag was intertwined not just with the usual white supremacists, but with more “progressive” hashtags like #FreePalestine.

San Francisco’s progressive nightmare

The city’s radical approach to criminal justice has failed its most vulnerable

In April, Synciere Williams, a baby of just nine months, was declared dead in a San Francisco emergency room with signs of trauma on his body. In January, newlywed 26-year-old Sheria Musyoka was killed on his morning jog when a drunk career criminal in a stolen 4×4 ran a red light and struck him. A few weeks before, in the middle of the day, Hanako Abe and Elizabeth Platt were killed in a hit-and-run by another criminal with a long rap sheet, also driving a stolen car and high on crystal meth.

What did Dr. Fauci know, and when did he know it?

Nearly 50 years ago, two iconic Tennesseans posed the pivotal question that led to the unveiling of one of the biggest political cover-ups in American history. Fred Thompson, then-counsel to the Watergate Committee, wrote the question for then-Sen. Howard Baker, who asked, “What did the president know, and when did he know it?”

Today, we must ask: What did Dr. Anthony Fauci know, and when did he know it?

Rock Bottom – How progressive reforms helped level a historic part of black Detroit

The United States recently marked the 100th anniversary of the 1921 Greenwood Massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The newfound attention, including from the president, to the destruction of Tulsa’s “Black Wall Street” reminds us that thriving, dynamic black communities existed in America long before the War on Poverty or the civil rights legislation of the 1960s. But Greenwood was not the only African-American neighborhood that would be leveled: consider the DeSoto-Carr section of St. Louis, parts of Chicago’s Bronzeville, Cedar-Central in Cleveland—and Black Bottom in Detroit.

UFO whistleblower says Pentagon report doesn’t disprove alien theory as he warns findings being watered down

The former Pentagon official in charge of a UFO investigation unit, Luis Elizondo, says he fears findings are being watered down.

Ahead of the release of files this month, Mr Elizondo told the New York Post on Thursday he would run for Congress to force defence department officials to release the full findings into UFOs, or UAPs [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena].

It follows a report in The New York Times on Thursday that intelligence officials found no evidence of UAPs, ahead of the 25 June release of a report to Congress.

‘The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind’

A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale’s Child Study Center spoke about ‘unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way.’

A few weeks ago, someone sent me a recording of a talk called “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind.” It was delivered at the Yale School of Medicine’s Child Study Center by a New York-based psychiatrist as part of Grand Rounds, an ongoing program in which clinicians and others in the field lecture students and faculty.

When I listened to the talk I considered the fact that it might be some sort of elaborate prank. But looking at the doctor’s social media, it seems completely genuine.

Winston Boogie Smith — felon with 20 prior busts — pulled gun on cops before he was killed

The man who was fatally shot by Minneapolis cops Thursday had been wanted in connection with a felony arms conviction and been involved in at least 20 previous run-ins with authorities, according to records and a report.

Winston Boogie Smith, 32, was gunned down in the Midwest city around 2 p.m. when he “produced a handgun” as members of a US Marshals task force tried to take him into custody on the state warrant, the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department said.
