Sanctuary Nation?
Santa Clara County shows where we might be headed in tolerating illegal-immigrant crime.
The powers that be in California’s Santa Clara County have forbidden contact sports—including San Francisco 49ers games, which will be held in Arizona—for the remainder of the season, due to rising Covid-19 cases. Such overreach in California’s sixth-largest county, justified by claims to enhance public safety, is ironic, given Santa Clara’s lax sanctuary policies, which have recently resulted in tragic deaths.
What They Don’t Tell You About Electric Vehicles
“Fast” charging is a gift that keeps on taking up your time.
Would you wait 15 minutes to get a fast-food hamburger?
Electric cars will make you wait longer. This includes even those touted as being capable of receiving a “fast” charge in 15 minutes or so. Because you’ll have to wait for the car plugged in ahead of you to “fast” charge.
This assumes you’re second in line. If you’re third …
Why Is Media Stoking Disinformation Campaigns?
Americans need to insist that legacy media be held to account as a treacherous culprit in the mass deception campaigns attributed to politicians, shady public relations operatives, and foreign powers.
Disinformation media campaigns operated by the Russians and the Chinese may also have a domestic origin. It is not what one would think. They don’t come from sleeper cells. Instead, the American legacy media, by way of its greed and lack of accountability, is responsible for the deception.
Twitter to wipe Trump’s followers before Biden handover
Twitter has confirmed that the official US presidential accounts will be wiped of their millions of followers before being transferred to the Biden administration.
Mr Biden’s team “fought” the plan, but the social media giant said its decision was “unequivocal”.
The move marks a reversal from the last transition.
Twitter agreed to Donald Trump’s request in 2016 to inherit Barack Obama’s millions of followers.
Twitter will suffer without Trump.
Chinese-Made Vaccines Under Scrutiny as Hundreds of Vaccinated Chinese Workers Get Infected Overseas
Hundreds of Chinese workers overseas have reportedly been infected with COVID-19 despite being vaccinated with Chinese-manufactured vaccines. Experts are raising the alarm as they question the vaccines’ effectiveness.
According to a Dec. 15 story on Radio Free Asia (RFA), at least 16 Chinese employees from a major state-owned enterprise stationed at Lunda Norte province, Angola, were infected with the CCP virus. A Chinese citizen, surnamed Gao, said they all had received the vaccines developed by China’s Sinopharm. Taking the vaccine was a requirement for Chinese citizens working abroad.
Delingpole: Eric Clapton Sings Anti-Lockdown Song; Trolls Mock His Dead Kid
What exactly is wrong with writing and singing a protest song calling for more freedom?
Plenty, apparently, if your names are Van Morrison and Eric Clapton.
How the mutated form of Covid has rapidly spread across swathes of England over the last fortnight – and now accounts for more than 60% of cases in London
The mutated coronavirus strain has rapidly spread through swathes of England in a fortnight, according to official data that shows it now accounts for the majority of infections in some regions.
The Office for National Statistics estimates 62 per cent of cases in London were because of the new variant in the week up to December 9, the most recent snapshot provided by the Government agency. That was almost double the amount of infections in the capital attributed to the mutation in the seven-day period to November 25 (35 per cent).
It’s believed the new variant — thought to be up to 70 per cent more infectious than regular Covid — emerged in a patient in Kent and made its way into London and the commuter belt.
Oh great… New British Covid-19 strain ‘appears more transmissible in young people and children,’ says WHO
But wait there’s more! Two cases of ‘highly concerning’ COVID variant from South Africa identified in UK
Two cases of another new strain of COVID-19 linked to South Africa have been identified in the UK, Matt Hancock said.
Speaking at a Downing Street press conference on Wednesday, the health secretary revealed the new variant “is yet more transmissible and it appears to have mutated further” than the one previously identified in the UK.
He said: “Both are cases, both are contacts of cases, who have travelled from South Africa over the past few weeks.
Virginia Judge Moves Trial Of Black Man To Different Court; Says Fair Trial Impossible Because Of White Judges’ Portraits
A Virginia judge issued an opinion in which he stated that a black man who was being tried on charges of eluding police must not have his trial in one of the courtrooms used during the coronavirus pandemic because those larger courtrooms have numerous portraits of white people.
Drug Trafficking: The Dirtiest Little Secret
Here is the answer: Law enforcement corruption. The question? Why are we continuing to fight and lose the “War on Drugs,” proclaimed by President Nixon, almost fifty years ago, in June 1971?
Think about the U.S. forces arrayed against Mexican drug cartels: DEA, FBI, Homeland Security, state police forces, county sheriffs, municipal police forces, even the postal service. We have established High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task forces with their own regional fusion centers.
The United States is incapable of defeating Mexican cartels? We can transport armored and special operations forces halfway around the world to the Middle East and Southwest Asia, and defeat both conventional and irregular military forces — but we cannot secure our southern border and stop the poisoning of our own population?
Bruce Pardy: Our year of bowing down to ‘The Science’
‘Obey the science’ has come to mean ‘Believe what we tell you and do as you are told’
In 2020, lockdown diktats from our chief medical officers reminded me of an old joke. A woman has died and is waiting in a long lineup at the Pearly Gates. When an old, bearded gentleman wearing a lab coat and stethoscope skips the line and gets ushered right in, the woman marches up to Saint Peter and demands an explanation. “Oh, that was God,” Peter tells her, “Sometimes he likes to play doctor.”
‘SHE WAS THREATENED’: Suicide ruling for Pakistani human rights activist questioned
Activist friends and family of Karima Mehrab claim her death was no accident.
Lateef Johar Baloch said the last time he spoke with the 37-year-old Pakistani human rights activist was on Friday about her courses at University of Toronto, where she was studying political science and economics. She went missing on Sunday and Balcoh said her body was pulled from Lake Ontario, near Centre Island, on Monday.
Professor Shi Welcomes Visit To Wuhan Virology Lab, Lab Quickly Says That’s Not Approved
Yesterday the BBC published an interesting piece about the origin of the coronavirus. The piece notes that a team of scientists working for WHO are belatedly examining the evidence for the virus’ origins in China. The group of 10 is scheduled to visit Wuhan next month to examine the wet market once thought to be the site where the virus may have jumped from some intermediate mammal to humans.
