"Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him." - Proverbs 26:12

Interview with Michael Yeadon, former Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Pfizer, where he worked for 16 years. He outlines his position on the pandemic, the vaccine, the issue of variants, boosters and the loss of our civil liberties. It is truly an appeal to the world.

Months after recovering from mild cases of COVID-19, people still have immune cells in their body pumping out antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Such cells could persist for a lifetime, churning out antibodies all the while.

Drew Holden tweets pointing out the "debunked conspiracy theory" narrative.… Ted Cruz just baited the Washington Post on this issue, too….

“Right now, we have no accountability — zero accountability — they give no explanation to justify the shooting and they do not even identify the officer. That is what they do in autocratic countries, not in the United States,” Maryland attorney Terrell N. Roberts III told the Washington Times.

The Biden administration is using the Jan. 6 incursion into the Capitol building as a pretext for a domestic spying campaign that will supposedly target “violent extremists” but is more accurately described as the beginnings of a Biden police state.

The government, according to Barnett, opened up a shuttered jail facility specifically to house January 6 detainees. The accused are in restrictive housing, ostensibly to protect them from the jail system’s general population—but the conditions are anything but special.…

"…[A]ll the cells are contaminated with black mold, even the sink we are supposed to drink out of. …The guards gave us some kind of cleaner but it didn’t really work.” The cells are roughly 70 square feet with a concrete slab for a bed, a toilet, and a sink. Detainees are held in solitary confinement conditions for 23 hours a day. Breakfast… arrives at 3:30 in the morning and is inedible “slop.” Dinner usually consists of bologna.…

The leader of a Pentagon working group overseeing efforts to root out domestic extremists in the military tweeted in 2019 that any supporter of former President Donald Trump unequivocally supports extremism and racism.

“Support for him, a racist, is support for ALL his beliefs,” Bishop Garrison, who was appointed by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to lead the Countering Extremism Working Group (CEWG), tweeted in July 2019 in reference to Trump.

“He’s dragging a lot of bad actors (misogynist, extremists, other racists) out into the light, normalizing their actions,” Garrison, an Army veteran, tweeted. “If you support the President, you support that.”

“There is no room for nuance with this,” he added. “There is no more ‘but I’m not like that’ talk.”

Mayor Steve Adler’s Austin is still getting worse. He led the explosion of homeless camping citywide and the defunding of police.

Police are leaving in droves, crime is spiking hard, and homeless camping has spread serious blight all over the city.… If you walk or drive around city hall in Austin, Texas, now, you’ll see a new tent city. …[C]ity hall is occupied. A tent city with its own machete-wielding “security” squats on space on which it has always been illegal to camp. Mayor Steve Adler is doing nothing about it.…

New and shiny.
