[If the US was being damaged even a tenth as much as claimed by foreign state-sponsored rogue hackers demanding money, and we did nothing, then we are over as a sovereign nation-state.  Rebane Doctrine calls for 10:1 retribution on the infrastructures of such sponsoring states; none of this crap about ‘balanced’, 'measured', or ‘proportional’ responses that we might take some day when we really get pissed off.  We’re playing with thugs who worship and understand only force – it’s time to up the ante and convince Russia and China that the price of cyberwarfare just went up.  Gjr]

    Germany’s floods
    ABOUT THOSE GERMAN FLOODS
    Most people understand that leftists take advantage of real or alleged crises to expand their power. But an equally important phenomenon is that they use crises of various kinds to excuse their own incompetence. (Covid has served such a purpose over the last year and a half; it has become a near-universal excuse for failure of performance.) The recent floods in Germany, which killed more than 150 people, are a case in point, as Die Welt and the No Tricks Zone report.
    The starting point, of course, is the Left’s knee-jerk blaming of German floods on “climate change”–just as the current drought in the Midwestern United States is blamed on “climate change.” Any weather you don’t like is “climate change,” and “climate change” exists for the sole purpose of giving government more power over our lives.

    re: Barrack
    Hey, if he failed to register as lobbying for a foreign government, then shame on him. Normal practice is for the State Department to send the alleged American or American Company a letter saying to register now or face big fine. Think they have prosecuted such violations about once a decade. About 3-5 cases since….I dunno…1979 or something. Just shows how weaponized the DOJ has become. Lobbying the administration for UAE? Not good. Use him as an example. Send him off to the Black Hole of Calcutta.
    Paul Manafort got charged for lobbying in behalf of the Pro-Russian President of Ukraine as one of the many charges he face. However, his partner in the Ukraine PR work, one Tony Podesta, was allowed to register later when he got his letter from the State Department without prosecution. As a side note of interest, years ago Barrack loaned Manafort money to refinance his home in New Hampshire. Small world.
    Speaking of Tony Podesta…..whose PR firm went bankrupt when Trump won and Podesta lost all his clients who were banking on Hillary’s win…..
    ‘Communist China Tech Firm Huawei Hires Democrat Lobbyist Tony Podesta For Biden Connections’
    “Democrat lobbyist Tony Podesta is joining Huawei, a Chinese firm known for kowtowing to nations adversarial to the U.S. and maintaining close relations with the Chinese Communist Party, as a consultant to help the tech giant push an agenda on the Biden administration.”

    “Lord” Fauci.. The Michael aventail of the medical field.
    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/madison-cawthorn-call-legal-action-anthony-fauci
    His lies and flipflops are coming back to bite.
    “Rep. Madison Cawthorn says he stands by his criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci after the doctor appeared on Fox News and rebuked Cawthorn’s suggestion that legal action should be taken against Fauci.
    “Dr. Fauci broke his oath,” Cawthorn told Fox News. “Not only his oath in Congress, but his Hippocratic oath as a doctor, to do no harm. I stand by my statements, and justice will be served.”
    Cawthorn explained to Fox News the specific laws that he believes Fauci violated after testifying to Congress under oath that no “gain of function” research was funded by the United States at the Wuhan lab, which several Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul, believe was a lie.
    FAUCI, RAND PAUL TRADE ‘LYING’ ACCUSATIONS ABOUT GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH IN HEARING ON DELTA VARIANT
    “U.S. Code sections 1621 and 1001 of Title 18 are the two relevant legal standards at play here,” Cawthorn said. “Section 1621 states that anyone who ‘willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true’ is guilty of perjury and shall be fined or imprisoned up to five years, or both. Section 1001 stipulates that ‘whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the government of the United States, knowingly and willfully” falsifies or conceals information, including before a congressional committee’s inquiry, may also be fined or imprisoned up to five years.’’”
    Sen. Paul agreed with Cawthorn’s conclusion and filed a criminal referral against Dr. Fauci based on reports that the U.S. government spent money on gain of function research at the Wuhan lab in question.”

    House Dems to the rescue!
    ‘House Democrats Block Bill Declassifying The Origins Of COVID-19’
    House Democrats killed a bill Tuesday that would have required the White House to declassify intelligence related to the origins of the COVID-19 virus after the proposal from Sen. Hawley of Missouri and Sen. Braun of Indiana passed unanimously in the Senate.
    The COVID-19 Origin Act was brought to the floor by Representatives Burgess (R-TX), LaHood (R-IL), and Wenstrup (R-OH) before it was shot down in a 216 to 207 vote.
    Fauci spent a whole year working with FB to block all research papers/ lab scientists/investigative reporting on the origins of the Wuhan Kung Flue Virus. A whole year and FB and the mainstream media went along as ordered.
    And House Dems blocked looking into it???? By, we know which side of their bread is buttered.
    As far as The Fraud Fauci and the medical Dr. Rand Paul skirmish goes, it’s the same game as the CRT white people haters are playing. They do everything straight from the CRT handbook says, but call it a different name, lol. We are not teaching CTR, we are teaching history! We are not teaching White Systemic Structural Racism, we are teaching classroom behavior.
    Same with the Fraud Fauci. By the NIH’s own definition of Gain of Fiction (which is barred by Congress and the NIH among others) you can go down the list of what the definition consists of and check each and every item. It’s sure as hell is Gain of Function by definition, but the Lying Fraud Fauci says it’s not gain of function. Meets all the criteria, but don’t call it gain of function!
    Fraudster Fauci says the NIH NEVER gave money to fund gain of function to the Wuhan Lab. No, he gave tons of taxpayer dollars throughout the years to his buddy Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance who in turn funneled money to the Wuhan Lab with our hard earned money.
    Peter Dastak’s (EcoHealth Alliance) grant request to NIH listed every single procedure and lab experiment that comprises the NIH’s own definition of Gain of Function research. But, don’ t call it Gain of Function!!, Don’t call it CRT.
    4 million deaths. And they still claim the novel virus jumped from the horseshoe bat lousy inept very inadequate (non) carrier of SARS) in Wuhan to some unknown yet to be found missing link to a human being! Beam me up, Scottie.
    Dems to the resue! Blame Trump!
    If nothing else, Trump’s instincts were right on. He sniffed that one out but the media squelched it.

    https://justthenews.com/government/congress/bidens-infrastructure-proposals-would-cost-225-million-job-based-moodys
    Goldwein said he has some issues with the Moody’s report.
    “The report seems to be based on, sort of, an idealized version of what’s happening,” he said. “They count all sorts of offsets for the bipartisan infrastructure framework that aren’t actually going to save any money. We’ll see what negotiators come up with. I’m optimistic that on Monday they’re going to come out with better offsets, but right now they’re counting stuff like unemployment savings from states cancelling benefits that already happens as if it’s new savings.”
    Goldwein said the bipartisan framework estimates that the government will reduce unemployment fraud so much that unemployment insurance spending will be 45% lower in 2031 than it otherwise would be.
    “There’s no way that half of the program is fraud,” he said. “Some of these assumptions don’t hold up when you actually look at the legislation.”
