    Kari Lake now joins Trumps Pathetic Losers by refusing to accept defeat.
    “Republican Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey met with his Democratic successor Katie Hobbs on Wednesday, offering his congratulations for her win and pledging to work with her to ensure a smooth transition. Hobbs defeated her Republican challenger, right-wing election denier Kari Lake, who had secured the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
    Lake has so far refused to accept defeat, calling the race a “botched election.”

    Fauchi the fraud –
    “Another tidbit from Fauci depo: In Feb ‘20 he emailed a friend advising her masks were ineffective. Confirmed again on Mar 31. On Apr 3 he’s adamant masks should be worn even though he couldn’t cite a single study to prove it. Mandates followed—Lives ruined.”
    “Defendant Dr. Anthony Fauci, a senior federal government official, coordinating with others, orchestrated a campaign to discredit the lab-leak hypothesis in early 2020,” Landry and Schmitt said in their brief. “As director of [National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases] NIAID, Dr. Fauci had funded risky ‘gain-of-function’ research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through intermediaries such as EcoHealth Alliance, headed by Dr. Peter Daszak.”
    “Thus, if the lab-leak theory were established, Dr. Fauci and Dr. Daszak could be potentially implicated in funding the research on viruses that caused the COVID19 pandemic and killed millions of people worldwide,” they said.
    According to a Wednesday tweet following the deposition, Schmitt said Fauci “knew the Lab Leak theory had merit but it’d come back to him & sought to immediately discredit it.”

    “California first banned gas-powered cars. Now it’s targeting diesel-powered semi-trucks. And the charging stations needed for the electric trucks that would replace diesel trucks will require about the same amount of power as a small town. …California state officials, according to the Wall Street Journal, estimate the state will need 157,000 semi truck chargers by 2030 to support their proposed rules for electric semis. The average cost of a high-level passenger charging station is about $500,000 each. At that rate, the state will need $78.5 billion to cover the cost of the chargers. Since large rigs will need a lot more power, it’s likely the stations will cost more. “

    Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson: “We Are Truly In A Crisis” On Southern Border
    March 29, 2019
    “When I was in office in Kirstjen Nielsen’s job, at her desk, I’d get to work around 6:30 in the morning and there’d be my intelligence book sitting on my desk, the PDB, and also the apprehension numbers from the day before,” Johnson said. “And I’d look at them every morning, it’d be the first thing I’d look at. And I probably got too close to the problem, and my staff will tell you if it was under 1,000 apprehensions the day before that was a relatively good number, and if it was above 1,000 it was a relatively bad number, and I was gonna be in a bad mood the whole day.”
    “On Tuesday, there were 4,000 apprehensions. I know that a thousand overwhelms the system. I cannot begin to imagine what 4,000 a day looks like, so we are truly in a crisis,” Johnson explained.
    Wonder what 17,000 a day looks like. Actually, I know. I follow the facts, not the journalists.

    Bump.
    Speaking of Biden’s laptop, I have a nagging question. It’s a question that is too hot for the press to handle and not even rumor sites will touch it. Apparently, Hunter was whining and whining on his e-mails about everyone taking a cut of his action (especially the Big Guy who Hunter had to pay the utilities for at some house in DE) and Hunter was pissed off. He went off on a dude he called Pedo Pete.
    I will not even hazard a guess who Pedo Pete is in the Biden circle of corruption. But we can rest assured that the Chinese and Russians have followed closely Joe Biden’s crackhead son and acquaintances and all Pedo Pete adds to the mix is more hard core blackmail of our President. Man, those Corrupt Dems sure are sympathetic to the pedos,
    Chinese and the Russians have the blackmail goods on our Chief Executive. Most disturbing and a National Security threat for sure.
    Anyway Bump, do you know who Pedo Pete is? Guess we will find out in a couple of years. That Pedo Pete sure is a greedy bastard from Hunter’s rants. Time will or will not tell

    “New York City Councilmember Erik Bottcher, who represents the area, said definitively, “These are hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community.””
    “As it stands, Bottcher and Levine’s tweets about the matter are still posted. So, as far as their followers are concerned, VERS was attacked due to homophobia and bigotry — which doesn’t appear to be true.
    Don’t expect them to retract their statements either. The Left never lets the truth get in the way of a good story that advances their cause.“

    A forensic anthropologist unmasks insidious interpretations of fossil finds.
    .. . “The delays in recognizing how racism damages and paralyses science remind us how much stamina is required to become anti-racist. White privilege and presumed superiority in all matters of importance have been the norm for so long that it has become a fundamental construct of Western societies. To counter this deeply embedded narrative . . . requires courage, especially when you have been a beneficiary of these prejudicial practices. To recognize, expose and call out the racism in science is not easy, particularly in the hallowed halls of academia.”

    Trumps pal Nick Fuentes is really a nut case and a weirdo and Trump invited him over to his house for dinner. In a recent episode of his show, America First, Fuentes said:
    “Gay people do date girls all the time. All these gay people are coming out and saying, ‘I’ve had more girlfriends than Nick. I’ve had sex with more girls than Nick.’
    “That actually makes me really more heterosexual than anyone.”
    “If we’re really being honest, never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman really makes you more heterosexual,” Fuentes said, “because honestly, dating women is gay, having sex with women is gay. And having sex with men is gay.”
    “Really it’s all gay.”
    “The only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel. That’s it. That’s all there is.”
    “Having sex in itself is gay, I think. I think that it’s really a gay act. Think about it this way: What’s gayer than being like ‘I need cuddles. I need kisses I need to spend time with a woman.’ That’s a little sus.
