NOTABLE QUOTES

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): Following COVID vaccinations in the U.S.  between Dec. 14, 2020, and March 4, 2022 there were a total  783,282 adverse events, including 11,505 deaths and 75,286 serious injuries. Of the 11,505 U.S. deaths 17% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 22% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 60% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

Robert Spencer contributor to Frontpage Magazine:  “We will pass critical reforms,” Trump said, “making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States. The deep state must and will be brought to heel.” It’s a commonsensical solution, as Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance pointed out. “Everyone is losing their mind about this, but I’ve been calling for it at every town hall I do. Either the president controls the executive branch or he doesn’t. If he doesn’t, we don’t live in a Republic, we live in a civil service driven oligarchy.

Glenn Greenwald investigative journalist: Whatever else is true, both the CIA/media disinformation campaign in the weeks before the 2020 election and the resulting regime of brute censorship imposed by Big Tech are of historic significance. Democrats and their new allies in the establishment wing of the Republican Party may be more excited by war in Ukraine than the subversion of their own election by the unholy trinity of the intelligence community, the corporate press, and Big Tech. But today’s admission by The New York Times that this archive and the emails in it were real all along proves that a gigantic fraud was perpetrated by the country’s most powerful institutions. What matters far more than the interest level of various partisan factions is the core truths about U.S. democracy revealed by this tawdry spectacle.

Andrea Widburg contributor to American Thinker: There are two types of hereditary aristocracy. One has a sense of noblesse oblige (i.e., it maintains its privileges by serving the people) and the other is parasitical, superficial, and disgusting. Our current federal politicians act like the second type. Exhibit A for the fact our political class needs to be voted out, is the writhingly bad performances from Biden and Pelosi at the annual St. Patrick’s Day lunch, along with a celebratory spirit at odds with America’s slow, seemingly inexorable collapse.

Julie Kelly contributor to American Greatness: The mythology of January 6 revolves around any number of lies: an “armed” insurrection without firearms; police officers who didn’t die at the hands of Trump supporters; a “conspiracy” that doesn’t exist—to name a few. But lies related to the whereabouts of Harris and Pence—whose own advisor continues to propagate the possible falsehood—will take the dishonest narrative to a new level. Thousands of criminal charges, which have destroyed the lives of those prosecuted, depend on this lie.

Spencer: Now You’re Talking: Trump Offers a Proposal to Destroy the Deep State
At his South Carolina rally Saturday night, Trump continued to tease a 2024 run and made a new promise about how he would break the power of the unelected “deep state.” “We will pass critical reforms,” Trump said, “making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States. The deep state must and will be brought to heel.” […] Quite so. And although the “deep state” only came to the attention of most Americans over the last few years, the controversy over the hiring and firing of civil service employees is one of the oldest controversies of the republic. As Rating America’s Presidents explains, Andrew Jackson was elected president in 1828 on promises to end the hegemony of a privileged aristocracy, and, to drain that swamp, he would need his own men in key positions. He removed a large number of civil service employees and replaced them with men of his own faction, which came to be known as the Democracy, or Democratic Party. This came to be known as the spoils system, after the old adage “To the victor belong the spoils.”

JANUARY 6

Kelly: Will the Next J6 Trial Expose Another Justice Department Lie?

Lies related to the whereabouts of Vice President Kamala Harris and former Vice President Mike Pence on January 6 are coming to the fore. Federal prosecutors last week scored a big victory after a Washington, D.C., jury took less than three hours to find Guy Reffitt, the first January 6 defendant to stand trial, guilty on all counts. The Justice Department’s winning streak might be short-lived, however. Prosecutors will have a tougher task with the trial starting Monday for Couy Griffin, the “Cowboys for Trump” leader arrested for his minor and nonviolent involvement in the Capitol protest on January 6.
Griffin was the subject of my very first article over a year ago on the Justice Department’s abusive prosecution of January 6 protesters in which, coincidentally, I asked the rhetorical question, “Where is the outrage over America’s political prisoners?” as official Washington was in a tizzy over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s imprisonment of his country’s star dissident. […] . . .  “there is no doubt in my mind, in fact, in anyone’s mind, that there was a person protected by the Secret Service who was in that building, which is the Vice President of the United States of America.” Those words might come back to bite the good judge. The whereabouts of both Kamala Harris and Mike Pence are the basis for thousands of criminal charges related to January 6, including the two charges against Griffin.

GOP

Kredo: GOP Moves To Bar Biden Admin From Lifting Iran Sanctions That Would Expand Russia’s War Machine
Senate Republicans are moving to bar the Biden administration from lifting sanctions on Iran that will allow Russia and China to build out portions of Tehran’s civilian nuclear program, according to a copy of legislation obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon. The bill, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and cosponsored by 12 other Republicans, comes one day after the Free Beacon reported that Russia’s state-controlled energy firm, Rosatom, is poised to cash in on a $10 billion contract to build out Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant. Moscow will be permitted to make good on the contract after the Biden administration waives sanctions prohibiting this work as part of the soon-to-be-announced nuclear agreement, which was primarily negotiated by Russia and China.

Catenacci: Republicans Probe Putin’s Alleged Effort To ‘Undermine American Energy Security’ By Funding US Green Groups
Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee announced a probe into several green energy groups reported to have taken money from an allegedly Russian-funded foundation seeking to undermine U.S. energy security. The GOP committee members wrote to three groups Thursday — the League of Conservation Voters, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Sierra Club — demanding more information about their financial ties to the California-based Sea Change Foundation. The Republicans cited reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has funneled money through Sea Change to the environmental groups, according to the letters sent to the groups’ leaders.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN

The Right Scoop: Josh Hawley says he’s uncovered an ALARMING pattern with Biden’s SCOTUS nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson
Senator Josh Hawley tweeted tonight that he’s found an alarming pattern in the opinions, advocacy and judicial decisions when it comes to sex offenders and those preying on children. Hawley says he’s seeing a “pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes.” He also notes that she’s advocated for getting rid of “existing mandatory minimum sentences for child porn” and says she’s argued that some people found with child porn are NOT pedophiles, that they are only in it for the collection or are “looking to find status in their participation in the community.”

TRANSHUMANISM: THE NEW GODLESS RELIGION

War Room: Joe Allen: The First Wave of Personal Home Robots
“Transhumanist thinkers have long awaited a moment like this where the normalization of social robots means that not only do you have human beings kind of coupling their personalities and forming relationships with machines, but you have machines that are constantly watching and observing their human companions, and as they’re observing they’re learning, and as the individual robot is sending that data back to a date center, that data center is learning from all the human beings to which it is connected.”

COVID THERAPUETIC: IVERMECTIN

Sexton: New Hampshire House approves bill to allow pharmacists to dispense ivermectin for COVID-19
The controversial debate over treating COVID-19 with the drug ivermectin made it to the floor of the New Hampshire House on Wednesday, with the Republican majority voting to make it easier to obtain the drug at pharmacies. On a 183-159 vote, the House approved legislation allowing pharmacists to make ivermectin available via standing order. “A standing order is a prescriptive protocol written by a physician or nurse practitioner that allows a pharmacist to dispense a medication without an individual prescription,” said state Rep. Leah Cushman, R-Weare.

FAUCI’S VIRUS: IT’S POLITICAL

Winters: Biden’s New COVID Coordinator Wants Vaccine Passports, Claims ‘We Aren’t Anywhere Near the End of This Pandemic’.
Dr. Jha, who will be replacing Jeff Zients and his deputy Natalie Quillian next month, is the current Dean of Brown University’s School of Public Health who has also praised Anthony Fauci as his personal “role model.” A frequent guest on mainstream media programming, Dr. Jha has routinely used his platform to demand the introduction of vaccine mandates and vaccine passports in America, while insisting “we are not anywhere near the end of this pandemic” in a February 2022 interview. In an April 28th, 2021 op-ed for The Economist, Dr. Jha outlined his “case for vaccine certificates to beat COVID-19.”
“Vaccine certificates are needed so everyone’s full participation in society can be restored,” he summarized while insisting criticism that the policy represents an “infringement on personal freedom” as “nonsense.”

Stieber: CDC Warns Agency Would Lose Access to Key Data If Emergency Declaration Ends
“CDC has no general statutory authority to direct what and how public health data are reported. Data authorities related to COVID-19 test results and hospitalizations are available now because of a public health emergency declaration. When that declaration lapses, so do the federal legal authorities to require the reporting of this important information,” a CDC spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY

Bergman: The US Must Reestablish Deterrence
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has proven, sadly, that US deterrence lies in tatters. […] The complacency with which the Biden administration has come to view military threats, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as a thing of the past has led to a misguided prioritization of issues such as climate change as the biggest threat facing the US. This misguided focus has come at the expense of a realistic definition of what the US’s vital national interests are and should be in the face of actual national security threats. […]  Rebuilding deterrence will require a massive political and military recommitment to vital national interests. Those will require a policy reorientation that acknowledges that the US is the primary Western force in a world with global military threats from a variety of bad actors — China, Russia, Iran and North Korea primary among them.

Zubatov: Blame Putin, Yes, But Also Blame Biden
As Ukraine coverage blankets the news nonstop, I keep asking myself: are we really so gullible as to be hoodwinked by an administration and political class covering for their massive failures at home and abroad by mustering up a frenzy of dangerously jingoistic militarism? Not only have they escalated the situation and brought us to the brink of World War III but they have also imposed—and will continue to impose—senseless costs on an American economy already grinding to a halt. I am not suggesting that any of Joe Biden’s major missteps, whether now or in the past, in any way excuse Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine invasion, which is in violation of international law and being conducted with reckless indifference to—indeed, the direct intent to inflict—civilian casualties. Although there is no question (details below) that Biden majorly provoked Putin, nothing Biden did stripped Putin of his agency in doing what he is now doing, much less did it demand he do it in the manner in which he is doing it.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA

Morrison: In Its First Year, Biden’s HHS Relentlessly Attacked Christians And Unborn Babies
March 18 marks one year since pro-abortion radical Xavier Becerra was confirmed as President Joe Biden’s appointee for secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Although both men claim to be faithful Catholics, they have launched unprecedented attacks on people of faith by eliminating vital conscience and religious freedom protections and funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to the abortion industry. At the HHS Accountability Project at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., we have been keeping tabs on HHS personnel and policy. The oft-heard maxim “personnel is policy” is no exception for HHS, the largest federal agency by budget. While Becerra was AWOL on the Covid fight, he was outright zealous on culture war issues, leading HHS’s singular focus on pushing pro-abortion and anti-religion policies on the American people. Here are the top 10 lowlights for year one.
1.Dismantling HHS’s Conscience and Religious Freedom Division  One of Becerra’s early acts as secretary was to strip the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division within the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of its independent ability to investigate violations of conscience and religious freedom laws. The division was created during the Trump administration to guarantee enforcement rather than neglect of laws that protect these fundamental and inalienable rights. […]  These developments were foreshadowed by transgender activist Dr. Rachel Levine who, prior to being elevated to the number-three position at HHS, proclaimed the division should be “either disbanded or certainly redirected.” 2. Removing OCR’s First Amendment Enforcement Power

Russell: Joe Biden’s ‘Transition Away From the Oil Industry’ Is Strangling America’s Economy
The root causes of the economic upheaval most Americans are experiencing right now are the subject of much discussion lately. Is it the Russia-Ukraine conflict? Is it Biden’s closing of the Keystone XL pipeline? Is it the absurd energy policies of the EU? Certainly there is plenty of blame to go around, but the reality is that all of this started in October of 2020. Back then, Trump and Biden were going head to head in debates leading up to the November election. Biden famously stated “I would transition away from the oil industry.”  That statement was a clear signal to energy producers in this country that Biden’s eventual ascent to the presidency would bring unprecedented uncertainty for at least the next four years. Never willing to let a crisis go to waste, the Biden administration went straight to work dismantling the future of our oil and gas refining capacity. His statement in October of 2020 made it clear that his administration would use the massive increase in government control precipitated by the pandemic to massively curtail energy production not in the distant future, but here and now.

Greenwald: The NYT Now Admits the Biden Laptop — Falsely Called “Russian Disinformation” — is Authentic
One of the most successful disinformation campaigns in modern American electoral history occurred in the weeks prior to the 2020 presidential election. On October 14, 2020 — less than three weeks before Americans were set to vote — the nation’s oldest newspaper, The New York Post, began publishing a series of reports about the business dealings of the Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in countries in which Biden, as Vice President, wielded considerable influence (including Ukraine and China) and would again if elected president. The backlash against this reporting was immediate and intense, leading to suppression of the story by U.S. corporate media outlets and censorship of the story by leading Silicon Valley monopolies. The disinformation campaign against this reporting was led by the CIA’s all-but-official spokesperson Natasha Bertrand (then of Politico, now with CNN), whose article on October 19 appeared under this headline: “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the same sicko, Senator Contreras, argued that his four foster children should have been aborted. […]  After Lauren Snyder gave public comment in favor of SB2316, which will ease restrictions on gun owners, Contreras berated her for holding fears that she may be assaulted or abused again.

Greenfield: Man Breaks Glass Ceiling by Winning NCAA Women’s Swimming Championship
“Amid protests, Penn swimmer Lia Thomas becomes first known transgender athlete to win Division I national championship,” ESPN breathlessly reports. As if a man beating women in a sport where physical strength and endurance are key is some sort of glass ceiling being broken. Supporters of female athletes fume, but carefully avoid touching the third rail by insisting on calling him “her” and referring to Mr. Thomas as “Lia” instead of as Will Thomas. Take this extensive editorial in Swimming World News which fumes at the outcome and calls it a joke, but also keeps calling Will Thomas “her” and “Lia”.
