After FDA says it can release COVID-19 vaccine data by 2097, federal judge orders all info to be shared this year - TheBlaze
After FDA says it can release COVID-19 vaccine data by 2097, federal judge orders all info to be shared this year - TheBlaze:
"No person should ever be coerced to engage in an unwanted medical procedure," he added. "And while it is bad enough the government violated this basic liberty right by mandating the Covid-19 vaccine, the government also wanted to hide the data by waiting to fully produce what it relied upon to license this product until almost every American alive today is dead. That form of governance is destructive to liberty and antithetical to the openness required in a democratic society."

"The one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot arrives this week with Americans still sharply divided over the afternoon-long episode’s significance and severity as Democrats, hemorrhaging support and facing the loss of Congress in this year's midterms, sternly present a media spectacle of public events to emphasize what they see as the threat posed to democracy by Donald Trump and his party, as represented by that day.
There is no comparable scrutiny of the nationwide summer 2020 riots over George Floyd’s murder, protests endorsed by many on the left amid a virulent pandemic -- although polling has shown that a large majority of Americans support examining the circumstances of both events.
RealClearInvestigations has developed the comparison database below allowing readers to draw their own conclusions -- including the all-but-forgotten riot in Washington on Inauguration Day 2017, as protesters challenged Trump’s election and legitimacy.
Authorities have pursued the largely Trump-supporting Capitol rioters with substantially more vigor than suspected wrongdoers in the earlier two cases, and prosecutors and judges alike have weighed Capitol riot defendants’ political views in adjudicating their cases.
Dozens of accused Capitol rioters have been held in pretrial detention for months, where they have allegedly been mistreated.

Author Claims Kyle Rittenhouse Killed Two 'Black Men' - Louder With Crowder:
The media lied a LOT about Kyle Rittenhouse. Like, A LOT a lot. If you aren't familiar with how terrible corporate media is, you would be led to believe the worst about Kyle. Our own Dave Landau will attest to that. The biggest lie is that the two people Kyle acted in self-defense against were black. It might have to do with the lie that Kyle was a white supremacist. It's remarkable how many low-information liberals actually think this. So many, that the lie got published in a book.

GM is a crappy company in every way!-----For the First Time Ever, the Best-Selling Carmaker in America Isn't an American Carmaker
For the First Time Ever, the Best-Selling Carmaker in America Isn't an American Carmaker
...This followed the Obama administration’s takeover of GM in 2009, under the guise of rescuing it from bankruptcy and saving American jobs, earning the carmaker the derisive nickname “Government Motors.”
"...Japanese automaker Toyota sold more cars in the United States than any other manufacturer, edging historical bestseller General Motors out of the top spot. This marks the first time since 1931 that GM isn’t the top-selling automaker in the states.
...Toyota’s victory over GM caps a year when the American carmaker’s sales shrank 12.9% as it sold 2.2 million vehicles in the United States. By contrast, Toyota’s sales increased 10.4% in 2021 compared to 2020, as it sold 2.3 million cars to Americans.
...Gearhead site The Truth About Cars says that GM “claimed its numbers were down due to the global semiconductor shortage that continues to disproportionally impact American automakers. While there are a few sound logistical reasons for that, the chip deficit also becomes a convenient excuse for brands that cannot seem to get their general supply chains under control. No matter how you slice it, GM looks to have screwed up managing inventory and Toyota is picking up the slack.”...Read all!!
