Mainstream news outlets IGNORE Johns Hopkins study that COVID lockdowns only reduced deaths by 0.2% | Daily Mail Online

"So why did so many American mainstream media outlets IGNORE a reputable university's study that lockdowns didn't work? 

New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC and CBS all failed to run the story because they 'have their own narrative written'

• A review by three economists found that COVID restrictions only reduced COVID mortality rates by 0.2 percent
• The study was published in the Studies in Applied Economics January 2022 edition but was largely ignored by mainstream media outlets
• It was nowhere to be found on the New York Times, Washington Post and ABC News websites 
• While some CBS and NBC affiliates reported on it, the national networks did not...Read all!

‘Someone Opened The Doors From The Inside,’ Jan. 6 Defense Attorney Says

‘Someone Opened The Doors From The Inside,’ Jan. 6 Defense Attorney Says
"...The two sets of historic doors that lead into the Rotunda were opened by someone on the inside and not his client, according to defense attorney Jonathon Moseley.
...“The outer doors cast from solid bronze would require a bazooka, an artillery shell, or C4 military-grade explosives to breach,” Moseley wrote in a letter to federal prosecutors. 

“That of course did not happen. You would sooner break into a bank vault than to break the bronze outer Columbus Doors.”
The 20,000-pound Columbus Doors that lead into the Rotunda on the east side of the U.S. Capitol are secured by magnetic locks that can only be opened from the inside by using a security code controlled by Capitol Police, Moseley wrote in an eight-page memo...Read all.

MSNBC Host Said It Is Their Job To Control What People Think

Don't Blame 'Greedy Corporations' for Inflation. Blame the Government.

Don't Blame 'Greedy Corporations' for Inflation. Blame the Government.

• "Greed is constant. If it's greed, how do we explain prices falling?"

"Inflation is the worst in 40 years.
The price of cars is up 37 percent. 

Gas is up 49 percent.

• During the last few years, as politicians spent ever more money, experts told us not to worry. Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, said inflation would be "transitory."
• Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said, "I don't anticipate inflation is going to be a problem."
• "Big corporations have taken advantage," says Rep. Ted Lieu (D–Calif.).
• Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) tweeted: "Greedy corporations are charging Americans extra." It's "price gouging."

This is nonsense.
"Greed is constant," says economist David Henderson in my new video. "If it's greed, how do we explain prices falling?" When oil prices fall, is it because "oil companies just suddenly decide, 'I'm gonna be less greedy?'"
Prices change because of supply and demand.
Inflation results "from too much money chasing too few goods," explains Henderson. 

"If government's spending more money, that's more money chasing too few goods."

Yes, at some point, you do run out of other people's money. And it HURTS the people!-----Head of Puerto Rico's financial board resigns

Head of Puerto Rico's financial board resigns
"...The plan cuts part of the debt, about $33 billion, to roughly $7 billion — significantly reducing annual repayments to bondholders who own Puerto Rico’s debt, to $1.15 billion.

...Puerto Rico’s $70 billion public debt was issued by more than a dozen local government entities and public corporations, as well as the public employee retirement system. 

The local government then declared its debt “unpayable“ in 2015 following decades of mismanagement, corruption and excessive borrowing.
...Jaresko joined the board in 2017 as Puerto Rico embarked on what has become the largest bankruptcy proceeding in U.S. history.
Since then, the financial oversight board has been in charge of overseeing all of Puerto Rico's debt renegotiations, a process that has resulted in tough austerity measures as Puerto Rico tried jump-starting its economic growth.
Jaresko previously worked for the U.S. Department of State, served as Ukraine's finance minister, and was a founding partner at the Horizon Capital private equity fund...Read all.

Early Jobs Report Data Previews the Coming Bloodbath
"...As RedState reported on Monday, Jen Psaki gave an incredibly odd and nonsensical commentary during her briefing. 

In it, she claimed that the jobs numbers were going to be skewed by people calling out sick due to Omicron.
Of course, people taking sick leave from work are not counted as job losses, and the entire thing came across as gaslighting meant to preempt a really terrible report. At the time, I speculated that we’d actually see negative jobs growth.
...That will follow on the heels of a flatlining December report in which the numbers missed by over 50% in a month where seasonal hires should have caused a sharp uptick in employment.
...the jobs numbers missed by 500,000, swinging from an expected gain of 200,000 jobs to 300,000 jobs being lost...Read all.

Leaked notes reveal extent of Biden's 'failures' on Afghanistan withdrawal, evacuating Afghans who helped America - TheBlaze

Leaked notes reveal extent of Biden's 'failures' on Afghanistan withdrawal, evacuating Afghans who helped America - TheBlaze: 

Leaked notes from a meeting held by senior Biden administration officials in the White House Situation Room the day before Kabul fell last August — in fact, as Kabul was falling — reveal the level of inadequate preparation for such an event by President Joe Biden.

The notes were first reported by Axios, which characterized them as revealing Biden's "failures" on Afghanistan.

He doesn’t even try to pretend he knows what he’s talking about because the facts don’t matter. (Click link to see short Biden video)

Black Lives Matter Suspends Online Fundraising after State AGs Threaten Legal Action | National Review

• "Black Lives Matter suspended online fundraising on Wednesday after attorneys general in California and Washington state asked the group to submit delinquent financial disclosures for 2020, according to a report.
  

...The group said at the close of 2020 that after raising $90 million, spending $8.4 million in operating expenses and distributing $21.7 million in grants to 33 other organizations, it closed the year with $60 million. 

• ...Meanwhile, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has sounded alarms over BLM’s refusal to answer basic questions about its finances and operations. “It appears that the house of cards may be falling, and this happens eventually with nearly every scam, scheme, or illegal enterprise,” the Republican attorney general told the Washington Examiner. “I see patterns that scams kind of universally take: failure to provide board members, failure to provide even executive directors, failure to make your filings available. It all leads to suspicion.”

Or we could call them what they really are, liars!-----Fact checkers defend activist scientists because they agree with them not because they are right | polarbearscience

Fact checkers defend activist scientists because they agree with them not because they are right | polarbearscience

• The so-called fact-checkers are out again trying to insist one side of a scientific debate is wrong and another is right because they happen to agree with one side. 
• That’s advocacy, not science.

Here are some facts (check the links provided for additional references):

1. Scientists in Arctic nations in the late 1960s were worried about the survival of polar bears because numbers worldwide had declined due to overhunting. They were worried enough to put together an International Treaty to protect them in 1973 (Crockford 2019).
2. In my book (Crockford 2019: 101-106), I cited a number of polar bear specialist who had made estimates of polar bear numbers in the 1960s, that included: Harington (1965, Canada), Larsen (1972, Norway), Lentfer (1965, USA), Jonkel (1969, Canada), Brooks (1965, USA), Lønø (1970, Norway), Scott (1959, USA) and Uspenski (1961, Russia). I stated my professional opinion was that a plausible global population size in the 1960s was about 10,000 (range 5,000-15,000), based on the reports and papers these eight men wrote about how they had come to their decisions, which indicated they had used the best information available at the time. Polar bear specialist Markus Dyck, who died doing polar bear research earlier this year, also used this figure of 10,000 as a reasonable estimate for the 1960s.
3. In other words, this statement by fact-checkers is a lie: “the book defends Uspenski’s 5,000 estimate, arguing that it was based on the best methods available at the time.”...Read all.
