Fauci: 'I Didn’t Shut Down Anything'
-- 'We Wanted to Cause a Pause'

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/23/2022 9:26:27 PM

Outgoing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday on FNC’s “Your World” that he was not responsible for the COVID shutdowns. Host Neil Cavuto said, “You had said a number of times, doctor, on this show as well, that your response to COVID might not have been perfect, but it was in the times and the fast moments in which you lived and were making those decisions. So, looking back at some of those decisions, including masks – you were first opposed to them and then embraced them – the severity of the epidemic itself and completely shutting down virtually an entire

If you search the internet you will find hundreds of references in Fauci’s hundreds of TV appearances where he used the phrase ‘lock down’. He was absolutely behind this, along with Deborah Birx as a stooge. His attempt to rewrite history for those of us who were there will be met with even more derision and contempt than he’s already getting.

Fauci was just an advisor and front man for our corrupt government. They used him. He let himself be used. Not once did Fauci ever say the lockdown has gone on long enough.

I'm already too weary of Tony to get all exorcised about this. I'm less interested in seeing his feet to the fire over the authoritarian overreactions, than in seeing him tried for sponsoring and funding the gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, whether he did, in fact, authorize federal funding (which directly violated the ban that Congress had put in place a handful of years earlier), and how much return on investment he personally realized from it. (gain-of-finance research?)

Birx, in her book, wrote that she and fauci tricked President Trump with the 15 day flattening the curve stunt. She added that she and fauci plotted for ways to extend that 15 day stunt into long term status, at the very time they made the proposal to Trump.

Nobody here seems to realize...Fauci was successful. He managed to kill around 800,000 Americans by either shooting the genetic manipulator into them OR by withholding any meaningful therapeutic. In addition, he successfully planted the seeds of destruction into our nation by FORCING the genetic serum into many bloodstreams. Don't you see how the bodies are piling up around us? People are just suddenly dying...at 22. And that little monster has crippled our future by shooting up our children, clogging the girls' ovaries with lipid nanoparticles and cursing the boys with permanent heart damage so that even if these unfortunate people get together...nothing will come from it, and then they'll die early. I'd say the little monster did pretty good at achieving Klaus Schwab's goals. AND he got pretty wealthy in the bargain.

He justifies himself just like Nazi officers at Nuremberg, “I just designed the ovens.” “I made Zyclon B, but I didn’t use it.” “I was just following orders.” Hanging from a street light is too good for him.

Weasel words from the rat-faced little man. People knew from the very beginning that masks do not stop a virus, everybody except the government, which promoted Fauci's year-long "pause" to prepare for the theft of an election. We also knew that Natural Immunity is God's cure for nearly everything but that doesn't make money like the clot shots do.

Fauci may have his MD from 40 years ago but his primary job as head of the NIAID was approving grant monies to researchers, aka animal torturers. I wouldn't let Fauci give my cat a vaccination as his clinical skills are obsolete. He and Birx - yeah, they tricked a lot of people. Trump and especially Pence have some responsibility for giving any limelight to these two, but it was the governors who issued their arbitrary, unscientific and illegal shutdown orders.

DeSantis: Biden Student Loan Forgiveness
a Policy and Political 'Disaster'

Posted by Dreadnought 8/25/2022 3:45:52 PM Post Reply
Thursday, during an appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) criticized President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness proposal. The Florida governor said not only was it a policy “disaster” in that it threatened to make economic problems worse. He predicted it would be a political “disaster” because of the public’s reaction. “Oh, I thought it was terrible,” he said. “One, it’s unconstitutional, which is obviously something important. I don’t think that that’s something Biden cares about, but he doesn’t have the authority to do this. Two, you’re going to be having farmers, people that have their own small businesses, waitresses, they’re going to be on the hook
Biden's Student Loan Giveaway Is 'Unconstitutional Flimflammery' 5 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 8/25/2022 12:51:14 PM Post Reply
Ben Domenech calls it “unconstitutional flimflammery.” Sounds about right. The proper authority to forgive student loan debt is the same authority that authorized the program in the first place: the United States Congress. But Biden — like the last four presidents — is ignoring Congress because it’s too damn slow, and besides, they talk too much. This is true, but that doesn’t make it any more constitutional. “The president proposes; Congress disposes” is the old adage from my high school civics class. Biden is doing a lot of disposing of student loan debt with a fig leaf for justification.

As expected, President Joe Biden made a unilateral move Wednesday to implement a student loan forgiveness plan that “will include at least $10,000 in loan forgiveness for borrowers who make less than $125,000 annually, as well as another payment freeze for roughly four months.” While Republican members of Congress are understandably outraged, most of the ones openly speaking out against Biden’s move seem to be studiously avoiding the “i” word (impeachment) even though that is an option that should definitely be on the table considering Biden does not have the authority to carry out this plan, which does an end run around Congress and the required legislative process.

The Biden administration suffered a blow Tuesday when a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas blocked guidance from HHS that abortion services in life-threatening or health-saving situations must be provided and will be protected if those actions violate state law. U.S. District Court Judge James Wesley Hendrix (a Trump appointee) that the guidance from HHS is “unauthorized.” The Biden administration, the most pro-abortion administration in my lifetime, thought it had found a way to go around some of the restrictions on abortions that pro-life states are putting into effect after the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health ruling by the Supreme Court.

Justice Department officials assume they can't rely on what former President Donald Trump's lawyers say given Trump's volatility as a client. That's according to The New York Times, which reported that department officials had been in communication with Trump's representatives for months while trying to recover hundreds of pages of government records that were improperly moved from the White House to Mar-a-Lago after Trump left office. The report cited Justice Department officials as saying they worked under the assumption that Trump's lawyers couldn't "speak with authority" for him because he could change his mind at the drop of a hat

Many White House staffers will likely be eligible for President Biden’s newly unveiled student-loan “forgiveness” plan, which will transfer up to $10,000 in student debt from individuals making less than $125,000 to the American public. A White House report that detailed the pay of more than 470 staffers last month showed that roughly half of current White House employees make $90,000 or less per year, with the other half making more than $100,000. More than 300 staffers on the list earn less than the $125,000 threshold. It is not clear how many White House staffers have student-loan balances. One-in-five White House aides

“Freedom is on the line this November,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Tuesday night, urging Floridians to “put on the full armor of God” to fight the “destructive agenda of Joe Biden and his number one ally in Florida, Charlie Crist.” DeSantis on Tuesday night addressed a crowd of supporters in Hialeah, as he has largely focused on school board races across the state in the time leading up to the primary. DeSantis endorsed over two dozen candidates who champion his pro-parents, pro-students school agenda — something Crist adamantly stands against. However, the results show that DeSantis’s message is resonating with voters across the state,

He had campaigned on canceling up to $10,000 per borrower during the presidential race, but there was no mention of an income cap. Biden is also set to extend
