Were they 'misled'? Or did they lead the charge against anyone who dared question the consensus? Now that the cat has come out of the bag, suddenly the New York Times feels the need to get out in front of the backlash. For years, the NYT ran story after story, scathing column after column, about anyone who dared to challenge The Science®. How dare people suggest that a novel coronavirus might have emerged from the nearby lab being run under questionable practices doing exactly the kind of research intended to produce novel coronaviruses! Those dissenters were all raaaaaacists, remember? Now, the NYT -- and not even in its own editorial voice --

We were badly lied to by the NYTs, WaPo, and the Democrat propagandists---but we were not misled, because we did not believe them. The propagandist media's self described importance does not show up in their revenue or subscriptions.

There is no past, no future. There is only the eternal present where the Party is always right. There is only one lie, that the Party could possibly be wrong. The NYT receives another George Orwell Award for doublethink in action.

If you think "the science" bureaucracy is taking a hard fall over the origins of COVID, wait until the bureaucracy supporting "Climate Change" finally unravels. It will be epic.

Unfortunately, the Left has already brainwashed millions into thinking they need their 9th shot, that a poorly worn mask will protect them, and they should stand 6 feet (not 5' 10", mind you) away from people. It's mostly in deep blue sections of the country too.

Surely, it was those bowls of soup made with whole bats in them. Because it only stands to reason a country renowned for "tofu dreg" construction processes would also have tip top laboratory protocols. Fauci's boys were wise to put their trust in those protocols.

A pair of NASA astronauts, who were stranded in space for more than nine months, returned to Earth on Tuesday, landing in the Gulf of America off Tallahassee, Florida, bringing an end to an unforeseen odyssey. Barry "Butch" Wilmore, 62, and Suni Williams, 59, returned home after a new crew replaced them and two other astronauts reached the International Space Station (ISS) over the weekend. The four-person Crew-10 carried by a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft early on Sunday met up with the ISS, where Wilmore and Williams had been living since their planned roughly week-long mission in June 2024 turned into a much longer one.

Monster Bird Flu Update: Unprecedented

We’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop for a couple of years at this point since the bird flu narrative first ramped up post-COVID. Mammal-to-mammal gain-of-function — the newfound ability to transmit between mammals — has always seemed inevitable, given that the biomedical security state is literally funding gain-of-function research on viruses in clandestine labs all over the world, fully immune from oversight. It was nearly a year ago that former CDC Director Robert Redfield predicted bioengineered bird flu that infects and transmits among humans could drop “in months.” Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) belonging to lineage 2.3.4.4b emerged in Chile in December 2022, leading to mass

WASHINGTON - The administration of President Donald Trump was consulted on Monday by Israel on its deadly strikes in Gaza, a White House spokesperson told Fox News' "Hannity" show. "The Trump administration and the White House were consulted by the Israelis on their attacks in Gaza tonight," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a Fox News interview. Palestinian medics in Gaza reported dozens of people were killed in the aftermath of a series of the most violent air attacks by Israel on the Palestinian enclave since a ceasefire was reached on January 19 between Israel and Hamas militants. A senior Hamas official said Israel had unilaterally overturned the ceasefire agreement.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is over as Israeli fighter jets began striking the Gaza Strip after Hamas refused repeated hostage deal offers, officials said. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began striking Hamas terrorist targets across Gaza "in order to achieve the war objectives set by the political leadership, including the release of all our hostages—both the living and the fallen," the office of Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a letter. "This decision comes after Hamas repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all proposals presented by U.S. President’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, as well as the mediators," the letter states.

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran that it will face "dire" consequences if Yemen's Houthis continue to attack international shipping lanes. He said the Iranian leadership would be held responsible for "every shot fired by the Houthis", which have long been backed by Tehran. The group later said it had targeted a US aircraft carrier three times in the past two days. The Houthis first tried to attack the USS Harry S Truman in the Red Sea on Sunday following deadly US strikes on Yemen. The Pentagon said it had struck 30 targets in Yemen since Saturday

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump, who has ordered the release of classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, said on Monday that his administration will make public around 80,000 pages of files related to the former president on Tuesday. "People have been waiting for decades for this," Trump told reporters during a visit to The Kennedy Center in Washington. "It's going to be very interesting." Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to present a plan to release records related to the assassinations of Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

As the COVID coverup unravels--at least for normies, it is unraveling, I and many others have been censored since 2020 for stating the obvious--the Pravda Media is looking to cover their behinds by claiming to have been "misled." We all know they were co-conspirators, of course, but they can't admit that. And they wouldn't, but for the raft of leaks from various intelligence agencies in recent weeks revealing that they all knew that the virus was engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.Raccoon dogs?

President Trump signed an executive order over the weekend gutting the federal agency that oversees the Voice of America, the news outlet that for more than 80 years broadcast news and information into countries where independent reporting is restricted or censored. Hours after Trump signed an executive order Friday directing the elimination of the US Agency for Global Media, numerous journalists, executives and staff at the organization’s Washington headquarters were notified that they were being placed on paid leave, according to National Public Radio.

As we’ve been reporting, President Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act against members of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang and promptly put over 200 of them on a plane to be taken to El Salvador. While the flight was still in the air, Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered a temporary restraining order preventing the deportation of any Venezuelans—and he also demanded that the plane turn around and return the gangsters to the U.S. (Attorney General Pam Bondi has already appealed the ruling.) The Trump administration ignored the order, however, and the gangbangers were unloaded Sunday

Elon Musk's attempt to unilaterally dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development likely violated the United States Constitution, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ordered Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to immediately give USAID employees access to their "email, payment, security notification, and all other electronic systems," and ordered a pause on any efforts to shut down USAID. Judge Chuang wrote that Musk's takeover "usurped the authority of the public's elected representatives in Congress to make decisions on whether, when, and how to eliminate a federal government agency, and of Officers of the United States duly appointed under the Constitution

Sacré bleu! Talk about a Napoleon complex. Some stories don’t require a lengthy set-up. They speak for themselves (and today, they’re parlez-vous-ing exclusively in French): France should take back the Statue of Liberty because the US no longer represents the values that led France to offer the statue, a French Euro-deputy said Sunday. "Give us back the Statue of Liberty", centre-left politician Raphael Glucksmann said at a convention of his Place Publique centre-left movement. "We're going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: 'Give us back the Statue of Liberty,'" he told cheering supporters.

A legal firm with deep ties to George and Alexander Soros’s network of left-wing nonprofits and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), is partially behind a lawsuit attempting to block President Donald Trump from deporting illegal alien gang members from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act, Breitbart News has learned. Over the weekend, the Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to begin deporting illegal alien gang members to El Salvador under a deal with President Nayib Bukele.

The Autopen is a fascinating device.

But that seems to be exactly what happened. Evidence has been emerging for a week that nearly every document Joe Biden allegedly signed after his first few days in office — every executive order, every pardon, every Congressional bill signed into law, every international treaty, every lifetime judicial nomination (including the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson) — was signed with not one, but two Autopens.
