Monster Bird Flu Update: Unprecedented
Mammal-to-Mammal Transmission Confirmed
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/18/2025 11:42:12 AM
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

President Donald Trump has denied a New York Times report that his close ally, billionaire Elon Musk, is due to be briefed by the Pentagon about the US military's plan for any war that might break out with China.
"China will not even be mentioned or discussed," Trump said in a post about the Pentagon meeting on Truth Social on Thursday.
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said in a post on X that the meeting would be "about innovation, efficiencies & smarter production".
A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the briefing for Musk would be attended by senior US military officials in the Pentagon and
One of the busiest airports in the world will be closed all day Friday after a fire caused a power outage.
London Heathrow Airport (LHR) said it is "experiencing a significant power outage" after an electrical substation that supplies the airport caught on fire. "To maintain the safety of our passengers and colleagues, Heathrow will be closed until 23h59 on 21 March," England's premier airport posted on X. Passengers have been told to avoid the airport and to contact their individual airline for further details on new flight times.
"We apologise for the inconvenience," Heathrow Airport wrote.
If you tuned into CNN and/or MSNBC on Thursday morning, the message was clear based on their coverage of supposed “anger” at congressional Republicans over the Trump agenda and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and hits from the left at Democratic town halls: Blue wave incoming! Nevermind these protests at GOP town halls — including one Wednesday night they were warm and fuzzy inside over out in Wyoming for Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R) — have been stacked with the bluest of blue partisans and organized by far-left groups
We haven't heard a whole lot from former Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) since she left office at the end of the 118th Congress (having been defeated in the Democratic primary last August by former St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell). But that doesn't mean all's been quiet in her world.
In fact, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Thursday that her husband, Cortney Merritts, has been indicted for allegedly committing COVID fraud. In a press release regarding the indictment, the DOJ stated:
WASHINGTON – Cortney Merritts, 46, of St. Louis, Missouri, was charged today by federal indictment with two counts of wire fraud for allegedly filing fraudulent
President Donald Trump has agreed to rescind an executive order that suspended security clearances for lawyers and staff at the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, according to a statement he posted to Truth Social on Thursday.
The New York-based firm has agreed to dedicate the equivalent of $40 million in pro bono legal services over the course of Trump’s term “to support the Administration’s initiatives,” the statement said. The firm has also agreed to audit its employment practices and pledged to not “adopt, use, or pursue” diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
The statement notes that Trump agreed to the deal following a meeting with the firm’s chairman Brad Karp
“All the world’s a stage, and the men and women merely players,” wrote William Shakespeare in “As You Like It.” It’s a simple, straightforward metaphor: In the game of life, everyone has a part to play.
Furthermore, all the parts matter. Like your third-grade teacher told you (after giving you the smallest, lousiest part in the school play), “There are no small roles, only small actors. Go stand in the background and pretend to be a tree, or something.”
The metaphor actually works better with political parties than in the outside world, because political parties are closed ecosystems. In partisan politics, the “players” have clearly defined roles;

President Trump’s move against Voice of America, the executive branch agency that oversees it, and other U.S. international broadcasters and grantee media is an understandable reaction to decades of managerial lapses and an organizational structure that has remained immune to accountability and oversight for too long.
On Friday night, Trump signed an order reducing the functions of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) to only those required by statute. His administration also moved to cut grants extended to Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty — nonprofit organizations that receive all their funding from USAGM — and suspend the full-time staff of VOA, which is a federal entity.
By now, everybody has heard of the AWFLs--affluent white female liberals--and knows that their political views diverger dramatically from those of white men and the population as a whole.
But I am not quite sure that we yet grasp how awful this group really is, and how out of touch from reality they appear to be.
Being affluent, they are insulated from most of the ills that trouble less well-off people in America, and they almost certainly are isolated from the crime, urban decay, inflation (it's only money...), violent protests, and most of the other practical
University of California leaders said Wednesday they are eliminating a years-old practice of requiring faculty job applicants to submit “diversity statements,” a move that comes after the Trump administration threatened to revoke federal funding from schools and universities that maintain diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
As part of job applications or promotions, many departments at UC campuses have required job seekers to submit written testimonials of one or two pages about how they have worked to enhance and support racial and other kinds of diversity in their fields. The essay requests started to appear in some UC applications in the early 2000s and gained
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Prime” that the Republican Party was “at war with the government of the people.”
Raskin said, “The Republicans are in a full-blown attack on Medicaid. They want to cut $880 billion from the Medicaid program. Elon Musk has said Social Security, of course, is the big one. That’s the big target that they’re aiming for, and they are hollowing out all kinds of federal agencies and departments that the American people depend on, like NIH, which does the cutting edge medical research. And it’s now got swept up in their whole anti-science crusade. Same thing with, you know, the FAA.
During the past presidential election season, abortion stories were a hot ticket across the network evening news. The networks did everything in their power to try to make the issue a dispositive one, in the hopes of tilting the election to Vice President Kamala Harris. With the election now behind us, abortion stories are largely out of view. But the CBS Evening News changed that, at least for tonight. Watch as CBS gives sympathetic treatment to a midwife accused of illegally performing abortions in the state of Texas: SHAMLIAN: Court documents charge that Rojas provided medication to induce an abortion
L.A.’s financial problems exploded into a full-blown crisis on Wednesday, with the city’s top budget official announcing that next year’s shortfall is now just shy of $1 billion, making layoffs “nearly inevitable.”
City Administrative Officer Matt Szabo advised the City Council to focus on cost-cutting measures, including a potential reduction in the size of the workforce, to bring the budget into balance for 2025-26.
Szabo, in his presentation to the council Wednesday, attributed the city’s financial woes, in part, to increased spending on legal payouts, which have ballooned over the last few years. Tax revenues have been coming in much weaker than expected

Former First Lady Michelle Obama donned a new hairdo during her latest podcast interview with Hollywood actor Seth Rogan.
Michelle Obama launched a new podcast with her brother, Craig Robinson, and it’s a total flop.
The new venture, the “IMO” podcast, was launched by Higher Ground, the Obamas’ media company.
The latest episode titled, “Navigating Alzheimer’s Disease with Seth and Lauren Rogan” only garnered 7,100 views in 15 hours.
A former First Lady and Hollywood actor still can’t drum up viewers. Americans are done with anti-American elitists.
Chuck Schumer Admits He Wakes Up at 3 AM Worried About Elon Musk and 'Oligarchs'
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has sparked a wave of reactions after admitting that he sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night worried about the future of the country, specifically mentioning “oligarchs” and suggesting that Elon Musk is one of his main concerns.
During a conversation addressing his anxieties over the influence of certain powerful figures in the US, Schumer stated:
Investigative journalist Bad Kitty Unleashed reported on Thursday that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is involved in a secretive, invite-only club for elite judges in Washington, DC.
The secretive club America Inns of Court also includes the radical America-hating judges James Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Amit Mehta—all hard-left judges and Trump-haters.
John Roberts has been Chief Justice of the Supreme Court since September 2005. What in the world is he doing fraternizing
A federal judge on Thursday barred DOGE from accessing social security systems.
US District Judge Ellen Hollander, an Obama appointee, said DOGE’s workers are on a “fishing expedition.”
“The DOGE Team is essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA, in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion. It has launched a search for the proverbial needle in the haystack, without any concrete knowledge that the needle is actually in the haystack,” Judge Hollander wrote.
Far-left organizations like AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Teachers and other plaintiffs sued the Social Security Administration, Elon Musk, DOGE and other Trump advisors.
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Prime” that the Republican Party was “at war with the government of the people.”

Far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) sparked yet another political uproar after making a disgusting wish concerning the wealthiest man in the world.
As The Daily Beast reported, Crockett spoke Wednesday on a livestream organized by #TeslaTakedown, which has engaged in multiple actions designed to harm the company. These actions include recently protesting outside the vehicle manufacturer’s showrooms, urging Americans to sell their Teslas and dump the company’s stock.
The group is scheduled to hold its biggest day of economic sabotage on March 29.
LOS ANGELES, California — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has received 270,000 applications from purported homeowners in the recent L.A. fires — though only abut 13,000 homes were destroyed.
A FEMA official gave the staggering figure — more than twenty times the number of eligible applicants — as concerns about fraudulent applications continue to plague the agency, more than two months after the fire. As Breitbart News has reported, many displaced residents had tried applying for FEMA relief, only to find that someone else had already applied in their name and with their address, locking them out of the system.

A married couple in Orange County, CA, were deported this week to Colombia after living in the U.S. illegally for 35 years.
After breaking into our country, Nelson Gonzalez, 59, and Gladys Gonzalez, 55, spent years trying to legalize their status. According to KTLA 5, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement explained that the couple had “exhausted all legal options to remain in the U.S. between March 2000 and August 2021.” But they still didn’t return home.
The couple has three daughters, aged 23 to 33, who were born in the U.S., which makes them legal citizens. KTLA 5 says, “They were devastated when they learned their parents had been

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump was attempting to “disappear people” with the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans from the United States to El Salvador.
McCaskill said, “Yeah, and let’s not forget there was a single judge in Texas that tried to say that Mifepristone could not be used anywhere, even in states where abortion was legal. And let’s not forget there was a single judge in Texas that struck down overtime minimum wage stuff that Biden put in place for federal contractors, one single judge. So, and here’s the thing, as you said Joe, it’s really important to remember this.
“No one tells Boston how to take care of our own,” Boston Mayor Michelle Wu declared Wednesday at her annual address in Fenway. “Not kings, and not presidents who think they are kings. Boston was born facing down bullies,” WCVB-TV reported.
Wu took direct aim at President Donald Trump and used her state of the city speech at MGM Music Hall to attack the president and to reassert her support for illegal migrants.
In another segment, Wu exclaimed, “We stand with immigrants,” repeated the line in Spanish, and then exclaimed, “Boston doesn’t back down.”
