Anthony Fauci, Our Own Wizard of Oz

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 8/2/2026 5:30:02 AM

This week, the Senate Homeland Security Committee subpoenaed Dr. Anthony Fauci to testify. The committee secured extensive daily logs he had prepared while at NIH heading up the COVID-19 response. (The committee still lacks almost 700 pages of these logs, all of which had been secreted on 11 different government servers until retrieved by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.) The contrast between what he wrote in his hidden logs and his public statements was extreme. To take but one example, he admits in the log that the six-foot distancing rule was just something made up.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. or Pay no attention to what I wrote in my diary. I think Toto revealing the former is apt. Us non-scientists who looked things up on the internet were more accurate, helpful, and correct than Dr. Science.

Must read. This article hit Fauci and even Brix actions out of the ballpark. I stand firm that Fauci needs to be in jail for his actions in AIDS and COVID. He also should be sued into poverty. My bet, he made millions on medications that he was pushing. FBI needs to look into his political actions behind his so call science. Brix own some of this also. She is not innocent.

Things that would have helped: Blocking access to heq [hydroxychloroquine] and ivm [ivermectin]. Removing NAC [N-acetyl cysteine] from the shelves. Things that did damage: Respirators that kill 90% of patients. Masks that reduce oxygen. Remdesivir and Paxlovid that are expensive, useless, and deadly. The most toxic and deadly vaccines in history on a new platform that will never work.

President Donald Trump in a Saturday evening social media post claimed that Mideast allies have reached the parameters of a deal to end the Iran war and said that he would hold off on ordering new strikes in the five-month old conflict for now. Trump added that the emerging deal “would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.” “Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL,” Trump said.

U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick wants to bar anyone who refuses to testify before Congress from working for the government. The Georgia Republican said the appearance of Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, led him to revive the bill, which he first introduced in 2024. Fauci appeared before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and said he would invoke his Fifth Amendment right to protect against self-incrimination. The committee subpoenaed Fauci – given "full and unconditional" pardon with no investigations happening by then-

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) pointed to weaknesses in President Trump’s influence in Congress amid opposition from three outgoing Republican senators to the president’s nomination of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to a permanent role overseeing the Department of Justice (DOJ). Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.), Bill Cassidy (La.) and John Cornyn (Texas) have all expressed skepticism about Blanche’s nomination amid questions about the status of a controversial “anti-weaponization fund” created under his watch.

National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya said the Trump administration’s newly announced ban on federally funded gain-of-function research represents a significant shift in federal biomedical policy, adding that the agency is committed to greater transparency, open scientific debate and a new approach to pandemic preparedness. Speaking in an interview Thursday with the Just the News, No Noise TV program, Bhattacharya called the new approach “an absolutely vital policy.” “The United States will never again support research that has a chance of causing catastrophic human harm,” he said. “We’ve been working for a year and a half on getting the details right,

They're having quite a battle for the Democratic nomination in the Senate race in Michigan. The far-leftists are all in for former Wayne County health department director Abdul El-Sayed, while the more establishment Democrats are backing Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11). Neither of them is good, as their recent debate showed. As we reported, El-Sayed has the lead in the polls. However, the polls also indicate that the Republican candidate, former Rep. Mike Rogers, would do better against him. However, El-Sayed has been acting like he has the nomination in a walk. And he went after AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), daring them to "come for me."

Almost immediately after tens of thousands of Africans invaded the Spanish city of Ceuta, all hell broke loose, with chaos flooding the streets. As The Gateway Pundit reported, European leaders are panicking over the chaos, with Spain’s Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez declaring that Spain is “under attack” after more than 50,000 Africans poured across the small city’s border. The world is finally getting a wake-up call– years after watching tens of millions of violent criminals flood the United States to rape and pillage our country. Video from the invasion on Thursday shows the thousands of military-aged African migrants, all men, pouring across the wide-open border.

Sometimes a story gets buried not because editors conspire against it, but because the news cycle has room for only one crisis at a time. This year the big news has been the Iran war. But even accounting for competing headlines, the silence around a genuinely consequential development is telling. And that is the story of India’s explicit rejection of the global net zero movement. India has walked away from its bid to host the COP33 UN climate conference, and the world’s climate press has treated it as a footnote rather than the signal it is. India had spent years projecting a rising voice in the development of climate policy,

Tens of thousands of migrants, mostly young men, descended on Ceuta on Thursday, with shocking video showing people walking, swimming and scrambling over barriers into Spanish territory as Moroccan border guards appeared unable to stop them On Friday it was estimated that up to 60,000 Moroccans had arrived in Ceuta in the past 24 hours, encouraged by a ruling from Spain’s supreme court that those who swam into the city could not immediately be turned back. … Groups of young men were seen wandering the territory’s streets, looking for food and water. The beaches were covered in floats, rubber rings and discarded clothing.

You know that feeling that parents get when their kids are in another part of the house "playing" and are being entirely too quiet? There's always some sort of calamity or destruction awaiting discovery by mom or dad. That's the feeling Virginia conservatives have had after Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger's first six calamitous months in office. She's been staying suspiciously under the radar of late after getting the judicial smackdown on her attempts to gerrymander the congressional map and outlaw the sale of "automatic weapons" and high-capacity magazines. Sure, she's been on social media patting herself on the back and taking credit for things that —

Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente fueled online claims blaming Israel for Spain’s migrant crisis in the North African enclave of Ceuta on Friday after Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon criticized Madrid’s handling of the border emergency, escalating an already tense diplomatic dispute between Jerusalem and Spain. The exchange followed Danon’s criticism of Spain after Madrid declared a state of emergency and deployed military forces to Ceuta following an unprecedented surge of migrants crossing into the Spanish enclave from neighboring Morocco. Puente’s cryptic response helped fuel conspiracy theories circulating on Spanish social media alleging Israel — and in some cases the United States — was behind the crisis.

Spain’s border is being overrun by migrants, and it is a dramatic reminder of how things could be again in the United States. On Thursday, dramatic images and videos began to emerge from the city of Ceuta, which sits on the Moroccan border. Thousands of young men could be seen crowding beaches, pushing through gates, whooping and hollering in excitement as they made their way into Spain. Here are a few dramatic examples posted on social media. The number of migrants pouring into Ceuta really is astounding. The seaside town is home to about 80,000 people. Nearly that many appeared to have poured in over the last few days.

Call it pleading the thrift. Hunter Biden claimed under oath earlier this year that he's so broke he doesn't even own a car or a cellphone, and said his family is too strapped for cash to help him pay off millions in unpaid legal bills. The former first son painted a bleak picture of his own and of Biden family finances during a Feb. 9 deposition in his legal battle with powerhouse law firm Winston Taylor, which sued Biden in June 2025 for allegedly stiffing the firm out of $17 million accrued from representing Biden in federal criminal cases, congressional investigations, and defamation lawsuits Biden brought against his enemies.

A man who spent years trading on his father's name, collecting millions from foreign business deals, selling paintings to anonymous buyers, and leaning on a Hollywood fixer to cover his bills, now claims he cannot afford a car or a cell phone. Hunter Biden testified under oath that he owns no stocks, bonds, or savings account. His paintings, he said, are the only things he has left that might be worth anything. The admissions came during a Feb. 9 deposition in Hunter Biden’s legal battle with Winston Taylor, formerly Winston & Strawn. His attorneys released the transcript while fighting the firm’s demand for communications involving people who may have been asked

Seattle being Seattle, it was only a matter of time before a simple show of support for biological reality in women's sports sparked backlash. On Tuesday night, before the Indiana Fever faced the Seattle Storm, dozens rallied outside Climate Pledge Arena in support of Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. She had recently spoken out in favor of keeping men's sports separate from women's, a view rooted in basic biology and fairness. The fans carried signs and wore shirts affirming that stance. Inside the arena, two 16-year-old girls holding signs that read "Thank you Sophie for speaking up for girls" found themselves targeted.

Angel Sarah Rampersad at the fallen soldier’s Queens funeral Friday — and the embarrassing scene unfolded in real time as he fumed while waiting in vain to give his speech, sources revealed. Mamdani, who was relegated to the fourth row in the Ozone Park church, appeared to be reviewing his planned remarks on an iPad while Gov. Kathy Hochul and other dignitaries, including Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, were called to speak, a source in attendance said. “They kept calling names and then he was never called,” the source said.

The Western world has spent decades being lectured about the glorious wonders and magic of mass migration.“Diversity is our strength” became the left’s go-to slogan that they used to shut down any legit questions about borders, assimilation, crime, social factors, and whether millions of people from radically different Muslim cultures could actually live in harmony with the Western world.Now, after so many disasters, soaring crime, and filth and decay, many people are now realizing the very hard way that it was never that simple, and that slogan has been a death sentence for the West.)snip)appreciating other cultures doesn’t mean we all sit here pretending we’re compatible.

In less than three weeks, more than 62,000 people have signed the Change.org petition demanding Hizzoner skip the solemn event. The mayor’s past remarks and associations with people openly hostile to the U.S. or scornful of the worst terror attack in American history has made his planned attendance a lightning rod for criticism, but he’s so far brushed off the growing chorus and pledges to be there.The petition lists many reasons for wanting to exclude Mamdani,
