Dr. Scarf says, prepare for surge of covid this summer "across the Southern border of the United States."

IBT (@ Archive): Another COVID-19 Surge In US Expected By Summer, Birx Says.

"We should be preparing right now for a potential surge in the summer across the southern United States because we saw it in 2020 and we saw it in 2021," Birx said in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation."
[.]
Birx forecasted the country's summer surge following her observations on South Africa, which is currently experiencing what local health officials and scientists claimed was a fifth wave of COVID-19 infections caused by omicron's BA.4 and BA.5 sub-variants.

What is she talking about? Omicron didn't lead to a spike in death rates in South Africa (Scrubs), it was less severe, even for the un-jabbed (NY Post) and Omicron variant symptoms ‘unusual but mild’, says South African doctor (NY Post).

Why would omicron increase near the southern U.S.? Does Dr. Schaf mean, like ... border states? Well, the CDC and NIH are checking everyone crossing the border to make sure they're covid-free, aren't they?

It's only the fifth wave of BA.4 and BA.5? Heck, I thought it was much worse than that. I figured we're closing in on the twentieth wave of the Almighty Deadly And Unpossible To Avoid teh Coof. So it sounds like we're doing pretty well.

Think of how much off worse everything would be if it weren't only the fifth wave.

Anyway, yeah Dr. Scarf...because she was right on so many things in the past.

Fearmongering, attempting to instill a permanent anxiety and panic attack aimed at the most vulnerable people, using anything and everything - any possible issue - is what these people are paid to do.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s clerk is Amit Jain, the individual who recently released the abortion draft.

FOX News (Archived): Liberal Alan Dershowitz appalled by the leak.

[Said Dershowitz]: "And I have a theory and it's only a theory: I think this was leaked by a liberal law clerk who is trying to change the outcome of the case – either by putting pressure on some justices to change their mind or by getting Congress to pack the court even before June, which is very unlikely."

Even The Jeff Bezos Peoples' Republic has an Op/Ed from a Bloomberg writer that the leaker should come forward (Archived): The Supreme Court Leaker Should Come Forward.

I do not, as a rule, like leakers. Leakers are liars.

Among such lying leakers I include whoever provided Politico with what is apparently a draft of a majority opinion by Justice Samuel Alito overturning the court’s almost half-century old precedent in Roe v. Wade. Whatever our views of Roe, or of the sphere of choice generally, none of us should be celebrating the leak.

The filthy, repugnant reprobate Liberal POS NY Senator Cluck Schumer, on the other hand, is inconsolable over the possibility of abortion being returned to a decision made by States, not the Federal government.

Who leaked the SCOTUS draft abortion opinion?

Reuters (Archived): U.S. Supreme Court launches probe into leak of draft abortion opinion.

U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday said the Supreme Court will investigate the leak of a draft decision indicating that a majority of the nine justices are set to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, a breach of the court's trust that he called a "betrayal."
[.]
The leak can be considered a major break from the longstanding tradition of confidentiality and trust surrounding deliberations among the justices.

Amid speculation about the source of the leak, [Chief Justice John] Roberts sought to defend the institution's structure.

Who leaked this? The clerks and/or staffers for Kagan and/or Sotomayor?

Speculation abounds.

This "leak" is an abomination, an unprecedented attack, on what is supposed to be the most non-politicized branch of our government.

Liberal Fragility: Pillow Man Mike Lindell sure scares the liberals. He returns to Twitter only to be banned again.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced on Sunday that he was back on Twitter being permanently banned in 2021 for allegedly spreading conspiracy theories about voting machines being fixed to sway the 2020 presidential election in President Joe Biden's favor.

"Hello everybody, I'M BACK ON TWITTER. My only account is @MikeJLindell! Please RT and FOLLOW to SPREAD THE WORD," Lindell said on Twitter Sunday afternoon.

Pelosi, Schiff and other dems make surprise visit to Ukraine.

CBS News: Pelosi meets with Zelenskyy in Kyiv, vowing U.S. support for Ukraine.

A U.S. congressional delegation led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi praised the courage of the Ukrainian people in remarks during a visit to Poland on Sunday, a day after a surprise trip to Kyiv to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
[.]
Pelosi and a half-dozen U.S. lawmakers met for three hours late Saturday with Zelenskyy and his top aides to get a first-hand assessment of the war effort to date.
[.]
"This is a time we stand up for democracy or we allow autocracy to rule the day," said Rep. Gregory Meeks, a Democrat from New York.

"This is a struggle of freedom against tyranny," said Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California. "And in that struggle, Ukraine is on the front lines."

Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, a veteran and a member of the House intelligence and armed services committee, said he came to Ukraine with three areas of focus: "Weapons, weapons and weapons."

"We have to make sure the Ukrainians have what they need to win. What we have seen in the last two months is their ferocity, their intense pride, their ability to fight and their ability to win if they have the support to do so."

They all should stay there and fight then, if they believe this is so integral to U.S. interests. It's not though, dems are beating the war drums, setting up what I believe will eventually be U.S. Soldiers on the ground in Ukraine.

This entire conflict is about one thing: protecting the Ukraine gravy train that feeds the Bidens, the Pelosis (her son Paul), the (John) Kerrys and the Romneys. They're all on the Ukraine payroll.

Dems complained and fought the price of Trump's border wall but there's no limit to the financial and military aid we can provide to Ukraine? What a crock.

Recommended reading from 2015: The Guardian - Welcome to Ukraine, the most corrupt nation in Europe.

Since 1991, officials, members of parliament and businessmen have created complex and highly lucrative schemes to plunder the state budget. The theft has crippled Ukraine. The economy was as large as Poland’s at independence, now it is a third of the size. Ordinary Ukrainians have seen their living standards stagnate, while a handful of oligarchs have become billionaires. 

Does the above sound like a blueprint for what the U.S. is now experiencing?

Andrew Fahie, British Virgin Islands premier, arrested on cocaine-smuggling and money-laundering charges.

Politico: British Virgin Islands premier, arrested on cocaine-smuggling and money-laundering charges.

British Virgin Islands’ Premier Andrew Fahie was arrested Thursday on charges of conspiring to import cocaine and money laundering after a successful sting operation led by U.S. authorities.

Fahie, the elected head of government in the British overseas territory, was detained in Miami after agreeing to give agents posing as drug smugglers access to British Virgin Islands’ ports in exchange for $700,000 (€663,000).

Responding to the arrest, U.K. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she was “appalled by these serious allegations.”
[.]
The British Virgin Islands government was already under investigation by the British government for organized crime, corruption, misuse of public funds and cronyism. In 2021, the U.K. set up a commission of inquiry into the allegations of misgovernance.
[.]
At the time, Fahie denied government involvement in such activities, telling POLITICO they were “irresponsible.” “The inquiry has consumed the entire public service,” he added. “And so far, it has shown no proof of corruption in the BVI.”

Considering the decades Ozzy spent partaking of substances and other health obstacles he's overcome, does anyone really think covid stands a chance against him?

Kate Bedingfield, White House comms director, fully vaxxed and boosted, has Covid!

Washington Examiner: White House comms director tests positive for COVID-19 day before correspondents' dinner. 

White House communications director Kate Bedingfield announced Friday morning that she has tested positive for COVID-19.

Bedingfield's test occurred just one day before the White House Correspondents' Dinner and comes as the administration is grappling with an extended wave of infections, even as President Joe Biden himself seeks to turn the page on the pandemic.

Bedingfield is fully vaccinated and boosted but reported to be suffering mild symptoms. She is not considered a close contact of the president.

"I last saw the President Wednesday in a socially-distanced meeting while wearing an N-95 mask, and he is not considered a close contact as defined by the CDC," she wrote in her statement. "In alignment with White House COVID-19 protocols, I will work from home and plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of a five-day isolation period and a negative test."

Biden tells teachers that kids, "are yours when they are in the classroom."

Washington Times: Biden tells teachers that kids are "like yours when they are in the classroom."

President Biden reignited the culture war between parents and woke school curriculums Wednesday after telling teachers that children belong to them when they’re in the classroom.

“They’re all our children,” Mr. Biden said at a White House event honoring the teacher of the year. “They are not somebody else’s children. They’re like yours when they’re in the classroom.”
[.]
Mr. Biden also blasted Republican legislators who have launched efforts to ban books that feature sexually explicit or overly politically correct curriculum.

“Today, there are too many politicians trying to score political points banning books, even math books,” the president said. “Did you ever think when you’d be teaching you’re going to be worried about book burnings and banning books all because it doesn’t fit somebody’s political agenda?”

Mr. Biden later added that people need to stop making teachers “the target of culture wars.”

No one is burning class books, DiaperMan. Books aren't being banned because of political agendas. Some classbooks for CHILDREN are being rejected because normal people and parents are against the sexualization of their children.

Pedodent Biden, sniffer of children's hair and infamous child-groper, simply wants to excuse the behavior of grooming teachers with a subversive sexual agenda that seeks to indoctrinate children. The teachers union is the root of this agenda.

Another rare virus puzzle. It's a PHENOMENON! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

The Jeff Bezos Peoples' Republic via Yahoo Archived: Another rare virus puzzle: They got sick, got treated, got covid again.

Philip Bretsky, a primary care doctor in Santa Monica, Calif., said he has encountered two cases among patients, both of whom were vaccinated and boosted at least once.
[.]
Reinfection seemed improbable, and Bretsky thought resistance was unlikely with a five-day course of treatment.

In well-vaccinated people, being reinfected so quickly would be "like getting struck by lightning or winning the lottery," Bretsky said. "I don't think this is reinfection. I think this is recrudescence of the original infection."

Experts don't know how common this phenomenon is. Many people may not test if they get sick again after their initial infection has receded, making it hard to track.

Oh nooooooez!!!! It's no longer a "breakthrough" case of reinfection. Now...it's a phenomenon. 🤣🤣

Biden’s net approval rating fell by 38 points among independents in Michigan, along with 33-point declines with the group in Georgia and Minnesota.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' chief of staff is leaving the administration and will be replaced by top adviser Lorraine Voles, Harris said on Thursday, the latest shake-up in the vice president's office.

The departure of Tina Flournoy comes less than a month after Harris announced that her deputy chief of staff would leave in May.

"Tina has been a valued advisor and confidant to me and tremendous leader for the office," Harris said in a written statement announcing the change. "Tina is the consummate public servant and I will continue to rely on her advice, counsel and friendship."

Voles, who previously served as Vice President Al Gore's communications director and as an advisor to Hillary Clinton, was hired by Harris last summer.

Flournoy's exit marks the latest from Harris's team. On March 21, Harris's National Security Adviser Nancy McEldowney said she is stepping down from her role. The White House said she will be succeeded by her deputy, Philip Gordon.

Harris's communications team, which had a turbulent first year marked by several messaging failures, has also had several high profile departures.

The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, came in a case brought in Florida federal court by Health Freedom Defense Fund, Inc. and frequent air travelers Ana Daza and Sarah Pope against the administration. Judge Mizelle determined that the mandate violated the Administrative Procedure Act by being outside the scope of the CDC's authority, was "arbitrary" and "capricious" and not going through the required notice and comment period for federal rulemaking.
