The politicized indictment of former President Donald Trump was the latest in a years-long effort to target him that began with the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign’s fabricated Russia collusion plot in 2016.

But it isn’t the only legal case Trump is dealing with. There are at least three additional ongoing investigations that could result in further indictments.Continue Reading

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) failed in spectacular and sudden fashion on March 10, becoming the second-largest bank to do so in our nation’s history and triggering panic in our banking system in the process.

Although virtually everyone knows of SVB’s failure, not everyone understands exactly why it failed. Many have blamed SVB’s environmental, social, and governance policies or “stakeholder capitalism“ for the sudden collapse, but these are really just symptoms of the bank’s ongoing financial mismanagement in the face of catastrophic rate hikes rather than the underlying cause of its downfall.

SVB’s failure also highlights the immense risks facing our banking system, and the Biden administration, Congress, and the Federal Reserve share much of the blame.Continue Reading

Recent reports from major media organizations claim that new evidence points to raccoon dogs at the Wuhan Seafood Market as the origin of COVID-19. The story was first reported by The Atlantic, which claimed that the raccoon dog discovery was “the strongest evidence yet that an animal started the pandemic.” The New York Times scrambled to put out a same-day story of their own, titled “New Data Links Pandemic’s Origins to Raccoon Dogs at Wuhan Market.”

Science Magazine, the media outlet that helped Dr. Anthony Fauci seed the natural origin narrative for COVID-19’s emergence, also put out an urgent same-day news story, claiming that “Unearthed genetic sequences from China market may point to animal origin of COVID-19.”Continue Reading

A recent assessment from the U.S. Energy Department found that the COVID-19 virus likely emerged from a Chinese laboratory. News of this development has caused major media organizations to sharply pivot in their coverage of the origin of the pandemic.

Previously, any information about a lab origin was rigorously avoided, but now corporate media organizations are reporting on the likelihood of a lab origin as if their suppression of the evidence over the past three years had never happened.Continue Reading

The old adage that “you can’t fool all of the people all of the time” has been bolstered by a recent poll. Despite Dr. Anthony Fauci’s best efforts, 66 percent of Americans now lean toward a lab origin of the COVID-19 virus. A whopping 86 percent of Republicans believe that the pandemic started in a Chinese laboratory and even a majority (54 percent) of Democrats agree.

Notwithstanding Fauci’s campaign against the lab leak theory and the attendant media blackout on the issue, the overwhelming evidence pointing to a lab leak has been apparent for some time. The fact that a highly unusual coronavirus with engineered-looking features appeared on the doorstep of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the world’s premier laboratory for coronavirus engineering, has always been a dead giveaway.Continue Reading

OpenAI is a research organization founded by Elon Musk and Sam Altman in 2015 as a challenger to Google. The original mission of the venture was to create artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity as a whole.

The most notable part of OpenAI is a function called Chat GPT. It’s a chat room like you’ve never seen before. Within a few days of launching, it hit one million users despite a total media blackout and zero publicity.

It now has over 100 million sign-ups. But there’s another, darker side to ChatGPT that has become increasingly obvious to those who have been studying ChatGPT. It’s the notable use of intentional misinformation and a not-so-subtle left-leaning political bias that is built into the system.Continue Reading

Late on Dec. 2, Elon Musk started the process of releasing thousands of internal Twitter emails.

Musk, whose purchase of Twitter was completed on Oct. 28, had previously announced that the actions of Twitter’s previous leadership had negatively affected “conservative” political candidates more than “progressive” candidates and that Twitter would release its internal documents to allow the public to regain trust in the company. On Nov. 28, Musk wrote on Twitter, “The public deserves to know what really happened.”Continue Reading

New details have emerged about a teleconference convened by Dr. Anthony Fauci on Feb. 1, 2020, when he and a small group of scientists discussed the likelihood that the COVID-19 virus had leaked from a lab.

While the basic outlines of the teleconference became known last year when a batch of Fauci emails was released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), many crucial details were redacted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).Continue Reading

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) claimed at a Nov. 16 press conference that the country needs new immigrants to combat declining reproduction rates and a low population growth rate.

Schumer said his “ultimate goal” was to help not only the so-called dreamers, but to “get a path to citizenship for all 11 million, or however many” illegal immigrants who are living in the United States. This raises the question: Just how many illegal immigrants are there in the United States?

In reality, the number of illegal immigrants in this country is actually a multiple of the 11 million number that is frequently quoted by politicians.Continue Reading

This article revisits what we know specifically regarding Hunter Biden’s activities in China and Ukraine, much of which came to light through the discovery of his laptop.Continue Reading
