FDA executive Christopher Cole was secretly recorded by a Project Veritas undercover employee posing as his date during a series of dinner meetings
He was caught on camera dishing out his thoughts about vaccine mandates, saying he believed they would be become annual requirements
He also suggested that the Biden administration had financial incentives for pushing the vaccine, saying they're a 'recurring' source of income
During a follow-up Project Veritas interview, Cole said he'd been tricked during a 'hack job' investigation and that his comments were taken out of context
He said his office was not involved in the approval of vaccines
Project Veritas Founder James O'Keefe is now demanding the FDA answer to the allegations that its officials are motivated by the 'fountain of revenue' it receives from pharmaceutical companies
O'Keefe told Sean Hannity Wednesday night: 'There are serious ethical issues'

What the hell is going on over at DM? Executing the about-face?
[PJMedia] Two weeks ago, PJ Media covered the growing scandal of the finances of Black Lives Matter. The group had raised $90 million and spent less than $30 million on "social justice" causes. The scandal is that no one appears to be in charge of that remaining $60 million.
The Black Lives Matter board members who were supposed to be running the foundation denied they had anything to do with it. CharityWatch Executive Director Laurie Styron said that BLM was like a "giant ghost ship full of treasure drifting in the night with no captain, no discernible crew, and no clear direction."
To the rescue comes the Bill and Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... cavalry. The Washington Examiner reports that several Clinton associates have taken up key positions at BLM, including Democratic Party fixer Mark Elias. It was Elias who funneled money to fund Remington Christopher Steele’s discredited anti-Trump dossier and served as Hillary’s 2016 campaign general counsel.
Elias’s newly formed law firm is reportedly located at one of BLM’s addresses and states in its short-year 2020 Form 990 that its finances are now in the care of the Elias Law Group.
"The latest filing’s addition of partisan lawyer Marc Elias confirms the group is more political than charitable," Scott Walter, the president of the Capital Research Center, a conservative investigative nonprofit group, told the Washington Examiner. "But it also suggests that finally some left-wing heavyweights have begun to deal with the embarrassing mess made by a major activist group the institutional Left has failed to, pardon the term, police."
Indeed, as far as the $60 million is concerned, the new leadership group changed BLM’s fiscal year so that they don’t have to report their finances until May.
The new BLM filing with New Mexico also said that Minyon Moore is a "Board Member" for BLM, and BLM’s Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, filing lists her as a "Board Member" too.
Hillary Clinton’s Onward Together PAC was reportedly incorporated by Elias in April 2017, and Elias is listed as a "Governor" for the Clinton PAC in a business filing for the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs. Moore was listed as the "Director/President" at Onward Together for the fiscal years of 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Clinton posted on Facebook in May 2020 that Onward Together would "partner with" Elias’s Democracy Docket to "protect Americans’ right to vote by mail." And she posted in June 2020 that her followers should "join Onward Together and Marc Elias in the fight for voting rights by signing up for Democracy Docket."
Minyon Moore is a long-time confidante of both Bill and Hillary. That she is serving on the BLM board while Elias is responsible for the group’s accounting should raise five fire alarms about the potential corruption that could take place.

First of all I seriously doubt the Clinton operatives had 'taken up' positions. More likely they were there all along. BLM and Antifa were DNC operations all along - just like the new Klu-Klux-Klan.ind
The national organization for Black Lives Matter appears to have used an unusual accounting maneuver to further delay reporting what became of its $60 million bankroll from 2020, a move one charity watchdog called "the worst transparency issue" she has ever seen.
[NationalReview] San Francisco residents overwhelmingly voted to oust three of the city’s progressive school-board members on Tuesday. It was the culmination of a year-long effort to reform the board, which has been accused of prioritizing social-justice politics over reopening schools and managing the district’s troubled finances during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Returns started coming in around 9 p.m. in California, showing that more than 70 percent of voters supported recalling each of the three candidates: 79 percent voted to recall board member Alison Collins, 75 percent voted to recall board president Gabriela López, and 73 percent voted to recall board member Faauuga Moliga.
Moliga conceded defeat via Twitter shortly after the first returns were released. Turnout for the election was about 24 percent, with 119,718 of the 499,771 registered voters in San Francisco casting ballots, according to the Department of Elections.
In others words, those who really care really wanted them out. A warning portent for the election in November.

I guess if you step in $hit enough times on the way to work that even San Fransisco’s leftists begin to wake up to terrible politicians and terrible policies.
#3
Probably a number of lefties dumped the school board because they were dumb enough to speak the unspeakable on camera. Not because they were actually teaching the unspeakable.
#4
School board is what you run for when you are not qualified to be dog catcher. Time to shut all gummint schools education scams. If your child is worth educating, that should be done under contract by qualified people who you can sue if they do a bad job.

Actually, I believe the 'school boards' and 'trustees' jobs should be given to the people you elect to state government. That way there is direct accountability in the election. Take the teachers' union money you don't work for the parents, see you next election. Allow Bolshevism on the campuses, see you next election. No bureaucracy to hide behind.

"Education dollars" should be tied to the student. Let a million flowers bloom. Those who can't do teach. Those who can't teach administrate. All leeches sucking the life out of your kids' futures. Get your asses in gear, parents...

Yes. Her argument will be "she has a right to damage other people's lives." We may need to shoot a lot of politicians, lawyers and judges alongside ditches before that argument loses traction.

[Pirate's Cove] This is pretty damned wild. You have people engaged in their civil right of peaceable protest, as allowed by their Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but, since they are protesting against government, Fuhrer Trudeau doesn’t like that.
Trudeau declares national emergency over Canadian trucker protests, allowing government to override civil rights
Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared a national emergency over ongoing trucker protests, allowing the nation’s government to temporarily override civil rights.
"The scope of these measures will be time-limited, geographically targeted, as well as reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address," Trudeau said at a press conference on Monday.
The far-reaching Emergencies Act gives the Canadian government the ability to prohibit public assembly, restrict travel, and force businesses — such as towing companies — to act, with compensation.
Trudeau said Canada’s 1998 Emergencies Act will be used to "strengthen and support law enforcement agencies at all levels across the country."
You good with this, Canada? Could it be your Rights suspended next? What do you call it when the government takes away rights because people are using those rights?

[GP] Justin Trudeau’s Justice Minister, David Lametti on Wednesday said that being pro-Trump is a factor that will decide if your bank account is seized or frozen under Trudeau’s Emergency Orders.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Castro Jr.) this week invoked the Emergency Act to break up the Freedom Convoy and freeze funding for the truckers.
Trudeau is also using the Emergency Orders to freeze personal accounts of people who donated to the trucker convoy.

There may be no place safe. Then safety will be a fleeting thing you create around you via much danger to those outside you. You may die for what you believe in. Beats the alternative.

Acting US executive McCarthy, on the red phone to Moscow: We just launched strikes on Iran and China. Are you ready to wait and see that we are not attacking you?
Lavrov: Marshal Zhirinovskiy has asked me to wait a half hour to see what is happening. I will do that. I trust him. I hope he is correct.
McCarthy: We won't let you down. There will be a lot to do in the days and weeks ahead. Let's get that right."
Lavrov: "Yes, Mr. McCarthy. Let's get that right..."

Melissa McCarthy transitioned?? I need to check TMZ more often
Exactly the kind of thing they pass in the House to thrill the rubes, knowing it won’t go anywhere in the Senate.
[NationalPulse] "Declaring unconditional war on racism and invidious discrimination and providing for the establishment of a Cabinet-level Department of Reconciliation charged with eliminating racism and invidious discrimination," reads a summary of the bill, which was introduced on February 9th.
Over 30 House Democrats have signed onto the bill, with key co-sponsors including Congressman Ilhan Omar, Maxine Waters, Rashida Tlaib, and January 6th Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson. The bill has now been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The document makes several claims that the U.S. continues to uphold institutionalized racism before outlining potential remedies:
"Whereas racism and invidious discrimination—like poverty in 1964—remain pervasive in our country; Whereas history is replete with examples of victims of racism and invidious discrimination being denied life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; Whereas systemic and institutionalized racism and invidious discrimination exist in virtually all areas of American life, including policing, criminal justice, housing, banking, voting, employment, education, the environment, and health care..."

The sins of the father shall be laid on the heads of the children.
The sins of others' fathers shall be laid on the heads of our children.
The good deeds of you and your ancestors shall be counted as sins of "violence," "aggression," "fragility," and other turpitude to be named later.
In the absence of the foregoing, the Original Sin of Whiteness shall have sovereign sway.

So if this is ever passed the next day the Democratic Party should be shutdown, and their leadershit thrown in jail as a racist organisation citing several major items:
Writing of the Jim Crow laws,
Filibustering the Ciil Rights Act
Sponsoring the Klu Klux Klan
etc...
[Hot Air] By comparison, just 13 House Republicans have announced their retirements so far. That tells us all we need to know about how the two party establishments view their respective chances this fall.
House Dems are caught in the same predicament they were in January 2010, after rumblings of an earthquake in that fall’s midterms had already begun. On the one hand, Pelosi wanted anyone who was thinking of retirement to announce early and give the party time to recruit a credible nominee in their district. On the other hand, a slew of early retirements would raise anxiety within that the midterms were destined to be a bloodbath, possibly spooking some Dems who otherwise intended to run again into quitting as well.
The more Kathleen Rices there are, the more there are likely to be. Dilemmas, dilemmas.
I’m keen to know what sort of internal polling Rice was seeing to convince her to retire now. She’s only 57 and is serving just her fourth term in the House. She’s won most of her general elections comfortably too, gliding to a 13-point victory in 2020. Surely that was enough of a cushion to guarantee reelection this year too, right?
Well ... not exactly, say the pros. Unless a red tsunami materializes then yes, Rice’s district of NY-4 should go Democratic. But the odds of a red tsunami aren’t as small as they usually are. And so:
So much for his catering to the many Jewish voters in his district.
[IsraelTimes] Congressman who has been less critical of Israel than rest of Squad tells constituents he’s now convinced normalization agreements designed to isolate Paleostinians.
US Rep. Jamaal Bowman, the New York Democrat who has been less critical of Israel than other members of the progressive "Squad," is dropping his support for a bill that would help Israel expand normalization agreements with Arab countries.
In a letter to constituents, Bowman said he has been persuaded that the normalization agreements, launched in 2020 as the Abraham Accords, serve to isolate the Paleostinians, and do not advance a just outcome. The letter was first reported Tuesday by Jewish Currents.
He also expressed concern that some of the incentives for the accords are at odds with his values. The United Arab Emirates has scored the sale of advanced fighter jets and Morocco earned US recognition of its claim to the disputed Western Sahara.
Critics of the accords say they remove from the Paleostinians one of the few leverages they have over Israel: full acceptance in the Middle East.
The bill has overwhelming bipartisan support and Bowman’s change of mind won’t stop it from passing. Under the accords, brokered by the Trump administration, Israel normalized relations with the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco. The bill would help facilitate normalization with other countries.
Bowman is a member of the "Squad," a grouping of six progressives that includes Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who says Israel should not exist as a Jewish state, and Rep. Alexandria Sandy Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... (D-N.Y.), who has called Israel an apartheid state. Bowman, however — representing a district that encompasses substantive Jewish communities in the Bronx and Westchester — has not been as adamant in his Israel criticism. Alone in the Squad, he backed additional funding last year for the Iron Dome anti-missile systems for Israel. So did the vast majority of the party’s Progressive Caucus.
Bowman in the letter said a recent visit to Israel and the West Bank helped bring about his change of mind. He did not note that J Street, the liberal Jewish Middle East policy group, organized the visit, nor that the group backs the bill that would expand the Abraham Accords.
Some progressives criticized Bowman for going on a trip with J Street, which describes itself as pro-Israel.
While the move by Bowman appeared aimed at pleasing some of his more left-wing constituencies,
The Democratic Socialists of America BDS and Paleostine Solidarity Working Group tweeted that Bowman only followed through on a promise he made to withdraw his sponsorship for HR 2748 "after newly drawn district borders now exclude Riverdale, an area with a heavy Zionist constituency."
Ah. No longer has to appease the voters that are no longer his.
