2.) Democrats Silent as Republicans Rip Into Secret Royalty Checks to Fauci, Hundreds of NIH Scientists

Top Democratic leaders with oversight of the National Institutes for Health (NIH) are keeping quiet about the $350 million in secret payments to agency leaders like Dr. Anthony Fauci and hundreds of its scientists.

The Epoch Times received no responses from multiple requests to Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) for comment on a report by a non-profit government watchdog estimating that Fauci, former NIH director Francis Collins, and hundreds of NIH scientists got as much as $350 million in undisclosed royalty payments from pharmaceutical and other private firms between 2010 and 2020.

Because NIH hands out $32 billion in research grants to medical institutions and researchers annually the undisclosed royalty payments, which are usually for work on a new drug, may indicate the presence of massive and widespread conflicts of interest or the appearance of such conflicts, both of which violate federal ethics laws and regulations.

Collins resigned as NIH director in December 2021 after 12 years of leading the world’s largest public health agency.Fauci is the longtime head of NIH’s National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), as well as chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden.

Fauci received 23 royalty payments during the period, while Collins was paid 14. Clifford Lane, Fauci’s deputy, got eight payments, according to Open the Books.

While Pallone and Murray were silent on the secret NIH payments, Republicans expressed outrage at what they see as serious conflicts of interest.

2.) 2022: The Year of the Parent Party

If 2010 was the year of the Tea Party, 2022 is the year of the Parent Party. Just ask NPR/PBS. According to their new poll, 60 percent of parents with children under the age of 18 say they would currently vote Republican, with only 32 percent preferring to vote Democrat. This political sea change is unprecedented, as parents have traditionally trusted that the Democratic Party had their children’s educational interests at heart.

Parents are going to make their voices heard in 2022. Where they might otherwise be busy with their careers or their kids’ extracurricular activities, they will now be working together to fight back against those that have been holding education hostage for decades. Instead of the top-of-the-ticket candidates for the Senate and governor driving people to the polls and grabbing the headlines, campaign contributions, and volunteers in 2022, the grassroots will be coalescing around school board races.

We live in the United States of America where parents have a right to be involved in the education of their children, not Nazi Germany or communist Russia where the government had complete control over the education of the children. The curtain has been pulled back on the political agenda of the so-called “experts” and school board members in charge of our education system. As a result, parents have started to elect candidates who will put their children first and limit the power of unelected bureaucrats to make decisions on local levels. The mama bears are shaking things up.

Greg Bland Endorsement

Re-Open Arkansas endorses Greg Bland

House District 52

Voters in Scott and Yell Counties are facing a three-way choice among an existing state rep who casts a lot of poor votes, a single-issue candidate, and constitutional conservative Greg Bland. Marcus Richmond voted against election integrity, to lengthen legislative term limits, and to allow secret meetings for spending your tax dollars. He also voted for tax increases, higher cell phone fees, the highway tax bond issue, and higher gasoline taxes. Meanwhile, Greg Bland is a consistent conservative – opposing all mandates, supporting parents’ rights, and protecting the unborn 100% of the time. Bland advocates for a new approach to the state budget where all costs must be justified; he supports a drastic reduction of the bureaucracy and complete elimination of the state income tax. Because he is strongly aligned with our principles, Reopen Arkansas formally endorses Greg Bland for State Representative District 52.

Friday Update (5/13)

1.) Fox News Is Headed For Disaster

from Emerald Robinson: https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/fox-news-is-headed-for-disaster?s=r

Fox News has been on a collision course with its own audience since the stolen 2020 election — and you can almost feel the impact coming. The network has made so many dumb bets lately that it’s like watching a busload of trailer park residents get offloaded to play the nickel slots in Reno. All you can do is shake your head as you think: I know they’re all going bankrupt, and they’re already bankrupt. It’s been perfectly obvious for years now that Rupert Murdoch and his feckless sons turned against President Trump and actually helped Joe Biden — which is not just unforgivable. It’s unsustainable.

Case in point: Dinesh D’Souza dropped several bombshells on Twitter recently that illustrate that Fox News has nowhere left to hide. Listen to the D’Souza podcast here.  

This sort of thing would be unthinkable just a few years ago. D’Souza’s tweet virtually guarantees that he will never appear on any Fox News program again. He will be black-listed — a common practice at Fox (just ask Rudy Giuliani and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Peter Navarro). Dinesh knew all of this and did it anyway — and that should tell you something. (He even tagged a Fox producer on Tucker’s team to name and shame him.) Fox has lost its monopoly power on the Right, and it’s no longer immune from criticism by the conservative community.

That hasn’t stopped Fox News from trying to cut D’Souza out of his own documentary in order to present the work as its own.

The real reason that “2000 Mules” is being ignored by the conservative corporate media and the liberal corporate media is because it’s true. The stolen 2020 election was the largest political interference operation ever conducted in America. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s charity spent more than $400 million to create a private election system in swing states — and he was hardly alone. It took massive coordination from both political parties and the corporate media and federal law enforcement and left-wing NGO’s to thwart the will of the American people in 2020.

Fox News is the voice of the uniparty regime in Washington. 

That regime doesn’t have any GOP voters left. Look at McConnell’s poll numbers. Look at Pence’s poll numbers. Trump just endorsed a bunch of primary candidates and they just swept through the GOP establishment’s pickslike Hunter Biden at a strip club. The GOP establishment has the voting machines, but it doesn’t have any voters.

Fox News is not on the side of the GOP voters — but they do rely on them. So they’re caught, and everybody knows it.

That’s why Fox wants to strong-arm conservative influencers like D’Souza into letting it appropriate his content on voter fraud — they need to pretend to care for the sake of the audience. Just watch D’Souza’s podcast video again, and listen to what he tells you:

Fox News knows that they “can crucify him” and so he has to “stay on the reservation” or he will be banned. Tucker’s executive producer (D’Souza claims) responded to D’Souza’s declining their strong-arm “offer” by telling D’Souza that “he was finished” and that Fox would “teach him a lesson.”

That’s a threat that had teeth before 2020. Now it just sounds like hollow threats from gutless people. The world has changed. The people who are going to get taught a lesson in the next few years are at Fox News.

2.) COVID Proves It: Democrats Couldn’t Care Less About Minorities Or The Poor

New research reveals the enormous harm that pandemic school shutdowns had on students, and that minorities and the poor suffered the most, especially in places run by Democrats.

To understand the impact of school shutdowns on learning, Harvard University’s Center for Education Policy Research compiled testing data on 2.1 million students in 49 states to see how school closures and the use of remote “learning” affected academic achievement.

The findings are deeply troubling. Closing schools “had profound consequences for student achievement.” Worse, it widened economic and racial education gaps. The researchers found that “high-poverty schools were more likely to go remote and the consequences for student achievement were more negative when they did so.”

One of the study’s authors, Thomas Kane, told the New York Times that “this will probably be the largest increase in educational inequity in a generation.”

The study also revealed a wide gulf between states based on how long they shuttered their schools – ranging from a handful of weeks to 20 weeks or more.

What the authors didn’t point out, but which is the inescapable conclusion to be drawn, is that states and cities run by Democrats kept their schools closed far longer than those run by Republicans.

Sharyl Attkisson  

There’s been an upheaval in education during the past two years of the Covid pandemic. Part of the change has pressed parents into increased involvement, even activism.  From protests to disrupted school board meetings, many parents angry and increasingly willing to speak out.Across racial, social, and economic lines, a common thread unites these parents. Though spread across the nation, they are part of an organization called Moms for Liberty that’s taking the lead in parent activism over what, if anything, children should be taught in schools beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic.

Tina Descovitch and Tiffany Justice lead the movement that, in just under a year and a half, has grown to 80,000 members in 34 states.

Mark Johnson (SD-17) Endorsement

Voters in Conway, Roland, and the Highway 10 corridor west of Little Rock are being offered a choice between an increasingly conservative Republican and a liberal ‘Republican.’ In the last session, Senator Mark Johnson moved considerably to the right, voting correctly on all medical freedom bills except one he missed due to the dedication of the new Petit Jean State Park Visitor Center. His opponent, Representative Spencer Hawks, voted with the democrats against the SAFE Act, which prevents the state from paying for chemical castration of children. After Asa vetoed the bill, Hawks STILL voted with the democrats against the override. He also failed to vote to override Asa’s veto of SB301, returning the unconstitutional Covid fines to small businesses. These are just a couple of examples of how out of touch Spencer Hawks is with conservative Arkansas voters. If you are in District 17, do yourself a favor, and vote for the steady, conservative leadership of Senator Mark Johnson, who receives the formal endorsement of Reopen Arkansas.

Friday Update (5/6)

1.) The reasons for getting the Covid-CCP injection grow fewer by the day. And yet, the government persists.

CNBC  

At least 58% of U.S. population has natural antibodies from previous Covid infection, CDC says

QUOTE: Three out of every 5 people in the U.S. now have antibodies from a previous Covid-19 infection with the proportion even higher among children, demonstrating how widespread the virus was during the winter omicron surge, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The proportion of people with natural Covid antibodies increased substantially from about 34% of the population in December to about 58% in February during the unprecedent wave of infection driven by the highly contagious omicron variant. The CDC’s analysis didn’t factor in people who had antibodies from vaccination.

The CDC published the data in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on Tuesday.

The increase in antibody prevalence was most pronounced among children, indicating a high rate of infection among kids during the winter omicron wave. About 75% of children and teenagers now have antibodies from past Covid infections, up from about 45% in December.
