How the Sausage Gets Made

The process by which these delectable ingredients are transformed into Covid "science" for public consumption was illustrated most recently by the widespread dissemination of two atrocious scientific preprints

• The first was a preprint in the Lancet pretending to show that Covid vaccines saved over 20 million lives, and the second falsely claiming that COVID was one of the leading causes of death in children.
• From the very beginning, virtually every Covid policy has come about as a result of elite institutions and regulatory bodies throwing their reputation behind studies of questionable origin and scientific merit, for reasons that remain largely a mystery.

Granite City Steel Mill that Reopened Thanks to Trump Economic Policies Will Lose Up to 1,000 Jobs Under Joe Biden

In March 2018 US Steel announced will restart two blast furnaces and recall 500 employees in Granite City, Illinois following President Trump's decision to tax steel and aluminum imports.

• During Trump's visit, a local KSDK reporter spoke to one of the steelworkers who was out of work for two-and-a-half years and was relieved to have his job back. He spoke about President Trump and the life he has brought back to the western Illinois community.

Supreme Court Delivers Decision on 'Remain in Mexico' Policy

While the Supreme Court has been delivering some amazing cases - overturning Roe v. Wade, ensuring religious liberty, and now, curtailing the power of the executive branch with its EPA decision - there was another case that came out on Thursday that didn't go the way conservatives might have hoped and unfortunately is going to be a big problem for the country.

The decision on the "Remain in Mexico" policy that President Donald Trump implemented and that Joe Biden has been trying to overturn

• On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that the Biden Administration can repeal that policy, known formally as "Migrant Protection Protocols" in a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts.
• The key statute is 8 U.S.C. Section 1225, part of which says someone applying for admission "shall be detained for a proceeding" unless they are "clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to be admitted."
• Without the ability to detain everyone, Texas and Missouri argued that sending them back when possible is necessary is necessary.

The Vicious, Racially Charged Assault on Clarence Thomas

Journalists and other Democrats are waging another racially charged assault on a prominent black conservative.

When Sen. Tim Scott delivered the GOP response to President Joe Biden's congressional address in April 2021, liberals denounced the historic black senator, using racist tropes such as "Uncle Tim." One Democratic analyst called Scott a "Clown" whose "Ancestors are ashamed of him." The Washington Post published an investigation implying that Scott's grandfather-raised on a farm in South Carolina during the Great Depression-was actually a child of privilege.

Following the Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the left-wing outrage machine unleashed a torrent of racially fraught abuse at Clarence Thomas, the High Court's only black justice.

Failed politician Hillary Clinton invoked a classic racist trope about black male aggression by describing Thomas as consumed by "Anger" and a desire to murder women.

NBC News historian Michael Beschloss concurred with Hillary's bigoted language, while others appeared to question the legitimacy of Thomas's marriage to a white woman.

Anyone who criticizes a black person they disagree with is a filthy racist.

Supreme Court Limits Power of EPA, Other Regulatory Agencies

The Supreme Court on Thursday curtailed the EPA's powers to restrict greenhouse gas emissions from power plants

• The high court said federal agencies need explicit authorization from Congress to decide issues of major economic and political significance.
• Chief Justice Roberts said Congress never gave the EPA the authority to change the methods a power plant uses-regulations known as "generation shifting" requirements.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, hailed the ruling as significant

• "Today, the Supreme Court has taken a major step to restore representative government and require legislators, not bureaucrats, to make the major policy decisions affecting the lives of Americans."
• The decision is a warning to regulatory agencies that they should be wary of interpreting old laws to give them broad new powers

The Supreme Court decision raises broader questions about how far the regulatory authority of federal agencies extends.

• For half a century, the Clean Air Act has directed the EPA to regulate stationary sources of air pollution that endanger "public health or welfare."
• The Obama-era Clean Power Plan extended that regulatory reach beyond the physical premises of a power plant to allow off-site methods to mitigate pollution.
• The Trump administration in 2019 overturned the plan, replacing it with industry-friendly rules allowing older power plants to continue operating.

Background

• Presidents from both parties have increasingly governed by executive order when their agendas are stalled in Congress, often giving regulators vast power over swaths of the economy
• Many conservative lawyers have criticized this expansion of regulatory power, saying it isn't consistent with the "separation of powers" framework in the Constitution
• Some liberals have defended the shift toward administrative governance, saying Congress can and should delegate authority to agencies with more expertise

Biden Takes Aim at America's Largest Oil Field, Threatens to Stop Production, Sending Gas Prices Soaring

The Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to cite the United States' largest oil field for violating ozone pollution standards, a move that will threaten the end of oil and gas production in the region.

Will directly affect the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the United States, accounting for 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day or 40% of the oil produced domestically.

This would be just one more move from Biden's administration to impact the lives of every American by reducing the fuel supply and causing gas prices to soar well beyond Biden's record of $5 per gallon.

"Even as Americans are struggling with $5 gas and record-breaking inflation, team Biden continues to double down on their political commitments to 'end all fossil fuels,'" former EPA Chief of Staff Mandy Gunasekara told reporters.

Ongoing regulatory uncertainty common to Biden's ever-increasing climate change initiatives is likely to disincentivize new permits and drilling in the oil field.

President Biden's EPA seeks to stop gas production in the Permian Basin.

Abbott called out the hypocrisy of the Biden White House, which has claimed empathy for Americans struggling to afford gas.

Top Biden Officials Reveal Plans To Continue Pushing Climate Agenda If Supreme Court Blocks EPA

The Supreme Court is likely to weaken the Biden administration's efforts to limit carbon dioxide emissions in West Virginia v. EPA, with several of the justices having probed the extent of EPA's authority in oral arguments. However, Biden officials remain confident in their ability to advance the administration's aggressive environmental agenda by using the Clean Air Act and other government powers.

The Biden administration is focused on ways to advance the ball on climate change policy

• The transition to green energy "is not going to live and die by the Supreme Court's decision tomorrow," said White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy.
• We're going to try to continue to do is to go faster," she said in reference to the future of Biden's climate agenda.

The White House and the EPA did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation's requests for comment. republished content from TheDCNF.org.

Joe Biden Confronted on 85% Wrong-Track Number, Record Inflation — Blames US Supreme Court

An overwhelming majority of Americans say the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction, including nearly 8 in 10 Democrats.

Gas prices are at record highs - double what they were when Trump left office.

On Friday morning Joe Biden was questioned on his devastating record and on an America that is going backward.

Biden: "Our inflation rate is lower than other nations in the world".

FACT CHECK: The U.S. has one of the highest inflation rates in the developed world.

Biden Says He Supports Exception to Filibuster to Codify Roe v. Wade Into Law

The filibuster could be changed with a simple majority vote, but not all Democrats in the 50-50 Senate are on board with such a move, saying it would fundamentally change the nature of the Senate and could backfire if the GOP takes control of the chamber. Biden had previously backed an exception to filibuster rules to pass long-stalled election bills.

Biden supports overturning Roe v. Wade

• Vice President Biden said he would support changing the Senate rules not only for abortion, but also to protect the broader right to privacy.
• "It's a serious, serious problem that the court has thrust upon the United States, not just in terms of the right to choose," he said.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and his fellow Republicans oppose changing the filibuster rules for any legislation

• Mr. McConnell has said he wouldn't change the rule if his party takes control of the Senate again.
• Democrats tried most recently to suspend the filibuster to pass voting-access legislation, which failed when Mr. Manchin and Ms. Sinema joined Republicans in opposition

Do mask mandates work? Bay Area COVID data says no.

In early June, during an uptick in COVID-19 cases, Alameda County was the only Bay Area county to bring back an indoor mask mandate. At the time, county Health Officer Dr. Nicholas Moss said, "Putting our masks back on gives us the best opportunity to limit the impact of a prolonged wave on our communities."

The graphs below compare Alameda County's seven-day average case rate from the past two months to rates in neighboring Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and San Francisco counties.

• The case rate curves for Alameda and Contra Costa counties are near-identical
• If masking policy had an impact on pandemic outcomes, one would expect to see some sort of discrepancy in the graph
• Once the mandate was introduced, the three counties all followed the same trend line

The recent mask order contributed to the improvements observed with COVID-19 in Alameda County

• “Published evidence shows that high levels of community masking lowers transmission rates and survey data displayed an increase in masking during the recent Order timeframe," Moss said in a statement.
• The New York Times published an article titled “Why Masks Work, but Mandates Haven’t”
• Many people find it difficult to wear an N95 for long periods of time, instead opting for lower-quality cloth or surgical masks
• If the mandate came with enforcement of wearing a good mask correctly, it might demonstrate a significant advantage in preventing cases.

The Bay Area

• Residents of the San Francisco Bay Area, with high rates of vaccination and infection-acquired immunity from the past two surges, are well-protected from severe disease and death
• Anyone who wants to limit their chance of catching COVID-19 can easily do so by wearing a well-fitting N95 when they go out in public, with or without a mask mandate

California Makes History: First State in U.S. Giving Food Stamps to Illegals

The sanctuary state of California will make history by becoming the first state in the nation to give food stamps to illegal aliens.

This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a budget deal with Democrat state legislators that includes providing food stamps, paid for by California's taxpayers, to illegal aliens 55 and older - the first initiative of its kind in the United States.

An executive with the group Nourish California told the Fresno Bee that the policy is historic for the state, saying, "California is once again making history by removing xenophobic exclusions to our state's safety net."

Expansion of the state's CalFresh food stamps program will cost California's taxpayers more than $35 million and about 75,000 illegal aliens are expected to enroll every year.

The move comes as Newsom's budget deal will also ensure that California is the first state in the nation to provide taxpayer-funded health insurance to all of its 3.3 million illegal aliens.

Offering taxpayer-funded health insurance to its entire illegal alien population, the largest in the nation, is expected to cost California's taxpayers about $2.4 billion annually.

Chinese impersonated Texans to sabotage critical US rare earth minerals plant

Chinese agents pretending to be concerned Texans executed an online disinformation campaign against a company building a rare earth minerals facility in Texas for the Department of Defense, the cybersecurity firm Mandiant revealed on Tuesday.

Mandiant found that agents for a pro-China disinformation campaign used fake social media accounts to cast doubt on Lynas Rare Earth Ltd. and other mining firms in an effort to weaken the rare earth minerals supply chain in the United States and elsewhere.

Lynas is the largest rare earth mining company in the world and currently has a contract with the Pentagon to build a facility in Texas.

Mandiant said Chinese actors lied about being local Texans online in order to stir up opposition to Lynas building a rare earth minerals plant in Texas.

"Dragonbridge" is a code name used by Mandiant to identify Chinese disinformation efforts.

Liu Pengyu, a Chinese Embassy spokesman, said that while he has not seen Mandiant's report, he thinks it is the result of "Forces in the world" that want to slander China.

The disinformation campaign comes as China moves to dominate the market for rare earth minerals, which are used in numerous tech productions, including smartphones, TVs, medical equipment, water treatment systems and more.

Americans Are ‘Collateral Damage' In Dems' Insane War On Energy

The economic disaster Biden has created is ultimately a result of surging federal spending during the pandemic, foolish Fed policies that poured monetary gasoline onto a raging inflation fire, and the ongoing effort by Biden and the Democrats to punish the very companies that provide our energy, threatening them with smothering regulations, painful taxes and even public shaming.

• Things have reached a fever pitch of late
• The Democrats' extremist anti-free-market green wing suggests we would all be better off if we just nationalized our oil and gas industry
• 90% of the world's oil assets are already controlled by governments, and therefore the global crude-oil market is a dysfunctional mess
• Enterprising private-sector oil firms are the one bright spot in all this

Biden has nothing to brag about

• Biden entered office in a country that was self-sufficient in energy yet now has to go hat-in-hand begging the likes of Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iran and other OPEC pariahs to sell us more oil
• Playing off public anger, Biden, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and climate change czar John Kerry have repeatedly and dishonestly attacked the energy industry, suggesting it should be shut down or, equally bad, accusing companies of "profiteering" and "greed"
• Virtually every left-wing energy proposal in the past two decades has been designed to create false scarcity

Bottom Line

• Unless there are unforeseen advances in energy technology, Biden's plan to cut CO2 emissions by 50% from 2005 levels by 2030 and by 100% by 2050 is simply not achievable.
• The "net-zero emissions" extremism will damage the next generation's prospects of living better than their parents did.

CDC EXPOSED! Government Body Used False Data To Approve The COVID Jab For Children

The Centers for Disease Control And Prevention (CDC) was exposed for using highly misleading information when presenting to the vaccine advisory panel that approved the COVID-19 vaccine for children. The data in the pre-print study featured subjects between birth and 19 years. However, it is unclear why data points for subjects aged 18 to 19 were used.

The study ranks COVID-19 as the fifth leading cause of death for children under 18, while ranking it as the eighth leading cause for all other groups

• In every age group, the cumulative death rate is more than double the annualized death rate.
• The study drew its data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
• When the CDC data is annualized and only includes deaths where the virus was the primary cause, it does not rank as a leading cause.

The CDC's response was to re-tabulate data from another source and update the pre-print study.

• Covid-19 is a leading cause of death in children in the US
• It was cited at the FDA VRBPAC and CDC ACIP meetings this past week.

Seth Flaxman, a computer science professor at the Imperial College of London, tweeted after the flaws in the paper were brought to light that the team is working on a revised version to be shared soon.

• “We will update this paper as soon as we have it back from the printer.”

FDA Panel Advisor Admits Agency "LOST" Clinical Trial Data for Placebo Group Before Approving Experimental Vaccine for Babies and Toddlers

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the mRNA vaccine for emergency use in young children

• In addition to ignoring the mountain of evidence showing the vaccines are regularly causing life-threatening injuries, the FDA 'experts' routinely skipped crucial steps in the testing process, allowing them to manipulate the data in order to suit their desired outcomes.

No efficacy data

• "There is no efficacy data," Zhang explained. "We have lost the placebo groups, so we cannot really say anything about the duration of vaccine efficacy after that time point."
• Unfortunately, we are limited to the results that we have shown you in the slide with the data cut off.

Despite all of this, the FDA dutifully approved the vaccine for babies and toddlers despite no efficacy data

• Recent data has shown that they are actually more susceptible to long-term vaccine injury after taking the experimental mRNA jab, especially among young boys
• Cases of myocarditis have exploded among young Americans, hitting unprecedented levels ever since the vaccine was made available to those aged 12-17

Churches Across US Build Tiny Home Villages Amid Worsening Affordability Crisis

Churches across the US are working with homeless charities to construct tiny home communities amid one of the worst housing affordability crises ever.

AP News says churches are using spare land to build tiny home communities to accommodate the homeless.

Meridian Baptist Church in El Cajon, California, partnered with local nonprofit Amikas to construct a tiny home community to address the homelessness crisis.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, Firm Foundation Community Housing, launched by Rev. Jake Medcalf, has erected a tiny home housing community in the parking lot of First Presbyterian Church of Hayward.

The First Christian Church of Tacoma in Washington erected an entire village of tiny homes in their parking lot.

Donald Whitehead, director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, told AP the move by churches across the country to build tiny home communities is a "Great emergency option" amid today's economy that hasn't worked for everyone.

Maybe all of these tiny home communities springing up at US churches should be dubbed "Bidenvilles," similar to the shacktowns built during the Great Depression in the 1930s called "Hoovervilles."

Known and Suspected Terrorists Entering US in Unprecedented Numbers: Rep. Higgins

Clay Higgins: “We have somewhere between 500 and 1,000 known and suspected terrorists [who] have entered into our country across our southern border since President [Joe] Biden has been inaugurated into office."

• “This should startle every American citizen regardless of political affiliation."

'Conservative Numbers'

• Biden's administration is using "conservative numbers" when it comes to estimating how many there are
• This is due to the "got-aways" being very difficult to catch because they aggressively run and hide from law enforcement.
• Huge numbers of those individuals who are evading law enforcement at the border are working for Mexican drugs cartels
• The rising number of fentanyl deaths in America.

Fentanyl Deaths

• Deaths from the powerful synthetic opioid have more than doubled in 30 states in just two years
• In 15 states, they have tripled
• The drug is now the No. 1 cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45
• Traffickers are putting fentanyl in fake prescription pills to make them more addictive
