PGC – The US House Republicans issued a report that came to the conclusion the Coronavirus-19 came from a lab leak in Wuhan somewhere around September of 2019. Right around that same time, there were military personel present in Wuhan from multiple nations that came to compete in military games.
This is where the Chinese government suggests it was US military personel that brought the virus to Wuhan, but the Republicans say the virus came from a lab leak in Wuhan, which happened to be working on an activated coronivirus at the time, in part thanks to US funding approved by Dr. Fauci himself.
The DNC finds itself in the awkward position of once again siding with the CCP on this one, as it damages their political opponents and, for the DNC, what hurts your political opponent at home is worth whatever international diminishment you cause the nation.
While the DNC won’t be able to full-on support the US Army Did it theory of the Chinese, their lower level hatcket folks most assuredly will. The DNC will simply downplay the significance of the GOP study and call it premature, but it will be doubtful if whatever they produce from their investigation will lead to anything more than “we may never know.”
China lashes out at GOP report on Wuhan lab, repeats US military conspiracy

The Chinese government dismissed a House GOP report that argues COVID-19 escaped from a Wuhan lab in late summer 2019, arguing it is based on “concocted lies.”
The Communist Party also pointed a finger at the U.S. military, a tactic Republicans said made sense if it was trying to cover up the outbreak’s source.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Republicans concluded the October 2019 World Military Games in Wuhan were “one of the earliest super spreader events” of the pandemic, with the report contending COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in late August or early September 2019, with China covering it up for months.
The report zeroed in on the event, during which more than 9,000 military personnel from over 100 countries came to compete in Wuhan, where Republicans argue the Chinese government knew the virus was circulating.
PGC – When you define hate crime as speech, and you give the state power to process that speech as crime, you empower the state to control speech, endstop.
We see evidence of this in the rhetoric of the left themselves, who, whenever the narrative somehow begins to turn against them ,despite their inordinate advantage at controlling most of the bullhorns most people hear in these lands, they turn to the morality police informant willing to destroy any semblence of Bill of Rights standards because this time the narrative is too important to lose.
The handling of the Cough Cough by governments and corporations has demonstrated to most people willing to plainly observe that they view we humans as lab rats and children that must be held by the hand at all times and controlled from cradle to grave unless we manage somehow to get a ticket into the big show, the place where the human pig dependents are made.
From within their protected citadels, they make decrees and the ones who write laws and command cops follow the signal wherever it goes. One professor is now sending a message to all the powers that be in that special club that they’re losing the narrative on Covid. All of your efforts to micromanage our lives to safety have led to perhaps more harm than good.
We can’t even begin to count the ways that these lockdowns have changed the lives of so many of our youth who were denied we don’t even fully know what. As we see suicide rates increase dramatically, and small businesses forever destroyed, we see no reason to believe you anymore, not because of conspiracies, but because of the plain fruits of our lies and what our simple eyes show us.
When your news shows can’t hide the failures, you must criminalize the very thought of failure itself. So a Professor of good standing in one of the bastions of the DNC ideology comes forward and declares it to be a rational idea to declare questioing the official science on Covid should be considered a hate crime. Let’s throw in a protection for Fauci as well, and make it clear he’s off limits like Covid Science is off limts.
A pediatric doctor from Baylor Colliege of Medicine, Dr. Peter Hotez, offered such a scenario. This man is a pediatric doctor. I am willing to bet some of the fathers and mothers of some of the very children he serves might get arrested one day if his hate crime expansion fantasy were to happen. Maybe one of them would go to jail, over speech, and this ‘do no harm’ in name only doctor is suggesting we throw that child’s parent in jail because the narrative is failing and no one believes we incompetent scientists anymore.
Someone recently argued with me about the rising hate in this country, suggesting it wasn’t to the point people were willing to subhumanize vast groups of people. This item here is what confirms in me that my suspicions are sadly well founded, suspicions I am sure many of you share.
Most of this anger, most of this hate is coming from our highest leadership in all of our own major institutions, as in this case, the University of Baylor becoming a legitimizer in the minds of millions that it’s ok to view people who don’t agree with the authorities as being something less than human, subhuman, criminals who should all be locked up.
Professor suggests it should be a federal hate crime to criticize Fauci and

Excerpt:
Dr. Peter Hotez, a professor of pediatrics and molecular virology at Baylor College of Medicine, is arguing that federal hate-crime protections may need to be extended to Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists “targeted by far-right extremism.”
In his July 28 paper “Mounting antiscience aggression in the United States,” Hotez writes that a “band of ultraconservative members of the US Congress and other public officials with far-right leanings are waging organized and seemingly well-coordinated attacks against prominent US biological scientists.”
With that, the professor contends in his paper that Congress “should look at expanded protection mechanisms for scientists currently targeted by far-right extremism in the United States,” citing a bill that has been introduced named the Scientific Integrity Act of 2021.
PGC – A 1943 Supreme Court Ruling, West Virginia v Barnette, could undo the whole effort by the DNC to indoctrinate the youth of our land to accept a very specific moral construct, the doctrine of race-based, disenfranchised-based critical thinking that begins with an assumption that generation wrongs must be righted by diminishment of the classes that are part of those generational wrongs.
This type of thinking is antithetical to the spirit of many moral constructs across these lands, including forms of Chrisitanity, Islam, Buddhism, and even non-deistic belief systems like Stoicism or Objevtivism.
Nevermind which might be the one true moral construct, the point is that we live in a pluralistic land of moralities, most all of which can find socio-cultural harmony through the standards of the Bill of Rights. When our public education system, an extension of government, chooses to use its power to influence our children to indoctrinate it into a very specific moral frame, then it no longer represents a republican government, it represents a tyrannical one. Apparently, in 1943, our Supreme Court agreed with me.
Supreme Court precedent opposes Critical Race Theory in public schools

By 1962, most schools had a small ceremony to start the day that included the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer. There were prayers at the beginning of football and basketball games, beseeching good sportsmanship; invocations and benedictions at graduation exercises, encouraging students to succeed and be happy; and separate baccalaureate services, imploring the Almighty to bless these particular persons.
A small group decided to challenge these traditions for violating the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Soon, Supreme Court decisions concluding that these references coerced students into accepting certain notions ending most invocations to a higher power in public school.
The Court in the post-1960s era relied heavily on an earlier case, West Virginia v. Barnette (1943), that said:
If there is any fixed star in our constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.
So, we have come full circle: Even though the Supreme Court majority once banned as coercion – public entities prescribing orthodox thought and forcing citizens to “act their faith herein” — a minority of leftists are relentlessly advancing their ideology in public schools in the form of Critical Race Theory
The DNC machine, with all of the vast near-monopolistic powers of society and culture and state at their disposal, can’t keep Biden up in the polls. A new poll has Joe Biden drop ten points in job approval overall from last June, down to 52 percent. The number of people who believed the economy was right on track dropped from 49 percent to 43 percent.
Across the board, Joe’s polls are sliding as his mask keeps sliding and the machine can’t keep pushing the mask back up again.

The Hill reported that Biden’s approval sits at 52% in the latest Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll.
He lost ten points from June when 62% of the respondents approved of his job.
Congress, Republican, and Democrat approval ratings also took a hit.
The latest approval ratings come in as the country sees an uptick in COVID-19 cases:
That resurgence has put the coronavirus pandemic back at the top of the list of voters’ concerns, according to the poll. Thirty-six percent say that COVID-19 is the most important issue facing the country, a 6-point increase from June when jobs and the economy topped the list of concerns.
Nassau County, NY has passed a bill that will allow police officers to sue people if they decide to discriminate against them because of their line of work. The bill would allow an officer, for instance, to sue a bar that refused to serve them if they were cops, even cops off-duty.
The bill was passed this past Monday, August 2nd, and is sure to get major scrutiny legally and otherwise in the coming days and weeks.

A New York county on Monday passed a bill to allow police officers to sue protesters for harassment.
The bill, passed by the Nassau County legislature on Long Island, enhances the legal rights of police to shield themselves from attacks based on their occupation. County officials said they wanted to shore up support for their police following a year of anti-police activism and protests. The bill now goes to the desk of County Executive Laura Curran (D.), who issued a statement supportive of law enforcement but has not said whether she will sign the bill.
“I’m proud of the dedicated first responders who’ve made Nassau the safest County in America, and I will continue to stand against defunding the police. My Administration is committed to protecting the brave men and women of law enforcement who keep us safe,” Curran said in the statement.
The bill mandates steep penalties for discriminating against police officers, including a fine of $25,000. The fine doubles if the offense is connected with a riot
The Missouri couple that used guns to chase a mob off their property received a pardon from the governor of the state, Mike Parson. Parson pardoned the McCloskeys because Americans have a fundamental right to protect their person and their property from attack.
Parson added that couple “did what they legally should do.” The political persecution of the McCloskeys is over, at least if it is to come from the Missouri State AG or a St Louis AG Office.
