House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Whip James Clyburn omitted one key detail on Friday during the opening of an exhibit honoring former Rep. Joseph Rainey of South Carolina , the first black congressman in American history .
The exhibit , located in the United States Capitol , is named `` Joseph Rainey : 150 years '' and celebrates the 150th anniversary of Rainey 's swearing-in on Dec. 12 , 1870 , as the first African American member of the U.S. House of Representatives .

“ It is a great honor to join Whip Clyburn -- a proud son of South Carolina -- to announce the opening of this exhibition , celebrating the historic service and enduring impact of Congressman Joseph Rainey , ” Pelosi said , according to a transcript released by her office .

I feel disenfranchised with last month's vote because of such apparent widespread voter fraud in six key swing states. But the media say, "There's nothing to see here." As of this writing, 40 court decisions seem to agree with them.
Thank God for the alternative media, which is a lifeline of information and which big tech, big media and the cultural elites are doing their best to suppress. But you can't suppress the truth forever.
A congresswoman from Florida says that Trump's attempts to expose allegations of voter fraud are undermining our nation.
Democrat Rep. Stephanie Murphy, whose family fled Vietnam in the late 1970s, is a U.S. Representative from the greater Orlando area. She said, "My family fled a communist dictatorship, so I've never taken America's democracy for granted. The president's claims of election fraud are discredited and dangerous, nothing more than a cynical attempt to subvert the will of the American people."
She was responding to this tweet (Dec. 1) from NPR that said the election was fair and not stolen. NPR Politics: "'This was a secure election,' Christopher Krebs, the former top federal government election security official, said. 'That is a success story. That is something everyone in the administration should be proud of.'"

Forget those suitcases captured on video brought out in the middle of election night in Atlanta, presumably chock full of Biden ballots.

Much has been written about how America 's universities have been infiltrated by radical leftists who have created a campus environment of political correctness , wokeness , cancel culture , critical race theory and socialism .
However , one would assume that the United States ' military academies would be spared from this movement .
Unfortunately , we are learning this is not the case , and the latest example comes from the U.S. Air Force Academy .
Before this football season , the Academy released a three-minute video in which the head coach Troy Calhoun and numerous assistant coaches @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again and again , `` Black lives matter . ''
While they do not expressly endorse the organization Black Lives Matter , they recite much of the group 's propaganda .
For instance , they state , `` Black lives … are not treated as equal in our society , '' and , `` It is not enough for us to be 'not racist . '
It is time to be 'anti-racist . '
'' They complain about `` institutional discrimination . ''
A white coach states , `` It 's time for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bizarrely , they also note the need to `` pursue greater opportunities when it comes to … healthcare '' and even address `` Marxism '' and `` capitalism . ''
Lt. Gen. Rod Bishop is leading a group of Academy alums seeking to get the video taken down .
In an exclusive interview on my `` Hidden Truth Show '' podcast released today , he contends that the video contains falsehoods , endorses a Marxist organization , is detrimental to morale , and violates military rules and regulations .
`` If you are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years from now , are you going to want to fly into that combat zone if you have been taught that your country is inherently evil and racist ? ''
Bishop asked .
In the interview , he describes the group 's efforts to get the coach or the Academy 's superintendent to take down the video .
However , they have repeatedly failed to do so , noting that many people `` like '' it .
So , the group resorted to a more formal process , filing a complaint with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The complaint alleged that the video violates Air Force and Department of Defense directives that prohibit members from publicly advocating for a `` political party '' or `` political cause . ''
The complaint also alleged that the video violates the recent Office of Management and Budget directive and the recent Executive Order for federal agencies to refrain from teaching `` critical race theory , '' which came at the urging of President Trump .
On Nov. 13 , the Inspector General of the Air Force , through the Director of Senior Official @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does not violate these directives .
The ruling provided no analysis or reasoning .
It simply concluded , `` There is insufficient evidence to indicate wrongdoing and an inadequate basis to warrant further investigation .

TRENDING : Pence to decide race ?
Law profs say VP allowed to 'count ' electoral votes One could speculate that the Inspector General 's office denied the complaint because the coaches never expressly endorsed the organization Black Lives Matter , rather simply asserted that `` black lives matter .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ black lives matter , especially in the context of a video that alleges institutional racism , necessarily implies that there are many Americans who believe that black lives do not matter .
Further , statements such as , `` Blacks are not treated as equal in our society '' are clearly political , not to mention made without support .

Despite the various defeats in court and the Jan. 20 inauguration steadily approaching, Trump has vowed to fight on, claiming that swing states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan were "stolen" due to voter fraud, handing the electoral victory to President-elect Biden.
During Avlon's "reality check" segment on Wednesday, he pointed to Trump supporters who've displayed signs that read "Defend Democracy," "Stop the Steal" and "Stand for Truth," calling them "admirable emotions." However, he told them that they "don't fit the objective reality of what you're actually fighting."

Dr. Jane Orient , the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons , urged the committee to exercise its oversight over federal agencies that are `` effectively blocking treatment that could prevent 100,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the destruction of millions of livelihoods . ''
`` Today 's top-down , authority-based 'standard of care ' for early COVID , promulgated in NIH guidelines , is therapeutic nihilism , '' she said in her prepared statement .

''
Other witnesses were Ramin Oskoui , the CEO of Foxhall Cardiology in Washington , D.C. ; Jean-Jacques Rajter , a pulmonologist at Broward Health Medical Center in Florida ; Pierre Kory , associate professor of medicine at St. Luke 's Aurora Medical Center ; Armand Balboni , CEO of Appili Therapeutics Inc. ; and Jayanta Bhattacharya , professor of medicine at Stanford University .

`` His severe symptoms were relieved within hours . ''
She said doctors report that they ca n't get hydroxychloroquine for their nursing home patients .
Orient insisted that randomized controlled trials do n't support the quarantines , masks and lockdowns .

`` The doctors who have had the courage to follow the Hippocratic oath and use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ using hydroxychloroquine have been scorned and state medical boards have threatened to withdraw their licenses , '' the senator said .
Johnson said he has publicly advocated for `` allowing doctors to be doctors , to practice medicine , explore different therapies and share their knowledge within the medical community and with the public . ''
On Tuesday , Dr. Kory presented evidence that another blocked drug that is inexpensive and widely available , ivermectin , prevents infection and saves lives .
`` Although we , like many , are extremely encouraged by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we also are dismayed at the near complete absence of guidance and research on effective early , at-home , or preventative treatment options apart from vaccines , a reality we find unconscionable , '' he said in his statement .
Kory said he and his colleagues are `` worried that if our call to action is not followed through , confidence in our health care leaders and agencies will be irreparably tarnished . ''
`` Inaction in front of mounting evidence of safety and effectiveness during a catastrophic pandemic may also compromise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` We will look back to the impact that actions versus inaction had on the U.S. and the globe two months from now , '' Kory said .
`` If we do nothing , the present trend will continue .
History will judge . ''
Kory and his colleagues held a press conference last week in Houston : Oskoui pointed to a physician called by Democrats to testify at the previous hearing , Dr. Ashish Jha , dean of Brown University ’ s School of Public Health , who does n't treat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hydroxychloroquine .
`` In this crisis , doctors who are actually treating patients , unlike [ Jha ] , are practicing medicine by trying different treatments to attack the virus early and give their patients hop , '' Oskoui said .
`` They should not be ridiculed , vilified , our worse . ''
He said the `` establishment needs to be shaken up . ''
`` The normal order of business will not be enough to defeat COVID-19 , '' he said .
Oskoui said there 's `` too much regulation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
`` This crisis is a wake-up call .
We need to set aside the old ways of doing things in Washington , innovate together and get our country back to work , '' he said .

Dr. Jane Orient, the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, urged the committee to exercise its oversight over federal agencies that are "effectively blocking treatment that could prevent 100,000 needless deaths and stop the crippling fear and the destruction of millions of livelihoods."

"This is shocking and unprecedented, but in today’s litigious
environment," she said, doctors who "dare prescribe" a drug proven to effectively treat COVID-19 like hydroxychloroquine could be "fired, removed from insurance panels, investigated, or even delicensed."
Other witnesses were Ramin Oskoui, the CEO of Foxhall Cardiology in Washington, D.C.; Jean-Jacques Rajter, a pulmonologist at Broward Health Medical Center in Florida; Pierre Kory, associate professor of medicine at St. Luke's Aurora Medical Center; Armand Balboni, CEO of Appili Therapeutics Inc.; and Jayanta Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University.

She said doctors report that they can't get hydroxychloroquine for their nursing home patients.

"They have not stopped the pandemic and are unsustainable," she said.

In the first hearing, in November, as WND reported, the panel's chairman, Johnson, noted hydroxychloroquine was used as a "weapon" in the presidential election after it was promoted by President Trump.
"The doctors who have had the courage to follow the Hippocratic oath and use their off-label prescription rights to treat patients using hydroxychloroquine have been scorned and state medical boards have threatened to withdraw their licenses," the senator said.
Johnson said he has publicly advocated for "allowing doctors to be doctors, to practice medicine, explore different therapies and share their knowledge within the medical community and with the public."
Inaction in front of mounting evidence
On Tuesday, Dr. Kory presented evidence that another blocked drug that is inexpensive and widely available, ivermectin, prevents infection and saves lives.
"Although we, like many, are extremely encouraged by the apparent successes in developing effective vaccines, we also are dismayed at the near complete absence of guidance and research on effective early, at-home, or preventative treatment options apart from vaccines, a reality we find unconscionable," he said in his statement.
Kory said he and his colleagues are "worried that if our call to action is not followed through, confidence in our health care leaders and agencies will be irreparably tarnished."
"Inaction in front of mounting evidence of safety and effectiveness during a catastrophic pandemic may also compromise widespread vaccination support," he warned.
"We will look back to the impact that actions versus inaction had on the U.S. and the globe two months from now," Kory said. "If we do nothing, the present trend will continue. History will judge."
Kory and his colleagues held a press conference last week in Houston:
Oskoui pointed to a physician called by Democrats to testify at the previous hearing, Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of Brown University’s School of Public Health, who doesn't treat COVID patient but condemned the use of hydroxychloroquine.
"In this crisis, doctors who are actually treating patients, unlike [Jha], are practicing medicine by trying different treatments to attack the virus early and give their patients hop," Oskoui said. "They should not be ridiculed, vilified, or worse."
He said the "establishment needs to be shaken up."
"The normal order of business will not be enough to defeat COVID-19," he said.
Oskoui said there's "too much regulation, too much cronyism, too much corruption."
"This crisis is a wake-up call. We need to set aside the old ways of doing things in Washington, innovate together and get our country back to work," he said. "We need to investigate why the NIH, academic medicine and the CDC failed us so badly."
'Government failure'
Bhattacharya began by noting that early in the epidemic, the World Health Organization publicized a "very misleading 3.4% case fatality rate that panicked the world."
The rate has turned out to be closer to one-tenth of 1%, but in any case, "for the typical person infected, the usual outcome spans the range from no symptoms whatsoever, to a mild cold, to the severe viral pneumonia that the media highlights."
Bhattacharya cited the Great Barrington Declaration he co-sponsored, which has two planks.
"For older people, COVID-19 is a deadly disease that should be met with overwhelming resources aimed at protecting them wherever they are, whether in nursing homes, at their own home, in the workplace, or multi-generational homes," he said. "They should be prioritized for vaccines, and we should be actively seeking widely available and effective treatments."
But for "the non-vulnerable, who face far greater harm from the lockdowns than they do from COVID-19 infection risk, the lockdowns should be lifted and – for those who so decide – normal life resumed."
Bhattacharya said the National Institutes of Health's "relative lack of interest in the rapid randomized evaluation of non-patented drug evaluation represents a government failure that has likely led to worse COVID-19 outcomes than we would have had otherwise."
