The authors of a momentous study that claimed that hydroxychloroquine raised the risks of death for coronavirus patients treated with the controversial malaria drug have retracted their research.
The retraction was published in the Lancet on Thursday, and comes just two days after the medical journal posted an ‘expression of concern.’
Along with the publication, more than 120 prominent scientists raised questions about the data used in the study, which was sourced from a database run by a private company, Surgisphere.
On the heels of that research’s May publication, international trials of the drug were halted – but the World Health Organization (WHO) announced Wednesday it would restart the hydroxychloroquine arm of its international SOLIDARITY trial.
And President Donald Trump himself continued to take the drug he dubbed a ‘game-changer’ in the hopes it would prevent infection.
The research, led by Dr Mandeep Mehra of Harvard Medical School, Dr Amit Patel of the University of Utah and Dr Frank Ruschitzka of the University Hospital Zurich, has been under outside review.
But Surgisphere refused to transfer its data to the auditors, citing patient privacy. As a result, the review was cut short and the study was retracted.
‘We can no longer vouch for the veracity of the primary data sources,’ the authors wrote to The Lancet in their retraction.

Columnist Paul Krugman: Trump may have cooked the books for strong May jobs report By Washington Examiner, June 5, 2020 New York Times columnist Paul Krugman speculated President Trump got the Bureau of Labor Statistics to skew its May jobs report to create a rosier picture of the economy. Krugman, who won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, reacted with skepticism on Friday after the Labor Department announced unemployment had dropped to 13.3% when many economists expected the rate to soar above 20% because of the coronavirus pandemic’s effect on the economy. “Well, the BLS reports a GAIN in jobs and a FALL in unemployment, which almost nobody saw coming. Maybe it’s true, and the BLS is definitely doing its best, but you do have to wonder what’s going on,” Krugman wrote. “I’ve been through a number of episodes over the years in which official numbers tell a story at odds with what more informal evidence suggests; often it turns out that there was something quirky (NOT fraudulent) about the official numbers.” “This being the Trump era, you can’t completely discount the possibility that they’ve gotten to the BLS, but it’s much more likely that the models used to produce these numbers — they aren’t really raw data — have gone haywire in a time of pandemic,” he wrote. “Whatever happened, these numbers should make you more, not less, pessimistic about the economic outlook.

Krugman’s suggestion drew some pushback on social media. Jason Furman, who was the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Barack Obama, said that Krugman should “100% discount the possibility that Trump got to the BLS,” adding, “BLS has 2,400 career staff of enormous integrity and one political appointee with no scope to change this number.” Erica Groshen, a former Commissioner of Bureau of Labor Statistics, agreed, noting that there were “no red flags” in the data. “As former BLS Commissioner, I see no red flags.

ONE MILLION Unhinged Leftists Expected to Attend Protests in DC This Weekend — And Crackpot Mayor Just Evicted ALL National Guard Units By Jim Hoft, June 5, 2020: There are reports that One Million leftists will converge on Washington DC this weekend to resume their protests over the death of George Floyd.

School Districts Across The Country Move To Cut Contracts With Local Police By Jennie Taer, Sara Carter, June 5, 2020 A number of school districts in the United States are moving to cut contracts with local police as riots break out across the country against police brutality and as the Black Lives Matter movement pressures politicians to defund the police altogether. Earlier this week, the Minneapolis Public School Board voted to end its contract with MPD over the death of George Floyd. “I value people and education and life,” school board chairwoman Kim Ellison said in an interview. “Now I’m convinced, based on the actions of the Minneapolis Police Department, that we don’t have the same values.” Two members of the Denver school board are urging the district to cut contracts with DPD and are set to bring a resolution forward Monday to have officers completely removed from the schools in the district by 2021. “Our numbers show us that black children are still three to five times more likely to refereed to law enforcement or suspension, respectively, and again some of our own practices have introduced students to a normalization an internalization of their place, which is not something we want to contribute to anymore,” Denver Board of Education Vice President Jennifer Bacon told reporters. “School resource officers are not needed to ensure the safety of all of our kids,” board Secretary Tay Anderson said of the move. The superintendent of Portland Public Schools, Guadalupe Guerrero, said Thursday that he’s ‘discontinuing’ school officers’ presence in the city’s schools. Some in Chicago have also petitioned their leaders to do the same.

pamelagellerreport--2020-06-05--Terror-Linked CAIR Sues Arizona Community College for Teaching the Truth about Islam and Terrorism

For years , leftist and Muslim academics have ensured that all college and university courses about Islam and the Middle East were essentially vehicles for dawah , Islamic proselytizing , and that they covered up any connection between Islam and the jihad terrorist violence committed in its name and in accord with its teachings .
H0wever , Nicholas Damask of Scottsdale Community College stepped off the reservation , and now Hamas-CAIR is determined to destroy him for it .
And note how they ’ re doing it : telling the truth about Islam and jihad , about how terrorists justify @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is “ poisoning the minds of students.
” Damask used the work of counterterror analyst Walid Phares , and so Hamas-CAIR invokes its previous smears of Phares to suggest that he is not a reliable authority , and only the deceptive Islamic apologists who lie about Islam are to be consulted .
This suit should be thrown out immediately on the grounds of academic freedom and the freedom of speech , in addition to the fact that everything Damask taught was accurate .
But the left so dominates the courts these days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Muslim student sues Scottsdale Community college and professor over Islam quiz questions , ” by Lorraine Longhi , Arizona Republic , June 3 , 2020 : A local Islamic group filed a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court against Scottsdale Community College and one of its professors for teaching material that it says condemns Islam .
A student and the Arizona chapter of the Council for American-Islamic Relations ( CAIR ) filed the lawsuit , asking that SCC and professor Nicholas Damask stop teaching the materials in question until they “ do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Islam.
” The lawsuit comes after the student , Mohamed Sabra , posted three quiz questions from a world politics class to social media last month , igniting a firestorm of online criticism that caused the college ’ s interim President Christina Haines to apologize for the “ inaccurate ” and “ inappropriate ” questions .
Haines also said Damask would apologize to the student and remove the questions from his curriculum .
Damask pushed back , saying he had no intention of apologizing and that his academic freedom was being threatened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ District , of which SCC is a part , stepped in and said the questions posted on social media were taken out of context and fell within the scope of the course .
Chancellor Steven Gonzales said he would launch a Committee on Academic Freedom and pursue an investigation into how the controversy was handled .

“ We don ’ t need our professors inflaming those seeds of hatred in students.
” Damask told The Arizona Republic Wednesday that he had not yet been served the lawsuit and had no immediate comment .
A spokesman for the district said they had not been served the lawsuit and could not yet comment on the allegations .
Sabra was enrolled in Damask ’ s online world politics course , which featured lessons on Islamic terrorism .
According to the lawsuit , Damask repeatedly condemned Islam as a religion that definitively @ @ @ @ @ @ @ posted screenshots from the quiz to social media , where they were quickly shared through social media by several influencers and Muslim community members .
The quiz included statements such as “ Contemporary terrorism is Islamic ” and “ Terrorism is justified within the context of Jihad in Islam.

The lawsuit says that Sabra answered the questions based on how Muslims practice their religion , but the answers were marked as incorrect .
“ Mr .

The district-commissioned investigation details an email exchange between the professor and the student about the quiz questions .

“ The course may outline these beliefs but that doesn ’ t make it acceptable to teach this misinformation to other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t fully educated , ” Sabra responded .
“ Please review the questions I ’ ve attached and get back to me ASAP.
” By the time Damask responded the next morning , the student had posted the questions on social media , prompting backlash to the school .
The lawsuit says that Damask asserted in his course that peaceful interpretations of Islam were false , quoting Damask ’ s course material as saying , “ Contentions that Islam does not promote warfare or violence can not be supported on either theological or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statistics that did not contain citations to academic material , according to the lawsuit .

In 2012 , the New York Times reported that Phares “ regularly warns that Muslims aim to take over American institutions and impose Shariah , a legal code based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ punishments like cutting off the hands of a thief.

“Muslim student sues Scottsdale Community college and professor over Islam quiz questions,” by Lorraine Longhi, Arizona Republic, June 3, 2020:
A local Islamic group filed a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court against Scottsdale Community College and one of its professors for teaching material that it says condemns Islam.
A student and the Arizona chapter of the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed the lawsuit, asking that SCC and professor Nicholas Damask stop teaching the materials in question until they “do not have the primary effect of disapproving of Islam.”
The lawsuit comes after the student, Mohamed Sabra, posted three quiz questions from a world politics class to social media last month, igniting a firestorm of online criticism that caused the college’s interim President Christina Haines to apologize for the “inaccurate” and “inappropriate” questions.
Haines also said Damask would apologize to the student and remove the questions from his curriculum. Damask pushed back, saying he had no intention of apologizing and that his academic freedom was being threatened.
The chancellor of Maricopa Community College District, of which SCC is a part, stepped in and said the questions posted on social media were taken out of context and fell within the scope of the course. Chancellor Steven Gonzales said he would launch a Committee on Academic Freedom and pursue an investigation into how the controversy was handled.
David Chami, an attorney representing CAIR, said the group filed the lawsuit to prevent Damask from “continuing to poison the minds of students.”
“We have enough hate in this country. We have enough divide,” he said. “We don’t need our professors inflaming those seeds of hatred in students.”
Damask told The Arizona Republic Wednesday that he had not yet been served the lawsuit and had no immediate comment.
A spokesman for the district said they had not been served the lawsuit and could not yet comment on the allegations.
Controversy sparked by quiz questions
Sabra was enrolled in Damask’s online world politics course, which featured lessons on Islamic terrorism.
According to the lawsuit, Damask repeatedly condemned Islam as a religion that definitively teaches terrorism.
In May, Sabra posted screenshots from the quiz to social media, where they were quickly shared through social media by several influencers and Muslim community members.
The quiz included statements such as “Contemporary terrorism is Islamic” and “Terrorism is justified within the context of Jihad in Islam.” The quiz also asserted that Islamic terrorists strive to emulate the Prophet Muhammed.
The lawsuit says that Sabra answered the questions based on how Muslims practice their religion, but the answers were marked as incorrect.
“Mr. Sabra was forced to make a decision; either disavow his religion or be punished by getting the answers wrong on the quiz,” the lawsuit says.
The district-commissioned investigation details an email exchange between the professor and the student about the quiz questions.
Damask attempted to explain that the goal of the quiz was to discuss the motivation of terrorists, not whether something is right or wrong under Islamic doctrine, according to the report.
“The course may outline these beliefs but that doesn’t make it acceptable to teach this misinformation to other student[s] who aren’t fully educated,” Sabra responded. “Please review the questions I’ve attached and get back to me ASAP.”
By the time Damask responded the next morning, the student had posted the questions on social media, prompting backlash to the school.
Misinterpreting Islam?
The lawsuit says that Damask asserted in his course that peaceful interpretations of Islam were false, quoting Damask’s course material as saying, “Contentions that Islam does not promote warfare or violence cannot be supported on either theological or historical grounds.”
Damask also presented several statistics that did not contain citations to academic material, according to the lawsuit. One of those statistics cited in the lawsuit compares killings by Islamic terrorists to slayings by groups like the Ku Klux Klan, saying, “Islamic terrorists kill on average more people every 90 days than the number of blacks killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire 120+ year history.”
Damask never included any discussion of the Ku Klux Klan, Nazis, militant fascism or neo-conservativism and their “scripture-based terrorism” against minorities in the United States, according to the lawsuit.
“It is an unquestionable fact that the Ku Klux Klan espoused Protestant Christian ideologies to wage terror in the United States in an attempt to create their own nation-state, and even believed that Jesus was the first Klansman,” the lawsuit read. “However, none of this material is discussed in any of Defendant Damask’s modules, despite its impact on national and international politics.”
CAIR said the course’s only reading material came from articles written by anti-Islam extremists, including an excerpt from the book “Future Jihad” by Walid Phares.
Phares has served as a commentator on terrorism for Fox News and as an adviser to Mitt Romney and Donald Trump during their presidential campaigns. Phares was a high-ranking official in a religious militia that was responsible for massacres during Lebanon’s 15-year civil war, according to an investigation by Mother Jones.
In 2012, the New York Times reported that Phares “regularly warns that Muslims aim to take over American institutions and impose Shariah, a legal code based mainly on the Koran that can involve punishments like cutting off the hands of a thief.”
In its lawsuit, CAIR calls Phares “a known Islamophobe who openly promotes anti-Muslim ideologies.”
“Don’t you think you should have disclosed that to your students or put a disclaimer?” Raees Mohamed,an attorney representing CAIR, said. “What we see is an utter lack of true academic discussion.”…

I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups.” While the tweet provoked criticism from the Satmar ultra-Orthodox sect, whose leaders had organized the funeral, some in the sect defended the mayor from other critics. “We strongly denounce the vicious attacks against the Mayor, particularly those accusing him of anti-Semitism,” wrote Mayer Rispler, head of a Satmar faction. “The close relationship between Mr. De Blasio and our community goes back close to two decades…We consider him a dear friend.” Since the incident, the NYPD has shut down several yeshivas operating in defiance of lockdown orders. Last week, however, demonstrations protesting the death of George Floyd, an African American man killed during arrest by white officers, spread across the city. Those demonstrations have devolved into looting and rioting. Rioters and even peaceful protesters have not adhered to social-distancing guidelines. “You don’t get to pick and choose First Amendment freedoms. You don’t get to side with protesters and slough off churches and synagogues,” Senator Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) said in response to de Blasio’s decision to keep businesses and religious institutions closed. “Americans ought to hope that New York City is sued so that Bill de Blasio’s nonsense gets laughed out of court.”

pamelagellerreport--2020-06-05--Joe Biden: 10 To 15% Of Americans ‘Are Just Not Very Good People’

Insulting millions of Americans is a brilliant strategy Like when Hillary called us ‘ deplorables.
’ It started a movement .
Joe Biden : 10 To 15 % Of Americans ‘ Are Just Not Very Good People ’ Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said that up to 15 % of Americans are “ not very good people.
” Former Vice President Biden made the statement during an online forum with black supporters on Thursday .
Biden was joined by actor Don Cheadle , who moderated a discussion on the death of George Floyd , police brutality , and racism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ The words a president says matter , so when a president stands up and divides people all the time , you ’ re going to get the worst of us to come out , ” Biden said .
“ Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation ?
I don ’ t think the vast majority of people think that , ” Biden continued .
“ There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 % of the people out there that are just not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not who we are .
The vast majority of the people are decent , and we have to appeal to that and we have to unite people — bring them together .
Bring them together.
” Later on in the discussion , Biden said he could empathize with black Americans who have faced racism because he grew up being bullied .
“ I ’ m a white man , ” he said .
“ I think I understand but I can ’ t feel it .
I feel it but I don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like to be a black man walking down the street and be accosted , or to be arrested or , God forbid , something worse.
” Biden ’ s “ 10 to 15 % ” comment is reminiscent of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ’ s Sept. 9 , 2016 gaffe when she labeled millions of Americans “ deplorables.
” As The Daily Wire reported at the time : At a glitzy fundraiser in New York on Friday night , Hillary Clinton effectively insulted millions of Americans in a statement that was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and substance , than Mitt Romney ’ s obsessively-scrutinized “ 47 percent ” comment .
Speaking to an audience of high-profile liberal celebrity donors , including Barbara Streisand and Laverne Cox , Clinton condemned exactly “ half ” of all Trump supporters , claiming that they come from a “ basket of deplorables.
” “ To just be grossly generalistic , you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables , ” Clinton snickered .
“ Right ?
Racist , sexist , homophobic , xenophobic , Islamaphobic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ half , she qualified , are fed up with the government .
Clinton apologized for the remark a day later , saying she was wrong to criticize “ half ” of then-candidate Donald Trump ’ s supporters .
“ I regret saying ‘ half ’ – that was wrong , ” Clinton said , before turning her criticisms on Trump directly .
“ It ’ s deplorable that Trump has built his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia and given a national platform to hateful views and voices.
” Despite her apology , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dogged her for the rest of her ultimately losing campaign .
Many supporters of President Trump have adopted her phrase and still show up to rallies with the president toting signs saying “ Proud Deplorable ” or some other play on the term .

Insulting millions of Americans is a brilliant strategy Like when Hillary called us ‘deplorables.’ It started a movement.
Joe Biden: 10 To 15% Of Americans ‘Are Just Not Very Good People’

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said that up to 15% of Americans are “not very good people.”
Former Vice President Biden made the statement during an online forum with black supporters on Thursday. Biden was joined by actor Don Cheadle, who moderated a discussion on the death of George Floyd, police brutality, and racism, according to The New York Times.
“The words a president says matter, so when a president stands up and divides people all the time, you’re going to get the worst of us to come out,” Biden said.
“Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation? I don’t think the vast majority of people think that,” Biden continued. “There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15% of the people out there that are just not very good people, but that’s not who we are. The vast majority of the people are decent, and we have to appeal to that and we have to unite people — bring them together. Bring them together.”
Later on in the discussion, Biden said he could empathize with black Americans who have faced racism because he grew up being bullied.
“I’m a white man,” he said. “I think I understand but I can’t feel it. I feel it but I don’t know what it’s like to be a black man walking down the street and be accosted, or to be arrested or, God forbid, something worse.”
Biden’s “10 to 15%” comment is reminiscent of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Sept. 9, 2016 gaffe when she labeled millions of Americans “deplorables.”
As The Daily Wire reported at the time:
At a glitzy fundraiser in New York on Friday night, Hillary Clinton effectively insulted millions of Americans in a statement that was far more pernicious, in both tone and substance, than Mitt Romney’s obsessively-scrutinized “47 percent” comment. Speaking to an audience of high-profile liberal celebrity donors, including Barbara Streisand and Laverne Cox, Clinton condemned exactly “half” of all Trump supporters, claiming that they come from a “basket of deplorables.” “To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton snickered. “Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.” The other half, she qualified, are fed up with the government.
Clinton apologized for the remark a day later, saying she was wrong to criticize “half” of then-candidate Donald Trump’s supporters.
“I regret saying ‘half’ – that was wrong,” Clinton said, before turning her criticisms on Trump directly. “It’s deplorable that Trump has built his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia and given a national platform to hateful views and voices.”
Despite her apology, Clinton’s “deplorables” comment dogged her for the rest of her ultimately losing campaign. Many supporters of President Trump have adopted her phrase and still show up to rallies with the president toting signs saying “Proud Deplorable” or some other play on the term.

Pelosi: Israeli ‘annexation’ of West Bank ‘undermines US national security interests’ Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi also accused President Donald Trump of “acquiescence” amid the rise in anti-Semitism in the United States and abroad
By JNS, June 4, 2020
U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned on Thursday that if Israel were to apply sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria, that it would undermine U.S. national security and upend bipartisan support for the Jewish state.
During a virtual event with the Jewish Democratic Council of America, Pelosi said that “unilateral annexation puts [the] future at risk and undermines U.S. national security interests … and decades of bipartisan policy.”
Pelosi cited a U.S. House of Representatives resolution that passed mostly along party lines in December – with most Democrats voting for it, and most Republicans voting against it – reaffirming support for the two-state solution to the seven-decade-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The resolution emphasized the U.S.-Israel relationship on issues from national security to shared values such as “democracy, human rights and the rule of law.”
At the same time, it also stated, “Whereas the United States has long sought a just and stable future for Palestinians, and an end to the occupation, including opposing settlement activity and moves toward unilateral annexation in Palestinian territory.”
Pelosi also accused President Donald Trump of “acquiescence” amid the rise in anti-Semitism in the United States and abroad.
“He has created a climate in which this has become more accept[able],” she said, citing Trump’s responses in the aftermath of the 2017 Charlottesville protests, which tuned violent over the attempt to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
In December, Trump signed an executive order combatting anti-Semitism in the United States.
