Last week’s column, you’ll recall, dissected the inconsistent, nonsensical, and farcical implementation of “social distancing” in America. To helpfully underscore my point after the column had been filed, the loudest self-quarantining mouth of the administration, Ivanka “We’re All In This Together” Trump, flouted the travel rules herself by fleeing D.C. with her husband and children for Passover. But I digress. Others have chronicled the lack of evidence worldwide that “social distancing” is making any significant dent in flattening the coronavirus curve. Dissidents who must remain anonymous have observed that isolation strategies may be making matters worse by delaying development of herd immunity. Skepticism and anger toward the credibility-damaged public health-industrial complex are now spilling over into the Instagram comments of control freak Bill Gates, who wants us all locked up until his vaccine is ready. The elites can no longer contain the public backlash and open defiance against this ineffectual madness.
Enter CNN-SPLC.
Now that a grass-roots revolt against Draconian lockdown measures is underway (Trump himself tweeted “Liberate Michigan, Minnesota, and Virginia” this morning), CNN-SPLC has pulled out the big rhetorical guns. Anyone who dares question the pandemic sacred cow of social distancing is a…“denier.”
Left-wing character assassins seek to discredit the Michigan protesters by linking them to…me.
The Michigan Conservative Coalition is a far-right, fringe group that has peddled right-wing memes featuring Pepe the Frog and Islamophobic memes on its Facebook page. They recently hosted an event featuring Michelle Malkin, a far-right pundit who has defended white nationalists and holocaust deniers.
Yes, I did do an event with the great patriots at the Michigan Conservative Coalition, who defied ConInc cancel culture.
Yes, I did defend the America First kids who challenged and exposed the open-borders, Israel First ambassadors of TPUSA and YAF.
So?
When all else fails, the scoundrels retreat to the refuge of “anti-Semitism.”
It was only a matter of time before guilt-by-“denial”-association infected the public pandemic discourse. Not coincidentally, several dissidents on social media leading the protest charge against lockdowns were banned last night.

Of course, CNN and the rest of the media’s own denialism, not to mention the World Health Organization’s, must not be questioned.
Inconvenient questions = HATE.
All officially-designated “HATE” (TM) = “anti-Semitic.”
Social distancing dissent = Holocaust denial.
Voila!

President Donald Trump unleashed his “April surprise” on Monday night, sending shock waves from the Beltway Swamp to Silicon Valley with a long-overdue announcement: “In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens,” he declared, “I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!”
The usual suspects inveighed against the still-unseen proposal early Tuesday morning. My inbox was flooded with twitching and moaning from Americans for Prosperity, the Koch Foundation-funded outfit, which called a freeze the “wrong approach” and the Southern Poverty Law Center, which ranted (as usual) about “white nationalists” and “racism.” The infuriated Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the “irrational and insidious” plan (that no one had yet seen) and called for “people of all decency” to “denounce this xenophobic agenda.” Lawsuits are already being prepared against an executive order that hasn’t been written or signed.
For nonhysterical observers of the Trump administration, however, the outcome was perfectly obvious: initial excitement followed by abject letdown as actual details have trickled out over the last 24 hours.
Do not forget: 22 million American workers across the wage scale are out of work as a result of pandemic-induced lockdowns and layoffs. Dire straits demand extreme measures. The well-being of our native workforce and the millions of families dependent upon them must be Washington’s top priority, not big business, big agriculture, Silicon Valley, academia or foreign countries clamoring to send their students and workers here to replace ours.
Despite White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany crediting Trump on Tuesday morning for understanding that “(d)ecades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens,” at his Tuesday evening press conference, Trump revealed that the prematurely heralded and scorned immigration suspension will last a mere 60 days and will exempt temporary foreign visa holders.
Head. Bang. Desk. This is a cynical betrayal of the burgeoning “America First” movement. It’s all moratorium hat and no cattle:
—All new green card applications and routine visa processing were already suspended on March 20.
—Refugee resettlement was already suspended the same week and is scheduled to be frozen until at least May 15 (although more than 1,000 Afghan refugees were flown in over the past month while the rest of us have been ordered shut in our own homes).
—Foreign travelers from China and Europe, plus Canada and Mexico, were already barred from entering (though thousands of H-2A and H-2B agricultural and seasonal workers got in and some 35,000 more expect a green light despite virus outbreaks at Chinese-owned meat plants packed with foreign laborers).
—The annual H-1B lottery for Chinese and Indian tech workers was completed last month and a total of 475,000 H-1Bs are safe while untold thousands of American STEM students, graduates and workers lost their livelihoods.
ORDER IT NOW
—Despite massive layoffs of H-1B workers in tech, there is no move to send them home. Instead, immigration lawyers are outrageously advising H-1B and other temporary visa holders (including those in the L-1, B-1 and R categories) that they are eligible for stimulus checks.
—More than a million F-1 foreign student visa holders remain in the country, including nearly 400,000 from China, as do hundreds of thousands of foreign students who secured Optional Practical Training work permits in STEM fields, displacing American workers.
—More than 4,000 J-1 foreign health worker visas were freed up earlier this month while American medical professionals lost their jobs. The American Medical Association, which has artificially suppressed the supply of doctors for decades to inflate wages, is whining about shortages and pressuring to relax J-1 rules and time limits even further.
The clamor for an immigration moratorium has been steadily rising, from Pat Buchanan’s advocacy, dating back to his first presidential campaign in 1992, to immigration hawk Jeff Sessions’ call for an employment-based visa freeze last week. With a whopping 79% of Americans now in favor of a full halt to immigration (according to a recent USA Today/Ipsos poll), this was Trump’s golden opportunity to seize momentum. Instead, we got a mess of squander and blunder.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is more interested in appeasing India than protecting American workers. White House adviser Jared Kushner and his top aide Christopher Liddell (former Microsoft executive) have prioritized appeasing Apple and Amazon. I’ve learned from insiders that there are at least 15 categorical exemptions on the table and more in the works.
A one-time, 60-day Swiss Cheese-holed farce of an immigration ban will do far more harm than good for Donald Trump. Think about it this way: Various illegal immigration ethnic blocs have been granted “Temporary Protected Status” continuously since 2001. Why do hordes of foreigners get a permanent reprieve while American citizens will be asked to settle for a measly comma before getting drowned again in mass migration? The executive order should cover all foreign influxes and should be renewed for at least as long as the longest TPS extensions: 19 years.
We need Permanent Protected Status for American citizens. Full stop.

The Great Toilet Paper Scare of 2020 has come to end, but don’t breathe a sigh of relief just yet. The Spring Meat Stampede is here.
At my local Costco in Colorado Springs on Monday, fresh chicken breast was nowhere to be found. Nationwide, bacon prices doubled. Wholesale pork prices for ham, ribs and loins rose between 12% and 32% over the last seven days. COVID-19 outbreaks among the nation’s major meat processing plants have shut down nearly 20% of the country’s fresh pork production. Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods has shuttered five facilities so far because of sick and no-show workers; Tyson Foods warns “the food supply is breaking” and “millions of pounds of meat will disappear” by May 1 after the mega-corporation idled its largest pork plant in Iowa, a beef plant in Washington state and another meatpacking facility in Indiana.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to compel the nation’s biggest meat processors to stay open and stave off shortages. How exactly the feds will “address liability issues” (which Tyson Foods execs complained about to Trump) and force union leaders to comply remains unclear. Whether the order actually heads off mass hysteria is also iffy. As we saw with the toilet paper rush, Chicken Little-ism is contagious. Warnings about shortages induce shortages. Admonitions of “Don’t hoard the Charmin” failed in the face of mob behavior. Same with “Don’t hoard the hocks.”
With meat prices rising, the economic landscape looks bleak. While gas is less than $2 a gallon, much of the nation is still locked down and off the streets, out of the cars and in no hurry to get on planes or trains. The latest Consumer Price Index summary reveals rising rent prices and costs of medical care services on top of spiking meat prices. With nearly 26 million Americans now out of work, signs of impending stagflation loom. That “V-shaped recovery” is more like a “P.D.” recovery: Pipe Dream.
More candor from all the Beltway “experts” about what we face would be helpful to our suffering citizenry. While we’re at it, this nation must confront the dangers of dependency on the globalized, homogenized methods of producing meat and other key products in our food supply, which is concentrated in the hands of a quarter of giant multinational corporations who press for unlimited alien workers in exchange for low food prices. An estimated 30% of America’s meat production employees are foreign-born. As usual, “Open Borders Inc.” reaps all the benefits while we’re left holding an empty grocery bag.
Let’s remember: Tyson Foods was embroiled in an illegal immigrant smuggling racket two decades ago. The company has paid Swamp lobbyists like Republican Ed Gillespie millions of dollars to push for illegal immigrant amnesty. And Big Meat coordinates with refugee resettlement racketeers to import tens of thousands of cheap laborers from Asia, Africa and Latin America into the heartland.
ORDER IT NOW
Just one example: Tyson fundamentally transformed Waterloo, Iowa, by working with faith-based government contractors to ship in thousands of low-wage Burmese refugees to fill jobs at the meat plant now at the center of a coronavirus outbreak. Since 2002, 9,143 refugees from 37 countries have resettled in Iowa (which doesn’t include so-called secondary migration, or friends and relatives moving to Iowa from their primary settlement location). Taxpayer-subsidized Catholic Charities, Lutheran Services and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants have reaped millions dumping them across Central Iowa — and abandoning them in cultural, linguistic and economic ghettos at the mercy of exploitative employers.
As Refugee Resettlement Watch founder and investigator Ann Corcoran reports, “The dark underbelly of the giant globalist meatpacking industry in the US is being exposed as large numbers of slaughterhouse workers are creating US hotspots for the spread of the Chinese virus.”
A decentralized system of meat and poultry production would enhance food security, national security and public health. Demographic conquest fueled by big business’ insatiable appetite for cheap labor, by contrast, is making us sick to our stomachs in more ways than one.

themichellemalkinblog--2020-05-08--Top 3 Reasons to Doubt the Ahmaud "Just a Jogger" Arbery Narrative, by Michelle Malkin

Do you know who these two race-hustlers are ?
If you pay attention , you know that Black Lives Matter co-founder Shaun King ( a.k.a .
Talcum X , Martin Luther Cream , or W.E.B .
De Fraud ) and lawyer Lee Merritt are Morehouse College buddies who have been partners in anti-white , anti-cop agitation for upwards of two decades .
On Tuesday , King posted a leaked video that immediately went viral of “ Just a Jogger ” Ahmaud Arbery , whose family Merritt represents .
Dissatisfied with the results of a Waycross , Georgia , D.A.
’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two armed white men involved in chasing and fatally shooting Arbery , whom they suspected of burglary , someone in possession of the clip somehow got it into social media master King ’ s hands .
King ’ s post of the purloined video has racked up more than 7 million views , whipping up instant , knee-jerk outrage from LeBron James to Whoopi Goldberg to Joe Biden to some of the same ConInc virtue-signaling simps who threw the Covington boys under the bus .
Gee , who could have leaked the video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emerged ” out of nowhere and rocketed into the media stratosphere ?
If you pay attention , you will recall that Shaun King and Lee Merritt teamed up to perpetrate the Sherita Dixon-Cole hate crime hoax of 2018 .
Dixon-Cole , who is black , falsely accused innocent white Texas state trooper Daniel Hubbard of raping her during a traffic stop .
Her lawyer was Merritt .
King “ broke ” the viral story and everything was going swimmingly until law enforcement released the 2-hour bodycam video showing…no such thing .
The admitted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technicality .
Incredibly , King secured a job with the Harvard-affiliated Fair Punishment Project , which in part conducts research to prevent wrongful convictions and went on to headline the Innocence Project ’ s 2019 annual gathering .
Merritt received no sanctions and went on to perpetrate more frauds and hoaxes .
If you pay attention , you will recall that Shaun King and Lee Merritt also teamed up to perpetrate the Jazmine Barnes hate crime hoax of 2019 .
Seven-year-old Jazmine , who is black , was slain in a drive-by shooting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advisor to the Barnes family .
King used his mighty Twitter platform to spread conspiracy theories of a racist white truck-driving shooter and defame an innocent man named Robert Cantrell , whose family faced death threats as a result of the witch hunt .
The real shooting suspects were black thugs , prompting King to swiftly attempt to cover his tracks and claim phony credit for tipping off the police .
The fiasco prompted several of his old SJW allies to resurrect charges of mishandling past fundraisers .
King and Merritt continue to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exploits .
Last fall , Merritt represented some relatives of Atatiana Jefferson , a black woman reportedly shot by a white Forth Worth police officer while inside her home .
King swooped in with a GoFundMe campaign for his college BFF ’ s client that Jefferson ’ s father called unnecessary , unauthorized , and exploitative .
Let me refresh your memory of more of Shaun King ’ s greatest race fraud hits , which have been duly noted not just watchdogs on the Blue Lives Matter Right , but some of King @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Black Lives Matter Left : In 2014 , King promoted the anti-cop âhands up , donât shootâ lie debunked by none other than the Obama Justice Department , yet he still doesnât care about the truth .
âIâm not going to parse evidence or make some complex technical argument that Michael Brown did or didnât have his hands up , â he defiantly retorted .
âTo me , it doesnât matter if he did or he didnât .
It never has.â …In 2015 , King gloried in the wrongful rape convictions of former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whose flawed case and forensic errors led six internationally renowned scientists to call for a retrial .
He has failed to follow up because , of course , the truth doesnât fit his narrative .
The âjournalistâ also maintained the same obstinate stance after his disgraceful sliming of football star Peyton Manning in 2016 , when he attempted to ride the # MeToo publicity wave by recycling â and woefully misinterpreting â a 13-year-old court filing regarding a settlement with a female trainer who had claimed she was sexually harassed , and then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Instead of admitting error , he played victim .
Which means brings me to the Number 3 reason to doubt the Ahmaud “ Just a Jogger ” narrative : Benjamin Crump .
Merritt , a former intern of Johnnie Cochran , credits Crump as a mentor .
The two were honored as “ BLK Geniuses ” by The Grio .
Crump is also on Ahmaud Arbery ’ s legal team ; the two have been making the media rounds together this week .
If you pay attention , you know that Crump is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown who rocketed to fame perpetuating the âHands up , donât shootâ lie .
He ’ s also representing nine black women in federal civil lawsuit seeking to cash in on the wrongful convictions of Daniel Holtzclaw : Those clients include a convicted felon who preposterously described Holtzclaw as a âshort , black manâ when heâs 6â1 , â half-Japanese , and pale and a convicted felon who denied seven times she had been the victim of any inappropriate police conduct â until a sex-crimes detective informed her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her story to claim that he had forced her to expose her breasts .
Crump also represents the troubled young prostitute and drug user with a violent criminal record who called Holtzclaw a âhot copâ before accusing him of rape â months after Jannie Ligonsâ charges were publicized and Holtzclawâs name and face widely disseminated .
The teenâs mom had filed a missing persons report and assault and battery complaint against her daughter on the day Holtzclaw encountered her and searched her purse .
The Oklahoma City police departmentâs crime lab identified a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ âepithelial cellâ DNA from this accuser on Holtzclawâs uniform pants â the lone piece of indirect forensic evidence found out of 17 alleged crime scenes , which became the prosecutionâs inaccurately portrayed âsmoking gunâ in the case .
Now , King , Merritt , and Crump–three of the most prominent , anti-white hate crime hoaxers in America–are at the heart of the Ahmaud “ Just A Jogger ” narrative .
Thanks to their latest joint campaign , the New York Times reported yesterday , “ Gregory McMichael , 64 , and his son @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charged with murder and aggravated assault and booked into a jail in coastal Glynn County , Ga. ” King pimped the requisite GoFundMe , which has already reached more than twice its goal and raised $ 200,000-plus for Arbery ’ s family .
He also posted the following threats to the McMichaels on Facebook ( which , as you know , has banned Unz.com ) : Will the real vigilantes please stand up ?

Do you know who these two race-hustlers are? If you pay attention, you know that Black Lives Matter co-founder Shaun King (a.k.a. Talcum X, Martin Luther Cream, or W.E.B. De Fraud) and lawyer Lee Merritt are Morehouse College buddies who have been partners in anti-white, anti-cop agitation for upwards of two decades.
On Tuesday, King posted a leaked video that immediately went viral of “Just a Jogger” Ahmaud Arbery, whose family Merritt represents. Dissatisfied with the results of a Waycross, Georgia, D.A.’s decision in February not to arrest two armed white men involved in chasing and fatally shooting Arbery, whom they suspected of burglary, someone in possession of the clip somehow got it into social media master King’s hands. King’s post of the purloined video has racked up more than 7 million views, whipping up instant, knee-jerk outrage from LeBron James to Whoopi Goldberg to Joe Biden to some of the same ConInc virtue-signaling simps who threw the Covington boys under the bus.
I am trembling with anger over what I just witnessed. CLICK AWAY if you need to.

We need ALL HANDS ON DECK.

This is the lynching of Ahmaud Arbery.

It’s one of the worst things I’ve seen in my entire life. 🆘Meet us now @ https://t.co/AIYI5FD2sn to demand justice. pic.twitter.com/7cqn3q737M — Shaun King (@shaunking) May 5, 2020
Gee, who could have leaked the video to King, such that it “emerged” out of nowhere and rocketed into the media stratosphere?
If you pay attention, you will recall that Shaun King and Lee Merritt teamed up to perpetrate the Sherita Dixon-Cole hate crime hoax of 2018. Dixon-Cole, who is black, falsely accused innocent white Texas state trooper Daniel Hubbard of raping her during a traffic stop. Her lawyer was Merritt. King “broke” the viral story and everything was going swimmingly until law enforcement released the 2-hour bodycam video showing…no such thing.
Oops.
The admitted liar was not prosecuted based on a technicality. Incredibly, King secured a job with the Harvard-affiliated Fair Punishment Project, which in part conducts research to prevent wrongful convictions and went on to headline the Innocence Project’s 2019 annual gathering. Merritt received no sanctions and went on to perpetrate more frauds and hoaxes.
If you pay attention, you will recall that Shaun King and Lee Merritt also teamed up to perpetrate the Jazmine Barnes hate crime hoax of 2019. Seven-year-old Jazmine, who is black, was slain in a drive-by shooting in Texas. Merritt was a legal advisor to the Barnes family. King used his mighty Twitter platform to spread conspiracy theories of a racist white truck-driving shooter and defame an innocent man named Robert Cantrell, whose family faced death threats as a result of the witch hunt. The real shooting suspects were black thugs, prompting King to swiftly attempt to cover his tracks and claim phony credit for tipping off the police.
The fiasco prompted several of his old SJW allies to resurrect charges of mishandling past fundraisers. King and Merritt continue to be dogged by criticism of their financial exploits. Last fall, Merritt represented some relatives of Atatiana Jefferson, a black woman reportedly shot by a white Forth Worth police officer while inside her home. King swooped in with a GoFundMe campaign for his college BFF’s client that Jefferson’s father called unnecessary, unauthorized, and exploitative.
Let me refresh your memory of more of Shaun King’s greatest race fraud hits, which have been duly noted not just watchdogs on the Blue Lives Matter Right, but some of King’s own former colleagues on the Black Lives Matter Left:
Which means brings me to the Number 3 reason to doubt the Ahmaud “Just a Jogger” narrative: Benjamin Crump. Merritt, a former intern of Johnnie Cochran, credits Crump as a mentor. The two were honored as “BLK Geniuses” by The Grio. Crump is also on Ahmaud Arbery’s legal team; the two have been making the media rounds together this week.
If you pay attention, you know that Crump is the camera-lovin’ avenging lawyer for the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown who rocketed to fame perpetuating the “Hands up, don’t shoot” lie. He’s also representing nine black women in federal civil lawsuit seeking to cash in on the wrongful convictions of Daniel Holtzclaw:
Those clients include a convicted felon who preposterously described Holtzclaw as a “short, black man” when he’s 6’1,” half-Japanese, and pale and a convicted felon who denied seven times she had been the victim of any inappropriate police conduct — until a sex-crimes detective informed her about the Holtzclaw investigation and she changed her story to claim that he had forced her to expose her breasts. Crump also represents the troubled young prostitute and drug user with a violent criminal record who called Holtzclaw a “hot cop” before accusing him of rape — months after Jannie Ligons’ charges were publicized and Holtzclaw’s name and face widely disseminated. The teen’s mom had filed a missing persons report and assault and battery complaint against her daughter on the day Holtzclaw encountered her and searched her purse. The Oklahoma City police department’s crime lab identified a minute amount of what it characterized as “epithelial cell” DNA from this accuser on Holtzclaw’s uniform pants — the lone piece of indirect forensic evidence found out of 17 alleged crime scenes, which became the prosecution’s inaccurately portrayed “smoking gun” in the case.
ORDER IT NOW
Now, King, Merritt, and Crump–three of the most prominent, anti-white hate crime hoaxers in America–are at the heart of the Ahmaud “Just A Jogger” narrative. Thanks to their latest joint campaign, the New York Times reported yesterday, “Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis McMichael, 34, were each charged with murder and aggravated assault and booked into a jail in coastal Glynn County, Ga.”
King pimped the requisite GoFundMe, which has already reached more than twice its goal and raised \$200,000-plus for Arbery’s family.
He also posted the following threats to the McMichaels on Facebook (which, as you know, has banned Unz.com):

This Mother’s Day weekend, my family defied government pandemania. We drove out east from Colorado Springs to the tiny town of Calhan for a lovely little hike in the purple-and-gold-hued Paint Mines archeological district. Unmasked, we basked in the sunshine, fresh air and freedom. The park was teeming with moms like me who put family bonding over “social distancing.”
We were not alone — and that was a glorious thing.
There is nothing public health fossil Dr. Anthony Fauci can do or say to stop me from making the best choices for my children’s health, sanity and resilience. He appeared before the Senate on Tuesday to heckle states like Colorado not to get back to business — back to life — too soon and too quickly. “Needless suffering and death” will occur, he told The New York Times. “I think we better be careful (that) we are not cavalier in thinking that children are completely immune from the deleterious effects,” he testified.
Irked by Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul’s very necessary reminder that no federal infectious disease bureaucrat is the “end-all” decider of our fate, Fauci warned against reopening schools because children in New York are “presenting with COVID-19 who actually have a very strange inflammatory syndrome, very similar to Kawasaki syndrome.”
How dare you accuse us parents of being “cavalier” with our children’s health, Fauci, when you are scaring them with dubious, unverified claims connecting a few cases of an alleged mystery pediatric disease to the coronavirus?
How dare you toss around so cavalierly the uncorroborated specter of “Kawasaki syndrome” (a rare but treatable disease) while untold numbers among the 57 million K-12 students suffer from the effects of panic-induced anxiety, depression, phobias and isolation?
Here are some actual facts about Fauci’s Kawasaki hype: Peer-reviewed studies over the last several years have identified multiple theories of the inflammatory disease’s etiology, including genetic factors, environmental triggers, superantigens, bacterial infections and viruses. A blinded, case-control retrospective study on kids at Children’s Hospital in Denver investigating whether one strain of human coronavirus infection was a factor among Kawasaki syndrome patients “failed to demonstrate an association.” The Mayo Clinic diseases and conditions information website states that “scientists don’t believe the disease is contagious from person to person.” Moreover, the Mayo Clinic states: “Kawasaki disease is usually treatable, and most children recover from Kawasaki disease without serious problems.”
The truth is that Fauci is misleading American families and educators through arrogant acts of both omission and commission. The Kawasaki lie is not his first or last lie. Before he embraced masks for all, he smugly dismissed the measure in March during a “60 Minutes” interview because it would “make people ‘feel’ a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection people think that it is.”
Now, he says, face coverings “should be a very regular part” of our daily lives.
Dutiful reporters ignore the flip-flop, slavishly acting as stenographers for Fauci and the rest of the dishonest “deep state.” “Masks are here to stay,” The Washington Post Lifestyle section chirped last week. To which I say:
Hell, no.
ORDER IT NOW
As a responsible parent and citizen, I will not let terror rule my children’s lives. I speak from heart-wrenching personal experience over the past five years as my teenage daughter, already battling chronic pain and joint hypermobility requiring multiple surgeries, also suffered from severe clinical OCD that left her unable to do mundane things — like use a public bathroom, eat out at a restaurant or ride in a crowded vehicle. She lost friends. She fell into depression. Her physical and emotional health deteriorated. She was homebound, helplessly trapped in the worst kind of self-imposed lockdown.
Thanks to a brilliant and effective doctor, she learned to confront her fears instead of cowering from them. She learned that avoiding risks at all costs carries its own unacceptable risks. Every member of my family benefited from embracing the exposure therapy ethos. We cannot hide from germs, people or adversity. My daughter has remained strong in the face of mass hysteria and refused to withdraw from the world — working, seeing friends and living life.
As Dr. Judy Mikovits, author of “Plague of Corruption” and star of the documentary, “Plandemic,” which social media platforms have banned everywhere, “Fear is a very powerful immune-suppressant.” By holding our children hostage, federal scare-mongers with vested financial interests and ideological agendas are making our most precious and vulnerable members of the American family sick.
Here in Colorado Springs, two cadets at the Air Force Academy committed suicide while on extreme lockdown.
In Ohio last month, 12-year-old Hayden Hunstable committed suicide after suffering in a “perfect storm” of loneliness under quarantine, his family said. Isolation was a “hidden killer and equally as shocking and horrific as what is happening on the front lines of this disease.”
Where is Fauci’s concern for these invisible victims of the invisible enemy? He’s apparently too busy preparing to jab a new generation of young guinea pigs with his BFF Bill Gates’ shots.
To which I again say: Hell, no.
Teaching your children to live rationally and fearlessly, through words and deeds, is the most potent vaccine we can give them.

themichellemalkinblog--2020-05-20--Stop Training Saudi Arabia's Jihad Pilots, by Michelle Malkin

I ’ m glad the FBI was able to crack the iPhones of the Pensacola naval air base shooter , which confirmed that radicalized Royal Saudi Air Force second lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani had communicated with al-Qaida to carry out a “ special operation.
” Three young American patriots died in Alshamrani ’ s December 2019 attack .
The more information we have to prevent the needless slaughter of U.S. military members on U.S. soil the better .
But Attorney General William Barr ’ s announcement of the Pensacola jihadist ’ s unlocked phones yesterday raises more questions than it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American people been informed yet of basic details regarding how Alshamrani got into our country ?
Why have we resumed foreign flight training while lockdowns have put nearly 37 million citizens out of work â and while national security concerns about the A-2 visa for foreign military trainees remain unresolved ?
Why weren ’ t all temporary foreign visa programs for both civilian and military pilots from around the world immediately frozen as part of President Donald Trump ’ s so-called immigration ban ?
In January , Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and fellow committee members Sens .
Rick Scott , R-Fla. , and Marco Rubio , R-Fla. , asked Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf for a “ timeline of Alshamrani ’ s nonimmigrant visa vetting process , the specific vetting actions conducted , whether he was interviewed by U.S. officials and whether the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) was made aware of any documents provided by the Saudi government indicating terrorist sympathies.
” The letter also sought information on “ how many A visa holders were refused entry by Customs and Border @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were Saudi nationals , as well as details on DHS monitoring of visiting foreign military personnel ’ s social media and any such monitoring conducted in Alshamrani ’ s case.
” Were any red flags shared by Saudi Arabia , and did our consular officials follow up on any warnings ?
The three GOP senators also asked Wolf about what “ diplomatic courtesies or other differences from regular nonimmigrant visa arrivals are afforded on arrival to individuals on an A visa ?
” It ’ s ancient history , but those of us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entrance system remember how lazy and pandering State Department bureaucrats didn ’ t even bother to interview the 9/11 Saudi hijackers in person when they applied for fast-track visas .
The Bush administration set up the so-called “ Visa Express ” program to allow Saudis to skip the lines and wait times .
We also remember that when the FBI was warned before 9/11 by Phoenix-based agent Kenneth Williams that Arab Muslim pilots should be monitored because his investigation found “ a coordinated effort by Usama Bin Laden to send students to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and college , ” the FBI ignored Williams .
He had called on his superiors to conduct nationwide sweeps of aviation schools and surveillance of suspicious visa applicants .
Had the feds done so , of course , Muslim grievance-groups would have been up in arms and hindsight hypocrite columnists like former New York Times ’ finger-wagger Maureen Dowd would have screamed “ Islamophobe ” faster than a speeding bullet .
Government officials insist that the vetting is rigorous .
But a 2017 report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction exposed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trainees from the Middle East have simply disappeared for more than a dozen years .
In 2014 , I reported on the alarming phenomenon of Muslim deserters in 2014 who had been granted visas for serving as interpreters in Afghanistan and Iraq .
“ We generally don ’ t know who we are training .
We have little reliable information , ” one U.S. official told RAND Corp. researchers .
Their study “ found significant problems with current U.S. vetting practices in relation to security assistance.
” Why would we continue to put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ citizens at such unnecessary risk ?
Follow the money .
The Pensacola joint training program was part of the $ 30 billion sale of F-15s to the Saudis â engineered by Hillary Clinton and her pay-for-play State Department .
Is it too much to ask President Trump , who campaigned on “ America first , ” “ build the wall ” and “ drain the swamp , ” to put some flesh on those bones and shut down the Saudi terror pilot pipeline ?

It’s ancient history, but those of us who care about a functioning immigration and entrance system remember how lazy and pandering State Department bureaucrats didn’t even bother to interview the 9/11 Saudi hijackers in person when they applied for fast-track visas.

Had the feds done so, of course, Muslim grievance-groups would have been up in arms and hindsight hypocrite columnists like former New York Times’ finger-wagger Maureen Dowd would have screamed “Islamophobe” faster than a speeding bullet.
Instead, the Bush administration did nothing to stop the inflow of terrorists into our homeland through an alphabet soup of visa programs, including F-1 student visas, B-1 tourists visas, J-1 cultural exchange visas, diversity visas and the A-2s. In 2018-2019, the number of foreign students from Saudi Arabia in the U.S. totaled more than 37,000, 30.2% of whom were admitted to study in STEM/Engineering fields. Moreover, our U.S. military has been training Saudi airmen since 2012 at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas; Eglin AFB, Florida; Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina; and Pensacola Naval Air Station, Florida.
Government officials insist that the vetting is rigorous. But a 2017 report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction exposed how untold numbers of A-2 foreign pilot trainees from the Middle East have simply disappeared for more than a dozen years. In 2014, I reported on the alarming phenomenon of Muslim deserters in 2014 who had been granted visas for serving as interpreters in Afghanistan and Iraq. “We generally don’t know who we are training.

themichellemalkinblog--2020-05-27--H.R. 6666 and Beyond: Who's Cashing In on Contact Tracing, by Michelle Malkin

My column this week focuses on MTX , a “ digital transformation services ” company raking in hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds for contact tracing apps and virtual call centers to monitor American citizens .
I interviewed Texas privacy activist Lynn Davenport about MTX ’ s $ 295 million contract earlier this week .
You can watch here : Look out .
An “ army of contact tracers ” is about to be unleashed on America .
Corporations , political lobbyists and government bureaucracies all win .
Privacy , freedom and family autonomy all lose .
Big time .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ aptly named House Bill 6666 , sponsored by Illinois Dem .
Bobby Rush .
Known as the Testing , Reaching and Contacting Everyone ( TRACE ) Act , the legislation would allocate $ 100 billion in public funding to “ eligible entities ” to “ conduct diagnostic testing for COVID-19 , and related activities such as contact tracing , through mobile health units and , as necessary , at individuals ’ residences , and for other purposes.
” The cash could be used to hunt down infected individuals , quarantine them in their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and subsidize a hiring spree of untold thousands of trackers from nonprofits , schools and medical facilities .
As for “ other purposes , ” the proposal does not define them â leaving Swamp public health bureaucrats and their pet grantees ’ imaginations to run wild .
What recourse or appeals process to citizens have when the “ experts ” get diagnoses and assessments wrong ?
Or when , say , homeschool families refuse to submit to intrusive phone call monitoring or forced quarantine ?
What are the opt-in or opt-out mechanisms ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ these fundamental issues of autonomy and sovereignty .
Feel safer yet ?
This federally supported surveillance-state bonanza comes on top of the $ 631 million in Centers for Disease Control funding for contact tracing already in the pipeline after the passage of the Coronavirus Aid , Relief , and Economic Security ( CARES ) Act , plus another $ 75 billion in proposed contact-tracing spending embedded in the House Democrats ’ supplemental stimulus bill known as the HEROES Act .
Who benefits ?
Let ’ s take one prominent entrant into the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ company called MTX .
Founded in Albany , New York , and now based in Frisco , Texas , the small software company is raking in hundreds of millions of tax dollars to construct “ virtual call centers ” of 25,000 COVID data-mining agents .
In Chicago , MTX has partnered with Google to create an app so residents can “ pre-register ” for the vaunted coronavirus vaccine and receive alerts on treatments and testing .
In Georgia , the company nailed a five-year government contract for a new online contact-tracing platform .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s mission has spread to monitoring jobless claims and child care facilities .
Lynn Davenport , a Texas public school mom and student privacy activist , reports that MTX is “ also donating its newly launched tracking application to all public school districts in the U.S. ” Generous… or opportunist ?
As Davenport and other education technology watchdogs who have documented the proliferation of billions of dollars in invasive student data-mining schemes often remind us : “ When it ’ s free , YOU ( and your children ) are the product.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ free ” apps is access to your kids ’ search engine queries , website and video browsing , and undoubtedly just around the corner : their temperature , weight and mental health .
Contact tracing makes sense for some types of infectious disease epidemics .
But with something as widespread as COVID-19 , with possibly hundreds of millions of asymptomatic people , it amounts to yet another cost-ineffective , virtue-signaling boondoggle .
Sure , they tell us our privacy is guaranteed .
Medical privacy is sacrosanct in America , right ?
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Human Services has quietly relaxed Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act data security and privacy requirements for pandemic testing sites , which will allow Big Pharma interests and other business interests to access previously protected personal health information ?
Nothing to see here ; move along .
If you do try to see and know more , good luck .
Houston Chronicle reporters tried to shed sunlight on MTX ’ s deal with top Texas GOP officials and were lucky to obtain a heavily redacted copy of the company ’ s $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money and mine ) .
You know that creepy phrase “ Operation Warp Speed ” being used to ram a COVID vaccine through expedited , short-circuited clinical trials ?
Well , the same phrase applies to the adoption of these high-stakes contracts .
Both anti-establishment Republicans and Trump-skeptical Democrats in Texas have raised red flags about the failure by Gov .
Greg Abbott to provide advance notice to the state legislature of the enormous deal .
The state took a hasty two days to approve MTX ’ s proposal after putting the project @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rolled out in just a little over two weeks .
Who greased the wheels ?
Follow the money , of course .
The Houston Chronicle revealed that “ The deal appears to have been put together within just a few days… MTX hired Austin-based lobbyists Andrea and Dean McWilliams for up to $ 50,000 each , according to public disclosure documents.
” The McWilliamses are the Matt and Mercedes Schlapp of Texas â consummate insiders and six-figure Bush bundlers looking out for their corporate clients over our constitutional rights and medical freedom .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ America last ” values of the open borders Bush empire .
The firm runs a “ development center ” out of offshore outsourcing hub Hyderabad , India , and CEO Das Nobel aspires to lead a “ diverse ” “ billion-dollar-company ” from which he hopes to “ advance our culture initiatives .

Who benefits? Let’s take one prominent entrant into the “digital transformation services” arena: a company called MTX. Founded in Albany, New York, and now based in Frisco, Texas, the small software company is raking in hundreds of millions of tax dollars to construct “virtual call centers” of 25,000 COVID data-mining agents. In Chicago, MTX has partnered with Google to create an app so residents can “pre-register” for the vaunted coronavirus vaccine and receive alerts on treatments and testing. In Georgia, the company nailed a five-year government contract for a new online contact-tracing platform. In New York and Massachusetts, MTX’s mission has spread to monitoring jobless claims and child care facilities.
ORDER IT NOW
Lynn Davenport, a Texas public school mom and student privacy activist, reports that MTX is “also donating its newly launched tracking application to all public school districts in the U.S.” Generous… or opportunist? As Davenport and other education technology watchdogs who have documented the proliferation of billions of dollars in invasive student data-mining schemes often remind us: “When it’s free, YOU (and your children) are the product.” Never forget: The price of “free” apps is access to your kids’ search engine queries, website and video browsing, and undoubtedly just around the corner: their temperature, weight and mental health.
Contact tracing makes sense for some types of infectious disease epidemics. But with something as widespread as COVID-19, with possibly hundreds of millions of asymptomatic people, it amounts to yet another cost-ineffective, virtue-signaling boondoggle.
Sure, they tell us our privacy is guaranteed. Medical privacy is sacrosanct in America, right? But did you know that the U.S. Health and Human Services has quietly relaxed Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act data security and privacy requirements for pandemic testing sites, which will allow Big Pharma interests and other business interests to access previously protected personal health information?
Nothing to see here; move along.
If you do try to see and know more, good luck. Houston Chronicle reporters tried to shed sunlight on MTX’s deal with top Texas GOP officials and were lucky to obtain a heavily redacted copy of the company’s $295 million contract (paid with your money and mine). You know that creepy phrase “Operation Warp Speed” being used to ram a COVID vaccine through expedited, short-circuited clinical trials? Well, the same phrase applies to the adoption of these high-stakes contracts. Both anti-establishment Republicans and Trump-skeptical Democrats in Texas have raised red flags about the failure by Gov. Greg Abbott to provide advance notice to the state legislature of the enormous deal. The state took a hasty two days to approve MTX’s proposal after putting the project out for bid. The scheme was rolled out in just a little over two weeks.
Who greased the wheels? Follow the money, of course. The Houston Chronicle revealed that “The deal appears to have been put together within just a few days… MTX hired Austin-based lobbyists Andrea and Dean McWilliams for up to $50,000 each, according to public disclosure documents.” The McWilliamses are the Matt and Mercedes Schlapp of Texas — consummate insiders and six-figure Bush bundlers looking out for their corporate clients over our constitutional rights and medical freedom. Not coincidentally, MTX reflects the “America last” values of the open borders Bush empire. The firm runs a “development center” out of offshore outsourcing hub Hyderabad, India, and CEO Das Nobel aspires to lead a “diverse” “billion-dollar-company” from which he hopes to “advance our culture initiatives.”
Where’s our protection from the globalism virus?

I’ve been suspended for this tweet published on May 29, 2020:
Because I appealed, Twitter has completely locked me out of my account — the first time in the twelve years that I have been a user of the site.
Just minutes before the lockout, I had posted excerpts from my #MalkinLive broadcast last night urging Americans to stand on their feet and get up off their knees.
I guess I should have just posted a photo of looters and copied Idris Elba’s threat to “cut the throat” of the system” while warning that “if you ain’t with us/ then you better run.”

Dear law-abiding Americans,
You have done nothing wrong.
Being white is not a crime. Being a Trump voter is not a crime. Being a police officer sworn to “protect and serve” every day is not a crime. Being a non-white police officer proud to uphold and enforce law and order is not a crime. Being a black or brown or yellow American who rejects excuse-making for criminals is not a crime.
Rejecting collective guilt is not a crime. Refusing to acknowledge “white privilege” when you were born poor, or in a broken home, or with physical or psychological challenges, is not a crime. Embracing the historic American nation, instead of erasing it, is not a crime.
Enforcing your private property rights is not a crime. Teaching your wife and children to use a gun in self-defense is not a crime. Owning an AR-15 or two is not a crime.
Do not let the media, Hollywood, academics, or politicians gaslight you. Stop internalizing lies. Who are the criminals? Who are the heroes? Who are the makers and keepers of peace? Who are the sowers and reapers of hate?
The Proud Boys who have guarded their communities and country for the past three years, were lone citizen soldiers in the battle against Antifa that no one else on the ground wanted to fight. The group and its leader, Gavin McInnes, have suffered greatly for trying to stop the violence now raging nationwide. McInnes has been deplatformed everywhere and falsely labeled a “white supremacist.” Scores of Proud Boys of all colors have lost their jobs after being doxxed by Antifa vigilantes. Two Proud Boys are in prison, railroaded by New York Democrats, after a Kafkaesque trial in which the cop-hating Antifa “victims” who lured the Proud Boys into an October 2018 street brawl refused to press charges or testify.
Their crime? These unapologetic Americans stood on their feet, not on their knees.
Journalists and photographers who documented Antifa violence for the past three years, such as Andy Ngo, Chelly Bouferrache, and Brandon Brown in Portland, Oregon, have endured physical assaults, death threats, and harassment. Many others have gone into hiding and suffer in silence.

ORDER IT NOW
Turn off CNN and tune into the facts on the ground. At least 25 Philadelphia cops have been hurt during mob violence this week. It’s an all-out war on the thin blue line. At least 150 cops have been assaulted — four nearly murdered — in New York City as of Tuesday afternoon. Two Buffalo, N.Y., LEOs were run over late Monday night. In addition, fifty-one members of the U.S. Park Police were injured, a Cincinnati cop grazed by a bullet aimed at his head, 4 St. Louis officers shot, one retired St. Louis police captain killed, a Las Vegas Metro cop shot, and a federal officer shot and killed in Oakland—all in the name of peace, tolerance, and reparations.
Yet, against this bloody and retributive backdrop, Democrat leaders in Philadelphia who have coddled looters all week condemned the peacekeeping Fishtown Brigade as a “mob” of “vigilantes.”
Their crime? Standing tall on their feet, not on their knees.
Scot Mendelson, a world record-holding powerlifter, protected his southern California gym on Monday afternoon. “If you’re going to destroy something that somebody worked so hard to build, well, you know what, maybe you should be put down,” he told Fox 11 Los Angeles. “You walk through my door, you threaten my life, I’m aiming for the head.”
Mendelson’s crime? Standing muscle-bound and honor-bound on his feet, not on his knees.
Proud and good people hold their chins and guns up in a crisis. It is how Korean grocers responded when the police abandoned them during the Los Angeles riots in 1992. It is how armed small business owners of all colors are now facing an onslaught of crazed, greedy, and evil barbarians hell-bent on destroying every enforcement bulwark that protects our civil society–from our borders to our neighborhoods to the White House.
Weakness is not strength. Confessing sins for which you bear no guilt is not noble. It makes me sick to my stomach to see virtue-signaling police chiefs kneeling before barking rioters calling them “pigs.” I am nauseated by the sight of sobbing white people groveling for forgiveness before sadistic Black Lives Matter demagogues—as if this will appease the unappeasable. It will not and never will.
America, straighten your spines. Unbow your heads. No home or nation was ever saved by kowtowing to invaders or ransackers. Unless you are praying to God, get up off your knees.

Across our looted plain , statues are under siege .

Across our looted plain, statues are under siege. Smashed. Spray-painted. Shrouded. Expunged. In the name of social justice, we are witnessing the systematic eradication of history. Edifice vigilantes will not rest until all monuments of Western civilization fall.

Trillions of tax dollars have been spent on America’s War on Poverty. We’ve had four decades of affirmative action. A black president held the White House for eight years, with a black First Lady, black attorney general, black homeland security secretary, black transportation secretary, black education secretary, black U.N. ambassador, top black senior advisers, and more than 400 black presidential appointees. It’s never enough.

But it’s still not enough. The monuments must fall.
Here are just a few examples of the indiscriminate ignorance fueling the “Topple the Racists” movement here and abroad:
—In the heart of downtown Colorado Springs, an elegant statue of the city’s founder was defaced last week with multiple “BLM” graffiti tags. General William Jackson Palmer was an extraordinary engineer, railroad builder and philanthropist who fought for the Union in the Civil War as a 25-year-old cavalryman. He won a Medal of Honor for his leadership during a key battle in 1865. After moving to the Rockies and earning enormous wealth, he quietly gave half of his fortune away — including substantial donations to historically black Hampton University in Virginia, which was founded to educate freed slaves.
—In Denver, last week, agitators vandalized a 1909 monument standing outside the Capitol building with swastikas and “FTP” (f—-k the police) slogans. The statue depicts a Union soldier and honors Coloradans who fought and died in the Civil War.
—In the U.K., an anti-Trump outfit disseminated a hit list of statues that must be torn down, including one of former Prime Minister Earl Grey, who presided over the outlawing of slavery. The history erasers have already forced the University of Liverpool to rename its Gladstone Hall to remove reference to the former prime minister and Liberal Party leader William Gladstone. His father was a slave owner, so the monument police have decided that nothing else Gladstone achieved or espoused in four terms in office matters because he did not adequately renounce, disavow and atone for the sins of his father.
So, should Confederate displays, colonial landmarks and slaveholders’ visages be deep-sixed to assuage the #CancelAmerica culture? How do we confront past history if we dismantle it? How does pretending away an entire generation of Americans and their progeny promote “healing”? And where will it end?
ORDER IT NOW
Virginia’s governor, Ralph “Blackface” Northram, announced plans to tear down the Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond, despite the commonwealth’s legal guarantee in 1890 to hold the statue and pedestal “perpetually sacred to the monumental purpose” and to “faithfully guard it and affectionately protect it.” A circuit court issued a 10-day injunction against the landmark’s removal on Monday. But liberal lawyers are outraged that the law might actually, you know, matter.
“I am struggling to understand why the constitution doesn’t *compel* the statue’s removal,” ACLU lawyer Matt Segal fumed on Twitter, “let alone permit its presence.” Oh, and which country’s constitution might that be, Segal?
A Texas Ranger statue was yanked from Love Field in Dallas. Jacksonville, Florida, is purging all Confederate monuments.

Tired of collective groveling that will buy no goodwill. Tired of ingrates who will not stop at “reimagining” America until there is no America left.
In the past, when once-mighty civilizations fell, their statues — like Ozymandias — outlasted them. Now, the barbarians destroy the monuments before time can erode them. What a “colossal Wreck” are we.
