Including Donald Trump . Today his team filed a class has been lawsuit against the zuckerberg cabal, the lead attorneys units as of late to lay out his legal path to victory. But first, power grabs and needle jabs. Thats the focus of tonights angle. Every day, the barbarity of Covid Lockdowns and School Closures becomes more apparent. The great global who love seeing us set in and shut up were fine were our economy destroyed in even turning kids into screaming zombies. The political forces that exploited health fears, the medical officials who became stars by helping them, and the media that covered for them all. All of them should be held accountable. Now, it took a while, but americans are wising up to this charade. Yet despite everything the experts either got it wrong or lied about, they still think that parents should trust them and eject their kids with an experimental drug to prevent a disease almost none of those kids will ever get sick from. Obviously parents need to decide th
Something, hes actually a spy, Intelligence Personnel, spies for the Russian Government, working here with the Cover Story that theyre somehow employed by the embassy. This of course is the worst Cover Story in the world, anyone whos ever read a John Le Carre Story ever or seen a Spy Movie can spot this a mile away, it is an unsubtle cover, but they still do it at their embassies and consulates, presumably we do it too, At Moscow in our embassy and around the world, this is what countries do, they give their spies diplomatic cover. But tonight the u. S. Government has called that bluff that everybody usually goes along with in this part of the Spy World and the u. S. Government has named ten russians basically as Intelligence Personnel who now must leave this country. They are expelled. And this comes as all of a sudden this week we are having lots of big and very definitive moves from the new u. S. President, this new administration, about us in the world, and things that Joe Biden sa
Early, he doubled the goal and said ok not 100 Million shots, but 200 Million shots in 100 days. Todays announcement means that he hit that even that doubled goal, more than a week before the deadline. And this comes of course when things are not all smooth sailing on the vaccine front. This comes as we are expecting some word from the u. S. Government, from the cdc in the fda by The End of the week about whether or not the johnson johnson, one Shot Vaccine, is going to come back into use. But even with the administration of that one Shot Vaccine still on pause, for almost two weeks now, we apparently today to hit 200 Million doses administered anyway. Which is phenomenal. Today president biden also announced a new Tax Credit. And i know youre thinking, why is rachel talking about Tax Policy at the top of the a block. It relates to the covid thing. Its super interesting to me. He announced a new Tax Credit today, that will fully reimburse employers who give their employees paid Time Of
Tur. Its day 10 of testimony in the Derek Chauvin Murder trial in minneapolis, and prosecutors continue to hammer home what they say killed George Floyd. The Medical Examiner ruled Floyds Death a homicide, that floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest, complicating Law Enforcements dual restraint of Neck Compression. But this charged an uproar. It was vague, incomplete and also noted Drug Use. Yesterday Pulmonologist Dr. Tobin said George Floyd dies of asphyxia, not Drug Use as Derek Chauvin held his knee on floyds neck. And today is a forensic pathologist who examined the evidence, including videos, and she says she agrees with the autopsy results but that it does not tell the full story. So if you put all this together, cardiopulmonary arrest, complicating Law Enforcement dual restraint of Neck Compression, what does that mean . It means to me that the activities of the Law Enforcement officers resulted in mr. Floyds death, and that specifically those activities were the subdual restrain
