President Biden's "wartime effort" goal to vaccinate 100 million people against COVID-19 in 100 days relies on a daily average that was repeatedly bested under former President Donald Trump.

Biden's first full day in office on Thursday saw 1.3 million Americans inoculated against the deadly coronavirus, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. But the same figures show that 1.3 million shots were administered on Jan. 11 and that 1.1 million were given both Jan. 14 and 16.

Vaccinations also hit a record-high, 1.6 million on Wednesday, when Biden was sworn into office, according to the data.

Since his inauguration Wednesday, the new commander in chief and his top spokesperson have repeatedly been pressed by reporters on whether he's setting his immunization target too low.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said during an interview on Thursday night that part of the reason that she did not attend President Joe Biden's inauguration was because she does not feel safe around Republicans.

"You knew that people would ask why you weren't there," CNN host Chris Cuomo said. "This was a good cause, from your perspective, of dealing with your constituency. But this was supposed to be a show of force, and unity, and you weren't there. Explain it."

"How many are 'We?'" Cuomo pressed.

"I think a very considerable amount," Ocasio-Cortez answered. "A lot of members do not feel safe. In fact, just today-"

"You really think that colleagues of yours in Congress, may do you dirty?" Cuomo asked.

Digital rights advocates reacted with alarm to a report published Friday detailing how Defense Intelligence Agency analysts in recent years bought databases of U.S. smartphone location data without first obtaining warrants.

"I think we've really reached the point where you have so much data floating around that governments can essentially buy their way around the Fourth Amendment." — Sen. Ron Wyden

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is part of the Department of Defense and is tasked with informing military and civilian policymakers about the activities and intentions of foreign governments and nonstate actors.

The new revelation, first reported by the New York Times, initially came in the form of DIA responses to questions from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) regarding the agency's warrantless purchase of commercial location data generated by phones both inside and outside of the United States.

Wyden asked the DIA to clarify its interpretation of Carpenter v. United States, a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision barring law enforcement agencies from requesting personal location information from a cellphone company without first obtaining a search warrant from a judge.

"DIA does not construe the Carpenter decision to require a judicial warrant endorsing purchase or use of commercially-available data for intelligence purposes," the agency replied, implicitly acknowledging its exploitation of an apparent loophole in the case that DIA believes permits its warrantless acquisition of location data from third-party brokers.

The Lone Star State is not afraid of standing alone against federal government overreach. Texas is showing once again it is not the state to be pushed around.

Amidst a flurry of 17 executive orders and actions on newly sworn-in President Biden's first day in office, was one that directed federal agencies not to enforce certain provisions of U.S. immigration law.

Texas put the Biden administration on blast. The state's Attorney General released a statement that made its position clear:

Yesterday you ordered a blanket halt on nearly all deportations of illegal aliens. This complete abdication of the Department of Homeland Security's ("DHS") obligation to enforce federal immigration law is unlawful and will seriously and irreparably harm the State of Texas and its citizens.

The statement makes it clear that Biden's refusal to enforce the law as required will result in injury to Texas:

Border states like Texas pay a particularly high price when the federal government fails to faithfully execute our country's immigration laws. Your attempted halt on almost all deportations would increase the cost to Texas caused by illegal immigration. DHS itself has previously acknowledged that such a "pause on . . . removals" will cause "concrete injuries to Texas." See Agreement between Department of Homeland Security and the State of Texas ("Agreement") § 2.

As a result of that particularized interest in the effective operation of our immigration system, Texas has agreed to cooperate with the federal government in its execution of immigration enforcement. See Agreement. Your attempt to halt deportations violates our Agreement in multiple ways.

Rather than questioning Tory lockdowns, Sir Keir Starmer's party, and the wider British left, have only ever called for them to be harder, faster and longer despite the havoc they wreak on those they claim to represent.

Whenever Home Secretary Priti Patel is wheeled out to lead the daily government briefing we know we have done something wrong and something rotten is about to be rolled out. So from this week, thanks to our collective bad behaviour, £800 fines will be issued to those attending house parties of 15 or more people. This is the latest punishment the government has added to its stick and stick approach to enforcing the lockdown.

All this at a time when the working class are having literally the worst times of our lives. There is no 'good lockdown' for working class people who are more likely to be redundant or on furlough, living in cramped, crowded conditions, and whose children are struggling and falling behind at school. Another threat to frighten people with is not the answer.

Former President Donald Trump gave nothing away about his plans for life after the White House as he dined with friends at his golf club on Friday.

"We'll do something, but not just yet," he told the Washington Examiner as he sat at his regular table in the Grill Room of the Trump International Golf Club. An aide to the former chief executive then swooped in and swiftly, but politely, ended the interaction.

Those marked his first words to a journalist since he left the White House on Wednesday and flew to Florida.

Minutes earlier, House Democratic leaders announced that they intended to send an article of impeachment to the Senate on Monday that would charge the former president with inciting an insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, threatening Trump's hopes of running for president again.

Friday marked the second consecutive day that his motorcade drove the short distance from his private club Mar-a-Lago to his golf course.

All the children locked up at home, instead of at school or playing with their friends. All the small businesses shuttered and American dreams destroyed. All the economic opportunity wasted and plans put on hold. All a political game?

Four Democratic governors are doing nothing to allay those growing suspicions with what appears to be the political timing of recent easing of their respective states' unlawful coronavirus lockdown restrictions.

1.Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been one of the most ferocious and vindictive advocates of the lockdowns.

The easing of indoor dining regulations in Michigan begins on February 1st, as reported by Fox:

After months of closures, indoor dining will resume in Michigan restaurants and bars, beginning Feb. 1.

The Michigan health department's next epidemic order allows the sale and consumption of concessions at restaurants, casinos, movie theaters, and stadiums. It also maintains non-residential gatherings of up to 10 people from two households.

Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association President Justin Winslow said in a statement that Whitmer's order was "overdue news," and that the industry lost "nearly 3,000 restaurants" and had "200,000 fewer workers."

With the global technocrats taking the world through the "Going Direct" Reset into the abyss of the End of Currency and the ultimate transhuman slave state, things could not be more dire. But, as Catherine Austin Fitts of Solari.com tells us, there are options on the table for taking things in a completely different direction and unlocking the incredible abundance of the planet. The choice is our, but for how long? Don't miss this important, solutions-focused discussion on The State of Our Currencies.

Within 24 hours of his swearing-in ceremony, Joe Biden invaded Syria with a convoy of US troops and choppers carrying 200 more soldiers.

78-year-old Joe Biden on Friday mumbled through another presser from the White House.

In October Biden attacked Trump for his handling of the China virus.

Biden bragged about "having a plan" to combat the China Coronavirus.

"We're eight months into this pandemic, and Donald Trump still doesn't have a plan to get this virus under control - I do," Biden said in an October tweet.
