A man is shown riding a city bus in San Francisco's Chinatown area. Asians have been victimized in several attacks on the city's bus system in just the past week.
San Francisco's municipal bus system has emerged as a hot spot in an epidemic of unprovoked attacks on Asians, with two separate assaults occurring on the same day just one week after two elderly women were stabbed at a bus stop.

The latest incident happened Sunday morning, when an Asian woman was allegedly hit in the face for no reason by a man as she was boarding a bus in San Francisco's Tenderloin district. The bus driver then intervened, stopping the man from striking the woman again, letting him exit the bus and calling police.

The woman suffered a split lip in the attack. Police gave no indication of whether she required medical treatment or if a suspect was arrested.

Ivermectin

Health minister Vishwajit Rane said that Goa would be the first state in the country to administer Ivermectin to its adult citizens as a step towards protecting lives.
The government's decision to administer the anthelmintic drug to the entire population comes at a time its vaccination program for the 18-44 age group is yet to take off and is expected to start only by the third week of May.

With a ten-fold rise in Covid-19 infections over the last month, the Goa government on Monday announced that it will be starting prophylaxis treatment by administering Ivermectin to all above the age of 18 years in the state, irrespective of Covid-19 symptoms. The government's decision to administer the anthelmintic drug to the entire population comes at a time its vaccination program for the 18-44 age group is yet to take off and is expected to start only by the third week of May.


Comment: For the vast majority of people the coronavirus is relatively harmless so the vaccination program is not only pointless, it could actually prove to be many times more harmful: Pfizer vaccine in Israel: Mortality rate 'hundreds of times greater in vaccinated young people'

UK to ban LGBT conversion therapy and provide more support

Britain will move to ban conversion therapy and provide more support to those in the LGBT community who have undergone the treatment, as part of its post-pandemic government agenda.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government said measures would be brought forward to prevent these "abhorrent practices which can cause mental and physical harm", starting with a consultation on how best to protect people and how to eliminate coercive practices.

Johnson's party has come under increasing pressure on the issue after former leader Theresa May vowed in 2018 to eradicate a procedure that aims to change or suppress someone's sexual orientation or gender identity. However some faith leaders had argued that a wide ban could implicate those who offer pastoral support including prayer.

Setting out the new parliamentary agenda in a briefing document alongside the Queen's Speech, the government said:
"We will ensure medical professionals, religious leaders, teachers and parents can continue to be able to have open and honest conversations with people."

Comment: Are unnatural acts of physical mutilation and castration a faith issue? It may become a legal one for the clergy.

Drop in Xinjiang birthrate largest in recent history


Independent
Tue, 11 May 2021 12:00 UTC
Xinjiang
Xinjiang in far western China had the sharpest known decline in birthrates between 2017 and 2019 of any territory in recent history, according to a new analysis by an Australian think tank.

The report from the Australian Strategy Policy Institute, obtained exclusively ahead of publication by The Associated Press, showed the 48.74% decline was concentrated in areas with many Uyghurs Kazakhs and other largely Muslim ethnic minorities, based on Chinese government statistics over nearly a decade.


Comment: The article appears to be omitting data in order to promote a propaganda narrative; for example, have these families gone from having 4 children to having 2? Could that explain the drop? And would that be such a bad thing? Without more and specific data, we're none the wiser.


Birthrates in largely minority counties fell 43.7% between 2017 and 2018 alone, with over 160,000 fewer babies born. That compares to a slight increase in births in counties populated mostly by China's Han majority.

Tucker Carlson asks the question: Anthony Fauci let the coronavirus pandemic happen, why isn't there a criminal investigation?

Tucker Carlson (inset) Jeffrey Zients, Biden's "Covid Coordinator"
This article is adapted from Tucker Carlson's opening commentary on the May 10, 2021, edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight.

How do we assess the Biden administration's response to COVID? Well, here's one marker: it tells you pretty much everything that the White House that is supposedly so committed to science chose as its head COVID coordinator a man with no background at all in science or medicine. His name is Jeffrey Zients. Zients ran Joe Biden's presidential transition team, that's his qualification. He's a former management consultant from Bain, who sat on the board of Facebook. Jeffrey Zients is a political operative. That's who's overseeing COVID response for Joe Biden. The good news is because Zients isn't even close to being an actual scientist, he doesn't talk like one. Occasionally he says things whose significance the rest of us can clearly understand. Read what Zients said on CNN yesterday, and it becomes very clear how the White House understands this pandemic.

Comment: The Duran comments:
Dr. Anthony Fauci is propped up as the national "Expert" on all things coronavirus. It seems that he would indeed be the expert.

After all, he helped create it.

Let that sink in a bit. Dr Fauci, the "mask until Eternity" guy is in a perpetual and highly paid game of "Cover My A**".

Apocryphal information? Tinfoil hattery here? Not so much. Most of my readers on The Duran may remember this piece from about one year ago, where Next News Network, a YouTube channel dedicated to real conservative news, featured an extensive interview with Dr. Rashid Buttar, who detailed, very specifically, Dr. Anthony Fauci's ties to the very creation of SARS-CoV-2 itself. We present that video below:


[...]

Senator Rand Paul actually questioned Dr Fauci on this connection today in DC. Here is the video:


[...]

To think that this simply consummate liar ran the COVID response program under President Trump raises very serious questions:
  1. How is it that President Trump was taken in by this man?
  2. How is it that despite President Trump's gradual distancing of policy from Dr Fauci's insanity, that he did not at some point directly call Dr Fauci out as the liar he is?
  3. How is the Imposter Regime using Dr Fauci to carry out its own tyrannical dreams for America and for the world?
One might speculate that Trump didn't have much wiggle room to replace such an entrenched swamp creature. Voice-of-sanity Scott Atlas didn't last long under the Swamp's onslaught. Fauci's run his sinécure, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984. Two excellent articles by Nicholas Wade, the reporter mentioned by Carlson. They are damning.

Vaccinated Americans MORE SCARED of socializing than those without the jab - poll

Vaccination against Covid-19 has been sold to the public as a ticket back to normality, but a new poll has found that those who've taken the jab are even more scared of socializing than the unvaccinated.

Nearly half of all American adults have had their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine, and 35% are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. President Joe Biden has urged the remainder to "get the shot," and in a speech last week, Biden described the ongoing vaccination drive as "a serious step toward a return to normal."

But vaccinated Americans aren't rushing to return to normal. Glancing through comments on social media reveals a whole host of people - usually political liberals - who proudly proclaim that they'll continue to mask up outdoors even after receiving their two vaccine shots.

It's not just internet crazies either. A Morning Consult poll published on Wednesday shows that vaccinated Americans are less comfortable about returning to public activities than their unvaccinated counterparts.

Tara Reade: Sexual assault allegations are a career death sentence for anyone... except an establishment Democrat

Left: New York City mayor candidate Scott Stringer, whose campaign was recently hit by sexual assault allegations. Right: US President Joe Biden, whose presidential campaign was unhurt by similar allegations
If you're an establishment Democrat, most of the time you can rape and pillage like a Roman senator of old with impunity. Sexual misconduct and corruption are impeachable crimes only for those who are a threat to the status quo.

The scandal pushback playbook has not changed since the early 1990s, when it comes to smearing and silencing accusers of powerful men. Democratic candidates have money and protection to pad the fall. They also have the ever-present pseudo-feminist MeToo celebrities to use as a shield and the fourth estate media outlets as the sword to destroy any possibility of truth coming to light. That is, most of the time.

The most recent Democratic nominee in a New York mayor race, Scott Stringer - labeled a progressive Democrat - may have his campaign destroyed due to the accusations leveled against him, however.

In fact, there seems to be a pattern, as pointed out by Krystal Ball on The Hill's Rising, that progressives get the MeToo hit job that ends their political campaign, while elite establishment Democrats, such as Cuomo and Biden, walk away with a complete lack of any accountability.

Another US state bans vaccine passports

Republican Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon issued a directive Friday to block state agencies from establishing the use of vaccine passports, which some states will soon require for residents to gather at large sporting and entertainment events.

Under the directive, state agencies and commissions are ordered to "provide full access to state spaces and state services, regardless of a constituent's COVID-19 vaccination status."

"Vaccine passport programs have the potential to politicize a decision that should not be politicized," Gordon said in a statement. "They would divide our citizens at a time when unity in fighting the virus is essential, and harm those who are medically unable to receive the vaccine. While I strongly encourage Wyomingites over the age of 16 to get vaccinated against COVID-19, it is a personal choice based upon personal circumstances."

Gordon took action after a resolution stalled that would have set out a "vaccine bill of rights." Introduced in the State House in March, the resolution pledged to "protect [Wyoming's] citizens against unconstitutional and medically irresponsible COVID-19 vaccine mandates."

Comment: Meanwhile in North Carolina, the state House passed a bill to bar state public health authorities and licensing agencies from requiring North Carolinians to get vaccinated in order to obtain a license. It's a good sign that states in the US are standing up against any form of draconian "vaccine passports."

More woke than ever: Instagram adds more than 40 pronoun options, STILL gets complaints

Instagram has announced that users will now be able to display up to four pronouns on their profile in a dedicated section. They will also have the option to make them public or only viewable to friends.

Users under 18 will display their pronouns only to their followers by default and people can fill out a form to have a pronoun added to the list.

Tech website Mashable conducted its own testing and found that there were 41 pronouns currently available on the app.

Facebook, which owns Instagram, allowed users to define their pronouns as far back as 2014, but these were limited to: 'he/him', 'she/her' and 'they/them'.

Comment: What appears to be a childish complaint over personal image conceals much deeper implications for society.

Won't someone think of the baby-killers? Anti-Semitism group outraged by Onion article about Israeli military, tries to doxx writer

An Israeli soldier aims his weapon while others take cover behind their shields during a Palestinian protest amid a flare-up of Israeli-Palestinian violence, in Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, May 11, 2021
Imagine getting so beat out of shape by satire that you try to bribe the writers to snitch on their colleagues. Well, that's what the stopantisemitism.org group did when joke site the Onion made fun of their beloved IDF.

Of all the hate crime watchdog groups out there, none are more hypersensitive than the anti-Semitism monitors. Disagree with a Jewish politician about tax policy? That's anti-Semitism. Call another Jewish lawmaker "shifty?" Nice job, Hitler. Make fun of Israel's heavy-handed policing of Palestinian territories? You'll soon have the watchdogs breathing down your neck.

That's what happened on Monday, after The Onion, a well-known satirical news site, retweeted an old article with the headline 'IDF Soldier Recounts Harrowing, Heroic War Story Of Killing 8-Month-Old Child.'

Comment: Even Israeli human rights groups admit Israel is an apartheid regime, which is why the group has to do what it can to shut down the discussion entirely; and it does so by intimidating those drawing attention to the ongoing atrocities committed by Israel: Israel is committing the crime of apartheid - Human Rights Watch
