Videos showing a group of maskless protesters decrying COVID-19 health guidelines at Phoenix's Christown Spectrum Mall went viral on Friday as Arizona, along with the rest of the country, continue to see a record number of new cases.

Several videos, filmed at different stores including Target and Walmart, showed the group walking through the stores as some waved American flags and held signs opposing masks and other guidelines.

Jenny Guzman, one of the Target shoppers who took video of the protest, told The Arizona Republic in a phone interview that she noticed people shouting near a group of Target security guards and drew closer to see what the commotion was about.
"I turned to look and then I saw people coming in, not wearing masks, with signs and a big giant American flag chanting and yelling — demanding that people take their masks off and just saying fallacies about wearing masks. It was just so selfish and I just don't understand how these people think that — not only are they not proving a point, but they're endangering people. But I think they're so selfish that it doesn't matter to them."

Comment: When confronted with facts and science, indoctrination default is the response. The mask of lies, for some people, says it all.

A $600 per person stimulus check, included in the coronavirus package agreed on by congressional leadership after months of debate, has irked netizens who accuse lawmakers of throwing "pennies" at pandemic-weary Americans.

The $900-billion coronavirus deal was announced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday night, a compromise reached between Democrats and Republicans after nearly nine months of fruitless negotiations.

"We can finally report what our nation has needed to hear for a very long time: more help is on the way. As our citizens continue battling this coronavirus this holiday season, they will not be fighting alone," McConnell said on the Senate floor.

Comment: Nancy Pelosi came in for particular derision as she took credit for the package:

A statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was removed from the U.S. Capitol overnight.

The statue has stood with America's first president, George Washington, as the state of Virginia's contribution to the National Statuary Hall Collection at the Capitol for more than 100 years.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, announced on Monday the state will seek to have it replaced with a statue of civil rights icon Barbara Johns.

Comment: Because, of course.

The far-right extremist who killed two people in the eastern German city of Halle after trying to shoot his way into a synagogue has received the maximum sentence. The five-month trial was an ordeal for some survivors.

A German court has sentenced the attacker behind a deadly 2019 attack on a synagogue and surrounding areas in Halle to life in prison.

Far-right extremist Stephan B. was found guilty of two murders and more than 50 counts of attempted murder at the end of his 26-day trial on Monday.

Flashback Pfizer Hit with Largest Criminal Fine in US History

Drug maker Pfizer, Inc. and one of its subsidiaries have agreed to pay $2.3 billion dollars to settle civil and criminal charges regarding its marketing of the drug Bextra. The criminal portion of the fine is the largest fine ever levied by the United States government for any matter. As part of the settlement, Pfizer pled guilty to felony violation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for marketing the drug with the intent to deceive and mislead the public.

Unfortunately, these records don't seem to last long -- Eli Lilly set the previous record with its illegal Viva Zyprexa campaign just last January.

Like the Zyprexa case, the criminal charges against Pfiser come from "off-label" marketing of a drug -- this time Bextra, an anti-inflammatory which Pfizer yanked from the shelves in 2005. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Pfizer marketed the drug for a variety of uses which the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically refused to approve due to safety concerns. See FindLaw's Common Law, for basics regarding FDA drug approval and subsequent marketing.

Comment: One of the "miraculous" COVID-19 vaccines that will "save us all from this pandemic" is made by Pfizer. A private company with dark and criminal background in aggressive marketing of its products. They are intentionally selling poisons as alleged drugs and it has been proven in court. The warp speed COVID-19 vaccine is probably a part of the same illegal marketing protocols of the company.

The woke left are demonizing parents and want to abolish the family. It's the intellectual equivalent of a toddler's tantrum

Children raised in a nuclear family are safer, healthier, happier, and more successful. So, of course, the radicals want to abolish it and raise kids in communes, because "parents are tyrants."

2020 has been a year of pandemics.

The most prominent of these is coronavirus, which has killed over a million people worldwide and wreaked havoc on the global economy.


Comment: It is not that the coronavirus killed so many people and wrought havoc on the global economy. It is the tyrannical lockdowns and restrictive measures that have done that and unfortunately will still do that in near future.


But it isn't the only problematic outbreak to ravage the globe in 2020 - the pandemic of woke idiocy continues to rage unabated.

One particularly imbecilic strain of this vicious virus is the agenda that espouses eliminating the nuclear family.

As a parent and a leftist, I find this assault on parents and nuclear families to be the height of self-serving and self-defeating intellectual masturbation.

Comment: The anti-family ideology propagated by the various psychopathic elite groups is on the rise. They desperately want to create a generation without empathy, compassion, emotions, and love. Generations that will grow without the love of a family will likely look more like themselves, the "creators of their reality" that want to play gods.

An arrest caught on camera has left one Calgary family wondering if police went too far. Twelve-year-old Rayan Sanoubar was skateboarding at a Southwood community rink and captured parts of the encounter on video.

It started on Thursday afternoon when bylaw officers responded to reports of 40-plus people crowding the Southwood community rink and skatepark.

"A peace officer came sat in this car and got out and... told skateboarders we have to go and [we're] not allowed to be there and we all refused, and he called for backup for other police to come," Sanoubar said. Story continues below advertisement

Comment: There are numerous disturbing examples of the authorities mindlessly enforcing tyrannical lockdown restrictions :

CEO of cybersecurity company lays out scope of cyberattack on US, suggests culprit not yet known

The CEO of FireEye, a cybersecurity company based out of California, suggested during an interview on Sunday that the culprit of the massive cyberattack was not yet officially known as he laid out the scope of the attack, which many experts have suggested could be among the worst in U.S. history.

FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia's interview on CBS News's "Face The Nation" comes after the company noticed that it had been hacked and, after investigating, discovered that the hackers breached the software company SolarWinds, which they used to gain access to U.S. government agencies and departments, as well as numerous private firms.

"There's a lot of ways to look at this intrusion, and first and foremost, it's different than other ones that we commonly respond to," Mandia said. "We respond to over a thousand breaches a year. And what separates this is who did it, how they did it, and what they did when they got in."

'We support free press, but...': Conservatives mutiny after neocon Heritage Foundation says Assange is 'US enemy' unworthy of pardon

Right-leaning pundits and social media users are sharpening their pitchforks after the Heritage Foundation, a conservative US think tank, insisted that Julian Assange is not a member of the press and should not receive clemency.

The Washington, DC-headquartered public policy institute on Friday expressed its displeasure over rumors that President Donald Trump is mulling a pardon for the WikiLeaks founder, who is fighting extradition to the US.

"We support a free and open press-but Assange is not a free speech hero," the think tank wrote, adding that the Australian national, who has been languishing in a UK prison since April 2019 after being arrested in London, "deserves to face the full legal consequences of his actions" and "under no circumstances" is worthy of the president's mercy.

Comment: Another pundit calling for Assange's pardon is... Sarah Palin? From Gateway Pundit:
Sarah Palin Calls for Julian Assange to Be Pardoned, 'Years Ago I Publicly Spoke Out Against Julian — and I Made a Mistake'
Cassandra Fairbanks December 19, 2020 at 11:36am

The legendary Sarah Palin has made a touching video calling for Julian Assange to be pardoned.

Palin has been an unlikely supporter of the organization, as WikiLeaks published Palin's own hacked emails during the 2008 election while she was a presidential candidate.

"Hey this is Sarah Palin up in Alaska and I am the first one to admit when I make a mistake," Palin begins in the video. "I made a mistake some years ago, not supporting Julian Assange — thinking that he was a bad guy, that he leaked material that perhaps he shouldn't — and I've learned a lot since then."


"I think Julian did the right thing, and Julian did us all a favor in America... did the world a favor... by fighting for what he believed was right — and ultimately he's been proven to be right. He deserves a pardon. He deserves all of us to understand more about what he has done in the name of real journalism, and that's getting to the bottom of issues that the public really needs to hear about and benefit from."

Palin says that "some years ago I publicly spoke out against Julian and I made a mistake."

"I know that it's coming down to the wire on whether he's going to be pardoned or not. I want more Americans to speak out on his behalf, and to understand what it is that he has done — and what has been done to him," Palin says. "He was working on the people's behalf to allow information to get to us so that we could make up our minds about different issues, about different people. He did the right thing. I support him, and I hope that more and more people, especially as it comes down to the wire, will speak up in support of pardoning Julian. God bless him."

Though Palin's emails did not contain anything scandalous, the Washington Post and other news organizations called for volunteers to help their reporters dig through them and treated the publication far differently than they did when DNC emails leaked in 2016.

The leader of the Proud Boys has confessed to torching a Black Lives Matter banner at a Washington, DC church last weekend after the FBI opened a "hate crime" probe into the incident, but maintains he did nothing illegal.

The chairman of the controversial group, Enrique Tarrio, admitted to the stunt in a post to Parler early on Friday morning, saying that while he did burn the BLM banner during a political rally last week, "there was no hate crime committed."

"Against the wishes of my attorney I am here today to admit that I am the person responsible for the burning of this sign," Tarrio wrote, adding "I didn't do it out of hate...I did it out of love," and that the sign-burning "wasn't about race, religion or political ideology," but rather "a racist movement that has terrorized the citizens of this country."
