CNN makes ludicrous case for trusting 'anonymous source' echo chamber despite eating crow on Giuliani reporting: 'Unfortunate human error'

CNN took a holier-than-thou approach to explaining away mainstream media's penchant for telling anonymously sourced stories that later prove to be false, saying that unlike "MAGA media," it tries to get the news right.

"There are safeguards in place," CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy told Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter on Sunday. "Unfortunately, human error is still at play, and news organizations sometimes do get burned like this."

Common sense: Florida gov. DeSantis eliminates remaining local emergency COVID-19 restrictions

Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order Monday eliminating all remaining local COVID-19 emergency mandates.

He also signed legislation effective July 1 that allows the governor the authority to invalidate local emergency restrictions if they infringe upon individual liberties, bars state or local governments from temporarily closing businesses or suspending in-person school instruction, and increases the state's resources for future public-health emergency planning.

"What I'm going to do is sign the bill; it's effective July 1," DeSantis said. "I will also sign an executive order pursuant to that bill invalidating all remaining local emergency COVID orders effective on July 1. But then to bridge the gap between then and now, I am going to suspend, under my executive power, the local emergency orders as it relates to COVID. I think that's the evidence-based thing to do."

Comment: Florida's covid death numbers dropped on at a continuous rate, even as 'cases' went up as the state rescinded its lockdown. DeSantis put his faith in the human immune system to handle what is basically a nasty flu virus, and it has paid off.

If you think Covid decimated society, imagine what a worse (or real) pandemic would do

Regardless of your thoughts on the Covid-19 pandemic, it's pretty difficult to argue with the fact that the very fabric of our society has changed over the past year. So many things that were perfectly normal in 2019, like going to the movies and grabbing some popcorn and a Coke, traveling, or meeting friends for lunch at a restaurant are now either different, difficult, or even impossible.

Add to this the economic crisis that began when our country shut down for "two weeks" just over a year ago.

Covid destroyed entire economies

Businesses have closed, never to reopen. Jobs have been lost, never to return. Once in a lifetime events like births, graduations, and sadly, even deaths, occurred in isolation. Personal finances have been destroyed and many people may never recover their former prosperity.

And this all happened for a pandemic that, while a truly miserable illness, was not overly fatal if you look at the percentages.

So what would happen if a worse pandemic occurred? The Black Death? Ebola? Something nasty we haven't even heard of yet?

Comment: Indeed, all indications support the probability that the new vaccines will not only lower immunity to various virus's - but also help incubate new and far more dangerous ones:

But we can be proactive about not only vaccines but pandemics and plague-like diseases:

Red states are fighting back against 'The Reset' - What does this mean for the future?

The past year I have been writing extensively about what I call the "great conservative migration"; a shift in US demographics not seen since the Great Depression. Approximately 8.9 million Americans have relocated since the beginning of the covid lockdowns according to the US Postal service, and a large portion of these people are leaving left-leaning blue states for conservative red states in the west and the south. States like California, Illinois, New York and New Jersey were at the top of the list of states people wanted to escape.

The response from leftist states has been amusing. California, for instance, has tried to obscure the data on population loss and has dismissed the existence of the migration. They claim that the state population is actually rising, but fail to mention that most of California's population "gains" have been from babies born along with an increase in illegal immigration. This has not offset the 267,000 individuals and families that left the state in the last three months 2020 alone. That's an entire city of people, gone in 90 days.

And where are these people going? Places like Idaho, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, etc. ALL red states that are fighting back against draconian covid mandates and other unconstitutional measures. The only outlier seems to be Oregon, which also has seen a population spike, and this indeed appears to be a migration of Californians to the north.

Pfizer caught engaging in illegal marketing practices & assessed billions in criminal convictions

The Facts:

A paper published in 2010 by Robert G. Evans, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Vancouver School of Economics, UBC titled Tough on Crime? Pfizer and the CIHnoutlines the immoral, unethical and criminal activities of Pfizer up until 2010.

Reflect On:

Is it hard to see why many doctors, scientists and citizens are hesitant to use products from this company? Is it hard to see why so many have lost their trust in these companies and government when it comes to doing what's best for our health?

What Happened: Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, recently known for their development of a COVID-19 vaccine, has been caught multiple times engaging in unethical and immoral behaviour. This is no secret, yet over the years this fact continues to be brushed under the rug and remain mostly unacknowledged by mainstream media. Since mainstream media has such a large influence over the perception of the masses, it's no wonder why so many people respond to the word "big pharma" with "conspiracy theory." If one takes a closer look it's not hard to see why there is actually great cause for concern.

Comment: "Cradle to Grave" vaccine schedule developed by Pfizer

It's no secret that vaccines are virtually unparalleled moneymakers for the pharmaceutical industry, and one of the biggest players, Pfizer, has reportedly set its sights on a "significant expansion" of its vaccine repertoire.

As reported by the New York Times, the company is taking steps to promote vaccines to be used "from cradle to grave, from shots for pregnant women to protect their babies from the moment of birth to vaccines for senior citizens with waning immune systems."

Few people know Pfizer is a business entity that actually merged with the former pharmaceutical division of Monsanto.

The end of free speech: Why is Britain handing huge new powers of censorship to tech giants to control what we write and say?

The UK is turning its broadcast regulator into the Hatefinder General, with a new law compelling social media companies to enforce an authoritarian crackdown on our behaviour that's 'unprecedented in any democracy'.

As the British nanny state widens its scope with the government's new Online Safety Bill it is a sign that the German concept of wehrhafte Demokratie - or militant democracy - has arrived on our shores, dictating that some of our rights are sacrificed in the interests of order.

Once enshrined in law, the bill will ensure that true, online freedom of speech will follow the dial-up modem and those once omnipotent AOL subscription CDs into the dustbin of internet history. According to the authors of 'You're on Mute", a briefing document from the Free Speech Union (FSU), the government's plans "will restrict online free speech to a degree almost unprecedented in any democracy".

But I have to admit, I'm a bit sceptical how this brand new plan is going to work. So far, it seems that Ofcom, the broadcaster regulator, will be asked to draw up a code of practice setting out the rules which social media companies will be legally obliged to follow. Ofcom will then enforce the rules with fines of up to £18 million or 10% of turnover levied on those who break them.

Australia defends lockdown travel ban CRIMINALIZING return of its own citizens from India

Australia has imposed a blanket ban on arrivals from India, with those daring to violate it to face jail time and heavy fines. The move has been met with criticism, but the government insists it's needed to protect public health.

The controversial rule came into force on Monday, barring Australian citizens from returning to the country from the Covid-19 hotspot until May 15. Those who ignore the restrictions face five years behind bars and/or a fine of AUS$66,600 Australian dollars (US$51,500).

"It's a high-risk situation in India," Health Minister Greg Hunt said during a televised news briefing on Monday. "There has been no doubt in any of the Commonwealth advice about this measure or other measures."

CNN poll: 64% say voter ID requirements make elections 'more fair'

A majority of Americans believe basic voter ID requirements, such as requiring a valid photo ID prior to casting a ballot, would make elections "more fair," despite the steady stream of mischaracterizations from top Democrats, who contend that such requirements are oppressive and akin to the Jim Crow era.

The survey provided a series of potential rules a state could implement regarding voting and asked respondents to rate if the suggested rule would make elections "more fair," "less fair," or the same.

Notably, 64 percent of respondents said requiring voters to provide photo identification before casting a ballot would make elections "more fair," compared to 17 percent who said "less fair," and 17 percent who said it "would not make much difference."

A majority of voters, 65 percent, also said "ensuring that in-person voting before Election Day is available outside of normal business hours and on the weekends" would make elections "more fair," and 51 percent said automatic voter registration would make elections "more fair," as well.

DC bans dancing at indoor and outdoor wedding receptions

After 2020 threw wrenches in the wedding plans of so many couples, some are now facing yet another hurdle. D.C. just banned dancing at indoor and outdoor weddings, leaving lovebirds to scramble to find wedding venues outside the District.

One wedding planner complained that D.C.'s starting to feel a little like the mythical town of Bomont in the classic movie Footloose -- the town that banned dancing.

"Completely shell-shocked," Stephanie Sadowski of SRS Events said of her reaction to hearing the news.

The city is loosening some pandemic restrictions, but at her news conference Monday, Sadowski said Mayor Muriel Bowser sneaked in a bombshell. The latest order allows indoor weddings at 25% capacity, or 250 people -- which was a bit of relief -- but "standing and dancing at receptions are not allowed."

At least 25 people were killed in a collision between two boats in central Bangladesh on Monday, police said.

"We have rescued five people and retrieved 25 bodies," local police chief Miraz Hossain told AFP.

The collision was between a packed boat carrying at least 30 passengers and a vessel transporting sand in the Padma river near the town of Shibchar.

More people were reportedly missing while fire service officials and locals continued rescue operations, another policeman said.
