Fauci Takes Fifth 111 Times Because Answering Questions Would Force Him to Admit He's Not Actually a Deity

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a shocking development that has left half the country clutching their “In Fauci We Trust” prayer cards, Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during his recent Senate grilling. 

Sources close to the hearing confirm the real reason wasn’t fear of perjury, it was sheer, unadulterated pride. The man simply could not bear watching his own golden statue melt under the harsh light of basic questions. 

Former Rolling Stone editor Matt Taibbi dug through the wreckage of Fauci’s July 29 appearance before the Senate Homeland Security Committee and discovered what many already suspected: America’s most celebrated public health rock star spent the pandemic treating the country like his personal arena tour. 

Diary entries paint a portrait of an egotistical asshat clown who demanded federal employees chase cash prizes for him between Zoom briefings, while casually noting that vaccinated people were still getting infected; details he somehow forgot to share with the flock still waiting for their next booster sacrament.

Taibbi observed that Fauci’s chaotic performance did precisely nothing to dent the religious devotion of the faithful Left. Science, the FBI, the CIA, and the entire intelligence community can whisper “lab leak” until they’re blue in the face; Fauci remains their false prophet, an invidious huckster-narcissist whose reckless experiments may have endangered the world. 

One does not simply question the high priest of “I Am Science.” 

Joe Biden’s blanket pardon, issued with the intellectual clarity of a man who once introduced his own shadow as a Cabinet member, somehow failed to cover this particular hearing. Perjury traps yawned open like the mouths of hungry interns. So Fauci took the Fifth. Legal strategy? Partially, but deeper analysis reveals the true motive: pure ego up his wazoo. 

Three hours of systematically dismantling his own temple was simply too much for a man who once believed the adoring media had permanently canonized him. The heart of the matter, as Taibbi noted, was the exquisite legal loophole left by the outgoing Obama administration in 2017. By redefining “potential pandemic pathogen” with the semantic precision of a leprechaun rewriting the rules of a drinking contest, officials created a glorious gray area. 

Suddenly, taking a bat virus that couldn’t infect bats, inserting twelve nucleotides to give it a furin cleavage site, and watching it become devastatingly transmissible to humans wasn’t “gain of function.” It was just creative virology. 

As former CDC Director Bob Redfield helpfully clarified, if you start with something that doesn’t hurt people and make it hurt people, congratulations, you’ve invented a brand-new category of research that definitely doesn’t count. 

Fauci’s diaries seethe with irritation at the “nonsense” in Congress over gain-of-function questions. In his mind, the funding never “likely” caused widespread human transmission, so everything was fine. Never mind the diary entry fretting that Dr. Zheng-Li Shi had been busily adapting spike proteins to human ACE2 receptors for years. Never mind that the virus that escaped Wuhan just happened to possess the exact engineered feature scientists had been discussing. Details, details. 

The important thing was that the paperwork looked clean. 

Taibbi concluded that half the country is still averting its eyes because one blue-state heartthrob sits at the center of the disaster. Investigating the greatest public health catastrophe in a century might require admitting their idol was fallible clusterfrack of a doctor, and that simply cannot be allowed. God help us when the next novel virus needs a little laboratory TLC. 

In the end, Fauci pleaded the Fifth not merely to avoid legal jeopardy, but to spare himself the humiliation of watching his carefully curated legacy go up in flames while he held the match. Sorry, Doc. The secret is out. The temple has fallen. And no amount of Fifth Amendment invocations can put the furin cleavage site back in the bottle.

Biden tells Dems: 'we're ending Title 42 no matter how much you whine

Now that PINO Biden has been reminded [by the 'person behind the curtain'] that Title 42 is a Trump-era order about immigration regarding communicable diseases and the southern border, and not about Covid 19 and the CDC mandates, he was apparently told to stand behind 'his' decision to rescind the order. This has incumbent Democrats sweating like cows in a slaughterhouse because their constituents don't want the order rescinded.

Title 42 basically uses the Covid pandemic to deport illegal migrant border-crossers instead of the normal 'catch-and-release' policies whereby illegal migrants were allowed into the country and told to return for an immigration hearing. A huge percentage of these illegal migrants never return and simply disappear into the country and eventually vote Democrat. 

But Biden's own party has lost confidence in his ability to have a cogent thought, much less manage the border crisis, as hard-left reluctantly Politico reports.

Facing a growing rebellion from within the Democratic Party, the White House is standing behind its decision to end on May 23 a Trump-era deportation policy for migrants encountered at the southern border.

That decision to end the use of the public health order known as Title 42 has placed President Joe Biden in a political bind. The president is attempting to balance his long-standing promise to revoke the policy — which, under the banner of fighting the Covid pandemic, justified the immediate expulsion of migrants without due process — right as Republicans weaponize immigration before the midterms and as a growing number of Democratic senators want restrictions to remain in place for fear that the administration is not prepared for a summer surge of migrants to the border.

Republicans “weaponize” immigration? Is that worse than “pouncing,” and maybe slightly better than “seizing”? Or is it the other way around? It’s curious why a legitimate policy area would be seen as “weaponized” in an election-cycle debate, unless it’s tacit admission that Democrats have screwed up so badly on the issue that it helps the GOP to discuss it at all.

Democrats have a number of problems all on their own without GOP pouncing or seizing. In the first place, the Biden White House plans to appeal a ruling on mask mandates for Americans on mass-transit systems on the basis that the pandemic still makes it necessary, while Biden will claim that the emergency is over for non-Americans entering the country. It doesn’t take a lot of “weaponizing” for voters to wonder why they’re being forced into masking compliance when illegal immigrants are being given a pass on pandemic measures.

More to the point, though, Title 42 was one of the last tools left in dealing with the scope of the border crisis that Biden’s mismanagement created and then stoked. Democrats realize now that Biden still has no plan to deal with that border crisis, which has only grown worse, except to try to keep national media from mentioning it. As Karen wrote this morning, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas all but admitted that Biden and HHS have no plan to deal with the border crisis after they end Title 42 expulsions.

And as Karen Townsend from Hot Air points out, Mayorkas speaks with forked tongue because while he supports Biden's decision publicly, he knows the president's approval rating is lower than whale poop and this is in large part due to his immigration policy, or lack thereof [my words, not hers].

The Biden administration continues to thumb their noses at proper processes required under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). This is a case involving the CDC’s revocation of Title 42, which was supposed to go into effect on May 23rd. But now reports show that the DHS and its sub agencies aren't using Title 42 with illegal migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

The Biden revocation of Title 42 was already unlawful as his administration failed to follow the correct notice and comment procedure under the APA. This unlawful pattern continues as DHS is unlawfully implementing the revocation early – more than a month ahead of time. This is a major reason the CDC's mask mandate for transit systems was thrown out by a federal court.

Biden wants to back this garbage unpopular policy and will lose in federal court again. He just keeps wandering around and stepping on rakes, and that's good for the GOP so let him keep wandering.

Federal judge blocks Biden admin mask mandate on public transportation

Masks are also useful for catching drool

A federal judge voided the Biden-Harris-Klain-Obama administration's mask mandate for people using public transportation such as buses, trains and planes.

The unscientific mandate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention applies to people as young as 2 years old, for no particular reason as there is more danger for a 2-year-old from the flu than there is from Covid-19 and any of its mutations. 

The mandate had been slated to expire several times but PINO Biden mumbled something about it extending to May 3rd, as if the virus has a calendar or a smart phone. Monday's ruling put a kibosh on the lunacy.

The ruling came from U.S.. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, emanating from a case brought in Florida federal court by Health Freedom Defense Fund, Inc. and frequent air travelers Ana Daza and Sarah Pope against the alleged Biden administration. 

Judge Mizelle determined that the mandate violated the Administrative Procedure Act by being outside the scope of the CDC's authority, was "arbitrary" and "capricious" and not going through the required notice and comment period for federal rule-making. 

That cool and sexy "mask-on-ear" move

In other words, the CDC makes crap up as they go along to do what the White House tells them to do.

Judge Mizelle examined the section of the Public Health Services Act of 1944 that was the basis for the mandate. That law allows the CDC "to make and enforce such regulations" deemed "necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States[.]" To this end, the law says that CDC can utilize "inspection, fumigation disinfection sanitation, pest extermination, destruction of animals or articles found to be so infect or contaminated as to be sources of dangerous infection to human beings, and other measures[.]" The administration, the judge noted, has claimed that the mask mandate falls under "sanitation."

Well, the one thing they got right was that the masks have created a sanitation problem. If someone could come up with a way to completely sanitize discarded masks found all over the place, as Trump might phrase it, they would become a millionaire, or else be stuck with millions of cleaned up masks.

The judge noted that one could view "sanitation" as being an active measure to clean or as a preventative measure to keep something from getting dirty or infected, but through an examination of the statutory language, she determined it was the former.

"The context of [the statute] indicates that ‘sanitation’ and ‘other measures’ refer to measures that clean something, not ones that keep something clean," Mizelle wrote. "Wearing a mask cleans nothing." 

It certainly doesn't clean Hunter Biden's mind nor laptop.

Immediately following the announcement, United Airlines told employees that the mandate will remain in effect until they receive guidance from the federal government on how to proceed, convincing many of us who are sick and tired of this nonsense to fly Delta.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden's brain continues to erode.

Comedy News Network guest bashes Fox News' invented POTUS dementia and existence of CRT

A Comedy News Network commentator and WaPo syndicated columnist Catherine Rampell, alleged on Sunday that Fox News is exaggerating claims that Joe Biden is a "senile president," and that critical race theory (CRT) is "brainwashing kids." She claims FNC had "invented" these stories "out of whole cloth." 

If Rampell honestly believes that alleged President Joe Biden is a fully functioning, cognitively intact person, who is leading the country rather than being led, and that CRT is not being foisted on our kids, she might be schizophrenic or have never actually heard Biden speak, nor read the board of education websites from any of the states that uses the precepts of CRT. Does she understand that CRT isn't a course of study, but rather a Marxist ideology, a tool that is used to mold young minds?

She joined alleged cis gender anchor Brian Stelter on his Sunday show with the oxymoron name "Reliable Sources" where she claimed that stories like those told by Fox News is aimed at a specific audience and designed to spike the blood pressure over issues that weren't "actually mortal threats." You know, like omicron being a threat to all human life on the planet. Oh wait . . . that's CNN and the rest of those legacy media networks.

Stelter started off with a list of Fox News chyrons, claiming that if a person watched the coverage on Fox News, they might get the impression that America had "gone to hell," and the quality of life in America was unbearable.

If one were to watch CNN, one would get the impression that they only cover negative news about Fox News, law enforcement, racism, the deadly coronavirus and more Fox News. They complain about Fox because they are being humiliated by their numbers.

“America as an ‘apocalyptic hellscape,’ that was one of the actual banners,” Stelter said effeminately, arguing that Fox News seemed intent on painting President Joe Biden’s administration as “a clown car driving off a cliff,” unlike CNN who actually did an attack ad on Mitt Romney when he ran for president in which his likeness drove an old granny off a cliff. It's obvious to anyone being honest that Joe Biden is cognitively impaired and being protected by the White House. 

Did anyone at CNN watch his press conference marathon?

Stelter continued: “Catherine, when we talk about polls showing most Americans think the country is on the wrong track, most Americans are filled with doom and gloom, we need to link it back to the media coverage.”  Certainly not anything having to do with the actual failures of the Biden administration--that would be political blasphemy.

“Obviously they’re getting that messaging from the media they consume. That set of headlines that you just scrolled through, I could feel my blood pressure rising just reading those. That’s the goal, right? The goal of this kind of coverage is to freak people out, to cause them to live in fear,” Rampell replied, proving that most Americans don't watch CNN but rather get their news from Fox News.

Although the legacy media asked some tough questions to Biden at the presser, they failed to touch upon the border crisis, Afghanistan, his failed COVID promise, Hunter's laptop, and China, just for starters. So while it looks like they're tough on him to some degree, they allow him to get away with avoiding other issues that are equally as important.

Rampell suggested that Fox focuses on promoting fear on issues that are less likely to be "mortal threats" [like going to war with Russia; China's increasing global threat; easy-peasy stuff like that] rather than things like climate change and COVID.

Seriously?

MSNBC's Joy Reid rants about GOP's "love" for coronavirus

Angry Black woman

MSNBC host Joy Reid went on another anti-GOP rant Wednesday in which she said that Republicans love the coronavirus. One has to imagine that in order to make such an all inclusive statement about one political party that Reid knows a majority of people in that party, or at least a substantial number that would make it statistically feasible that she isn't talking out of her bottom. It's difficult to imagine she does, anymore than she is friendly with lesbians and homosexuals to have made homophobic remarks in the past.

Reid, an anti-American leftist, said Republicans love coronavirus so much that they wanted it pumping through their veins and were a "creepy little COVID-loving death cult."

"OK, we get it! COVID is 'the precious' and you love it. You love COVID so much you want it to spread into schools, at the office, in the Walmart, on the cruise ships and in the club," she said. "That great spongy ball with the red spikes, you want it pumping through your veins with an Ivermectin chaser. Why do you love it so dadgum so much? We have absolutely no bloody idea."

"But here's the thing you weirdos … everyone else hates COVID!" she spewed, before listing several hospitals being overwhelmed with coronavirus patients and people who died from the virus. Ironically, those hospitals are in Democratic-run states, but that isn't relevant when you're a divisive hater.

If you didn't think the Left and idiots like Joy Reid [whose given name is an oxymoron] hate you for your differences in beliefs, this should be your wakeup call.

"So yeah, the rest of us hate that this is happening. Even the Pope. The Pope hates COVID too, and he loves everybody. He also says get vaccinated," Reid said, speaking for the leader of the Catholic Church. "Yet, you, you Republicans seem to be A-OK with COVID running wild. And then you came for California. Trying to boot a Democratic governor from a blue state and hand it over to the COVID candidate."

Reid based her observation of GOP "love" of the virus on the fact that some people don't want to take the vaccine because of personal reasons. Ironically, the largest demographic group in this category happen to be Black folks, most of whom are not Republicans, but like those overrun hospitals in Democrat-run states, this isn't relevant if you're a divisive hater. In fact, MSNBC and the legacy media in general don't report these tidbits of information. They don't even explain how a large number of the unvaccinated refuse the jab because they've already had Covid and now have natural immunity.

Reid played a video clip of former Republican California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder discussing the coronavirus in an interview with the Comedy News Network.  Elder told CNN that he opposes vaccines and masks for "young people." 

Elder's reasoning is that they are at incredibly small risk of serious effects of the coronavirus and are more at risk with the flu, but are not made to wear masks during flu season. 

"If misinformation could kill. It all helps to explain why Governor Gavin Newsom beat the recall effort and by a lot," Reid, the mentally ill queen of misinformation, said. "Republicans, your thirst for COVID is why you lost. Nobody likes your policies that threaten our safety and our kids."

Joy Reid wore two masks outdoors after being fully vaccinated. This implies that the vaccine doesn't protect us from coronavirus and contributes to the skepticism of those who refuse the vaccination. But perhaps Reid is too stupid to realize this.

And she is still on Twitter.

Pelosi aide tests + for COVID19 after cavorting with Texas' bravest cowards

In clothing inspired by failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi
dons a diamond studded $4,500 face-mask woven by starving children of Burundi

If face-masks are to be worn by everyone, even those who have been completely vaccinated and children over the age of 2, who have a better chance of dying from a lightning strike at noon in Times Square, then all we can say of the creepy Texas Democrats who fled the state to avoid doing their job is that they are bigger hypocrites than a Dr. Fauci recommendation about face-masks and everything else he pontificates.

An aide to Speaker Nancy "Frenetic Hands" Pelosi (D-CA) tested positive for coronavirus after attending a "rooftop reception" with the idiots on the plane of whom three tested positive for the virus. As long as none of these idiots die, you gotta laugh at the irony, hypocrisy and yes, stupidity. 

They are stupid because they shared selfies of them whooping it up on the private jet they took to Washington, D.C. and showed the country that it's "masks for thee, but not for me." A symbolic middle finger, so to speak.

“Yesterday, a fully-vaccinated senior spokesperson in the Speaker’s Press Office tested positive for COVID after contact with members of the Texas state legislature last week,” the Speaker’s office said in a statement to media, per Fox News.

The statement added that the aide did not have contact with Speaker Pelosi following the event, which is fortunate for her as she is extremely old and fragile.

“This individual has had no contact with the Speaker since exposure. The entire Press Office is working remotely today with the exception of individuals who have had no exposure to the individual or have had a recent negative test,” the statement claimed. “Our office will continue to follow the guidance of the Office of Attending Physician closely.” 

Except when they don't.

On Sunday, just days after meeting with members of the Texas delegation, Vice President Kamala Hahahaharris visited Walter Reed Medical Center for what her spokesperson claimed was a “routine” medical appointment. But since Kamala wasn't maniacally laughing, the visit was more likely due to her fear of having also contracted the coronavirus, causing her laugh reflex to freeze up.

His Holiness Fauci does a Kamala Harris with the border crisis

His Holiness the venerable very Reverend Dr. Anthony Fauci who tells us that washing our hands is an important way to fight the coronavirus, is washing his hands of taking responsibility over the surge of illegal migrants coming across the border bringing along COVID-19 in about 10 percent of the ones who are being tested.

Fauci says he has "nothing to do" with the situation at the border after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) challenged him to visit the border to see the "super-spreader event" that's going on there.

"Lindsey Graham, who I like -- he's a good person, I've dealt with him very, very well over the years -- [is] equating me with things that have to do with the border. I have nothing to do with the border," Fauci told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on "Your World" Friday. But of course, when you consider how Fauci has self-described as the go-to guy for all coronavirus revelations and the man who will protect the nation against the dreaded scourge, going to the border and assessing what's going on there is sure as hell his business.

"Obviously, it is a very difficult situation at the border. We all know that. The administration is trying as best as they can to alleviate that situation," the White House chief medical adviser said. "Having me down at the border. That's really not what I do."

But why isn't it what he does? 

Surely the problem with the massive surge of unvaccinated migrants with a significantly high percentage of COVID-19 should be relevant to his task at hand.

"Paging Dr. Fauci: You need to go to the southern border and witness in person the biggest super spreader event in the nation – President [Biden's] immigration policies," Graham tweeted Friday.

Fauci is obviously too busy blowing his own horn on national TV and humble-bragging about his work with the coronavirus.
