The World Health Organization (W.H.O. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) added its voice Saturday to the growing chorus of warnings about the rising incidence of monkeypox. It stated that it expects more cases after only a few were found in Europe and the U.S.

The W.H.O. says that the situation is changing. The W.H.O. expects that there will be more monkeypox cases as surveillance increases in countries not endemic. In a statement, the W.H.O. addressed the outbreak.

Twelve W.H.O. According to the agency, twelve W.H.O. member states have reported monkeypox cases since May 13. However, the infections do not appear to have any travel links to endemic regions.

The W.H.O. The W.H.O. has a record of 92 monkeypox cases worldwide and 28 suspected infections worldwide as of Saturday. Israel is the most recent to report a second confirmed case.

It causes fever, rashes and swelling of the lymph nodes. According to the agency, the information suggests that the virus can be spread through physical contact between people who are symptomatic.

According to Breitbart News, President Joe Biden said Sunday that “everybody should be concerned” about the recent bubble in cases.

Biden said that he had not been informed of the extent of exposure, but that it was something everyone should be concerned about as he began his Asian tour, which included a trip to Tokyo.

He stated that the disease was “a concern insofar as it could spread, it would be consequential”, but noted that his health advisors have not yet informed him about the matter.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Infection and the U.K’s Health Security Agency are currently investigating a variety of cases, including those who “identify themselves to be men who have sexwith men”.

The Daily Mail reports that Belgium is now the first country to implement a mandatory 21-day monkeypox vaccine.

After three cases of the virus were reported in Belgium, the Belgian health authorities said that those who have contracted the virus must now self-isolate for three week.

Stacey Abrams, a Democratic candidate for governor, declared Saturday that Georgia is the “worst state in the country to be alive,” despite having at least two homes there.

According to the Gwinnett Daily Post, Abrams stated that he was running for governor “because I know that there has to be a conversation about who and what we are in the state and what we want from each other.”

She said, “I’m tired of hearing how we’re best in the country for doing business, when we are the worst place to live.”

Abrams admitted that such a statement could be “politicized”, and explained that her state still has a lot of room to improve on issues like mental illness and incarceration.

She said, “Let’s contextualize.” “When you’re No. 48 for mental health. We’re No. 1. For maternal mortality, if you have an increase in incarceration rates and declining wages, you’re not the best place to live. 1. A place to live.”

“Georgia can be great, but we need greatness in our governor’s offices.” She added that we need someone who believes in bringing us all together.”

Abrams, who has a net worth of over $3 million and owned at least two Georgia houses as of last year, later increased her “worst-state” tweet, writing that Gov. Brian Kemp “doesn’t care” about Georgians.

Kemp retorted against Abrams with a tweet saying that Georgia was “the best place to live, work and raise a child.”

Abrams stated that Kemp had “failed so miserably in so many accounts”, including his handling COVID-19 and climate change.

John Durham continues to pursue Michael Sussmann. There have been some noteworthy revelations from this trial.

Robby Mook testified Friday and confirmed many things people have known for years. Clinton’s aides tried to present her as an outsider to the fray, but Mook revealed that Clinton was a twice-failed presidential contender who signed off on the publication of the false Alfa Bank story.

This article was provided by Fox News.

He stated that he discussed the possibility of releasing the information to a reporter with campaign chairman John Podesta, senior policy advisor Jennifer Palmieri and Jake Sullivan, White House National Security Adviser.

Mook said, “I also talked about it with Hillary.”

Mook said that, although I can’t remember the contents of the conversation, it was a discussion around, “hey, there are the following and we want the information to be shared with a reporter. ”

Mook testified that Clinton agreed to this. This directly links Clinton and the Alfa Bank story. This is the first time she shared the story via social media. She claimed that she got the news from the media and not her campaign. We now know that this was a fabrication.

It is not clear how this all relates to Afla Bank being brought to the FBI. Durham will be undoubtedly happy to look into the matter as it progresses in the trial.

It all amounts to a conspiracy to use false information to influence elections (probably not criminal) and a conspiracy to push false information to the FBI/DOJ (which almost certainly are criminal). He wasn’t the only one to do it. Durham will, I believe, prove it. He will be convicted. There were many others involved in the conspiracy including Clinton. Sussmann will be the first one to go. Durham will work backward.

I’m skeptical Clinton is ever touched simply because Washington elites are never touched. Here’s to being pleasantly surprised.

It’s amazing to see Elon Musk go after Democrats.

Do you remember Clinton’s famous tweet in 2016 linking then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump with Russia? Clinton and her campaign claim that Trump had a secret line of communication with Russa via a server at Trump Tower that connected to a Russian bank. This was to explain Trump’s “bizarre adoration for Vladimir Putin” and his proKremlin positions.

This was an attempt to tie Trump to Russia, as per the Democrat Party’s narrative. However, it was a narrative without any basis in reality and the epitome of misinformation in every sense of the term. As we reported Friday, Clinton was directly connected to Robert Mook’s release of the Alpha-Bank story.

You don’t have to remember the tweet. It’s still available as of this writing, despite Twitter’s commitment to eliminating misinformation, even from our political leaders.

“VeeSPIKE”, a Twitter user, tweeted Elon Musk that he had been reporting Clinton’s tweets as “misleading information” but nothing was done. He asked Musk to use any influence he might have on the company for something to be done.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Musk responded.

The Tesla CEO stated that “you are absolutely right.” “That tweet is a Clinton campaign hoax, for which their lawyer is currently undergoing a criminal prosecution.”

Musk also included a link to BBC regarding the Michael Sussmann case. Musk finished the tweet with a follow-up tweet to Parag Agrawal, Twitter CEO, and Vijaya Gandde asking for their reaction.

The tweet is still in flux. Despite Twitter’s impending takeover by Musk, it has been all speed ahead for Twitter’s relentless quest to censor its employees who disagree with it.

It’s clear that Musk is aware of the problems. He is taking a strong stance against the employees who not only restrict the freedom of speech in the west but also insult him personally. Musk is emphasizing the fact that Twitter, in its current state is dishonest and needs new management. Musk is correct in saying that this may be part of business maneuver and part of self-indulgence.

If Twitter doesn’t address this Clinton tweet, it will be yet another thing that proves Musk to be absolutely right.

In the early stages of the Department’s implementation, the Republicans did an admirable job. The Orwellian Disinformation Governance Board of Homeland Security quickly failed to deliver and the Biden White House had no choice but to announce that it was closing the operation.

Nina Jankowicz was the executive director of Biden’s Ministry of Truth. The Republican campaign played a key role in uncovering her. This liberal fruitcake is known for supporting the censorship of conservatives with heavy-handedness.

Jankowicz, the one who resigned after the announcement about the “pause”, was already doing the best thing the left does: playing the victim to anyone who will listen.

She said in a CNN interview that we were “unfortunately and ironically” overtaken by a disinformation campaign launched by people who want their national security to be more important than their political ambitions.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R.Texas), saw the interview and responded accordingly with a helpful translation.

Translation: “the true information—videos, dammit—that came out about me, made it very hard for me to call other true information false, and that was my entire job description….” https://t.co/xrGMTqEYll

I find it the self-important, left-leaning types who frustrate me most. They believe that if they continue to pretend that they are victims of a right-wing conspiracy/ “smear program”, they will eventually win the support of their supporters and weather the storm.

These tactics can sometimes backfire. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is an example of this. She opens her mouth to insert her shoe, and the far left loves her. But middle America doesn’t. The GOP frequently features her and other radical members of the “Squad” in ads in the battleground House districts, where there is more competition.

This is why leftist claims by conservatives that they want to “shut down progressives (especially women Democrats),” are so absurd. Conservatives want people talking because it makes it easier for them when they run for office.

According to my research, it wasn’t Republicans who demanded the government establish Ministries of Truth and that Big Tech companies tighten control on speech they don’t like.

An Arkansas political action committee sent a mailer to support incumbent Sen. John Boozman claiming that Jake Bequette, a former player in the National Football League and United States Army officer, had lied about his military service.

We found that the claims in the mailer were strongly misleading and deceitful.

Heartland Resurgence PAC sent out a mailer saying that Bequette had lied about his status as an Army Ranger, and also claimed that he joined the Army two years earlier than he really did. It also called the candidate “Fake Jake Bequette.”

The mailer’s flip side promotes Boozman and boasts his endorsement from former President Donald Trump. It also mentions that Boozman is the “son of an Air Force master sergeant,” “Helping Veterans get good-paying jobs in their post-military career” and a “member of Senate Veteran Affairs Committee.”

We were sent documents by his campaign, including the official award of his Ranger tab.

He graduated from Ranger School in 2018, and this is a photo of him.

And him receiving this tab.

It’s still a controversial question in military circles whether finishing training makes one a Ranger or if they only serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment. However, Alex Hollings explained to Sandboxx 2021 that it is not really significant.

Rangers are the ones who lead the way. I am inclined to follow the example of Murphy and a few other prominent Rangers. Some may view “Tabbed” Rangers as imposters, while others might see “Scrolled” Rangers as the only rightful heirs to the Ranger namesake. However, the debate loses sight of the true meaning of each of these (admittedly distinct) achievements.

Ranger School graduation and the 75th Ranger Regiment enlistment are incredible achievements that every service member should be proud of. All those who work hard to earn a Tab and a Scroll deserve respect. There will be much more to the debate, and both sides will have valid points. But from an outside perspective, it might be better to let the tabs and scrolls-wearing guys and gals slug it out, if they so choose.

The mailer, which is trying to discredit Bequette’s military background, is not a hardline believer as to what makes someone a Ranger.

Bequette stated, “It’s disgusting that Senator Boozman has smeared my military service and it shows how desperate he is to distract from his own record right prior to election day.”

He later stated, “It’s a disgrace to watch a Republican U.S. Senator and his surrogates use similar tactics as the radical left has used to attack conservative veterans.”

Jesse Ranney, a campaign representative, stated that Bequette was lying about his years of service. This was due to a typo in the campaign website, which was corrected a few days later. Ranney claims that the previous digital company that ran the campaign misrepresented the year he joined Army and the year he won Super Bowl.

We reached out to a top donor team to inquire about the mailer. Heartland Resurgence doesn’t have any contact information online. The donor declined to comment.

Boozman’s campaign also received contact via email and phone, but they didn’t respond in time to be published.

This Tuesday, May 24, is the Arkansas Republican primary election. A runoff election will be held if none of the primary candidates reach 50 percent.

KUAR reported that a Talk Business & Politics poll and a Hendrix College poll showed Boozman at 45% in the primary polls. Bequette was at 19%. While 18 percent of voters remain undecided and there are others in the race for the seat, the senator will likely face off against Bequette if he can’t get 50 percent.

Trump, former President, responded to shocking testimony from Michael Sussmann that Hillary Clinton authorized false information to be spread to the media alleging there was a secret communication channel between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank.

Robby Mook (ex-Clinton campaign manager) testified Friday in the first criminal case arising out of Special Counsel John Durham’s ongoing investigation into the origins, operation, and operation the Trump Russia probe. He said that Clinton had “approved” and “agreed to” share discredit data.

James Baker (ex-FBI General Counsel) testified that the FBI had investigated data suggesting that Trump was linked to a Kremlin bank, but found nothing.

Trump claimed that intelligence and law enforcement resources were used to investigate Trump and his 2016 campaign associates, disorienting officials from what “could have been a real danger with Russia.” ”

The FBI launched a counterintelligence investigation in July 2016 into Donald Trump’s campaign, and whether his associates were conspiring to or coordinating with the 2016 election.

Mueller’s investigation ended almost two years ago. It hasn’t yielded any evidence regarding criminal conspiracy or coordination between Trump campaign staffers and Russian officials during 2016.

Just after Mueller’s findings were announced, Attorney General Bill Barr tapped Durham. Barr wanted to examine the origins of the FBI’s initial investigation into Trump campaign. Mueller was appointed special counsel.

Mook was cross-examined by Andrew DeFillippis, the government prosecutor. He was asked questions about Clinton’s understanding of the data and his plans to release it to the media.

Mook said that Marc Elias, the campaign general counsel at Perkins Coie at the time, first informed him about the Alfa Bank issue.

Mook claimed that he was told the data had been provided by “experts in this kind of matter.” ”

Mook said that while the campaign was not confident in the validity and reliability of the data, it hoped to give the information to a reporter to “run it down” to determine if it’s “accurate” or substantive. ”

He stated that he discussed the possibility of releasing the information to a reporter with campaign chairman John Podesta, senior policy advisor Jennifer Palmieri and Jake Sullivan, White House National Security Adviser.

Mook later said that he could not recall the exact sequence of events when Clinton asked him if he shared the idea of reporting the Trump-Alfa Bank claims before or after the decision was made.

Sussmann was accused of lying to the FBI. September 2016: He stated to Baker that he was not doing any work for any client. Baker asked for and attended a meeting in which he presented “purported” information and “whitepapers” that allegedly showed a secret communications channel between the Trump Organization, which has ties with Kremlin, and Alfa Bank.

Durham’s team asserts that Sussmann actually worked for Rodney Joffe, a technology executive, and the Hillary Clinton Campaign.

Sussmann pleaded not guilty.

Mook was previously asked by defense whether he or any other Clinton campaign members approved that Sussmann bring the allegations to the FBI. He answered, “No. ”

The defense later questioned Mook asking if Hillary Clinton had approved Sussmann’s entrance to the FBI.

He replied again to the question: “I don’t know…I don’t know why she would.” ”

Baker also stated that an FBI investigation was opened into Trump-Alfa Bank claims. It lasted “several weeks”, possibly a month or a year and half.

Scott Hellman, an FBI Special Agent, testified Tuesday afternoon that data that showed Trump and Russia had been falsified. He also said that he was skeptical of the narrative.

Hellman claimed that the “5150” person who wrote the DNS data narrative was the one who made the conclusion and that he believes that the individual who came up with the conclusions was suffering from some mental disability. ”

Mook’s testimony that Clinton approved a plan to share the Trump-Alfa Bank allegations with the media was after Fox News reported in July 2016 that Clinton had “approved” a plan to tie Trump to Russia. This was done to distract from Clinton’s private mail server.

John Brennan, the then-CIA Director, provided Media with declassified notes after briefing President Obama on July 28th. They were referring specifically to Clinton’s purported proposal from a foreign-policy advisor to denigrate Donald Trump and create a scandal alleging Russian interference.

This memo was heavily redacted.

According to a survey by The Economist/YouGov, most Americans don’t like Critical Race Theory (CRT).

This survey was taken among 1,500 adults in the United States between May 15-17, asking them whether they had a positive or negative opinion about CRT.

52 percent of respondents said that they had an “unfavorable opinion” about Marxist ideology. 45 percent of those surveyed have a “very negative” opinion. Another 45 percent hold a favorable view of radical ideology. However, only 27 percent of these have a “very favorable” opinion. This includes 81 per cent of Democrats. However, the overwhelming majority of Republicans and Independents (88 percent and 65%) view CRT negatively.

41% of respondents said that they don’t know if CRT has been taught in their local schools. A larger number, 44 percent, believe CRT should not taught in their schools. A little over 25%, or 26 percent, believe it should be taught. Another 30% are not sure.

CRT was in the forefront of attention last year during Virginia’s governor’s race. Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) won. He quickly signed an executive decree to get rid of CRT schools after he took office.
These standards don’t allow “pernicious ideologies such as Critical Race Theory” to be taught in K-12 schools, the governor stated. He also promised that tax dollars would not be used for teaching children to hate America.

DeSantis said that every student counts and made it clear that the state does not care about categorizing people based on their race.

The Internal Revenue Service audit found that staff destroyed 30 million tax documents due to a huge backlog. The tax collection agency claims that no taxpayers were affected by the destruction.

Three recommendations were made by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to the IRS for improving its paper tax forms processing and encouraging more e-filing. Two of these recommendations were rejected by the IRS.

According to the TIGTA report signed Michael E. McKenney (deputy inspector general for audit), “This audit was initiated due to the IRS’s inability to process paper-filed tax return backlogs contributed to management’s decision of destroying an estimated 30,000,000 paper-filed information returns documents in March 2021.” These documents are used by the IRS to perform post-processing compliance matches to find taxpayers who have not reported their income accurately.

Last week, the IRS released a public statement regarding the first inspector general report published on May 4.

According to the IRS statement, there were no adverse consequences for taxpayers as a consequence of this action. This action has not resulted in penalties for taxpayers or taxpayers and they will not.

According to the inspector general, the destroyed tax documents comprised W-2 forms as well as 1099 forms. According to the report, the IRS provided inaccurate responses to the inspector general.

The report states that “Although the IRS doesn’t have an exhaustive and accurate list of individual and corporate tax forms that cannot be e-filed,” is of particular concern. “For example, we were provided a list by the IRS on September 16, 2020 that identified 365 tax forms that cannot be e-filed. This list contained inaccuracies that were discovered during our review. The list contained tax forms that could be electronically filed and forms that were not available to be e-filed. We discussed the inaccuracies with IRS management. They stated that the list has not been updated since the calendar year 2018. This was due to agency priorities and limited funds.

According to the inspector general’s report, the IRS was asked to develop a Service-wide strategy that prioritizes and integrates all forms for electronic filing. This recommendation was accepted by the IRS.

The IRS was also recommended by the inspector general to “develop processes, procedures to identify and deal with potentially noncompliant corporate filers.”

The IRS however, objected. According to the report, “The IRS disagreed with that recommendation.” The IRS management stated that corporate filers would be subject to penalties if they fail to electronically file returns as required. They must have filed 250 returns or more and have assets of at least $10 million. These criteria may not all be available or known at the time of filing.

TIGTA suggested that the IRS “develop processes to ensure that penalties against business filers who are not compliant with efiling requirements are consistently assessed.”

The IRS disagreed and stated that the “IRS management stated that it had systemic processes in place to e-file partnership returns and they were working as intended.”

According to the TIGTA report, e-filing has increased in business since 2014 from 41% up to 63%.

All modern famines are man-made, usually the result of war, disease, and stupidity. Experts believe 2022 will be the year of a historic famine, causing a catastrophic food shortage.

The Ukraine War is affecting the output of the second-most significant breadbasket in the world. According to the Economist, Russia, Ukraine, and China together supply 28% of global wheat trade, 29% barley, and 75% sunflower oil.

Russia, Ukraine, and Egypt contribute about half of the cereals imports from Lebanon and Tunisia. Egypt and Libya are two-thirds. Russia has blocked Odesa from taking its waters in order to repel any attack from Ukraine.

The World Food Programme warned that 2022 would be a challenging year, even before the invasion.

The grain price has risen to an all-time high. India announced that it would not export wheat due to prolonged heatwaves.

People are at risk of starvation because of the rising cost of staple foods like wheat, sunflower oil, and barley.

This is unacceptable.

The crisis threatens to get worse. Ukraine had already shipped much of last summer’s crop before the war. Russia is still managing to sell its grain, despite added costs and risks for shippers. However, those Ukrainian silos that are undamaged by the fighting are full of corn and barley. Farmers have nowhere to store their next harvest, due to starting in late June, which may therefore rot. And they lack the fuel and labor to plant the one after that. Russia, for its part, may lack some supplies of the seeds and pesticides it usually buys from the European Union.

But you have to believe that what happened with the COVID-19 vaccine would happen with food as well. There would be a lot of talks internationally about the “responsibility” of rich nations to feed the poorer ones. That may be true to a certain extent — but only after our own people are taken care of. We don’t elect presidents or members of Congress to starve our own people so that leftists can feel good about themselves by giving away the product of American agricultural genius.

Sharing scarcity is impossible. Do you want to see food riots in America? Give away food during times of crisis.
