Virginia GOP Rep. John McGuire appeared on Newsmax following Dr. Anthony Fauci's roughly three-hour hearing before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, which left Sen. Rand Paul going full crazy pants on the government's former top infectious disease expert. McGuire rambled that vaccines supposedly contain "human fetus baby parts" " apparently by way of something he called a "BLT sandwich" " and grumbled that ivermectin should've been used instead, tossing in a vague accusation that Big Pharma is just profiteering. Then he somehow pivoted to a separate matter: someone - presumably Fauci - facing possible contempt charges (a fine up to $100,000 and up to a year in jail), which he argued isn't a stiff enough penalty. He also echoed Senator Rick Scott's claim that the person in question is dodging accountability by hiding behind what Scott called a "fake auto pen pardon" " and said he hopes to see "accountability and justice" served.
"It is interesting if you read Tony's [Fauci] diaries and his diaries. We didn't know it at the time, but he talks about how he got vaccinated, then later had a pulmonary embolism, which we now know microcoagulation and embolism is a significant injury that's associated with the mRNA vaccines," Redfield said. "So I think the American public was misled in that regard too." He further excoriated narrative pushes around the purpose of the vaccine and the origins of the virus. "This vaccine never prevented infection, so when people said 'vaccinate your children so they don't infect grandma,' that was just a false statement. So very unfortunate," he added. "The American public was definitely misled. [Fauci] definitely had an intentional role, unfortunately, in misleading the American public around the origin of the virus, for sure, around the efficacy of the vaccines, and it's really sad."
The US Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs reports: "The incompetent Trumpf junta has weakened America's counterterrorism defenses by downsizing staff, politicizing intelligence, cutting grants and forcing federal agents to focus on immigration enforcement, skewing its focus on domestic terrorism almost exclusively to left-wing groups, ignoring significant threats from far-right and white supremacist extremists."

Boy George has withdrawn from the West End Jesus Christ Superstar revival just days before he was set to appear in the role of King Herod, apparently as a result of the former Culture Club singer's recent release of a pro-Israel song that disputes the charge of genocide and calls pro-Palestine supporters "sheep." Boy George is the opposite of the late George Michael ("Wham!") who anonymously gave away millions of dollars in charity -- including Palestinians -- or Roger Waters ("Pink Floyd") who is risking imprisonment in the UK for denouncing Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank. To be on the wrong side of history is forever; see stories of Judas Iscariot, Oswald Mosely, George Wallace, or Andrew Cuomo for more information.

The ex-wife of Ohio Rep.
