ENDGAME: Rand Paul Wants Criminal Investigation Into Anthony Fauci, Explains Why

ENDGAME: Rand Paul Wants Criminal Investigation Into Anthony Fauci, Explains Why
Brodigan - July 21, 2021 at 07:53AM

Tuesday was a rough day for Anthony Fauci. The media's favorite government bureaucrat should have spent the day on CNN telling Americans to mask up their three-year-old. Instead, he tangled with Rand Paul again. He got slapped around by Rand Paul again. And in the process, may have lied under oath. At least, that's what Senator Paul is claiming.

Paul appeared on Hannity and said he will be asking the Department of Justice for a criminal referral because, according to Sen. Paul, Dr. Fauci lied to congress.

We have scientists that will line up by the dozens to say that the research he was funding was gain-of-function. He's doing this because he has a self interest to cover his tracks and to cover his connection to Wuhan lab. Now does he deserve all the blame? No, there's still some conjecture as to whether or not it came from the lab. But he's lying about whether or not he funded gain-of-function research, and yes, he should be punished.

Gain of Function research, in its simplest definition, is when you take a disease and make it worse for sciencey reasons. It could be to aid in medical discoveries. It could be to create bioweapons. Whether or not it's what caused the 'rona is open for debate. That's what Senator Paul is trying to get to the bottom of.

Whether or not Fauci "lied" depends on how you define "lie." It also depends on how you define "gain of function." In a previous hearing where Rand slapped around Fauci, Fauci claimed the NIH funded Gain of Function research. Fauci said they did not. On Tuesday, Rand let Fauci clarify his statement asking: "You take an animal virus, and you increase its transmissibility to humans, you're saying that's not gain of function?"

Fauci said it's not "Gain of Function." Then Fauci got snippy at the senator because how dare Rand Paul question Fauci who is literally "the science." Here's the rub. Even mainstream media reporters are admitting that, while not calling Fauci a liar, Rand Paul isn't wrong.

Hey guys, @RandPaul was right and Fauci was wrong. The NIH was funding gain of function research in Wuhan but NIH pretended it didn't meet their "gain of function" definition to avoid their own oversight mechanism. SorryNotSorry if that doesn't fit your favorite narrative.

Rand Paul was right and Fauci was wrong. The NIH was funding gain of function research in Wuhan but NIH pretended it didn't meet their "gain of function" definition to avoid their own oversight mechanism.

I'm out of tinfoil to shape into a trucker cap, so I'll just call that "problematic" at the very least. IF the NIH (led by Fauci) changing definitions led to them funding research that led to a global pandemic, all Americans should demand answers. In a perfect world, the Department of Justice would do just that. Sadly this is Joe Biden's DOJ, and they're too busy calling people racist.

Politics being what it is and the Fauci-worship media being what they are, Senator Paul's call for an investigation will probably not go anywhere. That doesn't mean Sen. Paul SHOULDN'T push for more answers. We the American people deserve them. i for one am thankful that Rand Paul isn't backing down.

Border Patrol Chief Refuses to Comply with Biden Admin Orders, Explains Why

Border Patrol Chief Refuses to Comply with Biden Admin Orders, Explains Why
Brodigan - April 28, 2021 at 09:23AM

The border is still in crisis. Believed by some to be because of Joe Biden's alleged incompetence. Yes, this will most likely be glossed over in Wednesday's joint session of Congress. A recent decision to deal with the number of illegal aliens crossing the border at Biden's (alleged) invite is ... telling people not to call them illegal aliens. That's the phrase used in U.S. law. But I guess there are administration officials who believe it hurts people's feelings. So "alien" becomes "migrant." "Illegal" becomes "undocumented." "Assimilation" becomes "integration." Boy becomes girl, cat becomes squirrel, taco becomes hot dog, and so on.

Not impressed is current U.S. Border Patrol chief Rodney S. Scott. He sent a memo to the acting Customs and Border Protection commissioner stating that this newspeak is silly, it's an unnecessary distraction, and he won't comply.

Despite every attempt by USBP leadership to ensure that all official messaging remained consistent with law, fact, and evidence, there is no doubt that the reputation of the USBP has suffered because of the many outside voices. Mandating the use of terms which are inconsistent with law has the potential to further erode public trust in our government institutions.

I am also concerned about the morale of our workforce. To be clear, when I reference morale, I am not referring to an employee's happiness. I am referring to an individual's willingness to take personal risk each day to keep others safe. There are countless human capital studies which indicate that mission criticality and support from leadership affect the willingness of personnel to comply with policy and professional standards.

Scott has this radical idea that instead of executive orders and partisan memos, if the terminology is really that important, legally change the law. Part of the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 changes how illegal or undocumented solve for Xes are referred to in U.S. law. Chief Scott is more than happy to abide by the law. Until then, he has other things to worry about than our senile old coot in chief's virtue-signaling.

Like, say, for instance, the crisis on the border the administration wishes we would stop calling a crisis. That thing.
