If Congress really cares about Americans...

If Congress really cares about Americans, then it's time to start ACTING LIKE IT. Irresponsibly passing a bill that you have NO IDEA what's in it is NOT the answer. pic.twitter.com/BwM76ujiaG

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya: 'Censorship killed during this pandemic'

Public health policy expert, Stanford University's Dr. Jay Bhattacharya recently told British news outlet Unherd that he believes mass censorship during the COVID-19 pandemic did much damage including costing lives.

“I do really believe that censorship kills," Bhattacharya said.

"Censorship killed during this pandemic. Policies would have been so much better," he continued.

.@DrJBhattacharya was censored by social media platforms for trying to warn about the disastrous consequences of draconian lockdown policies. Years later, it's clear he was right.

Bhattacharya explained:

"I do think that the polices that were adopted were incredibly damaging to the lives and livelihoods of so many people. 100 million people thrown into poverty worldwide. That’s the estimate from the World Bank. Just the consequences of that itself are going to have tremendous affects on the lives and livelihoods of poor people going forward.

Of course, all these children that were robbed of an education for years. These are absolutely monumental outcomes of the policies we adopted during the pandemic. Those should have been freely discussed. And I think that because, well, the way my view of the scientific evidence, it was so clear, even at the time, that we should not have been closing schools.

And if we had been allowed to have a free and fair discussion I think the schools would not have closed.

If there hadn’t been this sort of de-merit system for people who spoke out against these kinds of policies, automatically, we’re somehow lesser, we might have had more mainstream attention."

The media appears to have collaborated in censorship by government agents

The FBI dictating to a social media platform who’s speech they found acceptable, or not, should be big news. The disinterest displayed by corporate media is a great indicator of who bent the knee, or eagerly collaborated in this un-American censorship by government agents.

Republicans are all-in on massive end-of-the-year spending spree

Stephen Moore writes at the Washington Examiner, “The federal government is running annual $1 trillion to $2 trillion budget deficits, which is more than the entire gross domestic product of most nations. But if you believed that Republicans would take a chainsaw to the budget (figuratively) and slash the waste from the federal budget, then to paraphrase the Oliver Twist character of Fagin, the miser, ‘I think you had better think it out again.’

Even more preposterous is the size of this year's $1.7 trillion ‘omnibus’ spending bill for fiscal 2023 that Christmas-wraps hundreds upon hundreds of billions of congressional spending in one giant gift box to special interests — all with a bright red bow on top.

Few read what's actually in the omnibus. And that's the whole point. No one knows what's in it. This way, the Congress critters can claim plausible deniability when they learn of the subsidies for wool farmers.

The current omnibus seems to be asexually reproducing as the size of the monster keeps getting bigger and bigger. Are Republicans really going to sign on to this 'bipartisan' fiscal disaster? According to Heritage Foundation budget expert Matt Dickerson, it's a real possibility. His numbers show that the lame-duck spending legislation may wind up spending more than the Biden administration's inflationary American Rescue Plan, which cost $1.9 trillion.

Add to this subtotal pension bailout, tax extenders, more COVID-19 relief money, and other odds and ends, and this congressional shopping spree and the omnibus becomes one of the most expensive budgets in American history.”
