Fauci Privately Acknowledged the Fake Vaccine Could Cause Miscarriages -- But Denied Any Such Risk Publicly
This. Is. Murder. At scale.
WASHINGTON -- Dr. Anthony Fauci privately raised concerns that the COVID-19 vaccine could "theoretically" be linked to miscarriages in expectant mothers, despite having publicly insisted there were "no red flags" for pregnant women. "I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of," wrote Fauci in a Jan. 25, 2021, text exchange with then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. "Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester," added the then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director. Fauci, Walensky and Murthy had been discussing whether the vaccine posed any risks to women who followed the two-shot regimen earlier or later in their pregnancies. Walensky responded to Fauci that the first trimester issues he raised were "definitely a good point, [especially] after dose two." Days later, on Feb. 3, Fauci said during a question-and-answer livestream with the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that the FDA "found thus far, and we have to be careful, but thus far no red flags about that, about pregnant women." ... Other communications between Fauci, Murthy and Walensky also showed them weighing the potential risks of vaccination against the risks posed by SARS-CoV-2, the virus caused by COVID-19. Murthy also mentioned he was "surprised to see WHO [World Health Organization] put out a strong like saying they do not recommend moderna [sic] in pregnant women."
"That's a strong statement to make and potentially quite damaging to public confidence among pregnant women," he told Fauci and Walensky in a text from Jan. 26, 2021. The messages, released by Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), were taken from more than 34,000 texts and 522 voicemails obtained by the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week from Fauci's government-issued cell phone. According to the Republican senators, just three contacts are listed in that phone but it is "too early to determine whether any data has been deleted."

@KatiePavlich The mandated and doctor recommended COVID-19 shot for pregnant women was effectively an abortion shot according to new documents just released by Senators Johnson and Paul. "The authors claimed a miscarriage rate of 12.6%, but the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. This is consistent with the 81% miscarriage rate noted in the Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data. These figures mirror the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU-486."

Abdul El-Sayed Has Repeatedly Endorsed Book Which Praises Left-Wing Violence and the Nihilistic Destruction of the "Summer of Love;" Also Refuses to Even Stop Campaiging with Hasan "Kill Rick Scott" Piker
I'm starting to think this son of a terrorist might be pro-terrorism.
Jon Levine of Free Beacon:Abdul El-Sayed Promoted Leftist 'Radicalization' Book That Endorses Violent Resistance, Praises George Floyd Rioters for 'Property Destruction'Meanwhile, this radical terrorist refuses to break with Hasan Piker, who himself has called for the assassination of Senator Rick Scott and called for "capitalists" to have their throats slit until the streets "run red with blood." Ed Morrissey:
The book, which El-Sayed regularly promoted on his podcast, denounces 'fetishizing distinctions between violence and nonviolence' Jon Levine
August 10, 2026 Abdul El-Sayed, the newly minted Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, repeatedly promoted to his podcast listeners a notorious book that encourages violent rioting and claims the U.S. government "kills untold millions," the Washington Free Beacon can reveal. El-Sayed made the plug for the book, Let This Radicalize You, at least 10 times on his podcast, America Dissected. ... In chapter six: "'Violence' in Social Movements," the authors dismiss peaceful protests as submissive to the state and argue that violent protesters should not necessarily be considered "bad." "Fetishizing distinctions between violence and nonviolence can lead to the indulgence of rhetoric about 'good' and 'bad' protesters, where 'peaceful' protesters are celebrated and 'violent' protesters--for example, those who engage in property destruction that disrupts profit--are viewed as disposable and disreputable," the pair writes. "And when they refer to 'peaceful protest,' they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state." "This licenses people to care about the cause being protested without caring about what happens to the 'bad' protesters. For example, even as significant numbers of people supported the uprisings following the racist murder of George Floyd, many fewer people vocally defended the rights of protesters who were arrested for acts of property destruction and funneled into the racist carceral system," they added.
El-Sayed, however, won't play that game. This weekend, NBC's Kristen Welker pressed the new Democrat nominee for the Senate on his alliance with Hasan Piker, the radical Marxist who claimed, "America deserved 9/11." Will El-Sayed continue to have Piker as a campaign surrogate and ally, Welker asked? El-Sayed changed the subject rather than answer:

Trump Settlels In for Long Siege of Iran
I had hoped for a more "kinetic" operation with Iran done and dusted a year before the mid-terms. But that's now impossible, of course, so a long slow strangulation will do.
Trump to Axios: "We are low-keying it" with IranDuane Patterson writes that Iran is dying economically.
President Trump signaled on Sunday that he's prepared to allow economic pressure on Iran to mount -- as opposed to ordering a new military offensive -- even as the country continues to defy the U.S. Why it matters: Only a week ago, Trump was on the verge of ordering a return to major combat operations. But in an interview with Axios, he did not make any new military threats. Trump also didn't express any anger or frustration about the fact that Iran has been holding up an announcement on a deal with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. On Saturday, Iran issued a new list of demands to allow shipping through the strait. What he's saying: "We are low-keying it," Trump said during a brief phone call. "We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money." He stressed that Iran "is in very bad shape" economically and has no money to pay its troops. The U.S. naval blockade has exacerbated the Iranian regime's economic crisis, Trump said. At the same time, Trump said that with oil down to slightly over $75 a barrel, U.S. consumers are feeling less pain from the war. "It will work out. It always works out. It's like a chess game," Trump said of the back-and-forth with Iran. ... One of the officials said the fighting allowed the Iranian regime to avoid dealing with the consequences of the war, the damage to infrastructure and the deep economic crisis that has been created. When Iran isn't engaged in war, it is forced to confront a grim reality with no real solutions at hand, the U.S. official said. At the same time, the U.S. official said, around 8 million barrels of oil are going out of the Gulf every night through the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the U.S. military. The U.S. is going to try and get more oil out as long as there is no deal.
Let's take a look at life currently in Iran. Miad Maleki is a former United States Treasury official, Air Force veteran, and a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies who follows the Iranian economy like very few others.Iran's official unemployment number hovers just under 10 percent, which is bad, but not calamitous...until you figure in that only four out of ten able-bodied Iranians are even in the workforce seeking jobs. The rest have given up looking for jobs that are not there. And Iran's share of the global economy plunging to less than two one-hundredths of a percent means they're not manufacturing or exporting anything these days that would necessitate employment for anyone outside of the IRGC or Basij forces, who also have been unpaid for months.
A pause in strikes buys the Iranian regime time, not relief. The regime's most crippling reckoning isn't with the U.S. or Israel but it's with its own people. Barely 35% of working-age Iranians actually have a job and the current minimum wage covers barely a quarter of actual living costs. Iranians know their country's true economic potential and know they deserve better, the Islamic Republic's revolutionary ideology is dead, even among the regime's own children. The regime can evade external accountability, but the most punishing thing to the regime right now is to force them to go back to face domestic accountability, an economy that, when not retrained by a state of war, will show its underlying disastrous inflation, unemployment, corrupt trade, war damages, and crippled political institutions. Iran has never been so diplomatically isolated, its share of global trade has collapsed from 2.2% to below 0.02%. That isolation will keep showing up in Iran's economy as businesses, even in friendly countries, refuse to risk trade and investment there given sanctions exposure and war risk.
Mark DubowitzSpeaking of sieges: Ukraine just blew up a Russian oil refinery located 1000 km from its borders.
@mdubowitz The Iranian rial sinks to its lowest level ever: 1,944,000 to USD. It was 70:1 on eve of the Islamic Revolution. The Islamist regime in Iran is a human-made catastrophe.

THE MORNING RANT: About that “Bad” Jobs Report Last Week: Private-Sector Jobs Increased, Government Jobs Decreased
[Chart is from Pew Research. See link below.]
Following the release of last week’s jobs report, which showed that total employment in the U.S. had dropped by 23,000 persons, there was a lot of high-fiving and chest bumping among Democrats and their NeverTrump “conservative” allies. The message they are triumphantly bleating is that the Trump economy is shedding jobs.
It’s partially true – the Trump economy is causing some people to lose their jobs, especially government workers and non-citizens. We elected Donald Trump to do just that.
Lost amidst all the triumphal “bad jobs report” noise is the fact that private-sector employment is increasing, with solid gains in manufacturing and construction jobs. This is consistent with the point I keep hammering in recent articles at The American Spectator, discussing how there is an explosion of industrial construction going on right now in the U.S.
This headline from Bloomberg was typical, but at least it did note that concurrent with lost jobs, the unemployment rate actually fell: “U.S. Employers Unexpectedly Shed Jobs; Unemployment Rate Falls”
The unemployment rate fell to 4.1% as labor force participation continued to slide.Yes, “labor force participation” by non-citizens decreased. But the unemployment rate keeps falling as actual U.S. citizens gain employment. Buried in this Bloomberg piece is another interesting number:
Private-sector payrolls rose by 30,000 for a second month…So to be clear, private-sector employers are not actually shedding jobs, it’s government that is shedding jobs. As reported by NBC, the Bureau of Labor Statistics ”showed a 5,000 payroll gain in the manufacturing sector in July and an additional 22,000 roles in construction.” This CNBC piece further explains that ”The main reason for the red headline number was a loss of 53,000 government workers.” The math works, and I’m not terribly bothered by this math: 53,000 displaced government workers were mostly offset by 30,000 new private sector jobs, resulting in a net loss of 23,000. I’d like to see continued momentum in both of these inputs – more reductions in government employment and accelerating private-sector job creation. To be clear, I don’t wish economic harm to those displaced government workers. I’d like for them to find gainful employment in the private sector. I’m going to repeat myself on the political significance of reducing government employment. All of those “Reagan conservatives” in legacy media who incessantly state that “Trump is not a true conservative” spent decades promoting “smaller government.” Suckers like me contributed money and bought subscriptions, believing they meant it. They didn’t. Trump is now doing what Conservatism, Inc. pretended to advocate for, and now all those “Reagan conservatives” are allying with Democrats and the left to protect the government behemoth from Trump. Here are a few more headlines about who is losing their jobs in the “Trump economy”: “U.S. Employers Told to Dismiss Thousands of Immigrant Workers” [NY Times – 7/10/2026] “Federal workforce shrank 10% in Trump’s first year back in office” [Pew Research – 3/13/2026] “Employers Fear Labor Shortage as Many Immigrants Lose Protected Status” [NY Times – 7/26/2026] “Laid-off H-1B workers return to India, face lower pay as Big Tech expands GCCs” [The American Bazaar – 7/09/2026] “Is the American Dream fading? Inside the ‘reverse migration’ of Indian techies from US” [Firstpost – 8/034/2026] This is why Trump was elected. We need to be careful not to get swayed by headlines that conflate foreigners and government workers losing their jobs with what is going on regarding private-sector hiring of U.S. citizens. There is good news on that front, and it’s getting better. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

El-Sayed is married to Sarah Jukaku, a former University of Michigan student who once served as president of that school’s campus MSA. El-Sayed’s father-in-law is Dr. Jukaku Tayeb, a nephrologist and a former president (and current board member) of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. El-Sayed’s father-in-law is Dr. Jukaku Tayeb, a nephrologist and a former president (and current board member) of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.Then you're as American as Humus, or HAMAS! or pizza, the kind that explodes in a pizzeria that maims and mangles everyone in sight.
It’s disheartening to look back and realize that, despite renewed diplomatic pressure and advocacy, Tamimi still has not been extradited—just as reported in 2021, when Legal Insurrection marked the bombing’s 20th anniversary. A Hamas “journalist” born in Jordan, Tamimi is, above all, a religious fanatic who saw the Sbarro attack as one of her “best deeds,” calculated in every respect to maximize the carnage.Jukaku? Is that a cross between Jiu Jitsu and Bukakke? At any rate that CAIR should even exist is a stain on justice, common decency and civilization itself.
In the summer 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial, it was learned that CAIR’s parent organization, the Islamic Association for Palestine, had been named in a May 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memorandum as one of the Brotherhood’s likeminded “organizations of our friends” who shared the common goal of conducting “a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands … so that … God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions.”Meh, Look at what far too many of our fellow citizens - in name only — are cheering on and voting for, as I discussed at length here and on the latest episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar. And yet this Francesca Hong slag much to my horror might actually have a shot, or is likely going to win the governorship of Wisconsin. Hopefully my fellow Dairy staters can wake me up from this nightmare and put my mind at ease...
A democratic socialist member of the state Assembly and the prohibitive favorite to succeed Gov. Tony Evers as the Democratic nominee for his office come Tuesday, Hong has featured in headlines for all of the wrong reasons over the last few weeks. In a much-maligned November 2020 tweet, she called on officials to “Cancel Thanksgiving.”...Hong’s message is a resentful, revanchist one — and it’s landing on the right ears. The first question she fielded at the Sheboygan town hall was about what she would do to progressives’ favorite boogeyman: Elon Musk. Answer: “I will use every tool in the executive’s office to make sure that we are not only holding Elon Musk accountable, but that we are prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law individual ICE agents who break the law.”We are facing terminal cancer as a nation and society.
Thunderous applause. . . Nationally, Hong has been portrayed as a kind of living joke, a ditzy relic of Peak Woke who compares unfavorably to more polished far-left figures like New York’s Zohran Mamdani and Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed. Those portrayals miss the meaning of her candidacy entirely.
Because beneath the flighty calls for more witch poems and empty appeals to joy, there’s an irrepressible anger that she’s offering a vengeful, self-righteous seeming outlet for. And hatred dressed up as love is just about the most alluring thing there is.
In revealing the commonalities of the Reds and the Greens in the Red-Green Axis, we have elucidated their shared goals of violence, wealth redistribution, inequality before the law, a binary world, and monopoly rule by the elites. Here we explore their intent to reshape the totality of society. Islamic political systems and Marxist-Leninist communism both claim more than the right to regulate what is currently unsettled. Each claims the standing authority to redraw, at will, the line between what the system controls and what it leaves alone. A domain currently left to private choice is never permanently protected from the system; it is simply not yet a priority. . . Clearly, Muslims and Communists are intent on “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”Have a good day,

Music Thread: A Little Of This...A Littler Of That!

I remember Lyle Lovett from the 1990s, And he has been an occasional presence on my various music lists since then. But I was reminded just how good he is last weekend at a friend's house, when he played a couple of Lovett songs I hadn't heard in a very long time, and in fact had forgotten!
That was a mistake. He is a fine singer, a fine guitar player, and a fine songwriter.
I don't know much about him other than his obvious talent. I don't know his politics or his sexuality or gender or favorite color...and I like it that way.
