Our declining rule of law

The Friday Letter / No 445 / Orlando, Florida

If a Trump loyalist stood accused of the corruption that is suspected of Anthony Fauci, we would already have an indictment, conviction, and possibly even a sentencing. Think of Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Carter Page, and Michael Flynn. Instead, Dr. Fauci finds company with Hillary Clinton, Lois Lerner, John Brennan, James Clapper, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, Eric Holder, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, Joe Biden, and Hunter Biden: unquestioned, unexamined, unaccountable.

Remember John Durham and the indictments he was supposed to deliver? Gone, forgotten.

Citing emails obtained by the liberal website Buzz Feed, Tucker Carlson accused Fauci of concealing his role in the CCP coronavirus pandemic.

“From the beginning,” Carlson said in his June 3 monologue at FNC, “Fauci was worried the public might conclude that Covid originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Why was Fauci concerned that Americans would conclude that? Because Fauci knew perfectly well he'd funded gain-of-function experiments at that same laboratory.”

Fauci can't deny his knowledge of these facts. Emails prove it. On Jan. 31, 2020, immunologist Kristian G. Anderson – presumably friendly with Dr. Fauci as his email salutation is “Hi Tony” – tells Fauci that “The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (<0.1%) so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered.”

Fauci responded the next day: “Thanks Kristian. Talk soon on the call.” Then he sent an urgent warning to his deputy: “It is essential we speak this a.m. Keep your cell phone on.”

Dr. Fauci lied under oath to Congress. He denied what we now know are facts. Years ago a medical doctor did six months in federal prison because she lied to a Congressional committee, her sole purpose being to protect a patient's privacy. Dr. Fauci can confidently know that he will never pay any price. And unless Trump is re-elected, he won't even be fired.

The United States are at war with China, but Joe Biden doesn't know it. Demented and confused, manipulated by his handlers, he embarrasses us abroad with pronouncements that our biggest threats are “systemic racism” and global warming.

In the news . . .

A Virginia public high school that has been an incubator of Muslim terrorists featured a commencement speaker who told graduates they face a world of white supremacy and capitalism, and the class president's vulgar bastardization of the Pledge of Allegiance in which she invoked “one nation under Allah. ” – From a story at the Daily Wire.

Great strides in epidemiology. Parents in Gainesville, Fla., gathered up six masks their children had worn at school and sent them to the University of Florida's Mass Spectrometry Research and Education Center for analysis. As Scott Morefield writes at TownHall, make sure you are not eating dinner when you read this: A press release reports that “five of the masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. No viruses were detected on the masks, although the test is capable of detecting viruses.”

Slow learners. Despite the Supreme Court's ruling that Jack Phillips doesn't have to cave to the demands of radical homosexual extremists, a Colorado court isn't giving up on ruining the cake-maker's business and teaching the rest of the world that entrepreneurs have no say in how to run their businesses. Phillips was recently fined $500 for refusing to make some kind of a rainbow cake for a man who claims to be a woman. Conveniently, the plaintiff is an attorney who knows how to shop around for victims. – from a story at The Federalist.

Fed up with Lisa. We pay little heed to most election polls as products of leftist propaganda, especially those from the New York Times. This one caught our attention, however, because of the wide spread between Alaska's incumbent U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski and her conservative challenger for the 2022 primary election. In a Times-commissioned poll, conservative Kelly Tshibaka leads liberal Murkowski 39-19. Democrat Al Gross comes in at 25, with 17 percent undecided or others.

Continuing the party line, Joe Biden tells a journalist in a press conference that “rioters” killed Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick during the Jan. 6 breach. Sicknick died the next day, of a stroke. He was not attacked with a fire extinguisher as Democrats and their media partners continue to claim.

2020 election fraud update

In Georgia, a Fulton County election official admitted in writing that the chain of custody documentation is missing on 18,901 absentee ballots from the 2020 election. The undocumented ballots, about 25% of the total absentee ballots left in unattended drop boxes during Georgia's 41-day voting period, are more than the 12,000-vote margin of Biden's certified victory over Trump, the Georgia Star-News reports. Between 75,000 and 78,000 ballots surfaced after official counting had been completed.

‘Higher’ education

Or, more reasons not to waste your money at U.S. colleges. The University of Oklahoma rejected an appeal from F.I.R.E., the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, to drop its requirement that faculty, staff, and some graduate students agree with its stated political viewpoints in order to complete a “diversity” training program. One of the requirements is to accept the university's position that it is possible to change one's sex.

How to stay popular in Washington

Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett apparently got the message. In their confirmation hearings Senate Democrats accused them of planning to overturn Obamacare, the government-run healthcare system, as unconstitutional. On Thursday Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Thomas joined the four liberals to uphold the law in its entirety. Only Gorsuch and Alito dissented in the 7-2 vote.
