Ron Johnson questions ‘big push’ to vaccinate ‘everybody’
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in a Thursday podcast interview cast doubt on the importance of vaccinating the nation for COVID-19, saying he’s getting “highly suspicious” of the “big push to make sure everybody gets the vaccine.”
“The science tells us that vaccines are 95 percent effective, so if you have a vaccine, quite honestly, what do you care if your neighbor has one or not?” Johnson said during an appearance on “The Vicki McKenna Show.” He also asked “what’s the point” of striving to get “everybody” the COVID-19 shot.
“Why is this big push to make sure everybody gets a vaccine, and it’s to the point where you better impose it, you’re gonna shame people, you’re gonna force them to carry a card to prove that they’ve been vaccinated so they can just be in society,” he added.

Norway’s Institute of Public Health Says, “Everyone in Norway will be at greater risk of disease and death by choosing the AstraZeneca vaccine than waiting for another”
Here’s how FHI calculates the risk of disease and death of AstraZeneca and COVID-19:
In Norway, five cases of serious incidents have been reported after vaccination.
Three of these have died.
Ale contracted the symptoms seven to 10 days after vaccination.
They were between 32 and 54 years old.
FHI has calculated the mortality rate (how many of the vaccinated people have died, red.amn.) in Norway of 2.3 people per 100,000 vaccinated.
In Norway today, there will generally be a greater risk of dying by being vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine than the risk of dying from the COVID-18 disease, according to FHI. . .

Texas Sues Biden Administration for Allegedly Disregarding COVID-19 Rules at Border
The attorney general of Texas on Thursday sued President Joe Biden’s administration for allegedly flouting its own COVID-19 rules in handling the surge of illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico.
Administration officials “have abandoned the preexisting protections against the introduction into Texas and the United States of aliens infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus during a pandemic,” the 34-page lawsuit states.

8-Year-Old Saves Sister Choking on Chicken Nugget Using Tip From John Cena
An 8-year-old boy from Hazleton, Pennsylvania, is being hailed for saving his 20-month-old sister, Leila Dempsey, from choking. The young man had seen an episode of Nickelodeon’s “The Substitute” that featured wrestler and actor John Cena where he provided tips on how to save someone choking. The siblings were in a car with their dad going for a haircut when Leila started to choke on a chicken nugget. “I was just listening to music, I think. Then I heard her choking,” said Jaxson, Inside Edition reported. “I looked to my left and saw my sister’s face purple and red, so I patted her on the back, told my dad to pull over, then I started patting her on the back, and I dislodged a nugget.” Jaxson credits the TV show for teaching him how to save someone’s life. “It’s called The Substitutes on Nickelodeon, and in the very first episode, …
Behind Bitcoin’s Recent Slide: Imploding Bets, Forced Liquidations
Bitcoin’s rally appears to be running out of steam, at least for now.
The digital currency dropped again Friday, briefly falling below $50,000—a decline of more than 20% from its record of $64,829 on April 14.
Bitcoin’s high coincided with the stock-market debut of Coinbase Global Inc., the biggest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange. The two events marked the pinnacle of a heady rally for cryptocurrencies that began last year. Bitcoin’s price more than tripled in 2020 and doubled to start 2021 before slipping.
The rally cratered last Saturday when bitcoin suddenly fell as much as 17% to $52,149—with half the decline occurring in about 20 minutes. Although it recovered some of those losses by Monday, the price has steadily declined, sitting Friday afternoon at $50,620. . .
Judicial Watch Fights Hard Left “Critical Race Theory”
Not long ago, Critical Race Theory was the territory of far-left academics pushing the boundaries of Marxism and nihilistic counterparts such as radical feminism and post-structuralism. All the philosophies to one degree or another advanced the notion that objective truth and standards—in society, in institutions, in law—do not exist. All reality is contingent, all is in flux, all is a construct of language and illusion. One person’s truth is another person’s lies.
Critical Race Theory emerged from this philosophical train wreck in the 1980s to say that Western civilization—and the American experiment in particular—is suffused to its core by white supremacy, white privilege, and institutionalized racism, and must be dismantled. For a long time, CRT was dismissed as an esoteric academic fad. But ideas have consequences and today, in the mysterious alchemy of social upheaval, Critical Race Theory suddenly is everywhere, its poisonous agenda swiftly moving through universities and public schools, government, law, science, business, and the media.
Rooted in the Left doctrine of class struggle, CRT teaches that U.S. society—our culture, laws, beliefs, and modes of governance—are a racist system devoted to upholding the power of white people. CRT is closely linked the new cancel culture. Dissenters from this new orthodoxy are punished. Freedom of speech is dismissed, and open debate is canceled, as we’ll see below in the case of high school coach David Flynn.
The rhetoric of this radicalism is cloaked in the language of social justice, but if you “peel back the layers of ideology and you get to the core of this belief system,” notes writer Christopher Rufo, “they’re advocating for a kind of cultural revolution, steeped in Marxism, adjusted to identity politics, and now activated through Black Lives Matter, through Critical Race Theory, and absurdly through even corporate HR departments.” For more on CRT, see this Heritage Foundation special report.
Judicial Watch is fighting back. Three cases, in particular, illustrate the scope of the Critical Race problem. Tellingly, they all involve schools—a key battleground in this war of ideas. . .
Joe Biden Masks Up for Zoom Call with 16 Other World Leaders. He’s the Only One.
Please review the CDC mask guidelines at your convenience. It lays out when, where, and how we’re supposed to wear masks for totally unarguable sciencey reasons. At no point does it say you should mask up while on a conference call. Yet that’s what Joe Biden did on Thursday during a video conference with other world leaders, even after getting both his jabs. If you were wondering why Democrats are so uninformed about the ‘rona, wonder no more. It may very well be because this is their intellectual superior. Just a hunch.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. It has to be twice as many in the world leader group text they don’t let Biden on.
