Throughout Chris Cillizza’s long career as a “journalist” and “political commentator,” he has shown himself repeatedly to be a dutiful propagandist for the left, never daring to get even close to an independent thought and instead faithfully reflecting whatever the political and media elites wanted him to think. And that is still largely the case, but these are unusual times, and even Cillizza has demonstrated a shocking level of independence for a leftist journo, even daring to say that Donald Trump, the veritable focus of evil in the modern world, may have been right about something. Et tu, Cillizza? Yes: for the left, it has come even to this.
Cillizza wrote on X Monday: “I screwed up. Back in May 2020, I wrote how Anthony Fauci had ‘crushed’ Donald Trump’s lab-leak theory for how Covid-19 originated The CIA said over the weekend that they now believed the virus leaked from a lab.”
To get an idea of how big this admission is, consider that Cillizza’s Substack bears a heading that boasts about Trump’s disdain for him: “So What: Donald Trump once called me ‘one of the dumber and least respected of the political pundits.’ So I got that going for me. I write about politics — mostly — with humor, transparency, and authenticity. 2-3 posts a day.” Well, he writes about politics, anyway, and actually approached some transparency and authenticity in his Monday thread on X.
Cillizza noted a recent assessment from the CIA — and they wouldn’t lie to us, now, would they? “Here’s a CIA spokesperson: ‘CIA assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting.’” Since this so sharply differs from what the CIA and the entire political and media establishment were telling us at the time, it is worth crediting, even though it does come from the CIA. And Cillizza was man enough to recognize its implications for his previous “reporting.”
Cillizza followed up the CIA assessment with this: “Which, if you’re keeping track, is what Donald Trump and lots of prominent conservatives — most notably Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton — have been saying for a very long time now. And, candidly, they have taken a lot of s**t for it. Including from me.” He even added: “My belief back then was that if this was a debate between Donald Trump and Anthony Fauci on the origins of a pandemic-level virus, I was going to go with the guy who spent his entire career studying this stuff, not the reality TV-star-turned-president.” And: “Except, it now appears that the reality TV-star-turned-president was right. And Anthony Fauci was wrong.”
Biden's frenzy of pardons in his last few days and hours as President could end up covering a host of crimes. The concept of 'preemptive pardons' is completely absurd and must be taken to the Supreme Court to be trashed. The extraordinary criminality in the White House and the Pentagon over the past four years must be closely examined and charges laid where warranted. This should be a normal procedure after every administration.
Biden's myriad of preemptive pardons includes his whole family, numerous Deep Staters, God only knows who else. It's an admission that laws are for the other guys, not for friends and family of the President.
NIH adviser David Morens can’t recall if he deleted
COVID records, laughs off Fauci FOIA evasions

A top adviser at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) deleted records critical to uncovering the origins of COVID-19 — and used a “secret back channel” to help Dr. Anthony Fauci and a federal grantee that funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, evade transparency.
NIH senior adviser Dr. David Morens improperly conducted official government business from his private email account and solicited help from the NIH’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office to dodge records requests, according to emails revealed in a memo by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which The Post obtained Wednesday.
“[I] learned from our foia [sic] lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia’d [sic] but before the search starts,” Morens wrote in a Feb. 24, 2021, email. “Plus I deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail [sic].”
The 35-page memo by subcommittee majority staff also suggests Fauci participated “in a conspiracy amongst the highest levels” of the agency to “hide” and potentially “destroy official records regarding the origins of COVID-19.”
“I ask you both that NOTHING gets sent to me except to my gmail [sic],” he emphasized again in a Nov. 18, 2021, email to EcoHealth Alliance president Dr. Peter Daszak, whose organization was suspended this month from receiving federal funds for the next three years and who was himself proposed for debarment on Wednesday.
In the most shocking exchange, on May 28, 2021, NIH’s Office of the General Counsel instructed the agency’s FOIA office to “not release anything having to do with EcoHealth Alliance/WIV,” referring to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“[T]here is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail [sic], or hand it to him at work or at his house,” Morens wrote in an April 21, 2021, email. “He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.”
“We are all smart enough to know to never have smoking guns, and if we did we wouldn’t put them in emails and if we found them we’d delete them,” read a June 16, 2020, email sent just two months after EcoHealth’s Wuhan grant was initially suspended.
“If i [sic] had to bet, i [sic] would guess that beneath Tony’s macho I-am-not-worried reaction he really is concerned,” Morens also wrote in an April 22, 2021, email about Fauci’s private worries over the EcoHealth grant.
On Oct. 5, 2021, in an email sent days before the NIH would acknowledge EcoHealth funded the risky virus experiments in Wuhan, Daszak leaned on Morens to have “the NIH FoIA [sic] group actually help reduce the scope and make some useful redactions” about the grant.
The 35-page memo by subcommittee majority staff also suggests Fauci, Morens’ former boss at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), participated “in a conspiracy amongst the highest levels” of the agency to “hide” and potentially “destroy official records regarding the origins of COVID-19.”
Morens appeared before the subcommittee Wednesday afternoon to testify about his boasts of destroying “smoking gun” emails about the COVID-19 pandemic, which one former grant fraud investigator told The Post had been “flagrant and intentional misconduct.”
“He has violated the ethical standards of conduct for executive branch employees and has potentially violated criminal law,” said Diane Cutler, an ex-investigator for the US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.
Both Republicans and Democrats on the panel were united in their denunciations of Morens.
“The information contained in these 30,000 pages of emails are deeply concerning, and in my opinion reflects poorly upon Dr. Morens and the Office of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease under Dr. Fauci’s leadership and the NIH under Dr. Francis Collins,” Subcommittee chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) said in his opening remarks.
“Dr. Fauci’s NIAID was unfortunately less pristine than so many, including the media, would have had us all believe,” he added.
“Dr. Tabak,” asked Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, “did NIH fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through [Manhattan-based nonprofit] EcoHealth [Alliance]?”
“It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” Tabak answered. “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.”
Tabak added that “this is research, the generic term [gain-of-function], is research that goes on in many, many labs around the country. It is not regulated. And the reason it’s not regulated is it poses no threat or harm to anybody.”
How many millions of people died from this harmless activity?
Dr. Bryce Nickels, a professor of genetics at Rutgers University and co-founder of the pandemic oversight group Biosafety Now, told The Post the exchange “was two people talking past each other.”
“Tabak was engaging in the usual obfuscation and semantic manipulation that is so frustrating and pointless,” Nickels said, adding that the NIH bigwig was resisting accountability for risky research that can create pathogens of pandemic potential.
“Instead of addressing this directly, Tabak launched into a useless response about how ‘gain-of-function’ encompasses many types of experiments,” he added.
In July 2023, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) barred the Wuhan Institute of Virology from receiving federal grants for the next 10 years.
EcoHealth Alliance, whose mission statement declares it is “working to prevent pandemics,” had all of its grant funding pulled by HHS for the next three years on Tuesday.
"Working to prevent pandemics" is the precise opposite of what they actually did. They shouldn't have a 3-year suspension, they should have a 30-year prison sentence.
EcoHealth Alliance president Dr. Peter Daszak, in a hearing earlier this month before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, testified that his organization “never has and did not do gain-of-function research, by definition.”
But that claim directly contradicted Daszak’s private correspondence, including a 2016 email in which he celebrated the end of an Obama administration pause on gain-of-function research.
The EcoHealth head was also called out in sworn testimony to the COVID panel by Dr. Ralph Baric, a leading coronavirologist who initiated the research himself and declared it was “absolutely” gain-of-function.
He did not describe it as gain-of-function research — but disclosed that EcoHealth “failed to report” the bat coronaviruses modified with SARS and MERS viruses had been made 10,000 times more infectious, in violation of its grant terms.
The NIH scrubbed its website of a longstanding definition for gain-of-function research the same day that the letter was sent.
Tabak also noted in his October 2021 letter that the “sequences of the viruses are genetically very distant” from COVID-19 — but other grant proposals from EcoHealth have since drawn scrutiny for their genetic similarities.
Fauci has repeatedly denied that the Wuhan lab research involved gain-of-function experiments, clashing with Republicans in high-profile hearings and “playing semantics” with the term during a closed-door interview with the House COVID panel earlier this year.
“He needs to define his definition of gain-of-function research, because as I have through this process in the last three years, read many, many published articles about gain-of-function research, or creation of a chimera, this is a new one,” COVID subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) said following Fauci’s grilling in January.
Fauci ignored The Post’s questions about gain-of-function research in Wuhan during two days of closed-door testimony with the House subcommittee in January.

The ex-NIAID head and White House medical adviser under President Biden was escorted by Capitol Police and his attorneys to and from the committee room for his two days of interviews — and repeatedly dodged The Post’s questions about gain-of-function research and pandemic lockdown restrictions.
In 2021, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) held Fauci’s feet to the fire over the evasions in several hearings.
“The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,”Fauci declared that May.
That tells you all you ever need to know about Fauci.
(It would really help if you actually identified the part of a post that you find offensive. I am hard pressed to find what that is in this article which was written by Peter Navarro - Peter Kent Navarro is an American political figure who served in the Trump administration as the Assistant to the President, Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, and the national Defense Production Act policy coordinator.Wikipedia
Nevertheless, I removed one sentence that you might have considered objectionable. Please review and see if it now meets your curious community standards.)

Dr. Robert W Malone was one of the inventers of the mRNA vaccine. He has been attacked in almost every major news media in the world for stating emphatically that mRNA vaccines are not 'fit-for-purpose'. The list of MSM news outlets that attacked Malone is a list of news outlets controlled by Deep State/Big Pharma.

As the COVIDcrisis winds down, we must hold those people responsible for the creation and release of this manufactured virus accountable. That includes people in the administrative state that funded the gain-of-function research. That made the creation of this virus possible. As Mr. Navarro so elegantly expresses, those who helped with the cover-up of the origins must also be held accountable for their crimes.
As a first-person witness to what happened in the White House during 2020, Peter Navarro is uniquely positioned to comment on how NIH and Health and Human Services (HHS) lied to those in Trump’s administration as to how this virus was created. They knew. They lied. They must be held accountable.
Hold Fauci and Co-Conspirators Accountable For Their Murderous Coverup
In confessing he conspired with Tony Fauci to hide the Wuhan lab origin of the COVID-19 virus from President Trump and the American people, Dr. Robert Kadlec has called for “accountability.” Congress and the Department of Justice should take Kadlec up on that offer while every presidential candidate should promise to bring Fauci and his co-conspirators to a quick and rough justice. Kadlec is no slouch, no Cassidy Hutchinson-type secretary offering salacious gossip for 15 minutes of fame. As Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at Health and Human Services, Kadlec played a key role in developing the COVID-19 vaccine through Operation Warp Speed.
I met Bob Kadlec in February of 2020 at the dawn of the pandemic as I began intense efforts at the White House to ready our country for the Chinese Communist whirlwind that might engulf us. In my first interaction, Bob was uncooperative. However, he quickly changed his tune after a “don’t mess with Trump’s White House” terse exchange.
Bob was one of the few in our health care bureaucracy taking the threat seriously early in the pandemic. I, along with POTUS himself, were among the very few in the White House who grasped COVID-19’s potential seriousness. Together, Bob and I would do some very good work shoring up our personal protective equipment supply chains and advancing initiatives like those involving COVID-19 treatments, e.g., monoclonal antibodies.
I’m not shocked by Kadlec’s confession that Fauci lied and Americans died – I have documented Fauci’s serial treacheries in my White House memoirs In Trump Time and Taking Back Trump’s America. However, I am shocked that Kadlec, a former Air Force physician, would conspire with Fauci in the most deadly cover-up in American history.
Here’s how I explained the catastrophic consequences in my memoirs: “If Fauci had simply come clean, President Trump would have demanded that President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party immediately reveal the truth about the virus and, most importantly, release the original genome of the virus China’s scientists had genetically engineered.
I cannot overstate how important this single act of transparency on the part of Communist China would have been. The quasi-vaccines that have been developed to fight the Wuhan virus have turned out to be both primitive and dangerous instruments. These mRNA quasi-vaccines are not true and safe vaccines like those for small pox and polio but, as Dr. [Robert] Malone and I have explained [in the Washington Times], they are merely leaky and non-durable gene-therapy technologies with a wide range of very dangerous side effects.
If, on the other hand, with the benefit of the original genome, we had known from the beginning what we were up against, our vaccine strategy would have been far more complex, effective, and safe. Millions of lives around the world could have been saved.”
As Kadlec tells it to Sky News’ Sharri Markson, Fauci engineered his murderous cover-up to protect his reputation. He wanted to hide at all costs that he had funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct its bioweapons research. Fauci also wanted to bury the fact he had transferred cutting edge “gain of function” technologies to Communist Chinese researchers like the infamous Shi Zhengli. This so-called “bat lady” would use Fauci’s Frankenstein tools to turn benign viruses from nature into microscopic monsters capable of killing humans in the most agonizing of ways.
Yet, there is more to this story than Kadlec lets on. Fauci, together with his NIH boss Francis Collins, no doubt engineered his cover-up as part of his broader push to develop a vaccine that would earn billions of dollars for Fauci’s Big Pharma benefactors.
As for Kadlec, Bob would always agree with me in private that hydroxychloroquine – a Trump favorite -- was one of our cheapest and most effective COVID-19 treatments. Yet, Kadlec, would never go public with that view, much less pressure the FDA’s Stephen Hahn or Fauci to stand down on their hydroxy opposition.
In the meantime, legacy media pundits, led by CNN’s anchor John Berman, shamelessly peddled Fauci’s hydroxy hysteria. Hundreds of thousands of Americans denied hydroxychloroquine by their own government, and afraid of the medicine, would needlessly die.
In the end, hydroxy hysteria was just one more way for Fauci, Big Pharma and Kadlec himself to advance their broader vaccine agenda. For once the FDA pulled the Emergency Use Authorization for hydroxychloroquine – against the direct orders of President Trump – the FDA could then issue an EUA for the vaccine.
In closing, lest anyone question the claim that the vaccine itself has, on net, harmed far more people than it has helped, let me point you to the excellent work of analysts like Ed Dowd, the aforementioned Dr. Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Steven Hatfill who collectively have documented the carnage.
Peter Navarro served in the Trump White House as manufacturing czar and chief China strategist. Joe Biden’s weaponized Department of InJustice is currently trying to put Peter in prison. If they can come for Peter, they can come for you.
Peter Kent Navarro is an American political figure who served in the Trump administration as the Assistant to the President, Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, and the national Defense Production Act policy coordinator.
There are a little over 5 million people in New Zealand, fewer than in the city-state of Singapore. Yet, 11,000 politicians and elite managed to avoid getting Covid_19 vaccinations. Are these people still alive? Or, have they suddenly disappeared as if the Rapture hit New Zealand and nowhere else? 😁
How many politicians can there be in New Zealand? Perhaps politicians in all democratic countries should be made to reveal whether or not they received the mRNA vaccines that they so vigorously forced upon us.
