In The NEWS:
CDC advisory panel recommends Pfizer and Modern vaccines over Johnson & Johnson

Women between the ages of 30 anjd 49 are most affected by the blood clotting issue at a rate of about 1 in 100,000 shots.
There have been nine deaths linked to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine through September.
The ‘Normals’ are winning in their fight against Biden’s COVID-19 mandates
OPINION:
There are signs that corrupt politicians and their attendant bureaucracy using COVID-19 to gain complete control of our lives is hitting a wall. Acceptance of anti-science and bizarre edicts are being challenged and rejected by thoughtful and fed-up Americans across the country.
As of now, almost every arbitrary vaccine mandate issued by President Biden has been stopped by federal judges. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s farcical mask mandate suddenly morphed into just a suggestion considering her tortured responses to reporter’s questions about the issue. At least a quarter of New York’s counties has announced that, nah, they’re not complying.
Ms. Hochul now wants everyone to know that the state will not be enforcing the mandate and that she hopes people will do the right thing. Persuasion is always the best approach, but true to their nature, the Democrats have found the feel of those jackboots is just too comfortable.

Pic: NFL touts Chinese Communist propaganda, publishes map claiming Taiwan belongs to China
The map was published as part of the NFL’s announcement that “18 teams have been granted access to 26 International Home Marketing Areas (IHMA) across eight different countries.”
Among the countries listed is China, which includes Taiwan, according to the league’s map.
Joel Glazer, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Owner/Co-Chairman and NFL International Committee Chairman called the announcement “a significant milestone in our efforts to broaden the NFL’s global reach by building long-term relationships with these international markets that will play a large role in the continued growth and expansion of our sport for years to come.”
China claims Taiwan as part of its territory, but the island governs itself as a nation independent from Chinese rule. The NFL’s disregard for Taiwan’s independence sparked backlash on social media.
Boston Tea Party happened 248 years ago today
On March 5, 1770, a street brawl turned deadly riot on King Street in Boston inflamed already rising tensions between the colonists and British. The event that left five colonists dead and six others wounded would come to be known as the Boston Massacre.
Around the same time, a group of colonial merchants and tradesmen founded the Sons of Liberty, a revolutionary group that included prominent patriots like Patrick Henry, Paul Revere, John Hancock and Samuel Adams.
On the morning of December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty rallied against the British government in protest of the arrival Dartmouth, Beaver and Eleanor: three British East India Company ships carrying tea from China.
Thousands of colonists gathered at Griffin’s Wharf where the ships were docked and voted to refuse to pay taxes on the tea. The patriots also refused to allow the tea to be unloaded, stored, sold or used.

Suspected Santa Cruz BLM mural vandals set to face hate crime charge in January
SANTA CRUZ – The two men suspected of vandalizing the Black Lives Matter mural on Center Street will face felony vandalism and reckless driving under the enhancement of a hate crime after Judge Syda Cogliati ruled Wednesday the court found probable cause the defendants committed all three acts.
The men, 20-year-old Brandon Bochat from Santa Cruz and 19-year-old Hagan Warner from Boulder Creek, are suspected of performing two burnouts in Warner’s truck over the Black Lives Matter mural on July 23.
Both men admitted the acts to the authorities but pleaded not guilty in July. The burnouts left large black marks across the mural.
Warner’s attorney, Jeffrey Stotter, argued the act committed by the men was “stupidity and alcohol-fueled,” and that it was “not based on hate for any ethnic group or people of African descent.”
New info indicates good AND bad news regarding Omicron variant
New information indicates good AND bad news regarding the Omicron variant of COVID, though nothing is certain yet. The bad news?
This strain SEEMS to be more transmissible and potentially can more easily out-smart both natural and vaccinated immunity.
The good news? It also SEEMS to be less virulent than other strains.
Either way, Glenn says, he’s worried most about the economic ramifications that have struck our nation — and the world — every time a new COVID strain is discovered…

Politics:
Jan. 6 Committee Confirms Schiff Presented Doctored Text Message Between Meadows and Jordan
The graphic was displayed as the Jan. 6 panel was discussing whether to hold Meadows in contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over information related to the probe.
However, the message was actually a direct quote from former Department of Defense Inspector General Joseph Schmitz, according to The Federalist. The text included an attachment of Schmitz’s determination that Pence could object to electoral votes from states.
The text was also altered to cut off the rest of the sentence, which stated, “in accordance with guidance from founding father Alexander Hamilton and judicial precedence,” the outlet said.
A spokesman for the House panel confirmed to The Epoch Times that the message was doctored.
Congress Approves $200 Million for Israel’s Missile Defense Needs
The National Defense Authorization Act, the sprawling yearly spending bill, allocates $108 million to Iron Dome, Israel’s chief defense against rocket attacks from Hamas and other Iran-armed terror group.
This funding will allow Israel to procure the components necessary to keep Iron Dome operating in the face of mounting regional threats. Some of that money will also make its way back to the United States since the system relies on components made in America.
In addition to missile defense, Congress authorized more than $6 million for joint U.S.-Israeli cybersecurity initiatives. These have become critical in recent years as Iran and other malign regimes use sophisticated hack attacks to disrupt Israel’s defenses and interfere with military operations.
IRS Filings Confirm Left-Wing Zuck Bucks Recipient Funneled Millions Into Manipulating 2020 Election For Biden
“CTCL is a product of the professional Left founded by three veteran Democratic campaign operatives,” the CRC report states.
“In late 2020, these operatives devised a strategy to unseat President Trump by boosting turnout for Democrats in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and other battleground states.”
The same process occurred in Wisconsin, where a local elections clerk said CTCL used its influence to push “five major Democratic base cities” into “election reforms” that sacrificed election integrity.
“As we got closer to the November election, we found out that this outside group had come in and was basically trying to redo our forms and documents that we use statewide. And these people were from out of state and had no business doing that,” she told CRC.

The Real Disinformation Agents: Watch as NBC Tells 4 Lies in a Two-Minute Clip
It is absolutely true that U.S. political discourse is drowning in deliberate disinformation campaigns and lies.
But it comes not from ordinary citizens on Facebook or 4Chan, but from the very media corporations — led by NBC News — that most flagrantly complain about “disinformation” to the point of wanting to censor the internet in its name.
We dissect a two-minute NBC report on Assange from Joe Scarborough and Claire McCaskill to show how casually, easily, aggressively and frequently they tell outright lies.

‘Purported brain-control weaponry’: US blacklists Chinese biotech firms over Uyghur surveillance
Trade with the Academy of Military Medical Sciences and 11 of its research institutes has been restricted by the US Commerce Department over its biotechnology work including “purported brain-control weaponry.”
According to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, “The scientific pursuit of biotechnology and medical innovation can save lives. Unfortunately, the PRC is choosing to use these technologies to pursue control over its people and its repression of members of ethnic and religious minority groups.”
“We cannot allow US commodities, technologies and software that support medical science and biotechnical innovation to be diverted toward uses contrary to US national security,” she said.

What Happened to Journalism? How the Woke Media Abandoned the Working Class | CLIP
Journalism has evolved from a working class trade to an elite profession, with the more highly educated moving into the field, says Batya Ungar-Sargon.
As a result, the profession has shifted away from simply ‘reporting,’ and has become an echo chamber for the elite.
This means the “vast majority of liberal media that’s being produced is being produced for an ever smaller elite, but ever more highly educated elite,” Ungar-Sargon says, adding that “it’s the conservative press that has the working class audience these days.”
