This week, a Fox News poll showed that 42% of Americans believe Donald Trump to be among the worst Presidents in our nation’s history, a number unmatched by any outgoing President in the history of modern polling. While shockingly absurd on its face, the poll should serve as a reminder of just how successful the […]

Government, Not COVID-19, Is Killing Small Businesses
Authored by Ron Paul via The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity,
A video of a confrontation between Ventura County, California health officials and restaurant owner Anton Van Happen has gone viral.
"Are you going to pay my rent ? says owner Anton Van Happen of ‘Nick The Greek’ to public health inspectors issuing him a citation for staying open after being issued a closure order. Things got tense pic.twitter.com/9eKCiAjDaw
— Jorge Ventura Media (@VenturaReport) December 15, 2020
The health officials were ordering Mr. Van Happen to close his business because he allegedly violated California’s ban on outdoor dining. Mr. Van Happen asked the health officials if the government will pay his employees and his rent while his business is indefinitely closed.
Mr. Van Happen is hardly the only small business owner worried about how to pay bills during the lockdowns. Many small businesses operate on a narrow profit margin, so being forced to “temporarily” shut down or limit the number of customers they can serve is a virtual death sentence.
The lockdowns have already caused as many as 200,000 small businesses to permanently close. Lockdowns, by shrinking the number of employers, lead to long-term unemployment or lower wages for many workers.
While governments have terrorized small businesses, they have typically deemed the big chain stores “essential businesses” so they can remain open. The lockdowns are thus another government policy that gives big businesses a competitive advantage over their smaller competitors.
The benefits big businesses get from the lockdowns – including fewer competitors, more customers, and a job market with more workers competing for fewer jobs – may explain why many big businesses are not fighting the lockdowns. Instead, most big retail chains are requiring their workers and customers to wear masks. Many big businesses may soon deny service to those who refuse to receive a Covid vaccine.
One would think that progressives who claim to oppose policies that benefit big corporations like WalMart, Target, and Amazon would oppose the lockdowns. Sadly, even many progressives are unquestioningly parroting the Covid propaganda and demonizing those who dissent.
By slowing down the development of herd immunity among the population, the lockdowns could put those truly at risk in greater danger. Lockdowns have also had negative effects such as increases in drug and alcohol abuse and increases in domestic violence. Meanwhile, many schoolchildren are deprived of the opportunity to interact with their teachers and their peers. Instead, these children are subjected to the fraud of “virtual learning.”
Resistance to Covid tyranny is growing as more people figure out that lockdowns and mandates are both unnecessary and harmful. This resistance was largely started by small business owners faced with a choice between obeying the government or making sure they, and their employees, can feed their families. Small business owners have been leaders in recent anti-lockdown protests across America.
Eventually the resistance will grow to the point where the politicians will be forced to either double down on authoritarianism or admit the lockdowns were a mistake. Either way, those of us who know the truth must resist the Covid tyranny until government officials no longer terrorize small businesses for the crime of serving willing consumers.

Just two days before his exit from the Trump administration, Attorney General William Barr, on Monday, announced criminal charges against a third suspect, Abu Agela Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. He is the man accused of having assembled the device that blew up flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. In 1991, two other alleged Libyan intelligence operatives were charged in the Lockerbie bombing: Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah. The Justice Department will unseal the criminal complaint on Monday.
This closes the loop for Barr who, in 1991, laid out charges against two Libyan intelligence officials who are responsible for the deaths of 270 people, including 170 Americans. The Lockerbie bombing took place on Dec. 21, 1988, 32 years ago today. Barr, who was acting Attorney General for former President George H.W. Bush, said at the time that he would pursue the case “unrelentingly until all responsible are brought to justice,” adding that he would track down “those responsible for terrorist acts against Americans . . . no matter how long it takes.” Robert Mueller was head of the Justice Department’s criminal division at the time. On Monday, he told reporters that it is “gratifying to me to be in on this chapter.”
Barr was joined by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers, Acting United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin, and Kara Weipz, whose brother Rick Monetti was killed on the flight and now leads a Pan Am Flight 103 advocacy organization. Barr said the “breakthrough that has led to the charges announced today arose when law enforcement learned in 2016 that the third conspirator had been arrested after the collapse of the Qaddafi regime and interviewed by a Libyan law enforcement officer in September 2012.” The release of the interview led to the current charges. Libya accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing in 2003. Masud was also involved in the 1986 bombing of the LaBelle Discotheque in Berlin, West Germany, which killed two American service members and a Turkish woman. Masud remains in Libyan custody.
During his remarks to the press pool, Barr was questioned about issues that currently captivate and concern many in our country: the Hunter Biden investigation and election fraud. Barr seemed to indicate limited interest in digging into either. With regard to the Biden investigation, he said it is being handled responsibly and no special counsel is needed. Furthermore, he seemed to ignore and minimize the potential conflicts of interest at play should such an investigation continue under a Biden administration.
Referring to the election, he doubled down on his earlier statement, even though in June, he was vocal about the potential risk of fraud associated with the increased use of mail-in ballots due to the pandemic. Barr, in a June 26 NPR Morning Edition interview, said that mass mail-in ballots present “so many occasions for fraud there that cannot be policed. I think it would be very bad. But one of the things I mentioned was the possibility of counterfeiting.”
During his comments to reporters on Monday, Barr seemed to downplay the evidence of widespread fraud saying that all elections have fraud, adding that “we are too tolerant of it.” He reiterated, however, that he has seen no evidence of “systemic or broad-based fraud that would affect the outcome of the 2020 election.” He also said that he sees no reason to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election before he leaves.

News broke that former Vice President Joe Biden was actually considering Chinese communist-sympathizing Walt Disney Company Executive Chairman Robert Iger to become the U.S. ambassador to China.
This potential appointment was enough to set Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on the warpath against Disney’s ridiculous history of appeasing the Chinese government.
During a recent speech on the U.S. Senate floor, Cruz said he would be asking for unanimous consent on his proposed SCRIPT Act, “which would cut off Hollywood studios from the assistance they currently receive from the U.S. federal government if those studios allow the Chinese communist government to censor what they’re producing.” Cruz said that “we’ve seen this pattern over and over and over again: Hollywood being complicit in China censorship and propaganda in the name of bigger profits.”
Cruz then took aim at potential China ambassador pick Iger as being one of those CCP-complicit “Hollywood billionaires,” noting that he’s also a “major Democratic donor.” Cruz particularly hammered Iger for his appeasement of Chinese communist interests:
Disney just came out with the movie Mulan (2020). In the movie Mulan, which the director described as ‘a love letter to China’ — well, this love letter wasn’t subtle because right in the credits at the end of Mulan, they thank the oppressive government forces who are running concentration camps right now with over 1 million Uighurs in prison. Disney gleefully thanked the jack-booted thugs that are carrying out torture and murder.
Cruz concluded: “[A]pparently, the leader of that effort [Iger] is one of the top candidates to be America’s ambassador to China.”
Watch Cruz’s speech below:
Disney’s appeasement of Chinese communists had drawn the ire of the Department of Justice at the behest of free speech groups, which have recognized Disney as one of the U.S. film studios that “compete for the opportunity to access Chinese audiences." In effect, this meant "many are making difficult and troubling compromises on free expression.”
The company had also refused to comment on the star of their Mulan remake, Liu Yifei, for praising CCP police in their tyrannical crackdown on the free people of Hong Kong.
Conservatives are under attack. Contact the Walt Disney Company at TWDC.Corp.Communications@disney.com and demand it stop appeasing Chinese communists.

We at TheBlaze couldn’t be happier to pass along to our readers some holiday musical cheer from our friends at PragerU: "Progressive Sounds of the Season."
No, it’s not an actual musical compilation in the spirit of K-Tel — but it should be.
Instead, it’s a parody video ad for a fictional album, and in the clip Will Witt describes — and unfortunately sings to — holiday tunes with altered lyrics that are sure to please that special woke activist in your life.
"Many of the classic songs we grew up with are just out of date for our time," Witt tells us, tongue firmly in cheek. "Filled with atrocious things like acknowledging differences in genders, celebrating the nuclear family, and appreciating differences in history. Just like wishing people a ‘Merry Christmas’ is obviously bigoted and outdated, it’s time to bring holiday songs into the 21st century by updating them with political correctness."
He then introduces "Progressive Sounds of the Season," which contain tunes such as:
Witt adds his vocals to the latter, belting out updated lyrics: "Destroy freedom with regulations / falalalala la la lockdown / use no logic and no reason / falalalala la la lockdown."
Image source: YouTube screenshot
He also quips that "Holly Jolly Protest" is "perfect for when you’re mixing those Molotov Cocktails," and "Feliz Antifa" is for all his "Latinx compadres out there."
Oh, and Witt reminds us that "It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Venezuela" is a "California classic" that we shouldn’t leave off our playlists.
He also sings along to "White Privilege Christmas," admitting "you’ll be sorry after hearing this one." (Ya think?) Witt then begins crooning, "I’m renouncing my white privilege this Christmas / just so my friends will think I’m woke / give reparations to black children / straight white men shut up and listen / to hear a speech from Robin DiAngelo."
Image source: YouTube screenshot
DiAngelo is the author of popular progressive tome "White Fragility" — a copy of which Witt had open during the beginning of his commercial.
Since "we all have that one relative" with "a disproportionate amount of holiday cheer," Witt says the album is a "perfect gift to take that away from them and level the playing field."
And "Progressive Sounds of the Season" can be yours after three easy payments of $19.99 — and he adds that if you call right now, a "Tax the Rich" sweater will be thrown in for the "small price of $69.99."

Top Scientists Questioned COVID Lab Origin In Explosive Emails; Concerns Grow Over ‘Impartial’ WHO Probe
Top-level scientists and government doctors in the United States suggested that COVID-19 could have originated from human activities, with one asking if it may have been deliberately engineered, according to the Daily Mail.
The emails were obtained via the freedom of information act (FOIA), and detail communications between University of North Carolina epidemiologist Ralph Baric – whose team created chimeric viruses in collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Baric has admitted that viruses can be made without any signs of manipulation.
The epidemiologist joined discussions among a group of experts in Government and universities brought together by an official at the US Department of Homeland Security after reports of a strange new respiratory virus killing people in Wuhan.
The chain of correspondence was given the jocular subject tag of Red Dawn. On February 10 – the day one official wrote that China had stopped including its asymptomatic cases in data, thus making it appear to the world that its outbreak was slowing – they were joined by Mark Keim, a former White House adviser on disaster prevention.
He offered the group – which included the senior medical officer in the department’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office – a nine-point list of ‘situational assumptions’ that began by clearly stating: ‘The novel virus could be anthropogenic rather than zoonotic.’ –Daily Mail
"We know that both anthropogenic and zoonotic pathogens exist," Keim told the Mail, adding that while most epidemics are zoonotic (animal origin) in nature, scientists should only eliminate theories – such as the lab hypothesis – based on firm evidence. "We have to be careful about making assumptions that have no proof," he added.
In a March 5 email, another participant "suggested this is engineered," referring to COVID-19, to which Baric – who manipulated viruses with the Wuhan scientists – responded firmly, saying "There is absolutely no evidence that this virus is bio-engineered."
Meanwhile, scientists at the National Academics of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine changed a draft of a White House report to exclude a footnote saying ‘this does not preclude an unintentional release from a laboratory studying the evolution of coronaviruses.’
"If you start weighing evidence, there’s a lot to consider from both scenarios," says virus expert Trevor Bedford, who said last week that "we could not say definitely whether emergence into human population occurred via zoonosis or lab escape."
"I still view zoonosis as the most likely scenario, but I still view this as not definitive," he added.
Meanwhile, scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have had to divulge details about bat coronavirus samples in their possession, which they have admitted were linked to the deaths in 2012 of three miners from a similar respiratory disease. Shi Zhengli, a renowned Wuhan-based virologist who has worked closely with Baric and is known as Batwoman for her expeditions to gather samples in caves, had to clarify a paper in Nature magazine written with two colleagues at the top-security laboratory after inconsistencies were spotted.
This highly-influential paper, sent on the day China belatedly admitted to human transmission, disclosed the existence of a virus called RaTG13 that is the closest known relative to Sars-Cov-2, with more than 96 per cent genetic similarity. It was sampled from a horseshoe bat and stored at their lab.
Other experts questioned why more information was not shared about this strain. It later emerged the name was changed from another virus identified in a 2016 paper –but, unusually, was not cited and obscured links to the dead miners. –Daily Mail
David Relman, an emerging infectious diseases expert at Stanford University, said "If Sars-Cov-2 escaped from a lab to cause the pandemic, it will become critical to understand the chain of events and prevent this from happening again," adding that it’s plausible to believe that the genetic sequence os SARS-CoV-2 may have been "recovered from a bat sample and viable virus resurrected from a synthetic genome to study it before that virus accidentally escaped."
Concerns over WHO and Lancet cover-up
While top scientists have expressed concerns over potential man-made origins, others are worried that a Beijing-approved mission from the WHO and a Lancet investigation – both of which include Peter Daszak – head of Eco-Health Alliance, which orchestrated a statement in The Lancet by 27 scientists denouncing ‘conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.’
EcoHealth Alliance notably received millions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer funding to genetically manipulate coronaviruses with scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The WHO has allowed China to vet scientists taking part in the probe, while also appointing to its ten-strong team the British charity chief Peter Daszak whose funding for research on bat viruses in a high-security Wuhan laboratory was stopped on safety grounds.
Daszak, president of Eco-Health Alliance, has led efforts that have dismissed concerns over lab leakage as a ‘baseless’ conspiracy theory. Also, to the fury of critics, he is heading a task force on the pandemic’s origins for The Lancet medical journal. –Daily Mail
