Wow. Wow. Wow.
Last week I wrote about the discovery of a secret China-linked biolab in an ostensibly empty warehouse outside Fresno California.
It was, needless to say, a disturbing story. We aren't talking about some sterile, well-controlled biological research facility that hadn't kept up with all its paperwork.
No, this was a hidden lab piled with chemicals, boxes, refrigerators with chemicals and 20 deadly viruses, and genetically engineered mice that had been bred to catch and spread human viruses like COVID-19. It was in an ostensibly abandoned warehouse, and when the inspectors showed up the lab equipment had been hastily turned off before whoever was working there disappeared.
The power was off, but the freezers were still cold. People disappeared quickly, leaving behind a lot of documents in Chinese and a "President" who is available only by email from China. The president claimed the lab was merely storing defunct equipment, but there were live genetically engineered mice and the viruses stored in freezers.
It's all very sketchy, to say the least. Not to sound paranoid or anything, but a Chinese biolab hidden in an abandoned warehouse with deadly viruses and genetically engineered mice discovered after a major pandemic that killed millions might lead one to wonder what exactly is going on.
At least if you aren't obsessed with indicting Donald Trump every 3 days or so.

Chicago's about to have a gang war. But... will anyone notice?
Crime is so out-of-control that gonzo leftwing partisan lunatic Anna Kasparian (what color is her hair this week? asking for a friend) actually notices. She also tells her leftwing friends that the left is losing credibility by claiming that what people can see is happening every day just isn't happening.
No big deal but we're going to start seeing leprosy coming across the wide-open border, and I'm sure the media will tell us It's A Good Thing.
Move over, COVID-19, and say hello to leprosy. Yes, that leprosy, the biblical plague from the Old and New Testaments.
That's according to the CDC, which says that there is "rising evidence that leprosy has become endemic in the southeastern United States."
Leprosy, also called Hanson's Disease, is an infection caused by slow-growing bacteria called Mycobacterium leprae, according to the CDC. "It can affect the nerves, skin, eyes, and lining of the nose (nasal mucosa)." Up to 2 million people worldwide are permanently disabled from the disease, which can be transmitted by "prolonged, close contact with someone with untreated leprosy over many months." It is thought to be spread via respiratory droplets--or even contact with armadillos. The CDC, which now apparently believes in natural immunity again, says, "more than 95% of all people have natural immunity to the disease."
But in a Research Letter published in the August 2023 edition of the Emerging Infections Diseases journal, researchers from the Kansas City University--Graduate Medical Education/Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Consortium raised concerns about the rise in the number of cases in the U.S...
That led researchers to suspect "that international migration of persons with leprosy is a potential source of autochthonous transmission." They noted that "The number of international migrants in North America increased from 27.6 million persons in 1990 to 58.7 million in 2020, so a link to migration may account for the increase in incidence of leprosy in historically nonendemic areas."
With leprosy coming across the border, it's just the absolute perfect time for Biden's Woke Pentagon to pull 1,100 troops from the border, so that's exactly what they're doing.
Independent but-Democrat-caususing Senator Kristin Sinema is fuming over Biden giving $130 million to New York City due to his open border policy -- while giving little to border-state Arizona.
Apparently border states are just supposed to broke supporting Biden's New Voters.
Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is furious over New York City's receipt of federal relief funds to handle the cost of caring for a surging number of asylum seekers while her state and border communities go without.
New York City is set to receive $104.6 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) relief funds as Democratic Mayor Eric Adams struggles to cope with the rise of asylum seekers in his sanctuary city, The Hill reported. Much of the surge in new arrivals is due to Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's policy of bussing migrants to sanctuary cities in a bid to highlight the Biden administration's lax approach to border security.
Sinema appeared to take issue with the metropolis receiving so much aid when it has only endured a fraction of the adverse effects from the migrant crisis that has so impacted Arizona and the other border states.
"What we're experiencing here in Arizona is matched only by what folks are experiencing in southern Texas," she said at a Yuma, Ariz., event. "Those are the two communities that are experiencing this crisis... The rest of the country is seeing some elements of it, but we are facing the brunt. And it is wrong and unfair that the... money is going to places other than south Texas and south Arizona."
