Dr. Anthony Fauci is scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill today. He has a lot to answer for. New material drawn from his diary found on government servers indicates he is an egomaniac who also lied to the public.
 
In the diary, Fauci “swooned” over his growing friendships with numerous media figures, especially CNN’s Jake Tapper. But it seems Dr. Fauci’s biggest fan was Dr. Fauci himself. He was obsessed with his own importance and fame. On May 21, 2020, he wrote:
 
“The situation with my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable. It is not hyperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked-about person in the country and one of the most recognizable [people] in the world.”
 
So, as the pandemic worsened, the death toll rose and our economy tanked, Fauci was stroking his own ego. Not surprisingly, Big Media is failing to cover Fauci’s controversial diary since they are all implicated in his lies.
 
Fauci frightened the public with catastrophic COVID fatality predictions that were far worse than reality. He lied about the fatality rate in spite of knowing in February—before the lockdowns—that it wouldn’t be anywhere near as bad as he claimed. (See next item.)
 
On January 26, 2020, Fauci wrote, “Now we know the [Wuhan wet market] was not the source, it was the amplifier.” Yet months later, Fauci’s bureaucrats were still pushing the “wet market” myth.
 
A few days later, he held a call with 12 top scientists. Only two thought COVID-19 was naturally occurring. Fauci used his power and position to make sure the opinions of those two scientists became the “consensus.”
 
Anyone who disagreed, questioned or resisted was censored, smeared and had their careers ruined. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., was kicked off of Instagram for allegedly spreading “misinformation.”
 
Fauci’s accomplice, Dr. Francis Collins, then-director of the National Institutes of Health, insisted that they had to shut down any talk about a potential leak from a Chinese lab because it would cause “great potential harm to science and international harmony.”
 
In other words, Collins suppressed the truth to avoid offending his friends in Communist China. One of Fauci’s top advisors has been indicted for concealing and falsifying records related to COVID-19’s origin.
 
Months after getting vaccinated, Fauci suffered a pulmonary infarction, a known adverse side effect of the vaccine, but the news was kept from the public. At the same time, he was telling the American people that the vaccine was totally safe.
 
 
 
Fauci Ordered Lockdowns
 
One of the most destructive pandemic responses was the lockdown regime. Anthony Fauci has repeatedly denied having anything to do with the lockdowns. In 2022, he insisted, “I didn’t recommend locking anything down” and “We said we should try as best as we possibly can to keep the children in school.” Both statements were lies.
 
On March 15, 2020, he wrote in his diary, “Big Day!” He went on to explain that he “convinced” then-New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to close the city’s schools. He noted having a similar conversation with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s chief of staff about closing California’s schools that same day.
 
The rest of the country soon followed the “leaders,” as did businesses and churches. The impact on the educational performance of our children was devastating. They still have not caught up.
 
Like the flu, COVID spread aggressively indoors, which is where Fauci ordered everyone to stay. The advice should have been, “Go outside and get fresh air.”
 
 
 
“Trust The Experts”
 
During the pandemic, Dr. Fauci and Gen. Mark “Thoroughly Modern” Milley became friends, and they became favorites of the left-wing media establishment. On March 15, 2020, Fauci bragged in his diary about achieving the “Fauci 5"—appearing on all five Sunday talk shows.
 
Gen. Milley’s claim to fame was not what he accomplished on a battlefield. Instead, it was the media praising him for "stopping Donald Trump from tearing up the Constitution.” Milley took it upon himself to call Chinese military leaders to assure them that he would not let President Trump start a war.
 
The media idolized Milley as “the military expert.” They idolized Fauci as “the medical expert.” Both men made their careers by always being on the “right” side, meaning the Left’s side, of what is acceptable and unacceptable in Washington. And the Swamp is full of them.
 
They know how to maneuver, so they always come out on top. And they think they’re more important and should be listened to more than the elected officials of the United States government.
 
 
 
The Biden Tapes
 
The audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interviews with the ghostwriter of his 2017 memoir have finally been released. The existence of the tapes came to light during the 2023 special counsel investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified information. And the Bidens fought like crazy to keep the tapes from the public. Now we know why.
 
It is clear from these recordings that Joe Biden was already mentally impaired years before he ran for president in 2020.
 
Just as the American people were repeatedly lied to about COVID, the Russia collusion hoax, Hunter Biden’s laptop and the border being secure when it was wide open, the media and top government officials kept lying to us about Joe Biden’s fitness for office.
 
They insisted he was fine. “Sharp as a tack,” we were told. Videos of him wandering around aimlessly were dismissed as “deep fakes.” The lies were nonstop up until the very moment when they couldn’t hide it any more—that disastrous 2024 presidential debate when Biden declared, “We finally beat Medicare.”
 
What’s the lesson here? Democrats lie about everything, including their insistence that men can get pregnant!
 
 
 
Mamdani’s Marxist Hit List
 
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani just published a database of the people who own second homes supposedly worth $1 million or more. He is aiming an additional tax just at them. But the database, which includes names and street addresses, is raising concerns that the violent Left will use it to target the “capitalists.”
 
A healthcare CEO was shot in the back and killed in Manhattan. His assassin is now a hero on the Left. There is constant rhetoric on the Left demonizing the wealthy. Now Mamdani has put out a database that could be used as a “hit list” by unhinged Marxist revolutionaries. And it comes at the same time he is demonizing landlords.
 
Mamdani and the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) wear the “socialist” label proudly. They usually bristle when called what I believe they are, which is “Marxists” and “communists.”
 
In the parade of horribles that happened in China’s Cultural Revolution, directed by the mass murderer Mao Zedong, the communist Chinese specifically targeted property owners. At the top of the list were the wealthy and landlords. They were demonized, forced to wear dunce hats and paraded in front of mobs. The estimates are that one million landlords were murdered in Communist China during those years.
 
We’re not there yet in Mamdani’s New York. But what he, the DSA and large swaths of the American Left are doing will inevitably result in people being murdered. Leftist violence ending in murder already has happened. It will accelerate.
 
 
 
Fetterman’s Filibuster Warning
 
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) reminded Americans yesterday that just two years ago, virtually every Senate Democrat supported eliminating the filibuster. Only Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin stood in their way, and they’re both gone now.
 
The next time Democrats and their growing Marxist base have the necessary power, they will abolish the filibuster. They will ram through every policy nightmare you can think of. They will pack the Supreme Court with radical left-wing justices, and they will do whatever is necessary to guarantee we never win another election.
 
It is political malfeasance that some Republican senators are willing to take that risk rather than doing what needs to be done now to save the country from the Marxist Left.
 
 
 
Ready To Vote?
 
The November elections are now less than 100 days away. While this isn’t a presidential election year, these races are incredibly important. Whoever prevails at the polls will have a huge impact on faith, family, and freedom.
