“The Pelosi Congress (and its police department) is telling a federal court it is immune from all transparency under law and is trying to hide every second of its January 6 videos and countless emails,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The hypocrisy is rich, as this is the same Congress that is trying to jail witnesses who, citing privileges, object to providing documents to the Pelosi rump January 6 committee.”
Nearly $2 Mil to Study Impact of George Floyd’s Death, COVID on Black Maternal Health
The nation’s medical research agency claims preterm birth “can reveal a lot about how the traumatic death of George Floyd and the stress of COVID-19 have played out in the lives of pregnant Black women.” So, the U.S. government is spending nearly $2 million to study the impact of “dual pandemics”—structural racism exposed Floyd’s death and COVID—on black maternal health. The research will be conducted by the same public university professor whose taxpayer-funded work has already determined preterm births are significantly higher among “Black birthing people” in “over-policed” neighborhoods. The academic’s name is Rachel Hardeman, a health and racial equity teacher at the University of Minnesota who studied under Communists at Cuba’s government-run Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina in Havana.

The newly uncovered tools are sophisticated hacking devices that can breach cell phones and the USPS’s law enforcement arm, U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), has utilized them hundreds of times in the last few years, according to a news story that cites USPIS data buried in a lengthy agency report. The questionable surveillance schemes appear to indicate that the government is weaponizing the nation’s postal service to improperly spy on the citizens who fund it.
