Democrat James Raskins threatens to retaliate when they get power back.

We need to be engaging in far more work of transnational democratic solidarity with the democratic governments and the democratic movements and peoples and parties of the world, to try to prevent the spread of the lawlessness and the fascist chaos that’s been unleashed against us.

But implicit in it should be the idea that if and when we come back to power, and we will, we are not going to look kindly upon people who facilitated, to use a word of the day, who facilitated authoritarianism in our country.

That’s an assault on our constitution and on our people.



Yet some people are throwing tantrums over an Easter message troll by Trump .

James Raskin was the lead impeachment manager in the second shampeachment. A JD holder from ... Harvard

Basilico, this guy has buried his head up his own ass I am still wondering how he managed to type this nonsense.

Facts:
It was funded by the NIH through EcoHealth Alliance. A sub-award (a smaller portion of the grant, ~$100k annually) went to WIV, a leading virology lab in China, to conduct parts of the research, likely due to its expertise in bat coronaviruses and access to local bat populations.

The project aimed to study how coronaviruses, particularly those found in bats, naturally evolve in their animal hosts (reservoirs) and assess their potential to jump to humans, causing disease.

Ibime saying they don't know is a big lie.
NIH initiated the research through Ecohealth. That's the bottom line.
Its on their own website
https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/coronavirus-bat-research

We are getting there.

So Ecohealth independently sub-awarded a $100k yearly grant to Wuhan and you expect the NIH boss who is dealing with budgets of tens of billions to know and approve such small sum in a different organisation. Why not take it one step up the ladder and blame the next person up, Trump who is dealing with budgets of trillions?

That's before we even come to whether the grant is specifically for gain of function. I hope you know the common cold is a Coronavirus as are all flu viruses and are routinely studied along with SARS, MERS and other Coronaviruses. How many lab assistants salary can you pay with $100k?

Una go well one day.

Trump and magats of course think only short term and they don't understand that international students also bring in money and are a valuable human resource for American industry.
.it was sarcastic. You are dismissing an exhaustive investigation based on facts You should read the report first before dismissing it
You also bring in members if the Committe as if they don't have a legal team that goes through the evidence
Let Faucci and Co dismiss the contents , instead they lied to the committee. Because nothing happens to democrats when they lie

What was the amount given to Ecohealth Alliance towards the him if function research in Wuhan

8 posts

15 web pages

The EcoHealth Alliance received a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) totaling approximately $3.7 million from 2014 to 2019 for studying bat coronaviruses, with about $600,000 of that amount subawarded to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

There is debate over whether this funding supported "gain-of-function" research. EcoHealth Alliance and NIH officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, have denied that the funded work met the specific definition of gain-of-function research, which involves modifying viruses to enhance their transmissibility or virulence in humans. They argue the research focused on understanding naturally occurring bat coronaviruses and their potential to infect humans, not on enhancing pathogens.

However, critics, including some scientists and congressional members, argue that certain experiments, such as creating chimeric viruses that showed increased growth in humanized mice, fit the definition of gain-of-function research. Documents indicate that some experiments resulted in viruses with enhanced growth, which EcoHealth failed to report promptly as required by NIH grant terms.

The exact amount directly tied to alleged gain-of-function experiments is not explicitly separated in available records, as the $600,000 to WIV covered various studies, not all of which were classified as gain-of-function. Thus, while the total subaward to WIV was $600,000, it’s unclear how much was specifically for experiments critics label as gain-of-function.

What was the amount given by Faucci to South Carolina for gain of function before the programs was discontinued

15 web pages

There is no specific evidence in the provided references or broader records that directly states Dr. Anthony Fauci or the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) allocated funds explicitly to South Carolina for gain-of-function research before the U.S. government paused such research from October 2014 to December 2017.
However, the references do mention gain-of-function research in the context of other locations, notably the Wuhan Institute of Virology via EcoHealth Alliance, and some work involving Dr. Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina (UNC), which is not in South Carolina. For clarity, here’s what’s known:
EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan: The NIH, through NIAID, awarded EcoHealth Alliance a $3.7 million grant from 2014 to 2019, with approximately $600,000 subawarded to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research. Some of this work has been debated as gain-of-function, though Fauci and NIH have denied it met the specific regulatory definition.

Ralph Baric at UNC: Research by Dr. Baric at UNC, funded by NIH, included a 2015 study with the Wuhan Institute that created a chimeric virus. This work was described by some as gain-of-function, but Fauci testified it was conducted in North Carolina, not China, and did not meet the gain-of-function definition under NIH guidelines.

Gain-of-Function Pause: The U.S. paused funding for gain-of-function research on influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses from October 2014 to December 2017 due to biosafety concerns. During this period, some grants, like EcoHealth’s, were reviewed and allowed to continue if deemed outside the pause’s scope.

South Carolina Connection: None of the references explicitly link Fauci, NIAID, or NIH funding for gain-of-function research to South Carolina. The closest related mention is the UNC work in North Carolina, which could be a point of confusion due to geographic proximity. No specific dollar amounts or projects tied to South Carolina for gain-of-function research are documented in the provided sources.

If you meant a specific institution or researcher in South Carolina, or if you were referring to another state (e.g., North Carolina), please clarify, and I can refine the answer. Alternatively, I can search for any NIH grants to South Carolina institutions during that period, but without more details, no direct funding for gain-of-function research in South Carolina is confirmed.

I meant funding to Ralph Baric for creating a chimera virus

Dr. Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina (UNC) received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), for research involving coronaviruses, including a 2015 study that created a chimeric virus. This study, conducted in collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, has been cited in debates about gain-of-function research.
The specific grant tied to the 2015 study (published in Nature Medicine) was from NIH/NIAID, with a total award of approximately $3.7 million over several years for Baric’s broader research on coronaviruses, though exact figures for the chimeric virus experiment alone are not isolated in public records. The study involved creating a chimeric virus by combining a bat coronavirus backbone with a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV spike protein, showing it could infect human airway cells.
While critics label this as gain-of-function research due to the virus’s enhanced ability to infect human cells, Baric and NIH officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, have stated it did not meet the formal definition of gain-of-function under NIH guidelines at the time, as it was not expected to increase virulence or transmissibility in humans beyond naturally occurring viruses. The research continued during the 2014–2017 gain-of-function funding pause after NIH review deemed it outside the pause’s scope.
No precise amount is publicly specified for the chimeric virus work alone, but the broader grant to Baric’s lab was in the range of $3.7 million from 2014 to 2019, with portions supporting various coronavirus studies, including the 2015 collaboration. If you need further details on the grant breakdown, I can search for additional records or clarify specific aspects of the funding.

All the countries of world got together and agreed to sabotage their trillions in their economies and kill millions of their citizens so that Fauci can sell some vaccines (that was paid for by the govt mind you).

No one paid a Penny out of pocket to get those vaccines. All govt funded. The govts that stood behind the vaccines gained what exactly? The deaths and decimated economies and the money they had to pay to get people vaccinated?

You think it is the truth, I know it is a lie.
In the middle is a person who has no possible way to fight back against the bully pulpit of the President.

That is one of the purposes of due process, to allow venues for a third party to probe what the government says is the "truth" to ensure fairness and that our rights aren't infringed based on purposeful lies.

After pulling the COVID , they realized they have total control , they have dumbed down populations who accept anything at face value.

Right now they are still lying ,twisting the truth .

They were responding to an emergency appeal filed there. There is a lower court hearing the same. In effect the SCOTUS remanded it to a lower court. The appeals process will go back to them eventually.
Previously the sane court ruled that deportations could continue only that 11 millio must receive their due process. We all know Biden brought them in without any due process but Trump can't remove them.
That's my understanding.

Mexican nationals arrested with 180,000 rounds of ammunition.

Officials said deputies searched the vehicle and ended up finding around 150 boxes of .308 ammunition and another 30 boxes of 7.62 ammunition.

Fremont County authorities said each box was labeled as containing 1,000 rounds of ammo.

The men arrested were identified as 41-year-old Caesar Ramon Martinez Solis and 24-year-old Humberto Ivan Amador Gavira of Mexico.

Both have been charged with unlawful possession of ammunition by an alien admitted under a nonimmigrant visa
, officials said.


180,000 rounds can't kill more people than Faucci managed.

Question Sir, how many people do you think you murdered based on your policies, along with Mike Pence at the White House Coronavirus Task Group?

Question How much did Mike Pence know about your involvement in taking not only millions of dollars according to the documentation, but also you subsequently funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology that ended up destroying America’s economy, as well as destroying millions of people, whether it was through the Myocarditis-making jabs, the DNA mutilation injections that were never approved by the FDA? There was a bait-and-switch. It was legally distinct, meaning you were forcing the injections of the emergency use authorized products into our military service members that destroyed our readiness.
