Documents on Mysterious Chinese COVID Lab Uncovered in Reedley CA

The Globe reported Friday on a COVID lab run by a shady Chinese company operating in Reedley, CA in the central San Joaquin Valley.
What they found was stunning and extremely concerning: investigators discovered that one rooms of the warehouse was used to produce COVID-19 and pregnancy tests.
In other rooms, investigators found blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples.
They also found thousands of vials that contained unlabeled fluids, the MidValley Times reported.
The CDC found potentially infectious agents at the location including both bacterial and viral agents: chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5 and rubella. The CDC also found samples of malaria.
The corporation was created April 3, 2019, months ahead of the COVID outbreak in the U.S.

‘Whale Ballet’: Video Shows 3 Humpbacks Jump in Unison, a Birthday Surprise for Man and Daughters

PORSTMOUTH, N.H.—A New Hampshire man celebrating his birthday on the ocean with his three daughters captured video of something so rare that even marine scientists are jealous—three humpback whales leaping from the water in near perfect unison.
“It was such an uplifting thing to see. Just incredible,” Robert Addie said.
The Portsmouth man, now a home remodeler, spent decades on the water as a commercial fisherman in Massachusetts and Alaska. In that time, he said he’s seen thousands of whales.
But he never witnessed anything like Monday’s whale encounter on a tuna fishing trip off Cape Cod.

A federal lawsuit alleges that Grow, LLC, and The Kratom Distro “misrepresented and misled consumers about the risks of Kratom,” which ultimately led to the death of 39-year-old nurse Krystal Talavera, of Palm Beach, a day after her oldest son’s high school graduation.
Kratom, which is a supplement extracted from the leaves of a tropical South American tree, is marketed as a pain reliever and mood enhancer but can have dangerous – and sometimes deadly – side effects, including addiction, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The Palm Beach County Coroner determined Talavera’s cause of death to be “acute mitragynine intoxication,” or kratom poisoning.
“At high concentrations, mitragynine produces opioid-like effects, such as respiratory failure,” the autopsy report states, according to the lawsuit.
California enclave begins crackdown on homeless camps: ‘They’re worried about the looks’

The Unsafe Camping Ordinance bans tent encampments in all public spaces throughout the city if shelter beds are available. It also prohibits camping within two blocks of schools or shelters, in city parks and open spaces, and near transportation hubs at any time, regardless of shelter capacity.
City council members passed the ordinance 5-4. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria signed the ordinance into law on June 29, but it included an amendment stating it would not take effect until 30 days after the city’s first safe sleeping site was opened.
“It is right and appropriate for us to set the expectation that people experiencing homelessness must avail themselves of the services we are providing,” Gloria said according to the Times of San Diego.

Pakistan: Potential ISIS Suicide Attack Kills Dozens, Including Five Children, at Islamist Meeting

A suspected suicide bombing killed at least 46 people and injured over 150 at an Islamist political event near the Afghan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan, on Sunday, believed to have been attended by hundreds of people.
The event was a convention for the Islamist political party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan Fazl (JUI-F), an Islamist party local outlets described as “hardline” whose name roughly translates to the “Assembly of Islamic Clerics.”
Police told reporters on Monday that, while no individual or group has taken responsibility for the bombing, the prime suspect is the Islamic State’s Afghan offshoot, Khorasan Province (ISIS-K).
Kremlin Threatens to use Nuclear Weapons if Ukraine Retakes ‘Russian Land’ in Counteroffensive

Taking to his personal Telegram channel to mark the Russian military holiday of Navy Day, the former president said: “Our Armed Forces, repelling the counteroffensive of the collective enemy, protect the citizens of Russia and our land. This is obvious to all decent people.
“But beyond that, they prevent world conflict. After all, if we imagine that the offensive of the [Ukrainian Nazis] with the support of NATO was successful and they seized part of our land, then we would have to, by virtue of the rules of the decree of the President of Russia dated 06/02/2020, go for the use of nuclear weapons.”
“There is simply no other way out. Therefore, our enemies must pray to our warriors. They do not allow the global nuclear fire to flare up,” Medvedev concluded.
Medvedev has become one of the most belligerent voices in Moscow, even going so far as to threaten to send the UK into the “abyss” with nuclear weapons in light of London’s staunch support of Ukraine’s fight against Russia.
In his post on Sunday, he specifically referenced an executive order signed by Vladimir Putin in June of 2020 that laid out the Kremlin’s position on “nuclear deterrence”.

Italy’s Meloni reacts to NYT opinion piece blasting her right-wing policies as ‘scary’: ‘Respond with results’

“There is nothing I want to tell to those who criticize me. I think it is a right they have,” she told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo in an exclusive interview. “The only way I like to respond is with results, so I react. I do what I think is right for my nation, for the interests of my nation, and I think that what is happening in Italy is the only thing that really can give an answer or not.”
She cited Italy’s economic success, her vow to Italian companies that “we [the government] will not disturb you,” and her hope that she could make the people of her nation believe that they could do better without the state “creating problems” for them.
She said government should work with the people to allow the country to thrive.
“We want to create richness,” she said. “You will have a state, you will have institutions able to work with you, near you. That doesn’t mean that we don’t have rules. We have it, and we are quite strict on it, but we want them to believe there is nothing the institutions can do if the people do not answer. So we have to go all in the same direction. We have to do it together, and that was my first message.”

Tucker Carlson & Ice Cube – Unlikely Allies BATTLING the Woke Establishment
An iconic black rapper casually cruising the streets of Compton with Tucker Carlson says much more than Ice Cube could ever articulate.
Cube and Carlson disrupt the corporate media narrative that conservative white men are the natural enemy of black men.
Since white, conservative evangelicals fought to end slavery, bigoted gatekeepers have worked overtime to convince black people that white, progressive atheists are the black man’s true allies.
