Senator Rand Paul is renewing his push to refer Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution after newly released internal emails appear to contradict Fauci’s sworn testimony to Congress about U.S. funding of “gain-of-function” research in Wuhan. In the emails, Fauci — then head of the NIH/NIAID — acknowledges that Covid death tolls were debatable but instructs his staff to spin the numbers and then delete the email. He also orders aides to “get ahead of the science” and coordinate with the WHO to publish research aimed at reinforcing the narrative that Covid originated naturally, not from a lab leak. Paul argues that this is not just spin, but perjury: lying under oath to Congress is in fact a crime. He insists the DOJ must investigate.

Most American universities would earn an F- if they could be graded for “free speech friendliness,” according to the the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, or FIRE. Every year, FIRE grades major universities on the speech climate on campus. Shockingly, 166 of the 257 schools surveyed got an F for their speech climate. This is sadly non-partisan. According to FIRE, “students of every political persuasion show a deep unwillingness to encounter controversial ideas.” “For the first time ever, a majority of students would prevent speakers from both the left and right who express controversial views, ranging from abortion to transgender issues, from stepping foot on campus.” What are we doing here? Universities are supposed to be open marketplaces of ideas. Students should expect to have their worldview challenged! “More students than ever think violence and chaos are acceptable alternatives to peaceful protest,” said FIRE Chief Research Advisor Sean Stevens. “This finding cuts across partisan lines. It is not a liberal or conservative problem — it’s an American problem. Students see speech that they oppose as threatening, and their overblown response contributes to a volatile political climate.” The post America’s colleges get an ‘F’ for poor free speech climate appeared first on Redacted.

Poland claims Russia violated its airspace with drones on Wednesday, prompting President Trump to respond: “Here we go!” There were no casualties, and Poland says it shot down the alleged drones. But were they Russian? According to RT, Russia’s chargé d’affaires in Warsaw, Andrey Ordash, said Polish authorities provided no evidence that the UAVs belonged to Russia — and noted the drones had actually flown in from Ukraine. This wouldn’t be the first “oops” from Kyiv. Ukraine “accidentally” bombed Poland in 2022, killing two. At first, headlines screamed “Russian missile,” raising fears of NATO escalation. Only later did Polish and NATO officials confirm it was Ukrainian air defense fire gone astray. We’ve been here before. Russian officials called the latest accusations are another attempt to blame Moscow — while at the same time offering “consultations” with Poland on the incident. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed it carried out strikes on Ukrainian military-industrial sites in Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, and Lviv — all in central and western Ukraine. The ministry stressed: “No facilities in Poland were targeted.” Geographically, that makes sense: those Ukrainian regions can be struck without crossing Polish territory. But it’s also possible that drones went badly off course and strayed into Poland. In response, Warsaw invoked Article 4 of NATO’s founding treaty, which allows for urgent consultations if a member believes its security is threatened. So why did President Trump jump so quickly to blame Russia — with no proof yet on the table? The post NATO Panics appeared first on Redacted.
