    I never said anything about it being racist, I said it was stupid foreign policy.

    If people are going to be studying the radiation spike already, as they will with the virus, there is no need to accuse the nuclear plant of a coverup in order to spur the studying that was already going to happen. Get the evidence, then accuse if the evidence bears that out.

    You do know even the Chinese Government admitted they covered up in part the SARS outbreak right?

    So since we have had YEARS and YEARS now to study SARS where did it come from for sure?

    You'd seriously have better luck making that logical argument with a Stop sign, my friend...

    What answers do you think you would uncover by lobbing accusations you can't prove? If scientists can't figure out where it came from, you have no basis of accusing China in the first place. China has more motivations to cover up what happened than just that it had let the virus out of a lab. Economic ones.

    There is more than one theory on the exact source of COVID.

    Nobody is opposing that investigateion.

    Once again, a conservative is vindicated and the left has egg on their face.

    This happens daily.

    Insinuating with no evidence whatsoever, that it was created there, is an irresponsible conspiracy theory. Whether it's racist or not... that part I don't know. But the guy most definitely does not deserve an apology.

    Dear God, it matters not a jot whether the virus was an intentional release, an escape, or the highly ludicrous cover story that it sprang forth from a wet market, such is no longer relevant in the least. The real question regarding this obviously manipulated virus, the only question, is what did China do once they realized what it was, how lethal, and how virulent??? They didn't just lie their lips off about it, they sacked the specific doctors who didn't, and who also attempted to alert the planet as to what it was!

    They used the "CCP" compromised WHO to mislead the CDC, NIH, and the whole world as to the savage virulence and lethality of the virus, and thus those agencies including the much vaunted Dr Anthony Fauci, minimized the risk and marginalized anyone who did not, especially those in the intelligence community who said not so fast, this thing has genetic signatures associated with human intervention within it!

    This continued until nearly mid January, and all the while the CCP and its totally owned WHO were busy lying about its virulence, and covering up their lies, CCP was quietly doing something else, buying up as much of the available medical supplies on the planet, literally cleaning out Australia, and a chunk of Europe in the process! They weren't buying these supplies with the intention of redistributing them via humanitarian handouts, the supplies almost all of which had been manufactured in China, were bought up so they could resell them again!

    Do you understand? We are at war, China sure is, and they just launched the greatest, most successful attack upon the United States in our history, bringing the nation to its knees! Whether the original virus leak itself was intentional or not no longer matters, what matters is this, once they had ascertained just what it was, they shut up about it, or lied about it when they couldn't get away with shutting up about it! Do the math, Trump and his brilliant tariff campaign upon them, had stopped the CCP's dreams of total world domination dead in tracks!

    The US economy had achieved white hot status and they could no longer even compete with it, let alone subjugate as they and their democratic party had dreams of doing, indeed as they were doing during the eight years of Obama. And make no mistake, CCP controls the vast majority of US media, along with the democratic party, both of which can be heard repeating almost word for word the propaganda points of the CCP. You sit here pontificating about Cotton spreading rumor, "really?"

    We are at war, our response is forthcoming, pay no attention to what Trump says about Xi, and China, pay attention to what he does! Currently the DoD is rushing the top tier of the US war machine to its new quarters under a mountain....

    Do you know who Livescience is? "Imaginova," do you know who they are? They are a subdivision of Orion telescopes, which are made in........thats right, China!
    Also, when you reply to me with a link, you'd best include some quotes from it instead of the drive-by you just tried to pull off! Drudge tried running those totally pro-Chinese and totally bogus "livescience" blurbs and pulled them, and Drudge is as far left these days as anyone in the democratic party machine.

    Here is clarity regarding the not so mysterious Wuhan virus, first your drive-by attempt ignores the irrefutable reality at the foundation of my point, it doesn't matter if the virus was a leak or not, does such not penetrate the penumbra of propaganda shielding you from truth? What matters, the only thing that matters, is what the Chinese communist party did after they knew what it was loose, they subjugated the doctors, worked hand in hand with the WHO to mislead the CDC/NIH, and the world itself as to the virulence of the bug, and then quietly went about the business of buying up all the medical supplies they could lay hands upon around the planet!

    You can argue two things from this directly, from this behavior, they were actively attempting to corner the market, whilst also ensuring the market was largely defenseless against the bug!

    This has been irrefutably established via 60-minutes Australia, this is what China was doing as democrats under the leadership of Pelosi were fiddling to impeachment! Do you begin to understand? It makes no difference where the bug came from at this point, the only thing of importance is what China did once they knew it was on the loose!!!! Checkmate!

    You need to immediately disengage from the media, its an organ of communist China, MSNBC/NBC, CBS/CNN, NY-Times, WaPo, ect ect ect, all are literally mainlining communist Chinese propaganda directly into your minds, turn it off and wake up from your slumber.....

    Fake News Pantsed for the World To Laugh At:

    THE INSIDE STORY OF THE TOM COTTON OP-ED THAT ROCKED THE FAKE NEWS NEW YORK TIMES:
    Notice what's missing here? The Fake News Paper hasn't identified A SINGLE FACTUAL ERROR. Rather they are climbing down from publishing an opinion piece to appease their own censorious minded staff.

    He held an opinion these Fake News censorious childish clowns didn't like. The US Senator favored invoking the Insurrection Act and explained why in an op-ed to the New York Times.

    Senator Cotton's piece originally put forward and developed multiple points, but, after several rounds of haggling with the Fake News New York Time's staff, they jointly agreed that Senator Cotton would only develop the one point on the Insurrection Act that has been US Law for over 2 centuries.
    So after getting it the way everyone wanted it, they published it, and the whining junior babies at the Fake News York Times, who think views they don't agree with cannot be voiced, have lost their minds, and their management is climbing down from their routine decision to publish it.

    Make no mistake about who the Left is becoming and what they would do to our civil rights if they were able to. Do NOT make the mistake of trying to appease them, our very existence offends them.

    Tom Cotton EVISCERATES Cancel Culture in ‘Obelisk of Wokeness’ Speech.

    [​IMG]

    Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) eviscerated the terrifying “cancel culture” that seeks to silence anyone who dares disagree with leftist dogma. Cancel culture animates the vandalism against statues — including those of black volunteer troops for the Union fighting against slavery — along with the abortion of television shows and the firing of people.

    Cotton briefly listed many of the recent victims of cancel culture in the wake of the George Floyd riots: a UCLA professor facing police investigation because he declined to postpone final exams to let students protest, a professor under investigation for reading from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail, a professional soccer player who was fired for his wife’s tweet, and “business executives and editors at newspapers and magazines.”

    New York Times op-ed editor James Bennet, who resigned amid backlash for publishing Cotton’s op-ed.

    Ivanka Trump's commencement speech at Wichita State University got canceled.

    "Cancel culture, whether in its Maoist or its Jacobin forms, ultimately is animated by a single idea, that America, at its core, is fundamentally irredeemable and wicked,” Cotton concluded. “I reject that claim fully, wholeheartedly. America is a great and noble nation, the noblest nation in the history of mankind, that has struggled throughout our history, imperfectly but ceaselessly, to live up to our founding creed that all men are created equal. The single greatest defense against tyranny, against racism, against oppression. Those are the stakes of this debate.”

    I read where MI6 said it was a deliberate release.

    But most likely we'll know who murdered Kennedy before we know who let loose the Wuhan.
