Facebook has announced plans to permanently ban Project Veritas from the platform after the investigative journalism group exposed Pfizer with a series of bombshell videos.
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – Last week, Angelia Desselle, a former manager of a surgery center outside of New Orleans Louisiana, responded to a tweet by Elon Musk who complained of an adverse reaction to his second booster shot.
Desselle, who also suffered a severe adverse reaction to the Covid shot, responded to Elon’s tweet, attaching video footage of her inside Ochsner Hospital. She was in the midst of having an alarming neurological event after being admitted to Ochsner on January 5, 2021, just days after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
Since then, Angelia has struggled with ongoing seizures and neurological issues, accumulating 87 pages of medical bills. She has been an active supporter of other vaccine injured individuals across the country, even testifying in front of the Louisiana and Ohio legislatures. Angelia is also featured in the ground-breaking new film, “Anecdotals,” and spoke on stage about her injuries at the Defeat the Mandates rally in Los Angeles.
Desselle’s tweet quickly triggered 67 million interactions and even sparked the creation of a meme, “Thanks Pfizer”, which mocked her and accused her of faking her injuries. One outrageous commenter went as far as claiming that she was about to be “arrested for wire fraud due to a go-fund-me.”
But perhaps the most troublesome response that day was from Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter turned substacker, who many consider to be a leader in the medical freedom movement.
Rolling Stone, Forbes, along with the Daily Mail, one of the most read online publications in the world, wrote articles about Angelia and her “fake injury.”
It is one thing for individuals to attack and make claims of “faking” injury. It is yet another when journalists at “reputable” publications follow suit without investigating any of the claims or seeking comment from the person attacked.
If any of them had looked into Desselle, they would have learned that she could provide all of the necessary medical documentation to validate her Covid vaccine injury.
Dr. Pierre Kory, her physician, came to Angelia’s defense along with friends, colleagues and family members who know her story, as well as many from the public at large.
Rolling Stone, Forbes and the Daily Mail have committed libel and need to retract their stories. This 47-year-old woman suffers from ongoing severe health problems confirmed by her doctor, directly correlated to the Covid-19 injection. What has happened to the state of journalism when it leads the way in ridiculing those simply sharing their story? Where is the humanity?
The panel that awarded Pulitzer Prizes to the New York Times and Washington Post for reporting related to the discredited Trump-Russia collusion narrative has gone mum as it faces new scrutiny following publication of a four-part series in the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) documenting the esta

I’m cruising on an uncongested stretch of Interstate 80 when I see an eighteen-wheeler plodding up the hill ahead. I tap my turn signal, glance at my blind spot and coast smoothly into the passing lane. I’m gearing up my vocals for the “got runned over by a damned old trainnnn!” line of David Allan Coe’s song, playing on the radio, when I’m spooked out of my aria by a mid-size SUV barreling down on my bumper like a furious Pamplona bull.
“Cop!” is my first thought, as my pursuer appeared out of nowhere. I let off the gas and check my speed: seventy-nine in a seventy. Too late to tap my brakes. Besides, he’s likely to smash into me if I try that. I rush to merge back into the other lane and await the flashing blue lights.
Except the blue lights never come. The only thing that flashes is a Honda Pilot with standard-issue plates and a sticker denoting the driver once visited Dewey Beach. It blurs by me in the right lane, threading the narrow space separating me and the big rig.
It takes several minutes to recover my driving zen (and find another song worth belting). Even so, I spend the rest of my drive on edge, obsessively checking my rearview mirror for bats out of hell descending as speed demons.
Scenarios like this one play out nearly every time I drive, to the point that an activity I used to find relaxing and enjoyable now makes me anxious. Paranoid, even.
The speeding lunatics-slash-tailgating junkies have put the “get out of my way, or else!” fear into my heart so effectively that I actually obey them. And I say this as a driver with a turbocharged rally car and a portfolio of speeding tickets to match.
There are also the pointless passers — those road warriors who see the slightest break in traffic as cause to put everyone’s life at risk by nipping around the vehicle they’re following. Never mind that there’s a hill ahead, it’s a double-yellow no-passing zone and there isn’t room ahead of the car they’re passing to pull back in again. Or that passing will shave off — five seconds, maybe? “My time’s more important than yours!” these drivers rave in their erratic maneuvers.
Ever have the nerve to look at the driver beside you? The ones driving tractor-trailers are my favorite. They’re able to command 80,000 pounds of goods and machinery while watching — or, better yet, posting — TikTok videos. Their brothers-in-arms (hands?) do their part by missing green lights and sitting for ten extra safe seconds at stop signs, warranting a wake-up honk.
It appears many drivers are auditioning for the next Fast & Furious film while simultaneously being less cognizant of their surroundings than Joe Biden. I’ve come to approach every intersection as a probable T-bone smash zone and, hugging the white line, to view every vehicle opposite me as a likely head-on collision.
I have no confidence fellow drivers will stop when they’re supposed to, turn where their signals indicate, or maintain their lanes. Have you noticed how frequently people drift over the lane markings, only to give the steering wheel a jerky correction when their car’s “lane departure assist” tells them to?
It’s not my imagination: a May 2022 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report said “traffic fatalities reached a sixteen-year high in 2021.” Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg called the trend a “crisis on America’s roadways.”
The NHTSA’s solution involves putting billions toward an infrastructure program, “Click It or Ticket” campaigns, and funding to “focus on… safety concerns among vulnerable road users and overrepresented populations.” Mumbo-jumbo aside, I don’t think it’s the roads that are the problem. They need steady maintenance and improvements, sure, but I haven’t noticed them turning into rubbly sinkhole strips à la the Republic of Chad.
I reckon the real reason there are so many more roadway fatalities of late is because the number of aggressive, zoned-out and distracted drivers increased immensely since the outbreak of Covid.
The mental health damage done by excessive screen time during lockdown is well documented, as is the association between technology’s stimulation and immediate gratification, and decreased attention spans and focus. The urgency of our news cycles and online society surely don’t help. Neither does the false confidence our vehicles’ “collision prevention safety features” impart.
At the height of Covid, prescriptions for anti-anxiety medication increased 34 percent. A common side-effect of these medications is something called “emotional blunting,” in which, according to Healthline, users experience “limited emotional reactivity.” One law firm website I came across warns clients: “Taking medication for anxiety? You could be driving impaired.”
Throw into this mix of real-life Mario Karters the growing number of drivers who are Dazed and Confused. Weed is now more popular than cigarettes, a growing number of Americans smoke marijuana regularly, and the cannabis-infused products market is exploding.
It’s as if people believe they’re living in virtual reality and drive accordingly, in a super-hurry and indifferent to danger. And if you feel as if the driving public is increasingly unsafe, you’re not alone. I’m right there with you.
Except not really. I’m at home, forgoing anxiety and anti-anxiety meds and anti anxiety weed by avoiding the anxiety-ridden roads.

That thunderous noise strangely like the crashing of the New York City Twin Towers is the collapse of the government school system. Traditional public school enrollment is plummeting as parents withdraw their children for alternative educational arrangements. Public education is already feeling the impact with schools across the nation closing their campuses.
According to Education Next, a nonpartisan research organization, non-charter public school enrollment dropped from 81% of school-age children to 76.5%, nearly 2 million students, between spring 2020, when the U.S. enacted pandemic lockdowns, and 2022. A further drop to 47 million students by 2030 is projected by the National Center for Education Statistics.
Meanwhile, enrollment in free-market education options is surging as parents flock to private and parochial schools,micro-schools and learning pods. Homeschooling reached record enrollment levels, doubling from 3.3% of children, as reported in 2016 by the U.S. Department of Education, to 6.6% in 2022. Homeschooling among black households jumped six-fold, from 3% in spring 2020 to 18% in spring 2021.
Of the surge in conservative Christian schooling, driven by pandemic issues and radical sex instruction, E. Ray Moore, founder of the Christian Exodus Mandate, said, "This is a once-in-100-year moment for the growth of Christian education."
The bloom is off the rose. The decades-old premise that public education is one of the most important institutions in America has been exposed as a fraud.
Rather than learning how to read, write and cipher, students learn about white supremacy, transgenderism, pornography, drugs and how to be Mao-style political activists. Classrooms sport Pride flags and teach the Black Lives Matter curriculum. The anti-American 1619 Project has been implemented in more than 4,500 classrooms. Using the framework of Culturally Responsive Teaching, political lessons are fused into academic content.
State bans on the teaching of Critical Race Theory have not stopped it. While conservatives believe laws are to be followed, left-leaning educators sneeringly flaunt the laws, rebrand, and face few to no reprisals. LGBT books are openly accessible to students in school libraries. Students are encouraged to use pronouns in addressing themselves and warned by teachers not to tell their parents. Hardback textbooks have been thrown out in favor of computerized learning in class – lessons that parents rarely get to see. Social and Emotional Learning, or SEL – ostensibly to improve student mental health – is a Trojan horse to push Critical Race Theory and radical sex into lessons across the spectrum.
When parents confront school boards about what their children are being taught, they are shut down with some arrested and jailed. They are labeled "domestic terrorists" and targeted by the the U.S. Department of Justice.
There is a "great divide" between what public schools decide children should learn and what parents want their children to learn. This was quite clear in the recent "Purpose of Education Index" survey by the national think tank Populace. Seventy percent of respondents believe much should change about the educational system, including 21% who believe the system should totally change.
Instead of college being the end goal of K-12, respondents believe that students should be taught practical skills such as managing personal finances, preparing a meal and making an appointment. They should learn the basic 3 R's and necessary skills to be competitive in the local job market. Learning good character traits (e.g. honesty, kindness, integrity and ethics), and not social norms, would be a hallmark of a successful education.
Many decades ago, public schools taught good character traits and a classic education that prepared students for the workforce and adulthood. Boys learned practical skills in shop classes, and girls learned to sew and cook in home economics.
It is a widely held belief that if parents can get rid of Marxism, transgenderism and Social and Emotional Learning, they can "take back" their schools – yet public schools have always been and always will be government-controlled – not parent controlled. Until the purpose of public education is changed, it cannot be reformed. A nationwide system of public education with corresponding teacher colleges was not founded because colonial education was woefully inadquate, or only for the elites, as the standard histories would have us believe. Public education was intended to serve as the vehicle for gradually shifting the U.S. to socialism and replacing Christianity with secular humanism.
Socialists have skillfully intertwined deep tentacles within the system, rendering it impossible to reform. This is evident with the string of reform programs since the 1970s that have increased spending more than twice as much per student (after accounting for inflation) and vast wealth to ed-tech companies, created high-paying jobs for a bloated education administration and enriched public officials who also profit from reform schemes.
Numerous federal statutes, that also created the U.S. Department of Education, have gradually shifted an incredible amount of control to the federal government, although forbidden by the Constitution. Common Core and Social and Emotional Learning have been codified at the federal level with SEL now the primary purpose of education. In 1994, legislation forced states to create statewide curriculum standards and tests, which now must be approved at the federal level or risk losing federal funding.
Public education has been highly successful in achieving its founding purpose. A majority of our youth now identify with socialism/communism and reject Christianity. Purposely, students have been dumbed down – two out of three cannot read at basic level – so they will be incapable of becoming self-governing adults.
It is easier, and often cheaper, to build a new house than to repair one with a massively decayed foundation and structure. Parents fleeing public schools understand this axiom. How our children will be educated is already changing. Future education will look nothing like the public system of the past century.
