10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today
#10 – Dr. Peter Hotez warns of a series of potential pandemics “coming down the pike,” claiming it will all “come crashing down” on Trump “on January 21st.”
Is that a threat?
Meanwhile, a mysterious “flu-like disease” has claimed 179 lives and counting in Africa, leaving health officials scrambling for answers as they admit they “have no idea what it is,” The New York Post reports.
While on MSNBC, Hotez named every disease he could think of in less than 60 seconds, claiming all of them could pose a serious threat to public health under the new Trump administration, especially because of RFK Jr. and “anti-vaccine” activism.
This includes:
• Bird flu
• New coronavirus (SARS)
• Dengue
• Zika
• Oropouche virus
• Yellow fever
• Whooping cough
• Measles
• Polio
“We have some big picture stuff coming down the pike... All that’s going to come crashing down on January 21st on the Trump administration,” Hotez warned.

good interview
Renowned Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch, is back with an update on the crime and violence cooking with the commie Dems, RINO’s and Deep State. First, the crime coverup is the pardon of Hunter Biden that spans 10 years of alleged crime. First Lady Jill Biden is elated about the pardon for son Hunter. Klayman says, “The fact that Jill Biden is so happy about this is because she is one of the actors and conspirators in the bribery, which took place with regard to communist China, Ukraine and Russia. She benefited by it. Who was the money launderer? Her son, Hunter Biden. She could have been indicted along with Hunter, as well as brother James of the Biden crime family for the bribery and money laundering. . . . I think his brother James will get a pardon because he’s dead to rights with what has been uncovered. I think more pardons are coming. Joe Biden does not care at this point. The guy has no legitimate reputation.”

The new Republican majority Senate will confirm all President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) predicted Monday.
Cotton’s words hold a lot of water. He was elected in November to serve as Senate Republican Conference chair, the third-ranking post in leadership.
His bold pronouncement signals that the conference is ready to move past establishment media-generated controversy and get to work acting on Trump’s mandate by installing his picks to deliver his agenda.
“I expect our Republican Senate is going to confirm all of President Trump’s nominees,” Cotton tweeted Monday morning.

BREAKING: The North Carolina Legislature has successfully overridden the Democrat governor's veto of the law they passed, which strips away the Democrats' control of the State Elections Board.
This means future elections in North Carolina will be far more secure & accurate. Remember that this is the same Board that rejected RJK Jr.'s request to take his name off the ballot. The power to appoint board members will now be in the newly-elected Republican state auditor's hands.
Besides the powerful election integrity change. The new law also:
- Removes corrupt judges from office
- Prevents the Attorney General's office from interfering in lawsuits filed by the General Assembly
- And ensures that State Supreme Court vacancies are filled from a list of recommendations by the party of whichever justice retires.
I am one happy guy right now. It's SUPER AWESOME that they pulled it off. I honestly expected at least one Republican Rep to turn, but Speaker Moore & the leadership kept all of them in line. GREAT WORK!

How about a ten page bill.
When they have reams-long bills like that, it is because they are HIDING something. Many somethings.
Remember the 2000-page ACA bill? BURIED in there, was that new power for the CDC to declare "pandemics" and then FORCE all hospitals taking government money, and that's all of them, to comply with explicit "protocols."
How'd that work out? Ventilators and Remdesivir. No one says a word about Fow Chee owning the patent for the FAILED drug Remdesivir, and that he was COMPELLING USE of it, even with obvious evidence it was killing patients.
That's what this kind of lawmaking does.
Tell me again, why we don't need to re-explore Secession.

You probably heard about Romania's election being canceled because of alleged Russian influence on TikTok...?
This is an absolutely bombshell: the story about the cancelled elections in Romania is even far more sinister than previously thought.
A new report from investigative outlet http://snoop.ro (https://snoop.ro/anaf-a-descoperit-...-promovat-masiv-pe-calin-georgescu-pe-tiktok/) reveals that the TikTok campaign which was cited in the declassified Romanian intelligence documents (summarized in my post below
) as evidence of foreign interference - and used as grounds to cancel the presidential election - was actually paid for by the ruling National Liberal Party (PNL), the very party that supported cancelling the elections!
According to the investigation, the campaign called "#EchilibrușiVerticalitate" that the intelligence services claimed was "identical to Russian operations in Ukraine" was organized by a marketing firm called Kensington Communication, hired by PNL (the ruling party), who paid Kensington over 1 million RON for it (about $210,000). Kensington then used a platform called FameUp to coordinate 130 influencers with specific scripts and messaging guidelines.
This puts the declassified intelligence documents in an entirely new light. What they presented as evidence of foreign interference was actually a campaign paid for by the ruling party. The same party that then supported using these allegations of "foreign interference" to cancel an election they were losing.
Even more bizarrely, confronted by journalists, Kensington Communication initially denied using the hashtag but later admitted to creating the campaign for PNL, claiming it was meant to be called "#echilibrusiseriozitate" and was changed to "#echilibrusiverticalitate" without their knowledge. Yeah, right...
This means that either the Romanian intelligence services didn't know this was a PNL-funded campaign when they used it as evidence to cancel the election (which raises huge questions about their competence), or they did know and didn't disclose it (which raises even bigger questions about their integrity).
In any case, it seems to indicate that something extremely sinister happened in Romania: a ruling party used intelligence services to cancel an election based on "foreign interference" evidence that they themselves paid for!

Iffn you haven't heard yet...
(SPECIAL VIDEO REPORT)
As Georgia stands on the brink of political uncertainty, outgoing President Salome Zourabichvili’s dramatic refusal to vacate office has sent shockwaves through the nation. With the inauguration of the new president imminent, protests and political tensions fill the streets of Tbilisi, raising questions about the country’s future.
A Fraught Transition of Power
On the eve of the inauguration, I report from Tbilisi, where the situation has become increasingly volatile. Zourabichvili, disputing the legitimacy of the recent elections, has called for her supporters to gather at the Presidential Palace. In a video message, she announced her intention to remain in the palace overnight, urging protesters to join her at 10 a.m. the following morning to determine "what the next days will be like and what the days of victory will be like."
This declaration has been interpreted by many as a call for insurrection, pitting her followers against the ruling Georgian Dream party. With the opposition energized by her defiance, the question remains: how will the government respond?
Protests in Tbilisi: A Nation Divided
For over a month, protests have gripped Tbilisi, with thousands taking to the streets to voice their discontent. I describe scenes of unrest interwoven with the festive backdrop of Christmas decorations, highlighting the stark contrasts in the capital. While earlier protests drew tens of thousands nightly, the crowd size has dwindled, though a few thousand remain steadfast.
On the eve of the inauguration, demonstrators took action by blocking major roads in Tbilisi, intensifying tensions ahead of the swearing-in ceremony. These actions underscore the deep divisions within Georgian society, with some rallying behind Zourabichvili and others supporting the Georgian Dream party's stance that the elections were fair and legitimate.
A Message from the Palace
As I report from outside the Presidential Palace, the gravity of Zourabichvili's defiance becomes clear. This plea signals a direct challenge to the authority of the Georgian Dream government and its newly elected president.
The potential scenarios are varied and fraught with uncertainty. Will the government forcefully remove Zourabichvili from the palace? Will they wait until after the holiday season to avoid further inflaming tensions? The answers will shape the immediate future of Georgia’s political landscape.
Voices from the Ground
My coverage has captured the diverse perspectives of Georgians affected by the turmoil. Young protesters vehemently oppose the Georgian Dream government, citing concerns over election integrity and governance. Conversely, members of the older generation largely support the ruling party, believing the elections were conducted fairly.
This divide reflects broader societal tensions in Georgia, with generational and ideological differences contributing to the current crisis.
What Lies Ahead?
As the clock ticks closer to the inauguration, all eyes are on Tbilisi. The ruling Georgian Dream party faces a critical decision: how to handle an outgoing president who refuses to step down. The outcome could have far-reaching implications, not only for Georgia but for its international relations and democratic stability.

BREAKING: An investigation by the Inspector General has found that three senior DOJ officials violated the law by leaking sensitive & private information to the media to hurt President Trump's reelection chances.
“The OIG investigation found that three then Senior DOJ Officials violated DOJ’s Confidentiality and Media Contacts Policy by leaking to select reporters, days before an election, non-public DOJ investigative information regarding ongoing DOJ investigative matters, resulting in the publication of two news articles that included the non-public DOJ investigative information.”
“The OIG investigation also found that one of these three then Senior DOJ Officials violated the Confidentiality and Media Contacts Policy and DOJ’s Social Media Policy by reposting through a DOJ social media account links to the news articles."
Based on context clues, the information they leaked likely pertained to the hoax the deep state tried to create about Egypt's President El-Sisi wanting to donate to Trump's 2016 campaign. I say this is likely true because Senator Chuck Grassley wrote a letter in August accusing the FBI & DOJ of the leaks.
The report has been provided to the DOJ official responsible for prosecuting Hatch Act violations.
Dear Future AG Pam Bondi,
Arrest these crooks, charge them with treason, and put them in jail for a long time.
