Everyone knows the old joke about detecting when a certain person is lying...Just check to see if their lips are moving.
In Anthony Fauci, a better test is simply to compare what he says privately away from the cameras with his public pronouncements, as his private words frequently directly contradict the many lies he tells in public.
As we hope to find the truth in Fauci’s @COVIDSelect deposition today, his deposition in the Missouri v. Biden case on Fauci’s collusion to suppress speech showed that for a supposedly smart guy, he doesn’t seem to “recall” a great deal when examined under oath.
@COVIDSelect My best estimate is that Fauci will answer “I don’t recall” more than 100 times over the next two days of testimony.
@COVIDSelect To understand the slippery nature of this man, everyone should review the top Fauci lies from my recent book, Deception: The Great Covid Cover-up.
@COVIDSelect Lie #1️⃣: “The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” - Fauci
@COVIDSelect Truth: Acting NIH Director Tabak admitted in October 2021 that the NIH-funded research at the WIV allowed viruses to gain function.
@COVIDSelect Truth: Fauci admits (in private in February 2020) that gain-of-function research was occurring at the WIV and precisely describes the research...The research he describes matches research grants given to the WIV by the NIH.
@COVIDSelect Lie #2️⃣: “Well, let me state for the record that masks are not theater. Masks are protective.” - Fauci
@COVIDSelect Truth:
Fauci in a private email to Sylvia Burwell: “The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material.”
@COVIDSelect Truth: “There is no evidence that they — masks — make any difference.” - Tom Jefferson,
Epidemiologist and author of Cochrane’s analysis of 78 randomized controlled studies on masks
@COVIDSelect Lie #3️⃣: Fauci maintains that people should get a COVID-19 vaccine regardless of prior infection, saying that the level of protection from natural immunity is uncertain.
@COVIDSelect Truth:
Fauci in response to a mother asking if her 14 yr old who recently had the Flu should get the flu shot: “Well, no. If she got the flu...She’s as protected as anybody can be, because the best vaccination is to get infected yourself...”
@COVIDSelect Lie #4️⃣: Feb 4th, 2020, Fauci publicly supports and privately edits a journal paper called Proximal Origins, which argues that the COVID-19 virus is “not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”
@COVIDSelect Truth:
Fauci writes on Feb 1st, 2020, summarizing a private discussion with the same virologists: “That they were concerned...That there were mutations in the virus that would be unusual to have evolved naturally in bats..."
@COVIDSelect There’s nothing more conclusive than catching a liar lying with his own words!

🧵Many of us were called “conspiracy theorists” for questioning whether or not COVID-19 started because of a lab leak. After all, Anthony Fauci and the NIH had been funding dangerous gain-of-function research.
And because the far Left’s golden child, Dr. Fauci, said we weren’t “following the science,” the mainstream media parroted his talking points and ran with it. forbes.com/sites/startswi…
But don’t forget: Anthony Fauci admitted he *knew* there could be something as serious as a lab leak, but he thought the benefits outweighed the risk of a potential pandemic. Boy, was he wrong…
We can cut the proposed border funding in half, from $150 billion to $75 billion, and still secure our border and protect the American people.
Let me give you an example of how this is excessive.
Let’s take the proposed border wall.
Proposed fence cost: $46.5 billion
Actual fence cost: $6.5 billion
How did I come up with that number? Math based on costs, according to Border Patrol.
$6.5 million per mile x 1,000 miles of border wall = $6.5 billion
Where is that extra $40 billion going?
I’m all for hiring new people to help secure our borders, but we don’t need it to the extent that’s in this bill, especially when our border is largely contained.
We have to remember that every person we hire comes with added costs: health care benefits, pension benefits, the list goes on.
You would think that the revelations concerning the State Dept. paying for Trans operas, comic books, and such would shame Congress into reducing foreign aid...
🧵2/6
But watch your Congress person closely. In a matter of days, Congress will vote to continue foreign aid at current levels for another year. What an insult to the American taxpayer.
🧵3/6
In case, you’ve forgotten what lunacy is being funded by foreign aid, here is a reminder:
$14M for cash vouchers for illegal migrants
$55K for a climate change presentation by female & LGBT journalists IN ARGENTINA!
One of the things I love to hate about Washington is that they look at challenges the same way every time, despite the evidence that their last plan didn’t work.
Need to fix our budget? Don’t worry, they will spend MORE ...
I'm BACK. I'm not as back as the Trump folks; they're SO back. I'm just back.
What are some of your Festivus traditions? Tell us in the replies! I tried to get feats of strength on the Senate floor as a tradition, but since everyone else is over 80, there weren't many takers.
Quick, who has the higher average age, the Senate or the top touring musical acts of 2024? They have Jagger, Richards, Springsteen, and Dylan, but we have Grassley. It's a tough call.
