WND:  U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, a medical doctor by profession, made an unnerving prediction about masks on Wednesday, saying mandates to wear facial coverings are never going away as long as the political left is in charge.

“They will never relent. These people are never gonna let you not wear a mask,” the Kentucky Republican told Todd Herman, the fill-in host on Rush Limbaugh’s national broadcast.

“I promise you, you will never get out from the mask because they’re saying that even after all are vaccinated, we don’t know, you still might catch it a little bit, you still might transmit it, even after everybody’s vaccinated. So don’t listen to these people.”

LifeSite News: The World Economic Forum (WEF) rehashed its talking points for the Great Reset in a promo video released during its 2021 Summit, admitting that people think they are “masking some nefarious plan for world domination,” before proceeding to treat you, the listener, like a 6-year-old, by spouting clear lies and contradictions.

The overwhelmingly negative response to the video only drives home their admission that the Great Reset, which is touted as a positive, if radical, economic and social transformation of our societies, is deeply unpopular. And the level of backlash to this video alone demonstrates why they cannot ignore the uproar.

The veneer of bright color, the upbeat pace, and the punchy presentation that try so hard to get you excited are the lipstick on the pig that is the Great Reset. The WEF cannot — or perhaps simply chooses not to – hide their glaring attempt to hijack your country and way of life.

The video attempts to innocently sweep away the concerns about the Great Reset: “But all we really want to say is that we all have an opportunity to build a better world. And it’s not surprising that people who have been disenfranchised by a broken system and pushed even further by the pandemic will suspect global leaders of conspiracy.”

In their arrogance, or haste, or both, the Davos elites don’t bother presenting you, a mere serf, with a substantive or coherent explanation of their desired global revolution. Read More

LifeSite News: The Biden administration announced Thursday the impending repeal of the Mexico City Policy, restoring foreign aid to organizations involved in abortion and guaranteeing thousands of additional babies will be killed worldwide.

The White House has announced that President Joe Biden will soon be issuing a “Presidential Memorandum to protect and expand access to comprehensive reproductive health care,” which “immediately rescinds the global gag rule, also referred to as the Mexico City Policy, which bars international non-profits that provide abortion counseling or referrals from receiving U.S. funding.”

Shortly after taking office in 2017, former President Donald Trump’s Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance (PLGHA) policy not only reinstated the Mexico City Policy, which under previous Republican presidents had applied to groups that committed abortions, but took the additional step of expanding it to groups that promote or discuss abortion.

The action resulted in international abortion providers Planned Parenthood and Marie Stopes losing millions of dollars because they refused to drop abortion in order to qualify for the money. Marie Stopes also had to close hundreds of operations across Africa. At the same time, reviews by the State Department found that most recipients have complied with the new rules without issue, leaving the distribution of legitimate foreign aid unharmed.

The new Biden memo “also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to take immediate action to consider whether to rescind regulations under its Title X family planning program.” Read More

LifeSite News: Continuing the trend of Big Tech censorship, Twitter announced on Monday that it would begin allowing certain users of its social media platform to “fact-check” tweets, with the ability to add notes if they discern the content to be “misleading.”

To this end, Twitter has created Birdwatch, a “community-based approach to misinformation.” The users who are selected to be part of the community watch will be asked “to identify information in Tweets they believe is misleading and write notes that provide informative context.”

🐦 Today we’re introducing @Birdwatch, a community-driven approach to addressing misleading information. And we want your help. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/aYJILZ7iKB

Twitter envisages that the new initiative will enable them “to respond quickly when misleading information spreads.”

The program is currently in the pilot stage of development. Americans using Twitter who have not violated the platform’s “Rules and Policies” are eligible to join the program. While Twitter will be starting with 1,000 community users for now, the hope is to extend the program to 100,000 users.

Anybody can attempt to sign up for Birdwatch at the official website.
