Biden’s Economic Ratings Are So Bad They’re Worse Than Jimmy Carter’s In 1977
Joe Biden’s economic ratings have sunk to lower net ratings than former President Jimmy Carter in the first December of his presidency, a CNN/SSRS poll found.
The poll found that Biden holds a 45% approval rating and a 54% disapproval rating among registered voters on the economy, down from a 51% approval rating in August and September. The survey’s results add up to an overall -9 point net approval rating, while the average of all polls taken in December gives the president -13 points for his economic performance.
The poll also found that only 30% said Biden’s policies have improved economic conditions, while 45% responded that conditions have worsened. The poll surveyed 1,256 respondents ages 18 or older via web and phone between Dec. 18-12 with a 3.7% margin of error.
Inflation hit its highest numbers in nearly four decades with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increasing 0.9% in November and the inflation indicator’s year-over-year increase to 6.8%. Food prices rose by a staggering 6.1% and energy by 33.3% in the past year.
The American Automobile Association reported that gas prices have more than doubled in comparison to the previous year. California faced its highest gas prices since 12, averaging...
Breaking: Gen. Flynn Files Restraining Order Against Pelosi - We Have the Actual Court Docs
The filed complaint named all nine members of the Select Committee as defendants; the filed motion named Pelosi as the single defendant.
Flynn served under former President Donald Trump for only a few weeks at the beginning of the administration, resigning on Feb. 13, 2017. But the House committee looking into the events of Jan. 6 have unexpectedly focused on Flynn in their investigation.
In November, Flynn was mailed a subpoena ordering him to hand over documents and appear for a deposition.
“The Subpoena commanded General Flynn produce documents in response to twenty sweeping and vague demands covering a year and a half time frame — by November 23, 2021. Further, it commanded General Flynn to appear for a deposition on December 6, 2021, ” the complaint read.
The complaint explained that at the time of Jan. 6, (and during all the times relevant to the subpoena and committee investigation) Gen. Flynn was a private citizen who personally held doubts and beliefs about the integrity of the 2020 election — but that is no crime, the complaint argued.
“It is not a crime to hold such beliefs, regardless of whether they are correct or mistaken, to discuss them with others, to associate with those who...

New White House Dog Professionally Trained To Not Growl When Biden Touches A Child
WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a video released by the Administration, President Biden showed off the newest, furry addition to the White House: an adorable German Shepherd puppy named Commander who has been professionally trained not to growl when Biden touches a child.
“It took weeks of intensive training to overcome the German Shepherd’s instinctive desire to protect vulnerable children, but we did it,” said professional pet trainer Bob Heirbouy, who demonstrated by grabbing a child-size doll and sniffing its hair aggressively in front of Commander, who simply tilted his head and looked on. “Commander will be a perfect fit in the Biden White House.”
The dog trainer added that his business is booming since training Biden’s dog to ignore any acts toward children ranging from general creepiness to outright abuse, stating he has received calls from celebrities, business executives, and elite politicians.
“I’m swamped,” said Mr. Heirbouy, “Right now I’m training a cat for the Biden family so it will seek out and pee on stray...
Finnish firm earns US patent for Covid drug containing ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine
The Turku company says its nasal spray delivers low, safe doses of hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin and aprotinin.
A coronavirus drug developed by Therapeutica Borealis, a pharmaceutical firm in Turku, has been granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The nasal spray contains hydroxychloroquine, among other ingredients.
Earlier in May, the company said it had received approval for a patent application, based on which it expected a final patent this month.
“The final patent is an important milestone for us on our way to the market. Our next goal is to find an established pharmaceutical industry company with an international business scale,” says Professor Kalervo Väänänen, one of the three inventors and founders of Therapeutica Borealis, in a press release on Monday. Väänänen is a cell biologist and former rector of the University of Turku.
The co-inventors of the drug and co-founders of Therapeutica Borealis are Lauri Kangas, an adjunct professor of science at the University of Turku, and Matti Rihko, a psychologist, and board chair of the Turku Chamber of Commerce and of the University of Turku. He is also a former CEO of the Raisio food corporation, known for its cholesterol-lowering Benecol products.
According to the company, the nasal spray acts on cell function in nasal mucous in three ways, impairing the ability of the virus to penetrate the body and multiply, thus reducing the risk of serious illness.
Another Finnish pharmaceutical company, Rokote Laboratories, has been developing a coronavirus vaccine in nasal spray form, but has struggled to gain financing.
“Tackling the pandemic probably requires, in addition to a vaccine, a preventive or early-acting drug. This drug also helps especially in a situation where vaccine coverage threatens to remain too low for herd immunity,” said Väänänen.
WHO warned against ivermectin use except in clinical trials
The firm said that the drug's active ingredients – aprotinin, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin – are well-known and widely used drugs, but in this product are used in a new, targeted manner on the upper respiratory mucous membrane.
All the drug molecules covered by the patent are approved for the treatment of other diseases, but if used systemically, for instance as pills or infusions swallowed by patients, the amounts of drugs would be high and potentially harmful.
For topical use, as in a nasal spray, the concentrations of the active ingredients throughout the body remain very low but are sufficient locally to prevent the passage and replication of the virus, making the drug safer and...
