“…The health officialโs advice, at least for now, appears to be at odds with the US Food and Drug Administrationโs advisory panel, which on Friday rejected the idea of mass booster shots, despite President Joe Biden already endorsing the idea. They instead recommended boosters for those at higher risk, like people over the age of 65.
Due to the efficacy of the vaccines waning over time, Fauci believes booster shots will especially be necessary for older patients. Asked whether minors will need to be subjected to the long regimen of shot after shot after shot, Fauci said,ย โWe donโt know that yet.โ
Fauci does insist, however, that children as young as six months will soon be inoculated against coronavirus. He believes children as young as five will likely be approved to get vaccinated by autumn, and children as young as six months will follow in the months after…”

“…The migrant mass of some 15,000 mostly Haitians now illegally on U.S. territory in a squalid, never-before-seen shantytown under a bridge near Del Rio, Texas demands some answers.
It’s natural to want to know howย this formed? Why is it so big? Why did it end up at Del Rio, Texas, a town ill-equipped to accommodate them? How did these people fly or sail from faraway Haiti? Areย more on the way? And where the heck is Joe Biden and his brainless, disengagedย border czar, Kamala Harris? Joe was last seen at the beach in Delaware as this crisis fireballedย and Harris was last seen flipping a coin to kick off a sports event. The only actual action from thisย administration in this monster crisis has been a hamfisted attemptย to shut down a Fox News drone in a bid to halt photos of the specterย from being broadcast toย the public.
We do have one clue: Open-borders Democrats are promoting a phony narrative to argue for letting them in:
When Texas lost power, you fled to Cancun for some R&R.

It’s fake and theย answers to these questions show it. Theย actual storyย is stunning.
The Center for Immigration Studies, sentย a senior researcher named Todd Bensman ask those questions on the ground, going to the immigrants themselves,ย and he came up with aย doozy of an answer:
The surprising answer, which the migrants provided independently in different places and at different times, was universal: on Sunday, September 12, the Mexican government effectively sent a mass of migrants it had bottled up for months in its southern states up to the American border. This move, which appears to have been done under the cover of Mexico’s independence week of celebration known asย El Grito, essentially foisted a humanitarian problem onto the Americans in a single week.
Mexico was the one who did it. Turns out Joe Biden promised them some things and based on the available information, apparently never delivered. Mexico’s response to that was comparable to that of the underpaid wedding photographer whoย deleted a camera full of wedding photosย after the callous client denied her a bathroom or meal break after a multi-hour shift. They had been penning up thousands of illegal Haitian migrants on their southern border in the town of Tapachula from entering the U.S. and opened the floodgates, all to teach Joe Biden a lesson about messing with them.
So much for Joe Biden vaunted ‘diplomacy is back’ claim — he can’t even manage the U.S. Diplomacy 101ย task of managing relations with our nearest neighbor, Mexico. Biden had been touted in the press for his supposed foreign policy expertise but he’s beyond incompetent of this, managing to severely alienate both France and Mexico, and sure enough, Mexico has already bit back.
As for why they all chose to head for Del Rio, Bensman found the answer to that, too – migrants were told that cartels did not hold sway over that crossing as they did at other illegal crossings, and so, migrants could get across without paying ‘fees’ to the cartels for the privilege of entering the U.S. illegally. And it certainly helped matters for them that Joe Biden halted the border wall.
The Bensman report is positively fascinating in its detail and very well written, so be sure to read theย whole thing here.
An additional factor in this surge was pointed out by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas:
Days ago, Joe Biden made a political decision to no longer allow deportation flights back to Haiti.

“…The 26-page indictmentย of former cybersecurity attorney and Hillary Clinton campaign lawyerย Michael Sussmannย by special counsel John Durham is as detailed as it is damning on the alleged effort to push a false Russia collusion claim before the 2016 presidential campaign. One line, however, seems to reverberate for those of us who haveย followed this scandal for yearsย now: “You do realize that we will have to expose every trick we have in our bag.”
That warning from an unnamed “university researcher” captures the most fascinating aspect of the indictment in describing a type of Nixonian dirty tricks operationย run by – or at least billed to – the Clintonย campaign. With Nixon, his personal attorney and the Committee to Re-Elect the President (CREEP) paid for operatives to engage in disruptive and ultimately criminal conduct targeting his opponents. With Clinton, the indictment and prior disclosures suggest that Clinton campaign lawyers at the law firm of Perkins Coie helped organize an effort to spread Russia collusion stories and trigger an investigation.
Durham accuses Sussmann of lying to the general counsel of the FBI in September 2016 when Sussmann delivered documents and data to the FBI supposedly supporting a claim that Russia’s Alpha Bank was used as a direct conduit betweenย former President Trump’s campaign and the Kremlin. According to Durham, Sussman told the FBI general counsel that he was not delivering the information on behalf of any client. The indictment not only details multiple billings to the Clinton campaign as the data was collected and the documents created; it claims Sussman billed the campaign for the actual meeting with the FBI. At the time, Perkins Coie attorney Marc Elias was general counsel for the Clinton campaign. Both men have since left the firm.
The big trick in 2016 was the general effort to create a Russia collusion scandal with the help of Justice Department insiders and an eager, enabling media.
It was only lastย October, for instance, that we learned that then-President Obama wasย briefed by his CIA director, John Brennan, on an intelligence report that Clintonย plannedย to tie then-candidate Trumpย to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”ย That was on July 28, 2016 – three days before theย Russia investigation was initiated.
The problem was that both the Steele dossier and the Alpha Bank allegations fell apart soon after being fed to the FBI.ย A key source forย dossier compiler and former British spyย Christopher Steele was viewed by American intelligence as a Russian agent, and it was believed that the Clinton campaign and the dossier were being used by Russian intelligence to spread disinformation.
According to Durham, the Alpha Bank allegation fell apart even before Sussmann delivered it to the FBI.ย The indictment details how an unnamed “tech executive” allegedly used his authority at multiple internet companies to help develop the ridiculous claim.ย (The executive reportedly later claimed that he was promised a top cyber security job in the Clintonย administration).ย Notably, there were many who expressed misgivings not only within the companies working on the secret project but also among unnamed “university researchers” who repeatedly said the argument was bogus.
The researchers were told they should not be looking for proof but just enough to “give the base of a very useful narrative.” The researchers argued, according to the indictment, that anyone familiar with analyzing internet traffic “would poke several holes” in that narrative, noting that what they saw likely “was not a secret communications channel with Russian Bank-1, but ‘a red herring,'” according to the indictment. “Researcher-1” repeated these doubts, the indictment says, and asked, “How do we plan to defend against the criticism that this is not spoofed traffic we are observing? There is no answer to that. Let’s assume again that they are not smart enough to refute our ‘best case scenario.’ You do realize that we will have to expose every trick we have in our bag to even make a very weak association.”
“Researcher-1” allegedly further warned, “We cannot technically make any claims that would fly public scrutiny. The only thing that drives us at this point is that we just do not like [Trump]. This will not fly in eyes of public scrutiny. Folks, I am afraid we have tunnel vision. Time to regroup?”
Clinton herself discussed the allegations as if they were the product of independent sleuths. Right before the 2016 election,ย sheย tweeted,ย “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.”
The indictment details an operation that parallels the notorious Steeleย dossier, which also featured a pattern of working with FBIย insiders while denying connections to the campaign.
Theย Clinton team denied involvementย in the creation of theย Steele dossier throughout the 2016 campaign despite direct media inquiries. It was only after the election that mysterious expenses for its legal counsel led reporters to discover the truth.ย The payments for the dossier were masked asย “legal fees” among the $5.6 millionย paid to the law firm.ย According to New York Times reporter Ken Vogel, Elias categorically denied involvement in the anti-Trump dossier; when Vogel tried to report the story, he said Elias “pushed back vigorously, saying ‘You (or your sources) are wrong.'” Times reporterย Maggie Habermanย later wrote that “folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year.”
According to the indictment, Sussman told the truth – and contradicted what he’d originally told the FBI general counsel – when interviewed under oath in December 2017 before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, telling them he did not hold the meetingย of his own volition but at the request of a client.
Notably, another Clinton figureย pushing the Alpha Bank conspiracyย was Jake Sullivan, who now weighs intelligence reports for President Biden as his national security adviser. Sullivan, a senior policy adviser to Clinton, declared inย an official campaign press statementย that the Alpha Bank allegation “could be the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow” and portrayed it as the work of independent experts: “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank. This secret hotline may be the key to unlocking the mystery of Trump’s ties to Russia. … This line of communication may help explain Trump’s bizarre adoration of Vladimir Putin.”
So the “very useful narrative” was delivered to the media and the FBI and, along with the dossier, was used to launch the Russia investigation, which led to the appointment of former special counsel Robert Mueller. The “bag of tricks” was supposed to be buried with the involvement of the Clinton campaign – until Trump Attorney Generalย William Barr appointed Durham as a second special counsel.
Durham’s indictment of Sussman seems to have revealed quite a bit about how scandals are manufactured and manipulated in Washington.ย From CREEP to Clinton, lawyersย discovered themselvesย in legal jeopardy when special prosecutors found them holding a “bag of tricks.” A dirty trick in politics can be a thing of beauty for a campaign – until it boomerangs on the tricksters.
Durham’s final report, meanwhile, could answer even more questions, but will Washington ever allow it to see the light of day without massive redactions?…”
