Dr. Pierre Kory testifies to Senate Committee about Ivermectin, Dec. 8, 2020
Appearing as a witness on Dec. 8, 2020, before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs—which held a hearing on “Early Outpatient Treatment: An Essential Part of a COVID-19 Solution”— Dr. Pierre Kory, President of the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), called for the government to swiftly review the already expansive and still rapidly emerging medical evidence on Ivermectin.
The data shows the ability of the drug Ivermectin to prevent COVID-19, to keep those with early symptoms from progressing to the hyper-inflammatory phase of the disease, and even to help critically ill patients recover. Dr. Kory testified that Ivermectin is effectively a “miracle drug” against COVID-19 and called upon the government’s medical authorities—the NIH, CDC, and FDA—to urgently review the latest data and then issue guidelines for physicians, nurse-practitioners, and physician assistants to prescribe Ivermectin for COVID-19.

We are keen to avoid quackery on all fronts, theological, political, and medical. The Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), which is not quackery, is recommending the use of Ivermectin as a “miracle cure” and “wonder drug” for prevention and early treatment of Covid-19. We don’t know if it is true that no one who takes Ivermectin will get Covid, but it is obvious from the studies so far that it has a major effect. On Dec. 8, 2020, Dr. Pierre Kory, President of the FLCCC appeared before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs in Washington, D.C., to testify of the group’s scientific findings. Dr. Kory said, “We are a group of one of the most highly published physicians in the world. We have nearly 2,000 peer-reviewed publications among us. Led by Professor Paul Marik, who is our intellectual leader, we came together early on in the pandemic, and all we have sought is to review the world’s literature on every factor of this disease, trying to develop effective protocols. I was here [before the Senate committee] in May, and I recommended that it was critical that we use corticosteroids in treating this disease, when all of the national and international health care organizations said we cannot use those. That turned out to be a life-saving recommendation. I’m here again today with a new recommendation. ... We have a solution to this crisis. There is a drug that is proving to be of miraculous impact, and when I say ‘miracle’ I do not use that term lightly. I don’t want to be sensationalized when I say that. This is a scientific recommendation based on mountains of data that has emerged in the last three months. When I am told that we are touting things that are not FDA recommended, let me be clear, the NIH [National Institutes of Health], their recommendation on Ivermectin, which is to not use it outside of controlled trials, is from August 27. We are now in December. This is three to four months later. Mountains of data have emerged from many centers and countries from around the world showing the miraculous effect of Ivermectin. It basically obliterates transmission of this virus. ... Our manuscript details all of this evidence. ... We now have four large randomized controlled trials totaling over 1,500 patients, each trial showing that as a prophylaxis agent it is immensely effective. ... In early outpatient treatment, we have three randomized control trials and multiple observation as well as case series showing that if you take Ivermectin the need for hospitalization and death will decrease. ... We have four randomized control trials there, multiple observation trials, all showing the same thing. You will not die, or you will die at much, much lower rates, statistically significant, large magnitude results if you take Ivermectin. It is proving to be a wonder drug. It has already won the Noble prize in medicine in 2015 for its impact on global health in the eradication of parasitic diseases. ... Our manuscript has been submitted for peer review, but please recognize that peer review takes months, and we don’t have months. We have 100,000 patients in the hospitals right now dying. I am a lung specialist. I am an ICU specialist. I’ve cared for more dying Covid patients than anyone can imagine. They’re dying because they can’t breathe. ... They are on high velocity oxygen delivery devices, non-evasive ventilators, and/or they are sedated and paralyzed and attached to mechanical ventilators that breathe for them. ... By the time they get to me in the ICU, they are dying, they are almost impossible to recover. Early treatment is key. ... Any further deaths are going to be needless deaths. I cannot keep caring for patients when I know that they could have been saved with early treatment, and that drug that will treat them and prevent the hospitalization is Ivermectin.” Dr. Kory called upon the government’s medical authorities--the NIH, CDC, and FDA--to urgently review the latest data and then issue guidelines for physicians, nurse-practitioners, and physician assistants to prescribe Ivermectin for COVID-19.

SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN RESTRICTIONS ON COLORADO AND NEW JERSEY CHURCHES

The following is excerpted from “Supreme Court Slaps Down,” The Federalist, Dec. 15, 2020: “The Supreme Court sided with a rural Colorado church Tuesday that challenged the state Democrat governor’s COVID rules restricting building capacity in some parts of the state. The 6-3 decision overturned lower court rulings that had upheld Gov. Jared Polis’s church gathering limits to a maximum of 25 percent or 50 people, whichever is fewer, and ordered lower courts to re-examine the case. ‘Today in Colorado it is perfectly legal for hundreds of shoppers to pack themselves cheek by jowl into a Lowes or other big box store or patronize any one of the thousands of other retail establishments that are not subject to draconian numerical limits,’ church attorney Barry Arrington told National Review. The case was brought by the High Plains Harvest Church north of Denver, arguing the state was unlawfully targeting religious institutions by imposing harsher restrictions on churches than shopping centers. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court also handed down its ruling on a New Jersey case brought by a Catholic priest and a rabbi. This ruling overturned limits on religious gatherings in houses of worship, wiping out executive rule-favoring opinions in the lower courts. The cases upholding religious liberty come on the heels of rare public remarks by Justice Samuel Alito criticizing coronavirus lockdowns this year as placing ‘previously unimaginable’ restrictions on American freedom. ‘We have never before seen restrictions as severe, extensive and prolonged as those experienced for most of 2020,’ Alito said in a virtual speech to The Federalist Society. ‘The COVID crisis has served as sort of a constitutional stress test.’” PJMedia added, “This would appear to open the door to churches nationwide to decide their own COVID policies. ... The arrival of Justice Amy Coney Barrett on the court has proven to be a godsend to religious liberty” (“Supreme Court,” PJMedia, Dec. 15, 2020).

Moments after receiving a presidential pardon, embattled politico and former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone announced he would file a $25 million lawsuit against the Justice Department and former top officials who took part in his persecution.
Watch – EXCLUSIVE: Roger Stone Reacts To Presidential Pardon, Martial Law, And More
Stone made the announcement via his Parler account early Thursday morning, where he added he’d also be filing formal complaints for prosecutorial misconduct.
“The terms of my pardon allow me to sue the Department of Justice, [former FBI Special Counsel] Robert Mueller, [former FBI Director] James Comey, [former CIA Director] John Brennan, [former deputy attorney general] Rod Rosenstein, [former Mueller prosecutor] Jonathan Kravis, [former Mueller prosecutor] Aaron “Fat Ass” Zelinsky, [former Mueller prosecutor] Jeanie Rhee and [former Mueller prosecutor] Michael Morando,” Stone wrote.
“My lawyers will be filing formal complaints for prosecutorial misconduct’s with DOJ office of professional responsibility at the same time I file a 25 million Dollar lawsuit against the DOJ and each of these individuals personally,” Stone stated.
“In fact,” he added, “I am going to add [US Attorney General] Bill Barr to the lawsuit and I will handle his cross-examination personally.”
The longtime Trump confidant faced 40 months in prison after he was found guilty on five separate counts related to FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion probe.
Stone was relieved to be among a list of 26 new pardons issued by the president Wednesday, which also included former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, and Charles Kushner, the father of White House senior adviser Jared Kushner.
“On behalf of my family and myself, I wish to praise God and give my deepest thanks to President Donald J. Trump for his extraordinary act of justice in issuing me a presidential pardon, completely erasing the criminal conviction to which I was subjected in a Soviet-style show trial on politically-motivated charges, further corrupted by egregious, illegal misconduct by the Jury Forewoman in the case,” Stone wrote at his website.
Stone additionally called on Trump to pardon Wikileaks editor Julian Assange, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, deceased Jamaican journalist Marcus Garvey, and former Secret Service Agent Abraham W. Bolden, Sr.

The following is President Trump’s 2020 Christmas greeting from the White House: “To every family across our nation, the first lady and I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas. For Christians, this is a joyous time to remember God’s greatest gift to the world. More than 2,000 years ago the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary. He said, ‘Do not be afraid. You have found favor with God.’ The angel told her that she would give birth to a baby boy, Jesus, who would be called the Son of the Most High. Nine months later Christ was born in the town of Bethlehem. The Son of God came into this world in a humble stable. As Christians everywhere know, the birth of our Lord and Saviour changed history forever. At Christmas we give thanks to God, that God sent His only Son to die for us and to offer everlasting peace to all humanity. More than two millennia after the birth of Jesus Christ His teachings continue to inspire and uplift billions of people all over the globe. His divine words still fill our hearts with hope and faith. And Christians everywhere still strive to live by Jesus’ timeless commandment to His disciples, ‘Love one another.’ Above all during this season our souls are filled with thanks and praise to Almighty God for sending us Christ His Son to redeem the world. Tonight we ask that God would continue to bless this nation and we pray that He will grant every American family a Christmas season full of joy, hope, and peace” (President Donald Trump). The apostle Paul gave the gospel in a nutshell as follows: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). See Video [YouTube] .
Donald and Melania Trump praise frontline workers and Covid scientists in their Christmas message. Addressing the pandemic, the President says 'we are grateful for all of the scientists, researchers, manufacturing workers and service members who have worked tirelessly to make this breakthrough possible. It is truly a Christmas miracle'.
In the roughly 14-minute video titled Statement by Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, Trump called for full transparency and promised to pursue this process through every aspect of legal and constitutional law.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump tweeted a picture of rockets fired at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Sunday. He blamed Iran for the strike and issued a powerful warning should the Islamic Republic attack again.
“Our embassy in Baghdad got hit Sunday by several rockets. Three rockets failed to launch. Guess where they were from: IRAN,” he tweeted. “Now we hear chatter of additional attacks against Americans in Iraq.”
“Some friendly health advice to Iran: If one American is killed, I will hold Iran responsible. Think it over,” the president concluded.
The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad reported the attack on Sunday.
“The U.S. Embassy confirms rockets targeting the International Zone resulted in the engagement of Embassy defensive systems. There was some minor damage on the Embassy compound but no injuries or casualties,” the embassy announced on Twitter. “These sorts of attacks on diplomatic facilities are a violation of international law and are a direct assault on the sovereignty of the Iraqi government.”
The embassy called on Iraqi officials to prevent further attacks and to “hold accountable those responsible” for them.
Saeed Khatibzadeh, a spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry, insisted Iran was not responsible for the attack and blamed the U.S. for escalating tensions.
“We strongly refute Secretary [Mike] Pompeo’s irresponsible anti-Iran accusations, which blatantly aim to create tension,” Khatibzadeh tweeted. “Iran rejects any attack on diplomatic missions. The U.S. military presence is the source of instability in our region. No amount of spin can divert blame for its evils.”
Iran-backed militias besieged the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad late last year, sparking a series of events that culminated in the assassination of Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani, who led Iran’s terrorism efforts in the Middle East and has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers.
After the strike, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei vowed “severe revenge,” but the regime’s efforts have failed. Iran fired missiles at U.S. assets, but the country also shot down a Ukrainian plane, killing its 176 passengers (82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, 7 Afghans, and 3 British citizens), sparking protests in the streets of Tehran. Iran petitioned INTERPOL to demand an arrest warrant for Trump over Soleimani’s death, but INTERPOL refused. An Iranian issued an $80 million bounty on Trump’s head, to no avail as yet.
U.S. intelligence reports have suggested that Iran is planning to assassinate U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Lana Marks, and in September, a former general of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that the IRGC planned to assassinate Trump.
While Iran’s efforts have failed so far, the Islamic Republic may grow increasingly dangerous in its desperation. Before Soleimani’s death and the recent protests, Iran faced protests last November after the country reduced fuel subsidies by 50 percent and instituted rationing, in part due to pressure from the Trump administration after America withdrew from the Iran deal.
Then the coronavirus pandemic came, just before parliamentary elections. Tehran appears to have suppressed information about the coronavirus in order to avoid a low turnout in the elections. Voting fell to the lowest level since 1979, and Khamenei accused the country’s enemies of exaggerating the threat of the coronavirus right before the election.
The outbreak appears to have begun in Qom, the mullahs’ spiritual center. Satellite images from space showing mass graves appear to have confirmed the opposition’s claims that Tehran has vastly under-reported the death count from the coronavirus pandemic. Iran’s opposition party is also mobilizing. It hosted a virtual global summit in July.
There are also heartening signs that Soleimani’s death has paved a new future for the Middle East after Trump’s historic deals between Israel and Arab states like the United Arab Emirates.
Unfortunately, incoming President Joe Biden seems intent on restoring the Iran nuclear deal, which would likely reverse some of Trump’s progress in the Middle East. Trump may crackdown on Iran in order to prevent this reversal.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump vetoed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2021. Both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate passed the NDAA by wide margins, more than enough to override the president’s veto. This bill may become the first Trump veto Congress will override.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) supported the bill despite the president’s veto threats, claiming that the NDAA will deter Chinese aggression. Yet Trump claimed that the bill will help China.
“No one has worked harder, or approved more money for the military, than I have — over $2 trillion,” Trump said in a statement. “During my 4 years, with the support of many others, we have almost entirely rebuilt the United States military, which was totally depleted when I took office.”
“Unfortunately, the Act fails to include critical national security measures, includes provisions that fail to respect our veterans and our military’s history, and contradicts efforts by my Administration to put America first in our national security and foreign policy actions. It is a ‘gift’ to China and Russia,” he added.
The president gave five reasons he would oppose the bill even though he strenuously supports military funding.
President Trump has long called for abolishing or amending Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which grants internet companies key liability for the content that third parties publish on their platforms. Trump specifically called on Congress to strike down Section 230 in the NDAA, threatening to veto the bill without a Section 230 ban.
“Your failure to terminate the very dangerous national security risk of Section 230 will make our intelligence virtually impossible to conduct without everyone knowing what we are doing at every step,” Trump wrote in his statement on the veto.
“The Act fails even to make any meaningful changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, despite bipartisan calls for repealing that provision,” he added. “Section 230 facilitates the spread of foreign disinformation online, which is a serious threat to our national security and election integrity. It must be repealed.”
While both Republicans and Democrats have criticized Big Tech companies and claimed that Section 230 provides too much protection, Section 230 is arguably extremely necessary to promote the free expression of ideas on the internet. Congress should reform Section 230 to clarify what it does and does not allow Big Tech companies to do, but it would not be wise to strike the law entirely.
While there may be a tangential connection between national security and Section 230 reform, Trump’s decision to demand Big Tech reform in the NDAA seems misplaced.
The NDAA includes a provision to rename military bases that bear the names of Confederate generals. President Trump has long opposed the campaign to strike Confederate statues and monuments from the public square, rightly arguing that the activists would move from Confederate monuments to monuments of America’s Founding Fathers (as repeatedly happened this summer).
Trump’s statement noted that the NDAA “includes language that would require the renaming of certain military installations. Over the course of United States history, these locations have taken on significance to the American story and those who have helped write it that far transcends their namesakes.”
“My Administration respects the legacy of the millions of American servicemen and women who have served with honor at these military bases, and who, from these locations, have fought, bled, and died for their country,” Trump argued. “From these facilities, we have won two World Wars. I have been clear in my opposition to politically motivated attempts like this to wash away history and to dishonor the immense progress our country has fought for in realizing our founding principles.”
Trump also faulted the NDAA for restricting “the President’s ability to preserve our Nation’s security by arbitrarily limiting the amount of military construction funds that can be used to respond to a national emergency. In a time when adversaries have the means to directly attack the homeland, the President must be able to safeguard the American people without having to wait for congressional authorization.”
Trump also claimed that an amendment in the bill “would slow down the rollout of nationwide 5G, especially in rural areas.” The NDAA seems to involve two 5G-related provisions: a measure to “support the development of a 5G wireless network by establishing the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund and the Multilateral Telecommunications Security Fund,” and a measure to reduce foreign influence in 5G — combatting the influence of Chinese technology.
Finally, the president claimed that the NDAA restricts his ability to bring American troops home from overseas.
“Numerous provisions of the Act directly contradict my Administration’s foreign policy, particularly my efforts to bring our troops home,” Trump explained. “I oppose endless wars, as does the American public. Over bipartisan objections, however, this Act purports to restrict the President’s ability to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, Germany, and South Korea.”
“Not only is this bad policy, but it is unconstitutional,” the president argued. “Article II of the Constitution makes the President the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States and vests in him the executive power. Therefore, the decision regarding how many troops to deploy and where, including in Afghanistan, Germany, and South Korea, rests with him. The Congress may not arrogate this authority to itself directly or indirectly as purported spending restrictions.”
This seems to be the most serious of Trump’s objections. If the president has rightly characterized these provisions, they may indeed be unconstitutional.

Happy Thursday and (Christmas Eve!), my dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Candy canes are the Peeps of Christmas.
I confused O Come All Ye Faithful and Joy to the World during the VIP Gold Live chat yesterday and I think that 2020 may have finally glitched me. Forget Biden, I may not make it to Inauguration Day in one piece now.
I’m positively oozing holiday cheer, no?
Puppet President-elect Biden has been trotting out his Cabinet nominations and all of them are as potentially nightmarish as one would expect. The old coot actually thinks that Mayor Pete should be put in charge of something, a sentiment with which most of his former South Bend constituents would probably not concur. Grandpa Gropes is really not a guy you want to put in charge of personnel.
I’ve written several times here about my admiration for President Trump’s secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos. She was a Big Education outsider when she arrived to the position and the Left hates her because she hasn’t been a pawn of the teachers’ unions. That will all greatly change in a Biden administration, as Joe is literally in bed with the National Education Association, which is the most evil labor organization in America. DOCTOR Mama Jill Biden is a member of the NEA, which will now be in charge of public education because of her complete control over her mentally debilitated husband’s brain.
A lot of what DeVos has accomplished has been at the collegiate level. Union opposition to her has made it more difficult for her to have an impact on the K-12 kids though. Those kids are getting dumber, sadly. The Democrats and the unions are forever telling us that a lack of money is the problem. There is never enough, according to them.
Kamala Harris recently seemed to accidentally touch on the real problem, which is how the resources are allocated:
No doubt Madame Vice President-elect has a very different reason for the resources being improperly allocated than I do, but she would be wrong.
Biden’s choice to run the Dept. of Education looks like another real winner:
Joe Biden’s choice to head up the Education Department is the Connecticut commissioner of education who played a key role in developing a statewide minority-studies course that analyzes “how race, power, and privilege influence group access to citizenship, civil rights, and economic power.”
Miguel Cardona based the curriculum on “critical race theory,” which claims America is systemically racist. The choice has pleased left-wing education advocacy groups and teachers’ unions.
Once again, the focus is on indoctrination, not education. It’s what public education in America has been all about for decades while in thrall to teachers’ unions. This insanity will have the direction and the blessing of the woman pulling the puppet strings of the man whom everyone will be calling the president of the United States.
The resources will still be improperly allocated by the bureaucracy because that’s what bureaucracies do — it’s a given.
The teachers will still be in it for themselves while masquerading as saints who only care about the children — another given.
And now the focus will be on making sure that the kids become woke progressive automatons. It’s what they’ve been doing for years, but on steroids. They know that if the American children ever get back to learning anything about real history and government they won’t want to vote for the far-left fringe party that the Democrats have become.
Unfortunately, the brainwash fix is in.
Maybe we shouldn’t be so eager to get the kids back in class with these people.
