Only weeks ago, pundits were still pushing for CA Governor Gavin Newsom to run for President in 2028. Those hopes were turned to ash alongside the homes and businesses that were destroyed in the recent (and still ongoing) SoCal wildfires – which is only the latest example of California’s misplaced priorities and lack of competent governance.

In 2016, the WHO predicted millions of cases of Zika in America and sparked global panic when the virus was connected to newborn microcephaly – a birth defect causing smaller head size and impaired brain development. But Dr. Randy Bock says Zika was just another pandemic of panic. The physician alleges that no clinical testing existed when cases were first reported and diagnoses relied on simple questionnaires. When proper testing was later implemented, no significant link between Zika and microcephaly was found – which he says is evidence that institutional interests were the real driving force behind the health scare.

Dr. Randy Bock is a physician and author. A Yale graduate with a B.S. in Chemistry and Physics, he earned his M.D. from the University of Rochester. Dr. Bock authored “Overturning Zika” and has published extensive research on pandemic response and healthcare innovation. Follow him at https://x.com/DrRandallBock

“Except for a few unlikely cases like a raging wildfire or tornado barreling straight for your house, bugging out is a very bad idea,” warns former Navy SEAL Joel Lambert, who says the safest place to secure yourself and your loved ones during a national crisis is the fortress you already know: your own home.

“Why would you ever want to leave your amazing home where you probably have a half full fridge, maybe some cans, a warm bed, a roof over your head, as well as neighbors you know, and terrain you’re familiar with, … only to run OUT THERE to some place you know nothing about and try to forage your daily meals?” explains Lambert, who authored “A Navy SEAL’s Bug-In Guide: How to Turn Your House into the Safest Place on Earth” to help others prepare for the unexpected.

Joel Lambert is a former Navy SEAL, author, and television personality. He starred in Discovery Channel’s ‘Manhunt’ (known as ‘Lone Target’ in the US) and ‘Predators Up Close.’ Lambert authored ‘A Navy SEAL’s Bug In Guide’ (available at https://amzn.to/3PyXa4t) drawing from his military expertise in security, crisis management, and survival tactics. He currently works as a consultant and speaker on security preparedness and resilience. His television work has aired internationally on Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.

“Sneaky f**kers is a zoological term from the 1970s,” Professor Gad Saad explains. “I applied it to explain male social justice warriors.”

Dr. Saad’s ‘Sneaky F**ckers’ theory is based on a zoological mating strategy that found weaker males of certain species would make themselves appear more female in order to avoid challenges from the pack’s alpha. The theory proposes that weaker human males are now employing the same tactics through a form of wokefishing – performative feminism, self-hating racism, and the display of public-facing amulets like cloth masks, pronouns in bios, or aposematic hair coloring – even though their ultimate goal is the same (or worse) than the biologically stronger males that they are trying to avoid.
