• Tiktoker claims a naked man came up to his 2-year-old kid and exposed himself. He called the cops who said it’s not a crime. This happened in Oregon. Wtf?
• MUST WATCH: Here’s 20 straight minutes of Democrats claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation.” (video)

• @wideawake_media

• Self-appointed globalist technocrat, Bill Gates: "6% of global emissions are cows... You can either fix the cows to stop them doing that, or you can make beef without the cow." Does anybody remember electing Bill Gates to dictate global energy, food and "health" policy? Because I certainly don't. And yet, that's exactly what he's doing. (video)
• "They're frightened at this point... People no longer believe in [man-made climate change], and I think they're catching on to the fact that it's a gigantic lie." According to German MEP Christine Anderson, EU technocrats are in panic mode, as millions awaken to the "man-made climate change" scam. (video) 
• An incredibly powerful compilation of the barefaced lies and contradictions propagated by Anthony Fauci since the start of the "pandemic". (video)

• @VigilantFox 

• Joe Rogan Loses It After Learning 37 Politicians Were Murdered in Mexico’s Last Election. “We live next to a f*cking crack house that’s on fire.” He asks, “How far away” is America from “seeing another JFK-type situation?” (video)

• @WallStreetApes 

• Something About The 2024 Election Doesn’t Seem Right. “Am I the only one who's genuinely nervous about this election? I'm currently on a road trip from Houston to Palm Springs, California, and I'm most of the way back to Houston now. I have stopped and stayed the night in almost every single major city along the way because I'm pulling a trailer and I can't go very fast. I have not seen a single Biden Harris bumper sticker, Biden Harris flag sign. Not even in California. And I actually went over past Palm Springs a little bit towards LA. Not a single one. I've seen a whole hell of a lot of Donald Trump, though, but you know what I also don't see? I also don't see any Biden Harris campaigning, like, at all. Like, not even a little bit. So they're not even campaigning. I don't see a single sign anywhere, yet they're also not acting nervous. They know something we don't know and that makes me nervous.” (video)

• Insane! Corroborated Sources Confirm the US Government is giving the Taliban $40-87 Million Dollars a Week “We’re now giving the Taliban $40-87 Million Dollars a Week… We spent 20+ years fighting the Talibans (Al-Qaeda)… and at the drop of a hat, $40 million a week! Everything is a f*cking lie…” $40-87 million dollars a week equates to $2 to $4.5 billion dollars a year… (video)
  

• @WarClandestine

• Does anyone else find it weird how defensive the Democrats are of Fauci? Not a single Democrat asked Fauci a hard-hitting question, despite him completely flip-flopping on masks, social distancing, lockdowns, and the lab-leak theory. Shouldn’t they be mad at him? Shouldn’t they be upset that everything he told them about Covid was a lie? Shouldn’t they be upset that masks and social distancing were made up? Nope. They still defend him and believe him unconditionally. Because this is not about “science”. It’s political warfare. Fauci is a Deep State operative, and the Dems have been instructed to defend him at all costs.

• @DrAseemMalhotra
  

• ‘Pfizer pushed for mandates AFTER they knew the mRNA vaccine was causing serious harm. Everybody needs to understand that the people in control are psychopathic in nature when it comes to business interests’. DO NOT COMPLY. (video)
  

• @ImMeme0

• A retired Air Force officer who committed no violence was sentenced to 24 months in prison for Jan6. If this doesn’t wake you up I don’t know what will!! We are losing our constitutional rights! (video)

• @CollinRugg

• David Sacks explains exactly how Dr. Anthony Fauci orchestrated the pandemic and knowingly lied to the American public to protect his own a**. If there is one thing you watch today, this is it. During the @theallinpod, Sacks explains how Fauci purposely misled the American public to protect himself. "They knew right away that [Cov*d] came from a lab leak and Fauci and Collins said in emails that they were gonna begin a brutal takedown in order to conceal this fundamental truth of the lab leak from the public." "Now, why would Fauci need to conceal this? Because he had funded gain of function research programs... to conduct gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology." (video)

OpenVAERS:

• VAERS US COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports. 1,010,545 Reports(+992 from prior report) Through April 26th, 2024.

SKirsch.com:

• Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.

BOTTOM LINE: Asian indices are mostly higher, boosted by technology and industrial shares in the region. I expect US stocks to open modestly higher and to weaken into the afternoon, finishing mixed.  The Portfolio is 100% net long heading into the day.
