Another one of Biden’s voters.

A 26-year-old previously deported illegal immigrant has been charged in the death of a 3-month-old baby, Fox News reported

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) responded to a distress call at a residence on Needham Road, where they found the severely injured baby. Despite immediate medical intervention, the infant succumbed to injuries on April 24.

The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Melvin Jesus Aquino Enriquez, is charged with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury and assault-family violence involving strangulation.

Aquino Enriquez, who had been living with the baby and its mother, was taken into custody. The MCSO Special Victims Unit, working alongside Texas Child Protective Services and other agencies, launched a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the injuries, which later led to the baby’s unfortunate death.

Read the news release:

On April 14, 2024, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services concerning a severely injured 3-month-old child admitted to a local hospital. The Special Victim’s Unit of the Sheriff’s Office, in collaboration with Child Protective Services investigators, promptly initiated a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child’s injuries.

During the course of the investigation, detectives identified Melvin Jesus Aquino Enriquez as a suspect who was residing at a home in the 25000 block of Needham Rd, Porter, TX. Enriquez resides at the home with the infant and the mother of the infant. During the investigation, it was discovered that Enriquez had also committed an act of Assault, Family Violence-Strangulation, at which time he was arrested and placed in the Montgomery County Jail.

On April 17, 2024, Special Victim’s Unit Detectives charged Enriquez with Injury to a Child Causing Serious Bodily Injury. Tragically, the young victim succumbed to the injuries on April 21, 2024. The Special Victim’s Unit is currently awaiting autopsy results to further determine the circumstances leading to the untimely and devastating death of the child. Pending these findings, detectives will proceed with pursuing appropriate additional charges.

Enriquez is currently in the Montgomery County Jail on the two charges with a bond of $750,000. Additionally, Enriquez is being held on an ICE hold due to his immigration status. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office extends its gratitude to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, Texas Child Protective Services, and Children’s Safe Harbor for their critical roles in this sensitive investigation.

Our office, alongside the community, mourns the tragic loss of this young life. We are committed to ensuring justice is served and are determined to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

This is not Aquino Enriquez’s first encounter with the U.S. law enforcement.

An ICE spokesperson told Fox News that he is a “previously removed Mexican national” who had illegally re-entered the United States after being deported.

His history includes an arrest in March 2020 by Harris County (Texas) authorities, after which he was placed in immigration proceedings and subsequently deported to Mexico in September 2020. However, he re-entered the U.S. illegally and was once again detained in April 2024 following the recent assault charges.

The endless misadventures of the Windsor Royal Family continue to fascinate the United Kingdom and the world.

Their life of super privilege and their burden of living the most private pains under the public eye make them quite unique.

(And of course let’s not even get into the multiple allegations of sex crimes and influence peddling targeting Prince Andrew.)

The issue of the moment in the trials and tribulations of the Windsor dynasty is, of course, the rift between King Charles and his estranged son Harry.

I was moved a few weeks ago to summarize the situation in the style of a wicked fairy-tale:

“Once upon a time, there was a British King called Charles who waited decades to ascend to the throne. When he finally did, his younger son, the Duke of Sussex, published a ‘memoir’ airing some of the family’s dirty laundry, and the writer of said book accused the King and the Princess of Wales of being racists towards the Duke’s son. Both the elderly King and the Princess fell ill with Cancer right after this. The End.”

Read: Prince Harry’s Charity in Africa Accused of Widespread Torture and Rape

There have now been confirmation by ‘a close confidante of the royal family’ about the reason why Harry didn’t meet up with King Charles in his recent London visit.

The Duke of Sussex celebrated the 10th anniversary of his charity the Invictus Games.

Harry’s spokesperson said he would not be meeting with his estranged father due to the king’s ‘full schedule.

New York Post reported:

“Now, a friend of the Firm has claimed that Harry ‘forced’ his estranged father to choose between the Duke and his wife, Queen Camilla — ultimately widening the rift even further.

‘Harry has made things very difficult for himself by saying such cruel and hurtful things about Camilla. Charles loves his sons, but he also loves his wife. The last few months have made it very clear how important she is; she has been the one propping up the whole edifice’.

Harry has made it very clear, very publicly, that he despises her,” the insider added. ‘He has forced Charles to choose, which was a very silly thing to do because Camilla and he both chose each other a long time ago’.”

In his train-wreck memoir ‘Spare’, Harry called Camilla ‘dangerous’ and ‘the villain’.

It struck one as a juvenile over-attachment to the image of his late mother Lady Diana Spencer, and part of Harry’s relentless undermining of his newly enthroned father’s reign.

The estranged son also claimed that his stepmother leaked stories about the royal family to the media ‘to maintain her image and boost her popularity’.

So, when it was reported last week that father and son did not happen because Harry ‘made certain demands’, everyone knew what the issue was.

“I think the reason was because Harry made certain demands about who could be in the room and who couldn’t. Although on the surface it looks like a snub, Harry made it very difficult for his father.”

Harry’s memoir probably scarred his relation with his father for life.

“In ‘Spare’, Harry wrote, ‘I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal P.R. altar’.

He said that meeting Camilla — referred to as the ‘other woman’ in his book — was like an ‘injection’, writing, ‘Close your eyes and you won’t even feel it’.”

The ongoing legal saga surrounding former President Donald Trump continues as he faces a New York City jury today.

The case, which has been characterized by the defense as another instance of lawfare propelled by Democrats and the Biden regime, is yet to have a clearly defined criminal act that Mr. Trump is accused of committing.

Today’s courtroom proceedings were highlighted by testimony from Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney and confidant, who has previously served prison time related to other legal actions against Trump.

Cohen told the court that in October 2016, he took out a home equity line of credit to pay $130,000 to Daniels as part of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), to secure a non-disclosure agreement about her alleged affair with Trump in 2006 – an affair Trump has consistently denied. He described this move as critical to preventing what he believed would be catastrophic damage to Trump’s campaign, Fox News reported.

Allen Weisselberg, then-CFO of the Trump Organization, was allegedly consulted about funding the payment, who initially hesitated to provide the funds.

“I ultimately said, ‘OK, I’ll pay it,’” Cohen told the court, claiming that Weisselberg reassured him he would be reimbursed.

Cohen emphasized that his wife was unaware of these financial maneuvers due to her role in managing their household finances. He feared her reaction if such a large sum suddenly disappeared from their joint account.

According to Cohen’s testimony, both he and Weisselberg informed Trump that Cohen would use personal funds for the payment. Trump’s alleged response was “good, good.”

“I was doing everything that I could and more to protect my boss,” Cohen said. He insisted that he would not have made such a payment without Trump’s approval and expected reimbursement.

In his testimony, Cohen also admitted to misleading First Republic Bank about the purpose of the bank account opened to transfer the funds to Daniels. He labeled the account for “management consulting” purposes because he believed the bank wouldn’t approve if they knew its actual intent.

The transaction was completed on Oct. 27, 2016, when Cohen wired the funds to Daniels’ attorney Keith Davidson and misleadingly marked it as a “retainer.”

It can be recalled that a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyers admitting Trump knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ transaction re-emerged this year as the judge set the trial date.

Last year the Daily Mail obtained a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyer stating Cohen used his own personal money to pay Porn Star Stormy Daniels in 2016.

The letter also clarifies that neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign reimbursed Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.

This directly contradicts Cohen’s testimony – not surprising given Michael Cohen is a convicted perjurer.

Daily Mail reported at the time:

Michael Cohen claimed he was not reimbursed by Donald Trump or his organization for hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels in a 2018 letter to federal authorities, contradicting his recent grand jury testimony,

The bombshell document, exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, could throw a wrench in the works of prosecutors pursuing criminal charges against Trump over the payments.

Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and the star witness in the case over which Trump reportedly faces imminent arrest, claims that Trump got him to pay $130,000 to Daniels to keep her quiet about her alleged affair with the real estate mogul, just days before the 2016 presidential election.

The letter appears to be in direct conflict with Cohen’s sworn testimony to Congress given a year later.

Cohen said under oath that Trump ‘asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair,’ and that ‘Mr. Trump directed me to use my own personal funds from a Home Equity Line of Credit to avoid any money being traced back to him that could negatively impact his campaign.’

But in a February 8, 2018 letter to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Cohen’s attorney Stephen Ryan wrote: ‘Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds’, and that ‘Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly.’

As she stood on stage, the crowd’s energy buzzed with anticipation. Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President of the United States, had just dropped a bombshell that left the nation stunned.

But it wasn’t her words that made headlines – it was her fiery delivery and the shocking directive she issued. In this article, we will delve into the controversy surrounding Harris’ speech and explore the potential ramifications of her bold statement.

Kamala Harris just incited violence by saying, “You need to kick that f-cking door down.”

Imagine if a Republican said this.

The event in question took place at a political rally, where Harris, known for her composed demeanor, surprised everyone with her aggressive stance. Without mincing her words, she bellowed, “Kick that f*cking door down!” The crowd erupted into cheers, while the media was left scrambling to interpret the meaning behind Harris’ outburst. Was it a call to action or just a figure of speech?

Some argue that Harris’ choice of words was simply a show of passion and determination, a rallying cry to fight for what is right. Others, however, are deeply concerned about the implications of a high-ranking government official using such explicit language in a public setting. Some fear it could incite violence or lead to a lack of respect for authority.

Critics have also pointed out the potential double standard at play, noting that if a male politician had made similar comments, it would have been met with widespread condemnation. So why is Harris being given a pass? Is it because of her gender or her status as a person of color? Or is it simply a reflection of the current political climate? These are all valid questions that demand attention and introspection.

In response to the backlash, Harris’ team released a statement, clarifying that her words were meant to be taken in a figurative sense. They emphasized that Harris was not advocating for violence, but rather urging people to stand up and fight for justice and equality. However, this explanation did little to appease her critics, who argue that as a public figure, every word she utters holds weight and must be carefully chosen.

One thing is certain – Harris’ speech has reignited the ongoing debate on the role of language in politics and its impact on society. Some believe that politicians should be held to a higher standard and that their words should always be measured and respectful. Others argue that in today’s polarized world, strong and emotive language is necessary to convey passion and urgency.

As the debate rages on, it’s important to keep in mind that the ultimate goal should be to foster healthy and respectful political discourse. It’s crucial for politicians to use their platform wisely and for citizens to engage in constructive dialogue. Perhaps Harris’ speech will serve as a reminder for all of us to be mindful of the words we choose and the impact they can have. In the end, it’s not about silencing voices, but rather using them to bring about positive change.

A Minnesota mom told Alpha News that her 9-year-old daughter was savagely beaten on the playground because “she wasn’t Muslim.”

Shawna Larson said her 3 grader was savagely beaten by four other students at Hidden Valley Elementary on April 29 because of her “race and religion.”

The school principal approached Larson as she went to pick up her daughter from school and informed her about the attack.

“They came up to my vehicle and informed me that there was an incident at school that day. They wanted to make it very apparent that my daughter didn’t do anything to cause this, and they told me this was a calculated incident and that she had been attacked on the playground by four other students in her grade,” Larson told Alpha News’ Liz Collin.

“I ended up learning … this was due to her race and her religion because she wasn’t Muslim. So that was pretty jarring to hear,” the mother said.

According to school officials, the attack on Larson’s daughter was planned.

The child was covered in bruises and had a black eye after the Muslim students beat her.

“She told me she tried to get up and when she tried to get up and go for help the first time, and I believe it was the first time that they had gotten her on the ground, that she was trying to fight back and they had told her that if she hit them or she touched them, that they would hurt themselves and tell the teacher that she had hurt them. So, she just told me, ‘You know, so all I could do there is lay there, Mom,’” Larson said.

Larson said the school hasn’t taken any action against the four students who beat up her Christian daughter.

“My daughter hadn’t done anything to initiate this or create what had happened. This was just because of her race and her religion. So that was a big thing. Just the lack of action the school was taking, which I do understand to a point that the school has their own rules and their own laws that they have to follow. But the fact that because this was race and religion fueled, the fact that they were never suspended or expelled from school or redirected to distance learning instead of continuing to stay in the classroom, which two of them were in the same classroom as my daughter, is alarming, regardless of their age,” Larson said.

The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District remained defiant and told Alpha News that they “can’t share any private data about students, including specifics about student behavior or discipline.”

Hospitals are changing the way they operate — no pun intended — and it’s putting some patients’ health at risk.

It used to be common practice for hospitals and other medical facilities to calculate costs and send bills to patients after they’d completed the important part, i.e. treating the patient.

That’s less true today than it used to be, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Collecting payment in advance is more and more common at medical centers, and while that saves hospitals time and money collecting on bills later, it means that some patients don’t get the care they need when they need it, because they can’t come up with the cash up front.

“Those who can’t come up with the sums have been forced to put off procedures,” the Journal reported Thursday in an article titled “Hospitals Are Refusing to Do Surgeries Unless You Pay In Full First.”

The newspaper also noted that patients are sometimes overcharged, which puts them in the position of having to “fight” a large corporate entity to get a refund of the overpayment.

“Among the procedures that hospitals and surgery centers are seeking prepayments for are knee replacements, CT scans and births,” the Journal reported.

The report also noted that federal law requires hospitals to provide medical treatment in emergency situations. Of course, what a hospital considers an emergency may differ from how the term might be defined by someone experiencing severe pain.

“We need those patients who are able to pay to do so,” Leslie Taylor, a spokeswoman for University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, which owns one general hospital in Arkansas, told the Journal.

That hospital has in the past rescheduled some patients’ procedures until after they pay up, although they say they only do so with the approval of doctors.

Health care consulting company Kodiak Solutions told the Journal that 23 percent of patient bills are now being paid before treatment is provided, up from 20 percent only two years ago.

That may not seem like a huge increase, but considering that about half of American adults say they don’t have more than $500 available to pay for sudden medical issues, according to the Journal, it’s a trend that could cause serious problems for many.

The Journal spotlighted two cases of people affected by pay-in-advance policies, both of which had happy endings.

The first was that of Heather Miconi, whose daughter needed adenoid and tonsil surgery to help her breathe — not an emergency, but obviously important.

Miconi already works three jobs and has a high-deductible insurance policy, so she needed $2,000 to pay for the procedure in advance. She had to start a GoFundMe to raise the funds.

The good news in Miconi’s case is that the fundraiser has already brought in nearly $10,000. Miconi wrote on the site that she’ll use the extra to pay down medical bills that have been accumulating interest since her daughter’s 2021 hospitalization.

“This has lifted a huge burden from our lives and I am forever grateful,” she wrote.

The other example cited by the Journal was that of Blake Young, who needed a heart screening last November. He paid $3,600 in advance, only to find out later that he’d been overcharged by almost 200 percent, and the hospital owed him $2,546.

It took Young over six months to get his money back, and he had to involve the Better Business Bureau to do it.

The hospital, CHI Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee, did eventually offer Young an apology — and, eventually, a check.

The appointment of the new Transition Council has not made any difference on the ground in the chaotic Caribbean nation of Haiti, even if the members seem to have stopped bickering and made a power sharing agreement.

In fact, as the heavily armed rebel gangs launched another attack in the capital Port-au-Prince, and seized control of yet another police station on Saturday (11), calls have arisen by civilians and police officers demanding the dismissal and arrest of Haiti’s police chief.

Armed rebels allegedly attacked the Gressier community, burning cars and attacking homes, leaving a trail of wounded and sending hundreds of people fleeing into the mountains.

Associated Press reported:

“Videos posted on social media showed people fleeing into the early dawn balancing bags and suitcases on their heads as men clad in sandals and carrying heavy weapons celebrated with gunfire. ‘The town is ours’, said one man who filmed himself with others who were armed, noting they were in Gressier. ‘We have no limits’.”

Frantz Elbé, the director of Haiti’s National Police, has become a target for outrage, described as incapable and incompetent.

As Police continue to lose their stations with equipment, many have accused Elbé and other high-ranking officials of being complicit with the gangs.

“The Grand Ravine gang has some 300 members and is accused of killings, kidnappings, rapes and other crimes.

Those fleeing Gressier now join more than 360,000 other Haitians who have been forced to abandon their homes as gangs raze communities in rival territories to control more land. Tens of thousands of Haitians have squeezed into squalid, makeshift shelters, including schools and government buildings abandoned due to gang violence.”

It was on February 29th that gangs launched coordinated attacks unleashing a horrifying season of violence.

Rebel Gunmen have burned police stations, had both the airport and the sea port shuttered and raided Haiti’s two biggest prisons, freeing more than 4,000 inmates.

“Veteran politician André Michel wrote on the social media platform X that the most recent attack targeting Gressier shows ‘Haiti will not be able to get out from under the gangs without an international force. We will not be able to secure the country ourselves’.

A U.N.-backed deployment of Kenyan police officers to Haiti has been repeatedly delayed, although some believe the first officers might arrive in late May.”

In response to the US drug crisis which is claiming 200 American lives daily, the Biden Administration vows to cooperate with the Mexican government. A statement from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) regarding tackling Mexico’s cartels asserts, ‘In close coordination with the Government of Mexico and by leveraging President Biden’s Executive Order, we will continue to take aggressive action and exercise global leadership to strike drug trafficking organizations.’”

Taking down the cartels is crucial, given their involvement not only in narcotrafficking and money laundering but also in the surge of illegal immigration at the southern border, having gained control over the lucrative human trafficking trade. However, collaborating with the Mexican government won’t yield results. The White House statement is far from reality, given the firm grip of the cartels on the Mexican government. With escalating cartel interference in elections, prospects for change appear bleak.

Next month, Mexico will hold its general elections, but the cartels have made this year’s campaign season one of the bloodiest in history. Gisela Gaytan, a mayoral candidate from the small town of Celaya, was killed on the very first day of her campaign. Assassins shot her just after she descended from the podium, after pledging to combat cartel violence for her constituents. Magdalena Rosalez, who is running for Congress representing the same party as Gaytan, was asked by her party to abandon her campaign because of security concerns. The grim reality is that Gaytan’s murder, like most murders in Mexico, will remain unsolved and unpunished.

Democracy in Mexico is severely compromised by the cartels, whose influence has infiltrated the legislation, the judiciary, the military, police, and even the electoral process. In certain regions, the cartels handpick candidates and eliminate opposition through threats, violence, or murder. The situation is so extreme that in some elections, cartel-backed candidates run unopposed.

So far this year, approximately 30 candidates have been assassinated, with hundreds more intimidated into withdrawing from the race. Candidates face danger not only during public appearances but also every minute of every day. Consequently, 400 candidates have petitioned the government for security protection.

The cartels aim to install candidates in office who would align with their interests. Additionally, they seek to influence the selection of police chiefs, mayors, and other local officials. Furthermore, cartels are expanding their revenue sources by seizing control of municipal construction projects, including roads, schools, and hospitals.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, whom Biden is pinning his hopes on, denies assertions of violence even in Chiapas, a city synonymous with cartel rule. This is despite the fact that his own protege, presidential front-runner Claudia Sheinbaum, was recently halted and threatened by cartel  gunmen.

In some parts of the country, cartels control access to towns, deciding who can enter or leave and what they can do while there. And the violence isn’t just limited to cities; even small towns like Maravatío, located in Michoacan with a population of only 80,000, have seen the assassination of three mayoral candidates. Two of the victims were from the same party as President Obrador, yet he denies that the electoral process is being impeded by violence.

In Chiapas, almost two dozen mayoral candidates from the PAN party have withdrawn from their races. According to a party member, while cartels previously influenced elections by buying off voters, they now resort to violence, either by killing candidates or forcing them out through threats.

The northern border, adjacent to the US, has long been notorious for its lawlessness and prevalence of crime and vice. However, the violence and crime are now spreading throughout the entire country. Historically, Mexico’s southern border was loosely guarded and relatively peaceful, but it has transformed into a transit point for Colombian cocaine smuggled through Guatemala. Today, Chiapas is one of the most affected states, where human trafficking, alongside narcotrafficking, has become a major source of income, with cartels aligning themselves with political parties. Numerous cartels operate in the region, including the two largest ones, the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartel (Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación or CJNG). Consequently, murders and disappearances have skyrocketed, with six political candidates among the recent casualties.

Biden is hoping that by partnering with the Mexican government, he can take on the cartels. This makes little sense given that the cartels control the Mexican government.

Melinda French Gates announced her resignation as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, notorious for funding far-left organizations, set to take effect next month. This decision, revealed on Monday via a statement on X, occurs nearly three years after her public divorce from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

In a detailed statement released on X, French Gates described this move as a pivotal step to “protect and advance women’s rights globally,” signaling a renewed focus on gender equality and support for women and families.

As part of her departure, she revealed plans to commit an additional $12.5 billion to these causes, a sum made available through her divorce settlement with Bill Gates in May 2021.

Here is French Gates’ full statement:

After careful thought and reflection, I have decided to resign from my role as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. My last day of work at the foundation will be June 7th.

This is not a decision I came to lightly. I am immensely proud of the foundation that Bill and I built together and of the extraordinary work it is doing to address inequities around the world. I care deeply about the foundation team, our partners around the world, and everyone who is touched by its work.

I am taking this step with full confidence that the foundation is in strong shape, with its extremely capable CEO Mark Suzman, the Executive Leadership Team, and an experienced board of trustees in place to ensure all its important work continues. The time is right for me to move forward into the next chapter of my philanthropy.

This is a critical moment for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world — and those fighting to protect and advance equality are in urgent need of support. Under the terms of my agreement with Bill, in leaving the foundation, I will have an additional $12.5 billion to commit to my work on behalf of women and families. I’ll be sharing more about what that will look like in the near future.

Bill Gates, in a separate statement, expressed his sentiments about the resignation: “I am sorry to see Melinda leave, but I am sure she will have a huge impact in her future philanthropic work.”

It can be recalled that Bill’s decision to continue his friendship with Epstein is one of the main issues that prompted their divorce in May 2021, ending their 27-year marriage, Melinda claimed.

Melinda Gates slammed her ex-husband Bill for continuing his longtime friendship with deceased pedophile Jeffery Epstein despite her warnings to him about having “nightmares” about him.

After Bill repeatedly met with Epstein, Melinda demanded her husband introduce her to the billionaire hedge fund manager in 2011.

“I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffery Epstein. I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffery Epstein exactly one time. I wanted to see who this man was and I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door,” Gates told CBS mornings host Gayle King, in her first interview since divorcing the vaccine touting billionaire philanthropist.

“He was abhorrent, evil personified,” Melinda said. “I had nightmares about it afterward. That’s why my heart breaks for these young women. That’s how I felt, and I am an older woman. He was awful.”

“It was not one thing, it was many things [that led to the divorce]. Any of the questions remaining about what Bill’s relationship with him was…those are for Bill to answer. I made it very clear how I felt about him,” she said.

Speaking from the office of her new company, Pivotal Ventures, in Seattle, Melinda claimed that Bill is a womanizer and had multiple affairs throughout their marriage, including the time he cheated on her with a Microsoft employee.

“Those are questions Bill needs to answer. I believe in forgiveness. I thought we had worked through some of that,” she said. “I gave every single piece of myself to that marriage. I was committed from the day we got engaged to the day I got out of it.”

During the vaccine rollout, all who were skeptical of the vaccine sensed something was awry — despite catching COVID and having natural immunity, as such was the case for previous viruses, the vaccine was STILL relentlessly pushed by media figures, public programs, and the mainstream media. Now, Dr. Peter McCullough has uncovered GROUNDBREAKING information about Doctors’ true intentions behind pushing the COVID “vaccine.” So, how much did it cost to buy off the medical establishment?
