It was after this that MPD used tear gas to disperse the "peaceful" protesters.

...but that was before he denied that there was NIH funding for it.
In this clip Fauci might be telling the truth — technically — but I doubt it. Listen to how carefully he makes his distinctions. Did NIH provide funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for Gain of Function research? No. If NIH provided funding for Gain of Function research, it was in North Carolina. After his emphatic "No," Fauci denies neither that the Wuhan lab received funding, nor that Gain of Function research received funding.

One of the highlights from the weekly news roundup in Clarice's Pieces:
Did Fauci fund the Wuhan lab’s work to make the naturally occurring virus in bats more infectious through a contractor after such work was banned in the U.S.? He’s denied it, but in 2012 he defended gain-of-function research (making diseases more infectious to humans), saying it was worth the pandemic risk. The U.S. banned gain-of-function research in 2014. In October 2014, the federal government declared a moratorium on gain-of-function research to weaponize viruses related to influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). In 2015 NIH funded a $3.7 million project at Wuhan approved by Dr. Fauci in 2015, after the Obama White House imposed a ban on 'monster-germ' research. NIH lifted that ban in 2017. As my online friend Jeffrey S. Malashock explains:
So he was for it, before he was against it, right before he was for it again but surreptitiously funneling the money through a contractor, a practice that is engaged in every day to a degree that it's a routine way in federal Contracting for a decision maker in any agencies bureaucracy to bypass prohibitions, or just to keep something out of the public eye or out of the eye of congress.
Rand Paul is a hero for having the brains and guts to expose this song and dance by a master information manipulator who is finally being unmasked. But Fauci remains in place, the highest-paid civil servant in the country. Why?
Fauci will never be held accountable. Global dark money is on his side, just as it was on Hillary's side when discovery of her private email server aimed a spotlight on the decision not to prosecute her unquestionable mishandling classified information. On that occasion we all saw the American system of justice trashed for the sake of politics, and from there things could only get worse.
They have. We will all now ignore that the "gain of function" research that Fauci' supported has ended up in a biological attack originating in China. That he then used his influence to discourage acceptance and availability of mitigating treatments, such as those using hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, has assured drug companies and their investors of huge profits from coronavirus vaccines. At taxpayer expense, of course. In the meantime millions have died.
If there is anything that might be worse than that, it is that the pandemic was the weapon that justified wholesale, unconstitutional election law changes, which enabled massive fraud in key battleground counties. America may have seen its last honest national election. If the Pelosi controlled House of Representatives has its way, the election fraud so rampant and obvious in 2020 will be enshrined in law and will plague every presidential election going forward. And America, too, will die.

Big lies about the origins of Covid-19, like other big lies from the Left, require a whole network of cooperative liars, from government figures to media jacks to bogus fact checkers to digital censors. Here's how the dirty rotten scoundrels collaborate in the art of fabrication. pic.twitter.com/j9zCDE8Rtw

Remember, they've had decades of practice lying about Global Warming. I mean Climate Change.

Comforting news for 600,000 dead Americans and millions more victims worldwide. The fact that these savages and their media enablers initially tried to pass off this man-made catastrophe as an accident at a “wet market” is beyond the pale. #Fauci https://t.co/yVKkeRb3xz

Tickers are available for game one of the playoff series between the Boston Bruins and the New York Islanders.
The Bruins and Islanders will play each other in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the third time and first since 1983, when New York won the best-of-7 Wales Conference Final in six games on the way to winning the last of four straight Stanley Cup championships.
Boston is in the second round for the fourth straight season; New York is in the second round for the third straight season.
"I think they have a lot of our attributes," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said Thursday. "They want to be structured. They want to play with discipline. They have good goaltending. Their [defensemen] play, they certainly get involved, but they want to play D first. They've got different lines that can hurt you. So in that regard, we're playing ourselves a little bit."
The Islanders won the first five of the eight regular-season games between the teams in the MassMutual East Division before the Bruins won the last three. The three Bruins victories came after they acquired left wing Taylor Hall from the Buffalo Sabres in a trade April 12 to strengthen their forward depth behind their vaunted top line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak.
When the Bruins faced the Islanders in '83, I was a die-hard Whalers fan. In those days the Whalers were still what you would call an expansion team, but that changed in May of '83 when Emile Francis joined the team as president and general manager. In July Francis hired Jack Evans as his head coach and Whaler fortunes began to rise.
May 2, 1983 -- After building winning teams in New York and St. Louis, Emile Francis joins the Whalers as president and general manager.
May 1983 -- Pleau named assistant GM.
July 7, 1983 -- Jack Evans hired as coach.
March 24-April 1, 1984 -- Whalers earn seven points in their final six games, and finish the season as the most improved team in the NHL. They total 66 points, 21 more than the previous season and tie or break 57 team records.
February 1985 -- Ron Francis becomes the first Whaler to play in two NHL All-Star Games.
Feb. 22, 1985 -- Whalers acquire Mike Liut and Jorgen Pettersson from St. Louis for veterans Greg Millen and former team captain Mark Johnson. Francis is named team captain.
March 10-29, 1985 -- Whalers go on nine-game unbeaten streak, including team-record seven consecutive victories.
Feb. 4, 1986 -- Whalers host the 38th NHL All-Star Game before a sellout crowd of 15,126. Bryan Trottier scores the winner in overtime to give the Wales Conference a 4-3 victory over the Campbell Conference. Sylvain Turgeon records an assist.
April 12, 1986 -- Whalers complete a three-game playoff sweep of regular season Adams Division champ Quebec with a 9-4 victory at the Civic Center. John Anderson leads the Whalers with six points.
April 29, 1986 -- Montreal's Claude Lemieux scores at 5:55 of overtime to give the Canadiens a 2-1 victory over the Whalers in the seventh game of the Adams Division championship series.
June1986 -- Emile Francis is named NHL executive of the year by the Sporting News and the Hockey News.
Dec. 26, 1986 -- Doug Jarvis supplants Garry Unger as the NHL's Ironman by participating in his 915th consecutive NHL game, a 1-1 tie with Montreal.
That was probably the high point in Whaler history. A series of bad trades decimated the team. The Whalers left Hartford after the '97 season to become the Carolina Hurricanes. It was difficult for a Connecticut native to go back to being a Bruins fan after that, but it was impossible to be a Hurricanes fan. Too much bitterness. After I moved to New Hampshire, the Bruins were the only possible hockey team to root for, and eventually Boston won my allegiance. The drafting of Patrice Bergeron had a lot to do with it.
Yet there was a time I found myself pulling for the Hurricanes over the Bruins. It was a game that featured the old uniforms from the past. Seems the only throwback uniforms the 'Canes could wear were — you guessed it — Hartford Whaler jerseys. The Whalers won that day.
Today we are firmly in the Bruins' corner against the Islanders. It promises to be a tough series. I make no prediction.
