Armoni Howard was a conservative activist from San Jose, California.
He attended several local events and was a friend of conservative
activist Philip Anderson.
In early July, Armoni’s mother Apiffany found him in the bathroom in
the middle of the night. He was slumped over the bathtub not breathing.
She called 911 and started chest compressions. When the ambulance got
there she knew her son was dead.
On Thursday night we spoke with Apiffany Lentini about her son’s
death. She told us she wanted everyone to know about her son and that
the coronavirus vaccine took his life. Armoni was her only child.

According to Apiffany, her son was in good health. He belonged to a
dojo and frequently took his Siberian Husky out for a run. She said he
took the COVID vaccine before his death. At first he told her he was
getting nosebleeds at work. Then she found him dead in the bathroom.
Apiffany said Calgary Chapel was there for her after her loss. She is
a member there. in fact, the only news of his death was posted by the
Calgary community.
Saturday night, after a 26-year old member of their congregation — Armoni Howard — sadly died from a Covid shot, I sat on a panel with a group of people at the bravely led Calvary Chapel in San Jose who were explaining the legality of saying no to vaccine mandates.
My role on the panel was to communicate “SAY NO TO THE UNSAFE, INEFFECTIVE, AND EXPERIMENTAL COVID SHOT AND SAYNO TO THE UNSAFE, INEFFECTIVE, AND EXPERIMENTAL FACE MASK
Apiffany said the Calgary community went above and beyond what she
ever expected. Assistant pastor Neil of the Values Advocacy Council sat
in on the call tonight with Apiffany.
She hopes that her story about her son Armoni will prevent more
deaths and save families from the suffering she is going through.
Nearly 1,800 Americans directly affected by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks are opposing President Joe Biden’s participation in any memorial events this year unless he upholds his pledge to declassify U.S. government evidence that they believe may show a link between Saudi Arabian leaders and the attacks.
The victims’ family members, first responders and survivors will release a statement Friday calling on Biden to skip 20th-anniversary events in New York and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon unless he releases the documents, which they believe implicate Saudi officials in supporting the acts of terrorism. The group says that as a candidate Biden pledged to be more transparent and release as much information as possible but that his administration has since then ignored their letters and requests.
“We cannot in good faith, and with veneration to those lost, sick, and injured, welcome the president to our hallowed grounds until he fulfills his commitment,” they wrote in a statement obtained by NBC News.
“Since the conclusion of the 9/11 Commission in 2004 much investigative evidence has been uncovered implicating Saudi government officials in supporting the attacks,” the statement says. “Through multiple administrations, the Department of Justice and the FBI have actively sought to keep this information secret and prevent the American people from learning the full truth about the 9/11 attacks.”
Among the documents the group seeks are supporting evidence found during a widespread FBI investigation into the attacks that examined alleged Saudi links and was completed in 2016.
Brett Eagleson, whose father, Bruce, died at the World Trade Center, said he and his cosigners “collectively are at our wits’ end with our own government.”
“We are frustrated, tired and saddened with the fact that the U.S. government for 20 years has chosen to keep information about the death of our loved ones behind lock and key,” said Eagleson, who is among a group of victims’ relatives who filed a federal lawsuit accusing Saudi Arabia of being complicit in the attacks.
While the 9/11 Commission report found that Saudi Arabia had been a “problematic ally,” particularly when it came to sharing intelligence, the investigation found no evidence implicating Saudi leaders in the attack.
“The Commission staff found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or as individual senior officials knowingly support or supported al Qaeda; however, a lack of awareness of the problem and a failure to conduct oversight over institutions created an environment in which such activity has flourished,” the report said.
It did, however, identify Saudi nationals as a major source of funding for Al Qaeda. The Saudi government has denied any connection to the attacks.
Eagleson said he is convinced that senior leaders in the Saudi government knew about the planned attack and did nothing to stop it.
Among the evidence he cites is the 2017 sworn testimony of former FBI Special Agent Stephen Moore, who was in charge of the Los Angeles Task Force Team for PENTTBOM, the FBI’s investigation of the 9/11 attacks.
“Based on evidence we gathered during the course of our investigation, I concluded that diplomatic and intelligence personnel of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia knowingly provided material support to the two 9/11 hijackers and facilitated the 9/11 plot. My colleagues in our investigation shared that conclusion,” Moore said in his affidavit.

The administrations of George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump also declined to declassify supporting documents, citing national security concerns. The Trump administration invoked the state secrets privilege in 2019 to justify keeping documents classified.
“Twenty years later, there is simply no reason — unmerited claims of ‘national security’ or otherwise — to keep this information secret,” the group wrote. “But if President Biden reneges on his commitment and sides with the Saudi government, we would be compelled to publicly stand in objection to any participation by his administration in any memorial ceremony of 9/11.”
Eagleson said in an interview, “The buck stops at the president.”
He and his fellow 9/11 community members have been “ignored” by the attorney general, the FBI director and other senior officials in the administration, he said.
Biden “really needs to be the one to step up and take action,” Eagleson said, adding that the families hope for a day when the president is “working with us and not against us.”
Eagleson said his group was optimistic after a letter from candidate Biden in October pledging transparency about the matter.
“I intend to be a President for all Americans, and will hear all of their voices,” Biden wrote. “The 9/11 Families are right to seek full truth and accountability. ... I will direct my Attorney General to personally examine the merits of all cases where the invocation of privilege is recommended, and to err on the side of disclosure in cases where, as here, the events in question occurred two decades or longer ago.”
But most letters and attempts to reach the administration since Biden was inaugurated have gone unanswered, and now, Eagleson said, patience has run out.
“We had great hope that President Biden, who campaigned on bringing truth and trust back to the Oval Office, would value the lives and sacrifices of America’s citizens over diplomatic relations with a country accused of mass murder,” Eagleson said.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Eagleson said he believes the U.S. government will not release the documents because of deep diplomatic and military ties between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
“Twenty years is way too long for anybody, especially thousands of American families, to learn the truth about what happened to their loved ones,” he said, saying it was “cruel and unusual that the government would keep us waiting this long.”
Eagleson argued that the community of 9/11 family members, survivors and first responders did everything the government asked of it after the attacks. “Now, 20 years later, when we need them, they are rubbing salt in an open wound and not giving us the documents,” he said.
“It should not take this much fighting,” he said. “The president of the United States should be standing next to us.”
Moderna said Thursday that people will likely need a COVID-19 vaccine
booster dose to protect against future mutations of the coronavirus,
touting the “robust” antibody response generated by the additional shot.
Vaccine developers at Moderna “are looking forward
towards our vision of a single dose annual booster that provides
protection against COVID-19, flu and [respiratory syncytial virus] for
adults. … We believe this is just the beginning,” CEO Stephane Bancel
said.
The company has conducted studies to determine the benefits of
administering a third “booster” shot of its two-dose vaccine to protect
against the highly contagious delta variant that accounts for a majority
of COVID-19 cases, as well as any future strains of the virus that
develop.
Moderna’s Phase 2 trial of a 50-microgram booster dose generated a
strong immune response against the delta, gamma, and beta variants — all
of which seem to spread more easily and quickly than other variants,
which could lead to more COVID-19 outbreaks. The third dose produced an
antibody response nearly as strong as the response generated in
previously unvaccinated people who received the first two doses of the
vaccine.

In an unexplainable and abhorrent headline, the NY Times actually referred to Osama Bin Laden, one of the most notorious terrorists and the man responsible for 2,977 Americans dying on 9/11, as a “devoted family man.”
Yes, in case you were wondering, their slogan still reads “All the news that’s fit to print.”
The article, written by Louise Richardson, was a review of Peter Bergen’s book “The Rise and Fall of Usama bin Laden.” Richardson seems to admire the “man” behind countless terror attacks, and calls the book a “page-turner that weaves back and forth between the man and the terrorist.”
She writes: “Two of bin Laden’s attributes that shine through in Bergen’s account are his extraordinary self-belief and the ways in which he modeled his life on that of the Prophet Muhammad. Rather than try to explain where bin Laden’s self-confidence came from, Bergen simply describes it. It is all the more fascinating as a result”
She compares bin Laden to other “revolutionaries” and cites his inability to “articulate a positive vision” as to why the rest of the world could not get on board with the dictatorship that he was using terrorism to create.
Her disdain for America is also apparent, but hey she wouldn’t be a writer for the New York Times if it wasn’t.
“In all of his speeches and papers, bin Laden, like most revolutionaries, never articulated a positive vision of the new world he wished to create. The American counterrevolutionaries, for their part, invariably stretched the emergency powers they were accorded”
Robert J O’Neill, the former Navy Seal who killed bin Laden, ridiculed the outlet over their coverage of the former Al-Qaeda leader.
“Family man. He used his wife as a human shield,” O’Neill reacted, adding, “Lucky for me he was taller than her.”
After O’Neill and others spoke out, the Times retitled its book review, which now reads “A Fuller Picture of Osama bin Laden’s Life.”
The New York Times is an anti-American joke. Where were they located on 9-11?
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday admitted the Biden
Administration is dumping thousands of Covid-positive illegal aliens
into McAllen, Texas.
As reported on Wednesday, the city of McAllen, Texas constructed
emergency shelters for illegal aliens released by Border Patrol agents.
The city of McAllen told Fox News that the federal government is
releasing “an alarming number of immigrants into McAllen, and that the
feds aren’t testing them for COVID.”
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Psaki about the thousands of illegals pouring over the border in McAllen, Texas.
Psaki admitted her boss is releasing Covid-positive illegals into McAllen.
But don’t worry because Psaki said the illegals are required to wear masks.
"The View" failed to disclose the conflict of interest that exists with co-host Whoopi Goldberg as she led the discussion about the scandals plaguing Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The
ABC daytime program kicked off its "hot topics" on Wednesday with the
stunning report released by New York Attorney General Letitia James,
which outlined damning sexual harassment allegations against the
governor.
However,
there was no acknowledgment by Goldberg nor from anyone on "The View"
that she was one of Cuomo's celebrity fundraisers.
The New York Post reported
back in November that Goldberg, along with Ben Stiller and Rosie Perez,
were headlining a December virtual reelection fundraiser to commemorate
Cuomo's 63rd birthday.
A
more exclusive "host" reception reportedly welcomed donors who
contributed at least $10,000 while the larger reception gave six tickets
to anyone who donated $5,000 or three tickets to those who donated
$2,500. Donors who gave $1,000 received one ticket while "young
professionals and 'activists'" were able to attend with a mere $50
donation.
Goldberg's fundraising efforts for the governor date back to 2013, as the Post reported, when she emceed a $1,500-a-plate dinner for Cuomo at the Waldorf Astoria.
ABC News did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
(The View/AP)
This isn't the first time that "The View" failed to mention
Goldberg's close ties to Cuomo. Back in March, Goldberg led two
separate discussions of the latest developments in the harassment
scandal, including the claims of a third accuser and the governor's
press conference in which he expressed regret over his conduct, but
refused to resign.
On
Wednesday, co-host Meghan McCain called out CNN and its anchor Chris
Cuomo for staying silent on the subject during "Cuomo Prime Time."
"You
want to talk about nepotism? Not having to talk about the biggest
scandal in the country when it has to do with your brother and you’re
hosting CNN, that’s nepotism. The Cuomo family and CNN are the worst
kinds of nepotism that the media has an example of," McCain said. "If it
were my brother and he had been accused of this, you'd be damn straight
I would be talking about it on 'The View' this morning, and that makes
all of them cowards."
"I hope Governor Cuomo is either forced out
of office or resigns, and I hope that his brother Chris Cuomo has any
kind of retribution whatsoever for his show … We wonder why people hate
the media and hate journalism," she added.

Dr. Fauci fears a variant worse than Delta is on the horizon because of unvaccinated Americans.
Fauci told McClatchy on Wednesday that the country could be “in
trouble” going into the fall season unless more Americans get vaccinated
for Covid.
A new variant may challenge the effectiveness of the Covid vaccine, according to Fauci.
“What we’re seeing, because of this increase in transmissibility, and
because we have about 93 million people in this country who are
eligible to get vaccinated who don’t get vaccinated — that you have a
significant pool of vulnerable people,” Fauci told McClatchy’s DC
bureau.
Coronavirus cases driven by the delta variant are rising in a “very
steep fashion” across the United States and may double in the coming
weeks to 200,000 cases a day, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday.
Despite the extraordinary contagiousness of the delta variant, it can still get worse, Fauci said.
He fears the virus is being given “ample” opportunity to morph even
further into a deadlier strain that could diminish the effectiveness of
vaccines. Continued spread provides the virus more opportunities to
mutate, he said.
“If we don’t crush the outbreak to the point of getting the
overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated, then what will
happen is the virus will continue to smolder through the fall into the
winter, giving it ample chance to get a variant which, quite frankly,
we’re very lucky that the vaccines that we have now do very well against
the variants — particularly against severe illness,” Fauci said. “We’re
very fortunate that that’s the case. There could be a variant that’s
lingering out there that can push aside delta.
“If another one comes along that has an equally high capability of
transmitting but also is much more severe, then we could really be in
trouble,” he said. “People who are not getting vaccinated mistakenly
think it’s only about them. But it isn’t. It’s about everybody else,
also.”

South
Korea's Disease Control and Prevention Agency said Tuesday that it had
recorded at least two cases of the new coronavirus delta plus variant,
which some experts believe to be more transmissible than the original
delta variant that was first detected in India and has since thwarted
plans for returning to life before the pandemic.
But what exactly
do we know about "delta plus," yet another new variant causing alarm
among governments and health officials? First identified in Europe in
March, the variant is also known as B. 1.617.2.1 or AY.1.
It has been detected in several countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States and India.
Last
month, experts in India labeled the variant one of concern and warned
that it appeared to be more transmissible than most. Citing studies, the
country's health ministry said that the variant has the ability to bind
more easily to lung cells and could be resistant to therapies used to
treat the infection.
Union science and technology minister
Jitendra Singh announced last Friday that up to 70 cases of the
delta-plus variant were detected in genome sequencing as of July 23,
Hindustan Times reported.
How India has weathered the devastation
of the delta variant and how it has named the delta-plus variant as one
of concern should place public health leaders on notice, said James
Hildreth, president and chief executive of Meharry Medical College.
"We've
got to be more willing to consider observations made in other countries
dealing with [the coronavirus]," he said, noting that the relative of
the highly contagious delta variant is concerning. "Again, we saw what
happen with delta in India and how quickly it spread . . . Why would we
think the delta-plus variant would be different?"
The Indian
SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium have since said that the delta-plus
variant is unlikely to be more transmissible than the delta variant and
trends have yet to emerge, according to Hindustan Times.
The
variant was has listed as one of concern by the international health
agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it will
continue to evaluate its independent classification.
However,
Melita Vujnovic, World Health Organization representative to Russia,
said last month that face coverings and vaccinations will be needed to
fight the latest variant.
Last month, German Chancellor Angela
Merkel warned that Europe was still "on thin ice" and expressed caution
that authorities across the continent should remain "cautiously
optimistic."
"We must remain watchful, new variants in particular,
notably the delta variant, mean we must be cautious," she said during
her last government statement.
In the United Kingdom, where more
than 72% of adults have been fully vaccinated, the delta variant has
been accounting for nearly all new infections even though coronavirus
cases overall are on the decline.
At least 39 confirmed cases of
the delta-plus variant have been found in the country along with six
probable ones, according to a July briefing from Public Health England.
The
virus hasn't appeared to have gained intense traction on British soil,
said Colin Angus, a public health policy modeler and analyst in England.
The
"plus" of the variant's name refers to its K417N spike protein
mutation, which was also found in some substrains of the alpha variant -
the dominant strain in the country before the delta variant - but the
substrains never got a foothold, he explained.
"To date, there is
no clear evidence that it conveys enough of a benefit to the virus to
allow it to dominate the original delta variant," he said. "So although
it is clearly here, there is no obvious sign that it has gained a
foothold over existing variants of the virus."
Angus also noted
that delta-plus cases have primarily been in younger people but that
preliminary data has shown that antibodies from vaccinated people are
still effective against the variant.
"This was in a very small
sample," he said of the data. "We need more evidence to get a clear
picture about any possible advantage against vaccines that delta plus
may have, but the fact that we haven't seen it clearly outcompete delta
despite having been found in several countries with high vaccination
rates, suggests that any advantage can only be very small."
Richard
Novak, Head of the Division of Infectious Diseases at University of
Illinois Health, said it's too soon to say how the delta-plus variant
could evade vaccines or whether it's more infectious than the original.
He
noted that the variant is alarming, as it's related to the more
contagious delta variant and coming at a time when breakthrough cases
are popping up among the vaccinated.
"This is just a process of
natural selection and selecting viruses that are more contagious. All
viruses want to do is reproduce themselves. The ones that do become the
dominant virus," he said. "We're going to see other variants. It's on a
continuum. The variants are likely to get more efficient as time goes
on."
The variant and the others that the Centers for Disease
Control is monitoring, greatly underscores the need for ramped-up
vaccination efforts, Hildreth said, pointing out the large swaths of the
population who are still unvaccinated and minority communities with
underlying health conditions that make them more susceptible to
variants.
"The virus is not going to wait around for us to get our
act together," he said. "We're in danger of something that's going to
set us back."
Biden blames Texas, Fla. for COVID ‘surge’ after flooding U.S. with over 100k untested, unquarantined illegal aliens

UPDATED 8:00 PM PT – Tuesday, August 3, 2021
The White House has targeted Republican officials for the rise in
coronavirus cases. Speaking from the White House on Tuesday, Joe Biden
specifically blamed Texas and Florida.
He went on to say, “just two states, Florida and Texas, account for one third of all new COVID-19 cases in the entire country.”
Biden went on to denounce the “bad” policy of governors who have made
mask wearing and vaccinations optional. He ordered them to “get out of
the way.”
“I say to these governors, please help,” he stated. “If you’re not
going to help at least get out of the way of people who are trying to do
the right thing.”
Critics were quick to refute Biden’s claims by calling them ill
informed and politically motivated. Many have cited the fact that more
than 100,000 illegal aliens arrived in Texas last month alone. Many of
whom tested positive for COVID or were experiencing viral symptoms.
On Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who may have earned a
target on his back amid rumors of his potential 2024 presidential bid,
warned Biden mandate interventions have “failed time and time again
throughout this pandemic.”
DeSantis went on to correct the record by pointing out hospital
admissions in his state were slowing down and COVID mortality has
continued to decline.
Alex Berenson had his book censored by Twitter but then after
individuals like Elon Musk complained Amazon went ahead and published
it.
Alex Berenson is a former New York Times reporter, science writer,
and the author of the book titled, “Unreported Truths about COVID-19 and
Lockdowns.” According to hundreds of his tweets, Berenson is also an
advocate for vaccines. However, Berenson also claimed that the role of
facts, reporting, journalistic integrity, and public trust throughout
the pandemic is slowly eroding away.
At first Berenson’s efforts to publish his book were stopped by Amazon. This led Elon Musk to respond in a tweet:
Now more recently Berenson released another tweet about the results of
tests of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine. This tweet was at first
censored but then surprisingly was uncensored by Twitter:
Berenson’s tweet held these two attachments. The Pfizer vaccine
“does nothing to stop the overall risk of death” and 15 patients who
received the vaccine died while 14 who received the placebo died.
Berenson notes that the Twitter warning that was originally placed on his tweet (below) had been removed.
Big Tech and Big Pharma are doing all they can to prevent
the truth from reaching the public. However, the truth cannot be
broken.
Reports have circulated since the July 4 weekend of a case cluster in
Provincetown, at the tip of the Cape Cod peninsula in Massachusetts; no
deaths, a handful of hospitalizations

A federal investigation into a COVID-19 outbreak earlier this
month in a Massachusetts county that’s home to Cape Cod found that 74%
of the 469 infections were among vaccinated people, a finding that
raises questions about the prevalence of breakthrough infections.
The research,
published Friday afternoon by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, is the latest sign that people who are fully vaccinated may
need to return to mask wearing, social distancing and other mitigation
measures as the more infectious delta variant tears through the U.S.
Earlier this week, the CDC shifted its stance and began calling for people, even those who are vaccinated, to again wear masks in public indoor settings in areas of the country with “high” or “substantial” levels of community transmission.
The
public health agency also recommended that all K-12 students and
educators wear masks indoors. At the time, little data was provided to
the public to back up its position.
However, it seems that the
CDC is increasingly worried about the virus’s ability to move with
travelers and throughout crowded gatherings, even in lower-risk areas of
the U.S.
“Findings from this investigation suggest that even
jurisdictions without substantial or high COVID-19 transmission might
consider expanding prevention strategies, including masking in indoor
public settings regardless of vaccination status, given the potential
risk of infection during attendance at large public gatherings that
include travelers from many areas with differing levels of
transmission,” the authors wrote.
The CDC described several large public
gatherings that brought people from around the U.S. to Barnstable County
in Massachusetts from July 3 to 17. People began testing positive for
COVID-19 around July 6, and many cited attendance at crowded indoor and
outdoor bars, restaurants and homes, notably in Provincetown, at the
farthest reach of the Cape Cod peninsula.
Here’s what we know about the breakthrough infections:
• 274, or 79%, of the fully vaccinated people who tested positive for the virus were symptomatic.
•
Out of the 133 specimens that were sequenced in this outbreak, 119, or
89%, were from the delta variant, and one sample had the delta AY.3
sublineage.
• Four of the five people who were hospitalized in this outbreak were vaccinated. No one died.
• 301, or 87%, of the people who had been vaccinated and tested positive were men; their median age was 42.
• Of the people who reported breakthrough infections, 159, or 46%, had gotten the BioNTech SE
BNTX,
+5.04%
–Pfizer Inc.
PFE,
+0.05%
vaccine; 131, or 38%, had received the Moderna Inc.
MRNA,
+2.30%
shot; and 56, or 16%, had been administered the Johnson & Johnson
JNJ,
+0.01%
vaccine.
Earlier this week, the CDC director, Dr.
Rochelle Walensky, also said that new data had revealed that people who
are vaccinated and test positive for the virus can carry the same viral
load as people who are unvaccinated and test positive for the virus.
This research found that cycle threshold (Ct) values in samples from 127
fully vaccinated people and 84 unvaccinated people were similar.
“High
viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised
concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected
with Delta can transmit the virus,” Walensky said in a separate
statement on Friday. “This finding is concerning and was a pivotal
discovery leading to CDC’s updated mask recommendation.”
There is little available data so far about breakthrough infections, which are still considered to be rare among the 49.5% Americans who have been fully vaccinated. In instances when they do occur, hospitalization or death is even more rare.
Back in May, the CDC said that there had been fewer than 10,000 breakthrough cases among the 95 million or so Americans who were fully vaccinated at that time.
However,
there is data emerging that points to higher rates of breakthrough
infections than previously thought, although these types of cases are
still considered rare.
Los Angeles County has found that in June one-fifth of all new cases
were breakthrough infections among the vaccinated, and a study
published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine discovered a
breakthrough infection rate of 2.6% among about 11,000 vaccinated health care workers at Sheba Medical Center, which is located near Tel Aviv.
