Naomi Wolf suspended from Twitter after anti-vax tweets and claims Anthony Fauci was 'Satan'
The self-styled "COVID truther" claims jabs are a "software platform that can receive uploads" and lockdowns are anti-democratic.

The ‘two societies’: 97% of new COVID cases are among people who haven’t gotten the shots
What they discovered is that of the 15,397 positive cases, 14,895 were in people who hadn’t been fully vaccinated. That’s 96.7% of all local cases in April and May — a period in which King County passed the 50% vaccinated threshold, meaning half the population had been inoculated and half had not.
“It’s a very clear result,” Duchin said. “It leads to a basic conclusion: Who’s left to catch COVID-19? People who are unvaccinated.”

But not paper with any "bamboo" in it, right?
Trump calls on US to stop using computers: The solution to cyberattacks is to 'go back' to 'paper'
"I don't know how the hell they get paid, by the way, Stuart," he commented. "You're going to have to explain that to me."
"They get paid through Bitcoin," Varney laughed.
"That's another beauty," Trump complained. "The currency of this world should be the dollar. And I don't think we should have all of the Bitcoins of the world out there. I think they should regulate them very, very high."

Right-wing 'Boogaloo' militants plotted violence against cops so Trump would invoke Insurrection Act: Court docs
Alleged shooter Steven Carrillo was part of the "Grizzly Scouts" militia associated with the "Boogaloo" movement that conducted firearms training and conducted surveillance on protests as part of their preparations for an attack on police while posing as Antifa, or anti-fascist, demonstrators, reported the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
"It's the tactically sound option," Robert Jesus Blancas told other militia members, according to court filings. "[Police and Antifa] f*cking each other up only helps us."
