The Daily Mail reported on a controversial breach on the door of one of the refrigerators that used to hold 1,500 different strains of virus at Wuhan’s Institute of Virology.

One of the strains the refrigerators held was the devastating Wuhan Virus, which has ripped through the world with a calamitous effect.

The conventional wisdom is that the pandemic was brought about due to a catastrophic leak which Beijing has been covering up.

The pictures of this lab were first released by the state-owned China Daily newspaper in 2018. They were published on Twitter last month, before being deleted. One comment said: “I have seen better seals on my refrigerator in my kitchen.”

According to a Mail report, Ministers now believe that the pandemic could have been sparked as a result of a leak.

Last week, the same newspaper revealed that the institute conducted Wuhan virus experiments on bats captured over 1,000 miles away in Yunnan. They were able to do so with a $3.7 million grant from the U.S. government.

The revelations that the Mail put forward soon made their way to the American press. Last week, President Donald Trump was asked about the leak theory. The President responded: “We are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation.”

On April 17, 2020, Trump pledged to cut U.S. funding to the Wuhan institute.

In the meantime, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has pressed Beijing to “‘come clean” about the nature of Wuhan virus leak. He stated: “There is still lots to learn.The US government is working diligently to figure it out.”

He also stated that one of the best ways that China could be cooperative in this situation would be to “let the world in and let the world’s scientists know exactly how this came to be, exactly how this virus began to spread.”

No matter how we slice it, China is a bad actor.

There is no reason to get into a belligerent conflict with them.

Nevertheless, America needs to rethink its trade and immigration policies with it.

Maintaining the status quo is not viable for America’s economic and national security.

Portland Experiences Over a 100% Increase in Shootings After Anti-Gun Violence Police Force is Disbanded

In July of 2020, the city of Portland experienced 15 homicides.

According to Portland police, this is the most killings the city has experienced in one month in over three decades.

So far in 2020, 24 people have died due to homicides in Portland.

Oregon Live reported that the most recent killing took place on July 28, 2020 when a 34-year-old woman was stabbed at a Northeast Portland home after coming back from a vigil mourning the death of 27-year-old Tyrell Penney, who was murdered in a shooting on July 29.

In July 2020, there have been 63 shootings, while there was 28 in July 2019 per a Police Bureau report.

Although homicides, assaults, burglaries and vandalism have increased this year compared to 2019, total person-to-person and property crimes have plummeted compared to previous years, according to the bureau’s report.

Police Chief Chuck Lovell said on July 30 that he’s very worried about the uptick in violence and is shifting officers from patrol units to the detective division in order to shore up follow-up investigations.

He also explained that the bureau had to cut its Gun Violence Reduction Team in accordance to new policy changes the City Council ushered in. The team, which counted on 34 members, was disbanded on July 1 in response to budget cuts to police units that have allegedly targeted a disproportionate number of blacks during routine traffic stops.

Like many cities in the country, Portland is starting to embrace leftist radicalism on matters of law enforcement by considering moves to defund the police.

Oregon is already one of the more anti-gun states in the country, so lawful individuals in Portland don’t have many options at their disposal for self-defense. With police being gutted, regular citizens have even fewer options at their disposal for security.

This has obviously not registered with political elites and represents why many Americans will likely leave cities in masse in search of jurisdictions that actually bother to provide basic law enforcement infrastructure.
