Defending the Republic Good News
STAND TOGETHER
Dear Patriots,
As usual these days, there is a lot of news. Much of it is distressing.
Here is a collection of hopeful news for you to take into the weekend.
1- We alerted you to Defending The Republic suing the FDA for information on the Moderna vaccine earlier in the week. Here is more information.
We demand to have this information for the American people.

FDA Sued Over Hiding Records From Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Approval
QUOTE: Defending the Republic, a Texas-based non-profit filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration for refusing to turn over records related to the approval of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines.
The group filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking the production of records relating to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) internal review process of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine marketed as “Spikevax.” Given that the forces impacting the FDA’s decision to authorize the vaccine could have influenced Americans’ decision on whether or not to get vaccinated against COVID-19, Defending the Republic requested expedited processing of relevant records.
“Please provide all data and information submitted by Moderna relating to the FDA review and approval of Spikevax. This includes, but is not limited to, all safety and effectiveness data and information; all data and information in the biological product file; and all ingredients,” outlined the initial FOIA request.
On February 9th, less than a week after the initial FOIA was filed, the FDA refused the request for expedited processing, prompting Defending the Republic to appeal the decision.
“The FDA declined the appeal, leaving Defending the Republic with no choice but to file this action seeking a court order requiring the FDA produce the requested records on an expedited schedule— just as those who obtained a court order for the expedited production of records relating to the FDA approved Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine,” explains a complaint filed by Defending the Republic.
Defending the Republic was especially interested in better understanding the review process for Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, as data has shown its risk were not adequately explained to those receiving it and data surrounding its efficacy remains obscured. As Defending the Republic explains:
Despite the FDA’s promises, a closer inspection of the Spikevax approval reveal there may be glaring issues in the approval process. The Spikevax package insert concedes “[a]vailable data on SPIKEVAX administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy.”
And while the FDA publicly pronounced that the “data demonstrated that Spikevax was 93% effective in preventing COVID-19,” the Spikevax fact sheet for recipients and caregivers provides important context omitted by the public officials: “The [Spikevax] duration of protection against COVID19 is currently unknown.
The lawsuit comes amidst several National Pulse exposés revealing how lobbyists from pharmaceutical companies including Moderna have entrenched themselves within Washington, D.C.
2- You may recall, almost a year ago, during the Covid-CCP hysteria, that many states rushed to open clinics to administer to those ill with Covid, monoclonal antibody infusions. This was a therapeutic that showed great promise in making people better and keeping them out of hospitals. Florida went all out to open clinics all over the state. Since this was not a part of the injection/vaccine culture pushed by the Biden Regime, the government quickly rationed this treatment until no one could get it.
Imagine the shock and the joy in the results of this small study that shows a similar treatment MAY cure rectal cancer.

Cancer Trial Using Monoclonal Antibody Finds Remission in Every Patient
QUOTE: A cancer trial has reportedly become the first in the world to completely remove the disease in every patient, according to a study published on June 5 in The New England Journal of Medicine.
The study, “PD-1 Blockade in Mismatch Repair—Deficient, Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer,” was conducted among 12 rectal cancer patients, all of whom had a “clinical complete response,” according to the authors, led by Dr. Andrea Cercek of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
Doctors have been unable to see any evidence of tumors among the patients when using magnetic resonance imaging, fludeoxyglucose F 18 injections, physical examinations, or endoscopic evaluations, according to researchers.
Specifically, the rectal cancer patients were given dostarlimab, a monoclonal antibody, every three weeks for six months. The patients had mismatch repair-deficient stage two or three rectal adenocarcinomas, a type of cancer.
Typically, such cancer patients would have needed to undergo often debilitating treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, and in extreme cases be fitted with colostomy bags.
Dr. Luis A. Diaz Jr. of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, author of the study, told The New York Times that he believes this is the “first time this has happened in the history of cancer.”
3- We were pleasantly surprised to wake up Wednesday to the news that San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin had been yanked out of his Soros funded DA office after he made criminal activity in his city, legal. This resulted in mayhem, filth, death and despair; like all liberal policies eventually do.
It became so bleak that even the 94% Democrat voters living in the city of San Fransisco said, enough is enough.

Progressive San Francisco DA recalled by voters in one of nation’s most liberal cities
QUOTE: Voters in San Francisco have chosen to recall embattled District Attorney Chesa Boudin following a recall effort centered on his handling of rising crime across the city.
San Francisco voted to recall Boudin with 61%, compared to 39% who wanted him to stay as the district attorney, according to results at the time the Associated Press called the race. He faced an onslaught of criticism over his progressive criminal justice policies as those supporting his recall pointed to an increased murder rate, violent crime, shoplifting, burglaries, and an open-air drug trade as reasons to vote for his removal from office.
4- We pray that God gives these brave people the continued fortitude to stand with God and stand against this forced participation in the homosexual agenda.

Several Rays players break from organization’s Pride Night logos, citing religious reasons
QUOTE: Some Tampa Bay Rays players reportedly broke from the organization’s support of the LGBTQ+ community Saturday during the team’s Pride Night against the Chicago White Sox. Most Rays players were wearing rainbow logos on their caps and sleeves. But the Tampa Bay Times noted that pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson were among those who didn’t wear the logos of support.
Adam made a statement on behalf of the players who opted out and cited religious beliefs. “A lot of it comes down to faith, to like a faith-based decision. So it’s a hard decision. Because, ultimately, we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here,” he said, via the Tampa Bay Times.
“But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it’s just a lifestyle that maybe — not that they look down on anybody or think differently — it’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior. Just like (Jesus) encourages me as a heterosexual male to abstain from sex outside of the confines of marriage. It’s no different.
5- This victory did not happen in America, but we pray it spreads here.
America’s Frontline Doctors Major victory: Court rules airline cannot ask new pilots’ vaccination status
QUOTE: The Amsterdam Court of Appeal has determined KLM airline is no longer allowed to ask new pilots about their Covid “vaccine” status. According to the judge, among other things, there was no operational necessity for such a decision. Nevertheless, the association of Dutch Airline Pilots (VNV) is pleased with the Court’s decision and is celebrating its victory. The judge ruled that the infringement of the fundamental rights of candidates committed by KLM’s conduct in the application procedure is disproportionate because KLM has not been able to demonstrate that there is an operational necessity.
6- There are reasons to continue to look at a real leader with sensible and workable solutions to problems. We point out the doings of the Governor of Florida often. The reason is he is a bright and shining example of hope for the entire country. Sadly, he is also a rarity.
Below are four reasons, just in the past week, to admire Gov. DeSantis: He protected athletes from the dangerous injection. He protected the 2nd Amendment. Unlike MOST elected Republicans, he called out Biden for his failures. He went head-on against George Soros.
DeSantis is not all-talk, unlike most Republicans. He gets results for the people he has sworn to represent.
Special Olympics drops vaccine rule after $27M fine threat
QUOTE: The Special Olympics has dropped a coronavirus vaccine mandate for its games in Orlando after Florida moved to fine the organization $27.5 million for violating a state law against such rules.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday announced the organization had removed the requirement for its competition in the state, which is scheduled to run June 5 to June 12.The Florida health department notified the Special Olympics of the fine in a letter Thursday that said the organization would be fined $27.5 million for 5,500 violations of state law for requiring proof of coronavirus vaccination for attendees or participants.
Florida law bars businesses from requiring documentation of a COVID-19 vaccination.

DeSantis To Veto $35M Tampa Bay Rays Facility Over Team’s Anti-Gun Statement
QUOTE: Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) plans to veto tens of millions of dollars that were earmarked for the Tampa Bay Rays after the team released an anti-Second Amendment statement following recent tragedies.The decision comes after the Rays published a statement last week saying that the tragedies “have shaken us to the core.”The organization added that it was donating tens of thousands of dollars to far-left anti-Second Amendment organizations.

DeSantis puts ‘Brandon’ on blast for ‘100% intentional and man-made’ economic crisis in America
QUOTE: At a signing of the Freedom First Budget, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis tore into President Joe Biden for the economic crisis now hitting already struggling Americans.
“We have to look at what we’re doing against the backdrop of what’s going on in Washington, D.C. and particularly, there’s a fella by the name of ‘Brandon’ that people talk about that we have to contend with,” he said, sparking laughter from those in attendance.
“I see this news report where Biden is so frustrated that his approval ratings are in the toilet,” DeSantis continued. “He can’t understand. He’s lashing out at his staff. He’s blaming other people. He’s blaming the media, even though he gets the most sycophantic media coverage that any president has ever gotten. Compare how they treated Trump with how they treat Biden. It’s night and day.”
“And so, he’s trying to make excuses,” the governor said, “and I’m just thinking to myself, you know, what has he done since he came into office?”DeSantis launched into a damning list of Biden’s failures, starting with his “war” on energy independence.

DeSantis Announces Plan to ‘Fight Against Socialism in America’: Taking on George Soros ‘On His Own Turf’
QUOTE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is on the warpath against billionaire George Soros.Soros, a liberal donor and activist, just helped fund a left-wing radio network targeting Hispanic-Americans, Fox News reported.
DeSantis said in a statement to the outlet that the Hungarian-born businessman is trying to “manipulate” the media landscape in his state and push a “Marxist agenda on voters.”
So the Republican governor’s re-election campaign is hitting back at Soros.
7- While we love Gov. DeSantis, we might be getting a crush on Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds. When she fell short of votes in the Republican legislature for her school choice initiative earlier this year, she regrouped. She recruited and backed conservative primary challengers to run in seven state House races against Republican incumbents who opposed her school choice plan.
The major opponents were the state teachers unions and outside leftists who shoveled in money for the anti-school choice incumbents.
The school choicers won six out of seven races.
A BIG WIN FOR CHILDREN IN IOWA!
Reynolds Helps Oust Several Anti-Voucher Republicans In Primary
QUOTE: After her much-touted school voucher bill failed to gain traction in the Iowa Legislature this year, Gov. Kim Reynolds took her ire out at several fellow Republicans in the Iowa House who called out the bill as not being supportive of public schools and ensured it wouldn’t pass.
It looks like Reynolds got her way in many of the Republican primary contests. Her bill, Senate File 2369, would have diverted $55 million from public school budgets for up to 10,000 scholarships to pay for students to attend private schools.
Reynolds publicly began endorsing primary challengers to some of those legislators up for election this year, while out-of-state organizations that support vouchers have been pumping five-figure donations into their campaign coffers.
8- Unvaccinated people fare better and take care of themselves. But, they are victims of discrimination.
Severe COVID ‘Rare’ in People Who Didn’t Get Vaccine, Survey RevealsQUOTE: A survey of 300,000 people who didn’t get the COVID-19 vaccine revealed the unvaccinated didn’t place a disproportionate burden on health systems — in fact, they experienced very low rates of hospitalization and severe COVID-19.There have been very few studies looking at how those who’ve elected to rely on natural immunity and natural products, as compared with those who’ve consented to COVID-19 genetic vaccines, the latter who may or may not have, also tried to optimize their immune systems, fare when it comes to COVID-19.
9- You are not alone! And the group is getting larger.
Biden approval sinks to 22% among young adults, 24% among Hispanics: poll
QUOTE: Approval of President Biden’s job performance slipped to just 33% in a poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University — as even key Democratic voting blocs such as young people and racial minorities give the president a big thumbs-down. The survey, conducted June 3-6, found that 22% of Americans ages 18-34 approve of Biden’s performance — the lowest rating of any age group. Just 24% of Hispanic voters and 49% of black voters said they approve of Biden’s work.
Pray. Know. Share.
