Rand Paul (R-KY), who is a medical doctor himself. The gist of all the fuss around Fauci, of course, is his possible involvement in the development, or at least the funding of, the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. This lab is the suspected origin of the COVID-19 virus, and is known to have been involved in potentially deadly gain-of-function research, with funding from the United States - which made up much of the questioning, that Anthony Fauci refused to answer.]]>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:32:58 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Anthony Fauci]]><![CDATA[Science]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/07/29/no-more-faucis-nih-adopting-new-stopping-high-risk-research-policy-n2204932<![CDATA[The ongoing internal conflict in the Democratic Party is surely yielding some bizarre fruit.

That changed Tuesday, when Vanity Fair published her essay, "How I blew up - then rebuilt - my life," in which Newsom's former commission secretary shared a timeline and details about the affair that don't line up with what the California governor and his allies have said over the years, and which might be problematic for Newsom's presidential aspirations.]]>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:32:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Van Laar]]><![CDATA[2028 Elections]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Gavin Newsom]]><![CDATA[Jennifer Siebel Newsom]]><![CDATA[Kamala Harris]]>https://redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2026/07/29/ruby-rippey-gavin-newsom-affair-2028-fallout-n2204871<![CDATA[On Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and invoked the Fifth Amendment in response to questions about his actions during the COVID pandemic and his diary entries.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:20:26 -0400<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]><![CDATA[Anthony Fauci]]><![CDATA[Bernie Moreno]]><![CDATA[Josh Hawley]]><![CDATA[Rand Paul]]><![CDATA[Senate]]><![CDATA[James Talarico]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/07/29/talarico-and-the-fauci-action-figure-n2204923<![CDATA[Republican Ohio Gov.

AI is already being put to work in industrial and entertainment applications, and robots have been in use in manufacturing and other areas for some time; bear in mind that "robot" doesn't necessarily mean "humaniform robot," or, technically, an android.
