Multiple governments have committed to signing the WHO global pandemic treaty, which will cede health sovereignty to the World Health Organization.
~ anyone else see a problem with this ? Relinquishing sovereignty to technocrats that are unaccountable.

In general the WHO and the UN act as recommendation bodies. Any time someone tells you they are invading sovereignty it's worth another look, because it hasn't been true up to this point.

Yes and that is the process for passing a law through our sovereign system. It's accepting the recommendation not giving up sovereignty. It gives the WHO no additional powers in our country.

Breitbart is so far to the right that Ben Shapiro quit. Check out the media fact check bias on them.

I'll take that as an ' I haven't read the article ' - so much for a centrist non-biased individual, not partaking equally from both sides.
BUT ur free to do so / don't presume to represent yourself as a non partisan in the middle type.
It's all good

And G if you're proving Your opinion upon so-called fact checkers, fact checkers have shown themselves to be unreliable, partial and the times deliberately misguiding.
BUT, you're free to certainly do so.
It's all good - example, the third party fact checkers used by Twitter to misrepresent the truth. I think that's a pretty big deal myself
What a deceiving double standard. Twitter covered their ass claiming innocence by using third party fact checkers. But it's all good

I've never represented myself as centrist. I am not. A lot of my ideas are fairly extreme. I just have some views that are considered extremely left and some that are considered extremely right. For instance I'm strongly pro choice, but believe in little government intervention in the economy.

As far as being non-partisan, I'm not that either. I'm anti-partisan. I think parties are a huge part of our problem in this country.

No, I don't read Brietbart any more. I was reading them when they were a solid right leaning publication then they promoting of conspiracy theories and firing a reporter for getting assaulted by a Trump aid on camera. So no, they get no support from me. I'm voting with my wallet on this. I also don't get my news from Mother Jones, CNN or fox news. If someone posts an article from one of these sources I will read it, but I'm not interested in news that is that obviously biased in either direction. I like Routers, Washington Post (sometimes), Daily Wire (sometimes), Bloomberg, AP, Forbes, and local news site. I also use a few news aggregation sites.

It's a huge jump to go from me not getting news from one site particular site. You really should look at the history of that site and the way it is viewed from non-partisan watchdog groups. If you don't trust that look at what Be Shapiro has to say abou him and Brietbart. Steve Bannon is not a good human being. He's a nothing but a power hungry opportunists.

This is true if you lump all fact checkers into one bucket. Snopes, for instance is awful for anything but debunking urban legions. Media Fact-check Bias, is a well known non-partisan site and is regularly used by MIT when they do research into media bias. They are really good at what they do.

The other site I posted was ABC10 which is a local news affiliate required by law to be non-partisan.

That's why twitter is a very bad resource. It is no more reliable then Brietbart and I'm not on there.

Guide, it was you who first mentioned Steve Bannon as being 'not a good human being'. And I said listing people as to whether or not they were a good human being is kin to playing God.

I'm not upset. I've just given you the information I can, implored you to do your own research, if neither is of interest to you there is nothing else to do. My wish of good luck was sincere. There just isn't much else for me to say.
