One recent study found that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID and its many variants, actually isn't as infectious as "the science" - and, more importantly, the government authorities like Dr. Anthony Fauci - would like the public to believe.Offering yet another example of how lingering in enclosed spaces doesn't dramatically increase
an individual's risk of contracting COVID, Coronavirus loses 90% of its ability to infect us within 20 minutes of becoming airborne - with most of the loss occurring within the first five minutes, the world’s first simulations of how the virus survives in exhaled air suggest.Professor Jonathan Reid,...

Biden Administration Undermines Public Safety by Ending Bristol County, Mass., 287(g) Program: Why would you not want to deport child rapists, arsonists, and carjackers?
|

Center for Immigration Studies ^
| 05/25/2021 | John Feere
The Biden administration seems to be upset that the successful 287(g) program in Bristol County, Mass., has resulted in the identification of illegal aliens arrested for child rape, assault, strangulation, arson, attempted murder, armed carjacking, breaking and entering, and identity theft, and they plan to put an end to this public safety
program immediately, no matter the cost to public safety. This is consistent with the administration's enforcement priorities and would ensure that countless criminal aliens are released into our communities.The 287(g) program, created by Congress decades back, allows local law enforcement to enter into cooperative agreements with federal immigration...

PHYS ^
| 15may19 | by University of Bristol
A University of Bristol academic has succeeded where countless cryptographers, linguistics scholars and computer programs have failed—by cracking the code of the 'world's most mysterious text', the Voynich manuscript. Although
the purpose and meaning of the manuscript had eluded scholars for over a century, it took Research Associate Dr. Gerard Cheshire two weeks, using a combination of lateral thinking and ingenuity, to identify the language and writing system of the famously inscrutable document. In his peer-reviewed paper, The Language and Writing System of MS408 (Voynich) Explained, published in the journal Romance Studies, Cheshire describes how he successfully deciphered the manuscript's...

On Monday ESPN debuted a new morning show, “Get Up,” or as we prefer to call it on Outkick, WokeCenter AM. The show’s ratings were, to be put it mildly, a complete and total disaster. Only
