    ROME — Archbishop Víctor Manuel Fernández, the newly appointed prefect of the Vatican’s doctrinal office (DDF), insisted in a recent interview he is not a Freemason or a “Soros spy infiltrated in the Church.” The progressive Archbishop Fernández told Crux, an online U.S.-based Catholic news outlet, that insinuations that he is a Soros plant looking to advance a New World Order are “pure fantasies.” As Breitbart News reported, on July 1 Pope Francis announced the elevation of Archbishop Fernández, his longtime friend and ghostwriter, to the post as head of the Vatican’s powerful doctrinal office.

    The White House announced a plan to crack down on artificial intelligence (AI) on Thursday — amid growing concerns over the advanced technology possibly replacing humanity someday — naming Vice President Kamala Harris as “AI Czar” in charge of the new initiative. Harris, who has the lowest approval rating of any modern vice president, will lead the initiative as AI czar, with a $140 million budget, the White House said. “Vice President Harris and senior Administration officials will meet today with CEOs of four American companies at the forefront of AI innovation,” the Biden administration explained.

    A top White House health official on Monday issued a stark warning to older people about the health risk they face this fall and winter from Covid-19. Dr. Ashish Jha, head of the White House Covid task force, said everyone older than 50 and senior citizens in particular need to get an omicron booster as soon as possible. "If you're over 50, certainly if you're over 65, you've got to go get these vaccines because it actually, literally could save your life. It's a difference between life and death," Jha said during an interview with Yahoo Finance. The elderly have...

    "The knowledge of the circumstances of which we must make use," F.A. Hayek famously observed, "never exists in concentrated or integrated form but solely as the dispersed bits of incomplete and frequently contradictory knowledge which all the separate individuals possess." The more you centralize the processing and dissemination of knowledge, the greater the range and effect of potential error.

    John Kerry continued to run from questions about his under-the-radar climate office Wednesday on the same day another Biden administration bigwig opted for transparency. U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh responded to a Herald Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request within six days - Kerry has said to expect his office details by October of 2024. **SNIP** But Walsh gave the Herald what was asked for in a similar FOIA Kerry was sent more than a year ago. Kerry, without explanation, has said he will respond to the records request by the fall of 2024 just a month before the November...

    Republican Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has introduced a bill to defund John Kerry’s position as Democrat President Joe Biden’s “climate czar.” Roy and others in the GOP are not happy with jet-setting Kerry lecturing the public about the climate. Biden invented the role for his old friend and private jet enthusiast Kerry after he was sworn into office. The bill is co-sponsored by GOP Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), Thomas Massie (KY), Lauren Boebert (CO), Scott Perry (PA), Mary Miller (IL), Louie Gohmert (TX), Andy Biggs (AZ), and Greg Steube (FL). “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds...

    Biden's pick to combat disinformation online has spread her fair share of false information in tweets about masks and former President Donald Trump - and has even expressed her support for the former British spy behind the Russian dossier. On Wednesday, officials announced that Nina Jankowicz, 33, will head the Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board as executive director. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas did not disclose any powers that would be granted to the dystopian-sounding board while addressing lawmakers on Wednesday. He explained that the board would work to tackle disinformation ahead of the November midterms, particularly in...

    WASHINGTON - White House national climate adviser Gina McCarthy is expected to step down next month, a person familiar with her decision confirmed. McCarthy had initially expected to wrap up her service by the end of February, but she agreed to stay a bit longer, the person said. She is expected to return to her native Boston. In a tweet late Thursday, McCarthy pushed back against the reports. "Reports that I have resigned from my position as President Biden’s National Climate Advisor are simply inaccurate. We’ve made great progress these past 14 months, but we have much more work to...

  • Russia Called; They Want Alaska Back

    Ah, Alaska, America's 49th state and the Last Frontier. The home of salmon, gold, oil, and many kinds of wildlife. And a potential place of origin for World War III. In 1867, the Russian Tsar sold the territory of Russian America to the United States. The territory wasn't doing the Tsar much good, never really turning a profit, and proving to be an unnecessary thorn in the Empire's already strained relationship with the UK (which owned Canada), so the Russian government was open to any reasonable opportunity to offload it. Russia and the US being rather buddy-buddy in the 1850s...
  • Biden's 'infrastructure czar' is a total incompetent: This guy will oversee $1.2 trillion in "infrastructure" spending. His record as mayor of New Orleans is appalling

    prisingly, most of the funds will be spent on projects that have nothing to do with infrastructure. With this appointment and the resulting media attention, Landrieu's stock is rising so fast that CNN has just added him to the list of potential Democrat party presidential candidates in 2024. Does Landrieu deserve all this hype? Certainly not when considering his performance as mayor of New Orleans. For eight years, Landrieu was a disaster as mayor. The list of his failures is too numerous to document, but here are a few of the lowlights. The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) suffered a...
