Insanity. Chelsea Clinton has a new “children’s” book out as part of her “She Persisted” series. But instead of featuring a “she” that persisted, the book focuses on the trans Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine, a man. Levine has urged doctors to push puberty blockers and sex reassignment on children. And this is who is being suggested as appropriate reading material for children ages 6-9? Penguin Random House describes ABOUT SHE PERSISTED: RACHEL LEVINE: Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger comes a chapter book series about women who...

Right-wing anti-vaxxers pushed a debunked conspiracy blaming COVID shots after NFL player Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field on Monday. Hamlin, a 24-year-old safety for the Buffalo Bills, suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed on the field after a scary hit to his chest during the Monday Night Football matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Players surrounded Hamlin as he received CPR for about nine minutes before being taken off the field in an ambulance. The game was postponed and Hamlin was taken to a local hospital. "Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following a hit in the Buffalo Bills' game...

According to multiple reports, Russian President Putin's medical condition has deteriorated significantly in recent months, and his doctors have advised him to stay away from public events due to concerns over his health. The General SVR Telegram channel, which claims to have sources inside the Kremlin, claims that "Putin gets tired quickly, suffers from frequent dizziness and headaches, as well as occasional unclear consciousness, and his doctors advised him to stay away from public events in order to rest." .....

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not hold his annual year-end press conference for the first time in a decade, prompting speculation that the Russian leader is sick or running scared from answering questions about Ukraine as the war enters its 10th month. “As for the big press conference, yes, it won’t happen before the New Year,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters Monday. “But we hope that the president will still find an opportunity to talk with [journalists], as he regularly does, including during foreign [visits],” Peskov added. While Peskov gave no reason behind the move, the war in Ukraine...

(NEXSTAR) – One week after the Thanksgiving holiday, and chances are good that you are sniffling, coughing or feeling a little scratch in your throat. It’s not just you – the country is contending with a “tripledemic” of viruses (not to mention, a whole lot of common cold). As of late November, reported COVID-19 cases in the U.S. were stable, but high. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded about 300,000 new cases over the past week, but that number is likely an undercount, as home tests often aren’t reported to public health agencies. Meanwhile, influenza is rising rapidly...

The U.S. Senate voted Thursday to pass a resolution imposing a contract on freight rail workers but rejected a concurrent measure that would give workers seven guaranteed paid sick days. H.J. Resolution 100 passed the Senate by a margin of 80-15, surpassing the 60-vote threshold. The Biden Administration brokered a tentative deal in August between the unions and carriers, but rank-and-file members of four of the twelve unions in the deal rejected it. Paid sick leave for workers was a central hold-up to the deal moving forward.

President Biden faced intense backlash from critics on Thanksgiving after speaking out against the purchase of semi-automatic weapons. During a press event in Nantucket, Massachusetts, Biden reiterated his previous support for new gun restrictions while speaking about the recent mass shooting in Colorado. "The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick," Biden said. "Just sick. It has no socially redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers." A reporter then asked Biden if he would be able to make any movement on new gun laws while Republicans...

President Joe Biden unleashed his disgust for semi-automatic weapons on Thanksgiving, vowing to ban them in the United States. “The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick,” he said. “It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero.” The president commented to reporters during his visit to a fire station on Nantucket Island during his Thanksgiving vacation. He brought pies to firefighters for their Thanksgiving celebration.

OAKVILLE, CANADA – According to a report from the New York Post, a school in Canada is “standing behind” one of its teachers who identifies as a male to female transgender who sparked protests after showing up to class with what has been described as “giant” prosthetic breasts.

Chest binding is the practice of using tight clothing or other items to flatten the breasts. The goal is to create a more masculine chest. Transmasculine people—those assigned female at birth who identify on the masculine spectrum—use chest binding to feel more comfortable in their body as do others who prefer to appear more masculine

Representatives for Jimmy Buffett announced that he must cancel the rest of his 2022 tour dates per “doctors orders” after a “brief hospitalization” for health issues that were not shared. In a message posted on social media Tuesday, the 75-year-old rocker posted a statement indicating Buffett’s “Life on the Flipside-Redux” tour would be cut short. “Due to health issues and brief hospitalization, Jimmy will need to refrain from touring for the rest of the year,” the statement read. “On doctor’s orders, he must take this time to recuperate and heal.” “Jimmy looks forward to getting back on stage next year,”...

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom is taking flak from Christians who are offended by his multi-state billboard campaign that promotes abortion by quoting Jesus. Last week, Newsom took to Twitter to tout the billboards his gubernatorial campaign is erecting in Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and four other “anti-freedom” states where abortion is restricted or outlawed. Some versions of the billboards, all of which urge women in such states to come to California to get abortions, advertise the state’s easily obtainable abortions by quoting Mark 12:31, where Jesus says, “Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these.” Newsom...

Walentynowicz’s firing helped transform what had originally been protests over rising bread prices into an all-out assault on the Soviet regime. The protestors did not seek a compromise with the Communist regime, but demanded recognition of their rights, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and dignified treatment of the workers. In many ways, the Solidarity movement stood for what the American Founding Fathers had defined as “unalienable rights.”

Yale professor ripped for helping toddlers with ‘gender journey’ A Yale professor has come under fire over a video in which she describes helping children as young as 3 years old with their “gender journey.” Dr. Christy Olezeski, who co-founded the Yale Pediatric Gender Program, was filmed saying she helps treat those questioning their gender and also provides guidance on “medical intervention.” “I am the director of the Yale gender program, which is an interdisciplinary program working with gender-expansive individuals 3 to 25 and their families,” Olezeski said in the clip posted on Yale University’s YouTube page.

The first time Christen Malone picked food out of a dumpster was when her daughter, now 4, was an infant. The baby was a car napper. She would fall asleep and Ms. Malone, a marketing consultant who lives in Beechview and has a cottage in Chautauqua — both were fully furnished for under $2,000 — would pull up behind a Giant Eagle, pick through the trash, throw some produce in the trunk of a luxury car and go on with her day. Dumpster diving is particularly fruitful in the winter, she says, when milk, eggs and other perishables are kept...

Yes, you read correctly. There are (so far) 33 friends and relatives dead or sick since our wedding eight months ago. I've done the research. All 33 were vaxxed. Every one of them.This is a "vaccine death and disease cluster."This is like the Love Canal, New York, cancer cluster of the 1970s. It can't be ignored when you see so many people dead, or very ill in just one group.But it has nothing to do with our wedding. Open your eyes. This is happening everywhere. Non-COVID-19 deaths are up dramatically in the United States (and all over the world). Life...

Researchers successfully transplanted genetically modified pig hearts into two recently deceased people connected to ventilators, the New York University team announced today. The surgeries are the latest step forward in the field of animal-to-human transplants, or xenotransplantation, which has seen a flurry of successes so far this year — raising hopes for a new, steady supply of organs to ease shortages. The only thing different about these heart transplants from a normal human-to-human heart transplant was the organ itself, the research team said in a statement. “Our goal is to integrate the practices used in a typical, everyday heart transplant,...
