China has applied to patent a drug candidate being developed by Gilead Sciences as the government rushes to find the cure for the deadly coronavirus, a move that could raise questions on intellectual property and marketing rights. The state-backed Institute of Virology in Wuhan filed the patent for using remdesivir to fight the novel coronavirus on January 21, according to a statement posted on its website two weeks later on February 4. If approved, the drug will be used to facilitate its potential global market entry, it added. Studies have been conducted outside the human bodies and found that Gilead’s...

President Donald Trump began his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast by taking veiled shots at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was on the stage with him as he spoke, and Sen. Mitt Romney, the morning after the GOP-controlled Senate acquitted him. Romney, citing his Mormon faith, was the only Republican to vote against his party and join Democrats in voting to convict Trump. Beginning his speech at the bipartisan annual event, Trump criticized "dishonest and corrupt people" who "badly hurt our nation" -- an apparent reference to Democrats who pursued his impeachment over what they claimed was an abuse...

A hotline that was used by Iowa precinct chairs to report Democratic caucus results was reportedly flooded with calls on Monday from President Trump supporters after the number was posted online, elongating the delays in the vote tallying process, sources told Bloomberg. Sources told the news outlet that Ken Sagar, a state Democratic central committee member, told other party officials on a Wednesday conference call that a high volume of people called in and expressed support for the president. The hotline number was posted online after an app used by the party to count precinct votes, largely malfunctioned, forcing the...

Thu Feb 6, 2020 Daniel Greenfield …In 2006, Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri was the Emir of an Al Qaeda terrorist group in Fallujah. The Iraqi city was the scene of brutal battles between Al Qaeda and America. It was where American soldiers had suffered the most casualties in any battle since the Vietnam War. Despite multiple defeats, Al Qaeda remained deeply entrenched in the city and was even able to seize a number of...

(h/t HoneysuckleTN) Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation. Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the...

It was a great speech, and amazing success by President Donald Trump Tuesday as he delivered the State of the Union Address. There were too many wonderful moments to highlight them all, but at the end of it there was little doubt that the President won the night and Democrats have their work cut out for them if they hope to win in November. But it wasn’t all good. Democrats refused to cheer things like record low unemployment, the lowest ever recorded for black and Hispanic Americans. Are they not happy that so many people have jobs? Possibly, government dependence...

“Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy” (Proverbs 6:15).

Hillary Clinton knew that agreeing to open up about everything in her life for a new four-part documentary meant that there was no avoiding the painful and public scandal involving former President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. The former secretary of state spoke on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday about why she decided to revisit the extramarital affair between Lewinsky and her husband for the upcoming docuseries "Hillary" on Hulu. "It was a really emotionally draining experience to go through it again, but I have to say, once I saw the whole four hours of the documentary, I hope that...

Flu season is in full swing across the U.S... it always happens in winter. ...everywhere on Earth where people have a winter season, they also have a flu season. Part of what makes the timing of each flu season unpredictable is that scientists still don't understand exactly why we have one at all. There have, of course, been lots of theories why flu peaks in winter: people spend more time indoors, with the windows closed, breathing each other's air.darkness (i.e. lack of Vitamin D and melatonin) and cold of winter weaken our immune systems, making us more susceptible to the...

The following is a Public Service Announcement for Democrats:But not soooo far left that you go off the road and into the weeds. If the trajectory is wrong you’ll be unsafe at any speed. “All the Democrats had to do was look normal, and they couldn't even do that.” – Megan FoxPosted from: MOTUS A.D.

A British man once struck down by coronavirus has described how the horror symptoms of the deadly disease almost killed him. Simon Parker, 47, thought he was suffering from a common cold when he fell ill on Boxing Day in 2016. But he became severely ill over the next few days and by New Year's Eve couldn't even breathe - forcing him to desperately call 999. He was taken from his home in Kingswear, Devon, to a hospital where he was put into an induced coma.

... [Sanders] has described himself as a democratic socialist. So what would that mean for business? A lot, as his various plans lay out, touching nearly every facet of business in America — and that’s aside from the tax proposals he has made to foot the bill, which we covered last week. Health Insurance: One signature Sanders policy is Medicare for All — a single-payer national health insurance program with “no networks, no premiums, no deductibles, no copays, no surprise bills.” He would extend medical coverage to include dental, hearing, vision, prescriptions and long-term care, and then some. Prescription Drugs:...

We have seen lots of strange things happen during President Trump’s time in the White House, and Mitt Romney added to that list on Wednesday when he voted to remove Trump from office. It was the first time in American history that a U.S. Senator has voted to convict a president that belongs to the same political party, and this probably marks the beginning of the end of Romney’s political career. Amazingly, Romney voted against Trump even though he knew that it would not affect the outcome of the vote. In fact, Romney knew that he was going to be...

Man set to testify against MS-13 found murdered after New York releases witness list A man who police say was the victim of a beating at the hands of MS-13 members in 2018 was found dead in New Cassel earlier this week.

According to the Nassau District Attorney’s Office, Rodriguez was protecting someone who was being bullied in 2018 when he was beaten and stabbed by...

Just as the title states, what is the next hoax that democrats and the media will push before the elections?

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s The Last Word, Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) stated that voters in Alabama want someone who has sincerity and conscience — and while “a lot of people” will not agree with his decision to vote to convict President Trump, “a lot of people” will agree with the vote he cast. Jones began by saying that his electoral prospects weren’t part of his calculus on how to vote.

The U.S. Navy has spent weeks trawling the North Atlantic in the hunt for a deadly Russian submarine that was known to have deployed into the waters off the East Coast of the United States. The Project 885 Yasen class guided missile submarine Severodvinsk is built from the very latest in Russian technology and was thought to be just a few hundred miles away from the North American coastline in the fall of 2019. Such was the worry of the U.S. military, the search involved a large number of Navy submarines, ships, and maritime patrol aircraft, all of which proved...

Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign raked in a whopping $25 million in January alone and will use the haul to bankroll ads and staff across the critical Super Tuesday slate. The Vermont senator raised more in January than in any other month in the 2020 Democratic presidential race, his campaign said in announcing the haul Thursday. It added that it received 1.3 million donations from roughly 650,000 people. The flood of cash came just before the start of 2020 primary nominating contests. Iowa held its first-in-the-nation caucuses Monday, followed by contests this month in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.

So, how did that work out for everybody? With impeachment now waning in the rear-view mirror, it is time to assess what it did for, or to, the cast of characters. President Trump enjoys heightened popularity following a State of the Union address that accrued to his lasting benefit, partly because of what he offered, and partly because of how his enemies reacted. A president pursued by Democrats for years could hardly have hoped for better than an evening of evidence that their grudges run so deep as to blow away decorous traditions spanning generations. If Trump did indeed get...
