More recently, Carlson argued that it was obvious everyone should start wearing masks to protect themselves and others, contrary to the word from health officials.On last night’s show, Carlson raised another hot topic related to the virus: It’s origin. The story we’ve all heard many times is that the virus arose from bats in a wet...

A team of Israeli researchers says that they are days away from completing the production of the active component of a coronavirus vaccine that could be tested on humans as early as June 1. “We are in the final stages and within a few days we will hold the proteins – the active component of the vaccine,” Dr. Chen Katz, group leader of MIGAL’s biotechnology group, told The Jerusalem Post.

At least Al-Quaeda openly admitted they were our enemy, while Big Media pretends to be on our side. But constant stories about worst-case-scenarios, always throwing shade on anything which might offer hope, always looking for the worst news to report - that's been Big Media's motto the last few weeks, and it's creating a negative impact on peoples' lives. And it's deliberate too - they WANT people to be afraid, feel unsafe, so that they can claim all this chaos is because of Pres. Trump - the lesson is clear: get rid of him, and things will return to normal....

Global oil storage could reach maximum capacity within weeks, energy analysts have told CNBC, as the coronavirus crisis dramatically reduces consumption and some of the world’s most powerful crude producers start to ramp up their output. The coronavirus pandemic has meant countries have effectively had to shut down, with many governments imposing draconian measures on the daily lives of billions of people. It has created an unprecedented demand shock in energy markets, with storage space – both onshore and offshore – quickly running out.

This April Fool's Day, what kind of FOOL would we be if we were to go forth in this evil life without our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior's PRESENCE and PERFECT will for our journey (Ex. 33:14-15, Psalm 23, Prov. 3:5-6, John 10:27-30)?

While states halt abortions to preserve urgently needed supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE), the abortion lobby is claiming that halting abortions wouldn’t help to fight COVID-19 anyway, because abortions don’t require much PPE. Texas, Alabama, Ohio and other states have ordered abortion businesses to temporarily shut down. Many of these businesses have resisted, insisting that abortion is an “essential” medical procedure. In response to these state orders, abortionist Daniel Grossman — who sits on the board of the Texas based abortion chain, Whole Woman’s Health Alliance (WWHA) — tweeted on March 25, “You can’t tell me that cancelling abortions...

Read the last paragraph. Takes 4 minutes to kill viruses.

Planned Parenthood acting president Alexis McGill Johnson slammed the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals as “heartless” Tuesday for allowing Texas to temporarily halt elective abortions. The ruling overturned a judge’s temporary restraining order authorizing Texas abortion clinics to keep killing unborn babies instead of obeying a state-wide halt on non-essential medical procedures. Gov. Greg Abbott’s order helps support hospitals that need additional medical gear and supplies to treat patients with the coronavirus. Johnson claimed elective abortions, which kill unborn babies, are “essential health care,” and Republican politicians are targeting abortion facilities during the global health crisis. “How heartless do you...
