Critics of the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) expressed anger over Saturday’s star-studded “One World” benefit concert held to raise funds for the U.N. body after President Donald Trump pulled funding for the organization over its connections to the Chinese communist regime. The “One World” concert, led by the W.H.O. and non-profit group Global Citizen, was broadcast across multiple television channels in the U.S. and around the world on Saturday, with the aim of raising money for the W.H.O.’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

The New Jersey woman who helped organize and film a protest in the state capitol of Trenton against Governor Phil Murphy's stay-at-home orders was charged by the state police with violating the emergency decrees. The information comes to us via a press release from the state's attorney general, Gurbir S. Grewal and Colonel Patrick J. Callahan, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police. That's some pretty heavy artillery to keep a lone woman in line. All she did was exercise her right to organize a protest and film it. NJ.com: The protestors gathered outside the Statehouse and other locations in...

Big Flats, NY (WENY) -- Lowe's in Big Flats is currently closed because of “continual violations of Executive Order(s) issued by New York State Governor pertaining to social distancing.” A couple of Chemung County Sheriff's deputies were on the scene asking people to leave the store around 3:00 PM this afternoon. A customer coming back for a second trip mentioned that when he was in the home improvement store earlier in the day, he had seen instances in which the social distancing order was not being observed. Employees at the store were allowed to remain inside. In a press release...

We’re going to come out of this nightmare whether the Democratic politicians like it or not. The pandemic is subsiding, so America is done with this lockdown nonsense, and the inevitable re-opening is coming. It will start out slow, then get faster, then get very, very fast, and then get finished. That’s how these things happen. But it won’t happen without #resistance. The lib establishment and its media gerbils clearly think it’s in their interest to have the Bat Gobbler flu crisis continue indefinitely. They think it hurts Trump, plus they really love wielding power over you. Just look into...

According to projections by IHME, we are supposed to be past the peak by now, we will continue to see deaths for each day throughout May before reaching 0 on June 1st. Why is it supposed to stop by then? That seems a bit early to me.

Disney's kids' cartoon "DuckTales" has introduced a gay couple — two dads — as the parents of Violet, who's a friend of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, LGBTQ Nation reported. Violet's dads adopt her friend Lena in the episode, the outlet said, adding that Violet dubs her "my sister from a couple of misters." Their names are Tyrian "Ty" Sabrewing and Indigo "Indy" Sabrewing, LGBTQ Nation said. They both wear T-shirts with the phrase "I'M WITH DAD" on the front along with arrows pointing at each other. What does the show's co-executive producer have to say? "DuckTales" co-executive producer and story...

Martensite steel powder used for 3D printing. Inset shows a zoomed-in view of the steel powder. Credit: Raiyan Seede/Texas A&M University College of Engineering For millennia, metallurgists have been meticulously tweaking the ingredients of steel to enhance its properties. As a result, several variants of steel exist today; but one type, called martensitic steel, stands out from its steel cousins as stronger and more cost-effective to produce. Hence, martensitic steels naturally lend themselves to applications in the aerospace, automotive and defense industries, among others, where high-strength, lightweight parts need to be manufactured without boosting the cost. However, for these and...

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matt. 5:8). The way you think determines the way you behave. God is concerned about the way you think. That's why Paul said, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect" (Rom. 12:2). In Philippians 4:8 he instructs us to think about that which is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, excellent, and praiseworthy. When Jesus spoke of a pure heart...

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Sunday said it was his idea -- not President Donald Trump's -- to add the President's name to coronavirus stimulus checks that are being sent to millions of Americans, saying it's "a terrific symbol" to Americans. "We did put the President's name on the check. That was my idea. He is the President and I think it's a terrific symbol to the American public," Mnuchin told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." When asked about his name appearing on the checks during a briefing last week, Trump said, "Well, I don't know much...

Here is what Jesus says about the ruling class of his day. He said this after he entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, shortly after he overturned the tables of the money-changers: “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.” There can be a spirit of ugliness that inhabits a ruling class, let’s call it pharisaical hardness. When that spirit of ugliness rears its head, it deserves confrontation --...

Anyone want to participate in a music play-off bracket-type poll for best songs of the '50s? At the start of this year, as well as 2 and 5 years ago, I ran "tournaments" to pick the best songs of the '60s, '70s and '80s, based on Billboard rankings, so only the best of the best were included! Normally it'd probably be next year before I'd even attempt. But given this stay-home COVID nonsense, I thought maybe everyone would like another something to do.

The World Health Organization is currently reeling from President Donald Trump’s decision to halt funding due to the group’s alleged mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic and its repeated deference to China’s Communist leaders who have covered up the extent of the outbreak. On Saturday, the United Nations agency sought to put its troubles out of sight and out of mind as it enlisted Lady Gaga and Beyoncé to lead an all-star virtual concert that helped raise more than $128 million, according to a release from organizers. Of the money raised, $55.1 million will go toward the WHO’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response...

GILPIN COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — Gilpin County closed all county roads to non-residents on April 16 in order to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. The public health order was established by the Gilpin County Board of Health in response to the amount of people ignoring the stay-at-home order and traveling to the high country. “With this many people coming to our county, there is a much greater risk of the virus spreading and increasing the rate of transmission of the virus,” Board Chair Gail Watson said.
