Democratic Party leaders in Georgia and Michigan have targeted two state legislators for punishment. The “crime” of which both are accused is “breaking our party’s united front against the Trump menace,” said state Rep. James Beverly (D-Macon), chairman of the party’s House caucus. Georgia state representative Vernon Jones (D-DeKalb) made the “mistake” of praising the positive impacts on African Americans of Trump’s economic and prison-reform policies. Beverly pointed out that “it is our Party’s position that nothing Trump does is worthy of approval. Everything must be condemned if we hope to unseat him in the November election. There must be...

Guest Contribution by Gregg Updike Boy, does the MSM (D) and the DNC really have to tie themselves up in knots in their attempt to thread the political needle in this election cycle. The Democratic leadership and the left are users, plain and simple. They use loyal donkeys to suit their purpose at the moment and dump them like yesterday’s trash when their ‘use by date’ expires. Here are some examples: Al Franken was propped up and helped over the finish line in Minnesota by the DNC’s Voter Fraud Division in his defeat of Norm Coleman (R) to gain a...

Viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza are lipophilic, enveloped viruses, and are relatively easy to inactivate by exposure to alcohols. The envelope mainly consists of the lipid bilayer, taken from the host cells at assembly/budding stage of the viral life cycle. Therefore the constitution of the lipid bilayer should be common in all SARS, MERS and influenza viruses, even after mutations, and thus these closely-related viruses will be disinfected by exposure to ethanol with the same concentration. Existing experimental data indicate that an ethanol concentration of 30~40 v/v% is sufficient to inactivate Influenza-A viruses in solution[1,2,3]. The author suggests that...

My Dad saved many letters that family members wrote to him in 1948. He was 17 yrs old and had just enlisted in the Air Force. I would like to make a book with copies of the actual letters, photos and then a transcript of the letters. Many have faded and some of the writing is hard to decipher. I have several family members that would enjoy this. Any advice?

A new clinical treatment trial launched Friday and UW Medicine researchers are looking for COVID-19 patients to test the effectiveness of anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine. UW researchers want to enroll 630 people who currently have the COVID-19 virus. Researchers say this particular study looks at COVID-19 patients who do not need to go to the hospital yet. Researchers are testing two combinations. One is hydroxychloroquine. The other is hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin. Researchers are also using a placebo. UW Medicine is looking for patients in cities nationwide including Boston, Chicago, and New York.

Boeing’s statement confirmed a Reuters story earlier on Saturday and followed a story on Friday in which Reuters reported that the deal was close to collapse as the two parties neared a crucial midnight deadline. Boeing said in the statement that Embraer had failed to meet certain conditions for the deal to go through, although it did not specify which ones. The April 24 deadline for closing had been baked into the deal since early last year, but antitrust hiccups had forced the two companies to try to work out a new deadline. In July 2018, Boeing agreed to buy...

APRIL 3 —- Pawn Stars' frontman Rick Harrison jokingly asked Thursday, "What did you do during the quarantine?" But, as he leans on one of the jewelry counters full of toilet paper at Gold and Silver Pawn, his sense of humor also reveals his confidence that Las Vegas will be back stronger than ever after the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. "Normally, we have 2,500 to 3,000 people a day coming in here this time of year," said Harrison. "And look around, there’s nobody here." Harrison also knows his shop and other pawn shops around town will get busy in the...

... This week, Hastings-Lennox and Addington MP Derek Sloan took to social media posting a video suggesting Canada's top doctor, Theresa Tam, worked for China and "parrots" misinformation handed down by the World Health Organization. "Dr. Tam must go! Canada must remain sovereign over decisions. The UN, the WHO, and Chinese Communist propaganda must never again have a say over Canada's public health!" said Sloan on twitter. The social media posts caught the attention of Hastings County CAO, Jim Pine, and warden, Rick Phillips. On Thursday, the pair sent Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer a letter asking him to take...

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Colossians 1:27-28 KJV The recent tests from Stanford and USC are beginning to prove the skeptics right and the Corona virus stats false. It is time to release Americans from house arrest and go back to normal. Unless there are new tests showing the country has not already been...

California beachgoers crowded the sand as some communities opened their shorelines during a regional heat wave. Coronavirus lockdowns were lifted at beaches across Orange County as temperatures surpassed 80 degrees. Photos show some beachgoers gathered Friday in crowds that appear to violate social distancing rules.

Former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn was the subject of media leaks in January and February 2017 that ultimately led to his dismissal and eventually, an indictment. The leaked information was from transcripts of Flynn's telephone calls that are considered highly classified and sensitive. Several high-ranking officials in the government leaked the information on at least two separate occasions to David Ignatius of the Washington Post, according to the New York Times. The probe into leaks is part of a Justice Department investigation headed by prosecutor John Durham into the origins of the Russia collusion story. Daily Caller: The...

Just spilling brain matter..... 1. We have evidence that the ChiCom virus might have been invented in a Wuhan bioweapons lab. 2. Joe Biden is an extreeeeeemly vulnerable candidate, and a likely failure in November. Dementia, creepy behavior and rape allegations. 3. Back in November, 2019 when this virus escaped, this scenario, or a scenario where a self-avowed socialist gained the Democrat nomination, was predictable. 4 A Brokered Democrat convention is looking like a foregone conclusion. Was this all just coincidence?

A friend of mine's son is in an online dance competition and I wonder if some Freepers would take a minute to vote. I don't even need to tell you who I'd like you to vote for.

Will our elected officials ever have the courage to talk honestly about COVID-19? That is the question asked by a reader who despairs over the countless millions of lives being devastated by governments’ shutdown orders: Here’s one of the crazier features of “expert guidance” as governors try to lay out criteria for reopening their states. With the exception of the Deep South governors (who are taking variable stances), it seems that most governors want to see declining counts of positive cases in the state. What this means is that confirmed cases is hugely problematic as an indicator – it just...

Posted on April 23, 2020 by Msgr. Charles Pope The Mandate and Experience of the Church According to Jesus Jesus gives a concise summary of the work and experience of the Church in His discourse with Nicodemus, which we read at Tuesday’s daily Mass:Amen, amen I say to you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony (Jn 3:11).I. Plural – Note that when Jesus speaks to Nicodemus He does not say, “I speak to you.” He says, “We speak to you.” The use of...

The coronavirus pandemic poses an existential threat to the already beleaguered for-hire fishing boat industry in New Jersey, captains of party boats along the Jersey shore told Breitbart News. The business owners are urging both state and federal governments to allow them to make a living or help them survive the lockdown. Party boats offer rides – ranging from half a day to several-day trips, depending on the targeted fish – for those seeking to fish recreationally. The angler pays for their ticket and receives a space on the boat, bait, and service from the mates on board, who help...

Earlier this month, we warned that Chinese companies were flooding Europe with shoddy medical supplies, including defective personal protective equipment (PPE). Unfortunately given the mad rush for supplies as governments around the world scramble to buy them from any supplier available, no matter how shady, there hasn’t been enough time to discerningly inspect the equipment, and many dangerous lapses have accrued. And while stories about defective equipment on the Continent have been appearing with increasing frequency, this incident from Spain is particularly alarming: Breitbart has reported that more than 1,000 Spanish healthcare workers have gone into isolation after wearing faulty...
