Sweden has taken a light-touch approach, shutting none of these things, and instead relying on the public’s “common sense behaviour”.If the R number is 1, it means that each person infected goes on to infect...

An Italian pharmacology scholar has claimed that COVID-19 damages the hemoglobin, thus impairing the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body, affecting the lungs and leading to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). In an explanation of her thesis to The Jerusalem Post, Annalisa Chiusolo said that her theory provides the answers to several questions about the novel coronavirus, including the higher vulnerability demonstrated by men, particularly diabetics, to becoming seriously ill from the virus, as well as the lower rate of COVID-19 infection among pregnant women and children. Chiusolo believes that understanding this mechanism can pave...

If a foreign nation harbors hegemonic ambitions, tells us technological superiority is key to achieving them, and pilfers our intellectual property to accomplish it, aren’t our leaders duty-bound to do something about it?Communist China is just such a nation, posing just such a problem for America. Yet the notion that we ought, for example, to harden our schools against Chinese penetration in strategically significant areas seems to vex some of our betters.Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) highlighted this issue in an April 26 exchange with Maria Bartiromo on her “Sunday Morning Futures” program. He said that given America has …trained...

The idea that the worldwide lockdown of virtually every country other than Sweden may have been an enormous mistake strikes many -- including world leaders; most scientists, especially health officials, doctors and epidemiologists; those who work in major news media; opinion writers in those media; and the hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people who put their faith in these people -- as so preposterous as to be immoral. Timothy Egan of The New York Times described Republicans who wish to enable their states to open up as "the party of death." That's the way it is today on...

Anyone who refuses to be injected with experimental poisons will be prohibited from travel, education and work. No, this is not a synopsis for a new horror...

A federal judge has issued an order demanding that a group of pro-life activists who were behind a series of undercover videos taken at Planned Parenthood facilities and abortion conferences are liable for more than $1.2 million in damages.

Nearly $1 million in cash was dumped on a Central California road during a police chase that ended with the arrests of two New York men who apparently planned to buy marijuana with the money, the California Highway Patrol said.

The chase began shortly before 6:30 p.m. when a CHP officer tried to stop one of three black SUVs that appeared to be traveling together on Interstate 5 south of Los Banos in...

A new academic paper produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York concludes that the deaths caused by the 1918 influenza pandemic “profoundly shaped German society” in subsequent years and contributed to the strengthening of the Nazi Party. The paper, published this month and authored by New York Fed economist Kristian Blickle, examined municipal spending levels and voter extremism in Germany from the time of the initial influenza outbreak until 1933, and showed that “areas which experienced a greater relative population decline” due to the pandemic spent “less, per capita, on their inhabitants in the following decade.” The paper...

It’s hard not shake your head at California officials asking the Trump administration for help after illegal aliens with coronavirus began spilling into hospitals on the US side. Avoiding disease as well as the social and literal costs of supporting millions of noncitizens are among the chief reasons why President Trump won the election and promised to build a wall.Fox News reports that the San Diego County city of Chula Vista is seeing a “sudden influx of critically ill patients from Mexico.” Kristin Gaspar, San Diego County’s Third District supervisor, sent a letter to Vice President Mike Pence in April...

The freakout continues at President Trump's Fox News town hall on Sunday night at the Lincoln Memorial. On today's Morning Joe, Donny Deutsch called Trump a "cornered animal" and warned he will do "really, really, really bizarre things." He didn't explain what that would be. Macho man Donny salted his spiel with multiple snipes at the president's manliness, referring to him as "impotent," a "little man," and "scared and pathetic."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

During an appearance on MSNBC Monday night, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff argued that Wuhan coronavirus victims are in a sense victims of the failed impeachment of President Trump, which on some days is “equivalent of the number of people we lost on 9/11.” “We can’t act even slightly surprised by this because you told us this was going to happen in your argument in the Senate impeachment trial,” anchor Lawrence O’Donnell told the House Intelligence Committee chairman. “Well, we certainly told the senators that he was not going to change, and there was no way to constrain him,” Schiff replied....

On Monday, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on behalf of the Daily Caller to obtain records from Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases and a member of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force, concerning the World Health Organization, China, and the coronavirus crisis. The WHO notoriously parroted the Chinese Communist Party when it lied about the Wuhan coronavirus from China. The CCP claimed there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission when documents show China knew the coronavirus did indeed pass between people. In fact, the CCP had been...

The 'Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations' surrenders to the anti-Israel Left. Three years ago, the leaders of radical left-wing groups signed a letter in support of Linda Sarsour. The defenders of the anti-Semitic figure who had cheered Farrakhan, terrorists killing Jews, and viewed Jews as subhuman, included leaders of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish groups such as J Street, JVP, T’ruah, If Not Now, Bend the Arc, JFREJ, and Tony Kushner: who once wished that Israel had never existed. Also signing the petition alongside terrorist and BDS supporters were two leaders of HIAS. HIAS, formerly the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society,...

The 50-year-old is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the Dec. 2, 2016, fire that swept through an electronic music party at the so-called Ghost Ship warehouse in Oakland.

European researchers have found the antibody that can block the infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus – aka the Wuhan coronavirus – which is now re-branded COVID-19. The Daily Mail reports that the antibody, “known as 47D11, targets the deadly virus’s infamous ‘spike protein’, which it uses to hook onto cells and insert its genetic material.”Researchers say that the virus, depicted as a sphere with spikes, “binds to this protein and prevents it from hooking on – effectively neutralising it.”The good news is that the antibody attacks the worst part of the virus that creates the respiratory disease in COVID-19.The Daily...

The Washington Post turned a blind eye for weeks The Washington Post, an enormously influential and widely cited publication, fought the good fight. For five solid weeks, it was able to pretend that Tara Reade’s sexual-assault allegations against Joe Biden either didn’t exist or were so illegitimate as to be unworthy of any serious attention. For five solid weeks, The Post was able to wait and see which way the political winds might ultimately blow, and to give Ms. Reade some time to realize that she was fighting a losing battle and should just go away.    Consider a few remarkable...
