I live in Arizona but I listen to WFLA in Tampa on impart because KFYI runs an hour delay. Anyways, I hear this ad called "Vote Like A Madre" The ad says to pinky swear your kids to vote for people to fight climate change. They don't endorse a party or candidates but we know climate change is a dog whistle for leftists. They say in the ad to decorate your pinky nail and post pictures on social media with the hashtag #votelikeamadre. I think a great idea would be to get all the freeper gals to decorate their pinky...

After criticism of the clinical trials data of the Russian Covid-19 vaccine 'Sputnik V' by global scientists, the developers of the vaccine have defended the data presented by them in medical journal Lancet and promised to provide access to health records of certain volunteers. In a letter to the Lancet's editorial board, which published on medical journal's website on Friday (18 September) evening, the Sputnik V developers emphasised that all the data presented in the article published earlier in the journal were obtained in "experiments and double checked", reports Russian News Agency TASS.

New details have emerged about 2016’s "October Surprise," during which the FBI found emails belonging to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on disgraced New York Rep. Anthony Weiner’s laptop, with the FBI official who found the emails speaking out for the first time. FBI agent John Robertson, who worked in its New York office’s child sex crimes unit and was later cited (though not named) in Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s 2018 report on the handling of the investigation of Clinton's unauthorized private email server, spoke with the Washington Post’s Devin Barrett for his upcoming book, October Surprise:...

A team of scientists has produced evidence that the pandemic virus is ‘uniquely adapted to infect humans’, raising fresh questions over whether its origins were natural or could have occurred in a laboratory. Professor Nikolai Petrovsky, a top vaccine researcher who headed the Australian team, said the virus was ‘not typical of a normal zoonotic [animal to human] infection’ since it appeared with the ‘exceptional’ ability to enter human bodies from day one. He said the virus should have emerged from an animal through ‘a freak event of nature’ but the possibility that it had leaked from a laboratory could...

On the steps of the Supreme Court building, soft cries and the low murmur of chirping crickets filled the air as hundreds of people grieved the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Occasionally short bursts of clapping broke out before the crowd resumed its silence. At points, the crowd sang "Amazing Grace," "America the Beautiful" and "Imagine" by the John Lennon. Shawn Boykins, 35, said a friend texted him about the news as soon as it happened. He was in the neighborhood and thought to visit the court to pay his respects. "I can't help but think...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Police believe that the two victims who were killed in a shooting early Saturday in Rochester, New York, were not the intended targets. Gunfire at a backyard party killed two people and wounded 14 others early Saturday in Rochester, New York, a city roiled in recent weeks by outrage over the police suffocation death of Daniel Prude.

The outbreak was caused by a 2019 leak of contaminated waste gas at a pharmaceutical plant that manufactures animal vaccines. The firm was found to be using expired disinfectants, allowing residual bacteria to be released through exhaust gasses. It is thought the leak began in late July and continued until late August last year. In December, it was reported that 181 people at a nearby veterinary research facility had been infected, and in January, authorities revoked the plant’s vaccine production licence. The full scale of the outbreak has not been widely reported until now. In addition to the confirmed 3,245...

Mutant strains of COVID-19 that are more contagious, but less serious, have turned up in France, possibly explaining why Europe is reporting a spike in confirmed cases. The chief of a leading French research hospital revealed the discovery to French lawmakers last week, the Sunday Times of London reported. Microbiologist Didier Raoult, who heads IHU Méditerranée Infection in Marseilles, told senators that the hospital’s infectious disease experts found seven coronavirus mutations during an analysis of COVID-19 tests over the summer. One strain, Raoult theorized, was brought in by people coming from North Africa after France lifted its lockdown in June....

Wisconsin Supreme Court sets oral arguments for December 8th, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.MADISON, Wisconsin — Students returned to the classrooms of St. Ambrose Academy this week under a Wisconsin Supreme Court temporary injunction that prevents the Dane County health agency from enforcing a COVID-19 school-closure order, just as the court scheduled oral arguments in the case for December 8th, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The court this week held in abeyance a new motion from Public Health Madison & Dane County seeking to vacate the court’s September 10 injunction that allows all...

This year’s stay-at-home orders and lockdowns imposed by governments on their populations represent a watershed moment in the history of the modern state. Before March 2020, it is unlikely that many politicians - let alone many ordinary people - thought it would be feasible or likely for government officials to force hundreds of millions of human beings to “self-isolate.” But it turns out governments were indeed able to force a sizable portion of the population to abandon jobs, religious practices, extended families, and community life in the name of “flattening the curve.” Whether through fear manufactured by the news media...

Democrats will work with Twitter to take this Tweet down

Catholic principles of ordinary and extraordinary means of preserving life can aid society’s approach to pandemic, the Illinois bishop says in a recent essay.As the coronavirus shutdowns stretched into months, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, realized he was witnessing something extraordinary. “I had never seen anything like this in my life,” he told Register correspondent Judy Roberts in an interview in mid-September. What he observed caused the vice president of the Illinois Catholic Health Association to draw on his background in medical ethics and apply the standard of ordinary and extraordinary means of preserving life to evaluate the response...

NOT MY WORDS, JUST MY SENTIMENTS…… Dear Liberals: If you are a liberal who can’t stand Trump, and cannot possibly fathom why conservatives would ever vote for him let me finally fill you in. It’s not that we love Donald Trump so much. It’s that we can’t stand you. And we will do whatever it takes — even if that means electing a rude, obnoxious unpredictable narcissist (your words not ours) to the office of President of the United States — because the only thing we find more dangerous to this nation than Donald Trump is you. How is that...

Source: Townhall Media/Beth BaumannST. CHARLES, Mich. – Nancy Puffer, 86, has been around horses most of her life. She's owned Thoroughbred horses for decades and one of them, Myhorseofcourse, has been a successful racer. In 2013, Myhorseofcourse (whose barn name is "Puffer") made it all the way to the Belmont Stakes, one of the three final horse races that make up the Triple Crown. Nancy is now looking at hanging up her reins. She plans to donate her horses to an equine therapy center where children with disabilities are able to ride and care for horses. But before she does...

In the wake of the FedÂ’s promise of 23 March to print money without limit in order to rescue the covid-stricken US economy, China changed its policy of importing industrial materials to a more aggressive stance. In examining the rationale behind this move, this article concludes that while there are sound geopolitical reasons behind it the monetary effect will be to drive down the dollarÂ’s purchasing power, and that this is already happening. More recently, a veiled threat has emerged that China could dump all her US Treasury and agency bonds if the relationship with America deteriorates further. This appears...

House approves, on way to SenateHARRISBURG, Pa. (ChurchMilitant.com) - The Pennsylvania House is sending a bill to the state Senate after a large majority voted to ban governors from using disease-control powers to shut down churches and houses of worship. In a 149–53 vote, all House Republicans and nearly half of the House Democrats passed a bill on Tuesday to amend the state's Religious Freedom Protection Act, stopping governors from using disaster response and disease prevention powers to forbid assembling for worship. The House's approval of the bill comes one day after a federal judge ruled Wuhan virus lockdown orders...

In this hour, when a myriad of voices and false prophets are emerging, we must recognize how imperative it is to have a sound mind, clearly discerning God’s voice and allowing ourselves to be directed by truth. If you choose to turn to God with all your heart, he will begin revealing his Word and his voice to you. “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21). God will give you a sound mind if that...

On Sunday, September 13, a moleben was held after the Divine Liturgy at the Church of the Holy Martyr Clement of Rome in Moscow on the occasion of the launch of significant new Church-wide project devoted to the many ruined churches and monasteries throughout Russia. Following the decision of the Supreme Russian Church Council on April 17, 2019, and with the approval of the Russian Ministry of Culture, the Church has launched a program to digitally scan monuments of Church architecture in a state of disrepair and the creation of an all-Russian registry of such monuments, reports Patriarchia.ru. The moleben...

One could almost feel the collective, international gasp at the breaking news of the death on Friday of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at the age of 87, from complications related to pancreatic cancer. Justice Ginsburg was first diagnosed in 2009, beating back for years a demonic malignancy that claims most lives in less than half that time. She was a warrior—a warrior for civil rights, for gender rights, for constitutional rights, to be sure. But in this moment of American history when democracy itself hangs by a thread, with a yawning crevasse of authoritarianism menacingly before us, perhaps...

"In addition to all, [take] up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one" (Eph. 6:16). Don’t elevate Satan’s will above God’s will in your life. In Ephesians 6:13 Paul characterizes Satan as "the evil one" who attacks believers with flaming missiles. The Greek word translated "evil one" literally means "bad," "vile," or "wretched." All are apt descriptions of the archenemy of our souls, who seeks to maim and destroy us spiritually. The term "flaming missiles" pictures one of the Roman weapons of Paul's day: arrows that had...
