A Conservative MP has called for mandatory coronavirus vaccination certificates distributed by the Army that will determine whether people will be allowed to travel internationally. During a debate in the British Parliament last night, MP Tobias Ellwood urged the Prime Minister to have the British Armed Forces oversee that COVID-19 vaccination roll out process. Noting that a coronavirus vaccine was potentially six months away, Ellwood said, “Mass vaccine roll out is an enormous responsibility and we need to get it right.” Ellwood said he had written to Boris Johnson urging him to give the power to a Ministry of Defence...

Just as time is a one-way arrow, "the politicization of everything" is a one-way road to dissolution and collapse. The essence of any Totalitarian society is the politicization of everything, as everything must be either supporting the status quo or it's a threat to the status quo. There is no middle ground in a Totalitarian society and so everything--literally everything-- must be politicized to assess its true nature of being "for" or "against" the status quo. In such a society, what cannot be politicized ceases to exist. It isn't counted or recognized, and so it fades into a netherworld of...

Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Robert Redfield told a colleague Friday “Dr. Scott Atlas is arming Trump with misleading data” about COVID-19, claimed NBC News political reporter Monica Alba in a Monday article.Within hours of NBC posting its story, numerous ideologically allied outlets had amplified it. Here are some screenshots of the Google News results for the story just a few hours later:“Everything he says is false,” NBC News quoted Redfield as saying of Atlas’s coronavirus recommendations. That’s just not true, top epidemiologists told The Federalist.“Dr. Redfield is a prominent and respected scientist, so I respect his opinion,...

“Two weeks to flatten curve.” Remember that? It was several months ago now. The deal elected officials struck with the American people was to trade lockdowns for hospital capacity. The fear in the early days of the COVID pandemic was that hospital capacity would be overwhelmed if we didn’t lock down, curb activity, and so forth. So we got “two weeks to flatten the curve.” New York City built a hospital into its Javits Convention Center. President Trump sent a Navy hospital ship to handle the expected caseload. None of that capacity was needed. Way back in June, CNN declared...

With the global coronavirus death toll topping 1 million, Dr. Anthony Fauci gave a grim assessment of the pandemic’s impact in the US — which he said “is not in a good place” with more than 205,000 lives lost, according to a report. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has warned repeatedly that the country is reporting more than 40,000 new cases each day, an “unacceptably high” number that should be below 10,000 at this point, CNBC reported.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s left eye filled with blood during an appearance on a CNN town hall Wednesday. As he answered a question about climate change, the former vice president’s eye turned red, and the Washington Examiner suggested it might have been caused by a broken blood vessel, a condition known as a subconjuctival hemorrhage. It can be caused by a number of things — including sneezing, coughing, straining, eye rubbing, trauma from injury, high blood pressure or a bleeding disorder​ — according to WebMD. ​As a senator, Biden​ ​had emergency surgery twice for life-threatening brain aneurysms in 1988.

Bodycam video shows unarmed, and calm Brad Parscale tackled, arrested Released an hour ago by Fort Lauderdale police. He has no gun, offered no resistance and was very calm. By contrast, the politically motivated police proceed to launch a flying leap at him, wrestle him to the ground and roughly manhandle him for no reason. I want to know who is in charge of the police in that county, who the DA is, what their politic affiliations are, what their connections to Soros and the Dems is etc.

You know something’s up when the media bury a story that would have been a no-brainer for Page One if the subject was a Republican. A new Senate  exposes shocking corruption involving Hunter Biden, who made millions in Ukraine at the natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, when his father, Vice President Joe Biden, was President Obama’s Ukraine point man. We’ve long known some of this, but the sheer scope of the influence peddling and sums involved are stunning. The 87-page document also exposes Hunter’s Russian connections, including a $3.5 million payment from the wife of a former Moscow mayor embroiled in...

CHINA, September 28, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) ― A Chinese ethics textbook developed with some oversight from the communist Chinese government depicts Jesus killing the woman caught in adultery.   The Union of Catholic Asian News (UCA News) reported last week that a textbook produced for vocational students by the Chinese University of Electronic Science and Technology Press changed the ending of the famous Gospel story. As in the original, the crowd cites law as their justification for stoning an adulteress to death. Jesus says “Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone.” The accusers leave, one by one.  But...

President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani went on Fox & Friends on Tuesday, a matter of hours ahead of the first presidential debate, and declared that there is “no doubt” Joe Biden has “dementia.” Giuliani also amplified the president’s calls for Biden to take a drug test. “The man has dementia. There’s no doubt about,” Giuliani chuckled. “I’ve talked to doctors. I’ve had them look at 100 different tapes of his five years ago and today.” “The Biden people say he’s fine,” Fox News host Steve Doocy replied.

One of the worst things about the mainstream media’s habit of treating American politics as a high school popularity contest is that it obscures actual news with important consequences. A story that has received a lot of play in the foreign media and almost none in the American media is that the Vatican is renewing a deal with China that gives the Chinese government a say in the appointment of Catholic bishops. The Vatican did this despite strong opposition from the U.S. Government. A craven Pope Francis then delivered a snub to the Trump administration when he refused to meet...

The Nation, a storied left-wing magazine, pondered the possibility of secession in an interview published Tuesday morning. The idea has been circulating on the left over the past few weeks, as Democrats ponder the possibility of President Donald Trump being re-elected. Though many mainstream media polls show former Vice President Joe Biden with a lead, the polls have been wrong before — and Trump is running a confident, energetic campaign, while Biden is barely leaving his house. The interview, “Should the United States Stay United?“, conducted by Jessica Suriano with Richard Kreitner, author of Break It Up: Secession, Division, and...

If 2020 had a slogan, it would be “The Year Of Our Discontent.” This sentiment is felt in virtually every country globally as national governments declare war on their economy, the working class, the poor, and the very old and the very young. In America, the “discontent” is genuine. Already reeling from a mass propaganda campaign of division created by the MSM corporate outlets, Americans were still attempting to claw their way out of an economic depression with some success. Then, of course, came COVID. China engaged in a massive police state repression of what few individual liberties existed, locking...

A small majority of Americans support President Trump and the Senate moving ahead to fill the Supreme Court vacancy just over a month before the election, according to a new poll. The latest Harvard CAPS/Harris poll finds that 53 percent say Trump is right to put forward a nominee for the Supreme Court without delay, including 51 percent of independents. In addition, 53 percent of voters say the Senate should consider the nominee right now. The poll was conducted before Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The survey found that 51 percent...

Low taxes lure wealthy buyers to U.S. territory, where luxury developers are reporting brisk business. At the Dorado Beach resort west of San Juan, the developer has signed 46 contracts for homes in one of the site’s new phases with prices spanning $1.9 million to $4 million. Developers of luxury projects are reporting increasing sales volume and prices compared with 2019. The uptick comes despite years of natural disasters and financial and political upheavals that made many wary of buying property in Puerto Rico. Residents of the territory—who must live there at least 183 days a year—pay a Puerto Rico...

NBA ratings and NFL ratings are trending in the same direction these days. Although talk of how football dominates basketball in the ratings isn’t necessarily wrong, it does not speak to where the numbers for both sports are veering.

They sure don’t build ‘em like they used to. Entrepreneur Michael “Matt” Maroone moved his family into a brand new $3.75 million townhouse in Williamsburg in 2018, only to discover that his dream home was a proverbial “pig in a poke” that smells to high heaven because of shoddy bathroom ventilation, court papers allege. The family discovered major plumbing problems at the 131 S. 1st St. home, including “substantial” rain and shower leaks that required walls to be torn down, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in Brooklyn Supreme Court. Worst of all was an “awful odor” that turned out...

Donald Trump's demoted campaign boss Brad Parscale is under investigation for stealing between $25-$40 million from Trump's 2020 presidential campaign, well-placed sources exclusively told DailyMail.com. The 44-year-old is also being investigated for pocketing nearly another $10 million from the Republican National Committee, the insiders added. The revelation comes as Parscale was involuntarily committed to a hospital by Fort Lauderdale police on Sunday following a concerning episode at his $2.4 million Florida home. DailyMail.com revealed on Monday that his wife Candice Parscale was seen screaming and fleeing the home in just her bikini, telling a passerby: 'I think my husband just...

America was founded on the principle that people should be able to worship free of government interference. As any elementary school student knows (or should), that freedom--more than any other--is what motivated people to come to this New World. It was at the very heart of our founding.  Yet too many of our elected leaders seem to have forgotten this basic principle. And now, some are imposing even more stringent limitations on churches in the name of fighting COVID.  Those limitations on our churches are simply unconstitutional, and one church is rightly fighting back. On Tuesday, one of the largest...

Communist regime flooded social media with fake videos and bots to whip up COVID hysteria.Researcher and attorney Michael P. Senger suggests that the Chinese government launched an aggressive propaganda campaign to exaggerate the severity of coronavirus in order to force the rest of the world into a draconian lockdown that would serve to benefit Beijing.In an article for Tablet Magazine, Senger details how in late January, “international COVID-19 hysteria began” with a series of suspicious videos posted to social media sites showing people in China suddenly collapsing on the streets, including one instance where a man held out his arm to break...
