    It’s just the flu, bro. https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/over-50-percent-of-coronavirus-patients-lie-during-epidemiological-investigation-646574 See link above about people lying to epidemiological investigators (contact tracers). Coronacrats love this job of quarantining people. They get to take away people’s freedoms in order to “help” society. Great to see that they are being lied to because they don’t deserve to be told the truth. - The good news for Texas, California and Florida is the deaths attributed to coronavirus are dropping even during the casedemic. The national death numbers are stagnating because the states that hadn’t been hit hard yet (those without major urban areas) are getting hit now, and...
  • Russian Church: Christianity Is Not the Same as Marxism

    Orthodox Times ^ | 10/20/20 | Kostas Onisenko
    The differences between Christianity and Marxism were pointed out by the deputy head of the Russian Church’s communication with society and the media, political philosopher Aleksandr Shchipkov, during a television program. The comment was about the views according to which these two concepts are being compared. “The understanding of social justice in Christianity and Marxism is radically different,” Shipkov said. According to Marxism, any material inequality leads to the rise of capital and exploitation, which ultimately leads to the denial of personal property, to its violent removal / abduction from the man, Shipkov stated. “Christianity, on the other hand, recognizes...

    Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said during Thursday night's debate that nobody lost their health insurance plans when Obamacare was fully implemented, but millions of individuals had their insurance policies cancelled at the time. A RAND Corporation study estimated that 5.9 million people lost their insurance plans due to Obamacare's rules and regulations. Obamacare is the 2010 health care law crafted by former President Obama, for whom Biden served as vice president for both of his terms. Obama was heavily criticized at the time for telling Americans that if "you like your plan, you can keep your plan," which turned...

    The Episcopal Church introduced same-sex ‘marriage’ as ‘trial rites’ in 2015.ALBANY, New York, October 15, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — After refusing to conduct same-sex “marriages” in his diocese, William Love, the Episcopal bishop of Albany, New York, was found guilty of violating the “Discipline of the Church” and the Canon Law of the church. At the 2018 General Convention, the Episcopal Church had made changes to the rites for same-sex “marriage” that were approved as a trial at the 2015 convention. The new resolution, entitled B012, stripped diocesan bishops of their autonomy to prohibit homosexual “marriage”, yet still characterized such ceremonies...

    CNA Staff, Oct 19, 2020 / 09:00 am MT (CNA).- A federal court ruled against the Diocese of Brooklyn on Friday in its case against new coronavirus restrictions which impose local limits on Mass attendance. The diocese had sued the state of New York on Oct. 8 over new public health restrictions that limited the size of gatherings in certain “hot spots” around the state, or localities where the new coronavirus has been spreading. Certain churches in Brooklyn and Queens were effectively limited to holding 10 or 25 people for indoor Masses, under the new rules. On Friday, a federal...

    (CNN)Joe Biden did a better job in the final debate on Thursday, according to a CNN Instant Poll of debate watchers. Overall, 53% of voters who watched the debate said that Biden won the matchup, while 39% said that President Donald Trump did. Viewers once again said that Biden's criticisms of Trump were largely fair (73% said they were fair, 26% unfair), and they split over whether Trump's attacks on Biden were fair (50% said yes, 49% no). That's a more positive outcome for Trump. In a CNN Instant Poll after the first presidential debate, just 28% said they thought...

    NBC "News" / Comcast ^ | October 22, 2020 | By Ben Collins and Brandy Zadrozny
    Some of the same people who pushed a false conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton that first emerged in 2016 are now targeting Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, with similar falsehoods. Their online posts are garnering astronomical numbers of shares on social media. The fantastical rumors, which NBC News is declining to repeat verbatim, echo specific plot points central to "pizzagate," a viral disinformation campaign that predates QAnon but also falsely alleges a vast conspiracy of child abuse. The disinformation campaign appears to have been successful in its goal of generating a smear against the former vice president's son. According to...

    The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted to advance Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination to the Senate floor. The Senate is expected to vote on Monday, with confirmation seemingly in the bag. The Judiciary Committee vote was unanimous. Democrats boycotted the session. Committee rules require that two members of the minority party to be present for business to be conducted. However, chairman Lindsey Graham proceeded with the vote anyway. “We’re not going to allow [Democrats] to take over the committee,” he stated. Meanwhile, President Trump has nominated a replacement for Judge Barrett on the Seventh Circuit Court Appeals. The nominee...

    Moderator Kristen Welker - with the help of an offstage mute button - helped give Americans the substantive, crackling debate over leadership that had been missing so far during the 2020 presidential campaign. The NBC News White House correspondent worked hard Thursday to keep control of the second and final encounter between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, steering but not stifling exchanges. Midway through the debate, she even received a compliment from the Republican president, who said, “So far, I respect very much the way you handled this.” “I’m jealous,” said Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace, moderator of...
  • A calm, masterful Donald Trump made mincemeat of Joe Biden

    American Thinker ^ | Andrea Widburg
    The moment Donald Trump and Joe Biden appeared on the stage, Trump was in control. He looked robust, while Biden appeared frail and slow. Trump’s dominance extended beyond looks. He ably defended his record against attacks from both Biden and the moderator, Kristen Welker. He also politely, but insistently, pressed Biden on his decades of failure, the damage he caused to the black community, and his corrupt dealings with his son, Hunter. It was a rout. Those expecting Trump to be a bit of a madman, as he was during the first debate, were disappointed. Trump, having achieved his goal...
  • Poland’s top court rules abortion due to foetal defects unconstitutional

    Poland already has one of the toughest abortion laws in the European Union. After the new decision goes into effect, abortions will only be allowed if the pregnancy is the result of a crime such as incest or rape, or threatens the life or health of the woman. The ruling by the Constitutional Tribunal came after a group of conservative MPs from various parties last year urged tighter abortion rules. "The mere fact of a fetal impairment or an incurable disease cannot decide on the termination of pregnancy from the constitutional perspective", Constitutional Tribunal judge Justyn Piskorski said after the...

    resident Donald Trump and Vice President Joe Biden met in the second and final debate ahead of the Nov. 3 election Thursday night, with the president seeking to pin down Biden on recent corruption allegations. NBC News held the debate in Nashville, Tennessee, with reporter Kristen Welker moderating. The debate was the first in which each candidate was muted for the duration of his opponent’s allotted two minute response time for each question. The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) resorted to the measure after the first debate featuring Trump and Biden routinely talking over one another. Trump and Biden were...

    CLAIM: Joe Biden claimed during the final presidential debate that no witnesses in the House impeachment inquiry testified anything was wrong with his son Hunter Biden working for a Ukrainian natural gas firm while he was vice president and the point person on Ukraine. VERDICT: FALSE. A State Department career diplomat testified that he was so concerned with Hunter Biden’s ties to Burisma that he raised the issue with the then-Vice President’s office at the time. Biden declared during the debate (emphasis added): Nothing was unethical. Here’s what the deal, with regard to Ukraine, we had this whole question about...

    President Trump followed through after tweeting that he will publish an “unedited preview” of his "60 Minutes" sitdown to show viewers that the interview was a “vicious attempted ‘takeout’” by correspondent Lesley Stahl when he posted a portion of the interview on Facebook Thursday. “I will soon be giving a first in television history full, unedited preview of the vicious attempted ‘takeout’ interview of me by Lesley Stahl of @60Minutes,” Trump wrote. “Watch her constant interruptions & anger.
