Moderna, a major beneficiary of President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, announced yesterday its vaccine had achieved nearly 95 percent effectiveness against COVID-19. Afterwards, stocks skyrocketed to break records. But if you were watching the ABC and NBC evening news shows last night, you heard nothing about the stock market. Following the Moderna vaccine news the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained a massive 470.63 points “to 29950.44, its first record close since February and within striking distance of the yet-to-be-reached 30000 milestone,” The Wall Street Journal reported. Its last record was February 12, when the Dow closed at 29,551.42. The...

Some restaurants and bars across Illinois are defying Gov. JB Pritzker’s orders banning indoor dining. It’s not because they don’t believe COVID-19 is real. They say if they shut down it will be for good this time. Friday night the chefs at Tradycja in Orland Park were busy with carryout orders, but they were serving drinks and Polish food inside, too.

Trey Trainor, head of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), said in a tweet Tuesday that he believes Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell’s claim of widespread election fraud. Powell, a former federal prosecutor, recently claimed the president’s legal team has been receiving a deluge of evidence concerning voter fraud and other irregularities, telling Fox Business that she has enough proof to launch a widespread criminal investigation and that, “we’re getting ready to overturn election results in multiple states.” While she declined to detail what evidence she may have in her possession, she insisted, “I don’t make comments without having the evidence...

The institute’s surveillance cameras captured the event in visual and thermal format early Monday. The explosion could be seen sending ash and steam at least 100 meters into the air and streams of lava rapidly running down the center-south side of the volcano. The institute reported the event lasted four minutes. "From the seismological standpoint," it "was characterized by a sequence of explosive...

The story of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a one of a whole lot of money spent on broken promises, no results, and a bad reputation.The story of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is one of a whole lot of money spent on broken promises, no results, and a bad reputation. Bloomberg’s late entry into the crowded Democratic Party presidential primary last fall was marked with the intrigue of a well-financed and well-known candidate deploying a unique strategy in an unusual race. One of the richest men in the world, who built a financial empire...

The good teacher shares her life with her kids. She must have some church background, because she proceeds on a secular Sunday school lesson: "A small kindness that you can easily do is much better than a great deed that you will probably never do." It is the Golden Rule, that has existed in some form in all civilizations, religions, cultures and clans, but the young ears that are hearing that for the first time live in a Mylar world in which gold leaf is just plastic. Their world regards distinguishing between good and bad as criminal "prejudice", against people...

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) accepted Democratic opponent Rev. Raphael Warnock’s challenge to three debates and said she will debate Warnock “as many times as he wants.” Because she welcomes the chance “to show how radical his agenda is,” and “show what I’ve done for Georgians since getting into the Senate in January.” Host Laura Ingraham asked, “Warnock has challenged you to three debates. Will you take him up on the challenge?” Loeffler responded, “Absolutely, Laura. I would welcome another chance to debate Raphael Warnock. Look, we had a debate. I...

Several lawmakers from California have fled to a lavish conference in Maui, Hawaii this week, while the state threatens the public with strict new lockdown measures if "stay at home" guidelines are not obeyed. CA officials are in Maui for an annual legislative convention — despite rising COVID-19 cases that led Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, to threaten a statewide curfew on Monday.

According to scientists at a company specializing in regenerative medicine and developing biomaterial for spinal cord treatments, it’s not cannibalism if the ‘steaks’ are grown from the consumer’s own cells at home … and the see this as a way to reduce the consumption of animal flesh and all of the environmental and health issues associated with it. “A group of American scientists and designers have developed a concept for a grow-your-own steak kit using human cells and blood to question the ethics of the cultured meat industry. Ouroboros Steak could be grown by the diner at home using their...

VIDEOThe "Kraken" is now being released about the Dominion Voting Systems which makes the YouTube warning label that "Robust safeguards help ensure the integrity of elections and results" look more and more ridiculous. In fact, the absurdity of that line will probably ensure its place as a pop culture icon. However, as ridiculous as that label is becoming, that line has an incredible power as I explain in this video. If you are a single guy, just saying that line can make your life a lot happier.

Rather than focus on the brutal attacks on Trump supporters in Washington D.C. over the weekend (including sucker punches and the harassment of the elderly), the partisan hacks at the network morning shows instead spun them as “relatively,” “mostly peaceful.” On the Today show, Geoff Bennett blamed Trump fans: “Violent clashes in the nation's capital over the election results. Trump supporters rejecting the outcome of the race, echoing the President's false claims of fraud.” So they were asking for it? He continued, citing relatively peaceful events: “More than 20 people were arrested in what started as relatively peaceful demonstrations, with...

The woman, 55-year-old Karen Jones of Palm Beach County, allegedly posted in the tweet: ““DeSantis, Rick Scott and Marco Rubio are looting my state. Imma shoot them,” the Miami Herald reported. The tweet was retweet of a Washington Post reporter who had shared an article about proposed “anti-mob” legislation that would expand Florida’s “stand your ground law.”

Snopes looks at the People's Cube quote that some fools attributed to Nelson Mandela - and credits it to a guy named Mohamad. Because on closer inspection, the world is also divided into those who create content and those who steal it and take all the credit.

One of President Trump’s Pennsylvania election lawyers says she got an “abusive voicemail” from an attorney on the other side of the case — and she wants the judge to impose punishment over the expression of “ideological hatred.” In federal court papers, Linda Kerns said a lawyer with the firm of Kirkland & Ellis, which is representing Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, left her a one-minute voicemail at 8:43 p.m. Saturday. Kerns didn’t detail the message, but said it “by any measure falls afoul of standards of professional conduct,” which require lawyers to “demonstrate respect for the legal...
