WASHINGTON - Top officials from organizations representing American hospitals, doctors and nurses are calling on President Donald Trump to share critical Covid-19 data with President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team “as soon as possible” to "save countless lives." In a letter released Tuesday, the CEOs of the American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association urged the Trump administration to “work closely with the Biden transition team to share all critical information related to Covid-19.” “Real-time data and information on the supply of therapeutics, testing supplies, personal protective equipment, ventilators, hospital bed capacity and workforce availability to...

Handouts blamed the pandemic on racism and capitalism gave Chinese government a pass A District of Columbia public school teacher encouraged students to blame the coronavirus pandemic on racism and capitalism instead of China, according to a lesson plan obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Hardy Middle School teacher Caneisha Mills had her students host a "People's Tribunal on the Coronavirus Pandemic," whose "defendants" included racism, capitalism, and the United States government. "I wanted to … point out that the capitalist system was behind the pain, trauma, isolation, and destitution [my students] were facing," Mills said. "Capitalism, racism, and the...

With the state and country’s COVID-19 surge worsening, Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine on Tuesday said four new “targeted and strategic” state orders will begin Friday in an attempt to lower the number of new cases and prevent the health care system from becoming overwhelmed. The four new orders are: ● Masks must be worn whenever a person is away from home. That includes outdoors if a person cannot be socially distant — 6 feet away — from other people. But the order applies in every situation indoors, whether a person can stay socially distant or not, and...

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., on Tuesday pressed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on a newly revealed whistleblower complaint alleging that Facebook employees coordinate with Twitter and Google employees to make certain content moderation decisions. Hawley said a former Facebook employee "with direct knowledge of the company’s content moderation practices" contacted his office about an "internal platform called Tasks that Facebook uses to coordinate projects, including censorship." "The platform reflects censorship input from Google and Twitter, as well," Hawley alleged. "...Facebook censorship teams communicate with their counterparts at Twitter and Google and then enter those companies' suggestions for censorship onto the Task...

Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock on Sunday evaded a question about his attendance at a 1995 Fidel Castro speech at a church he belonged to and offered a faint condemnation of the Cuban dictator. "I understand why Kelly Loeffler is trying to change the subject. I was a youth pastor. I had nothing to do with that program. I did not make any decisions regarding the program," Warnock said on CNN's State of the Union. "I've never met the Cuban dictator and so I'm not connected to him." Warnock also said he has never celebrated Castro and understood why...

'Choose ye this day who you will serve,' said the Democrat Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock said in a 2011 sermon that Americans cannot serve God while also serving in the U.S. military. The newly unearthed comments threaten to complicate Warnock's candidacy in a tight Georgia Senate race: Georgia is home to the fifth largest active duty military population in the country, according to a 2018 Department of Defense report. "America, nobody can serve God and the military," Warnock said in the sermon delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where he serves as senior pastor. "You can't serve God...

BERLIN - Berlin police, bolstered by forces from around the country, cordoned off a wide perimeter around the capital’s government center on Wednesday ahead of expected protests as parliament votes on a bill that would strengthen the government’s ability to impose coronavirus restrictions. A series of protests planned outside of Germany’s Bundestag parliament building were banned over security concerns, but many other protests have been registered for other areas in Berlin. Fencing was put up around a wide area, including the Bundestag and nearby parliamentary offices, the federal chancellery and the presidential residence and offices in case any protesters decided...

Washington (AFP) - The US issued an emergency use authorization for the first self-administered rapid coronavirus test Tuesday, as more parts of the country increase restrictions in an attempt to halt a Covid-19 surge. The Food and Drug Administration approved a testing kit for people age 14 and older whom a doctor suspects to have Covid-19. The test, which is by prescription only, delivers results in 30 minutes. "We continue to demonstrate unprecedented speed in response to #COVID19," tweeted FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn. The authorization is for an at-home nasal sample kit developed by Lucira Health. Users collect a sample...

Voter fraud has a long history in the United States. Ominously, much of that history traces back to civil war. In the vote for the Kansas Territory’s first legislature in 1855, 6,307 people voted, even though the territory had only 2,905 legal voters. Thousands had poured across the border from Missouri to vote in an attempt to make sure Kansas joined the union as a slave state, which would help perpetuate slavery nationwide. Missouri Senator David Atchison led the effort. One of his lieutenants told a crowd to “mark every scoundrel among you that is the least tainted with free-socialism...

My county's registrar of voters will not tell a voter whether his vote was counted until after the election results have been made official in December by the electors. One can check online whether the ballot was received, but not whether it was counted. Is that the practice and policy elsewhere, too? Why shouldn't there be transparency right after all voting is concluded about whether one's vote has been counted? Question: Is the withholding until it's too late

“Babylon was a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine; therefore the nations went mad. “ Jeremiah 51:7 ESV" In recent months we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical: the children of light and the children of darkness...These two sides, which have a Biblical nature, follow the clear separation between the offspring of the Woman and the offspring of the Serpent. (They) serve themselves...do not hold any moral principles...want to demolish the family and the nation, exploit workers to make themselves unduly...

Since 2015, a mysterious purple light in the sky has baffled NASA. The space agency has dubbed the strange light ‘Steve’, but despite having an ordinary name, the light is extremely complex. Now, NASA has shared a stunning photo of Steve and the Milky Way, snapped over Childs Lake, Canada in 2017. The beautiful image was shot by photographer Krista Trinder, and has been featured as NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day. NASA said: “What's creating these long glowing streaks in the sky? No one is sure. “Known as Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancements (STEVEs), these luminous light-purple sky ribbons...

The road from Maryland’s statehouse to the nation’s capital is a relatively short 30 miles, but for all the difference between Annapolis and Washington, the two cities could be 30 light-years away. Maryland is routinely deemed one of the nation’s better-governed states, its social safety net earning praise for protecting citizens during the coronavirus pandemic. Washington has passed from partisan division to a more advanced stage of political combat, in which progressives are fighting Democrats, conservatives are fighting Republicans and President Trump sends everyone into disarray. Larry Hogan, the Republican governor of Maryland, arrived in Washington with a simple message:...

Mr. Lin Wood tweets a prophetic message at 2am. A sign of God's providence...keep the faith! We shall endure! We shall not go quitly into the night!

— United States Supreme Court * “Vitiates” in a legal context means negates, quashes, annuls, invalidates, revokes and abrogates “Fraud vitiates everything.” That enduring opinion was the crux of the landmark decision handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in the above referenced case of the United States versus Throckmorton.Ipso facto, the outcome of a POTUS election that is rife with one-sided fraud and criminality is rendered null and void. Especially any result which saw the winner attain his or her victory through fraudulent means and/or criminal conduct is automatically canceled and invalid under the law.The same U.S. Supreme Court...

How well do the claims of neocolonialism stand up?Critics argue that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has become a neocolonial power. Although it does not hold the kinds of colonies imperial powers used to lord over, it is said to conduct itself as one of them. Thus, for instance, according to Jean-Marc F. Blanchard, a China scholar, “the general features of China’s relations with many countries today bear close resemblance to the European colonial powers’ relations with African and Middle Eastern countries in the 19th and 20th century. Among other things, we witness countries exchanging their primary products...
