After eight months of active clinical observation and attending about 7 thousand patients of Covid-19 in three medical centers located in Puerto Plata, La Romana, and Punta Cana, Dr. José Natalio Redondo revealed that 99.3% of the symptomatic patients who received care in his emergency services, including the use of Ivermectin, managed to recover in the first five days of recorded symptoms.The renowned cardiologist and health manager affirmed that Ivermectin’s use against the symptoms of Covid-19 is practically generalized in the country and attributed to this factor, among others, the fact that the risk of dying from this disease in...

Host Trevor Noah said Thursday night on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” that Democratic politicians were being hypocritical by ignoring their own coronavirus restrictions. Noah was highlighting a CNN report on the difference between the actions and mandates of San Francisco Mayor London Breed (D-CA), Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl (D), San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo (D-CA), Denver Mayor Michael Hancock (D-CO), and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY).

The Trump administration on Dec. 3 added China’s top chipmaker, SMIC, and oil giant CNOOC to a blacklist of companies tied to the Chinese military. The Department of Defense designated a total of four additional companies as owned or controlled by the Chinese military, including China Construction Technology Co Ltd and China International Engineering Consulting Corp. The move, first reported by Reuters on Sunday, takes to 35 the total number of blacklisted companies. While the list did not initially trigger any penalties, a recent executive order by President Donald Trump will prevent U.S. investors from buying the firms’ securities from...

Thursday about faking an illness and resigning from office over political disagreements. Biden told CNN Anchor Jake Tapper on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” that working with Harris hasn’t held “any surprise” since they’ve previously spoken about it. Biden told Tapper “I understand how campaigns can sometimes get a little out of wack a little bit” and he said he doesn’t “hold grudges.” “So I don’t have — when we disagree, it will be just like — so far it’s been just like Barack and I did. It’s in private. She’ll say I think we should do A, B, C, or...

On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski went on an angry rant [see screencap] against Joe Scarborough's "Republican friends" for refusing to stand up to President Trump on the coronavirus, calling them "stupid," "arrogant," and "crazy." Brzezinski also blasted the president himself, accusing him of "stupidity and cruelty," while claiming his "presidency is killing people." Mika was so out of control that Joe Scarborough laughingly suggested that it might be better for him, rather than Mika, to call his friends to question them on the subject. Scarborough said he would be "polite" in broaching the subject, working into by first talking...

Hypersonic cruise missiles which travel five times the speed of sound, are one step closer to being part of Australia’s arsenal. Last week Australia and the United States signed a new agreement to collaborate on developing and testing hypersonic cruise missile prototypes. When completed, the missiles will be able to traverse the distance of Sydney to Melbourne in just seven minutes. The missiles are difficult to stop not only because of their speed, but for their ability to slip past radar systems by gliding along the edge of the atmosphere. Hypersonics can also alter their route mid-flight. The weapons are...

The Michigan GOP on Friday raised concerns about a memo sent by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson that “is pushing for the mass deletion of election data.”They said that Benson’s office told clerks in Michigan counties to “delete Electronic Poll Book software and associated files” amid calls to audit the election.They were likely referring to a Dec. 1 memo (pdf) from the Michigan Bureau of Elections, which is overseen by Benson’s office, that states “[Electronic Poll Book] software and associated files must be deleted from all devices by the seventh calendar day following the final canvass and certification of...

Just donated and I see that CA is ahead by a large margin in donations! As a proud CA conservative, this is good but I am dismayed at the rest of the States that are not giving. Seems like CA always gets a bad vibe on FR. Give just $5 if you can. God bless all Freepers!

Rittenhouse allegedly shot three people, two of whom succumbed to their wounds.

Rush started the show today, defeated; this is only the second time I had to tune out. There is so much to unpack and yet he makes it sound like Trump is throwing in the towel. This unlike him.

The federal government used the Patriot Act to collect website visit logs in 2019, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence revealed in letters made public Thursday, putting a renewed focus on surveillance authorities that lapsed earlier this year.Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe, in a Nov. 6 letter in response to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), wrote that Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allows the FBI to covertly obtain court orders to collect any business records relevant to a national security, was not used to get internet search terms.He later clarified that position in a Nov....

CNN anchor and the network’s chief national security corresponding issued a surprising and alarming statement on Thursday. Jim Sciutto wrote on Twitter: As Chinese military activity around Taiwan continues to ramp up, a senior administration official tells me, “We are watching very closely and would be ready for anything including a grave miscalculation by the PRC. We’re definitely watching them.”Illustrative file image of Chinese nuclear submarine, via Reuters/VOAHe added at a moment Trump continues to chip away at Beijing through a series of unprecedented ‘blacklisting’ measures, as well as new visa restrictions against Communist Party members and their families (which...

An idea that's simple as an abstraction--vaccine ID cards--turns out to be extremely difficult once real-world operational realities must be dealt with.Authorities around the world have made it clear that they will do "whatever it takes" to vaccinate their citizenry with one of the first available vaccines. Authoritarian states may mandate universal vaccinations while less authoritarian states will favor a "carrot and stick" approach of offering benefits to the vaccinated and exclusions from employment, education, travel and most of everyday life for those who refuse to be vaccinated. To identify the vaccinated and unvaccinated, many nations are planning to issue...

Pope Francis recently used Joe Biden's Presidential Election slogan "Build back better" in his tweet but also in his recently published message for "THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES". It reveals that the agenda of Biden and Francis agree.

Chinese scientists claim to have built a quantum computer that is able to perform certain computations nearly 100 trillion times faster than the world’s most advanced supercomputer, representing the first milestone in the country’s efforts to develop the technology. The researchers have built a quantum computer prototype that is able to detect up to 76 photons through Gaussian boson sampling, a standard simulation algorithm, the state-run Xinhua news agency said, citing research published in Science magazine. That’s exponentially faster than existing supercomputers. The breakthrough represents a quantum computational advantage, also known as quantum supremacy, in which no traditional computer can...

At the time of Watergate, the French were completely mystified about what it was all about. "Of course, an incoming Administration rewards its supporters and prosecutes the prior Admin as much as it can", numerous French heads have civilly rolled. It's a fine tradition, in Pakistan, if you're a former head of state but haven't got the death penalty, you're a nobody. In the late 1960s, a newly-dead American Congressman was found to have $3.3 million under his bed. It was considered a grievous travesty; and even the fact that he didn't set up a foundation to garner $billions by...
