You may be surprised to learn that of the trio of long-awaited coronavirus vaccines, the most promising, Moderna’s mRNA-1273, which reported a 94.5 percent efficacy rate on November 16, had been designed by January 13. This was just two days after the genetic sequence had been made public in an act of scientific and humanitarian generosity that resulted in China’s Yong-Zhen Zhang’s being temporarily forced out of his lab. In Massachusetts, the Moderna vaccine design took all of one weekend. It was completed before China had even acknowledged that the disease could be transmitted from human to human, more than...

In Nevada, despite it being illegal to offer anything of value in exchange for voting, officials from the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony were videoed offering gift cards, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, T-shirts, and masks to Indians who voted. "This was a normal get-out-the-vote activity," said RSIC spokeswoman Bethany Sam in an interview standing next to a Biden-Harris campaign bus wearing a Biden-Harris face mask. "We didn't tell anyone who to vote for and didn't ask anyone who they voted for." Jacqueline De León, staff attorney for the Native American Rights Fund, maintains that "Ms Sam's statement clearly proves that no law was...

She suspects the CIA is involved in rigging this election.

I've never in my life been more offended by two people than I am by Obama and the contumacious ingrate he calls a wife. Together they're offensive on every quantifiable level. They are boorish and epitomize the most unflattering characteristics of those viewed as common and uncouth. But that doesn't stop them from disparaging others for personal gain. Yet the very people they belittle and malign, afford them almost godlike status. Even more condemnable is that they advance the sadistic characterization of the thick-lipped, nappy-head, shiftless coloreds who are unsophisticated, uneducated troublemakers who destroy and reduce neighborhoods to rubble wherever...

In this scenario, for example, when counting Pennsylvania electors, Pence could choose to “count” the slate of electors from the Republican legislature in Harrisburg and not the slate of electors from Democratic Governor Tom Wolf. Two law professors are arguing the U.S. Constitution's 12th Amendment could empower Vice President Mike Pence to reject contested electors and pave the way for the U.S. House to re-elect President Trump under what's known as a contingent election. In an October 19 essay at "The American Mind," John Yoo, a law professor at the University of California-Berkeley, and Robert J. Delahunty, a law professor...

Long before coconut water was a trendy sports drink, I adored it. During the annual summer trip to visit my grandmother, I gulped the refreshing liquid straight from the green husk my uncle had broken open with a machete just seconds earlier. My favorite lunch was tender chicken simmered in a sweet and garlicky coconut water reduction. The natural electrolytes and antioxidant properties—those were just fringe benefits. My grandmother lives on the outskirts of Bến Tre, a city that plays a primary role in cementing Vietnam’s position as the third-largest exporter of coconuts in the world. Like other farmers in...

President Trump on Thursday awarded Notre Dame’s legendary former football coach Lou Holtz the Presidential Medal of Freedom — and Holtz reciprocated by hailing Trump as the “greatest president during my lifetime.” Holtz, 83, received the nation’s highest civilian honor in the Oval Office. “Wherever Lou went, football glory followed,” Trump said. “‘I never coached football, I coached life,’ he said.” A tightly packed group of invited guests chanted, “Lou! Lou!” “I want to assure you how proud I am, not only to receive the award — I’m even prouder to receive it from President Donald Trump, who I think...

(Translation) Masks, gloves, and disinfectant-soap containers used for protection against the COVID-19 pandemic have begun to have an adverse effect on the environment. According to [the Puerto Rican newspaper] El Vocero, masks and gloves have been seen floating over bodies of water and reaching the shore. "We see them floating as if they were jellyfish.

If not, they reach the coast through the wind and reach the middle (of...

Tucker Carlson has always been known for his hard-hitting monologues, sometimes stretching 20 minutes into his show. And while some hit closer to home than others, last night’s was so impactful that President Trump himself shared it. It involves an explosive video that was eventually deleted from social media by China, and it exposes perhaps the most dangerous threat America faces. If you watch the above clip, what you’ll see is a Beijing-based professor bragging about China’s ability to settle affairs with the United States in their favor. But it’s his admission that that’s only possible because the CCP has...

A gun-grabbing Santa brought a little boy to tears in Illinois. The boy simply asked the Grinch posing as Jolly St. Nick for a nerf gun for Christmas. This Santa stepped out of his role and decided to make the boy feel bad about his Christmas wish. This was out of a scene from “A Christmas Story,” but even worse. Had this liberal Santa said, “You’ll shoot your eye out kid!” at least there would have been some chuckles. But, this Scrooge just flat out refused to listen to this kid. He immediately stopped the boy when the Nerf gun...
