Barack Obama trolled President Trump over the “birther” issue during an appearance on “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah on Monday evening. Back in 2007 Hillary Clinton and her campaign circulated a memo promoting Barack Obama’s “lack of American roots” and reportedly began the “birther controversy.” “[Barack Obama’s] roots to American values and culture are at best limited,” the memo says. “I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and values.” Americans became suspicious after then-candidate Obama, who claimed he was born in Hawaii, refused...

According to federal government data reported by Just The News, hospitals nationwide have 'considerable space left to deal with both routine medical issues and COVID-19 patients," dispelling fears of overwhelmed medical systems and at-capacity hospitals which have been promoted by the usual media suspects.For most of 2020, rising positive test results of COVID-19 have brought with them fears of swamped hospitals, overwhelmed medical systems, emergency patients being turned away, and COVID-19 patients being triaged, suffering and dying in hallways and vestibules. Much of that fear crystallized in the early stages of the pandemic, when parts of the northern Italian medical...

Hotels have now joined airlines in considering whether or not to mandate that all guests have proof of COVID vaccination before being allowed to stay. Several airlines have already announced plans to make the shot a compulsory condition of flying. According to anecdotal evidence, hotels and other forms of accomodation could follow suit. A reader of the LockdownSkeptics website reported that a hotel in Scotland which offers wildlife holidays is preparing to adopt the no vaccine, no service policy. “Should a vaccination programme be rolled out in the next few months, then it is likely we will require all guests...

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Monday that state and local election officials erred when they gave blanket permission allowing voters to declare themselves homebound and skip voter ID requirements in the 2020 election, potentially opening the door for Republicans to challenge tens of thousand of ballots. In a case challenging the practice in Dane County, one of Wisconsin's large urban center around the city of Madison, the state's highest court ruled only those voters whose "own age, physical illness or infirmity" makes them homebound could declare themselves "indefinitely confined" and avoid complying with a requirement for photo ID. The mere...

The Arizona Senate Judiciary Committee will be issuing subpoenas to perform an audit of the Dominion “software, machines, and ballots.”The announcement was made by Arizona State Senator Eddie Farnsworth, the Chair of the Judiciary Committee, during their hearing on election integrity, and said that the subpoenas to issue the “software, machines, and ballots” in Maricopa County could be issued as early as tomorrow.The legislative hearing, that was initially due to take place on Friday, featured representatives from the Maricopa County Board of Elections, and was more focused on how the election took place, rather than hearing newer evidence of fraud....

A forensic audit of the presidential vote tally by Dominion Voting Systems software used in Antrim County, Michigan, showed a more than 68% error rate, with auditors claiming the system intentionally creates the errors so the machine can have them "adjudicated" – allowing individuals to change the result. The error rate is astounding considering the Federal Election Commission allows a maximum error rate of just 0.0008 percent for computerized voting systems. "We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results," the audit report prepared by Allied...

President Donald Trump is no longer running for reelection. No matter what happens now, the die is cast. So why would he stand in front of the Christophobic world and proclaim Jesus Christ the 'redeemer' Who died so that we might live? In his Christmas message -- which the mainstream media has summarily ignored, of course -- Trump retells the story of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and her central role in the Incarnation. Risking the mockery of demons on both sides of the Atlantic, he even quotes the Angel Gabriel's words to Our Lady at the time...

Disappeared down the toilet in a few secs.

President-elect Joe Biden delivered an angry, partisan speech Monday evening upon being voted the winner of the 2020 election by the Electoral College. Biden did not just acknowledge victory; he taunted his defeated opponent, President Donald Trump. Rather than celebrate the result and reach out to Trump and his supporters, Biden — coughing up phlegm throughout his speech — attempted to rub salt in the wound, continuing to argue the case after he had already won it. Biden seemed annoyed that Trump had contested the results at all. He has no right to be offended. Biden was one of the...

An Australian living on a Taiwanese island just 3km from China has warned the communist government could easily invade as Beijing flexes its muscles on the world stage. Aidan Ellis-Patterson, 34, moved to Kinmen Island three years ago to work as a schoolteacher after travelling around the globe.

The Chinese communist government does not recognise democratic Taiwan as a separate nation and has repeatedly threatened to take back the land with force....

Employees of closed businesses have "bills to pay, children to feed, presents to gift and they're going to lose their homes." More than 150 businesses plan to reopen this week in defiance of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s coronavirus shutdown. The businesses have organized as the Reopen Minnesota Coalition.

A rut fueled buck is NOT to be messed with. They’ve been marching around the woods all charged up and looking for a doe to breed, and usually have to slam racks together with other bucks to prove their dominance in the field. Barstool Sports recently shared a video on Instagram that speaks to what I’m talking about. The video shows a buck squaring up to a decoy, and then laying a hit on it like an NFL linebacker on a wide receiver catching a pass over the middle. The deer completely runs over and dismantles the fake deer, as...

Dixie State University is en route to a name change. The university's board of trustees voted unanimously Monday to approve a recommendation to change the name of the university, which must be approved by the Utah Legislature in consultation with the Utah System of Higher Education. Some trustees were choked up with emotion before casting their votes. "It's been a struggle. It's been a real struggle," said board Chairman Dave Clark, a former Utah Speaker of the House, noting the tug between the area's pride in the institution and tradition but also the need to do what is best for...

It is the story of the radical change, the evil that consumed the North Pole, the suffering of the elf’s, and ultimately, their rebellion.

Father Nicanor Austriaco, a Filipino Dominican priest, is currently working on a possible COVID-19 vaccine that will be affordable and accessible to poor people, especially in less-developed countries like the Philippines. “I thought about developing this vaccine when I realized that many of the available vaccines have already been promised to resource-rich countries,” said Father Austriaco, a Dominican microbiologist. He admitted that “it is a crazy idea” but said what he is working on “has to be tested in the small chance that it would work.” “I decided to do this for the well-being of the Filipino people,” Father Austriaco...
