WASHINGTON - Millions of Americans are watching with anticipation as the first coronavirus vaccines are administered, but doctors advising President-elect Joe Biden are raising concerns that the timeline for widespread distribution may be longer than anticipated. The team of medical professionals advising Biden are warning internally that the program he will inherit from outgoing President Donald Trump may not live up to expectations of fast and widespread relief. Instead of mass distribution to the general population in the coming months, pandemic-fatigued Americans may find approval delays, distribution disruptions and insufficient quantities. Getting the vaccine to every American who wants to...

First, they came for the Confederates. And that purge is far from over. Jefferson Davis Highway in Arlington, named for the president of the Confederacy, has been re-christened Richmond Highway. An Arlington group is calling for the removal of Robert E. Lee's name from Lee Highway to be replaced by "Mildred & Richard Loving Avenue." The Lovings were an interracial couple who challenged and helped overturn Virginia's anti-miscegenation law in the Warren Court. This month, the statue of Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was removed from the campus of Virginia Military Institute, where Jackson taught before leading Confederate troops at...

Donald Trump famously sought the presidency in 2016 on a platform that elevated the immigration issue to the singular political forefront. He was right to do so. There is a very strong case that immigration, both legal and illegal, represents the indispensable issue facing the United States. No other political issue so broadly affects virtually every other -- whether it is economics, national security, foreign policy, culture and religion, crime and law and order, or congressional apportionment -- as that most foundational issue of any legitimate self-governing politics: who we quite literally are, as a polity and a citizenry. For...

When multiple people send you the same list, it's wise to pay attention — and in this case, the list reveals so much about Trump-supporters and Trump-haters. American Thinker gets lots of emails. What showed up repeatedly in the American Thinker inbox on Wednesday was a long list of the possible reasons why leftists hate Donald Trump and deride him as the worst person and the worst present ever to hold that office. Each of those reasons is an accomplishment that all fair and honorable people should find impressive. The post not only highlights what Trump was able to do...

WASHINGTON - Joe Biden wrapped up a team heavy on deal-makers and fighters to lead his climate effort Thursday, tasking it with remaking and cleaning up the nation’s transportation and power-plant systems, and as fast as politically possible. While the president-elect’s picks have the experience to do the heavy lifting required in a climate overhaul of the U.S. economy, they also seem to be reassuring skeptics that he won’t neglect the low-income, working class and minority communities hit hardest by fossil fuel pollution and climate change. Progressives, energy lobbyists, environmental groups and auto workers welcomed Biden’s choice of popular former...

Tens of millions of people are expected to travel to family gatherings or winter vacations over Christmas, despite pleas by public health experts who fear the result could be another surge in COVID-19 cases. In the U.S., AAA predicts that about 85 million people will travel between Dec. 23 and Jan. 3, most of them by car. If true, that would be a drop of nearly one-third from a year ago, but still a massive movement of people in the middle of a pandemic. Jordan Ford, 24, who was laid off as a guest-relations worker at Disneyland in March, said...

Pete Buttigieg is completely unqualified for Transportation secretary – but many of Biden’s appointments are unqualified, and there’s a message there. Pete Buttigieg is only the latest in a list of unqualified cabinet appointments Biden has been making. It’s one thing to reward loyalty; it’s another thing to hand cabinet positions to useless people. But that’s really the point – that they’re useless. Biden’s is a Potemkin presidency. Neither he nor his cabinet members will wield power. Obama and the Deep State are the ones in charge. Drew Holden put together a series of tweets matching the drive-by media’s love...

No media analyst believes Vanity Fair is a "news" magazine. It's a glossy liberal rag. But on Dec. 16, it displayed some amazing partisan gymnastics on the offspring of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. This headline by writer Bess Levin was certainly clickbait for the haters: "Ivanka Trump Faces Off With Father to See How Many People They Can Kill With COVID-19." We can guess no "independent fact-checkers" will get involved to insist that, in reality, the Trumps aren't plotting to kill hundreds of thousands of people. Just a month ago, Vanity Fair ran a story by a purported ex-best...

Note: This corrupt judge from Roanoke, VA, yet another corrupt chief judge in the Western District of Virginia sends a message to the entire world wide web and this blog that Brian will never be acquitted ever under these corrupt U.S. district court NAZI judges. They refuse to protect the constitutional rights of the American people including Julian Assange a journalist who helped cause Donald Trump to become President. It is time for the U.S. Military to declare “Law of War” on the traitors and seditionist Deep State, shut down our Federal Courts and State Courts, and implement temporary martial...

It’s just the flu, bro. We need to change the narrative. Right now the compassionate person is the one who wears a mask at all times and social distances. This is their act of charity to help keep grandma alive and help to avoid the spread of the “deadly” Coronavirus plague. The narrative above is terrible for those who love freedom. So I will refer back to yesterday’s thread for a narrative that properly paints the Flubros and Flubras as altruistic, which we are. Items below sum up the Flubro narrative and counters the covidiots. 1. When I refuse to...

Condemning hydroxychloroquine for treatment of early-stage COVID was all about getting Orange Man Bad. The American Medical Association has been adamantly against hydroxychloroquine as a therapeutic for COVID for the past year. Just a few days before the presidential election they reversed course, reversing their opposition. Did they suddenly realize HCQ might have benefit in certain patient groups or were they lying for the past year? How many individuals died as a result of being denied potential lifesaving treatment? The AMA is synonymous with organized medicine, despite myriad specialty societies that may better represent the needs of its member physicians....

Five employees at CHI Memorial received the first doses of the vaccine on Thursday. The hospital received 975 doses. The first COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the Tennessee Valley Thursday. Channel 3 was at CHI Memorial as employees received their first doses. Five health care workers at CHI Memorial were the first people to receive the vaccine. The hospital received 975 doses of the vaccine and is prepared to administer them through Tuesday. It was a day for the history books in the Tennessee Valley. "It's a day of celebration," said Dr. Mark Anderson, an infectious disease specialist at CHI...

With cowardice and treachery swirling in the December air like snowflakes, we wonder what fate will befall the Republic. The epic elections scam is within inches of triumph. We’re near calling for a Hail Mary pass. We pray for a Trump victory. If that pass misses the receiver, though, then a frail, faltering, corrupt old man will make a mockery of the oath of office by taking it at high noon on January 20. All those who participate in that charade on that gloomy day are, in their ways, culpable in the greatest crime ever committed against the American people....

LAHORE, Pakistan (Morning Star News) – A Catholic family’s five-month search for their 12-year-old daughter who was kidnapped, forcibly converted to Islam and married to a 45-year-old Muslim in Faisalabad, Pakistan, ended on Saturday (Dec. 5) when police found her chained in her abductor’s house, sources said. The discovery came on the heels of the killing of a young woman in Rawalpindi, allegedly shot dead by her Muslim suitor for refusing to renounce her Christian faith and marry him. Earlier this year the father of 12-year-old Farah Shaheen reported his daughter was kidnapped on June 25, forcibly converted to Islam...

Americans should be embarrassed by their elections. The political class is playing us for a bunch of fools. Many Americans, including this writer, contend that the 2020 presidential election is being stolen. About 70 percent of Republicans and even some Democrats believe that such a theft is happening. But despite considerable evidence, they cannot prove their case and put a number on the full extent of this alleged fraud. Other Americans contend that the 2020 presidential election is not being stolen, and they, too, cannot prove their case. This second camp doesn’t deny that election fraud occurred but alleges that...

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – A 38-year-old mother of three in eastern Uganda had secretly put her faith in Christ for three months before her Muslim husband found two Bibles in her suitcase. On that day, Nov. 21, in Bugiri District’s Matovu village, Zubeda Nabirye’s husband asked her why she had the two Bibles, one in English and the other in their tribal language. Her husband, Umar Kyakulaga, also asked if she had converted to Christianity, she said. “I replied to him that a friend had given me the Bibles, and that I was using it to compare it...
