VIDEOWill the lockdowns end after most people have received the Covid-19 vaccine? Of course, an end to the lockdowns would also end the dream of the Socialists and Communists to keep our economy suppressed which might explain why they would be reluctant to end such lockdowns.

Although NASA was able to succeed in ending the Space Race with the USSR in 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission, today’s goals of setting up a base on the Moon became one of its earlier aspirations. As it turns out, Washington had plans to build a Moon base much earlier. NASA today is working towards bringing back the next humans and the first woman on the Moon next year through its Artemis program. One of the agency’s goals is also to establish a lunar base by the end of the decade. However, it was recently revealed that Washington already...

When a small group of anti-lockdown protesters gathered in front of Mayor London Breed’s house Dec. 13, they said San Francisco’s shelter-in-place measures were too strict and mask mandates had gone too far. Demonstrators, many of whom did not wear masks, carried signs that likened the recent shelter-in-place order to “voodoo science” and chanted slogans like, “Open S.F. now!” “Our group is strongly opposed to masking children at any time,” protest organizer Daniel Kotzin said. “We are opposed to anyone wearing masks outside. We’re also against masks for anyone while they are exercising.” Claim: Children are not at risk of...

In an interview with The Georgia Star News on Friday, State Rep. David Clark (R-Buford), alleged that Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) has no intention to follow through on a promise he made to President Trump in a phone call earlier this month. Clark alleged that in that phone conversation, Ralston promised President Trump he would use his power and influence to convene a special session of the Georgia General Assembly, for the purpose of reviewing the qualifications of Electors in the aftermath of the November 3rd election, fraught with allegations of voter fraud. Clark further...

A Spare the Air alert is in effect for the Bay Area on Monday. That means wood burning is banned for a full 24 hours. Those who ignore the order must either take a “wood smoke awareness course” or pay a $100 fine. Second-time offenses are met with a $500 ticket and that amount increases with each subsequent violation. On Sunday, air quality in most of the Bay Area was good, though it was moderate in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley in the morning due to fine particle pollution. By early evening, most of the North Bay had moderate air...

A well-preserved wolf pup has been recovered from permafrost in the Yukon Territory of northern Canada, revealing new details about how ancient wolves spread across North America and Eurasia. PHOTOGRAPH BY GOVERNMENT OF YUKON IN THE SUMMER of 2016, a gold miner in Canada’s Yukon Territory found an unexpected treasure. While blasting a wall of permafrost with a water cannon to release whatever riches might be found inside, Neil Loveless saw something melting out of the ice. It wasn’t a precious mineral, but the oldest and most complete wolf mummy ever discovered. Loveless quickly placed the frozen pup in a...

The financial tale of the Crescent Dunes solar plant in Nevada is one of epic levels of government incompetence and mismanagement of taxpayer dollars. The Crescent Dunes solar plant received $737 million in guaranteed loans from the Obama administration as part of the 2009 economic stimulus, which included a settlement with the Department of Energy that left the American taxpayers liable for nearly $235 million in outstanding debt. The plant received an additional $275.6 million from the Treasury Department in 2017 as part of the Treasury Department's 1603 program, which allows payments to made for specified energy properties in lieu...

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 19 (UPI) -- SpaceX launched the company's second spy satellite mission for the U.S. government Saturday morning. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 9 a.m. EST from Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The payload fairing separated about 2 1/2 minutes after liftoff. The reusable Falcon 9 rocket landed at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station about 8 1/2 minutes after liftoff -- the fifth time for this particular booster and the 70th time for a Falcon 9 to date. SpaceX aborted a previous launch attempt Thursday due to a slightly high pressure reading in...

The Chinese Communist Party has expanded its weather modification program to cover an are more than one and a half times the size of India, coupled with a fivefold personnel increase. In early December, the Chinese government revealed it wanted to “extend the artificial rain and snow program to cover at least 2.1m sq miles (5.5m sq km) of land by 2025..”“The long-term plan envisages that by 2035, the country’s weather modification capabilities would reach an “advanced” level and focus on revitalising rural regions, restoring ecosystems and minimising losses from natural disasters,” a summary of the Chinese Communist Party’s goals...

Eureka! We found that gold you hear about in California. And it just left.California lost so many people in the last decade that when the census numbers are all tabulated, it could lose a congressional seat. Even the state’s Rose Bowl game just left for Texas.The San Diego Union-Tribune reports the California Department of Finance says the state grew by only 21,200 residents in the past year, the lowest since 1900.“This is a real sea change in California, which used to be this state of pretty robust population growth,” said Hans Johnson, a demographer at the Public Policy Institute of...

At Princeton, academic freedom is considered just another tool of white supremacy. The ubiquity of race obsession on campuses in the age of Black Lives Matter and George Floyd showed itself at Princeton University, too, so much so that in September its President, Christopher L. Eisgruber, published a self-flagellating open letter in which he bemoaned the fact that “[r]acism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton” and that “racist assumptions” are “embedded in structures of the University itself.” At least one federal agency took Eisgruber at his word and Princeton subsequently received a letter from...

Jill Biden thinks an ed-school advanced degree makes her more important. Does it? Essayist Joseph Epstein stirred up the “woke” commissars with an essay jovially advising Jill Biden from insisting on being called “Dr” because she has a doctorate in education. As Epstein pointed out, usually the demand to be called “Doctor” when one is not an M.D. suggests insecurity or unseemly vanity. After all, according to her husband, she sought out the degree because she was “so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden.” No matter. To Epstein’s critics, the “entitled” old white guy was “sexist”...

Reports from Britain and South Africa of new coronavirus strains that seem to spread more easily are causing alarm, but virus experts say it's unclear if that's the case or whether they pose any concern for vaccines or cause more severe disease. Viruses naturally evolve as they move through the population, some more than others. It's one reason we need a fresh flu shot each year. New variants, or strains, of the virus that causes COVID-19 have been seen almost since it was first detected in China nearly a year ago. On Saturday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new restrictions...

Nadav Shragai writes this week: With Israel’s coronavirus numbers on the rise and the government poised to instate a policy of rigorous restrictions, the worst kept secret in the country is that the Temple Mount as turned into “Corona Mount.” Some 18,000 people crowd into the compound every Friday, many without masks. … Then they go back to their neighborhoods in east Jerusalem or Arab communities in Israel, where they infect many more. In east Jerusalem, 14% of COVID tests are coming back positive. In Issawiya, it’s 17.5%. In Kafr Aqab, 23%, and in the Shuefat refugee camp — 50%....

Hungarian-born scientist Katalin Kariko’s obsession with researching a substance called mRNA to fight disease once cost her a faculty position at a prestigious US university, which dismissed the idea as a dead end. Now, her pioneering work — which paved the way for the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines — could be what saves the world from a 100-year pandemic. “This is just kind of unbelievable,” she told AFP in a video call from her home in Philadelphia, adding she was unused to the attention after toiling for years in obscurity. It shows why “it’s important science should be supported...

At the request of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, British Airways has agreed to test passengers for a new coronavirus mutation before they board a flight to Kennedy airport. In an effort to keep New York free of the highly contagious strain that has shut down London, Cuomo asked airline officials to take the proactive measure, the governor said on Monday.

We are all aware at some very shady business in the Presidential election, but the Democrats aren’t even hiding their attempt at stealing the vote down in Georgia. In fact, they are flaunting it. Box trucks advertising a message “Vote Democrat. Get $1200” were spotted and photographed all around Georgia.
