The fake entertainment media is already trying to blame Wonder Woman 1984’s crash and burn at the international box office on the pandemic. Don’t you believe it.

If the recent wintry weather has you thinking about a nice cup of tea, you are not alone. Demand is so high for Bigelow tea that the company cut the ribbon on a new warehouse Monday morning.

A relief package for Americans during the Chinese coronavirus crisis includes a continuation of a de facto amnesty pipeline for illegal aliens while placing limits on where the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can construct United States-Mexico border wall.First enacted at the beginning of 2019, Congress is looking to continue a de facto amnesty pipeline that can be readily used by members of the violent MS-13 Gang which recruits Central American teenagers.

Bipartisan House lawmakers joined forces Monday night to approve a massive $2.3 trillion federal spending package, combining another round of emergency coronavirus relief with funding to keep the government running for the next nine months. The package was a bitter pill to swallow for many lawmakers in both parties. Republicans were asked to back a number of social welfare programs while piling roughly $1 trillion more onto the federal debt. Democrats were forced to hold their noses to support a package they deemed much too small to fight the dual crises of health and economy spawned by the surging pandemic....

House Representative-elect and new “Squad” member Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) proclaimed Monday that capitalism is “slavery by another name.” Bowman said in an interview with The Root: I believe our current system of capitalism is slavery by another name. We’ve moved from physical chattel enslavement and physical racial segregation to a plantation economic system. One that keeps the majority of Americans unemployed, or underemployed and struggling just to survive, while the power elite continues to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few, and allow large corporations to pretty much run the world as multinational corporations. “The pandemic has revealed it....

At least four candidates are near the finish line in the U.S. coronavirus vaccine race, but how well they will work remains a question. A key point to note, however, is that the vaccine isn’t an end-all solution to the pandemic. That’s in large part because any inoculations developed now are focused on simply preventing symptoms from arising, rather than blocking out the virus altogether.

Pfizer vaccine results analysis (my own) from FDA document. I am not medically trained, so anyone else who wants to look at my results, please chime in. The purpose of the vaccine is to reduce severe Covid illness, not reduce infection rates. Here’s how it works: participants receive either 2 doses of the vaccine or 2 doses of placebo. If, after receiving a dose, they come down with “acute respiratory illness” (not defined in the documen, but I’m assuming some breathing difficulty), then they are tested for SARS-Cov2. (P. 13 of pdf document) There were roughly 17,500 participants in each...

Richard Grenell, the former acting director of national intelligence, said on Sunday that he was very concerned with Joe Biden and his national security advisor pick with respect to U.S.-China policy.Mark Levin, the host of the Fox News’ “Life Liberty & Levin” show, suggested that Biden is “exactly the wrong man, at the wrong time, to be anywhere near creating and leading American foreign policy” because his family is “so bought off in so many ways by the Communist Chinese government.”“I’m very concerned about what not only Joe Biden and his family, how they’ve responded to China in the past,”...

developed with cells from aborted babies Tuesday in a video she posted online. Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood manager who became pro-life, said she is not anti-vaccine, but she will not take any vaccine for COVID-19. “If abortion was used in any part of the manufacturing or production of this vaccine, the Catholic Church especially and all Christians should be saying no, we don’t want any part of it,” she said. All three of the currently available vaccines for the coronavirus used cells from aborted babies in some part of the process. The vaccine by AstraZeneca was developed with cells...

A Zoom executive worked with Chinese authorities to provide data on users located outside of China and ensure the U.S. video-call giant retained market access in the country, according to recently unsealed court documents filed by U.S. federal prosecutors. The documents detailed internal communications between Zoom employees, which showed that Chinese security authorities made numerous requests to the company for data on users and meetings that discussed political and religious topics Beijing deemed unacceptable. Zoom complied with most of these requests, at times involving users outside of China. The revelations highlight how users outside of China’s shores are increasingly being...

Using data from the Vaccine Allocation Planner tool by Ariadne Labs and the Surgo Foundation, ABC News created a questionnaire that helps people find out where they stand in the vaccine line. The tool asks users to enter which state and county they live in, their age, job and whether they have any pre-existing conditions. Once that’s done, it calculates approximately how many people in that area are set to get vaccinated ahead of the user, as well as how many Americans are in their priority group.

Rhode Island Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin joined a growing chorus of Catholic leaders this week in urging Joe Biden not to present himself for communion because of his pro-abortion stance. Biden claims to be a devout Catholic but holds positions on abortion, family and religious freedom that contradict his faith. Catholic and other Christian leaders have been urging Biden to repent of his support for the evil of abortion, and some bishops have warned him not to receive communion until he does. This week, Tobin told WJAR News 10 that he would ask Biden not to receive communion if he...

written by Students for Life Action calling on U.S. Senators to VOTE NO on the confirmation of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to head the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.) About the letter to be delivered today to U.S. Senators, Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins said, “Pro-family and pro-life leaders have come together to send the clear message that weaponizing America’s healthcare systems against pro-lifers and people of faith must never be allowed or tolerated. There is a reason that Planned Parenthood and their abortion allies believe they have been ‘wildly successful’ with a possible...

I was watching Sebastian Gorka fill in for Greg Kelly tonight, and great show, had on Peter Navarro, Babbins from TX, and a few others. Then, right at the end, some blonde lady comes on and reads a whole load of legal garbage separating NewsMax from its guests who made claims about SmartMatic and Dominion and then negated EVERYTHING that Sydney Powell has stated. What a shame. So they're too scared to fight. Anyone know if OANN caved yet? Only ones saying 'Bring it' are Lin Wood and Sydney Powell.

CNA Staff, Dec 18, 2020 / 04:01 pm MT (CNA).- Spain’s parliament has advanced a euthanasia and assisted suicide bill that Catholic leaders had decried as “a defeat for all” which abandons those who suffer.
