As Robert Mueller was ramping up his Russia collusion probe in spring 2017, then-acting Director Andrew McCabe was summoned to the Justice Department for a high-level Sunday morning meeting led by then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. McCabe showed up thinking it was a "coordination and logistics issues" meeting for the new special counsel probe, but soon he found he himself was to be the subject of discussion, according to newly declassified notes that McCabe recorded of the gathering. Rosenstein wanted McCabe to recuse himself as FBI director from the Russia probe because McCabe's wife had run for office in 2015...

Eleven miners have been rescued in China after a harrowing two weeks trapped some 2,000 feet below ground. The rescue marked a moment of celebration and relief in what has been an arduous and complex effort to bring the men to safety. One miner has already died and another 10 remain missing. The first miner was rescued shortly after 11 a.m. local time on Sunday. Television footage showed rescuers clapping and cheering as the miner was brought to the surface wearing a blindfold to protect his eyes from the light. He was brought to the hospital for treatment, with his...

Joe Biden, the pope and the looming schism in America's Catholic ChurchThere is much enthusiasm around the world for the 46th US president — and considerable interest in his faith. Joe Biden is a Catholic and a friend of Pope Francis. But he is also under pressure from fundamentalists. Joe Biden is a devout CatholicOn his inauguration day, Joe Biden's first stop was Catholic Mass. During his inauguration ceremony, it was a Jesuit priest who invoked God's blessing, and in his first address as president the 78-year-old led prayers for the more than 400,000 coronavirus dead in the US. And...

Biden’s Catholic Praetorian Guard Cardinal Cupich and company didn’t want him criticized on inauguration day.Franciscardinal Cupich The Biden presidency is already exposing fissures within the Church. On inauguration day, his Catholic apologists bathed him in praise and took bitter issue with Archbishop José Gomez for daring to criticize his anti-Catholic stances. Gomez, president of the U.S. bishops’ conference, issued a tame statement, offering prayers and good wishes while noting, “Our new President has pledged to pursue certain policies that would advance moral evils.” But that was too much for Cardinal Blase Cupich, who declared Gomez’s statement “ill-considered.”Other members of the...

Is this Nurse alive or is she dead. I see evidence from sites like ancestry.com and other obituary sites (some now only cached) showing that she died. These seem credible especially when cross referencing with her Instagram account which references relatives. In other words the obituary will reference relative(s) with those relative(s) appearing on her Instagram account. I believe her Facebook account has been taken down. She has not posted, apparently, to social media since December 14th of 2020. By all accounts, she was a prolific poster to social media prior to that date. She was 30 years of age....

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. Do you understand the authority and power that God has given to mankind. The scripture says that God created the heavens and the earth, but even though God created...

Much has been said much about Peru and its use of Ivermectin as a treatment for the coronavirus. The South American country has been a point of reference regarding its use. The Peruvian government approved the use of Ivermectin by decree on May 8. Despite having received several requests to suspend it in September, Pilar Mazzetti, the new Minister of Health, ratified it. These measures have aroused much criticism among the scientific community. They do not understand why they continue to distribute the antiparasitic drug without having a randomized blind study to prove its effectiveness and overlook that the total...

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) introduced legislation on Jan. 22 to amend the U.S. Constitution to limit the Supreme Court to nine justices, the numerical cap that has been in place for well over a century, in order to prevent Democrats from enlarging the court’s membership. Amending the Constitution is no easy task. The amendment bill must pass by two-thirds supermajority in both houses of Congress and then be ratified by three-quarters of the states, or 38 of the 50 states, to become part of the Constitution. The move comes after then-President Donald Trump’s conservative constitutionalist nominee, Amy Coney Barrett,...

Officials in China’s capital of Beijing and its financial hub of Shanghai announced new CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus infections this weekend and locked down dozens more neighborhoods. Meanwhile, the northern provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Hebei also reported more COVID-19 cases on Jan. 24, as did southern China’s Guangdong Province and eastern China’s Jiangsu Province. Seventy-two Chinese regions were designated as high- or medium-risk for virus spread by local governments on Jan. 24, which means residents in those areas aren’t allowed to leave their homes and no public transportation can operate. Some locals also reported lockdowns in neighborhoods that...

A growing number of big-name advertisers, including Coke and Hyundai, are skipping the Super Bowl this year for fear of not striking the right tone amid America’s contentious political landscape. Several companies have decided not to buy Super Bowl time, some for the first time in over a decade. The reason? According to the New York Post, the talk from insiders is that members of multiple boardrooms are finally coming to realize that they’re going to infuriate half the country no matter what they do. In recent years, advertisers were thrilled to push the Black Lives Matter and Antifa ideologies...

Wall Street is offering to help get New York vaccinated and get life back to normal for workers in the Big Apple.Over the last 12 months of the Covid pandemic, the city has been brutalized by small business shutdowns, financial firms moving south, increasing homicides and the general ineptitude of Mayor Bill de Blasio. As we have noted here on Zero Hedge, the result has been barren streets and plunging rents. Now, financial firms - historically not known for helping anyone but themselves - are reaching out and doing what they can to help distribute the Covid-19 vaccine. They are...

As caravans build up in Honduras, migrants are increasing at a “concerning rate” at the United States southern border, according to Matthew Hudak, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) chief patrol agent of the Laredo sector in Texas. He warns that immigration is just a piece of the threat coupled with the pandemic health risk and other crimes along the border. “Like everybody, we’re tracking the formation of these caravans in Central America,” said Hudak. The Laredo Sector is one of nine CBP sectors along the southern border. It contains about 135 miles of the international border with Mexico. On...

According to Bloomberg, real-estate data analytics firm Green Street released a new report outlining how the office space market in San Francisco will be the worst-preforming market in the US for 2021.

New York was number two with -17%, Los Angeles in third at -9%. Source: BloombergAll...
