It has also been deemed to be safe - and offer complete protection against hospitalisation and death. The vaccine was initially met with some controversy after being rolled out before the final trial data had been released. But scientists said its benefit has now been demonstrated. ... The Sputnik vaccine works in a similar way to the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab developed in the UK, and the Janssen vaccine developed in Belgium. It uses a cold-type virus, engineered to be harmless, as a carrier to deliver a small fragment of the coronavirus to the body. ... But unlike other similar vaccines, the...

District attorneys implementing liberal agendas in some of America’s biggest cities oversaw soaring homicide counts last year and are now being hit with lawsuits and recriminations from police agencies. ---SNIP--- Ms. Hanisee echoed complaints from police and prosecutors in Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles and St. Louis — all cities that witnessed record homicide rates in 2020 or enormous increases from the previous year’s tally. The homicide sprees in those four cities occurred on the watch of district attorneys who came to power with the help of political action committees bankrolled by billionaire liberal activist George Soros, who increasingly devotes his...

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Several FBI agents were shot Tuesday morning while serving a warrant in a child exploitation case in South Florida, authorities said. A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that multiple FBI agents were shot while serving the warrant, and that the extent of their injuries was not immediately known. The official could not discuss an ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. Multiple law enforcement agencies swarmed the neighborhood in suburban Fort Lauderdale in the aftermath of the shooting, as a suspect reportedly remained barricaded inside the home.

I didn’t declare war on the establishment; it declared war on me. It declared war on me when it supported energy policies that could enrich Saudi Arabia and Russia and would cost me more money at the gas pump or on my power bill. It declared war on me when it told me my ideas weren’t worthy of debate and discussion or that they were even so dangerous they couldn’t be shared publicly. It declared war on me when it used the police powers of the FBI and CIA to first spy on a presidential candidate and then worked to...

The archaeologists, led by Kathleen Martinez, from the Dominican Republic, discovered the mummy in one of 16 burials at Taposiris Magna, which has temples dedicated to Osiris and Isis, a goddess who was both the wife and sister of Osiris. Previously, archaeologists found a hoard of coins decorated with the face of Cleopatra VII, suggesting the temples were in use during the queen’s reign. The other 15 burials also date back around 2,000 years and contain remarkable treasure. In one, a female mummy is wearing a death mask that covers much of her body and depicts her with a headdress...

The Lincoln Project Lowlifes and Their Enablers No one at the Lincoln Project offers anything of value; they’re cruel and stupid, ugly on the inside and out.The Trump era has spawned an abundance of show clowns clowning either for or against the president. One can’t help but wonder what the country did to deserve the likes of Anthony Scaramucci, Michael Avenatti, and Ana Navarro all foisted upon us at the same time.Not since the days of James Carville and Mary Matalin has a power couple like the Conways and, unfortunately at least one of their children, epitomized the political war...

Dr. Anthony Fauci can add “Hollywood star” to his list of credentials thanks to a new documentary from Disney’s Nat Geo that will explore the career of the physician-turned-media darling who became the country’s anointed authority on the coronavirus pandemic. National Geographic Documentary Films announced Monday that John Hoffman and Janet Tobias will direct Fauci, a documentary feature that will trace the doctor’s career through seven presidential administrations and explore his role as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, hired a new criminal defense attorney late last year to defend him in the federal government’s criminal investigation into his business dealings. Then, on the day that Joe Biden was sworn into office, Joe Biden tapped a close colleague of Hunter Biden’s new lawyer to oversee that Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, which is reportedly investigating Hunter Biden. The news, first reported late last week by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, comes after Hunter Biden admitted late last year that he was under federal criminal investigation over his taxes, although subsequent reporting indicated that...

It is one of the more remarkable (read, ‘’Disturbing’’) actions to witness taking place in the media -- reporters and journalists pushing for the silencing of particular outlets. The obviously troubling aspect is that you have a collection of people who wholly subsist on the freedoms granted by the First Amendment encouraging limitations to that very freedom of expression. Another component seen is that in their very specific targeting -- those being conservative outlets -- the mainstream players are essentially announcing their unbiased occupation of left-of-center territory.While some of these reactions can be chalked up to emotional backlash in a...

Half the people in America know that the other half pretty much hates them. This half (the upper half, with control of most of the wealth and virtually all the power) considers their neighbors who own guns, go to church, and voted for Donald Trump … hateful and dangerous. Atavistic and violent. Irrational and RACIST. (Even if they’re not white.) That’s the favorite hate-term, the trump card, the smear that’s meant to silence each critic.Anti-racism (defined in a Marxist way almost unrelated to genuine prejudice, injustice or even race) has now replaced a vague Christianity as our nation’s civic religion....

The Justice System Is Rigged Against The RightOur justice system promises to treat everyone equally and be blind to political pressure. But taking over a government building as a protest is only illegal if you’re wearing a MAGA hat. The infamous “Zip Tie Guy” was denied bail this week. Eric Munchel, who went viral for carrying around zip ties during the Capitol riots, was deemed too much of a threat by a federal judge to be allowed out of jail. This order overrode a Tennessee judge granting bail to Munchel.Why was Munchel deemed a threat? According to federal prosecutors, the...

An Islamic scholar gave a controversial interview during which he asserted that Muslims should leave the west and return to their home countries, primarily to avoid their children being taught about LGBT issues. The comments were made by AbdulRahman Hassam during an appearance on a YouTube show called Al Madrasatu Al Umariyyah. “Anyone that knows they have the ability to migrate, go to their home country where they’re originally from,” said Hassam, adding that Muslims who remain in western countries are “sinning.” “You are giving your children to the enemies who are going to destroy your child’s mindset and thinking,”...

Stocks were rising Tuesday amid positive stimulus and vaccine news, while the GameStop trade appeared to run out of steam. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 238 points, or 0.8%. The S&P 500 futures rose 0.8% and the Nasdaq Composite was indicated to open up 0.75%.

RANSON, West Virginia -- Drive along U.S. 11 in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and here in West Virginia and you are pretty much roaming through the more conservative enclaves of the region. The road, one of the first north-south routes in the country, takes the traveler through places such as Chambersburg, Shippensburg, and Carlisle, Hagerstown and Martinsburg. The offramps wind down to treasures such as those here in Ranson. Drive too fast and you miss meeting some really great people or seeing some beautiful places, some gorgeous preservation projects that have brought homes and businesses back to life, some of which reflect...

At the same time, the singer said she isn’t sure she will accept the honor if Joe Biden were to offer it to her.
