Chase Bank has abruptly stopped a pro-Trump coffee company from using its payment processing service, WePay, and is currently preventing them from withdrawing any funds.Covfefe Coffee, founded in 2018, brands itself as “Coffee For Deplorables By Deplorables.” The company, which says their goal is to “provide proud to Americans access to world-class coffee without having to fund your political and cultural opponents,” was informed via email on Wednesday that they would no longer be able to use their payment processing service because payments were “for one or more of the activities prohibited by” their terms of service.“Unfortunately, you will no...

WisDOT has wrapped up its long-awaited reconstruction of Interstate 94 between Milwaukee and the Illinois state line on schedule and on budget. Michael Pyritz, regional communications manager for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s southeast region, said work on the final 18.5-mile stretch of the reconstruction project was deemed “substantially complete” earlier this week. He said WisDOT’s goal all along was to have that section finished by the start of summer. He also said the project, which was overseen by Michels Corp., appears to have remained within the department’s $410 million project or even come in below it, although some work...

In December, I wrote about a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing focused on testimony about potential early and outpatient treatments for COVID-19. A group of doctors detailed their research on ivermectin, a generic anti-parasitic drug:The medication being discussed in this hearing is ivermectin. It has not been studied as much as HCQ, but the results to date are encouraging. The witnesses have studies covering over 4,000 patients in various settings but cannot obtain a review through the NIH. They asked for the committee’s assistance with this and noted that funding for additional studies is not readily available....

The United States Space Force put out a video documenting its first "Guardians" going through Basic Training. Obstacle courses, drill instructors, classroom time, and other training are shown in the video. It's one of the saddest training videos Angry Drill SGT has ever seen, and he breaks it down the only way he can.VIDEO[Strong language alert]

Our American medical system with its deep pool of highly trained specialists, the best in the world when it accrued inside a culture of science and learning, is Humpty Dumpty falling off the wall. It has had to focus its priority away from the doctor-patient relationship and more toward appeasing ever-expanding federal and bureaucratic control. Doctors and patients are pawns caught in a game of power. All the king's horses and all the king's men, so they say...but is there any way to save the best parts of our health care? As the federal government hurtles toward a Medicaid-for-all system,...

Days after eliminating tens of thousands of jobs by terminating the Keystone Pipeline and halting drilling on Federal Lands, Joe Biden gave a speech in which he said “Today is ‘Climate Day’ at the White House and -- which means that today is ‘Jobs Day’ at the White House.’” He explained that he would hire Americans to modernize the infrastructure so that it can withstand the increase in hurricanes resulting from global warming. As is true for all of his climate policies, this is delusional.Increased hurricanes resulting from global warming? In the 51 years from 1915, 19 major hurricanes hit...

I recently watched a few videos online that purport to predict the near future. Prediction is an understandable desire, especially as the domestic and geopolitical situations have become very critical and complex. It is more important than ever to anticipate the next major event, so as to act accordingly. The problem with most of these videos, however, is that they did not even make correct predictions about 2020. By now, President Trump was supposed to have gotten us into a nuclear war with North Korea. Indeed, according to many, in 2016, Trump would never be elected president. Say what they...

Several Republican witnesses claimed that, after the cut-off for ballots arrived in Detroit, Michigan, truckloads of late-arriving ballots showed up at the TCF Center, where votes were being counted. Immediately after these ballots arrived, President Trump abruptly lost his lead of over 100,000 votes. The Gateway Pundit website now claims that the TCF Center finally released security footage showing that these witnesses were telling the truth.The TCF Center was the site of some peculiar activity even before the center was supposed to close to newly submitted ballots. It was here that Detroit City Officials covered windows with cardboard to prevent...

Alison Collins, the Vice President of the San Francisco Board of Education, has been leading a push to eliminate standardized testing as part of the admissions process at San Francisco’s most prestigious high school. Lowell High School has long been one of the top performing high schools in the country but its student body is majority Asian and white. Collins’ proposal would instead use a lottery system for admissions. For decades Lowell High School — one of the top-performing public schools in the country — has been considered a point of pride for the district and the city, something of...

For some inexplicable reason, Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate can’t seem to move beyond Trump, despite maintaining the House and winning the Senate and the presidency. They assured the American people that if they were to win, their primary focus would be governing, but clearly, that isn’t the case at all.

Had the Moderna vaccine injected on Thursday afternoon at Publix store by a pharmacist. Injection site was sore for 24 hours. Now 48 hours later most pain and soreness has disappeared. No fever, no fainting spells, no racing heart, no other symptoms. Actually did my daily treadmill yesterday but avoided lifting weights. Today I intend to do both at the gym. I am 80 years old, in very good physical condition with no comorbidities. My spouse also had the Moderna vaccine with me, and she also has very little soreness remaining at the injection site. She has stage-4 cancer and...

In view of the increasing failures of national, state, local government from San Jose, CA to Sweden to protect their citizens from thugs, both secular and religious, where do innocent people turn when the institutions designed to serve the community fail to do so, or worse, actually turn against the people?From my last post, John Locke explained in Chapter XIX of his Second Treatise, the legislative power, or, simply the legislative, granted by society to government is the essence of republicanism. When any force, from outside or within, alters the legislative, government is dissolved. Locke writes:“When the legislative or executive...

The government poured $18.5 billion into vaccines, a strategy that resulted in at least five effective products at record-shattering speed. But its investment in drugs was far smaller, about $8.2 billion, most of which went to just a few candidates, such as monoclonal antibodies. Studies of other drugs were poorly organized. The result was that many promising drugs that could stop the disease early, called antivirals, were neglected. Their trials have stalled, either because researchers couldn’t find enough funding or enough patients to participate. “I blame myself to some extent,” said Dr. Woodcock, who has overseen the federal government’s efforts...

It fits on a human fingertip, but this chameleon could make a big splash. Scientists from Madagascar and Germany say a newly discovered species of chameleon is a contender for the title of world’s smallest reptile. Frank Glaw, who was part of the international team of researchers that classified the new species and named it Brookesia nana said the body of the male specimen appeared to be just 13.5-millimeters-long (a little more than a 1/2-inch.) That’s at least 1.5 millimeters smaller than the previous record holder, another member of the Brookesia family. Glaw, a reptile expert at the Bavarian State...

An incredible new video by Wooz News using various camera angles from the Capitol “insurrection” and shooting suggests something is very wrong with the narrative. https://youtu.be/OWqFauy0EiA
