At least 15 people have died and more than 50 others hospitalized in Tanzania from a terrifying mystery illness that causes patients to vomit blood, according to reports. Some of the patients, mostly male, died within hours of developing symptoms in the southern Mbeya region of the country, the Sun reported. Felista Kisandu, the local chief medical officer, said a team of experts have been dispatched to assess the patients and investigate the cause of their illness. “This problem has not been widespread,” Kisandu said. “It has happened in just a single administrative ward of Ifumbo where people vomit blood...

“All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working hours or shorter rations. And even when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because, being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances. The larger evils invariably escaped their notice.”—George Orwell, 1984 Let’s be clear about one thing: the impeachment of Donald Trump is a waste of time and money. Impeaching Trump will accomplish very little, and it will not in any way improve the plight...

Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested that Americans will need to keep wearing face masks until COVID-19 “is not a threat at all” during a Monday afternoon appearance on Fox News’ “Special Report.” “Is there going to be a time when we are going to be, no masks?” anchor Bret Baier asked during the interview. “When is that time? If you had to guess, going to a sports game, going to a theater, going to a concert without a mask?”

The Little Menace To Society moves the goal posts one more time. – Anthony Fauci was in the news again on Tuesday, performing his duty as the chief propagandist for the COVID-based fascist/socialist takeover of the United States. In an appearance with Bret Baier on Fox News’ “Special Report,” Fauci moved the goal posts down the field again related to how long Americans must keep wearing their masks in public once again. The new goal? When the viral gift from China “is not a threat at all.”

If you’re going to shoot at the king, you better make sure you kill him. – The RINO wing of the Republican Party was gleeful just a month ago with the thought that the impeachment scam in which they were coordinating with the Democrats would do away with Donald Trump’s political career once and for all. Mitch McConnell was only too happy to voice his support for this most recent chapter in the DC Swamp’s never-ending coup against the former President, and 11 RINOs in the House volunteered to have their names forever stamped onto the sham as a seal...

Norm Eisen, who was a counsel to House Democrats during the first Trump impeachment, has become a CNN legal "analyst." Listen to him on CNN today squealing in outrage about Republican senators who won't vote to convict, claiming THEY are on trial.

>“Tons of aid”? Please read this before you repeat that statement: Myth: Israel Is the Largest Beneficiary of US Military Aid The aid that Israel does receive has strings attached to it that no other recipient has, such as the requirement that a minimum of 75% of the aid must be spent on US-made equipment. The remaining 25% may be used on non-US-made equipment only with US government approval. (This will increase until the figure is 100% by the end of the period of the current MOU.) US-made equipment that has become obsolete or obsolescent and is to be replaced...

Democrat, POTUS, Joe Biden will deliver his 2021 "State Of The Union" address on February 23, 2021. Will his remarks be longer then 20 minutes, will wife, Jill Biden be there to assist him, and will millions of Americans just simply skip the boring event and not tune in at all on TV, ETC.!!! What say you, folks?

Aunt Jemima is making her last batch of pancakes. Quaker Oats said Tuesday that its Aunt Jemima brand pancake mix and syrup will be renamed Pearl Milling Company. Aunt Jemima products will continue to be sold until June, when the packaging will officially change over. Quaker Oats, a division of PepsiCo Inc., had announced last June that it would retire the Aunt Jemima brand, saying the character’s origins are “based on a racial stereotype.” A former slave, Nancy Green, became the first face of the pancake products in 1890. Quaker Oats bought the Aunt Jemima brand in 1925 and had...

The Democrats’ political drama, which is playing out in the Senate, is useful for distinguishing the good guys from the bad guys (and Trump isn’t the bad guy). I didn’t watch the impeachment proceedings because I was away from my office. Even if I’d been in my office, I wouldn’t have watched. What’s happening in the Senate has nothing to do with anything Trump did. Instead, it reflects the Deep State’s desire to erase Trump from American history as surely as the Egyptians once erased Hatshepsut, a powerful female pharaoh who ruled 3,500 years ago and whose successor tried to...

Former-president Donald Trump’s Senate trial for his January 6 speech “inciting” a riot at the US Capitol rests on the claim that he lied about vote fraud in the November election. Put aside that Trump asked “everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically, make your voices heard." That he only wanted them to show their support for legislators who were supporting him. That the assault on the Capitol's security lines started before Trump began speaking.While Trump’s questioning the integrity of the November election “incited” violence, President Biden can liken Senators Ted Cruz...

Mark Cuban decided before the start of the NBA season that the national anthem would not be played before Dallas Mavericks games, according to The Athletic. So far, it has not been played before the franchise's 13 preseason and regular season home games. This is believed to be the first instance of a professional team getting rid of the U.S. national anthem from the pre-game, according to The Athletic. Major League Soccer did not play the anthem during a tournament in 2020 in Orlando that did not have fans present, but teams have since started playing it prior to their...

Two professional football teams left New York for another state – but the New York Stock Exchange? That is a possibility if the Empire State imposes a transfer tax on stock sales, according to the exchange's president. In a Tuesday op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, NYSE President Stacey Cunningham said she and 25 other representatives of New York's securities industry sent a letter to state legislative leaders warning against the unintended consequences of imposing such a tax. "The New York Stock Exchange belongs in New York," Cunningham said. "If Albany lawmakers get their way, however, the center of the...

"Rebuild better" the left says, suggesting a demolition of what we currently have. I say, start with Human Resources Departments. President Biden, his administration, and many others in the US and elsewhere are suggesting that modern Western capitalism is so bad that it needs to be dismantled and replaced with something else. "Rebuild better" they say, which -- among other things -- suggests a demolition of what we currently have. They are partially right. There are some things that exist in America, today, that are so detrimental to our national freedom and well-being that need to be dismantled, but the...

The BLM high school curriculum offers a way to embed the activist group’s agenda in all subjects. February is Black History Month, and the push to inject Black Lives Matter curriculum into America’s K-12 schools is in high gear. In the fight for racial justice, the slogan “black lives matter” is a reasonable mantra that focusses on equality; creating a fair and inclusive society is indeed a very worthy goal. But “Black Lives Matter” the activist organization with a registered political action committee is a different matter entirely. And it’s Black Lives Matter the political organization that is pushing an...

A recent Reuters headline read, "Yellen, Rice tout economics as key to fixing American inequality." According to Susan Rice, President Joe Biden's new domestic policy adviser, "The evidence is clear, investing in equity is good for economic growth." Our new Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, says, "I believe economic policy can be a potent tool to improve society. We can -- and should -- use it to address inequality, racism ..." I couldn't agree more. According to the Federal Reserve's most recent Survey of Consumer Finances, the median wealth of white families is $188,200, compared with $24,100 for Black families. To...

I think some of the probably most relevant information for readers is some of the primary documents that I released for the first time, from somebody who was in the membership process for one of the largest Antifa groups in the U.S. You will see in there that the curriculum includes the radicalization process that lasts for nearly half the year. So they really subject their recruits to really intense indoctrination and brainwashing. And, as part of the curriculum, they also train them on how to hurt and maim and injure their opponents, and also how to take up arms.

Chad Pergram: 1) From colleague David Spunt and me: Multiple sources have told Fox they are having a challenging time bringing homicide charges in connection with the death of USCP Officer Brian Sicknick. Sicknick died just after the riot. No cause of death has been given. 2) Fox was told immediately after Sicknick’s death that authorities would treat the probe as a homicide investigation. It is unclear if Sicknick died from exposure to chemical irritants, a blow to the head or something else. 3) Sicknick’s remains were cremated before he laid in honor in the Capitol Rotunda last week. The...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.ibtimes.com/dont-let-long-covid-fall-through-cracks-who-warns-3141567 Let’s not forget about the debilitating affects of “Long Covid”. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210202/Evidence-that-Long-COVID-19-impacts-children.aspx And also let’s not forget about Long Covid and children. I wondered what Big Corona will do after the deaths and testing dry up. Well the Flubro thread has the answer - Long Covid! Long Covid is the largely fictional term for the long term affect that Coronavirus has on people, including children. Treating people with Long Covid could surely take decades. I mentioned the children but I forgot about the women and the minorities. The Washington Post has noted the effects of...

Maxine Waters is a darling of the liberal media. Last October, Washington Post pop culture reporter Helena Andrews-Dyer (and co-author R. Eric Thomas) put together a book titled "Reclaiming Her Time: The Power of Maxine Waters." The publisher touts: "In the tradition of 'Notorious RBG,' a lively, beautifully designed, full-color illustrated celebration of the life, wisdom, wit, legacy, and fearless style of iconic American Congresswoman Maxine Waters." She's "iconic." Naturally, The Washington Post book review gushed over this sticky Maxine valentine by one of its reporters. "There's also plenty of funny on these pages," wrote Karin Tanabe. "The writers are...
