Doctors fighting COVID-19 should be supported by their profession and their government, not suppressed. Yet today physicians are smothered under a wave of censorship. With coronavirus variants and vaccine hesitancy threatening a prolonged pandemic, the National Institutes of Health and the broader U.S. medical establishment should free doctors to treat this terrible disease with effective medicines. For centuries, doctors have addressed emerging health threats by prescribing existing drugs for new uses, observing the results, and communicating to their peers and the public what seems to work. In a pandemic, precious time and lives can be lost by an insistence on...

Chinese authorities recently launched a door-to-door COVID-19 vaccination program in Chaoyang District, in the capital city of Beijing. Some residents shared their concerns with The Epoch Times over their distrust of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its propaganda about COVID-19 vaccines and the pandemic. Mainland Chinese media reported on March 10 that Beijing’s Chaoyang District began a new door-to-door vaccination program in residential communities and villages. The program is also carried out in five types of places such as government offices, the Central Business District (CBD), industrial parks, business offices, and school campuses. Chaoyang is where international companies, foreign...

Almost half of former President Trump’s supporters don’t plan to take a CCP virus vaccine according to a poll by NPR, PBS, and Marist. The poll indicates that 47 percent of people who identified themselves as Trump supporters would not want to be vaccinated when the doses became available to them. Upon widening the demographics, the survey found that 41 percent of Republicans would not take the vaccine, compared to only 11 percent of Democrats saying they wouldn’t take it. In total, about two-thirds of Americans polled said that they’ve already taken a vaccine or would take one when they...

In their drive for world dominance, the Chinese Communists have been pushing their “authoritarian methods” on the world as a substitute for the supposed “failed leadership” of the United States. The ChiComs have invested enormous resources in the numerous foreign language versions of their state-run media (e.g., China Daily, XinhuaNet, and People’s Daily) to spread agit-prop around the world attempting to convince other countries of their beneficence and altruism. They also exploit “trusted agents” in Western media to routinely parrot that same propaganda. However, the ChiComs have been caught out in committing genocide against Uyghur Muslims in Western China/Eastern Turkistan....

TORONTO -- An Ontario driver said she's been left traumatized and fearing for her safety after her Hyundai SUV randomly slammed on the brakes on its own multiple times. Unionville resident Erica Mesa spent $47,000 on a new Hyundai Tucson in July 2019 and had no issues with the vehicle until three months later when she was driving to Blue Mountain in Collingwood. The 25-year-old said she was driving on the highway with four other people when a light came on falsely indicating she was in danger of a front-end collision. Seconds later, the brakes slammed on and the vehicle...

When a Democrat resorts to blaming “cancel culture,” the writing is well and truly on the wall. A struggling Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) held a press conference on Friday after New York Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jerry Nadler, both Democrats, added their voices to a rising chorus of 117 state legislators demanding the governor resign amid sexual assault allegations and the COVID-19 nursing home scandal. Cuomo again denied the allegations and condemned what he described as a “reckless” rush to conclusions.“Politicians who don’t know a single fact but yet form a conclusion and an opinion are in my opinion reckless...

2001 FO32 won't come any closer than 1.25 million miles There is no present threat of a collision with Earth, nor will there be for centuries to come. That said, 2001 FO32's path will present astronomers with a rare opportunity to closely observe the planetoid because 1.25 million miles is still relatively close in astronomical terms. NASA explained that this technicality is the reason why the asteroid has been designated "potentially hazardous" and the agency assured that NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) works to "help precisely characterize every NEO’s orbit to improve long-term hazard...

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Facing unprecedented political isolation, a defiant New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo insisted on Friday that he would not step down in the wake of sexual harassment allegations and condemned the expansive coalition of Democrats calling for his resignation as “reckless and dangerous." By day's end, the three-term Democratic governor had lost the support of almost his state's entire congressional delegation. None of the defections hurt more than those of New York's two U.S. senators, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. “Due to the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it is clear...

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday dined with National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman Rick Scott (R-Fla.), a Trump adviser confirmed to The Epoch Times. The meeting took place on the heels of a spat with the NRSC and the Republican National Committee (RNC) over the use of Trump’s name and likeness to raise funds, especially considering the committees’ ongoing support of incumbents who backed Trump’s impeachment. The group includes Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), whom Trump vowed to oppose in the primary. During the dinner with Scott, Trump would not budge on opposing Murkowski, according to the adviser. Politico was...

CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A group deciding the fates of dozens of Chicago statues and monuments met for the first time Thursday night. The Chicago Monuments Project advisory panel is weighing opinions and considering arguments for and against statues, like the Columbus statue. After protesters tried to pull down the Columbus statue in Grant Park last summer, the Mayor had it and others removed, at least temporarily. Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa said at the time it had to come down. ""When you have a statue in a place of honor, you are saying that is someone that should be celebrated....Christopher Columbus...

Oregon Democrats have introduced legislation that would give $123,000 in reparations to black Oregonians over the course of their lives. According to a copy of the state Senate bill, the government will pay six figures to any person who can demonstrate that they are a descendant of American slaves and have “identified as African-American” on legal documents. The text of the bill directs the state Department of Revenue to establish a reparations payment program to black Oregonians “who can demonstrate heritage in slavery” and provide documentation that they identify as “African-American” for at least 10 years. Recipients must reside in...

The upcoming Bee Gees biopic is set to be directed by award-winning actor and writer Kenneth Branagh, industry publication Deadline reported. The project took shape in 2019 when Graham King, who produced the award-winning Queen movie Bohemian Rhapsody, arranged a deal with the Gibb family, securing the services of surviving band member Barry Gibb as executive producer. Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment became a 25 percent partner and the movie house Sister – established by veterans Elisabeth Murdoch, Stacey Snider and Jane Featherstone – were signed up, too. Deadline noted that Gibb was “very involved in the narrative,” which is being...

[Catholic Caucus] IMPORTANT! -- Francis Effect: The End of the Traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter's Basilica The Traditional Mass used to be celebrated hidden, out of sight, in the crypt of the Vatican Basilica (the Hungarian Chapel) from the days of the motu proprio Ecclesia Dei to Summorum.Since the 2007 motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, which recognized that the Traditional Mass had never been abrogated (and in fact could never be so), many priests who have celebrated in the several side altars of St. Peter's have done so by using the 1962 Missal. And it was celebrated daily in...

When I first heard the news about Milo Yiannopoulos repenting of his homosexual lifestyle, I was overjoyed because I have been praying for Milo to turn from his sin and find freedom in Christ. I also know he's been struggling with this for a long time. While I often pray generally for the lost to be saved and for Christians to turn from habitual sins, I leave it to the Holy Spirit to impress upon me the need to fervently pray for specific people when it comes to sin and salvation. Typically, I've met them, and once I got to...
