    It’s just the flu, bro. https://heavy.com/news/marvin-hagler-cause-of-death-controversy-tommy-hearns-blasts-covid-19-vaccine-claim/ Did Marvin Hagler die of Coronavirus vaccine? Thomas Hearns said his friend Hagler was in the hospital due to reaction to a vaccine. Just remember that a vaccine death is worth one tenth of that of a Coronavirus death. Those that die from the Coronavirus vaccine will be hidden from history. Nobody wants anything to do with that particular type of victim. - It’s almost the one year anniversary of “two weeks to flatten the curve”. Remember it’s been said that there is nothing more permanent than a temporary government program.

    Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi speaks during a news conference about the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package on Capitol Hill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday acknowledged the crisis surrounding the surge of children crossing the southern border — but blamed it on the Biden administration inheriting a “broken system” from former President Donald Trump. “The facts are these: there are more children. About 600, 700 more children, unaccompanied children, coming over the border. This is a humanitarian challenge to all of us,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on ABC News’ “This Week.” “What the administration has inherited is a broken...

    On the day after the inauguration (January 21st) JoeBama signed an Executive order on COVID worker Safety, weaponizing the Dept of Labor, OSHA. Literally word-for-word what CTH predicted the previous summer. [Predictions HERE and HERE] Included in that executive order was a deadline of March 15, 2021, for OSHA to determine if a national mandate for workers would be required. That deadline is tomorrow.The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency that rules over every single business entity in the U.S with employees. If OSHA determines masks are needed, then every operation that falls under the OSHA...

    The transformation from phony "objectivity" to open one-party orthodoxy hasn't been an improvement I collect Soviet newspapers. Years ago, I used to travel to Moscow’s Izmailovsky flea market every few weeks, hooking up with a dealer who crisscrossed the country digging up front pages from the Cold War era. I have Izvestia’s celebration of Gagarin’s flight, a Pravda account of a 1938 show trial, even an ancient copy of Ogonyek with Trotsky on the cover that someone must have taken a risk to keep. These relics, with dramatic block fonts and red highlights, are cool pieces of history. Not so...

    The Talk has canceled its two upcoming live shows after CBS launched a probe into Sharon Osbourne's bust up with Sheryl Underwood over Piers Morgan. It was revealed Sunday that the show will not air Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday's show is set to go ahead, Deadline reports. Journalist Elizabeth Vargas and singer Carly Pearce had both been scheduled to appear on the canceled shows. Osbourne had launched into a passionate defense of Morgan on Wednesday's The Talk, one day after she had also tweeted her support for him. Her resulting spat with co-host Underwood on the issue is now being...

    At least 15 people were shot, two of them fatally, inside a “pop-up party” early Sunday at a business that operates as a tow company and apparent event space on the South Side, Chicago police Superintendent David Brown said. Investigators believe the 4:40 a.m. shooting was “gang-related,” according to a Chicago police report citing preliminary information. Officers and firefighters responded to a business at 6798 S. South Chicago Ave. in the Park Manor neighborhood, according to police and fire officials. The report says a woman who was shot three times, including once in the head, was found dead outside the...

    A British farmer produces the world's most expensive milk - from horses and costing £13 a pint. Frank Shellard runs the only farm in Britain to commercially produce the alternative dairy product. He says he got the idea to cure his daughter's eczema. Frank's family business Combe Hay Mare’s Milk has fourteen mares producing 12-14 litres a day to make milk, hand cream and lotion. Frank says his mare’s milk is far sweeter, with a much lower fat content than cow milk - and says its drunk by over 30 million people around the world. Frank, 62, got the idea...

    SNIP Speaking during an unrelated press briefing Sunday in Midtown Manhattan, Gillibrand said she decided to finally come out against Cuomo because she felt it was important that New York be led by someone able to give the pandemic their undivided attention. “Every situation is different,” said Gillibrand, asked how the allegations against Cuomo compared to the accusations against Franken, who ultimately did resign after multiple women accused him of inappropriate physical contact. SNIP “Because of the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it’s clear that Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners as well as...

    Controversial legislation to overhaul voting by mail in Georgia and how voters can cast early ballots is racing toward the finish line in the General Assembly amid a sharp outcry from local voting-rights and church groups. Two bills, both proposing dozens of changes to Georgia’s election system, recently cleared major hurdles in the current legislative session and are on a collision course to final passage as top lawmakers in the state Senate and House of Representatives decide which measures to keep and which to scrap. Most likely on the chopping block is a proposal to end Georgians’ ability to vote...

    The Gun Owners’ Action League and others are protesting proposed increases in MassWildlife’s freshwater fishing, hunting and trapping license fees — with some rates jumping 200% or more. “This dramatic increase request comes at a rather troubling time,” the league said in a statement. “It is GOAL’s opinion that before we agree to any further fee increases, some serious issues need to be addressed.” Under the proposal, a fishing license for a Massachusetts resident would increase from $22.50 to $40 per year. The costs of licenses and permits to hunt bear, turkey, pheasant, waterfowl, small game and deer, including archery...

    Programmer Laszlo Hanyecz has become well-known in crypto circles after making headlines for trading 10,000 bitcoin for two Papa John's pizzas on May 22, 2010. The day is now referred to as "Bitcoin Pizza Day" and is the most celebrated date in the crypto calendar, as Insider previously reported. Thanks to Saturday's record-breaking price of $60,000, Hanyecz's stash would now be worth $613 million (or £440 million, per Sky News.) The cryptocurrency, which has a market capitalization of more than $1.1 trillion, has been buoyed by investor optimism. Earlier this week, President Joe Biden signed a $1.9 trillion relief bill...

    California schools are using COVID relief payments for teacher bonuses and a union has jokingly requested a trip to Hawaii using the money - even as classrooms are still closed, internal memos have revealed. The memos, shared online by the group Reopen California Schools, appear to show that some school districts have been using state and federal COVID relief money on educator bonuses instead of getting kids back into classrooms.
