The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the agent responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that continues to ravage the globe and has now caused more than 2.67 million deaths. An in-depth investigation is now underway in Brittany after genomic sequencing identified eight carriers of the variant among a cluster of 79 cases in the town of Lannion in the Côtes d'Armor on the 13th of...

On Monday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show,” White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said he doesn’t think the United States made mistakes with lockdowns. Host Hugh Hewitt asked, “If you’re studying the data, have you led to any conclusion on lockdowns? Because we have some states like California that went in hard for lockdowns, they’re not doing any better, indeed, they might be doing worse than Florida, which did not go in for lockdowns at all. So, the sunk costs on lockdown are enormous and prevent people from dealing with it objectively. But you understand sunk costs. Did we make...

The federal prosecutor who said Donald Trump could face charges in the riot at the U.S. Capitol was not authorized to speak out, and his remarks caused uproar at the Justice Department, according to a new report. Michael Sherwin, the Trump-appointed former acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, broke protocol by not seeking department approval for the interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday, people briefed on the matter told CNN. The remarks reportedly infuriated senior officials in the department, where new Attorney General Merrick Garland is pushing for a 'no drama' policy and discouraging comments on active investigations.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is being compared by several conservatives to the late Sen. Joe McCarthy (R-Wis.), known for his communist witch hunt in the 1950s, according to a New York Times article published on Sunday. The Republicans told the news outlet that Johnson’s promotion of false theories on the coronavirus, the COVID-19 vaccination efforts and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot remind them of Wisconsin’s infamous former senator, who in the 1940s and '50s publicly accused a number of government workers of being communists, leading to many losing their jobs. Former Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), who retired from Congress this...

“Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell” (Proverbs 23:13-14 KJV).

Skip A pattern has emerged. An academic, often from a theologically liberal persuasion, paints a caricature of "Christian nationalism" that is clearly outside the lines of orthodox Christianity. Celebrity pastors and writers then point to that distorted definition, label any related viewpoints as heresy and call for all evangelicals to practice discernment or repent of compromising political idolatry. They point to inappropriate, but mostly anomalous, displays of Christian symbolism in political settings. Few pause long enough to consider what millions of Christians might actually mean when we say that America is a "Christian nation," or champion viewpoints that accord with...

Sitting in a barrel chest-high in ice cubes seems more like torture than a birthday treat. But not for Wim Hof. The eccentric Dutchman, who celebrated his 61st birthday last year by spending 61 minutes in ice, has gone from stuntman caricature to wellness guru during the pandemic. His techniques, combining hypoxic breathing with ice baths and cold showers, have been adopted by a cult following of extreme athletes and tech entrepreneurs. Scientists are studying his almost superhuman ability to eliminate fear and control his immune response. For years, the Iceman, as Mr. Hof is called, gained publicity—and some ridicule—for...

Right-wing lawyer Sidney Powell is claiming in a new court filing that reasonable people wouldn't have believed as fact her assertions of fraud after the 2020 presidential election. The election infrastructure company Dominion Voting Systems sued Powell for defamation after she pushed lawsuits and made appearances in conservative media on behalf of then-President Donald Trump to sow doubt about the 2020 election results. Dominion claims that Powell knew her election fraud accusations were false and hurtful to the company. In a new court filing, Powell's attorneys write that she was sharing her "opinion" and that the public could reach "their...

Streaming KeyOnline piracy and the Internet-based services and networks that they rely upon are inextricably linked.
