GENEVA — A top World Health Organization expert on the coronavirus pandemic said Monday the weekly global count of deaths from COVID-19 is rising again, a “worrying sign” after about six weeks of declines. Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead on COVID-19 at the UN health agency, said the growth followed a fifth straight week of confirmed cases increasing worldwide. She said the number of reported cases went up up in four of the WHO’s six regions, though there were significant variations within each region.

You might remember the corrupt Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby who attempted to make a national name for herself in the prosecution of the “Baltimore Six”; six police officers she charged in the death of Freddie Gray back in 2015. As Baltimore burned amid political fuel driven by Black Lives Matter, Mosby was the lead narrative engineer who attempted to frame the six police officers for the death of Gray until her fraudulent charges collapsed in the first two officer trials which resulted in acquittal. According to recent media reports Marilyn Mosby and her husband, Nick Mosby, the Baltimore city counsel...

For salty snack lovers, March 23 is a day you may not want to miss — it’s National Chip and Dip Day. There’s much to celebrate about this perfect pairing. Not only are the two snack items delicious when served together; chips and dip are also an easy-to-prepare appetizer, snack and even a meal when no one else is around. (It’s OK; we’ve all done it.) In the early days, chips usually referred to potato chips, but these days chips can be made of tortillas, beans, corn, pita or any number of vegetables. Their partner in caloric crime — the...

Former President Barack Obama on Tuesday called for stricter gun laws following the mass shooting in Colorado, bemoaning what he called a national tolerance for "these kinds of random, senseless acts." Obama said in a statement that he and former first lady Michelle Obama are grieving with the families of the victims of Monday's massacre in Boulder, but also said they "are also feeling a deep, familiar outrage" for these types of tragedies. The statement by the former president came shortly before President Joe Biden publicly commented on the shooting, which took place at grocery store and left 10 dead,...

The organization behind the so-far successful effort to recall Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom is now facing charges of racism for language used on its website and on social media, including calling the coronavirus — which originated in Wuhan, China — the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus.

President Biden on Tuesday called on Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and to close loopholes in the background check system after a gunman killed 10 people at a grocery store in Boulder, Colo. “I don’t need to wait another minute let alone an hour to take common sense steps that will save lives in the future and to urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to act,” Biden said in remarks at the White House Tuesday afternoon. Biden called on the Senate to “immediately pass” two House-passed bills that would expand background checks for firearm sales....

Shaving company Harry’s appears to have taken the complaints of a Twitter user with only two followers seriously when shaving off its professional relationship with a conservative personality. A Twitter account named Avi Das (@flyingsodacan1) — created in December 2020 — trigger-tweeted at Harry’s whining about its sponsorship of The Daily Wire host Michael Knowles. The account bleated, “@harrys is sponsoring Michael Knowles. The same @michaeljknowles who is spreading homophobic and transphobic content. He had Joesph [sic] Nicolosi jr as a guest on his show and equates being trans to having schizophrenia. It is wrong that Harry’s or anyone sponsors...

While the U.S.’ response to the coronavirus pandemic has been met with criticism both domestically and internationally, the U.S. has fared better than Europe when it comes to vaccine distribution. While Israel decided to buy enough vaccine doses relative to its population and has created an electronic medical-record system and the United Kingdom has also done well in distributing the vaccine, the U.S. is outpacing members of the European Union. Former President Donald Trump launched Operation Warp Speed (OWS) which has led to three vaccines getting emergency use authorization and more than 44 million Americans being vaccinated. While the U.S....

Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday announced a major clean energy initiative that he said will produce nearly 50% of the state government’s electricity through new solar energy arrays. Wolf said Pennsylvania PULSE (Project to Utilize Light and Solar Energy) will go into operation Jan. 1, 2023. According to the governor, the project is the largest solar commitment by any government in the U.S. announced to date. Solar arrays will be built in seven locations in six counties: York, Juniata, Columbia, Montour, Northumberland and Snyder. The total 191-megawatt project is expected to deliver 361,000 megawatt hours of electricity per year. "This...

I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe, as many do, that America is too smug, too white-bread, too self-satisfied, too rich … then let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. History shows that nations are more fragile than their citizens think. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and they all fall, and that "an autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide." So here is my plan: 1. We must first make America a bilingual/bicultural country. History shows...

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa was identified Tuesday as the alleged Colorado supermarket shooter who killed 10 people including a police officer — as authorities vowed to bring the “evildoer” to justice.

Meena Harris is Kamala Harris’ niece. So we weren’t entirely surprised to see her jump on the ‘white man bad and evil’ bandwagon exploiting the tragic shooting at a King Soopers in Boulder, CO on Monday afternoon. She tweeted this … The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country. — Meena Harris (@meenaharris) March 22, 2021 Oops, she deleted it. Probably because the gunman’s name is Ahmad, which is not exactly the Jim Bob she and the rest of the vultures on the Left were hoping for so...

Some 42% of U.S. adults reported packing on undesired weight since the start of the pandemic, according to a recent poll from the American Psychological Association. The poll found that adults who reported undesired weight gain packed on an average 29 pounds during the pandemic. Gen Z Adults aged 18 to 24 fared the worst, with 52% of respondents in the age group saying they gained undesired weight since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic....

Part II: "Modus Operandi" In 1928, HG Wells published a book entitled The Open Conspiracy. The book at the time was not widely distributed or well known in comparison to his novels. However, this was one of the more important writings Wells penned; and not because it was by any means for the good. No, but rather, had the book been both circulated and understood at the time, the light of liberty may possibly have been prolonged for a season. In Part I, the idea of the Open Conspiracy and what it constitutes is revealed. In this continuation from the...

Several prominent physicians, doctors, Sons of Liberty Media Health and Wellness expert Kate Shemirani, her colleague Dr. Kevin Corbett, and I have postulated that the current experimental mRNA injection for coronavirus, aka COVID-19, could alter one’s genetic code or DNA. Bill Gates stated it, which was included in my video “Human Genome 8 and mRNA Vaccine” on Brighteon.com. It is one reason the term “experimental human genome altering mRNA injection” has been used to describe the jab being foisted onto the mostly unsuspecting public.While many in the media, Dr. Anthony Fauci and his merry band of chronic liars, and “fact...

An increasing number of Americans are engaging in more activities in the last month alone as the world passed the one-year mark of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, an Axios/Ipsos survey released Tuesday showed. The survey, taken March 19-22 among 995 U.S. adults, asked respondents to indicate their habits, asking if they have gone out to eat or visited friends or relatives in the last week.

BOISE — On Friday morning the House Education Committee voted unanimously to introduce a bill to prohibit schools from teaching students about “racist or sexist concepts.” Any school violating this could be subject to a withholding of up to 10% of funding from the State Board of Education. Committee Democrats walked out of the hearing in a show of opposition. They did not participate in the vote. ....Snip.... According to the bill, some of the things public schools, charter schools and any state higher education institute would no longer be allowed to teach students include: - An individual’s race or...

At least 10 people have been killed, including a police officer, in a shooting at a supermarket in the US city of Boulder, Colorado less than a week after eight people were shot dead in the US city of Atlanta.

Alissa, who was shot in the leg, was in stable condition at an area hospital and was expected to be released later Tuesday, officials said. Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said...

(Excerpt from the middle as the beginning is just about the person who got the part) The decision to give Wes and Elijah a racial identity—and to have them talk about what it’s like to be Black in America—represents a marked shift in approach. “After last summer with the racial unrest that happened and the murder of George Floyd, we collectively as an organization decided that the only way that we could go about dismantling racism was by being bold and explicit,” says Kay Wilson Stallings, the executive vice president of creative and production for Sesame Workshop. “People were working...
