BERLIN — Germany is extending its lockdown until April 18 and calling on citizens to stay at home for five days over the Easter holidays to try to break a third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, Chancellor Angela Merkel said early on Tuesday. In talks that ran deep into the night, Merkel pushed the leaders of Germany's 16 states to take a tougher stance to fight the pandemic, reversing plans for a gradual re-opening of the economy agreed earlier this month after a sharp rise in the infection rate. "We are now basically in a new pandemic. The British mutation...

....At first glance, the stance adopted by insurance giants might seem like a case of ideology trumping interests. Why would these corporations donate to a movement that had cost them billions, unless they had decided to put social justice over shareholders? But something funny happened: Shareholders didn't lose money from the unrest. Instead, insurance stocks rose in the face of riot-related payouts. Chubb and AIG finished 2020 in about the same financial condition they entered it, overcoming a COVID-induced shock that temporarily wiped out their gains from the previous year. That may be because the insurance industry stands to profit...

It also includes 3 in 10 who...

New Jersey residents likely will not see any new reopening announcements in the coming weeks as the state battles a surge in COVID-19 variants, Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday. The governor, speaking on CNN, said any further reopenings or capacity increases are on pause in the Garden State because of the increase in virus variants. “We’ve got these variants: whether they be Brazil, South Africa, UK, New York City, whatever it might be – they’re in New Jersey,” Murphy said. “We’re the densest state in America, we’re in the densest region in America. Plus, you combine that with the cold...

Illinois Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth said Tuesday that she will stall votes on President Biden’s nominees in protest of his lack of Asian American selections to cabinet-level jobs. Duckworth has the power to single-handedly tank contentious nominees in the evenly divided Senate, though some of Biden’s nominees have passed with significant Republican support. “There’s no AAPI representation in the cabinet. There’s not a single AAPI in a Cabinet position. That’s unacceptable,” Duckworth told reporters at the Capitol, using a term for Asian Americans a Pacific islanders. “I’ve been talking to them for months. And they’ve still not addressed it, so...

The first test of a project backed to spray millions of tonnes of chalk into the stratosphere, in an attempt to 'dim the sun' and cool the Earth, could happen in June. Harvard University experts will test the system by sending a large balloon 12 miles above the Swedish town of Kiruna and have it drop 2kg of chalk dust into the stratosphere. The aim of the estimated $3 million mission, backed by billionaire Bill Gates, is to have the chalk deflect a portion of the sun's radiation, stop it from hitting the surface, and cool the planet. The idea...

Barack Obama blamed the ISIS-inspired Boulder shooting on “disaffection, racism and misogyny,” and called for more gun control. “It is long past time for those with the power to fight this epidemic of gun violence to do so,” Obama said in a statement. “It will take time to root out the disaffection, racism and misogyny that fuels so many of these senseless acts of violence.”

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Tuesday that they are moving full steam ahead with plans to assess the implications of climate change to the financial system. “It is an exploration in understanding better what are the risks to the financial system. We feel like that’s our obligation,” Powell told the House Financial Services Committee in testimony. Yellen, testifying alongside Powell, said that financial institutions and regulators need to “better understand the risks that climate change poses to the health and resilience” of the financial system. Their commentary suggests that U.S. regulators will continue to...

VIDEOAfter over a month away from social media since he split Twitter on February 10 following his grand announcement of the Good Pillow company whose name now probably belongs to a gun company since he was too clueless to register it before announcing it to the world, David Hogg is back with a new shtick whose purpose is really to make you forget he ever ridiculously hyped pillows. Yes, in his grand return on March 23, gone was even the hint of PILLOWS which is apparently now a taboo subject for him. Instead he wants you to focus on peace...

In a recent video by the Jesuit magazine America, it is admitted that Vatican 2 and the New Mass of 1969 (Novus Ordo Missae) is a RUPTURE and that the Tridentine Catholic theology of the 16th century is no longer welcome by Modernist heresiarchs in the NewChurch. James Martin, Pope Francis, and the Jesuit complex infiltrating Rome don't want the Traditional Latin Mass for THEOLOGICAL REASONS. ...

Oh. Colorado mass killer Al-Issa’s identity “was known to the F.B.I. because he was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, according to law enforcement officials” https://

After 24 hours of the liberal media trying to blame the latest mass shooting on a white Trump Supporter, today it has come out that the suspected mass-shooter who killed 10 in Boulder, Colorado on Monday was not white at all, and was in fact a Syrian born nutcase named Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa.

Feverishly pushed fake news to amplify “white supremacy” moral panic. Leftists across Twitter, many of them journalists, scrambled to delete tweets after they falsely claimed the Boulder mass shooter, an Islamist from Syria who reportedly had ISIS sympathies, was “white.” Earlier today, the gunman was revealed as Ahmad Al-Issa, a migrant from Syria who routinely complained about Donald Trump, “racism” and “Islamophobia” on his Facebook page, which was swiftly deleted. Other reports also suggest that Al-Issa had ISIS sympathies and had planned to return to Syria. However, innumerable journalists and other leftist commentators were embarrassed after prematurely claiming that the...
