The European Medicines Agency (EMA), which regulates drugs in the EU, on March 22 decided not to recommend the use of anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin for COVID-19 treatment. Ivermectin is used in treating Malaria. However, the EU drug regulator allowed the use of Ivermectin in well-designed clinical trials. The Europe drug regulator decision comes following the review of all the evidence from laboratory studies, observational studies, clinical trials and meta-analyses. In February this year, the US National Institute of Health (NIH), after a review of evidence said that there was insufficient data to recommend either for or against the use of...

Some would argue that the Bible says nothing about the explosion of the transgender phenomenon in the Western world. After all, there is no verse that says, “Thou shalt not transition from a man to a woman.” But neither are there any verses that talk explicitly about gun violence, anorexia, waterboarding, fossil fuels, vaccines, GMOs, HMOs, or Pokemon Go. We should not expect the Bible to speak in 21st century terms to every 21st-century eventuality. But that hardly means the Bible provides no guidance for Christians trying to make sense of our transgender moment. In fact, when it comes to...

Senator Bernie Sanders said recently that he’s not “comfortable” with former President Trump’s Twitter ban, arguing it could lead suppression of users across the political spectrum. The Vermont Independent found common ground with many Republicans who accused the social media network of left-leaning bias and political censorship after they banned Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack US Capitol riot. Sanders made the comments to New York Times columnist Ezra Klein Tuesday, after Trump aides announced the former president would soon return to social media with his own platform.

Compare WHAT? The heavily armed bank robbers in the 1997 N. Hollywood shootout with highly effective home-made BODY ARMOUR resulted in legal moves to restrict body armour for civilians, because they could be relatively immune to standard police issue ordnance like 9mm. The body armour wasn't defensive, it was designed to maximize the destruction. A Wuhan antidote BEFORE the outbreak can only mean a one-two knockout punch in the works. Adenovirus in samples the Chinese supplied, indicates there was a vaccine already present in the samples. (Note that the Chinese are slipshod and "too clever".) An antidote is consistent with...

Eight slain in Atlanta, now 10 in Boulder. Your town could be next. Can the nation finally do something about weapons of war on our streets? President Joe Biden called Tuesday for Congress to move immediately to “ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.” It’s a start, though he’ll have to reach across party lines for real this time, since some Democrats are as anti-gun-control as the bulk of today’s GOP. The New York Post does not see this as a conservative or liberal issue — it’s an issue of life and death. Curbing guns is what led to New York...

In the fall, after Samar Khan came down with a mild case of COVID-19, she expected to recover and return to her previous energetic life in Chicago. After all, she was just 25, and healthy. But weeks later, she said, “this weird constellation of symptoms began to set in.” She had blurred vision encircled with strange halos. She had ringing in her ears, and everything began to smell like cigarettes or Lysol. One leg started to tingle, and her hands would tremble while putting on eyeliner. She also developed “really intense brain fog,” she said. Trying to concentrate on a...

Is their anyone that can confirm or deny this please? Was just sent a message that a gag order was issued for the Border Patrol requiring all interviews to go through the White House for approval first.

There is no possibility that properly apprised of the contents of H.R. 1, the American people would approve of it.There is no evidence at all after 60 days of the new administration, of any disposition to collaborate with moderate Republicans in a centrist response to the many policy challenges the administration faces. President Biden remains the man who said of the hooliganism at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, that it was a “white supremacist” attack bungled by “white supremacist” Capitol police and directly incited by the outgoing president in an effort to overturn an election result which the...

Donald Trump changed a lot of things about the Republican Party, but one of the biggest favors he did social conservatives was refusing to be intimidated by the issues. He took on the abortion lobby, the gender wars, LGBT extremism, the cancel culture -- and never once apologized. Say what you will about his tone or methods, but Trump didn't shy away from the hard questions. After four years of that, most conservatives have lost the appetite for compromise. That's bad news for Republicans who don't have the stomach for those fights -- because there's one thing our movement isn't...

I believe the reason why the left wants to oppress whitey, is so that white people start to push back and represent themselves, at the expense of other people. If white people don't push back, the left is just as happy to eliminate them. I think the reason why the left keeps heaping unearned privileges to blacks is so that blacks end up hated again. Similar to how a drill sargeant might use barrack discipline on a particular soldier they want to bring into line by heaping privileges on him and heaping scorn on his bunkmates.

A woman was booted from a popular New York City food market for refusing to put on a mask and calling a bagel shop worker a “-–- --- -—-,” according to shocking footage obtained by The Post on Tuesday. The anti-masker, who had four children in tow, was repeatedly asked to put on a face-covering at the Davidovich Bakery stand inside Essex Market on the Lower East Side, where she was trying to order bagels on Sunday morning. In videos shot by a bystander, a security guard can be heard telling the woman a bakery worker wasn’t going to serve...

Rand Paul Dismantles Faucian Doublethink: ‘Where’s the Evidence?’Rand Paul – seemingly the only national-level politician with the moral fortitude to challenge unelected public health commissar Anthony Fauci – made a simple request in the most recent March 18th COVID Senate hearing: produce the evidence or, as the kids say, GTFO.“You’re telling everybody to wear a mask, whether they’ve had an infection or a vaccine… What studies do you have that people that have had the vaccine or have had the infection or the vaccine are spreading the infection? If we’re not spreading the infection, isn’t that just theater? You’ve had...

More than 200 Black Lives Matter protestors trapped customers inside a Wegmans grocery store in Rochester, New York on Tuesday afternoon. The incident comes a year after a black man named Daniel Prude died after an altercation with the Rochester Police Department. Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James said in February that no charges would be filed against the officers involved. Activists in attendance repeatedly yelled Prude’s name. “In the course of the investigation, the Office of the Attorney General concluded that there was sufficient evidence surrounding Mr. Prude’s death to warrant presenting the case to a grand jury,”...

Trump Considers Starting A Social Media Site; Twitter, Facebook Weigh Allowing Trump Back Former U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly mulling the possibility of starting his own social media platform as Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) and Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) consider whether to allow Trump to return to their platforms. What Happened: Twitter permanently banned Trump from its site while Facebook issued an indefinite suspension from the Facebook and Instagram platforms after the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill, making him the first world leader to be barred from social media. Trump senior advisor Jason Miller told Fox News that Trump is...

For most, death is no laughing matter. However, a Nebraska woman is flipping the script with an uproarious obituary that attributed her husband’s cause of death as being “dead sexy.” “We are not positive, but we think the cause of death was either leukemia or more likely being ‘dead sexy,'” wrote Omaha’s Crystal Sauser, 39, who called herself the “smoking hot wife” in the darkly humorous sendoff to her late hubby and “rockin’ dude” Eric. Her beau officially passed away on Feb. 26 at 43 from a recurrence of leukemia he contracted in 2018. According to Crystal, Eric hated when...

A consulting firm with ties to communist China is set to pay Nevada $45 million after it spread propaganda that contributed to the state’s opioid crisis.The state’s Democrat Attorney General Aaron Ford announced the settlement with McKinsey & Company on Monday, just one month he “opted out” of another settlement worth $573 million with 47 states and Washington D.C. over the opioid propaganda which would have left Nevada with a “woefully insufficient” $7 million.“Nevada is a hardest-hit state by the opioid crisis and is owed a great deal of compensation and justice,” Ford said in a press release, noting that...

Biden's China policy amounts to promising to 'work with allies,' but the American people deserve to know exactly what was accomplished by his administration at the Alaska summit.The Biden administration’s first high-level meeting with Communist China in Anchorage, Alaska, last week opened with a war of words, then closed with nothing meaningful to show in the end. Still, there are some critical takeaways from this important summit.1. Diplomacy Is Political Theater for Domestic AudiencesThe traditional understanding of diplomacy is that through dialogue and negotiations, countries seek to influence each other’s behaviors to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome while avoiding war....

The Republican-controlled Wisconsin state assembly on Tuesday passed a resolution to authorize an investigation into the 2020 presidential election. The resolution passed on a 58-35 party-line vote. The committee will now have subpoena power to compel testimony and gather documents. The Associated Press reported: The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Assembly passed a resolution Tuesday to authorize an investigation into the 2020 presidential election that President Joe Biden narrowly won in the state. The resolution, opposed by Democrats, is needed to give the committee authorization if it decides to issue subpoenas to compel testimony and gather documents, said Rep. Joe Sanfelippo. He is...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — George Segal, the banjo player turned actor who was nominated for an Oscar for 1966's “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” and starred in the ABC sitcom “The Goldbergs,” died Tuesday in Santa Rosa, California, his wife said. He was 87.

If you rely on The New York Times, the Democratic Party or CNN -- they are interchangeable -- for your perception of reality, you now believe America is reeling from the latest expression of white supremacy: Anti-Asian racism. It is a lie, the purpose of which is to: a) Further demonize America. b) Further demonize white Americans. c) Further divide Americans by race and ethnicity. d) Reinforce -- or create -- the belief among Asian Americans that they are widely hated (and must therefore rely on the government and especially the Democratic Party). e) Engender ethnic identity among Asian Americans,...
