They are finally here. New York is officially the first state to launch a so-called “vaccine passport” program, empowering various businesses and public entities to easily deny residents service on the basis of whether or not they have received a COVID-19 vaccine. The “Excelsior Pass” program bills itself as a “free, fast and secure way to present digital proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative test results” with either a smartphone app that displays a scannable QR code or a code printed on a sheet of paper. While New Yorkers are not yet legally required to participate, business owners and venue...

NYPD says 65-year-old Asian American woman was walking to church this morning when suspect assaulted her and said “f*** you, you don’t belong here.” Happened in front of 360 W. 43rd St. 11:40am.

The incident was reported Monday in front of West 43rd Street just before noon. Authorities say the 65-year-old victim was punched and kicked until she fell...

The Jewish people are commonly referred to as the, “Chosen people”; and to this the scriptures attest. It is important to understand, however, that although being chosen certainly can be a blessing, it can also be a curse, as was the case with Judas. Saul also was chosen, nonetheless, what began with an anointing of the Lord ended with being cut-off. On the other hand, David being chosen prevailed greatly and pleased God. Thus, the promise was given, that through his seed Messiah would come. When God chooses a person, or a people, there is then a responsibility of those...

Radical Democrats, not content to control all three electoral elements of the federal government, are urging that two new states, Puerto Rico and Washington D.C., be added to the union. Legislation to make Washington D.C, a state has already been drawn up. Given that Democrats control both D.C., and Puerto Rico overwhelmingly, this would insure at least four more permanently Democrat controlled seats in the U.S. Senate, thus potentially ensuring Democrat control of that body for generations. Democrats correctly view the nineteen months between now and the 2022 Congressional elections as their window of opportunity to consolidate their electoral stranglehold...

A man is dead after he was shot and killed while shooting a video campaign about gun violence in the city. The shooting happened around 8:00 p.m. Monday night in North Philadelphia on the 1900 block of Page Street. Police say the victim, a 55-year-old man, was shot multiple times next to his work van. Officials say the man was there to interview family members of victims of gun violence. So far, no arrests, and police say they don't yet know why the victim was shot

The latest $1.9 trillion stimulus package that was passed and signed into law includes a policy that will directly temper rising healthcare costs for some Americans. The provision, supported by President Biden, caps the proportion of income Americans can be charged for health insurance premiums through the Obamacare exchanges. The unintended consequences of injecting more government into healthcare are well documented and should trigger skepticism, but the goal of taming runaway prices is laudable. Americans currently pay some of the highest medical costs in the world. Rather than applying even more government controls to the system, Biden and Congress would...

More than anyone else in America, these two professional liars are responsible for the abject failures by governors all over the country to effectively deal with the viral gift from China and its impacts on our society. Their dishonesty and self-interested pronouncements on the virus gave license to Democrat governors all over America to deny Americans their constitutional rights, destroy businesses, deprive people of work and deny our children the right to an education for more than a year now.

It’s just the flu, bro. https://news.yahoo.com/biden-administration-tries-to-build-dam-against-fourth-coronavirus-wave-174607443.html Biden officials concerned about a fourth Coronavirus wave. “Impending doom” is the phrase the CDC official was quoted as using. - A quick reference to yesterday’s Flubro thread...dozens of replies and not a single comment about the science article I posted describing how the material in disposable masks can make penises smaller. The lack of smart ass comments by Freepers and Flubros related to the shrinking penis sizes is the most shocking (and a bit disappointing) thing I have seen on Freerepublic in a long time. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3946190/posts Biden says states should pause reopening....

Source: Photo by Salena ZitoNEW CASTLE, Pennsylvania -- For over 100 years, the sprawling Shenango China plant warmly greeted just about every person who entered this Lawrence County city. Its 30 acres of multipane windows reflected off the Shenango River when they entered the city. It was one of the largest dinnerware manufacturers in the country. China made here was hailed for its craftsmanship. It graced middle-class family tables and the state dining rooms of Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson. The plant was a place where skilled artisans and union labor workers made a good...

Video footage posted online shows a Virginia high school teacher appearing to berate a student for not acknowledging the race of two girls seen in a presentation slide. The video, taken from a lecture at a Loudoun County Public School in Ashburn and posted on YouTube, shows a slide with two girls – one, a redheaded white girl, the other, a Black girl – standing back-to-back with the caption, “What is race?”

“He who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow-workers” (1 Corinthians 3:8-9). Humble teamwork in ministry gives God all the glory and promotes humility. Paul’s agricultural illustration of planting and watering makes it clear that the ministry works best in a team concept and that all credit for results must go to God. Paul (the one planting) and Apollos (the one watering) had done their God-appointed work faithfully and well, but they had to wait on the Lord for whatever was accomplished. Paul...

Conservatives often speak of Judeo-Christian values and how the current civil war in the United States and the rest of the West is essentially a battle between those values and the left, which rejects Judeo-Christian values. They are right. But they rarely explain what Judeo-Christian values are. Yet, without an explanation, mentioning Judeo-Christian values is useless. So, let me do that now. First, a word about the term. Some Jews and Christians find the term confusing, if not objectionable, since Judaism and Christianity have different theologies. But no one speaks of Judeo-Christian theology, only of Judeo-Christian values. Judeo-Christian values are...

Biden intends to mandate Covid vaccine “passports” for every American. Why? It is becoming increasingly clear that part of the global left’s master plan to institute absolute control over the world’s population is to mandate their still-experimental vaccines for all of us even though Covid is a very treatable disease from which nearly 98.5% of those afflicted recover. Given that fact, there are many millions of people who will not willingly submit to any medically intrusive procedure without doing their own research. SNIP Those of us old enough to remember some of the most egregious “scientific” experiments on people (Tuskeegee,...

The Constitution wasn’t set up as a talisman, its very presence sufficient to thwart the evil of ambitious men and women. It is a tool, bequeathed to us with the presumption that we would learn how to use it properly and fulfill our destiny. The late Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin used to tell a story of imprisonment, based perhaps on his own. He said that once behind bars, the prisoner thinks of nothing but freedom, of escaping. Because of this, cruelly sophisticated jailers introduce water into the cell. Now, the enslaved puts freedom off for the moment, seeking first...

I have no idea who said it, it’s been attributed to a lot of people, but I love the saying, “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” It’s funny because it’s true. It’s important for the same reason. Throughout my career in policy and politics I have been lucky to work and become friends with some really smart people (make no mistake, there were a lot of dumb ones too). As they have moved on to other jobs, they still write some brilliant columns that do what all good columns do: make you think.One...

FEMA said the COVID-19 funeral assistance program will be implemented starting in April and applications will be accepted at that time. They are currently working to establish a phone number where applications can be filed.

I’m having a problem deciding whether the Biden administration is stupid or evil or just flat-out afraid of us Commoners. And then I realized that it’s all three. Here’s why. Our liberal friends never imagined that a Trump could happen. Nothing in their world prepared them for him. So what happens when you are confronted by something completely unexpected? You stop dead in your tracks. That is one of the basic themes in Jordan B. Peterson’s oeuvre. As he writes in Beyond Order. 12 More Rules for Life: Many herbivores, comparatively defenseless, facing imminent and brutal death, freeze in place,...

VIDEOMany people are scratching their heads over the drama queen antics of CDC Director Rochelle Walensky. However it all makes sense when you realize that she was actually auditioning for a role in a William Castle movie. The film will be quite frightening so should you need medical attention while watching it, a CDC nurse will be standing by in the lobby to administer emergency treatment.

hmmmm, Interesting statement. Of course I'm sure it was not his intention, cough...cough, but that's a thumbs up from AOC and Cameltoe.
