Pennsylvania’s next COVID-19 vaccine crisis may involve a lack of people who want vaccine rather than lack of vaccine. The solution will involve convincing people, especially in rural areas, that they want and need vaccine, according to Pennsylvania Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam. “How do we collectively partner on making sure folks understand that the facts and science are there, that the health and safety of our communities is reliant upon us getting vaccinated? And that the freedom that so many folks want, and the local control, will be facilitated best when we have the most folks vaccinated in...

Perhaps stupid is not the right word. Gullible is not right either. It's really hard to pinpoint the main reason behind the disastrous state of our country but the cold hard fact is that many Americans have fallen for two of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated by the left , the media and corrupt politicians..... President Trump was responsible for exposing the hoaxes by simply refusing to believe in them. I cheered when he nixed the Paris accord but he made his enemies here and abroad realize that he was too dangerous to survive.... Donald Trump's economy was too strong and...

Want to know how the US economy is doing? Forget fancy indicators like the GDP, industrial production and home sales. If you really want to know how consumers feel about our financial situation, just look at mason jar sales. It's true. Throughout history, when people grew worried about their own self-preservation, they eased their fears with food preservation. In wartime, Americans gardened and canned to not only proclaim their patriotism but to ease food rationing. The Energy Crisis of the '70s led to the "Great Canning Lid Shortage of 1975." And in 2020 - a year wracked by COVID-19 fears,...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report has confirmed that virtual school hurts the mental well-being and stability of children in comparison to school that takes place in person. The CDC surveyed over 1,200 parents with children aged between 5 and 12 years old, and they noted that virtual learners and their parents scored higher on 11 of the 17 stress indicators, which measures factors such as the mental health of children, levels of physical activity and the emotional distress of the parents. The research was conducted during Oct. 8 and Nov. 13, 2020, and 1,290 parents participated...

Cleveland Indians fans are about to meet the political correctness police as Opening Day arrives. The ball club is banning headdresses and face paint that mimic Native American headdresses or face paint. In fact, people can be ejected from or denied entrance to home games if they wear headdresses or face paint.

The madness continues on the southern border, particularly in Texas. We’ve already seen all of the horror stories of unaccompanied children being tossed over a ten-foot border wall by coyotes, leaving them on the ground for CBP to find. But now some of the immigration enforcement agents are reportedly too overwhelmed by the numbers to do even the minimal amount of processing work. According to an Associated Press report, entire families have been turned loose, not only without a court date but without any paperwork at all. Some haven’t even been fingerprinted or had their identity verified. So I take...

It turns out we have Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Parole Board to thank for that grotesque attack on a 65-year-old woman as she walked to church in Midtown Manhattan. The Monday morning assault in front of 360 West 43rd St. definitely counts as a hate crime, as police sources say the attacker yelled “F–k you, you don’t belong here” as he punched and kicked his Asian-American victim. But the folks blaming “white supremacy” are out of luck here; New York’s rush to empty its jails and prisons has a lot more to do with it. Arrested for the attack Wednesday morning...

In a Thursday interview on MSNBC’s “Stephanie Ruhle Reports,” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg discussed President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan. Host Stephanie Ruhle asked Buttigieg if he is “prepared” for Republicans to run against the tax hike being necessary to pay for the massive plan.

Easter is, of course, about much more than just bunnies and eggs. And for those of us who have been celebrating the entire season of Lent, it's especially important to remember Good Friday, when Christians around the world commemorate Jesus's greatest sacrifice. Whether you are celebrating with prayers and fasting, with church services, or simply by abstaining from any meat-based meals (whether that means fish, or going full-on vegetarian), it's appropriate to treat the day with solemnity before moving on to celebrate the resurrection on Easter Sunday. In that spirit, we're here to help you. You can learn a little...

President Joe Biden’s proposed $2.5 trillion infrastructure bill includes funds to actually destroy infrastructure, according to reports. The White House cited the Claiborne Expressway in New Orleans and Interstate 81 in Syracuse, New York, as two problematic highways going through black neighborhoods they would support destroying. Biden’s mention of the Claiborne Expressway thrilled New Orleans activist Amy Stelly who has worked to destroy the highway. “I’m floored,” she said to the Washington Post. “I’m thrilled to hear President Biden would call out the Claiborne Expressway as a racist highway.” The White House fact sheet plans $20 billion to “reconnect neighborhoods”...

As we continue to debate the wisdom or fairness of establishing a system of immunity passports allowing the vaccinated to return to normal life while the rest are left behind, one curious aspect of these proposed systems is coming to light. The New York Post editorial board points us to a few observations from Dominic Green at Spectator USA. One thing we know about the rollout of COVID vaccinations across the country is that white people are being vaccinated at significantly higher per capita rates than Blacks or Hispanics. Whether this is a result of greater rates of vaccine hesitancy...

Two episodes from the children’s cartoon “Spongebob Squarepants” have been pulled by Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon has pulled an episode of SpongeBob Squarepants “due to sensitivities surrounding the global, real-world pandemic,” Nickelodeon’s Executive Vice President of Communications David Bittler said. The episode, titled “Kwarantined Crab,” features a virus storyline, where a health inspector requires patrons to quarantine at the Krusty Krab after discovering a “clam flu” virus. Nickelodeon confirmed that a second episode, “Mid-Life Crustacean,” has also been removed from the network and other streaming platforms. In the episode, SpongeBob, his friend Patrick and SpongeBob’s boss Mr. Krabs, break into a woman’s...
