NEW YORK — One year ago, Governor Andrew Cuomo’s performance at COVID-19’s onset made him the darling of the American Left. Some considered him a potential white knight who could rescue Democrats, if the other presidential candidates stumbled.Today, Cuomo is a failed jockey atop a crippled donkey. His skull pounds from ethics headaches tied to COVID deaths in nursing homes, a cover-up of related fatality data, and matching migraines stemming from sexual-harassment allegations. Amid calls for his resignation or impeachment, Cuomo recently moaned, “I am not part of the political club.”This whine was shocking, coming from a governor, former state...

Why is sugar not transparent? Because light that penetrates a piece of sugar is scattered, altered and deflected in a highly complicated way. However, as a research team from TU Wien (Vienna) and Utrecht University (Netherlands) has now been able to show, there is a class of very special light waves for which this does not apply: for any specific disordered medium—such as the sugar cube you may just have put in your coffee—tailor-made light beams can be constructed that are practically not changed by this medium, but only attenuated. The light beam penetrates the medium, and a light pattern...

Joe Gutierrez who ain't "white" exposes BLM faux narrative about so-called "black & Brown"Virginia Cop Joe Gutierrez Fired After Pepper-Spraying Black Army Lt. Nazario By Christina Zhao on 4/11/21 AT 10:49 PM EDT A Windsor, Virginia police officer who escalated a traffic stop of a Black and Latino Army Lieutenant has been fired from the force. The proregressive narrative and BLM and its supporters of "equal" victimhood VS facts, such as the Joe Gutierrez case and others. Disingenuous CNN carefully only mentioned the color and ethnicity of Nazario. Not of "brown" Gutierrez, the cop. Of course. Second Lt. Caron Nazario,...

The path to progress is definitely not paved by destroying the epistemological framework bequeathed to us by the Enlightenment. Yet it is important to understand why many young people are more attracted to social justice-based decolonization demands than to Enlightenment era intellectual advancements. Social justice ideology appeals to young adults’ desire to establish their identity, independent from their parents, and an ideology that represents itself as subversive is compelling. Also, as young people become aware of injustices, they are understandably captivated by a movement that represents itself as the most righteous way to advocate for justice. For these reasons, it...

White House adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci told MSNBC on Sunday it's "still not" acceptable for Americans to eat indoors, even after they've received the COVID-19 vaccine. His comments come after he and other government experts have seemingly moved the pandemic goal posts for some time now. "Drinking indoors, restaurants, and bars. Is that OK now?" host Mehdi Hasan asked the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director. "No, it's still not," Fauci said. "For the simple reason that level of infection, the dynamics of infection in the community are still really disturbingly high." Fauci said there were 80,000 new...

Men were falling away from church life. As sedentary life was becoming an industrial revolution norm, due to advances in technology and improving economic mobility, religious leaders introduced sports, fitness, adventure, and social justice as way to reconnect boys and men to the church. This explains the partnering of church life with the YMCA, the Boy Scouts, outdoor camps, and enlisting men in the Social Gospel Movement. As Clifford Putney explains in his book, Muscular Christianity, by 1899 women comprised three-quarters of Protestant church membership and nine-tenths of its attendance. Recent studies on gender disparities in American churches report that...

The NCAA, which regulates college athletics in the U.S., backed transgender athletes Monday, saying it won’t hold championship events in locations that aren’t “free of discrimination.” As Republicans in more than two dozen states target transgender athletes, the NCAA Board of Governors said it "firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports." It said its "more inclusive" policy for transgender athletes, which requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women's sports, means “inclusion and fairness can coexist for all student-athletes, including transgender athletes, at all levels of sport.” The board said...

A video out of Chile shows an elderly woman being refused entry to a supermarket because she didn’t obtain the necessary government permission to buy groceries under the country’s lockdown rules. The clip shows the woman, who is apparently 100-years-old, appearing to be confused as she is denied access by security guards in uniform. “Unfortunately government measures are not intended for the most vulnerable, not everyone handles the technology, not everyone has access to the internet,” tweeted Radio Villa Francia along with the video. n Chile, people have to apply for a “safe conduct pass” online, which only allows them...

Rumors are rife that Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will turn control of the Vancouver International Airport over to Communist China this week. Count on Canadian mainstream media, who won’t be reporting on it, tagging all rumors as “conspiracy”. We already know that Trudeau’s Liberal Government forces all travellers coming to Canada through airports including Toronto’s Pearson International Airport into government-sanctioned hotels for quarantine due to the Covid-19 virus.

In a bold move, United Airlines declared that “diversity is at the forefront” of its pilot program and pledged that 50% of their new 5,000 pilots will either be women or people of color. You have to admire the insanity of that plan because it is so incredibly stupid that you know a liberal was involved in its conception. I can just imagine the meeting at United that birthed the concept of making flight deck diversity Job #1. Scotty woke up one morning and wanted to make some changes. Scotty: “Does anyone have an idea of how to destroy United?...

Sen. Ted Cruz said Americans and Israelis will be murdered as result of the Biden administration’s decision to send hundreds of millions of dollars to Palestinians. On Wednesday, the White House announced it would provide $250 million to Palestinians, despite the Taylor Force Act that prevents U.S. taxpayer dollars from supporting the Palestinian Authority while it pays stipends and pensions to terrorists and their families. “We’re sending American taxpayer funds to the Palestinian Authority so they can fund terrorists and as a result of Joe Biden’s decision, Americans will die. Israelis will die. This money that Joe Biden is sending...
