Let us notice this morning how modern man has made a god of science. It was quite easy for modern man to put his ultimate faith in science because science had brought about such remarkable advances, such tangible and amazing victories. He realized that man through his scientific genius had dwarfed distances and placed time in chains. He noticed the new comforts that had been brought about by science, from the vast improvements in communication to the elimination of many dread plagues and diseases. And so after noticing these astounding successes modern man ushered in a new god and a...

One of the very first men canonized by the high priests of the church of BLM was Michael Brown. Described in media reports as a “gentle giant,” and hailed as a promising young man and valuable member of his community, Brown died while assaulting a police officer and trying to take his gun. George Floyd, whose death at the hands of police is being adjudicated as we speak, died while resisting arrest and high on a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl. His rap sheet included the home invasion armed robbery of a woman. Another canonized (though still living) saint, Jacob...

One of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s favorite expressions is “real time,” as in something actually happening at the moment. Well, as a second dry winter has occurred and precious little rain and snow fell, the drought is suddenly real time for Central Valley growers. They face the prospect of not having enough water deliveries for their crops.That is exactly why Newsom should issue an emergency declaration. The crisis Valley farmers face is real, as is the threat to the farm-based economy of California’s heartland.SEVERE WATER CUTSIt is most dire in the central San Joaquin Valley and south. Growers in the Westlands...

A majority of Americans — 59 percent — approve of President Biden's handling of his job as he approaches 100 days in office, according to a Pew Research Center poll released Friday.

Gavin Newsom stood on a boat ramp at Lake Oroville on Tuesday — a boat ramp that couldn't reach the water because the reservoir was nearly 60% empty — and acknowledged what many Californians already know.© FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/TNS A sign calls for solving California's water crisis on the outskirts of Buttonwillow in California's Kern County on April 2, 2021, one of the top agriculture producing counties in the San Joaquin Valley where dairy, grapes, almonds, strawberries, and pistachios contribute billions to the economy each year."We're in the second year of these drought conditions," he said.But Newsom, who was...

Killer T cells surround a cancer cell. Credit: NIH ========================================================= ANSTO has contributed to a comprehensive investigation of a promising type of nanoparticle that could potentially be used for intractable brain cancers in a combined therapy. The study, which was led by Dr. Moeava Tehei and researchers from the University of Wollongong in combination with clinical partners, characterized and evaluated the properties of nanoparticles made from lanthanum manganite, that were doped with silver atoms. The investigators found that the nanoparticles had potential clinical application for their synergistic effects to be used in combination with radiation treatment, hyperthermia (using heat to...

A Mississippi man who experienced a blood clot after receiving the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, has been left paralyzed on one side and unable to talk, his family said. Brad Malagarie, 43, of St. Martin, suffered a stroke soon after stepping out last week to get the one-dose shot, news station WLOX reported. “They called me and said he had that vaccine and something is wrong, we think it’s a stroke,” his aunt, Celeste Foster O’Keefe, told the outlet. The father of seven was rushed to the hospital, where it was determined that he had a stroke as a...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that he hopes all of California's schools are open for in-person learning in the fall, but stopped short of a guarantee, stating, "Mandates are not as often looked on as favorably as you might think."Public health experts now say schools can reopen safely for in-person learning with modifications, and while Newsom has come under fire for past mandates to close businesses and require mask-wearing in public, he expressed reticence to mandate a return to in-person learning.Some were perplexed as to why Newsom stopped short of this guarantee for the fall, a time that even...

There has been a floodgate of news in past few days exposing how the fascists in the establishment media and social media are purposely manipulating their news reports to push disinformation and leftist propaganda on the American public. There can be no denial anymore that the today’s media is not interested in reporting the truth to fully inform the American public, but instead has become a tool of a fascist ruling class to control the American public by the dissemination of propaganda. The scandal is not just that these so-called “journalists”feel no shame in their blatant attempts to manipulate public...

The U.S. has been flying blind in the race between vaccination efforts and the spread of new coronavirus variants that could potentially spark another deadly nationwide surge and reduce effectiveness of the vaccines. U.S. public health officials have been operating with incomplete information because of an inadequate viral genomics surveillance system. When the U.K. variant first emerged, the viral surveillance system in the U.S. was woefully lacking in resources, especially compared with other countries. Pierce noted that one area that needs immediate attention is the sequencing of every "breakthrough case," which are cases in which people get infected even though...

Cop Watch​ has obtained body camera footage of an interaction with the Town of Windsor Police in Virginia where Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario was pulled over for speeding.

People forget that cops have to react to whatever it is a perpetrator is doing. It takes more time to react to an action. In this case, it took eight-tenths of a second to react, but that was enough time for Adam Toledo to have gotten off a shot from his gun. Loesch may as well have asked why Michael Brown start beating Darren Wilson. Why did Trayvon Martin start beating George Zimmerman? Why wouldn’t George Floyd allow the cops to arrest him and sort it out later? Unpopular questions. Kudos to Dana Loesch for asking a few of them...

President Joe Biden ordered flags lowered to half-staff at the White House and public buildings Friday following yet another mass shooting event in the country – this time at an Indiana FedEx facility. The president said he and Vice President Kamala Harris have been briefed by their security team on the incident 'where a lone gunman murdered eight people and wounded several more in the dark of night.' His statement comes after he has already ordered flags at half staff for prior mass shootings in Atlanta and Colorado, and amid an ongoing impasse in Congress that has prevented a legislative...

An unfolding case at Smith College shows how the obsession with race can blind administrators to facts and lead them to act in ways that harm innocent people. In 2018, Oumou Kanoute, a black student at Smith College, claimed that she was harassed by a janitor and police officer who had accused her of trespassing while eating inside a dormitory lounge. The story went viral with coverage from CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, and the American Civil Liberties Union came to her assistance, claiming that she had been targeted for “eating while black.” Because of the...

Law enforcement sources tell @NBCNews the FedEx shooting suspect has been identified as 20-year-old Brandon Scott Hole

President Biden on Friday condemned the deadly FedEx rampage that left eight people dead in Indiana as “the latest in a string of tragedies” that have become all “too normal” in the US. Repeating his call for more weapons control legislation, the president added in the prepared statement, “Gun violence is an epidemic in America.

The gunman in the FedEx shooting spree was previously known to federal and local authorities — and had been flagged up to law enforcement by a concerned family member before the deadly attack, according to a report Friday. The suspect, who committed suicide after killing eight at the Indiana facility Thursday night, has not been publicly identified by police. But CNN reporter Ana Cabrera said he’s no stranger to law enforcement. “Authorities were warned about FedEx suspect’s potential for violence in the past, sources say,” Cabrera tweeted. “The suspect in the Indianapolis mass shooting was known to federal and local...
