Came across this YouTube video not long ago. I feel she makes a lot of good points? Was very surprising. I felt well informed.

Iranian politician Alireza Zakani, head of the Majles Research Center said in the wake of the April 11 blast in the Natanz nuclear facility that Iran must increase uranium enrichment to more than 60%. He made these remarks in an interview that aired on Ofogh TV (Iran) on April 12, 2021.

Zakani said that the 20%...

Soaring lumber prices are holding back a U.S. housing market. The number of building permits issued in March rose 2.7% month over month to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 1.766 million.

Typically, building begins within two months of issuance, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Some developers have "held back on projects on the expectation that prices will soon fall back," wrote Matthew Pointon, senior property economist at the research...

Less than 5 minutes from getting God knows what injected inside them the two people to my left starting having seizures. First the gentlemen in the red car was watching in shock as the driver next to him was having a seizure. Little did he know he would have one right after him. I called the medics to help him. They have a procedure where after you get the shot you have to wait in the car for 15 min and if something goes wrong to honk your horn and someone will show up. Well these folks to my left...

None of the blood types — A, B, AB or O — was linked with their risk of becoming infected, need for hospitalisation or intensive care, according to a report published in JAMA Network Open.

“Witnesses: From Jerusalem to Worms to America” (Luke 24:36-49) The disciples were in Jerusalem. They think that Jesus, their master, is dead and buried. Then suddenly Jesus is standing there in the room, and they don’t know what to think: “Is that really him? Are we imagining this? Is that his ghost? What’s going on here?” Then Jesus speaks: “Why are you confused? Didn’t I tell you I would rise on the third day? Well, here I am. So you think I’m a ghost, do you? Look, see my hands and my feet.

Yesterday an intrepid reporter asked the insufferable Jen Psaki about U.N. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield’s assertion that America’s founding documents are white supremacist. Doesn’t that echo Chinese Communist propaganda, as in the recent diplomatic debacle in Anchorage? Does Joe Biden intend to fire Thomas-Greenfield?

It takes some doing, but the answer to that last question is Yes: The White House is now supporting the Chinese Communist Party line that our founding documents are racist. It cannot be overstated how...

Some Michigan day care owners are questioning the practicality of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s latest mandate: masks for 2-year-olds. “That will be difficult. Very, very difficult and very challenging for these little ones to wear the masks,” Juanita Castillo-Rowan, 47-year owner of Small Folks Development Center in Lansing, told WWMT. On Friday, Whitmer’s administration made mask order to include children as young as two. Kids under five were previously exempt. “We have to be very careful about how we explain it to them, it’ll be like, ‘We start with we wash our hands, because we want to keep everybody safe...
