The clinical trial results on the use of anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin as a treatment for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) could be expected by January 2022 or by first quarter of 2022, a top official of the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD) said Monday, May 3. DOST-PCHRD Executive Director Dr. Jaime C. Montoya said preparations were underway to ensure the smooth conduct of the clinical trial, which will likely be conducted by end of May or first week of June. "The clinical trial may be completed before the end of year, but of course, the...

President Joe Biden unleashed a flurry of 94 executive actions on immigration in his first 100 days, according to an analysis by the Migration Policy Institute. The president and his administration moved quickly to dismantle immigration enforcement measures put into place by former President Donald Trump, opening up the border to more illegal aliens and noncitizens. Unattended migrants continue to rush the border after Biden ended Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy and other measures to reduce the flow of noncitizens crossing the border. Under Biden, the Department of Homeland Security ordered Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stop targeting illegal...

Thousands of women have reported changes to their monthly cycle after getting the COVID vaccine. Anne Thompson received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine April 12, on what should have been the last day of her period. “I continued to have spotting the entire time. And now two weeks post getting the vaccine, I think it was three days ago, I started my period again,” Thompson said. Her next period came a week a half early, prompting Thompson to wonder if the vaccine had somehow impacted her menstrual cycle. One woman emailed NBC 5’s Lauren Petty and said she...

Meghan McCain told her co-hosts on Thursday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View” that the Biden administration’s messaging on wearing masks and the coronavirus vaccine was “psychotic.” McCain said, “Honestly, when we were first talking about vaccine hesitancy on this show, a lot of it centered around minority populations who were hesitant because of the Tuskegee experiment. The narrative and feeling coming out was compassion and trying to convince people in a way of empathy that we all are in this together. We should get vaccinated together. It was effective. The message to Republicans is, you dumb hillbillies stay away from...

The Biden Administration's American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 provides loan forgiveness of up to 120% (i.e., a borrower can get 20% more than they received from the federal government during the pandemic) to farmers who are Black, American Indian or Alaskan native, Hispanic or Latino, and Asian American or Pacific Islander. Whites aren't eligible for this program. Plaintiffs from Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota and Ohio contend that using race to determine who receives the benefits of a program aimed at aiding farmers hurt by the economic shutdowns imposed in the effort to combat COVID is "unconstitutional." President and General...

During Monday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) urged Republican lawmakers to “move on” from questioning the 2020 presidential election results. With the Democratic Party “moving more progressive,” Flake suggested “there is plenty of room” for the GOP to “do well in the midterms.” He said to do so, the party would need to quit the “craziness of questioning the last election and going after” people who have spoken out against former President Donald Trump.

It wasn’t even close. In fact, the record-breaking election participation in Southlake, Texas, is being heralded as a roadmap for conservatives to take back control of their local governments, including mayor’s offices, city councils, and all-important school boards. The race received national attention with Critical Race Theory the top agenda item on the ballot. A proposal by the school board included massive changes to the way racism is handled in schools, including mandatory and ongoing “diversity training” for students and faculty that almost certainly would have been a variation of the “White Fragility” training made famous by Cultural Marxist Robin...

France is investigating five cases of myocarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle – which were detected in people who had received Pfizer/BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine. Several cases of myocarditis were detected in Israel after a second dose of the vaccine, which led ANSM Monitoring Committee “to re-examine the data on inflammation of both the heart muscle and the pericardium collected by the regional pharmacovigilance centres (CRPV) in France since the start of the vaccination campaign.”

Calls are mounting for Disneyland's new Snow White ride to be canceled over claims the "true love's kiss" scene isn't "woke" enough. A revamped version of the famous ride is drawing backlash for portraying the classic scene from the movie, which has now been deemed "offensive" by the cancel cops.

Joe and Jill Biden are visiting an elementary school and community college in Virginia today to promote his sweeping economic proposals and how they would benefit schools if signed into law. The trip is part of the “Getting America Back on Track” tour aimed at highlighting the President’s “accomplishments” within his first 100 days in office and making the case for his ambitious new spending proposals focused on infrastructure, climate, education, child care, and paid family leave. The duo visited an elementary school in Yorktown this morning when Joe was in top shape once again. Biden asked the children if...

Two organizations owned by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg have partnered with Former President George W. Bush to push for mass migration and amnesty for illegal aliens, policies which favor the political left and Big Tech corporations. George W. Bush told radio host Hugh Hewitt, during an April 22 interview, that “the Bush Center is spearheading a reform movement” concerning mass migration. The former president added, “And you know, we’re talking to people about, you know, what needs to be done.” The Zuckerberg-owned organization listed on the George W. Bush Presidential Center’s webpage for immigration policy under “Program Partners” is the...

The Daily Caller’s Caity McDuffee talked to Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria” and Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo about her recent trip to the southern border where she had to go undercover to get inside a migrant facility. “I went undercover. So I got there and I had my phone in my pocket, so we were rolling because I didn’t want to break any rules but the truth is American people need to understand what’s going on,” she said. “We went into a building called the Delphi Emergency Facility, that’s where they were housing 17-year-old boys and...

A progressive friend and I were discussing higher education this morning. The topic was, of course, the political leanings of professors. She told me she thought there was a “lean” towards progressivism at most colleges but that it was likely closer to even between conservatives and progressives at elite schools like Harvard. I laughed, saying it’s probably even worse at schools like Harvard because the lifetime academia who find their way there work through a network of which I am very familiar. Only the brightest radical leftist minds can get a full-time gig as a professor at Harvard, I told...

@Liz_Cheney The 2020 presidential election was not stolen. Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.

"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." - John 14:13-14Everyone struggles with prayer. Whether you are a life-long Christian or someone new to the faith, frustration with our prayer lives is common. We have all had experiences of praying for something or someone and finding little realization to our requests. Thomas Merton once wrote that, in prayer, we will always be nothing more than beginners (Merton, Contemplative Prayer). So, if you have ever...

Last month, the Arizona Senate leadership hired a team of independent auditors to complete a “comprehensive, full forensic audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, including a hand recount of all ballots.” The state Democratic Party tried and failed to stop it, and now it is expanding and may go beyond its original deadline. “The audit will validate every area of the voting process to ensure the integrity of the vote,” Arizona Senate Republicans said in a statement. “The scope of work will include, but is not limited to, scanning all the ballots, a full manual recount, auditing the...

A top Republican who ran for president in 2016 appears to be gearing up for another run in 2024. Or at least he's keeping his options open based on what Donald Trump may or may not do. Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio appeared to strongly suggest on Monday that he may be interested in running for president in 2024. “It’s possible that at some point in the future, down the road, two, four, six, eight, 10 [years], I don’t know when, that I will find myself in a position and want to pursue it, because I’ve done it in the...

Basecamp is remote work software that provides a single online environment in which workers on a single project can consolidate everything they do on that project. No matter where you are, there's a virtual meeting space in cyberspace. That's pretty cool. What's really cool about Basecamp, though, is its CEO's new rule: people may not discuss politics at work. With that single announcement, a third of the workforce quit. Other American corporations should follow suit.After "a contentious all-hands meeting," the Basecamp CEO and one of its founders, Jason Fried, posted a lengthy statement online detailing the new policies that he...
