A new study of COVID-19 vaccine recipients globally should give the public health community a reason to reevaluate recommendations that everyone needs to be vaccinated regardless of prior infection with the virus. The researchers surveyed slightly more than 2,000 self-reporting vaccinated individuals who were at least seven days past their first vaccine dose and monitored their reports of side effects and their severity through the vaccination process. They compared the results for recovered patients with a confirmed COVID-19 PCR or antigen test with those who had not had COVID-19. From the study (emphasis mine):People with prior COVID-19 exposure were largely...

Donald Trump is celebrating following news that one of the swampiest Republicans in the country will not be seeking re-election. "He was the one who, along with Governor Brian Kemp, stopped the Georgia State Senate from doing the job they wanted to do on the 2020 Presidential Election Fraud. Duncan's fight against Election Fraud made him unelectable. His former top aide, Chip Lake, said that the Lieutenant Governor would not win another term in office. Lake said, 'I think he was an accident, and this is what happens when accidents happen in politics. They become one and done,'" he added....

Wednesday, MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough sounded off on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) opposition to proposed legislation to form a January 6 commission to investigate the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Scarborough accused members of the GOP of “lying” about wanting transparency in the riot because they are “following the ring leader of the conspiracy to commit sedition.” He asserted that the rioters were looking to “hurt people” and “kill cops” on that day.

A startling admission that China is fighting a "biological war" with the U.S. comes from a video made by a top Chinese academic, trying to persuade the Chinese people that U.S.'s day is over, that our system is outmoded and unsuccessful, and that China is victorious.The professor who made the startling claim that China has won the "trade war, science & technology war and especially the biological war" looks like a heavy-duty insider who may well be part of the team that manages China's bid to displace the United States as the world's hegemon.His main argument is that the Western...

The Scottsdale Unified School District Board meeting in Arizona was shut down on Tuesday night after cowardly board members abandoned their post. The meeting ended before it started after many parents refused to wear face coverings. Most of the parents were not wearing masks and the school board ordered them to put masks on before the meeting began. Parents refused to comply and they argued with the board for about 20 minutes. The board then tried threatening the parents by saying they will be escorted out of the building if they did not comply. The parents stood their ground, causing...

With more than 100 U.S. colleges mandating COVID vaccines for in-person attendance and schools enforcing mask mandates, it’s critical people understand their rights. The bottom line is this: mandating products authorized for Emergency Use Authorization status (EUA) violates federal law as detailed in the following legal notifications.

What sort of goals would make it worthwhile to hang out with a convicted child sex offender if you are a megalomaniac billionaire? The curious case of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates just got curiouser. Anonymous sources, denials, millions of dollars in donations, and claims of lies surround a 2013 visit of Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein to the Strasbourg home of the then-chairman of Norway’s Nobel Committee, which awards the Peace Prize. The visit was uncovered by Norwegian business daily DN, whose sister publication describes in English the visit and its denial:Former Nobel Committee chair Thorbjørn...

US President Joe Biden has told Israel's prime minister he expects to see a significant de-escalation in its conflict with Hamas today. In what will be seen as Biden's toughest public pressure on the US ally so far, the White House said the president asked Mr Netanyahu in a telephone call to move toward "the path to a cease-fire". However, there remains little sign of a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza after more than a week of cross-border attacks. After Israeli's N12 TV news channel said fighting could end on Thursday morning, a member of Hamas's political bureau, Ezzat El-Reshiq,...

Biden was slammed after joking about running over a journalist who wanted to ask him a thorny question about Israel. While test-driving the Ford F-150 at the carmaker's factory in Michigan, Biden pulled up alongside a group of reporters to show off his driving skills. 'Mr. President, can I ask you a quick question on Israel before you drive away since it's so important?' a reporter asked. 'No you can't. Not unless you get in front of the car as I step on it,' Biden replied. His remarks were blasted on Twitter by political observers who said if his predecessor...

VIDEOTen year old fourth grade student John Provenzano spoke up at his Martin County, FL school board meeting on May 12 about their mandatory school board policy. As you can see he gave an amazing talk. A week later, after the CDC issued new guidelines stating that it was safe for people to not wear masks outdoors and indoors, the school board still voted to keep the same mandatory mask policy that John's father, Mike, also spoke up against on May 18.

Some 1,600 jobs are being cut at a Jeep Cherokee factory in northern Illinois as automakers continue being plagued by the global shortage of semiconductors. The U.S. arm of Stellantis, formerly known as Fiat Chrysler, said Friday it was cutting one of the two work shifts at its Belvidere Assembly Plant as of July 26. That could result in the layoffs of 1,641 workers, .... the factory’s situation “has been further exacerbated by the unprecedented global microchip shortage,” Tinson said. The Belvidere facility has been idled since late March, with Stellantis repeatedly delaying the reopening that is now not expected...

We recently heard about Ella and were told to be waiting for a universal notice for help. Apparently a match is difficult to find

There comes a time in every bad comedy when, just as you think the dreadful humor is over with, an even bigger doozy is hurled your way. Such is the case with Prince Harry, who of late has been (to put it mildly) estranged from the rest of the Royal Family across the pond. He’s spent the last couple of months engaged in a war of insinuation against his family, letting his wife lead him by the nose ring while she tries to ignite America’s ridiculous cancel culture against an establishment that’s 1,000 years old, give or take. Yet for...

This past year the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every facet of our society, perhaps nowhere more starkly than the education sector. Despite the massive disruption caused by COVID-19, teachers have persevered, with the best interests of students at the top of their minds. They deserve an enormous amount of thanks as well as the continued support from all of us to carry on in this challenging environment. Appreciation for teachers should not last just one week – they should constantly feel our gratitude.

As the latest flare-up between the Israelis and Palestinians dragged on, CBS Evening News seemingly wouldn’t be happy until the Jewish State of Israel was pushed into the sea. Tuesday’s edition of their Hamas-friendly coverage featured foreign correspondent Holly Williams scoffing at how two Israeli soldiers were shot by terrorists as Palestinians took part in their “day of rage” in the West Bank. And, of course, she spewed the Hamas propaganda that was fed to her. As she was transitioning to the segment, anchor Norah O’Donnell suggested it was Israel’s duty to de-escalate the situation despite Hamas deliberately targeting Israeli...
