....Please, CDC, help us. What should we do? The general questions parents need answered are: Should we apply CDC guidance, presumably intended for unvaccinated adults, to our unvaccinated children? Or do children belong in a different category? And what about very young children who cannot or will not wear masks? Can they participate in society, or must we keep them locked inside? Here’s one specific question: If you see your extended family this summer, and all the adults are vaccinated but the kids are not, do the kids need to mask the whole time? And here’s another, very basic: Can...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is bringing on dozens of lawyers after being gutted by four years of budget cuts. The Agriculture Department is moving to replace hundreds of scientists who fled or were forced out by the last administration At the Justice Department, officials are looking to hire civil rights attorneys — and the Energy Department is recruiting for senior energy efficiency and renewable energy roles that went unfilled when Donald Trump was president.....As Trump rolled back regulations and aimed for...

VIDEOSTOP! Please STOP the Maricopa County ballot audit! That is the panicked message sent out by the mainstream media as the Maricopa County ballot audit resumes on Monday after a week's pause. So why does the media find the audit to be so "dangerous?" If Biden won fair and square they should WELCOME such an audit in order to put to rest the widespread skepticism about the election results. Instead the attitude of the media, as you can see in these clips, is panic, panic, PANIC!One media shtick is to claim that this audit is part of a "disinformation" campaign...

...Who is this dude Satan? Jesus spoke of him a lot. As told by Matthew, he’s the subject of Christ’s first two parables. The second is particularly chilling, reading like the original screenplay for The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. One day a farmer is beset by workers dismayed at weeds resembling wheat that have come up. When questioned about the weeds, the farmer replies, “An enemy has done this.” And there you have it. The imposters, who rob the productive, life-giving wheat of water and nutrients, have infiltrated the field, looking too much like wheat to weed them out....

"The law perverted! The law—and, in its wake, all the collective forces of the nation. The law, I say, not only diverted from its proper direction, but made to pursue one entirely contrary! The law becomes the tool of every kind of avarice, instead of being its check! The law guilty of that very inequity which it was its mission to punish! Truly, this is a serious fact, if it exists, and one to which I feel bound to call the attention of my fellow-citizens." —Frédéric Bastiat Genre(s): Law, Political Science Language: English

The fiercest band of the hurricane is the looming acceleration of inflation. One report compared the average price of various commodities in May 2020 under President Donald Trump to those in May 2021 under President Joe Biden. Here are some staggering numbers: Gasoline: $1.77 under Trump vs. $3 under Biden. Lumber: $332 per 1,000 board feet under Trump vs. $1,570 per 1,000 board feet under Biden. Home sales: $283,500 under Trump vs. $329,100 under Biden. ~snip~ The behavior of the schools, however, is part of the American reality, because it affects people and their children. First, the culture of work...

Whoever wrote this is on bath salts. Is this for real? I mean I know media bubbles are dense, but this is something else. This is not even grounded in reality, folks Apparently, the COVID lockdowns didn’t trash the economy and it saved lives. Both are demonstrably false. That’s the hottest of hot takes regarding the virus. Dare I say, it may be worse than what Anthony Fauci has said about the vaccine and mask-wearing. It could rival that, maybe. The fact is that millions of jobs were lost, mental health issues spiked, our children weren’t learning, people did die,...

Our current convulsions, with the Jewish people under murderous and venomous attack both in Israel and the Diaspora, are far more momentous than many may realize. Israel, where a ceasefire to the conflict in Gaza has been announced, remained under fire from the rocket barrages aimed at killing Israeli civilians in the final hours before it was due to take effect. Tensions over attacks by Israeli Arabs on Israeli Jews, with some ugly retaliation by Jewish extremists, remain high. But the violence is not confined to the Middle East. There has been a huge upsurge in attacks on Diaspora Jews...

On the moral illicitness of the use of vaccines made from cells derived from aborted human fetuses In recent weeks, news agencies and various information sources have reported that, in response to the Covid-19 emergency, some countries have produced vaccines using cell lines from aborted human fetuses. In other countries, such vaccines are being planned. A growing chorus of churchmen (bishops’ conferences, individual bishops, and priests) has said that, in the event that no alternative vaccine using ethically licit substances is available, it would be morally permissible for Catholics to receive vaccines made from the cell lines of aborted babies....

In 1999, Tim Meisburger helped Indonesia run its first open election in almost half a century. “The people were very distrustful of the process because in the past the party in power rigged elections to get the outcome they wanted,” Meisburger, former Director of Democracy and Governance at the U.S. Agency for International Development, explained. The United States helped fund more than 500,000 election observers across the country to prevent voter fraud and ballot tampering. “Because of that scrutiny, the elections were fair and honest,” Meisburger added. Today, Meisburger is trying to get America to adopt the same election integrity...

On this date in 1393 — or 10 Rajab 795 on the Islamic lunar calendar — the feared conquerer Timur (or Tamerlane) disposed of the squabbling ruling dynasty he had recently overturned, the Muzaffarids. The House of Muzaffar came to prominence under the Mongol Ikhanate that stretched itslef from Persia to the Mediterranean in the 13th century. As the Ilkhanate broke up in 1335, a guy like Yazd governor Mubariz al-Din Muhammad ibn Muzaffar could bloodily carve out a state of his own.* Renowned for his cruelties, Mubariz al-Din ended his life blinded by his heir, Shah Shuja (or Shah...

Amid the disturbing rise in attacks on Asian Americans since March 2020 is a troubling category of these assaults: Black people are also attacking Asian Americans.

“I personally, this is my own personal opinion, believe it’s the spike protein,” she said. “I believe that there’s billions of spike proteins and it’s a protein that then can last longer. And some people have said they think it’s the messenger RNA. Messenger RNA is pretty unstable. And so I don’t think it would last very long. But if you were having close personal contact with people like a spouse and you were hugging or kissing or having sex with someone or like with the grandchild probably sitting in Grandma or Grandpa’s lap, something is being transmitted that is...

As reported earlier — The University of Pittsburgh is growing scalps from aborted babies on lab rats. This is straight from a horror movie. The scientists are using human baby fetal skin processed via removal of excess fat and growing the baby hair on rats. And Dr. Tony Fauci is funding this gruesome study. On Friday Tucker Carlson invited Pro-life advocate David Daeiden on his show to discuss this horrendous study at the University of Pittsburgh. https://twitter.com/i/status/1395768552720945152 Daleiden told Tucker Carlson, “Dr. Anthony Fauci owns every bit of this study.” So, will any conservative have the guts to question Fauci...

Bishop Rebukes Bishopa Pro-abort politicians are unworthyGALLUP, N.M. (ChurchMilitant.com) - A New Mexico prelate is protecting brother bishops who believe pro-abortion Catholic politicians should be denied Holy Communion.In an article for First Things on Tuesday, Bp. James Wall of the diocese of Gallup rebuked San Diego bishop Robert McElroy — ripping his essay that argued pro-life bishops are politically motivated and weaponizing the Eucharist.Bishop Wall wrote:But while I don't presume to know what's in the mind and heart of my brother bishops, I am not motivated by political ends, nor are those with whom I have discussed the subject. Our...

Department of Defense medical researchers have developed a microchip that can detect COVID-19 after being inserted under an individual’s skin.The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — a top-secret Pentagon unit established during the Cold War — created the revolutionary technology, and revealed it during a “60 Minutes” episode on Sunday.“Among some of the current projects that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is developing: a health-monitoring subdermal implant,” the program described the technology in a tweet. “It’s not a government tracking microchip, but rather a tissue-like gel engineered to continuously test your blood.”

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. 1 Samuel 18:10 Why should anyone still be axing the question was Ashli Babbitt really killed. The entire shooting looked like a cheap high school play and none of her wounds were shown or what you would expect from a close gun shooting directly on camera. When are any or all of these questions going to...
