A TikTok user who goes by the name of Brianna, or appaloosauce, was offered $2,000 from her father who believes the side effects of getting vaccinated will kill her, Rawstory reported. "It is not a vaccine," he says. "It is a human trial, it is genetic therapy. It's not a vaccine, it doesn't fall under the category of a vaccine. It's not FDA approved." "Why are you trying to buy me off?" Brianna asked her father. "Because I love you, why do you think I want to buy you off?" the father said. "I know you don't [want money], but...

HOUSTON, TX – The two MS-13 gang members who killed a 15-year-old girl as a sacrifice to the Saint of Death in 2017, have been convicted of murder and each sentenced to 40 years in prison. “This is a tragic case of a runaway girl falling into the clutches of a dangerous and violent gang,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said. “We will not stop in our pursuit of violent criminals who band together to terrorize communities and murder innocents.” On Monday, just before jury selection was set to begin in his trial, Diego Hernandez-Rivera, 22, pleaded guilty to...

Few events have accelerated Western institutional decay as the coronavirus pandemic, and it's been Dr. Anthony Fauci's foot on the gas. Few events have accelerated Western institutional decay as the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s been Dr. Anthony Fauci’s foot on the gas. As the pandemic sunsets on the United States, the nation stands far weaker, rocked by a public health emergency driving up debt and division amid a polarizing presidential election while political elites capitalized on the virus for ulterior ends. Legacy media got more irresponsible, big tech got more unfair, and half the population comfortably shut down their neighbors’...

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer issued a stern warning Thursday to a pair of unidentified suspects sought in the road-rage shooting death of a 6-year-old boy on the Costa Mesa (55) Freeway in Orange, as the reward posted in the case swelled to $310,000.

America's baffling but lethal love affair with guns goes from strength to strength. New figures show 2020 was the deadliest gun violence year in decades. At the same time, Americans are buying guns in record numbers, while Texas lawmakers this week became the latest to vote to allow people to carry handguns without either a licence, background check or any training. The British response is traditionally to sigh in weary bewilderment and just be glad that such a terrifying arms race doesn't exist in the UK. And yet there's reason to be alarmed. British police report that a growing number...

“Many schools in Ohio are hiding their curriculum because they’re teaching students to become bigots toward their peers, adults, and law enforcement.” The battle over “Diversity” curricula is raging across the country, and with each passing week, more parents come out of the woodwork to testify against political activism in schools. In recent weeks, parents have written to me from Ohio, Texas, Arizona, Utah, and Virginia reporting that their local meetings have become so packed that parents are forced to watch proceedings from screens in lobbies and hallways. As I’ve covered this phenomenon over some months, I’ve observed how parent...

They really got the scoop on this one. With the White House poised to unveil the largest federal budget in US history, spy agencies investigating whether a lab in China caused the COVID-19 pandemic and gas prices skyrocketing ahead of a major US travel holiday, President Biden was grilled Thursday … about his favorite flavor of ice cream. “Mr. President, what did you order?” was the first question shouted by a reporter as Biden licked a cone at Honey Hut Ice Cream in Cleveland, Ohio. “Chocolate chocolate chip,” the commander in chief replied, to oohs and aahs from the fawning...

More than 60 American bishops have signed a letter to Archbishop José Gomez, the president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), urging him not to go forward with plans for a full discussion of the challenge posed by prominent Catholics who oppose Church teaching on the right to life. The Pillar news site, which broke the story of the bishops’ letter, reports that these bishops say the conference lacks a "high standard of consensus" on the question of Eucharistic coherence. The letter in effect says that the USCCB should shelve a discussion that the conference has already approved...

Marylanders rally against baseless coronavirus vaccine mandate for state college students ‘I just feel like this is just a straight up abuse of rights, abuse of power, and they need to be reeled back.'ANNAPOLIS, Maryland, May 27, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Citizens from all over Maryland descended on the state capital to protest an unconstitutional order mandating all students and employees in the University of Maryland system receive coronavirus vaccines before returning to school this fall. “I’m opposed to mandating anyone to get this vaccination,” Maryland House Delegate Lauren Arikan told LifeSite’s Jim Hale, who was on the scene. “It’s still...

In Russia today, there are about 7,000 Orthodox churches and other objects of spiritual culture in need of reconstruction from complete ruins, a Russian Church representative announced recently. “The Patriarchal Cultural Council has now identified 7,000 monuments of architecture, and in general of history and spiritual culture, which simply must be saved in some way,” Archpriest Leonid Kalinin, Chairman of the Expert Council on Church Art, Architecture, and Restoration, told RIA-Novosti. To repair and rebuild the churches, they must first be captured in the state they are in now, Fr. Leonid added. For this purpose, it is planned to...

The first ecological study of state mask mandates and their use to include data from the winter case spike has found that widespread mask-wearing likely didn’t slow the spread of COVID-19. The study, conducted by the University of Louisville using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that “80% of US states mandated masks during the COVID-19 pandemic,” but while “mandates induced greater mask compliance, [they] did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low (minima) or high (maxima).” The study also found that “mask mandates and use are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread...

Biden, or rather Hady Amr, his point man on the conflict, an anti-Israel bundler to his campaign, is pushing to open a consulate to the PLO in Jerusalem. Secretary of State Blinken and assorted State Department people insist that the United States needs a direct line to the Palestinian Authority. But there's no reason for that direct line to be in Jerusalem. The PLO's capital is in Ramallah. The 19th century former Christian city taken over by Muslims serves as the capital of the Palestinian Authority. That's where Mahmoud Abbas, the PA's leader, who just canceled the latest set of...

The city of Chicago has dismissed both “disorderly conduct and mob action” citations against Pastor Cristian Ionescu of Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church and Pastor Florin Cimpean of Philadelphia Romanian Church for holding a morning and an evening service on May 17, 2020. The pastors were charged for having more than 10 people in their large sanctuaries for worship. Liberty Counsel represents Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church and Logos Baptist Ministries and will file a motion for summary judgment to the lower district court in their federal lawsuit against Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. The churches are returning to the district court with...

The archbishop’s statement met with mixed comments, many decrying his tone because of its lack of clarity regarding the Church’s teaching on homosexual acts.RIJEKA, Croatia, May 25, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Marking what is called the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT), the coadjutor-Archbishop of Rijeka, Croatia, begged forgiveness from homosexuals for the “rejection” they have experienced on the part of the Catholic Church. Archbishop Mate Uzinić published his statement on his personal Facebook page on May 17, invoking the spirit of the “ground-breaking” Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia to justify the move. Mate Uzinić, 53, was the Bishop of Dubrovnik...

She’s called the president of Honduras a narco. The president of El Salvador, she said, was a “narcissistic dictator.” Norma Torres, the lone member of Congress from Central America, is not afraid to speak her mind — sometimes in surprising ways — about immigration, corruption and the land of her birth. Her blunt talk has drawn so much anger from one Central American leader and his followers that she sleeps with a 9-millimeter pistol at her side. Torres, a Democrat from Pomona, brings a unique perspective on what drives people to flee their home countries. When she was a toddler...

Vaccine Mandate Employee Letter Example No authorship claim or copyright asserted...this letter just came to me in a bottle, and I have no idea who might have penned it, nor can I possibly vouch for it, and what you fine folks do with it is entirely in your own hands, as the Gentlemen of the Bar remind me I can proffer no legal advice in the matter, and do not so here...Dear Boss, Compelling any employee to take any current Covid-19 vaccine violates federal and state law. First, federal law prohibits any mandate of the Covid-19 vaccines as unlicensed,...

Explanation: May's perigee Full Moon slid through Earth's shadow yesterday entertaining night skygazers in regions around the Pacific. Seen from western North America, it sinks toward the rugged Sierra Nevada mountain range in this time-lapse series of the total lunar eclipse. Low on the western horizon the Moon was captured at mid-eclipse with two separate exposures. Combined they reveal the eclipsed Moon's reddened color against the dark night sky and the diffuse starlight band of the Milky Way. Frames taken every five minutes from the fixed camera follow the surrounding progression of the eclipse partial phases. In the foreground a...
