As more information leaks out of China, it’s becoming increasingly clear that either the CCP knowingly created the COVID-19 virus and allowed it to leak out of a lab in Wuhan or, at the very least, they were so reckless that it was inevitable that the virus would escape. We’ve seen a lot recently about the Wuhan virology lab and how the scientists there didn’t take the proper safety precautions when researching the SARS virus. Now, we have news that Taiwan reported earlier this year in January that these Wuhan virology specialists had been particularly irresponsible with bats. They were...

New Mexico is often thought of by national prognosticators and DNC operatives as a blue state, giving Dems a clear advantage in the presidential election. The most recent Presidential contest in which New Mexico voted for a Republican was in 2004, which was also the most recent Republican Presidential popular vote victory. That pattern may not hold: in 2016, three other “blue states” were won by successful Republican Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump: Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. In 2020, New Mexico trended towards the Republicans relative to 2018, with GOP Senate nominee Mark Ronchetti getting a closer-than-expected 45.6% in the...

1. I always try to cheer myself up by singing when I get sad. Most of the time, it turns out that my voice is worse than my problems. ------ 2. At the finals of the National Poetry Contest last year came down to two finalists. One was a Duke University Law School graduate from an upper crust family; well-bred, well-connected, and all that goes with it. The other finalist was a redneck. The rules of the contest required each finalist to compose a four-line poem in one minute or less, and the poem had to contain the word "Timbuktu"....

Another excellent video interview of Dr. Peter McCullough covering scientific info on permanent immunity from natural covid infection and the unacceptable dangers of the covid vaccine which he says are massively under reported in VAERS. He attributes much of the decreased covid numbers to 100,000,000 Americans having already had covid and to the success of treating covid with alternative protocols.

An explosive new study claims that Chinese scientists created COVID-19 in a Wuhan lab, then tried to cover their tracks by reverse-engineering versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats. The paper's authors, British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr. Birger Sørensen, wrote that they have had 'prima facie evidence of retro-engineering in China' for a year - but were ignored by academics and major journals. Dalgleish is a professor of oncology at St George's University, London, and is best known for his breakthrough creating the first working 'HIV vaccine', to treat diagnosed...

Idaho Governor Brad Little repealed an executive order that prohibits the enforcement of mask mandates in the state, calling it "an irresponsible, self-serving political stunt," according to a statement the Republican released Friday. The face mask ban was signed by Lieutenant Governor Janice McGeachin, also a Republican, while Little was out of town. "An executive order that was issued while I was out of state this week runs contrary to a basic conservative principle – the government closest to the people governs best," said Little said in his statement. "I do not like petty politics. I do not like political...

At ease, Joe. President Joe Biden raised eyebrows — and a few alarms — Friday when he lavishly complimented a little girl on her appearance during remarks at a Virginia military base. “I love those barrettes in your hair, man,” Biden said. “I tell you what, look at her, she looks like she’s 19 years old, sitting there like a little lady with her legs crossed.” The girl in question, who appeared to be elementary school age -snip- Biden has a long history of awkward encounters with girls and young women.

The suspect who police say killed 9 people at a San Jose, California, light railyard Wednesday morning was due to attend a disciplinary hearing that day over claims of racist remarks he made on the job about co-workers, according to reports. Police identified Samuel Cassidy, a maintenance worker, as the man who gunned down his co-workers at the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) facility around 6 a.m. Wednesday. Cassidy appeared to be a "highly disgruntled VTA employee for many years, which may have contributed to why he targeted VTA employees," the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said in a...

We could capture all the political problems our country faces today with a single question – where have all the conservative leaders of the past two decades gone? I’m thinking of a select few: George W. Bush, John Boehner, Paul Ryan, and Jeff Flake. They all have a couple of things in common. When in office, they were viewed as nice guy conservatives with whom the other party could negotiate. Since having left office, they have all been absent from the public scene when the country most needs them. Boehner is happily hawking marijuana and writing books. When he appears...

A fourth Jefferson County resident has died from COVID-19 after having been hospitalized for several weeks at a Seattle hospital. A woman in her 60s, a cancer patient, died late last week at the University of Washington Medical Center after she was hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia, said Dr. Tom Locke, Jefferson County health officer. The reporting of the death, confirmed to be caused by COVID-19, was delayed due to her having residences in other states, Locke said Thursday. The woman was vaccinated but was not fully protected due to chemotherapy, Locke said. Her immune system had been suppressed by the...

Things are changing in America and you either go with the flow or get left behind. Exxon Mobile Corporation had a board election yesterday and at least two “rebels” were elected. These rebels aren’t members of the downtrodden masses. They were put forward by a hedge fund, Engine 1, in an effort to force Exxon to address climate change. By the end of the day, Exxon had been shaken to its foundation — a foundation laid by John D. Rockefeller in the 19th century. Exxon CEO Darren Woods’ days may be numbered. Woods made the proxy fight the most expensive...

I’m a libertarian-minded Republican. I hate taxes. Especially the income tax. But I pay all required taxes. I suspect you also pay your taxes. And like most Americans, you probably don’t cheat or lie. For that reason, even though an IRS audit might annoy you and cause you some stress, you’d eventually realize that you have nothing to fear as long as the audit is done fairly and properly. But you’d likely feel differently if the IRS outsourced the audit to someone who: Had no applicable professional credentials Had never previously run a tax audit Believed that Hugo Chavez had...

A coroner in the United Kingdom will consider whether complications caused by the AstraZeneca vaccine were a factor in the death of BBC presenter Lisa Shaw. Ms Shaw, 44, was a well known presenter in northeast England, where she worked for BBC Radio Newcastle. She died last Friday in hospital, where she was being treated for blood clots. In a statement, Ms Shaw’s family said she developed “severe” headaches a week after having the Covid-19 vaccine and became “seriously ill” a few days later.

Amid a rise in black fungus cases particularly in COVID patients in Delhi, some medical experts feel that “unhygienic masks” and poorly ventilated rooms could be a contributing factor, while others said “no clinical evidence” has been established linking the two. Doctors at many leading hospitals here said many patients, both COVID and non-COVID ones, have presented themselves at the facilities who have been infected with mucormycosis or black fungus and had a history of exhibiting poor hygienic practices, including wearing unwashed masks for a long time. According to Dr Suresh Singh Naruka, senior consultant, ENT, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, the...

Only 6% of Americans have a "biblical worldview," according to research from notable evangelical pollster George Barna released as part of a new endeavor with the Christian conservative advocacy organization Family Research Council. In a statement Wednesday, FRC announced that Barna, who founded the influential evangelical polling organization Barna Group, joined the organization as a senior fellow of their newly launched Center for Biblical Worldview.
