A COVID-19 VACCINE INSURGENCE MAY BE BREWING First, a video by Dr. Peter McCullough has appeared, linked below. It’s an hour and three-quarters long, so most folks won’t take the time to watch it. So, here’s a summary: a. Multi-drug regiments for early outpatient treatments (hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, azithromycin + other drugs) were actively suppressed by institutions and governments. Such regiments could have saved many lives. In spite of studies that showed their effectiveness, doctors were threatened with removal of their license―or worse (jail time). b. Mass vaccination of bio-actively vaccines have never been used before or even tested. These vaccines...

Former Rep. Jim Renacci (R-OH) announced Wednesday that he will challenge Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in the Buckeye State’s 2022 gubernatorial primary. Renacci, who previously ran for governor in the state in 2017 and later dropped out to run for U.S. Senate, made the announcement on WTAM 1100, a local radio station. “Ohio cannot afford for Mike DeWine to be the governor anymore,” Renacci said in an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer on Wednesday. “My path may have been diverted in 2018, but my will really to change Ohio was not.” “In Mike DeWine’s Ohio, our state has lost...

There is No Corona Pandemic, It's a Fraudulent 'PCR Test Pandemic' Fascinating point of view with Bannon driving to determine if it is fact-based and science-based. What do you think?

President Joe Biden will be holding a summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin later this week. It is doubtful Putin will find the encounter as enjoyable as the love fests he shared with former President Donald Trump. Trump made it abundantly clear that he wanted to be buddies with the Russian autocrat. When American intelligence agencies said the Russians had interfered with the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Putin denied it, Trump believed Putin. When Ukrainian officials asked Trump to help them defend themselves against Russian attacks, Trump took it as an opportunity to try to coerce the Ukrainians...

A new Gallup poll shows a majority of Americans take a pro-life position opposing all or most abortions, but the poll also contains concerning news about Americans and their attitude about killing babies in abortions. The survey finds a record number of Americans say ending he lives of unborn children in abortions is “morally acceptable.” As LifeNews reported today, Gallup has released new National polling data on the issue of abortion and the results show continued pro-life sentiment across the Untied States as a majority of people say they oppose all or most abortions as Americans have said for years....

Anyone who has been to St Petersburg and walked along its central streets will certainly stop at the embankment of the Griboyedov Canal to admire this festively bright Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, better known as the Savior on Spilled Blood. The splendour of this magnificent church consists of its small details, just like the mosaic that adorns it both in and outside. Today we would like to give you a glimpse of the most interesting historical facts related to this church, as well as the most unusual of the mosaic images decorating its walls. Interesting FactsThe cathedral was...

Diocesan-wide fundraising appeals have declined in recent years, a study conducted by The Pillar concludes. But the decline is not consistent across dioceses, and some local Churches have seen appeals grow in recent years, even with the Church in the U.S. battered over the last three years both by news that one of its most prominent cardinals was a sexual abuser and by increasing division over doctrinal and political issues. A special report from The Pillar looks at trends in diocesan annual appeals, and asks what they might signify for the Church’s ongoing fiscal health. After the the 2018 scandals...

There’s no prison (yet) for climate criminals, but if there was, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro would have a spider-infested cell all to himself. Now that Trump is gone, Bolsonaro - a.k.a. “The Trump of the Tropics” or “Captain Chain Saw” - is the most dangerous climate denier in the world. In his two years as president, Bolsonaro has presided over the destruction of about 10,000 square miles of the Brazilian rainforest, one of the most precious ecosystems on the planet. And like Trump, Bolsonaro is proud of his efforts to f... up the planet. If people were so concerned about...

Chicago Franciscan condemns African bishopsCHICAGO (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Franciscan professor in Chicago is denouncing African prelates for upholding the Church's teaching on homosexuality. The Duns Scotus Chair of Spirituality at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, Fr. Daniel Horan, exploded in an opinion piece Wednesday — setting his sights on the Ghanaian Catholic Bishops' Conference (GCBC) and calling them "homophobic." "The Ghanaian bishops have unequivocally participated in and promoted the dehumanization of LGBTQ persons, which has resulted in increased discrimination and violence," charged the friar. Horan is specifically attacking a January letter from the GCBC — demanding the shutdown of...

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said he believes Communist China is America’s biggest adversary. In a recent interview, the Alabama senator said China has taken advantage over the U.S. economy and used its trade and investment revenues to build up its military. Tuberville said we must not allow U.S. businesses and the federal government to invest in China. Last month, the senator proposed a bill to limit U.S. investment in China, which amounts to $700 billion each year. Tuberville stressed Beijing does not play by the rules and it’s using America’s own money to threaten U.S. national interests and security. He...

We're getting a real-world economics lesson in rip-your-face-off increases in prices, and the tuition is about to go up--way up. Inflation will be transitory, blah-blah-blah--I beg to differ, for these reasons. There are numerous structural sources of inflation, which I define as prices rise while the quality and quantity of goods and services remain the same or diminish. Since the word inflation is so loaded, let's use the more neutral (and more accurate) term decline in purchasing power: an hour of your labor buys fewer goods and services of lesser quality than it did a decade ago or a generation...

I’m a news junkie. I tend to watch five hours of cable news programming just about every day. While viewing I also read, or at least scan, five to six newspapers a day thanks to the internet, mostly from the Northeast, but sometimes from across the country. My addiction to news started decades ago, so of course I was familiar with the cases of famous whistle-blowers such as Chelsea Manning, Eric Snowden and – here’s a blast from the past – Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the infamous Pentagon Papers to newspapers back in 1971. I also know the stories of...

Brescello, the ancient municipium of Brixellum, is a small town in northern Italy near Modena. Originally, it was a Gallic settlement on banks of the Po River that was romanized after the area was annexed by the Roman republic...It was in this city that in the year 1714 one of the most remarkable numismatic discoveries ever recorded took place. A peasant, while ploughing a field, accidentally found a vessel containing about 80,000 republican aurei, that is, approximately 650kg of pure gold!The treasure was composed entirely of only 32 varieties of types coined between the years 46 and 38 BC, so...

The administration hopes to transfer a handful of the remaining terrorism suspects to foreign countries, the people familiar with the discussions said, and then persuade Congress to permit the transfer of the rest — including 9/11 suspects — to detention on the U.S. mainland. Biden hopes to close the facility by the end of his first term, the people familiar with the discussions said.

@seanhannity BIDEN’S BIG TRIP: Biden’s first presidential trip abroad is off to a bad start! Jill announced on Twitter that she’s “prepping for the G-7.” Is she worried that Joe isn’t up to the challenge? Sen. @TedCruz weighs in TONIGHT on “Hannity.”
