A spokesperson from the hospital stressed that this study, which was very small, should in no way deter people from vaccinating and encouraged anyone who has not yet been inoculated to get the jab.The Pfizer coronavirus vaccine has been linked to an increased chance of developing thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a rare blood disorder, Israeli researchers said Monday.TTP is an autoimmune disease that causes blood clots to form in various organs of the body. According to the National Institutes of Health, these clots can limit or block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to key organs like the brain, kidneys and...

Pennsylvania’s mask mandate is still in place, and the state may not reach the 70 percent vaccination goal before June 28 — the date the state is expected to finally lift the remaining mandate. As other states began lifting their mask mandates, Gov. Tom Wolf (D) took a different approach, stating last month that he would not lift the Keystone State’s mask mandate earlier than June 28 unless it reached a 70 percent vaccination goal.

Schools are now so fearful of racism allegations that making a tree a mascot is considered a concern because black Americans were once hanged using trees. In Portland, Oregon, Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School has delayed a vote to adopt an evergreen tree as its mascot because some fear such a mascot would be reminiscent of lynching, the Portland Tribune reported. The school’s current mascot is the Trojans but was set to be changed to evergreens following the suggestion from a committee “comprised of students, staff and community members,” the outlet reported. “But just before the Portland Public Schools Board...

In the last 14 days, 90% of Delta inflow went to sea. It’s equal to a year’s supply of water for 1 million people. #ManMadeDrought,” Central Valley farmer Kristi Diener said.Diener, a California water expert and farmer, has been warning steadily that water is unnecessarily being let out to sea as the state faces a normal dry year.“Are we having a dry year? Yes,” Diener says. “That is normal for us. Should we be having water shortages in the start of our second dry year? No. Our reservoirs were designed to provide a steady five year supply for all users,...

Last year, when several Fulton County, Georgia poll observers testified that boxes of mail-in ballots for Joe Biden appeared to be run through a photocopy machine, state investigators secretly broke the seal on one suspicious box and inspected the hundreds of votes it contained for signs of fraud, according to RealClearInvestigations. Simultaneously, a whistleblower told the outlet that state investigators tried to compel her to recant her testimony about what she and other poll monitors had witnessed that they referred to as “pristine” mail-in ballots while sorting through them during last November’s hand recount. “I felt I was under investigation,”...

The Arizona Legislature is preparing to adjourn for the year and go home until January 2022, leaving their post BEFORE the Arizona audit report is produced and legislation can be created. If the AZ Senate does not delay sine die (the end of session), new election laws will not be created until they meet again next January. If it is found that fraud occurred in Maricopa County, the legislature will not be able to consider withdrawing electors.

One of the least-discussed elements of the U.S. House-passed For the People Act is how it could potentially allow illegal immigrants to vote in U.S. elections. It’s yet another move by Democrats to permanently rig the rules of American elections in their favor.The so-called voting rights bill requires states to automatically add to their voter registration rolls every person — regardless of their voter eligibility — who partake in government programs, such as welfare, university financial aid or Medicare. This could add hundreds of thousands of ineligible voters to the rolls, leading to a massive blow to our election integrity...

During this week’s broadcast of PBS’s “Firing Line,” CNN’s Don Lemon insisted his takes during his CNN program were not opinion.

European football’s governing body, UEFA, has declined a request to allow Munich’s Allianz Arena to be illuminated in rainbow colors in support of LGBTQ+ rights, saying it would represent a political statement. LGBTQ+ activists and the Munich City Council had requested the action for Germany’s Euro 2020 match against Hungary on Wednesday, after legislation was passed through the Hungarian parliament banning LGBTQ+ content for minors. In a statement on Tuesday, UEFA said the action would have signaled a political message and suggested alternative dates. “UEFA, through its statutes, is a politically and religiously neutral organization. Given the political context of...

huck Schumer seems almost … nervous. This pleases us. SCHUMER: “Just a note: How despicable a man is Donald Trump?! He lost an election legitimately. He can’t face that, that it was his failure.

Billie Eilish said she is “appalled and embarrassed” after a video of the Grammy-winning pop star and Democrat party activist resurfaced last week, showing the teen star mouthing racist slurs. The Black Lives Matter-marching pop sensation landed in the midst of a race scandal after a TikTok video went viral online appearing to show Eilish mocking Asian accents, including using a racial slur against people of Chinese descent.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted won't attend former President Donald Trump's rally in Lorain County this weekend, they said. DeWine has a family conflict and Husted didn't elaborate on why he won't be in attendance. In September 2020, Trump supporters booed masks, DeWine's name and Husted at a rally near Dayton. Although DeWine endorsed Trump for reelection, Trump hinted in a tweet that he may support a primary challenger against DeWine in 2022.

This mailbox sure delivers a big surprise. An Ohio man who built a virtually indestructible mailbox because he was sick of people smashing it is being sued by a motorist who crashed into the thing and got paralyzed, according to a report. Matthew Burr allegedly turned his front-yard letter box into a postal fortress, by constructing it out of a thick metal post that was buried three feet in the ground and reinforced with rocks and cement, according to reports. It was so strong that when plaintiff Cletus Slay’s pickup truck slid off the road on some black ice in...

Bernard's trip to AZ explains SO MUCH about the Dems fears...and what's REALLY bothering them... ======================================================================================= When the Arizona Audit first started Dems laughed it off. They brushed it off as a bunch Q kooks playing “tech warriors” to pacify angry Trump supporters. That narrative was also pumped through the propaganda fake news media…and Dems didn’t pay it much attention, except to mock it. And then all of that changed as more and more state politicians started visiting Arizona and looking at what Cyber Ninjas were actually doing, and being so impressed, that they wanted THAT audit n their state...

On Saturday in Ocean City, Maryland, officers notified "a large group" that their vaping was in violation of a local ordinance that prohibits vaping and smoking except in designated areas. After walking away, cops noticed one of the same teens, Brian Everett Anderson, reengaging with his vape. "Officers approached the group again to further address the violation," reads a press release from the local government. "During the course of the interaction, the male refused to provide his proof of identification and became disorderly." A viral video making the rounds Sunday appeared to cast some doubt on the idea that the...
