Laura Mallozzi, whose 18-year-old son developed myocarditis two days after his second Pfizer vaccine, said she would never have connected the dots between the vaccine and her son’s symptoms if she hadn’t read about the condition in The Defender. ===================================================================================== Laura Mallozzi’s 18-year-old son, David, was hospitalized with myocarditis on June 10 — two days after his second dose of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. According to Mallozzi, David, from Indiana, felt pressured at work by his employer and co-workers to get vaccinated. “They were uncomfortable that he wasn’t vaccinated,” she said. “So he got the COVID vaccine without telling me.” Mallozzi’s...

The confirmation of President Joe Biden’s nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), David Chipman, received another blow on Tuesday. GOP Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), who has voted for some of Biden’s nominees, announced that she will not support Chipman’s controversial nomination.

"In recent years, Mr. Chipman has been an outspoken critic of the firearms industry and has made statements that...

There was a shooting in New York City the other day. It happened in broad daylight. A man was shot, and two children barely escaped death. There was a shooting in Chicago that left a father dead and his wife injured. Now call me crazy, but the perps do not appear to be white supremacists. I will bet a ton of money that they do not have legal permits for those guns, and I will bet they're not members of the NRA. President Rutabaga has made several declarations over the last few months about the greatest threat to this country....

Lorraine Sue Garza, 45, was charged on June 18 with two counts of abandoning or endangering a child. According to the arrest report, a woman called police because she was giving three children, ages 11, 13, and 15, food and letting them shower at her home. The children told her that their mother left the house on June 3 and hasn't been back since. San Antonio police spoke with the 15-year-old girl, who told them that their mother just left and took the family's only cell phone with her, so there was no way they could contact her. The water...

This episode is about China's Loess Plateau, which was anciently a lush area. But as more people made it their home, the demand for resources grew. Over the course of thousands of years, aggressive farming and overgrazing stripped away the vegetation almost entirely. This lead to severe soil erosion and eventually turned the Loess plateau into basically a denuded desert. In the mid 1990s, Chinese and foreign scientists and civil engineers surveyed this area to see if anything could be done to restore the land. The project that followed has implications that go far beyond China.

The nation’s top psychologists, entrusted with executive decisions on the treatment of mental health, are exposed in private email exchanges obtained by The Gateway Pundit pathologizing all conservatives as mentally ill and untreatable. No amount of therapy cannot remedy “ignorant,” “paranoid,” “strange” “delusional,” “stupid,” “narcissist” conservatives who support “corruption and incompetence,” the executive board members of the National Alliance of Professional Psychology Providers contend. In a June 4 email, executive director of NAPPP Dr. John Caccavale warns: “Trump supporters may share some of the narcissistic traits that were exhibited by the former president himself during his 2020 re-election campaign.” The...

The US House Armed Services Committee supports the immediate transfer of lethal military equipment to Ukraine. This is stated by the Committee Ranking member Mike Rogers and House Foreign Affairs Committee Lead Republican Michael McCau. “The United States should not wait for the Kremlin to cross anymore ‘territorial red lines’ in Ukraine before sending additional military assistance to Kyiv. Instead, the Administration should send this lethal aid immediately to deter further Russian aggression," the statement reads.

Mike Eruzione of the 1980 U.S. hockey team isn’t holding back about his opinion about transgender Olympian Chelsea Wolfe’s goal of burning the American flag on the podium in at the Olympics in Tokyo. Eruzione, also known as Rizzo, captured our hearts during the team’s “Miracle on Ice” clinching of the gold medal at the height of the Cold War.

In order to ensure Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal would not fail, Kamala Harris literally directed a crowd of Democrat volunteers to knock on doors of unvaccinated residents and harass them into getting the jab. The Biden administration recently established a target of vaccinating 70% of Americans by July 4th. That ambition appears to be doomed. Americans are avoiding the Covid vaccine for a variety of reasons, but the Biden administration is aiming for a 70% immunization rate in order to exert control over the unvaccinated. This has nothing to do with saving lives. It’s all about power. In Atlanta,...

CNN's New Day went nuts this morning in reaction to the Republican filibuster of S1, the so-called "For the People Act," which would largely federalize elections. CNN New Day co-host John Berman fumed: "Senate Republicans are afraid to even discuss voting rights . . . Of course Mitch McConnell likes the status quo because status quo is Republican-led states rigging the system."CNN chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, continuing his comeback tour after his Zoom-masturbation suspension, then claimed that the voting rights bill is nothing less than: "Life or death for the democracy . . . an existential crisis for the...

Michael Rectenwald is the author of "Google Archipelago" and "Beyond Woke". Thought Criminal is his first science fiction novel. In the book “Thought Criminal” by Michael Richenwald, a small group struggles to maintain even the concept of individuality and free will in the face of an ever-more powerful hive mind. They struggle to even connect with each other when every aspect of the system is suspect – including other people. That makes “Thought Criminal” a post-Singularity dystopian novel, though it has its strengths and weaknesses.

VIDEOJen Psaki just can't say the name of President Donald Trump whom she called "The Other Guy" at a press conference yesterday. Another person who couldn't call President Trump by his name was a reporter who asked if the upcoming Trump rally in Cleveland could incite violence. As Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show (AM 1470 WWNN Radio 6 to 9 AM ET), described that question, it was a "foreshadowing." The Democrats and their media allies would love nothing better than a shutdown of Trump rallies due to the excuse of violence caused by guess who. Hint:...

Fresh off his several-month hiatus for being caught in an inappropriate situation during a Zoom call with his former New Yorker staff members, CNN chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin is sounding the alarm on voting rights expansion. Tuesday, the Senate failed to meet the 60-vote threshold needed to advance the debate on the so-called “For the People Act,” which would have federalized America’s electoral system.

A school board meeting in Loudoun County, Virginia, was shut down by law enforcement over Critical Race Theory (CRT). Anti-CRT protestors flooded the hall, making their opposition crystal clear to board members who evidently were shaken to their core. This public meeting was quickly declared an unlawful assembly, and yes, arrests were made. It's insanity. If board members can't handle the heat, then they are the ones who should vacate the premises and nix this pseudo-intellectual garbage that is CRT from the county's curriculum. More and more parents are not having any of this white liberal nonsense in our schools....

It appears as though California's plans to become an environmental and socialist utopia are running face first into reality.The latest dose of reality came this week when the state, facing triple digit temperatures, began to "fret" about pressure on the state's power grid as a result of everybody charging their electric vehicles all at once.The state's power grid operators have been telling residents to "relieve pressure" from the grid by charging their EVs at off-peak hours, Newsweek wrote. Twice last week the California Independent System Operator (ISO) told residents to conserve energy voluntarily, including asking to charge their EVs at...
