...Up to this point, Ohio failed to achieve even 50 percent of all residents to be vaccinated. The mixed results of the vaccine campaign has led some to question its implementation. Ohio GOP Gubernatorial candidate Jim Renacci criticized the decision by the DeWine administration. “The last 8 days Ohio has averaged 5300 vaccines, 1/3 of the state average 25 days before the Governor announced the Waste-A-Million giveaway. Whoever Created This should be fired. Fire DeWine In 2022,” Renacci said of the effort.... Other states that opted to follow DeWine’s initiative witnessed similar results. In New Mexico, residents could win up...

A top WHO official says that mask mandates and social distancing should continue indefinitely in order to protect against new variants of COVID-19. The comments were made on Sky News by Special Envoy on Covid for the World Health Organisation (WHO). Dr David Nabarro. Nabarro suggested that there would be a long list of mutations of the Indian variant which would in some cases evade the protection offered by vaccines. “We will go from Delta to Lambda and then on to the other Greek letters, that’s inevitable, and some of these variants will be troublesome,” he said.... Several government advisers...

Chinese state media on Friday claimed the destruction of pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily in Hong Kong was no different than American tech companies colluding to shut down the social media platform Parler. It also compared the Apple Daily shutdown, preceded by hundreds of police officials raiding its offices, to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) taking action against media outlets that violate broadcast standards. China’s state Xinhua news service railed against Western politicians for “smearing” China, demonstrating their “hypocrisy and double standards,” and interfering in China’s “internal affairs” by criticizing the crackdown on Apple Daily, raided by Hong Kong police...

Retired Green Beret Jeremy Brown tells Brooke and Timbo that the Republic has already fallen, the effects just haven’t gotten to everyone’s doorstep…yet. In a blockbuster, no-holds-barred interview, Jeremy describes how the FBI tried to recruit him to spy on fellow patriots and how the government is actively working against the interests of both America and We the People.

He details...

The UK’s National Health Service has received new instructions from the government on how it should record Covid19 “cases”, separating those who are actually sick from those who just test positive. From the beginning of the “pandemic” last spring, the NHS (and other countries all over the world) have defined a “case” as anyone who tests positive for the Sars-Cov-2 virus, regardless of whether or not they have symptoms. Given that as many as 80% of those who have been infected have no symptoms, and the propensity for the flawed PCR tests to return false-positive results, this lead to likely...

A CDC internal email released through a Freedom of Information Act request reveals just how nasty things got behind closed doors after a CDC senior scientist confessed to covering up a link between vaccines and autism, and implicated his CDC colleagues. The email, dated Sept. 2, 2018, was written by CDC's Dr. Willam (Bill) Thompson to Dr. Frank DeStefano, CDC’s head of immunization safety. In the email, Thompson responds to an interview DeStefano gave me in 2014.

It wasn’t all that long ago when a story like this was off-the-charts shocking. That is no longer the case. Similar stories now make the news on a regular basis with nary a jaw dropped.

Are we alone in the universe? So far, the only life we know of is right here on Earth. But here at NASA, we’re looking. NASA is exploring the solar system and beyond to help us answer fundamental questions about life beyond our home planet. From studying the habitability of Mars, probing promising “oceans worlds,” such as Titan and Europa, to identifying Earth-size planets around distant stars, our science missions are working together with a goal to find unmistakable signs of life beyond Earth (a field of science called astrobiology). Through the study of astrobiology, NASA invests in understanding the...

The left never quits, and that theme has been bolstered by the machinations going on in New York against Donald Trump and his organization. In what has been a clear fishing expedition from the beginning, the state’s attorney general and the Manhattan DA have joined forces to attempt to criminally charge, well, someone for something.As RedState reported previously, it was announced that the investigation had moved into the criminal realm, culminating in the convening of a grand jury. Where that would lead was anyone’s guess at the time.Now, we may have some idea. The Manhattan DA has informed Trump’s lawyers...
