Leave it to mainstream media to finally catch up to what alternative media has been reporting on for months. A 13-year-old Michigan boy, Jacob Clynick, died just days after receiving his second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 “vaccine.” It was discovered that he had heart inflammation despite not having a medical condition to cause it. It isn’t often that we give far-left Newsweek kudos, but they’re one of the first in mainstream media to report on such incidents even though they’ve been getting reported to the CDC shortly after the vaccines were giving Emergency Use Authorization. Even this article is...

Nashville's Hot Chicken Festival kicks off at 12pm on Sunday in East Park where some amateurs are showing off their skills and turning up the heat. It's no secret Nashville produces some of the best hot chicken in the country, and local amateur chefs with wannabe recipes are preparing to sizzle some senses this weekend. 76-year-old Cha Cha Noser swears by it, and says if you think it's too hot, "You're way too cold baby." "I know it tastes good and makes you feel even better," Noser said. Another Nashville chef, Nathan Miller, barely used to use chicken in his...

Bruce Lee’s daughter has spoken up to say she finds Quentin Tarantino’s take on her father exhausting. “I’m really xxxx tired of white men in Hollywood trying to tell me who Bruce Lee was,” Shannon Lee wrote in a Hollywood Reporter guest column response to the director’s comments about her dad made on Joe Rogan’s Spotify podcast. SNIP “I’m tired of hearing from white men in Hollywood that he was arrogant and an xxxx when they have no idea and cannot fathom what it might have taken to get work in 1960s and ’70s Hollywood as a Chinese man with...

If you were to tell them that the number of adverse reactions just broke 400,000, they likely wouldn’t believe you. If you told them the data comes from the CDC, they’d want to verify it themselves because surely government, Big Tech, Big Pharma, academia, and mainstream media would have all known about this and changed their tune on the “vaccines” by now if such insanely high numbers were accurate. It’s up to you, intrepid readers, to get this information to everyone you know.Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date, usually about a...

Republicans need to abandon their longtime, reflexive loyalty to the FBI.It’s been a gold star week for the men and women of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Nearly six months after the events of January 6, the FBI, under the direction of Joe Biden’s vengeful Justice Department, is accelerating the nationwide manhunt for anyone involved. Since June 23, agents have arrested 17 people from Florida to California. Charges range from assaulting police officers and criminal trespassing to something called “destruction of property in special maritime and territorial jurisdiction and aiding and abetting.” The dragnet is part of the nonstop campaign...

The Church of England’s first-ever transwoman priest has declared that “God is non-binary” and questioned whether He is “just genuinely like a guy?” Reverend Canon Sarah Jones, currently of the St John the Baptist Church in Cardiff, Wales, was ordained by the Church of England some two decades ago, telling the Anglican state church at the time: “‘Look, there’s this medical history that you need to know about. The cleric told ITV News that “They were fine” with the disclosure, although, as she put it, they were initially “a little bit sort of, ‘Oh, OK, we don’t really know what...

[Catholic Caucus] President of Pontifical Academy for Life Backs Italian Anti-Homophobia BillEven though the Holy See has sent a diplomatic note to the Italian government expressing its concerns about the bill, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia has twice voiced his support on his own.VATICAN CITY — Despite the Holy See making a rare intervention in Italian politics last month to express concerns about an anti-homophobia bill passing through the Italian Parliament, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia has twice voiced his support for the proposed legislation and called for greater social commitment to root out discrimination based on sexual orientation.“The Church, which has never been...

TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday he has urged Pope Francis to come to Canada to apologize for church-run boarding schools where hundreds of unmarked graves have been found, and he said Canadians are “horrified and ashamed” by their government’s longtime policy of forcing Indigenous children to attend such schools. Indigenous leaders said this week that 600 or more remains were discovered at the Marieval Indian Residential School, which operated from 1899 to 1997 in the province of Saskatchewan. Last month, some 215 remains were reported at a similar school in British Columbia. From the 19th century...

A historic Catholic church in downtown Denver was tagged with graffiti on Monday evening, in a possible reference to the controversy over former Catholic-run schools for Indigenous in Canada. The number “1323” was discovered painted in large red figures on an outer wall of Holy Ghost Catholic Church on Monday. The graffiti was cleaned off by Tuesday morning. Mark Haas, spokesman for the archdiocese of Denver, told CNA that the paint was water-based and washed off easily. He said the church’s pastor, Father Christoher Uhl, hopes to put the incident behind him and not draw any additional attention to the...

The history of Catholic immigrants to the United States and their descendants is exemplary of the American dream, and intertwined with the Democratic party. I myself am a typical example of this Catholic Democratic legacy. My grandparents were immigrants, arriving here dirt-poor from Sicily. My father grew up in his father’s trade and was a commercial fisherman; my maternal grandfather was a cement mason. They were classic working-class people. Both of my parents were registered Democrats—New Deal Democrats—their whole lives. What the Democratic party, with its vital support for labor unions, brought to our country at the time helped my...

In America, national, state, and local governments, along with allied companies and colleges, have been laying on the propaganda and pressure for everyone to take experimental coronavirus vaccines, some of which are not even vaccines under the normal meaning of the term. “The vaccines are safe and effective,” is the refrain of the pushers, though there is much reason to doubt that assurance.At least nobody is forcing us to take the vaccines, Americans may say to themselves for a modicum of relief. But pressure — often supported by government even if implemented by private parties — to take the experimental...

By Meryl Nass, MD | May 16, 2021 Last July, FDA sent out warning letters to supplement companies, informing them that N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) could no longer be marketed as an ingredient in food supplements, using the justification that it was also a licensed drug. FDA has concluded that NAC products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(ff)(3)(B)(i)]. Under this provision, if an article (such as NAC) has been approved as a new drug under section 505 of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 355], then products containing that article are...

A new Tesla Model S Plaid caught fire on Tuesday while the driver was at the wheel, according to Charles McGarvey, chief fire officer for the Lower Merion Township Fire Department in Pennsylvania. The driver’s lawyers say he noticed smoke coming out of the back of the vehicle and had to force his way out of the car. Tesla began deliveries of the Model S Plaid, a new high-performance version of its flagship sedan, in June. Earlier, CEO Elon Musk said that deliveries would begin in February.

A dietary supplement — NAC — is showing promise in helping pot addicts overcome the urge to smoke. When it comes to substance use disorders, alcohol use takes the greatest toll, both in dollars and health problems. But marijuana addiction is a growing concern, for a couple of reasons. There may be more users. Pot is now legal in three American states and Canada’s new Liberal government plans to legalize and regulate it. And the level of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, is now so high, experts worry pot smoking will have worse consequences in the future, especially for...

Tricia Romano writes about how a convicted rapist became culturally cuddly. Mike Tyson might not be the boxing heavyweight champion of the world anymore, but he's the champ of the comeback: he's just finished his first one-man show in Las Vegas and he just launched an iPhone app. As he nurses his hopes to get his show onto Broadway, he’s also busy flying to Poland pimping energy drinks and telling overseas audiences during appearances about his lifelong goal: becoming a missionary. Before her ill-fated talk show folded on Oprah's network, Rosie O'Donnell had the boxer on as a guest, and...

Today’s jobs reports showed that labor force participation did not improve since May and remain substantially below pre-Covid levels. Over the longer term, we can see that M2 Money Velocity peaked around the same time that US labor force participant peaked (1997). And it has been downhill since 1997 with Covid accelerating the decline. So, it is not just Covid that is killing money velocity and labor force participation. I wonder if The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, had anything to do with M2 Velocity getting crushed? Nothing has been the same...

Hundreds of American businesses have been hit by a ransomware attack ahead of the Fourth of July holiday weekend, according to the cybersecurity company Huntress Labs. Huntress Labs said on Friday that 200 American businesses were hit after an incident at the Miami-based IT firm Kaseya, potentially marking the latest in a line of hacks destabilizing US companies. “This is a colossal and devastating supply chain attack,” John Hammond, a senior security researcher with Huntress, said in an email, referring to an increasingly high profile hacker technique of hijacking one piece of software to compromise hundreds or thousands of users...

President Joe Biden has added to our lexicon in some colorful ways.He taught us the phrase “dog-faced pony soldier.” He creatively summarized the Declaration of Independence. He even resurrected an archaic term with the use of “malarkey.”And now he’ll teach us another word as we try to make sense of what happened during the White House naturalization ceremony on Friday: paraphasia.Paraphasia isn’t one of Biden’s words, but it is the technical term for the word salad that so often falls out of his mouth and sounds suspiciously like the way people with dementia string together real words in nonsensical ways.But...

The Biden administration’s Executive Office of the President (EOP) has 560 employees and a payroll of close to $50 million — the highest of any administration in at least 12 years, according to data released Thursday.While President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are making their legally specified annual salaries of $400,000 and $235,100, respectively, more than 250 other officials are making at least six figures this year.White House press secretary Jen Psaki, for example, is one of 22 West Wing employees pulling in a taxpayer-funded salary of $180,000.Other prominent figures making the same money include Chief of Staff Ron...
