Outspoken conservative country music star John Rich recently called out his fellow right-leaning artists for being too afraid to stand up for their politic views as “cancel culture” takes hold in Nashville. Rich also highlighted a growing disconnect between country music’s conservative fan base and the liberals who now dominate the industry. MEAWW reported that one-half of the Grammy-winning country duo “Big & Rich” recently dished on the disconnect between the country music industry and its fans. Rich says that while most country music fans are conservatives, those who actually run the industry are mostly liberal. He says its this...

Charlottesville, Virginia's cancellation of history and art continued Saturday with an emergency meeting to bring down a statue featuring explorers Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea. The Charlottesville City Council voted unanimously in a meeting hastily called on 20 minutes notice to take down the explorers after toppling statues of confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson on Saturday. "I feel that it should just be melted down," a Sacagawea descendant Rose Ann Abrahamson said during the council meeting, The Daily Progress reported. “I feel that it's entirely offensive and it should be obliterated." Sacagawea was a 16-year-old...

Joe Biden’s insistence that Afghanistan’s defense forces can withstand the Taliban did little to persuade allies and partners anxious about the militant group’s surge in the months since the president announced his U.S. withdrawal plan. “Overall, [Biden's] comments were more to justify [his] own decision but not in line with [the] ground situation,” an Asia-Pacific intelligence officer who has served in Afghanistan said of Biden’s assessment delivered in remarks Thursday. “Taliban would be pleased with [Thursday’s] comments.” Taliban fighters have more than doubled the number of districts they hold in the country since May 1, a surge that foreign officials...

After analysing 75,000 Covid patients, researchers observed reductions in stroke, deep vain thrombosis (DVT), and sepsis. In addition to this, people who have been vaccinated against influenza had rare chances of being rushed to the emergency and Intensive Care Units (ICU). As per the study, the flu vaccine is able to reduce the risk of only a few problems caused by the coronavirus. Covid patients who were not vaccinated against the flu have 45 to 58 per cent more chances of having a stroke, 40 per cent chances of developing DVT, and are 36 to 45 per cent more likely...

“Minister Donohoe recalled the Irish position on the matter,” the spokesperson said of the finance minister’s comments to Yellen. Ireland is one of just seven of the 139 countries part of the global minimum tax negotiations that have not signed on to an agreement for a global minimum tax of at least 15% on international businesses, a number that is higher than Ireland's famously competitive corporate tax rate of 12.5%. The other six countries are Estonia, Hungary, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Barbados, and Nigeria. .....There are still several obstacles in the way of it becoming effective, as the agreement was only...

When some readers installed the new Microsoft Edge browser — which replaces the old “legacy Edge” — they got a big surprise. They discovered that Edge had somehow magically absorbed all the usernames and passwords they’d carefully saved in their previously installed browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and legacy Edge.What’s even more surprising is that Edge — which until recently couldn’t import or export passwords at all — may be doing this new behavior by design.The bad news is that you shouldn’t store passwords in Edge in the first place — or in any browser, really. This may...

A Haitian doctor who has been a fixture in Florida for more than two decades has been arrested in Haiti under suspicion that he was one of the leaders behind the middle-of-the-night assassination of President Jovenel Moïse last week, Haiti’s police chief said Sunday. Christian Emmanuel Sanon’s name was mentioned by several of the people who are in custody in the case, Haiti National Police Chief Léon Charles said. Sanon was the first person one of the suspects called after being captured. The Haiti National Police arrested him as part of their ongoing investigation into the leadership of the group...

Lauren Boebert got personal on Sunday when she brought Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's grandmother into a Twitter war of words as the two bickered over government assistance. The back-and-forth started when AOC sarcastically taunted Boebert over her 'Good ol conservative values' when in her Conservative Political Action Conference speech on Saturday she told federal government to 'leave us the hell alone.' 'Ask Abuela how that government reliance is going,' Boebert wrote on Twitter Sunday, referencing a tweet last month where Ocasio-Cortez shared images of her grandmother's dilapidated home in Puerto Rico – still in ruins from the 2017 hurricane season.

Pfizer Inc says it plans to meet with top U.S. health officials on Monday to discuss the potential federal authorization of a third dose of its COVID-19 vaccine. The meeting with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) comes just days after the company asserted that booster shots would be needed within 12 months. Last week, Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech announced that early clinical trials found the third dose, given six months after the second shot, generated levels of neutralizing antibodies five to 10 times higher than the initial two doses.

Republicans mocked a tweet from a State Department official who tied Sunday's Cuban protests with the country's rise in COVID-19 cases. Julie Chung, the acting assistant secretary of the department's Buruea of Western Hemisphere Affairs tweeted Sunday, 'Peaceful protests are growing in Cuba as the Cuban people exercise their right to peaceful assembly to express concern about rising COVID cases/deaths & medicine shortage.' 'We commend the numerous efforts of the Cuban people mobilizing donations to help neighbors,' she added.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is set to announced a new warning that the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is linked to a rare autoimmune disease. Four people familiar with the situation told The Washington Post, the shot has causes rare instances of Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare disorder in which the immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system, paralyzing parts of the body. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is said to have received about 100 preliminary reports of Guillain-Barré following the one-dose vaccine

The Space Force was created at the end of 2019. Six months later it declared war on “racism”. “Racism is an enemy," Gen. John Raymond and Chief Master Sgt. Roger Towberman declared, disabusing anyone who might have thought the military enemy was Communist China, Iran, Russia, or any of the other antagonists that the Space Force was tasked with countering. While the People's Republic of China was deploying its series of Long March rockets, Black Lives Matter mobs were wrecking American cities and Gen. Raymond was focused on pandering to the racist mob. As China deployed its first Mars mission,...

Guess what’s unconstitutional? When the federal government tells property owners they cannot be paid by tenants who rent their property. In September 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told state courts that they could not hear eviction proceedings and unilaterally declared that private property owners had to allow non-paying renters to live rent-free until the CDC says otherwise. At the time, the CDC pointed to COVID-19 as justification for its unprecedented power grab, but it quickly proclaimed that the federal agency could stop evictions at anytime in the name of “fairness”—pandemic or not. If this sounds...

Country music star John Rich of Big & Rich told Breitbart News this weekend that the “very liberal” majority of those in the country music industry have become “emboldened” in recent months to push woke leftist ideology publicly in contravention of the views of the majority of the country music audience. Rich said the mere “threat of cancellation” keeps conservative-leaning artists from speaking out, arguing it is actually a “step deeper than” cancel culture — ultimately creating a divide between the country music industry and the country music audience. “The industry of country is, I would say, I can’t give...

It is called reader loyalty. And it still exists. But only just. “What we have recently experienced is that a growing number of readers have been phoning in to our offices to let us know how important it is for them that we are still putting out a print version of our paper.” Those are the words of Benjamin Piel, the editor-in-chief of the MindenerTageblatt, a daily newspaper published in the town of Minden in the northwestern German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Its circulation is currently running at around 26,000. But that number is shrinking — despite those loyal subscribers...

On the way home from his psychiatric practice, Dr. John Masko used to stop at St. Mary’s Abbey in Wrentham, Massachusetts, to buy chocolates that the nuns made — and sometimes to attend Mass. On those visits to the Trappistine monastery in the 1990s, he discovered something that changed his understanding of living the faith: a gift he is sharing through the new podcast series, “The Beauty Within.” Glimpses of the sisters at work and prayer led him to reconsider his assumptions about cloistered nuns, those who live a life of prayer inside their monastery and don’t do ministry in...
