Summer may be here, but not everyone is apparently embracing a return to normalcy. Seven in 10 Americans are “anxious” over the thought of returning to their pre-pandemic lives. That’s according to a new study of 2,000 U.S. residents, which examined what impact the COVID-19 pandemic might have on the long-term mental health of respondents. Large crowds (61%), maskless faces (46%), and people sneezing or coughing (43%) all rank high on the list of potential post-pandemic anxiety triggers. Nearly two-thirds of respondents even say they’ll continue wearing masks after the pandemic due to anxiety about germs. Conducted by OnePoll on...

Green New Deal proponents like to throw around the phrase “climate justice.” This phrase refers to the idea that marginalized communities are harmed the most by the predicted impacts of climate change. The reality is that green-energy initiatives often ravage these communities and the environment. The green-energy movement is nothing more than a massive wealth distribution scheme meant to fundamentally change the West’s economic systems. The goal is evident when you hear Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), talk about the “stakeholder capitalism” framework he has been pushing for the last 50 years. It is...

In another sign, the megadrought is wreaking havoc across the Western half of the US. There are multiple portions of the Mississippi River that are nearing record low water levels that may inhibit commercial or private vessels from traversing the critical waterway. The stretch of the Mississippi River at St. Paul, Minnesota, is around 3.2 feet Wednesday. That’s about six inches from the record low of 2.6 feet set in 1976. A camera on the Wabasha Street Bridge that spans the Mississippi River in downtown St. Paul shows the receding waterline.Downstream, the Mississippi River at Red Wing is also near...

HALLANDALE BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A wooden boat washed ashore in between Hollywood and Hallandale Beach, and witnesses said Cuban migrants were on board. The boat washed ashore along Hallandale Beach Boulevard and A1A, at around 8:45 a.m., Tuesday. “They were like kissing the ground and celebrating,” said Dylan Holland, who works on the beach. “They came over to us. They high-fived us, and we gave them water.” Witnesses said about four or five men walked onto the beach. They said they were happy and laughing and asked for directions to Miami.

I'm transferring many files between 2 computers on my home network and it's running at 10mbs. Both network cards are 100mbs and the router should be at least 100mbs. Before I run a Cat 5 across a 100 ft distance crossing transmit and receive, is there something I should check now?

If you haven't noticed, as of late, the President has turned up the burner a few degrees and absolutely cooking the RINOs. Conor McGregor's leg took less damage than the RINOs have over the past few week. The illusion of popularity is critical for the enemy. One piece of knowledge the Marxists pass down from generation to generation is people want to publicly be on the side of the majority. It's why control of the media and Hollywood is so important. When people think they hold "unpopular" views, they keep it private for fear of intimidation and being singled out....

A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed the lawsuit brought by former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore against the comedian who ridiculed him on his cable television show. U.S. District Judge John Cronan of the Southern District of New York granted summary judgment in favor of Sacha Baron Cohen in a 26-page memorandum. The suit was dismissed with prejudice, which means Moore cannot refile the suit. Showtime Networks Inc. and CBS Corporation were also granted summary judgement. Moore’s attorney, Larry Klayman, immediately filed notice that Moore intended to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Moore and his...

Stanford University recently announced work on a “groundbreaking ‘superhero’ vaccine inspired by the DNA code of Olympic athletes.”1 Euan Ashley is a professor of medicine and genetics at Stanford University, and the genetic scientist behind this attempt to use science to adjust your DNA, with unknown short-term and long-term consequences. Science has been manipulating plant DNA for decades, culminating recently in the development of fake meat. Bill Gates and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are pushing for all people in Western nations to swap traditional, whole foods for mass-produced fake food grown in a laboratory.

Israel’s High Court of Justice ruled on Sunday that the state must allow same-sex couples and single men to become parents through surrogacy, after the government said last week that passing a law to this effect was politically “unfeasible.” The court also said that the state must make the requirements for same-sex couples and single men to become parents as those set for women. The panel of justices, headed by Supreme Court President Esther Hayut, said that restrictions barring same-sex male couples and single men from surrogacy must be nullified within six months. “As it has been determined that the...

Elmer Fudd is back to his gun-toting ways again and back to shooting at Bugs Bunny with his hunting rifle in the new season on HBO Max after losing his guns in last year’s Looney Tunes Cartoons. Last year, HBO Max aired the revived series Looney Tunes Cartoons, which continued the feud between the wisecracking rabbit and the wascally wabbit hunter. Both Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam had their guns confiscated for the first season of the Looney Tunes revival due to worries about cartoon characters carrying firearms in children’s programming. Looney Tunes Cartoons returned on HBO Max this week...

The Covid 19 shot is an experimental “Medical Trail” and since that is the case, all pilots that have taken part in the experimental program must be grounded because of health dangers, such as blood clots and heart problems.

[Catholic Caucus] Gary Michael Voris is wrong: the ancient immemorial Mass is never an idolHere’s a recent outburst from Gary:First, Gary needs some instruction on how the internet’s work. A claim on the Internet to represent SSPX is not trustworthy. Because of the nature of the Internet every claim made thereon must be verified. Without verification these individuals who use denigrating and indecent language do not represent Mass-going Catholics simply because they claim to.Second, the immemorial traditional Latin Mass is never an idol: it is always and in every case of vanquisher and a destroyer of idols. This is the...

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The trial of wealthy Democratic donor Ed Buck, who is charged in connection with the overdose deaths of two men at his West Hollywood apartment, got underway Tuesday. Nearly two years after he was arrested and charged by federal prosecutors, Buck is going on trial for providing the fatal doses to those two men, running a drug den and persuading others to travel for prostitution. The 66-year-old has pleaded not guilty to nine felony charges that could put him in prison for life if he's convicted. The arrest of Buck in 2019 marked a turning point...

As unprecedented, large-scale protests in Cuba driven by economic instability and food and fuel shortages also amid a deeply mismanaged pandemic response continue, the US Coast Guard has a message for Cubans wishing to flee the increasingly chaotic Communist-ruled island: don’t come. “Please don’t take to the sea,” Rear Admiral Eric C. Jones said in a statement. “The Coast Guard along with our local, state and federal partners are monitoring any activity” that looks suspicious or unsafe in the Florida straits “including unpermitted vessel departures from Florida to Cuba.” Illustrative image via US Coast Guard But the words also appear...

An executive at Peter Thiel’s venture capital fund is running for a US Senate seat with $10 million in backing from his boss. Blake Masters, the 34-year-old chief operating officer at investment firm Thiel Capital and a former protege of the billionaire at Stanford, announced Monday that he is running as a Republican to unseat Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly in 2022. In his campaign launch, Masters pledged to “completely end illegal immigration” and fight “indoctrination” in the school system. Masters has never held public office and faces a crowded GOP primary field that includes state Attorney General Mark Brnovich...

Tuesday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci said that children as young as “greater than two years old” should wear masks if they are unvaccinated. Fauci added that later this year, once data was available on vaccinations on those under the age of 12, the Food and Drug Administration could green-light the vaccines for those of that age. Well, a couple of questions and the answers are, the children who are not able to get vaccinated because of their age should follow — their parents should follow with...

Who killed Ashli Babbitt? His name is Lt. Michael Byrd. So the only deliberate killing on January 6 was a black male police officer who shot a white female Trump supporter through the neck. Are you still puzzled why the media is hiding Byrd's identity?

President Joe Biden claimed on Tuesday that January 6 rioters are worse than slave-owning Confederates in the Civil War because they breached the U.S. Capitol. During a Tuesday speech in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Biden mocked Republicans for their attempts to pass voter integrity legislation. He said: The assault on free and fair elections is just such a threat — literally. I’ve said it before. We’re facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. It’s not hyperbole — since the Civil War. Confederates, back then, never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January 6. I’m not saying...
