Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested that his Republican colleagues take a page out of the Texas Democrats’ playbook and stage a walkout if their Senate counterparts try to jam their $3.5 trillion budget package through without GOP support. Graham (R-SC) said the massive spending plan is designed by Democrats to pass the chamber without one Republican vote using the parliamentary procedure of reconciliation, which will allow them to dodge the 60-vote filibuster threshold. “The reconciliation package is not infrastructure. It’s big government, a liberal wish list, paid family leave, all kinds of new social programs unrelated to infrastructure,” Graham said on...

Medical researchers at the Pentagon have created a microsensor implant that may eventually detect COVID-19 when inserted under the skin.Relax, conspiracy theorists — they’re not being disseminated via vaccines.The revolutionary subdermal technology was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which operates under the Pentagon umbrella, according to Sunday night’s broadcast of “60 Minutes.” The top-secret unit was launched during the Cold War to study emerging technologies for military use — among them, innovations to defend soldiers from biological weapons.Dr. Matt Hepburn, an infectious disease physician and retired Army colonel, revealed that the microsensor, which is not in widespread...

The life of a musician is a treacherous one. Many die from substance abuse, gunfire or even angry fans, whilst many, though seemingly a lot fewer, die of plain old age. There are some though, who have died from plane or helicopter crashes; many of whom are very well known and sad losses to the music industry. Here are the ten most famous. Ricky Nelson On December 31st, 1985, Rock & roll singer Ricky Nelson (45), five members of his Stone Canyon band, and his fiancée, were all killed when a fire broke out on board a DC-3 taking them...

BREAKING - Pope Francis Officially Insults The Mass Of The AgesThe "rumors" that have been circulating about the pope's intention to strangle the Usus Antqior have all been confirmed. Here is the official decree. Please scroll down for the English version. At the very bottom is a link to an accompanying letter; again, scroll down for that English translation. Note the frequent references to "Saint Paul VI" and "Saint John Paul II". I think we now see why those canonizations were hurried along - to give credibility to the claim that the Novus Ordo can actually supplant the Tridentine...

Vice President Kamala Harris is going for what a White House official told Fox News is a "routine doctor's appointment" at Walter Reed Medical Center on Sunday. The visit to the Bethesda, Maryland, hospital comes after she met with Texas Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday. Three of the Democrats had tested positive for coronavirus, with one testing positive Friday night and two others Saturday morning. Fox News asked Harris' office if the vice president is showing any symptoms of COVID-19 but they did not immediately respond.

ransomnote: Democrats get to say whatever they want - they control the Internet and who has access to it.'Vaccine Hesitancy' was cool when President Trump was in office, with Biden sneering about who would want to be first to take an insufficiently tested product and Harris ending this clip stating that if President Trump says to take the shot, she's not taking it.Video is best at the link.𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐢𝐧 on Twitter: "Does this count as vaccine disinformation? https://t.co/yYPT2ornUm" / Twitter

Viganò About the Church’s Death RattleThe demolition of the little that still survives that is Catholic by the bishops and priests marks the the Church’s Descent into the Tomb, Archbishop Viganò writes on AldoMariaValli.it (July 14).He explains that God wills that the Church imitate Christ in everything, even in his Passion. Therefore, her terrible death rattle is for Viganò the necessary premise of her resurrection because with this “Redemption is brought to completion.”We participate in the work of the Redemption not passively but as active protagonists, Viganò explains, “It is in this that we may say that we are a...

ascism has arrived in America, that insidious and pernicious combination of privately-owned companies operating in conjunction with and at the direction of a government that has no interest in free elections, only in the means of gaining and expanding its power over every aspect of our daily lives, while making these companies rich as they help enslave us to the deep state. Jen Psaki, who lied for Hillary Clinton as State Department spokesperson and now lies for the cognitively disabled Joe Biden as White House Press Secretary, has, in a series of pronouncements, admitted the lie that tech tyrants like...

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., the daughter of a Cuban immigrant, ripped her colleague Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. on "Fox News Live" Sunday for partly blaming the long-held U.S. embargo for the unrest in Cuba, where protesters continue to call for an end to the communist regime. REP. NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS: What's cruel is the way that the communist regime treats its people. There are two classes in Cuba; one is the ruling class, run by the communists, and then there is everyone else who live in squalor. They don't have access to food, they don't have access to medicine, they don't...

On July 15, 2021, the US Surgeon General called COVID misinformation an “urgent threat.” The White House also is working with social media companies to ban medical disinformation.But what both Dr. Vivek Murthy and Press Secretary Jen Psaki neglect to say is that the biggest misinformation is coming from the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Those organizations do not want you to know how many people have been killed or permanently disabled by the COVID vaccines. And they want you to believe that early treatments don’t work.They don’t want you to know that their own data shows that for the alpha...

On Friday, a federal judge in Texas blocked an Obama-era program protecting undocumented immigrants who arrived in the US as children from deportation, halting the program’s ability to accept new applicants and once again throwing the lives of more than 600,000 people into tumult.In his 77-page opinion, district court Judge Andrew Hanen concluded that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, is unlawful because it violates the Administrative Procedure Act, which governs federal rulemaking, by evading the normal “notice and comment” process in adopting new rules.Hanen’s decision doesn’t immediately affect the 616,030 people, often known as DREAMers, who...

As Landon covered earlier today, it turns out that three of the Texas Democrats have tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus after they and nearly 50 others fled the state to Washington, D.C., in order to deny their legislature a quorum for considering voter integrity bills. One of the Texan Democrats who traveled was Rep. Gene Wu (D-Houston), who, as Katie highlighted, has some pretty insufferable tweets. In his one of his more recent tweets, Wu quipped he is going to ask to ask President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to institute a mask policy, as he mockingly...

The lineup of candidates runs from the famous to the obscure and includes 21 Republicans, eight Democrats, one Libertarian, nine independents and two Green Party members. The total number of candidates was smaller than many had expected — some predictions envisioned a parade of over 100 contenders on the ballot. That could be a setback for recall supporters who had hoped for a large, prominent field to attract voters for the first, crucial question: Should Newsom be recalled, yes or no? If that question fails, the recall is over and Newsom remains in office, with the potential replacement candidates on...

Over one hundred thousand people marched across France, Saturday, to protest against President Emmanuel Macron's plans to force the vaccination of health workers and require a COVID-19 vaccine certificate - or negative test - to gain entry to bars, restaurants and movie theaters.Demonstrators say Macron’s sweeping measures - announced this week to fight a surge in covid infections - infringe on their freedom of choice.PROTESTER, CHRYSTELLE: ”Vaccinations are really about individual freedom, everyone can choose, that's not the theme here today. The theme is about the absence of freedom that is unfortunately continuing to grow in this country. That's it,...

Uganda is now transiting from the exploration phase to the development phase of its oilfields. With about three projects coming up, the country expects to develop those of its oilfields where it has some discoveries. It also expects to have a 60,000 barrels refinery and 200,000 barrels export crude oil pipeline from Uganda to Tanzania. Uganda has about 21 oil and gas discoveries, 6 billion barrels of oil in place, 1.4 billion barrels of recoverable resources, 500 Bcf of gas, 9 production licenses, over 14 discoveries to CNOOC, Total and Tullow, 3 exploration licenses to Armour Energy and Oranto Petroleum,...

As you go to church this morning, please keep Trinity Bible Chapel (TBC) in your prayers. The Waterloo-based Church has been locked out of their building since late April, despite the fact that their province has, as of two days ago, allowed churches to finally start having indoor church at capacity, so long as they socially distance and maintain two meters. In TBC’s case, the judge on Friday overseeing their case has not yet released his decision over whether or not they can have access to their building again, reserving his decision and saying “I will release something when it...
