* South Africans will not be able to apply for a gun licence on the basis that they need a firearm for self-defence, under a legislative proposal formally revived on Friday. * The secretariat says the planned legislation will demand a valid reason when applying for a firearm licence – and self defence doesn't count. South Africans will not be allowed to own guns for self defence under a newly-revived legislative proposal. The Civilian Secretariat for Police Service (CSP) on Friday published a call for public comment on a 2021 draft of the Firearms Control Amendment Bill in the Government...

Cutting heart attacks, strokes possible even in young adults with poor cardiovascular health “Usually, if the donor heart has stopped beating for more than 30 minutes before retrieval, the heart can’t be used,” Macdonald said. “Even if we can buy an extra 10 minutes, that could make the difference between someone having a heart and someone missing out. For people who are literally on death’s door, this could be life-changing.” Spiders aren’t the only venomous creatures being studied for medical purposes. A diagnostic drug in development uses the potent venom of the Israeli deathstalker scorpion and an infrared dye to...

Vanity post. Why doesn't my health care provider have a program in place to protect the naturally immunized survivors of CoVID? It would be so simple to have a blood test advertised for SARS-1 / CoVID antibodies that doesn't have the PCR false readings reputation to contend with, with documentation of the test and results. These people need to be isolated from the deleterious effects of the genetic treatment 'jab' to protect the likely need for blood, untainted by 'spikes', now that 1/2 of the country is contaminated with CoVID genetic material.

On Monday, Governor Tom Wolf posted on his Facebook page the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has joined the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The RGGI is a cooperative effort to cap and reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector. Other states include Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia.

The CDC's COVID vaccine tracker reports that the shots have continued their downward spiral from the daily high of 4,304,851 on April 1, to 437,466 on July 14, a drop of almost 90%. This hasn't stopped the propaganda media from continuing to declare great success convincing people to roll up their sleeves for their injections. David Leonhardt of the New York Times crowed Monday morning, "Many vaccine skeptics have since changed their minds and gotten shots" and proceeds to try to tell us the keys to anti-vaccine persuasion.

This morning Biden was slated to welcome the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the White House to honor the team for winning the Super Bowl. The event started at 11:15 a.m. EDT and since Biden was the one who did the talking it was an event full of gaffes! When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave a jersey with the number 46 to Biden he was looking confused and he even said the quiet part out loud: “Ok, what are we doing now?” Video below: Twitter LinkTom Brady was also in attendance. For Brady, this marks his first celebratory trip to the...

Legendary quarterback Tom Brady appeared with President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday to celebrate the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2020 Super Bowl championship despite him snubbing former presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama. Brady mocked Trump and his supporters during his speech at the White House, alluding to those in America who believed that Biden did not beat Trump fairly in the 2020 election.

The Biden administration’s gross collusion with Big Tech to censor opposing viewpoints is not only blatant tyranny but also obvious hypocrisy.Facebook is killing people, misinformation is rampant, and the only people who can save us from ourselves are the all-wise executives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue whose judgment is infallible and whose motives are pure. That’s the message emanating from the White House and the corporate press.White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced last week that, due to 12 unnamed people on social media posting what the Biden administration considers to be misinformation, the White House is actively “flagging problematic posts...

Although many colleges and universities today claim to be dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion, their policies and practices often violate those principles. Among the most common types of violations are single-sex programs for women and girls, which exclude men and boys. Such violations are pervasive through the University of North Carolina System, as described in this December 2020 report. In particular, the UNC System has discriminated against men since 1993 through the BRIDGES program, which provides leadership training exclusively to women in higher education. This discrimination violates Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the part of federal...

Be honest, does the idea of canine attack dogs trained to sniff out COVID-19 fill you with a sense of safety and security, or does it signal just a touch of end times foreboding within you? In my mind, I see the COVID K9 unit as a good thing, right up to the moment they are used to hunt down “the unvaccinated” so they can be removed and detained in a facility to be named later. Think that’s just fearmongering? Maybe you need to read about Bill A416 in New York. It’s really not hard to see the direction that...

Last Monday, French president Emmanuel Macron told his subjects that COVID vaccinations would now be mandatory for certain segments of the population, and what did we tell you would happen? We told you that all of Europe would soon follow his lead. Well, that didn’t take long. Today England announced draconian vaccination requirements, and in a fitting touch of irony, they made the announcement on ‘Freedom Day’. In America we have a little bit of a reprieve, it is illegal to make any vaccine mandatory if it has not been approved by the FDA, which none of the COVID vaccines...

Jewish Voice for Peace, a left-wing anti-Israel group in the US, observed Tisha B’av, the Jewish holy day commemorating the destruction of the Jewish Temples and the subsequent destruction of the Biblical Kingdoms of Israel, by “praying” for the destruction of modern Israel. TISHA B’AV: ALL ABOUT GAZA AND THE “OCCUPATION” Before the holy day, JVP, an organization the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) described as a “driving force behind the anti-Semitic Boycott Divestment Sanctions movement, called for a virtual Tisha B’Av event on their website. For this purpose, the organization offered a Tisha B’Av guidebook. While acknowledging the Jewish aspect of...

President Bill Clinton reportedly turned down tea with Queen Elizabeth during his first official visit to the UK in 1997 — because he wanted to “be a tourist” and try out an Indian restaurant. Buckingham Palace told the office of Prime Minister Tony Blair that “HM the Queen would be very pleased” to invite the Clintons to tea on their visit from summits in Paris and The Hague, the Guardian reported, citing formerly classified documents. But Downing Street private secretary Philip Barton replied: “The Americans said that the president and Mrs. Clinton were very grateful for HM The Queen’s invitation...
