One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,both as book (1962) and movie (1975), was a huge commercial and cultural success. The central dramatic conflict pitted Randall McMurphy, heroic rebel played in the movie by Jack Nicholson, against his nemesis, the cold-hearted bureaucrat Nurse Ratched, played by Louise Fletcher. Not even the most marijuana-marinated hippie could miss the simple-minded duality presented in Ken Kesey's work. Randall McMurphy is a charming, near-perfect free spirit who deserves our love and support. On the other hand, Nurse Ratched is a mean, vicious, horrible person who should be hated by the entire human race. Clearly, Nurse...

The Senate Armed Services Committee has approved language in its annual defense policy bill that would require women to register for the draft. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) approved by the committee behind closed doors Wednesday “amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service,” according to a summary released Thursday. The United States has not instituted a draft since the Vietnam War, and Pentagon officials have repeatedly said they intend to keep the force all-volunteer. But men ages 18 through 25 still have to register with what’s officially known as the Selective...

It’s easy to laugh at Joe Biden’s incoherence during Wednesday night’s town hall in Cincinnati, Ohio. The hall was at least half empty, a stone-faced Don Lemon struggled not to giggle or burst into tears (I couldn’t tell which), and Biden’s word soup was worse even than it usually is. But Deb Heine, one of the most astute conservative writers, tweeted out something very important that made me realize that Joe, no matter how quickly he’s decomposing, is still acting as a mouthpiece telling us what our future holds. The stories about Biden’s serious mental lapses are all over the...

On Thursday, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey addressed concerns about the recent rise in COVID-19 cases in the state and its low vaccination rate. In the last two weeks, the state has seen over 9,900 cases of COVID-19. In Jefferson County alone, over 1,000 new cases have been reported. Health officials and the governor herself site the low vaccination rate as a major hurdle in trying to combat the virus and the new, highly contagious Delta variant. “Let’s be crystal clear about this issue. And media, I want you to start reporting the facts. The new cases of COVID are because...

Mark Twain is believed to have uttered this profundity about history, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Are we catching a glimpse of COVID history beginning to rhyme with itself? Today’s story is, “Veterinarian dies in China from rare monkey virus.” Substitute “ophthalmologist” for “veterinarian” and “bat” for “monkey” and see if you can hear the rhyme from early 2020. A year and a half ago, in February 2020, shortly after President Trump banned travel to the US from China, we learned of this story: “Li Wenliang: Coronavirus kills Chinese whistleblower doctor.” He was a Wuhan hospital ophthalmologist...

(Reuters) - One of the Pennsylvania counties targeted in a Republican lawmaker's "forensic investigation" into the 2020 election has beefed up security around its courthouse following threatening posts on social media, one of its commissioners told Reuters. The incendiary Facebook posts appeared targeted at members of Tioga County's all-Republican board of commissioners after they decided not to comply with the lawmaker's request to turn over their voting machines, Commissioner Erick Coolidge said. One individual, in an apparent reference to the county's three commissioners, called them traitors and said there were "plenty of trees" in a nearby gorge to "hang ropes...

Israel's battle against the delta variant of the coronavirus is expected to last many months, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz warned on Wednesday. "We expect to see an increase in cases of infection in the coming weeks, and unfortunately also in the number of seriously ill patients," he said at a news conference. "We understand that the coronavirus won't soon disappear from the world. Our strategy is clear – living with the coronavirus," he said, adding that members of the public will have to demonstrate personal responsibility if restrictions that would affect daily routines are to be avoided. Israel has among...

Senator Ron Johnson said 84% of vaccinated in Israel are testing positive for Covid.Israel mandated their citizens to take the experimental mRNA gene thereapy. This is even though the Phizer, Moderna, etc... will not tell the public what is in the shots. Remember they have no liability.You then see David Bauer who heads up the program at the main bio weapons lab in London telling us it reduces your immune system by 5 to 6 fold. Hence, this is why you will need booster shots for the rest of your life. Eventually 10 booster shots a year for all those...

Researchers from Spain have discovered that the Pfizer-BioNTech Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine contains graphene oxide.The research team from the University of Almeria‘s Department of Engineering recently published a report titled “Graphene Oxide Detection in Aqueous Suspension: Observational Study in Optical and Electron Microscopy.”In this study, the Spanish researchers found that each dose of the Pfizer vaccine they examined contained around 747 nanograms of graphene oxide. This meant that more than 99 percent of the Pfizer vaccine was made up entirely of graphene oxide.Graphene oxide, a material formed from graphite, is a known toxic substance. Previous studies have shown that graphene-based...

“My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men” (Proverbs 23:26-28).

Joe Biden claimed he could not do anything to stop the Russian-German pipeline Nord Stream 2 from being completed. This comes as Republicans said Biden did a major geopolitical favor for Vladimir Putin by lifting U.S. sanctions on pipeline operators. However, Biden said German Chancellor Angela Merkel would prevent Russia from using Nord Stream 2 to exert political pressure on Ukraine. …
