In a historic compromise, the world has agreed to come together despite different opinions on lockdowns, vaccinations, masks, and other COVID measures. To bridge the gap between the two broad groups of opinion, those who are still scared of COVID will be locked down in their homes, never to leave again, while everyone else will be free to live their lives as normal. This is a great solution for everyone," said virologist Dr. Bob Reardon. "The people who are scared of the disease will have very little chance of catching it. They can get food delivered to them and watch...

Dear those in Fargo-Moorhead that are thinking of mandating the experimental vaccines, especially Sanford and all who work there:I encourage you to look at the Nuremberg Code number one: "Voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential."It should be a choice, even for nurses and doctors, whether to get experimental vaccines.I hope leadership looks and thinks carefully about this, whether it means more money for you or not.I hope all working for Sanford rise up against this stripping away of your/our freedoms, for all of us. If you are Christian, do you worship God or Fauci?Karen Gemar lives in...

Four men are behind bars, accused of a drive-by shooting that left a 13-year-old girl dead in Monroe, authorities said. Officers responded to the shooting scene along Icemorlee Street around 8 p.m. on Saturday. The teen victim, Loyalti Allah, was hit when someone in an SUV opened fire, according to police. She was taken to the hospital, where she died. “My baby was at the wrong place at the wrong time, but she was having fun, and she’s gone,” Loyalti’s mother, Yvette Allen, said. “Can’t never get that back.” Authorities believe the girl was sitting with friends on a picnic...

Explanation: Can a gas cloud grab a galaxy? It's not even close. The "claw" of this odd looking "creature" in the featured photo is a gas cloud known as a cometary globule. This globule, however, has ruptured. Cometary globules are typically characterized by dusty heads and elongated tails. These features cause cometary globules to have visual similarities to comets, but in reality they are very much different. Globules are frequently the birthplaces of stars, and many show very young stars in their heads. The reason for the rupture in the head of this object is not yet known. The galaxy...

General Motors‘ shift to electric vehicles isn’t going smoothly, with the auto maker announcing last week it is recalling Chevrolet Bolts—again. The recall affects previously recalled Chevrolet Bolts produced between 2017 and 2019 over battery defects that may cause fires, the company said. The issue affects 50,932 Bolts, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. Earlier this month, General Motors (ticker: GM) advised owners of the affected Bolts to avoid parking their vehicles inside or charging them unattended overnight. That warning followed a November recall for the vehicles after the NHTSA confirmed five instances of fires and...

Sometimes, Georgia abortionist Thomas Hicks killed the unborn babies whose mothers who came — or were forced to come — to his illegal abortion facility. Other times, he delivered the babies alive and then sold them through the backdoor. Jane Blasio was one of those babies. In her new book, “Taken at Birth,” the 56-year-old Ohio woman revealed the shocking truth about her birth and the strength that she found in Christ to forgive Hicks and her parents, The Christian Post reports. “God’s been there from the beginning,” she said. “He’s proved, over and over again, that He does not...

A Detroit woman said she was temporarily banished from Facebook for “hate speech” after participating in a time-honored tradition: commenting on a meme labeling the opposite sex as “dumb.” “At first I thought it was a joke [and] I’m like yeah right I’m blocked … what?” Candace King told Fox News of her social media timeout, which allegedly occurred after she participated in a thread entitled “why men are so dumb.”

Close to 70% (68.3%) of the adult population in the United States have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. While this progress represents a marked achievement in vaccinations that has led to steep declines in COVID-19 cases and deaths, vaccination coverage—and the protections provided by it—remains uneven across the country. With growing spread of the more transmissible Delta variant, cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are once again rising, largely among unvaccinated people. Persistently lower vaccination rates among Black and Hispanic people compared to their White counterparts across most states leave them at increased risk, particularly as the variant...

By early March 2021, roughly 65 million people in the U.S. — or one out of every five people — had been infected by the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, a new analysis shows. The findings, described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest that roughly 60% of coronavirus infections had gone uncounted at that point — adding to a growing body of evidence that the pandemic’s true toll is far greater than official tallies show. “It’s good to see people start estimating how far we potentially could be off,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at the Johns...

Special interest donors are covering much of the cost for Texas Democratic lawmakers to stay in pricey Washington, D.C., hotel rooms, but Texas taxpayers are still losing close to $500,000 on expenses for a legislative session that isn’t happening. Texas lawmakers who fled the legislative session in Austin for the nation’s capital ultimately will have to report all of the private money pouring in for the self-professed “fugitive” Democrats. That amount includes at least $600,000 from the political action committee of former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who ran for president in 2020. These Democrats have raised money from other sources...

CLEVELAND, OH—Under intense pressure from the Native American community and progressive activists, the Cleveland Indians have finally retired their racist Chief Wahoo logo. They won't be changing their name, though, and instead are replacing the antiquated Indian with another well-known Indian: Apu from The Simpsons. As part of a deal with Fox, Apu will now appear on all Indians merchandise and be prominently featured in all Cleveland Indians advertising. The Indians say they are finally making things right with the Native American community with this move, and they are hoping the new mascot is as inoffensive as possible. "We hope...

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday that he's expanding the city's Covid-19 mandate to require the entire municipal workforce to get vaccinated or start weekly testing by September 13. The mandate will cover employees in the school system as well as police and fire departments, the mayor said. The city has about 340,000 employees. "It means people who work in offices and people who work on the front line. Everyone," he said.

In just four months, high-doses of vitamin D reduce arterial stiffness in young, overweight/obese, vitamin-deficient, but otherwise still healthy African-Americans, researchers say. Rigid artery walls are an independent predictor of cardiovascular- related disease and death and vitamin D deficiency appears to be a contributor. In what appears to be the first randomized trial of its kind, they found that arterial stiffness was improved by vitamin D supplementation in a dose-response manner in this population, they write in the journal PLOS ONE. Participants taking 4,000 international units -- more than six times the daily 600 IUs the Institute of Medicine currently...

Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said it’s possible that the US could turn the corner in the COVID-19 pandemic in the next few weeks — and follow the same trajectory as the United Kingdom, which has started to see cases plunge again. Gottlieb said the US appears to be about three or four weeks behind the United Kingdom in the latest wave of cases, which has been driven by the highly contagious Delta variant. “If you look at the UK, they do in the last seven days appear to be turning a corner. You’re starting to see a downward...
