Big Tech companies including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Reddit, Verizon, Airbnb, and Mailchimp will expand a project of collusion on “counterterrorism” efforts that target domestic right-wing organizations. The organization, which initially focused on building a database on content shared by Islamic extremists linked to Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban, will now shift focus to right-wing groups including the Proud Boys. Via Reuters: A counterterrorism organization formed by some of the biggest U.S. tech companies including Facebook (FB.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) is significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database, aiming to crack down...

Georgia’s corrupt Secretary of State Raffensperger, his corrupt CFO Sterling, and his corrupt deputy secretary of state Fuchs weren’t upset about Democrat election wins in Georgia, they wanted it that way. Instead, they slandered President Trump for calling out obvious fraud in their state. A report at the Georgia Record this weekend uncovered the many connections between top Republicans in Georgia who were connected to a firm that groomed Democrats for Republican jobs. No wonder these individuals did all they could to prevent President Trump from winning reelection. Landmark Communications of Atlanta, GA bills itself as the ‘go to’ firm...

As a long time member here, I am asking; wouldn't it be better to put the City/State in Parentheses at the end of the title when we all post? ie: Shooting leaves 4 dead over the weekend (Detroit, MI) Just a thought, as it would make it easier to know where it happened without having to go to the link for that info only.

The Battle of Appomattox Courthouse is considered by many historians the end of the Civil War and the start of post-Civil War America. The events of General Robert E. Lee’s surrender to General and future President Ulysses S. Grant at a small town courthouse in Central Virginia put into effect much of what was to follow. The surrender at Appomattox Courthouse was about reconciliation, healing, and restoring the Union. While the Radical Republicans had their mercifully brief time in the sun rubbing defeated Dixie’s nose in it, they represented the bleeding edge of Northern radicalism that wanted to punish the...

Joe Biden delivered remarks at the Rose Garden on Monday for the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. While speaking at the occasion in front of Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Biden tripped up repeatedly. Biden forgot a Congressman’s name and also if his mother was in attendance.

Corporate media and Big Tech colluded with the Democratic Party to gaslight the country into electing Joe Biden as a return to normalcy. Six months in, the country is getting that normalcy, and they’re getting it good and hard — but without any of the Barack Obama packaging of “hope” that sold it in the first place... According to the latest Gallup poll, America has already tired of the Biden agenda. His approval rating among his own party has slipped by near double-digits, and among Independents, he has fallen from 61 percent to 48 percent. This marks a slide the...

But here’s where the problem comes. In a virus, in a Coronavirus, that spike protein becomes part of the viral capsule. In other words, the cell wall around the virus, called the viral capsule. But it’s not in the virus. It’s in your cells. So it therefore becomes part of the cell wall of your vascular endothelium. Which means that these cells that line your blood vessels, which are supposed to be smooth so that blood flows smoothly, now have these little spikey bits sticking out. So it is absolutely inevitable that blood clots will form. Because your blood platelets...

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...

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.

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...
