Fauci participated in a question-and-answer interview with two doctors, Jamie Rutland and Italo Brown, in the first video of a planned “Barbershop Medicine” series from YouTube Originals.

"Sometimes, the source matters — especially for communities that bear the major...

“The governor was in Sonoma County Monday addressing the homelessness crisis and was asked whether all the money the state is spending could be a magnet for the unhoused to come to California.” Newsom answered: “To the extent people want to come here for new beginnings and all income levels, that’s part of the California dream and we have a responsibility to accommodate and enliven and inspire and the California dream is still alive and well.”

Robert Aaron Long was given four life sentences after pleading guilty to all charges in the first four shooting deaths, saying he wanted to punish the people who enabled his sex acts. Robert Aaron Long faces still faces the death penalty if convicted in four more shooting deaths in Atlanta, where he also faces charges of domestic terrorism in addition to murder.

The fascist left obviously learned nothing from the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, where the healthy were persecuted as walking biohazards simply because they were gay. Today, the healthy being persecuted as biohazards are the unvaccinated. Those who choose not to get vaccinated are almost no threat to those of us who are vaccinated, and yet they are the ongoing targets of the left’s rising bigotry, hate, and social exclusion. This is reprehensible behavior, straight-up bigotry, and like all acts of bigotry, history will not be kind to the bigots. There is, though, one vital difference between AIDS and the...

During an interview with The New York Times‘ “Sway” podcast released on Monday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) said that if the city’s daily case rate is consistently over 200 cases per day, “we’re not only going to look at a mask mandate, but we’re going to look back at other tools that we’ve been compelled to use.” Lightfoot said, [relevant remarks begin around 9:40] “Well, look, if we get back into an area where we feel like we’re in a red zone, which we are working very hard to make sure that our daily case rate is below 200,...

The Kansas City Chiefs are retiring its horse mascot, saying the time has come to put Warpaint out to pasture. NFL fans won’t see the team’s longtime mare mascot at Arrowhead Stadium during the upcoming season, team president Mark Donovan told reporters Monday. “We feel like it’s time to retire Warpaint,” Donovan said at Missouri Western State University, the Kansas City Star reported. “A lot of reasons for that, but we feel like it’s the right thing to do. Warpaint won’t be running at Arrowhead anymore.”

It turns out novelist Peter Benchley, director Steven Spielberg and the “Jaws” book and movie were right – you don’t want to go swimming off the coast of Massachusetts. According to the latest reports, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is now considered to be the shark capital of the world as the U.S. has overtaken Australia for the dubious ‘country with the most shark attacks’ honor. Forget the “We’re #1” chants and the boat – we’re gonna need a bigger warning sign. The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s Sharktivity App (you knew there was an app for this) shows 50 great whites off...

It took me 3 hours to finally hear this on a replay of a news conference on Fox news. How many Freeper's have dramatically altered their life to work on mindfulness? Am I uniquely naïve for wondering this?

Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Tuesday’s broadcast of “America Reports” that today’s testimony from Capitol Police officers to the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was “damning.” Baier said, “I watched every minute of this. If you were watching, you saw compelling, at times damning, emotional testimony from these four officers who fought the line to try to protect the Capitol and the lawmakers inside. For anybody watching who looked at that and looked at the videos and their testimony about that day and thought it was not violent, I think that was...

Deputies said the driver ran a red light near Monitor and they tried to pull the driver...

California Democrats fret a tsunami of voter discontent and lackluster turnout could sink Gov. Gavin Newsom even as Republicans worry he could survive a Sept. 14 recall in a photo finish because of decent approval ratings and an uninspiring field of GOP opponents. More than a coronavirus resurgence and frustrating reimplementation of mask mandates in some corners of California, Newsom is under political pressure from rampant homelessness and rising crime — issues polling “off the charts” with voters across the state. The $262 billion state budget Newsom promoted as proof California is “roaring back” from the pandemic did little to...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom needs to activate his Democratic base to save his job, according to the first major poll since the recall candidate field was certified last week. A tally from the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies released Tuesday shows a tightening California race three weeks before voters receive mail ballots in the recall election targeting Newsom. The Democratic governor would defeat the recall by a narrow 3-point margin, the poll suggests, with 50 percent of the most likely voters saying they would retain Newsom versus 47 percent saying they would replace him.

The former editor of the Drudge Report, Joseph Curl, announced Tuesday the launch of Off The Press, a conservative-oriented aggregator that he says will have a "fearless attitude" toward covering "everything for those who devour news all day." Curl says the marketplace is ripe for a premier, 24/7 news aggregator that consumers can trust, with the Drudge Report having become just another echo chamber for the mainstream media. "Now more than ever, keeping up with the most important stories is a battle," Curl says. "With social media deluging everyone with endless posts on their news feeds, the internet needs an...

To prevent further spread of the Delta variant, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its mask guidance on Tuesday to recommend that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors when in areas with "substantial" and "high" transmission of Covid-19, which includes nearly two-thirds of all US counties. "In recent days I have seen new scientific data from recent outbreak investigations showing that the Delta variant behaves uniquely differently from past strains of the virus that cause Covid-19," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told a media briefing on Tuesday.

Early findings: even those who had aged out of periods or were on hormone-suppressing drugs, experienced sudden, heavier periods.
