On Monday, President Biden announced that U.S. troops in Iraq would be out of the combat business at the end of the year, but said the troops would “continue to train, to assist” Iraqi Security Forces starting in January 2022. This represents the latest in a multi-generational unwillingness on Washington’s part to acknowledge reality and get our troops completely out of Iraq – and keep them out.

My family had a scare today. Not the first one, but the scariest. My elderly parents live with me for this exact reason: so I can get them help in an emergency if/when they need it. I awoke to my mother lying on the couch, white as a ghost and holding her chest. I asked what was wrong and she told me she was having chest pains. After checking her blood pressure, I rushed her to our local ER. What transpired next left me dumbfounded and wondering if there is any way to fix what we witnessed. The first issue...

Nicolle Wallace has let the Democrats' cat out of the bag regarding the January 6 hearings. Somebody should have told Wallace that she wasn't supposed to admit that the 1/6 hearings are fundamentally about giving the Dems a platform for the 2022 midterm elections. But Wallace couldn't help herself. On her MSNBC show this afternoon, after admitting that "this is absolutely political," she said: "I think the security questions of the Republican party as a domestic-terror threat should be front and center for the Democrats in these midterm elections."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

FBI is attempting to do damage control after it was revealed the law enforcement bureau initiated and carried out a significant portion of the kidnapping plot against Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer last year. The FBI holds sacred the rights of individuals to peacefully exercise their First Amendment freedoms," he said. The FBI's heavy involvement in the plot raises serious questions about how the agency conducts operations, for what purpose and to what extent agents were involved in the January 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

Black Lives Matter is giving a Rhode Island senator an ultimatum to cut all ties with a controversial country club accused of only admitting white people — even though he has already denied being a member. BLM Rhode Island told WLNE that Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse has until next Friday to either resign or cut ties with Newport-based Bailey’s Beach Club — or it will make his life miserable, the station said. “We’ll go to his club, we’ll go to his office, we’ll go to his home — wherever we need to go,” one of the chapter’s directors, Mark Fisher, vowed....

The Food and Drug Administration claims to follow the science. So why is it attacking ivermectin, a medication it certified in 1996? Earlier this year the agency put out a special warning that “you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.” The FDA’s statement included words and phrases such as “serious harm,” “hospitalized,” “dangerous,” “very dangerous,” “seizures,” “coma and even death” and “highly toxic.” Ivermectin fights 21 viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the cause of Covid-19. A single dose reduced the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in cells by 99.8% in 24 hours and 99.98% in 48 hours, according to a...

An out-of-town guest staying at a hotel in the city’s Old Town-Chinatown was on a walk Monday afternoon when a stranger chased her down, threw her to the ground from behind and stabbed her in an unprovoked attack, witnesses told police. The visitor lay bleeding in the middle of the street as officers arrested a 44-year-old woman near the scene at Northwest Couch Street and Third Avenue. Tammy Marie Imholt was “extremely aggressive and belligerent” and covered in blood herself when police arrested her, according to court documents. Two private security officers with Portland Patrol Inc. alerted police to the...

We filed our federal taxes electronically in 2019. We had a lot of charitable contributions which required a separate page to list them. The electronic submission system had no way to attach the second sheet. IRS wrote to us saying we had to justify the contributions so we sent them the second page that was omitted from the original return. Then IRS wrote to us AGAIN saying send us the second page. So we sent it again. Now they have written to us saying if we don’t pay them the additional tax we owe them (about $1,000) by August 5,...

(Precision Vaccinations) Ending the COVID-19 pandemic will require long-lived immunity to SARS-CoV-2, wrote researchers who published a new study in the journal Cell on July 14, 2021. ‘To end the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to know how long immunity against SARS-CoV-2 will persist after infection and whether it will be sufficient to prevent new infections and severe disease in years to come, continued this study,’ which is excerpted below. ‘Identifying, in-depth, the adaptive immune components leading to recovery and modeling the trends of each response was enabled by the longitudinal sampling of a large number of COVID-19 patients.'

UK NHS Doctor Samuel White resigns & tells the truth about vaccines and masks.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Wednesday that he did not realize it would be difficult to convince Americans to take the COVID-19 vaccine as the nation deals with soaring cases occurring in the unvaccinated. “Here, we did — developed three highly effective vaccines in under one year. Honestly, it never occurred to me we would have difficulty getting people to take the vaccine,” McConnell told Fox Business Network host Larry Kudlow, a former White House official. “So, clearly, we have got a job to do to try to convince reluctant Americans of all types who seem to...

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said Wednesday during his handoff to fellow anchor Don Lemon that unvaccinated Americans were ignorant and arrogant with a “misplaced sense of righteous indignation.” Anchor Don Lemon said, “I still am flummoxed by the misinformation over the vaccine, people refusing to get vaccinated and also refusing to wear masks. Every day seems like it gets worse. And I don’t mean that. I mean the people who are dying, who are actually coming down with it, especially the children… I mean, just heartbreaking

WASHINGTON – New recommendations from federal health officials this week on when vaccinated Americans should don face masks came with a startling bolt of news: People who have had their shots and become infected with the delta variant of the coronavirus can harbor large amounts of virus just like unvaccinated people. That means they could become spreaders of the disease and should return to wearing masks indoors in certain situations, including when vulnerable people are present. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not publish the new research. In the text of the updated masking guidance, the agency...

It’s all Melville’s fault. Blame it all on him. It’s all right there in Chapter 42 in his seminal novel against all things white, Moby Dick, like an extended forefinger wagging accusingly in your face. In beautiful pillorying black type stamping across snowy white pages entitled, “The Whiteness of the Whale,” Melville ruminates on the mystical, scientific and philosophical implications of the color white. In this pillorying chapter, the novelist goes into great detail on the horrifying aspects of whiteness and their applicability to Ahab’s obsessive quest to kill the infamous white whale, Moby Dick. If I had as magnificent...

GDP rose at a 6.4% annualized pace in the second quarter, according to the Commerce Department’s first estimate Thursday. That was well below the Dow Jones estimate of 8.4%. Initial claims for unemployment insurance also missed expectations, with the 400,000 total above the 380,000 expectation. The U.S. economy rose at a disappointing rate in the second quarter in a sign that the U.S. has escaped the shackles of the Covid-19 pandemic but still has more work to do, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Gross domestic product, a measure of all goods and services produced during the April-to-June period, accelerated 6.4%...
