Those “vaccines” the NFL (and pretty much everyone else) is pushing so hard took another hit as another coach has been sidelined with a positive Covid-19 test. Earlier this week, we reported on Indianapolis Colts’ head coach Frank Reich getting the bad news. Now, Los Angeles Rams offensive line coach Kevin Carberry has tested positive. Here’s the report from NBC News. Notice their very first sentence is their obligatory “nothing to see here, the vaccines totally work, y’all” lead-in: Plenty of vaccinated players and staff will still test positive for COVID in 2021, even if vaccinated. In L.A., Rams offensive...

We hoped to never utter the name Greta Thunberg again but unfortunately the young ‘activist’ who belongs in Hollywood for her award winning fear mongering, has drawn attention to herself once again after receiving her Covid-19 vaccine. The 18-year-old posted a photo of herself getting the shot and then captioned it with complaints about vaccine “equity” across the world.

The US could soon begin targeting Iran’s missile and drone programs with a new sanctions campaign in light of the assessment that they pose a more immediate threat than the nuclear- or ballistic-missile programs, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday based on conversations with Western officials. “It’s part of a comprehensive approach so we’re dealing with all aspects of the Iranian threat,” a senior US official told the Journal. According to the report, the apparent shift comes in the wake of a sharp rise in the employment of guided missiles and drones against US assets. “Iran’s drones are becoming...

Mayor Bill de Blasio will issue local guidance next week on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new advice that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people should wear masks indoors to protect against the virulent Delta variant of the coronavirus. “On Monday, we’ll give a shape of things to people to help guide them while emphasizing the thing that’s absolutely irreplaceable is vaccination,” de Blasio said at his daily press briefing Thursday. On Tuesday, the CDC recommended indoor-mask mandates even for fully vaccinated people in areas experiencing spikes in COVID-19 cases. The recommendation is a reversal of the agency’s determination...

Researchers are observing a new long-term health concern in patients hospitalized with COVID-19—an increase in new-onset hyperglycemia lasting months after infection. An Italian study found that about half of the patients admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 during the start of the pandemic had new cases of hyperglycemia, or high levels of blood sugar. They also had poorer outcomes. "These people were not diabetic before," says lead author Paolo Fiorina, MD, Ph.D. "But during admission, about 46 percent of the patients were found to have new hyperglycemia." While most cases resolved, about 35 percent of the newly hyperglycemic patients remained...

As Sunisa Lee celebrates her gold medal win in the women's gymnastics all-around final today, the Team USA star has become an instant household name — but who is the 18-year-old gymnast who took the top spot in her first-ever Olympics Games? Sunisa, who hails from Minnesota, is the daughter of Laotian refugees who fled the country in the wake of the Vietnam War — and she's also the first Hmong-American to represent the United States at the Olympics. Her road to the Games wasn't an easy one, with the star persevering through personal tragedy after her father was paralyzed...

With attention focused on coronavirus, undiagnosed and untreated TB cases will cause 1.4 million to die, research suggests The head of a global partnership to end tuberculosis (TB) said she is “sickened” by research that revealed millions more people are expected to contract the disease as a result of Covid-19 restrictions. Up to 6.3 million more people are predicted to develop TB between now and 2025 and 1.4 million more people are expected to die as cases go undiagnosed and untreated during lockdown. This will set back global efforts to end TB by five to eight years. “The fact that...

Treating obese mice with the cytokine known as TSLP led to significant abdominal fat and weight loss compared to controls, according to new research published Thursday in Science from researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Unexpectedly, the fat loss was not associated with decreased food intake or faster metabolism. Instead, the researchers discovered that TSLP stimulated the immune system to release lipids through the skin's oil-producing sebaceous glands. "This was a completely unforeseen finding, but we've demonstrated that fat loss can be achieved by secreting calories from the skin in the form of energy-rich...

Now might be the time to wipe the dust off that pair of binoculars and extract the family telescope from the back of the closet: Saturn is about to put on its best and brightest show, looking spiffier than at any time during the year – a performance that will be followed a few weeks later by Jupiter. The ringed planet will be at opposition on Sunday for people in North America. What exactly does that mean? Imagine Earth and Saturn are hands on a clock face, says Phil Plait, an astronomer and longtime science educator. "So very roughly once...

Marco Rubio slammed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin for arriving in the Philippines wearing both a mask and a face shield despite being fully vaccinated, calling it “embarrassing COVID theatre.” "Our @SecDef is vaccinated But he arrives in the Philippines wearing a mask AND a face shield Embarrassing COVID theatre" With a face shield on top of a mask, how do they even know it’s him??? Seriously, you’d think we were back in March of 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic the way he looks. Rubio, of course, is right. If the vaccine is effective then what’s the point...

MEMORIAL OF SAINTS MARTHA, MARY, AND LAZARUS JOHN 11:19-27 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever is believing in me, even if he dies, will live, and anyone who lives and is believing in me will never die.” Jesus came primarily as a warrior whose final enemy is death. It is easy to domesticate Jesus, presenting him as a kindly moral teacher. But that is not how the Gospels present him. He is a cosmic warrior who has come to do battle with those forces that keep us from being fully alive. Throughout...

Normally August and early September are when sport shooters and hunters head to the range to prepare for the upcoming season, but this year that could be a problem. Firearms sales have remained strong this summer, dipping only slightly from last year’s record-breaking sales, but the problem is that ammunition has continued to remain in short supply. “Everything is difficult right now,” Dave Larsen, manager of Doug’s Shoot’n Sports of Taylorsville, Utah, told local news channel KUTV.

The owner of a Ben & Jerry’s shop on the Upper West Side was so chilled by the parent company’s freeze on ice cream sales in the West Bank that he’s vowing to donate a portion of his proceeds to help Israel. Joel Gasman, who runs the store on West 104th Street and Broadway, said he can’t stomach the boycott imposed last week in Israeli-occupied areas — claiming it’s caused his business in the Big Apple to tank. "We couldn’t sit back and watch without speaking up," Gasman told The Post on Thursday.

Under the weak leadership of Mitch McConnell, Senate Republicans continue to lose. He lost Arizona, he lost Georgia, he ignored Election Fraud and he doesn’t fight. Now he’s giving Democrats everything they want and getting nothing in return. No deal is better than a bad deal. Fight for America, not for special interests and Radical Democrats. RINOs are ruining America, right alongside Communist Democrats. -Donald J Trumphttps://gab.com/realdonaldtrump/posts/106664063829523983

Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice issued two “guidance documents” purportedly “to ensure states fully comply with federal laws regarding election.” Those documents, however, really represent the Biden administration’s latest attempt to squelch investigations into potential voting irregularities, silence critics of the 2020 election, and cement forever the free-for-all COVID voting “procedures” implemented last voting cycle.Wednesday’s guidance came in the form of two documents entitled, respectively, ”Federal Law Constraints on Post-Election ‘Audits’” and “Guidance Concerning Federal Statutes Affecting Methods of Voting.” In the DOJ’s guidance on post-election audits, the Biden administration began with its familiar refrain that “the November 3rd...
