There has been a growing belief in progressive circles of the 1619 Project ilk, that all Jews are of European decent and all Europeans who came to the Americas owned African slaves. It's not based on history. There is no basis for this belief other than desire to believe it is true. Racial justification is based on an old hatred that alters form while remaining hatred. Jews, as historical records prove, are not of European origin and most haven no lineage in Europe, but that does not stop them from being classified as white by those who are inclined to...

One of many virtues of Mark Levin’s superb new book, American Marxists, is his use of the observations of Eric Hoffer’s landmark book, The True Believer. I don't need to be convinced of the obvious, that the Marxists are staging a counter-revolution in our Republic. I say "counter-revolution" because the Marxist goal is to overthrow the successful revolution staged by our founders almost two and a half centuries ago. And the enemy is not just "at the gate"; they are, in fact, on the cusp of winning the ultimate prize: total domination of the United States of America. Most AT...

At least 16 people were shot, one fatally, in gun violence across Chicago Thursday. The fatal attack occurred on the South Side. About 12:50 p.m., a 22-year-old man was in the 6500 block of South Peoria Street when a gray Audi drove by and someone inside opened fire, Chicago police said. Kevin Stephens was struck twice in the head and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. The Audi fled south on Peoria after the shooting, police said. A 14-year-old boy was critically wounded in...

One of the most obvious misconceptions about liberals today is that they personify tolerance. The Oxford English Dictionary defines tolerance as "the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. A recent poll by the Survey Center on American Life at the American Enterprise Institute found that Democrats are twice as likely as Republicans to report ending a friendship over a political disagreement (20% versus 10%). Liberals are also "far more likely than conservatives are to say they are no longer friends with someone due to political...

The vision for the future of America seems so very different today between the red states and blue states. With proper credit given to Mr. Charles Dickens, for many Americans living today in America, "these are the worst of times." A time period that many of us have never lived in. A time period that many of us had never thought would happen in America. A time period where we shudder to think what our children and children's children might live under. Certainly, the worst of times that we have known. What is becoming increasingly clear is that America is...

Paris (AFP) - Relaxing restrictions like mask-wearing and social distancing when most people have been vaccinated greatly increases the risk of vaccine-resistant variants of the virus that causes Covid-19, new research showed on Friday.At a time when nearly 60 percent of Europeans have received at least one vaccine dose, the authors said their modelling study showed the need to maintain non-vaccination measures until everyone is fully jabbed.To predict how the SARS-CoV-2 virus might mutate in response to vaccination campaigns, a pan-European team of experts simulated the probability of a vaccine-resistant strain emerging in a population of 10 million people over...

Premier Gladys Berejiklian has warned anyone planning to attend an anti-lockdown protest in Sydney tomorrow could be giving their loved ones a "death sentence" after NSW recorded 170 new COVID-19 cases... Ms. Berejiklian issued a stern warning to anyone thinking of attending another anti-lockdown protest following last week's illegal demonstration which thousands attended. "You actions will hurt, forget about the rest of us, but you could be taking the disease home and passing it on to your parents, your siblings, your brothers and sisters or anybody you might have limited contact with," she said. "Do not give those you love...

Meet Wolfgang the Beagle. He was morbidly obese at 90 lbs before his new humans helped him dramatically lose weight to make him happier and healthy again. Video, 4 minutes & 44 seconds

Freshman Minnesota State Senator Julia Coleman (R-Chanhassen) is already making waves in Saint Paul. Fresh off the heels of her first legislative session, the former Miss Minneapolis 2014 titleholder immediately sponsored bills and served on the Education Finance and Policy, Taxes, and Transportation Finance and Policy committees. She was also named Vice Chair of the Local Government Policy Subcommittee on Metropolitan Governance. Coleman said her proudest achievement thus far was delivering on behalf of her constituents.I exclusively spoke to Senator Coleman about her call to public service, why she chose life for her identical twin boys despite doctors’ wishes, and...

Some people in Missouri are dressing up in disguise for their COVID-19 vaccines to protect themselves from potential blowback from family and friends, a doctor said. Several people getting vaccinated at Ozarks Healthcare have taken the drastic step and pleaded with doctors to keep quiet over their inoculation status, according to Dr. Priscilla Frase, chief medical information officer at the health care system. In a video released by Ozarks Healthcare, Frase said the people are concerned about how their loved ones will “react if they find out that they got the vaccine.”

Twitter: @RossOnRadio "Interesting news that iHeart stations are back on @TuneIn. Emphasizes the need for one-stop shopping." Pleased to find out iHeartRadio stations are back on TuneIn. At least I can get Boston's WRKO on it (Sandy Shack in for Kuhner). Thus, I dumped my iHeart app, saving space on my phone.Now no longer will I get pre roll ads and invitations to join paid iHeart each time. TuneIn Pro used to allow recording but that stopped, maybe due to copyright issues. I got that app some years ago when it was $5 one time; maybe $10 now. Pro has...

President Biden grew heated Thursday while defending his administration's flip-flop on whether vaccinated Americans need to wear masks. Fox News' Peter Doocy pressed Biden about his administration's reversal, pointing to the president's statement in May that, "If you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask." "In May you made it seem like the vaccine was the ticket to losing the mask forever," Doocy pointed out. "That was true at the time," Biden shouted. "Because I thought there were people that were going to understand that getting vaccinated made a dramatic difference and what happened was the...

Over the last 16 months we have been bombarded everyday with info either way(karen's and anti-karen's). I'm getting tired of it, and say meh. I'm living my life, and I'm vaxxed(pfizer). I don't wear a mask, I just have to live life. I guess you could call me a moderate anti-Karen.

“Explanation how ADE works and the future perils it may bring. For a vaccine to work, our immune system needs to be stimulated to produce a neutralizing antibody, as opposed to a non-neutralizing antibody. A neutralizing antibody is one that can recognize and bind to some region (‘epitope’) of the virus, and that subsequently results in the virus either not entering or replicating in your cells. A non-neutralizing antibody is one that can bind to the virus, but for some reason, the antibody fails to neutralize the infectivity of the virus. This can occur, for example, if the antibody doesn’t...

The $715-billion infrastructure bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this month includes a $2,400,000 earmark for that is called the “Riverside Drive Pedestrian Mall” in New York, New York. The money was request by Rep. Jerrold Nadler in whose Manhattan-based district the money would be spent. Section 107 of the bill is entitled “Member Designated Project Authorizations.” It says: “The amount listed for each member designated project in the table…shall be available…for fiscal year 2022 to carry out each project.” The 1052nd project listed in this section of the bill is called the “Riverside Drive Pedestrian Mall.”...

The National Police Association on Wednesday slammed Congress’ investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as a politically motivated "dog and pony show" that has no intention of uncovering the truth of what really happened that day. In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, association spokeswoman Betsy Brantner Smith, a retired police sergeant who describes herself as a conservative, said Congress should hear from the thousands of police officers who were injured during the George Floyd riots last year. "People need to see that police officers go through horrible things, and Jan. 6 was a horrible thing for some...

NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell insisted on Thursday that NBC’s costly investment in the Tokyo Olympics will be profitable despite a massive drop in viewership that reportedly has caused "anxiety" for the network’s advertisers. Through five days of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, NBC’s average primetime audience of 15.2 million viewers is down 47% from Rio in 2016 and 57% from London in 2012. The opening ceremony, delayed a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, drew 16.7 million viewers for NBC on Friday, the smallest audience for the network broadcast since the 1988 Seoul Games. "We had a little bit of bad...

Nurse is willing to lose her job to avoid getting vaccine. Hear why - YouTubeThere was a CNN panel interview on July 4 with an anchor saying that Biden is missing his goal of vaccinating 70% and that she's going to ask the 'vaccine hesitant' why they aren't getting the vax. While she is supposedly being unbiased, I think those who have the 'right attitudes' get more than this kind of facial expression from her.I think it looks like she's compressing her lips in disgust and she's holding a meeting with bad employees to find out why they are failing...

San Francisco's district attorney spoke out in apparent defense of a 'prolific' shoplifter who was filmed brazenly robbing a Walgreens store amid fierce criticism of the city's crime policies. Chesa Boudin, district attorney since 2019, was asked about a viral video from June 19 showing the thief man heaping armfuls of Walgreens products into a trash bag, then riding his bike through the store with the stolen goods while the security guard and bystanders looked on. The broad daylight theft happened at a Walgreens on 300 Gough Street, in the Hayes Valley area of San Francisco, on June 14.
