In a little over six months, the Biden administration has allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to flow across America’s southern border. Many conservatives have suggested that this is nothing more than a cynical attempt to change America’s electorate by creating more Democrat voters.A writer for the New York Times just seemed to confirm that this was the endgame all along.The NY Times piece is behind a paywall, but Phil Shiver of The Blaze has posted some excerpts:Liberal journalist: There is ‘no good reason’ only citizens can voteA guest columnist for the New York Times argued this week that...

Juan Miranda-Jara, who admitted to being the newborn’s biological father; the man also told them he and the pre-teen entered into a relationship last October... Thursday, police announced that they had also taken the victim’s mother, Desiree Castaneda, into custody. Castaneda and other relatives are accused of knowing about and permitting the unlawful relationship between the man and child.... “There are photos of the family throwing a baby shower for the victim and the suspect,” The 12-year-old girl’s father is in prison serving a 12-year sentence for a rape conviction, police said, adding that the case was unrelated.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky on Friday suggested that the Biden administration may be looking into a federal vaccine mandate.In an interview on Fox News Friday, Walensky was asked if she supported such a vaccine mandate, to which she said it's something she “thinks” the administration is “looking into.” “You know, that's something that I think the administration was looking into. It's something that I think we're looking to see approval of from the vaccine,” Walensky said. “Overall, I think in general I am all for more vaccination. But, you know—I have nothing further to...

any drones out there?

A new antibody-based treatment could not only help treat COVID-19 symptoms in those already affected but potentially prevent new infections from occurring. The treatment comes in the form of an inhaler. A researcher at the University of Texas at Austin first developed the technology, and now an Austin-based pharmaceutical company is trying to get it on the market. When it comes to treating infectious disease, the vaccine is the “gold standard.” However, prior to the vaccine coming on the market, scientists developed treatments for the virus, helping protect high-risk communities from COVID-19. Current treatments require patients to get an infusion...

Medical freedom is not explicitly mentioned in the Bill of Rights for a very simple reason. The founding fathers never envisioned a world in which medical procedures would be forced on a free people. This oversight has been corrected for the most part by laws at the state and national level protecting an American citizen’s right to choose how they will handle their own healthcare. Patients’ rights have been attacked more and more in recent years, but never has there been a more draconian onslaught than what we’re seeing with the so-called “Covid vaccines.” Government, private businesses, and organizations are...

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.( Mark 10:17-19)We have been discussing the fact that a primary function of the true church must be Evangelism. We are called to “go...

Explanation: Peering from the shadows, the Saturn-facing hemisphere of Mimas lies in near darkness alongside a dramatic sunlit crescent. The mosaic was captured near the Cassini spacecraft's final close approach on January 30, 2017. Cassini's camera was pointed in a nearly sunward direction only 45,000 kilometers from Mimas. The result is one of the highest resolution views of the icy, crater-pocked, 400 kilometer diameter moon. An enhanced version better reveals the Saturn-facing hemisphere of the synchronously rotating moon lit by sunlight reflected from Saturn itself. To see it, slide your cursor over the image (or follow this link). Other Cassini...

@ChadPergram1) Fox has obtained a draft copy of a letter crafted by a coalition of House Democrats, which calls on Capitol Attending Physician Dr. Brian Monahan to consider a vaccine requirement for lawmakers and Congressional staff. 2) The members will also ask for “at minimum, twice per week testing for those who are unable to vertify positive vaccination status.” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) is the lead on the letter. 3) The draft says that “to forego the common-sense decision to require vaccination or frequent testing in the halls of Congress due to partisan pressure would call into question the objectivity...

This is Vlad's LOVE CHILD -- the best parts from two separate videos have come together to create a monster. Vlad has stitched the parts together, and you can still see some flaws in this aligned match. Is the Count a much-maligned matchmaker? No. Nevertheless, this is a MONSTER MASH.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog received a booster shot of the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday following an announcement by the country’s prime minister that Israel would start offering third shots to older Israeli residents, Reuters reported. The 60-year-old president and his wife, Michal, both received their shots at Sheba Medical Center, located close to Tel Aviv, according to the wire service. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was present at the facility while they received their third shots. Herzog said on Friday that Israel’s rollout of the COVID-19 booster shots “is so vital to enable normal circumstances of life as much as possible...

The conventional claim would be that the January 6 attack on the Capitol was an attack on democracy itself, a trespass upon the sacred precincts of self-government. But how can liberals who have everywhere else demolished traditional forms of sanctity and reverence believe that Congress, of all things, will be spared from contempt? Liberals have taught Americans to disbelieve in God and to view everyone from the nation’s Founding Fathers to the greatest explorers and military commanders as mostly bad men — bad in part simply because they are men: white men, straight men, Christian men, biological men. Yet traditional...

Even before the CDC reversed their guidance this week, mask-wearing recommendations were rife with contradictions. The World Health Organization told vaccinated people to don masks. The Centers for Disease Control told vaccinated Americans they didn’t have to. New Hampshire towns, just miles apart from one another, imposed widely different face-covering requirements – in a short drive you could travel from a grocery store where masked people carefully tiptoed around each other to maintain 6 feet of distance to a bustling shopping mall where crowds weaved together maskless. Now, to add to the confusion, the CDC has walked back its previous...

An estimated 1.6 billion disposable masks wound up in the ocean in 2020, creating a vast pile of floating plastic waste and threatening marine life across the planet. ... The throwaway masks sent 5500 metric tonnes of plastic into the oceans, which will take up to 450 years to biodegrade ... In China, an estimated 450 million disposable masks were manufactured every day during the height of the pandemic in April 2020. The looming environmental catastrophe prompted one French ecologist to warn last year: “Soon there will be more masks than jellyfish.”

John Money settled into his academic catbird seat in 1952.To the extent he was capable of feeling any emotions at all, he must have felt supremely satisfied with himself. Brand new PhD from Harvard. Brand new professorship at Johns Hopkins. Not only a brand new professorship, but the first professorship in history of a fancy new sub-discipline called "pediatric psychoendocrinology" (a glorious designation I surmise Money invented for himself, even though he was simply a psychologist, with no actual training or experience as a medical doctor, pediatrician, psychiatrist, or endocrinologist). And to top it all off, he also now had...

CNN is warning Americans that it is “about to get much harder not to be vaccinated” — a caution which follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) expressing the need to ramp up its messaging as the American people question its motives and science behind its latest edicts. This week, President Biden blamed unvaccinated Americans for the CDC’s updated guidance, requiring vaccinated people to wear masks in indoor areas “of substantial or high transmission.” “We have a pandemic, because of the unvaccinated and they’re sowing enormous confusion,” Biden said. “If those other 100 million got vaccinated, we’d be...

A review of Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America by Charles Murray. Encounter Books, 168 pages. (June, 2021) I’ve known about Charles Murray since 1994, when I was a voracious and unsupervised teen reader in rural Oregon grabbing the library’s latest issue of the New Republic the instant it was shelved. It was here that I stumbled upon the shocking views Murray and Richard J. Herrnstein expressed in The Bell Curve about race, class, and inequality in America. I didn’t give those views much deep thought at the time, and so my perception of Murray and his ideas...

It has been a difficult summer for Canada’s Christians. Over five days in late June, four Catholic churches and an Anglican church were burned to the ground, the first churches to be set ablaze or vandalized to begin a summer of such desecration. Suspicious fires then broke out across the country. In all, at least 56 churches have been set aflame or vandalized, according to the True North Centre, which is mapping attacks on churches. This is unquestionably a crisis, but you wouldn’t think it from observing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s response. Although the first suspected arson happened June 21,...

I am a criminal. Nice to meet you. I am 21 years old, right at the peak of my criminal power. I live in a big city. I have been to juvenile placement, county jail, and state prison. Let me tell you what I think about today’s criminal-justice system. Before we go any further, please disabuse yourself of the notion that I am dumb. I watch, listen, and learn from what happens around me. In some ways, I’m probably smarter than you. I bought three kilograms of cocaine for $93,000 last week. Quick: tell me how many quarter pounds, ounces,...

Auburn University is offering students a chance at winning a variety of prizes – including a $1,000 scholarship, an unlimited meal plan, and a premium parking pass – if they get fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in time for the fast-approaching fall semester. The new incentive program comes as Alabama struggles to get people inoculated against COVID-19, with just 40.1% of the state’s population aged 12 and older fully vaccinated, the lowest rate in the nation, according to CDC data. Auburn is also offering student organizations the chance to win prizes if all of their members are vaccinated, such as custom...
