It’s an oft-quoted saying: “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.” A fact is something done, an action performed or an event or circumstance that actually occurred. Essentially, facts are indisputable truths about people, places and events. The one seminal event that continues to fester like a boil on the American psyche is this past Nov. 3, 2020, presidential election. Why does it continue to fester? It festers because people of all stripes and backgrounds believe there were elements of election fraud, misrepresentations of the truth, dishonesty due to lawfare and, in certain cases, severe...

The White House on Friday argued it did not need to have a briefing from COVID experts amid changing face mask guidelines because President Joe Biden, a 'trusted voice,' was speaking about the matter. 'I would argue that we had the President of the United States speak to this yesterday, he gave more than 30 minute speech about where we are as a country, and he is a trusted voice, he's the leader of our country. We heard from him,' White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said when asked why the country wasn't hearing from medical experts at this...

With the degree of passionate debate surrounding the use of ivermectin for the treatment and prevention of Covid-19, it is hard to believe that a mere seven months ago, the term ‘ivermectin’ was entirely foreign to most people. Even more astounding is the fact that, despite the growing number of studies and credible meta-analyses that concur that ivermectin shows positive results when used as treatment for Covid-19, the recommendations doled out by a handful of experts still override these critical findings. In this article, Professor Colleen Aldous, a Geneticist and Clinical Researcher at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) in South...

It's called Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum, anti-parasitic agent. Some physicians around the world are using it to treat COVID-19 including Omaha doctor Louis Safranek.

Safranek is a Harvard Medical School graduate who has specialized in infectious diseases for 40 years. He says he's treated nearly 200 patients at home and in hospitals using Ivermectin and a number of other treatments. "None have died...

[Catholic Caucus] Missionary Archbishop: Francis Paves Way For AntichristFrancis is “radically damaging the unity and legacy of nearly two thousands years,” retired Karaganda Archbishop Jan Lenga, 71, who was suspended for his courage says in a July 27 Polish video about Traditiones Custodes (below).Francis is trying “to damage everything that still gives any signs of glory and worship to Jesus Christ as God,” Lenga analyses. For him, Bergoglio is like a step-mother who prefers some of her children but not those who love God, who are treated as if they were "terrorists."He points out that Pius V (+1572) didn’t change...

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Dr. Rochelle Walensky Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” that the Delta variant surge can not be attributed to the high rate of coronavirus cases at the U.S.-Mexico border because the infection rate is “really quite high” in “the southern part of this country.” Baier said, “One woman wrote in, My in-laws live in Austria, they cannot come here to see their six-month-old baby because of the EU travel band even as migrants come across the southern border from other countries with more COVID and worse vaccine performance and they are...

New Delhi: French virologist and Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier called mass vaccination against the coronavirus during the pandemic “unthinkable” and a historical blunder that is “creating the variants” and leading to deaths from the disease, LifeSite News reported. “It”s an enormous mistake, isn’t it? A scientific error as well as a medical error. It is an unacceptable mistake,” Montagnier said in an interview translated and published by the RAIR Foundation US. “The history books will show that, because it is the vaccination that is creating the variants,” the report said. Many epidemiologists know it and are “silent” about the...

Law enforcement agents executed search warrants Wednesday morning at the home and business of state Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton.

There are two narratives emerging this week that should concern every American. The first is the Delta Variant narrative that’s giving authoritarians another boogeyman for their ongoing fearmongering campaign. The second is the homogenization of certain protocols regardless of vaccination status. Wear masks, get tested, social distance, prepare for lockdown — and it doesn’t matter if you’ve been “vaccinated” or not.The latest example comes out of Los Angeles where the LAUSD has announced all students and faculty must get tested for Covid-19 weekly in order to attend in-person classes. According to KTLA:The Los Angeles Unified School District will require all...

I was in an online debate on artificial intelligence when Robert Arvanitis brought up something he’d written referencing Lord of the Rings. From the title “The Orcs that ran away”, I thought it was a short fantasy story. In reality, it was a financial paper on the economic impact of the production of the Lord of the Rings movies in New Zealand and how AI was used to solve it.
