What will be the final straw that brings on the chaos? And when? The signs are pretty strong. Internet attack as Biden predicted? Cryptocurrency crash? Immigration invasion? Government shutdown as debt ceiling is hit again? Iran/Russia attacking Israel? Another severe Covid pandemic? The Audit results being delivered for Arizona/Georgia/Pennsylvania? The inflation caused by the $3.5 Trillion Social Infrastructure bill. (or bankruptcy) A stock market crash? An assassination attempt against Trump? Food shortages from world crop failures? China attacking Taiwan? China shutting off shipments of manufactured goods to USA? Electric grid or internet crash? It appears that the Ides of August...

The father of an 18-year-old woman who was killed in a movie theater shooting in California confronted the accused shooter during a court appearance. "Look at me. Look at me!" yelled Dave Goodrich at 20-year-old Joseph Jimenez at the Riverside Hall of Justice on Friday. "That was my daughter," he continued, as he began tearing up. Several people had to hold the grieving father back at one point during the confrontation, Fox 11 reported. Jimenez was arrested on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and robbery on Tuesday after the fatal shooting during a screening of "The Forever Purge" at The...

Scientists are beginning to unlock the mysteries of glacier ice worms which are the largest organism on Earth that spend their whole life cycle in ice. "It's happening," scientist Scott Hotaling told a reporter for OPB as he gestured across Paradise Glacier high up on Mount Rainier in Washington. He was referencing hundreds of thousands of tiny, black worms emerging from a vast expanse of white snow. Ice worms were first discovered in 1887 on Alaska's Muir Glacier. They have since been spotted on most of the coastal glaciers in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. It was an exciting...

The delta variant of the coronavirus is here. It’s scary. It seems to spread more easily than any of the variants we’ve seen so far. It’s quickly becoming the dominant strain of the virus, outcompeting other strains. But it may not be the last. Watching the news about delta, I keep wondering: What’s next? How might SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, continue to evolve? After all, the work of evolution is never over. Change is constant. A year from now, might there be an omega variant that’s twice as transmissible as delta? “The big answer to your question is...

We’d have more confidence in our public health experts and agencies if they would admit what they don’t know rather than pretending to know what they don’t. Today’s podcast looks at this week's confusing landscape mask recommendations, Covid-19 vaccines, and adverse events. Are the vaccines wearing off? Are masks for kids good or bad? And what are the most common adverse events reported so far after Covid-19 vaccines? I have an original analysis.

New York City is shrinking. Or rather: It was shrinking. Quite a while ago. Then it started to grow. Then it grew dramatically. But after eight years of Bill de Blasio as mayor, it is contracting once again, as the economic and population surge that took the city from the slough of despond to new heights over the course of four decades has been reversed. This is not the result of COVID. It is the result of a disastrous mayoralty and the ideas, prejudices, and idiocies that have animated it. De Blasio’s legacy as he prepares to leave office is...

The Syndicate was brutal, but it wasn’t random and ubiquitous like violence in the 21st century. When I was a kid and told people not from Chicago, the city of my birth and upbringing, where I was from, it wasn’t uncommon for them to raise their arms as if holding a machine gun, murmur ratatatatatat, then utter “ Al Capone. ” Capone died in 1947, Under the Syndicate such crime tended to be perpetrated on those who couldn’t pay their gambling or loan debts or attempted to step into territory thought to be exclusively the Syndicate’s. They might bully someone...

VERSAILLES, Ky.—Five brick apartment buildings in this horse-country town make up Paul Settle’s retirement nest egg. He purchased the complex 27 years ago and has spent almost every day since tidying the grounds, repairing garbage disposals and collecting rent checks. Mr. Settle, 64 years old, pays himself about $75,000 a year. The idea was always to one day sell and retire off the proceeds. But now his plans are on hold. The Biden administration’s tax proposal would increase the capital-gains taxes Mr. Settle would pay on the sale of the apartments, which he expects to fetch over $2 million. Mr....

Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined Jay Thomas on “The Jay Thomas Show” on Tuesday and took questions from local callers. During their conversation Senator Cramer was asked by a caller about Ashli Babbitt and her killer Lt. Mike Byrd. Senator Cramer refused to identify the killer but said he was grateful for the officer’s action. Senator Cramer then lied and said Ashli Babbitt was warned by police before she was shot in an ambush. This is a bald-faced lie. The officer hid in the shadows, did not utter a word, and then shot Ashli Babbitt in the neck as she...

Dear friends, as we look at our EXPONENTIALLY growing godless, lawless, and hopeless day; it isn't too hard for any to see that we are indeed at the threshold of the Rapture of the Body of Messiah and the HORRIFIC and EXPONENTIAL seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24, Rev. 6-19)! Beloved, before we start; be sure to check out the Bible links we have provided for you as you follow along in this study; for that indeed is our authority! But rather, in the midst of it he WILL CAUSE the SACRIFICE and OBLATION to CEASE in light of...

Activist Shaun King lives lavishly in lakefront New Jersey home Shaun King has built his image on being a champion of the poor and disenfranchised, but the controversial civil rights activist lives like a one-percenter in a sprawling lakefront home, records show. King, 41, moved earlier this year from a luxury two-bedroom apartment in downtown Brooklyn, to the five-bedroom, 3,000 square foot North Brunswick, NJ, property, with “a lakefront backyard” and gourmet kitchen, according to public records. The property, surrounded by lush, tall trees, was purchased by King’s wife, Rai-Tonicia King, a Ph.D. candidate and educator, in November 2020 for...

An Abomination, as Holy Scripture defines it, is a foul stench that is produced by the lawlessness actions against ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS from idolatry or a false god, making for a false and delusional reality with leads to ETERNAL desolation (Prov. 6:16-19; Rom. 1:18-32). These godless practices are exchanged in the place of RIGHTEOUS reality and all that is Almighty God and His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS laws (Exodus 20:1-5, Deut 27:15, 2 Kings 23:13, Proverbs 6: 16-19). This rebellious delusion is an absolute abomination; a wretched stench, the vilest odor in the nose. Think of some very vile odors with which you...

[Catholic Caucus] Famous German author: ‘Every priest has the moral right to celebrate the never forbidden old rite’'The old Mass, rooted deep in the first Christian millennium, is as a matter of principle beyond the pope’s authority to prohibit. Many provisions of Pope Benedict’s motu proprio can be set aside or modified, but this magisterial decision cannot be so easily done away with.'Fri Jul 30, 2021 - 1:28 pm EDTSat Jul 31, 2021 - 1:54 am EDT July 30, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Martin Mosebach, an award-winning author and defender of the Traditional Latin Mass, has just published an essay criticizing...

You can almost feel the Biden Administration and blue state governors jonesing for another lockdown and mass masking madness. It’s in the air. Like a virus in fact. But sequels are almost always disappointing. Too bad we can’t come up with a vaccine for leftism. Especially since the infection fatality rate is so high.

Catholic leaders in the busiest part of Texas for U.S.-Mexico border crossings fear a new executive order from Governor Greg Abbott, which bars non-government vehicles from transporting migrants in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, could have precisely the opposite effect. “It’s definitely going to have very serious consequences and keep us from helping the community stay safe, because we’re not able to help these families [that test positive for COVID-19] isolate and quarantine,” Sister Norma Pimentel, the executive director of Catholic Charities... “I foresee things getting very bad because of this,” Pimentel said. The Humanitarian Respite Center,...

The MKO’s tendency to cry wolf hinder and obstruct the real fights against the Iranian regime, Iranian terrorism, and the Islamic Republic’s covert nuclear program. The Mujahedin al-Khalq (MKO) formed against the backdrop of the anti-shah opposition in the 1960s and evolved to become an important component of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s revolutionary coalition. But Khomeini turned on the MKO as he consolidated his dictatorship. Unlike others forced out of power, persecuted domestically, or sent into exile, the MKO fought back: They both sponsored a terror campaign targeting regime officials—killing many innocent bystanders in the process—and they accepted Iraqi dictator Saddam...

Royal Caribbean Cruises shares fell about 4% on Friday after six passengers on board its Adventure of the Seas ship tested positive for Covid-19. The four of those guests were fully vaccinated and not traveling together.

After posting a comment in another thread about the 'CDC Study' on Delta behind their nonsensical 'guidelines' from yesterday, another FReeper replied to me, “Vaccinated Gay male outbreak in a single town in single state. That’s the real story. Gay party superspreader events.”I asked for a source out of due diligence, as such subject matter was lacking in reports I’d read. This morning I recalled the exchange, observed the absence of reply and performed a few web searches: Content revealed exactly as I’d seen yesterday: The only mention of any detail regarding the source of the CDC ‘study’ referenced Provincetown,...
