“We met the most amazing princess but they ran away,” Baby Piggy said, displaying a glass slipper as the only remnant.It’s a play on Cinderella, of course, but with a transgender twist. The “princess” was Gonzo, a character that has always been a “he,” not a “they.” But modern the current writers for Muppet Babies don’t see it like that. Watch:I can’t believe I’m tweeting this but.. they are pushing the trans agenda on children via muppet babies. This is sick and PERVERTED. Everyone should be disturbed by predatory cartoons meant to usher children into gender dysphoria. Bring back manly...

The National Institutes of Health database tracking U.S. taxpayer-backed research grants – including the controversial award from Mr. Anthony Fauci’s agency to the Wuhan Institute of Virology – can no longer be accessed.When searched, the database, which itemizes the billions of taxpayer-funded grants distributed by various National Institutes of Health (NIH) agencies, yields no results and prompts users with an error message. Among the agencies included in the registry is the2 Fauci-led National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which has come under scrutiny for funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.The website also previously revealed NIAID-directed...

In recent weeks, calls for vaccine mandates have increasingly been heard: In a column headlined “Stop pleading with anti-vaxxers and start mandating vaccinations,” The Washington Post’s Max Boot implored President Biden to “stop making reasonable appeals to those who will not listen to reason.” Former Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius lamented that “we’re going to tiptoe around mandates,” and she’s “kind of over that.” A coalition of medical professional organizations, including the American Medical Association, has asked for “all health care and long-term care employers to require their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.” Meanwhile, there’s a top-down...

Tomorrow, Maricopa County and Dominion will be required to either appear before the Arizona Senate or deliver the requested materials in the latest Senate subpoena. Maricopa County has been fighting tooth and nail to hide this information from the auditors and tweeting jabs instead of addressing the questions their voters have. President Trump previously released a statement asking why they are “fighting for life or death.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a harrowing testimony before the January 6th Committee, Capitol Police Officer Lenny Burbo revealed his paralyzing fear as MAGA terrorist insurrectionist racists stormed the Capitol. "I stood there, paralyzed by fear as I held the door open so people could enter," said Burbo. "As boomer after boomer entered the facility in an orderly line and began to take selfies, I saw my life flash before my eyes. I literally thought I was going to die." When asked why he had politely held the door open for everyone to enter the building unimpeded, he replied that he feared for...

We are at a fraught turning point. In less than two decades we have morphed from a society that largely opposed same-sex marriage to a society that denies opposite sexes even exist. This is madness. The powers-that-be, from craven politicians to empty talking heads to anonymous internet trolls, have somehow framed the gender debate to present us with a false choice: Conform to gender activists’ demands, no matter how extreme, or you’re a “hater.” Some demands, however, are so anti-scientific, illogical and unreasonable that people of goodwill and common sense must act. Modern society is already in tatters. It won’t...

Another Trump Won sign has been unfurled. This time it was at a Rangers game. The man unfurling the flag was Own Shroyer from Infowars.com. He was kicked out. The left can’t stop the truth about the 2020 election steal from coming out. “Trump Won” signs have popped up all over the country. We reported on them in this article.

Just like Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, and others, the Nazis claimed to be socialists, concentrated power in the State, and spurned the rights of individuals. Today marks an infamous centennial. One hundred years ago—on July 29, 1921—Adolf Hitler assumed the leadership of the National Socialist German Workers Party, better known as the Nazis. It became his vehicle to power. Note the formal, official name of the party. It was not the National Capitalist German Workers Party. It was not the National Free Market German Workers Party. Nor was it the National Christian German Workers Party. Yet a century later, claims...

When covid-19 struck Europe in March 2020, hospitals were plunged into a health crisis that was still badly understood. “Doctors really didn’t have a clue how to manage these patients,” says Laure Wynants, an epidemiologist at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, who studies predictive tools. But there was data coming out of China, which had a four-month head start in the race to beat the pandemic. If machine-learning algorithms could be trained on that data to help doctors understand what they were seeing and make decisions, it just might save lives. “I thought, ‘If there’s any time that AI could...

Nantucket Memorial Airport has run out of jet fuel at the peak of summer, impacting commercial and private flights at one of New England’s busiest transportation hubs. On Saturday the airport suspended jet fuel sales and informed commercial carriers that they needed to fly into the island fully loaded with fuel due to the shortage.Airport officials said Saturday night that they were not only facing overwhelming demand for jet fuel, but also a logistical nightmare in getting fuel tanker trucks to the island due to record competition for reservations this summer on the Steamship Authority ferries. They also cited a...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may grant full approval for Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccination as early as September or October, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing FDA advisers and former officials familiar with the process.The rush for full approval - as opposed to the current emergency use authorization - comes as many schools, hospitals and employers have used full approval as a benchmark for moving forward with mandatory vaccinations."We’d like to see it approved as fast as humanly possible, so we can really go back to just the more normal experience," said Jim Malatras, chancellor of the State University...

The New Zealander will take the stage on August 2 for the women's super heavyweight +87kg weightlifting event. At 43 years old, Hubbard is also set to be the oldest weightlifter competing in the sport at the Tokyo games. Who is Laurel Hubbard?

Hubbard revealed she took up "an...

I Don’t Know About You, but I’m Getting NervousNot the enemy in front but the friends behind are the men who spread despondency and alarm” Sir Ian Hamilton, Gallipoli Diary (1920)The word neurosis denotes what a less pretentious age called a nervous disorder, or a case of bad nerves. That was in the day when psychiatrists were called nerve doctors. Neurosis is compounded of the Greek word neuron, which means a nerve cell, and the suffix osis, which means a disorder, disease or complaint. This is why a man whose breath is cause for complaint is said to have halitosis....

The United States military has confirmed that it carried out another airstrike against al-Shabab militants, its third in less than two weeks. Sunday’s strike was in support of Somali government forces in the vicinity of Qeycad, in the central Galmudug state, according to the U.S. military. The Somali government earlier reported the strike was in an area where federal and U.S.-trained forces were fighting the militants. There was no word on whether militants were injured or killed. “This is another major blow to al-Shabab’s means to wage war against the Somali people,” a statement by the Information Ministry of Somalia...

A group of 10 Republican senators is backing legislation that would require an audit of the decision-making and public health messaging by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).The Senate proposal (pdf), the Restore Public Health Institution Trust Act of 2021, would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to assess the CDC’s public health messaging and decision-making and prepare a report on its findings.The report would include a review of the data that the CDC used to make its recommendations and whether the agency’s “inconsistent messaging” had an impact on the public’s trust and willingness to take the COVID-19...

After a tumultuous period for U.S.-listed Chinese companies, many U.S. investors are finally concluding that Chinese companies aren’t worthy of a place in their portfolios.On July 30, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a broad halt on new Chinese IPOs listing in the United States until risks posed to investors can be better understood and disclosed. And that’s easier said than done.It’s a truly shocking development. Several months ago, it was difficult to imagine what could derail the flow of foreign capital into Chinese stocks.The catalyst was the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its regulatory regime. The beginning...

Something interesting has happened on the Wuhan virus front over the past few days. The Biden bunch have changed their tune about media coverage. Once the media were loyal little catchfarts and stenographers pushing whatever narrative the Biden White House wanted to put out between sessions of Biden eating boogers.Biden eats boogers? https://t.co/puO48T5rfV— Storm Paglia 🇺🇸 (@storm_paglia) July 30, 2021Somehow they became part of the problem, being needlessly alarmist about the Wuhan virus.A couple of days ago, the New York Times ran this story, C.D.C. Internal Report Calls Delta Variant as Contagious as Chickenpox.The Delta variant is much more contagious,...

Yesterday, the so-called eviction moratorium for renters put in place by the CDC expired, leading to much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Now, you may be asking yourself how the CDC, an ostensibly scientific institution, had the power to literally steal the property of Americans without any restitution.The answer is that they didn’t have that power. Yet, when the issue came up before the Supreme Court, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who every Republican and conservative went to bat for when he was unfairly accused of being a gang rapist, decided to keep his seat at the cocktail parties instead of doing...
