VIDEOFox News has fired its legal analyst, Andrew Napolitano, due to charges he harassed a male employee. Let us skip over the sordid details of the case to consider if Napolitano was blackmailed into supporting the impeachment of President Trump in 2019. It is not beyond the realm of possibility considering the desperation of the Democrats to remove President Trump from office in the wake of their extreme disappointment over the fact that the Mueller Report had just revealed NO Trump-Russia collusion. In this video we see Napolitano, to the surprise of many, strongly supporting impeachment. Was his motivation to...

Remdesivir is an antiviral drug originally discovered as part of a program to develop antiviral agents with activity against novel emerging viruses. In the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was tested as a potential therapeutic and found to measurably reduce recovery time for hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The Food and Drug Administration approved its use in October 2020 and it remains the only FDA-approved antiviral for treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Currently, Remdesivir must be administered intravenously, a process that restricts its use to patients hospitalized with relatively severe or advanced cases of COVID-19. The FDA has approved the use...

A study led by researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center found a significant association between cholesterol-lowering drugs commonly known as statins and survival rates of triple-negative breast cancer patients. Since statins are low in cost, easy to access, and produce minimal side effects, this could have an important impact on outcomes for this aggressive disease. The study, led by Kevin Nead, M.D., assistant professor of Epidemiology, was published today (August 3, 2021) in the journal Cancer. This research extends the current knowledge of the association between statin use and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and it is...

Am looking for experiences from Freepers that have had covid-19. I have put this up one other time, Freepers are not here all of the time and browsing habits can vary. If you have already answered please disregard this post. I will publish the results from both polls, removing the top 10% and the bottom 10%. I had it with my wife and 5 kids in February. Thank you for your time and be blessed! Founded PS: I should probably do one on vaccines and reactions as well, in time.

There's a widespread belief that your testosterone can affect where you end up in life. At least for men, there is some evidence for this claim: several studies have linked higher testosterone to socioeconomic success. But a link is different to a cause and using DNA, our new research suggests it may be much less important for life chances than previously claimed. In previous studies, male executives with higher testosterone have been found to have more subordinates, and financial traders with higher testosterone found to generate greater daily profits. Testosterone has been found to be higher among more highly educated...

A bill for a guaranteed income program proposed by progressive Democrats in Congress is calling for ongoing $1,200 monthly stimulus checks for adults plus $600 for each child in the household.

Ilhan Omar, and co-sponsored by Reps. Cori Bush, D-Missouri, Dwight Evans D-Pennsylvania, Jamaal Bowman D, New York, and Pramila Jayapal D-California. “Poverty is a choice. For too long we have prioritized endless growth while millions are homeless, hungry or without healthcare” Omar said in...

Blog/Rule of Law Posted Aug 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong Spread the love A number of people have written in about their employer saying get vaccinated or you are fired. I suggest that a lawyer send a letter stating that these vaccines are experimental Moderna did it in 2 days. Therefore, your employer will be responsible for any side effects or serious illness ONLY if they MANDATE rather than suggest or encourage. You cannot sue the politicians and you cannot sue the drug companies. Gates does not have immunity nor will your employer. Many will not take you back if...

Results of the study: COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated. Vaccines for SARS, MERS and RSV have never been approved, and the data generated in the development and testing of these vaccines suggest a serious mechanistic concern: that vaccines designed empirically using the traditional approach (consisting of the unmodified or minimally modified coronavirus viral spike to elicit neutralising antibodies), be they composed of protein, viral vector, DNA or RNA and irrespective of delivery method, may worsen COVID-19 disease via antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). This risk is...

Breaking News: New York will require proof of vaccination for indoor dining and gyms, Mayor Bill de Blasio plans to announce. It’s believed to be the first U.S. city to do so.

The real pandemic in this fiasco we are living through is the rampant censorship, banning, omitting, blocking, punishing, etc., of opposing views. The biggest culprits being the social media giants, FaceBook, Google, Twitter and YouTube...and their enablers, big government & MSM. Why in the world would you censor presidents, doctors, lawyers, political leaders, scientific data, etc., ... simply because it goes against the government narrative? If today's social media were alive in the times of Copernicus, they'd be banning the Heliocentric Theory of the universe. Would Ford still be making Edsels if opposing opinions that it was an ugly car...
