Here and now, more than usual, a nation’s relation with others flows less from choices about policy than it does from the character of its people and ruling class. Scarcely any foreign policy is possible for a people who hate one another. All but the most basic functions are beyond being supported by a population—of ever lower intellectual and moral capacity—that has lost confidence in its leaders. Today’s U.S. ruling class is thoroughly corrupt and absorbed in domestic revolution. No serious statesmen would display their own country’s internal divisions as does the U.S. by flying the LGBT flag. It is...

n an interview with MSNBC on Tuesday, Anthony Fauci said that defeating the coronavirus is more important than Americans’ personal freedoms, and that every American should be forced to get a vaccine, the Daily Caller reports. When asked by host Willie Geist, Fauci said that he supports vaccine mandates for teachers and all levels of schools, including colleges and universities, referring to the India Variant, also known as the “Delta Variant,” as a “major surge” that has led to a “critical” situation. “We are in a major surge now as we’re going into the fall, into the school season,” Fauci...

A nurse in Germany is reportedly suspected of injecting thousands of patients with a fake coronavirus vaccine, prompting authorities to urge more than 8,000 people to get an additional shot. Authorities suspect an unnamed Red Cross nurse injected about 8,600 patients in Friesland in northern Germany with saline solution in early spring, a time where a majority of patients receiving their vaccines were among the elderly population, Reuters reported. Local councilor Sven Ambrosy said he is "totally shocked by this episode."

Stevie Nicks has cancelled her solo concerts for 2021, citing her fear of catching Covid-19. The Fleetwood Mac star said: “While I’m vaccinated, at my age I am still being extremely cautious and for that reason have decided to skip the five performances I had planned for 2021.” She added: “These are challenging times with challenging decisions that have to be made. I want everyone to be safe and healthy and the rising Covid cases should be of concern to all of us.” Nicks had been due to perform at festivals in California, Colorado, Texas and Louisiana.

Explanation: When do cloud bottoms appear like bubbles? Normally, cloud bottoms are flat. This is because moist warm air that rises and cools will condense into water droplets at a specific temperature, which usually corresponds to a very specific height. As water droplets grow, an opaque cloud forms. Under some conditions, however, cloud pockets can develop that contain large droplets of water or ice that fall into clear air as they evaporate. Such pockets may occur in turbulent air near a thunderstorm. Resulting mammatus clouds can appear especially dramatic if sunlit from the side. The mammatus clouds pictured here, lasting...

Love and Commandments: Francis Again Gets It WrongFrancis spoke at the August 11 General Audience about the Ten Commandments in order to relativise them,“May the Lord help us to journey along the path of the commandments but looking toward the love of Christ, with the encounter with Christ, knowing that the encounter with Jesus is more important than all of the commandments,” he said.This contraposition is wrong because loving Christ and observing his commandments is the same thing as Christ himself says in John 14,21, “He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me.”Francis is...

I just attempted to make my regular phone call to Jake Corman's office to push for a forensic audit in PA and to issue subpoenas for three counties not providing information for a forensic audit spearheaded by Senator Doug Mastriano.Due to business and other appointments during the day, I leave messages on Corman's answering machine in the evening. Going forward, I guess I will have to find time during the day to call.This RINO piece of excrement (Corman) must be getting tired of hearing calls for subpoenas to compel counties to provide the required information for a forensic audit.Lindell's Cyber...

A fired-up Sen. Cory Booker praised GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville for forcing a vote Tuesday in the Senate on defunding the police, saying he wanted to "hug" his GOP colleague for putting to rest "scurrilous" accusations that Senate Democrats want to strip law enforcement of money. Tuberville, R-Ala., authored an amendment to Democrats' $3.5 trillion budget resolution that would decrease federal funds to localities that defund the police. In teeing up the politically charged vote, Tuberville said in a floor speech that "opposing my amendment is a vote in support of defunding the police and against the men and women...

Connecticut's police accountability task force is proposing that police officers statewide be prohibited from stopping drivers for broken headlights and other minor violations. The panel approved the recommendation Tuesday as data show Black and Hispanic motorists in the state are stopped at disproportionate rates for vehicle equipment and registration violations, compared with white drivers. Task force members said they hope restricting stops for minor violations reduce that disparity and decreases confrontations where police use force. The panel also is recommending to state lawmakers that police be barred from stopping drivers who display their license plates in their back windows and...

45th President Donald Trump issued a statement congratulating Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, for having the courage to pardon U.S. Senate candidate Mark McCloskey and his wife. The McCloskeys gained national fame last year, when they used firearms to defend their home from a trespassing mob of Black Lives Matter protesters during the heat of the George Floyd-inspired riots that gripped America for much of 2020. “Congratulations to Governor Mike Parson of Missouri for having the courage to give Mr. and Mrs. Mark McCloskey a full pardon,” wrote President Donald Trump earlier today. “They were defending their property and...

Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City pushed back against the media's hysterical narrative that their hospital had "hit capacity" due to child covid cases by pointing out that most of their child patients have respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), not covid, and they have "plenty of capacity" to see kids in outpatient settings. "Children's Mercy hits capacity as COVID cases continue rising in KC Metro," blared a headline from the Kansas City Star on July 27. "As you may have heard, we are currently experiencing high patient volumes in the hospital, but we continue to be able to meet the needs...

Novavax has created a fourth COVID-19 vaccine using moth cells and tree bark. Instead of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna) or a viral vector vaccine (Johnson & Johnson), Novavax is a subunit protein vaccine. Infectious diseases expert Diana Florescu, MD, led the phase 3 clinical trial of the Novavax vaccine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). "Diversity in vaccine production helps increase the number of patients vaccinated," says Dr. Florescu. "Some might not accept mRNA vaccines, while others may be allergic to certain ingredients."For example, some are allergic to polyethylene glycol (PEG), an ingredient in the mRNA (Pfizer...

Human Rights Watch Israel-Palestine director Omar Shakir spoke directly to board A former longtime Ben & Jerry's employee said the company's decision to boycott Israel was based on advice from a BDS activist who was expelled from Israel for spearheading economic pressure campaigns against the Jewish state. Susannah Levin, who spent 21 years as a freelance graphic designer for Ben & Jerry's before resigning last month over the company's decision to halt its sales in the West Bank, said the company's board consulted with Human Rights Watch's Israel-Palestine director Omar Shakir, an advocate of the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions...

This is a stunning video and represents the best presentation to show how the 2020 election was determined; not by actual people voting but by algorithms inserted into election tabulation machines. {Direct Rumble Link} Dr. Douglas G Frank explains information he discovered as he reviewed election outcomes. Dr. Frank found the baseline for the 2020 vote was created by applying an algorithm that used the 2010 census to fabricate the illusion of registered voters at a state level (predetermined) and then results are controlled at a county level. Every state is impacted, and every county within the state generates the...

They went from crush to crushed. When she was isolating in Florida last year at the beginning of the pandemic, scared and lonely, Erin Davis had one thing driving her hope and racing heartbeat: Andrew Cuomo. “Cuomo was my God,” said the 36-year-old Upper East Sider, who added that she’s drawn to older men. “I was crazy for him — I thought he was shamelessly sexy.” Davis, who works as a dating coach, even threw herself a “Cuomo de Mayo” party complete with cocktails and prints of Cuomo’s wide grin during lockdown. But Davis’ fire for the governor started to...
