The Biden Administration, elected Democrat politicians, government bureaucrats, the education establishment, and clueless corporate management are hellbent on imposing Covid-19 vaccine mandates. These mandates could potentially apply to everyone over the age of 12. The FDA, at the urging of Biden Administration, is on the cusp of granting final approval for the mRNA (Pfizer and Moderna) vaccines in an unprecedented and abbreviated period of time, thus, providing the legal basis for the mandates to be imposed and enforced. Based on ongoing research and actual experience with these drugs, there should be a significant slow-down in the approval process and a...

Pi has been calculated to an astonishing 62.8 trillion figures by a team of Swiss scientists who spent 108 days working it up - 3.5 times as fast as the previous record. The previous record was calculated to 50 trillion figures, and was set in 2020, said experts from Graubuenden University of Applied Sciences in Chur, Switzerland. Researchers haven't revealed the exact numbers involved in the extra 12.8 trillion digits, as they are waiting on the Guinness Book of Records to certify their achievement, but say the final 10 digits they discovered are '7817924262'. The number π (pi) is a...

It is my very firm belief that when America is strong, the world is safer and more stable. Observe then, that it has taken less than seven months for our installed (*) government to diminish America’s strength and our standing in the world, with the predictable consequence of strengthening the enemies of Freedom. My father had several small desk-top plaques or picture frames in his office that displayed either witty sayings or motivational wisdom. As a salesman and small business owner, I think he wanted to generate conversation with the folks who visited his office so he could learn what...

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban declared an “amnesty” across Afghanistan and urged women to join their government Tuesday, seeking to convince a wary population that they have changed... ...Overnight, flight-tracking data showed a U.S. military plane taking off for Qatar, home to the U.S. military Central Command's forward headquarters.

Afghanistan has fallen. The Taliban are the newly inaugurated genocidaires to now rule that nation. Women between the ages of 15 and 45 have already been ordered to make themselves available to slavish marriages with the male martyrs of their new global vision and rule by their distinct, and yes anti-Muslim, interpretation of Islam. Public stonings of women will return. Publicly spectacular executions will return. Systemic sexual child abuse will exponentially increase. In 2017, I wrote a piece entitled, “President Obama’s Genocide.” The analysis detailed the rise of ISIS simply predicated upon the faulty political notion promoted and enacted by...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemPsalm 137 1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. 2 There on the poplars we hung our harps, 3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” 4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land? 5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. 6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you,...

Metzler: Observations of delocalized gamma emission from Co-57/Fe-57 samples during application of mechanical stress Florian Metzler Energy Production and Conversion Group, MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics The research presented is motivated by a host of experimental reports where radiation is observed but not conventionally expected and others where radiation is not observed but conventionally expected. Such reports raise questions about mechanisms for energy transfer into and out of atomic nuclei. Our group has pursued theoretical and experimental work to investigate the possibility of energy transfer into and out of atomic nuclei aided by the surrounding lattice. Here, we report on...

Gone are Western clothes favoured by the fashion-conscious in the Afghan capital, with men on the streets now wearing traditional shalwar kameez. And there are hardly any women to be seen. "The fear is there," said a shopkeeper Tuesday, asking not to be named after he opened his neighbourhood provisions store. Life was returning to a new normal in Kabul as cautious residents ventured out of their homes to see what life would be like under the Taliban following their astonishing return to power at the weekend. For some, it's as if the last 20 years never happened. Already there...

Returning from a weeklong vacation Monday, CNN host Chris Cuomo talked publicly for the first time about the resignation of his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, saying he urged the governor to step down. Cuomo took last week off as scrutiny intensified over how he advised his brother when the governor first faced the sexual harassment allegations that forced him out of office. He addressed the matter along with the growing criticism over how he dealt with the governor on his program as he went from early hero of the COVID-19 pandemic to another disgraced politician caught in a...

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand’s government took drastic action Tuesday by putting the entire nation into a strict lockdown for at least three days after finding a single case of coronavirus infection in the community. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern invoked some of the stirring rhetoric she used early in the pandemic by urging the “team of 5 million” — New Zealand’s population — to go hard and early in trying to eliminate the latest outbreak. “We have seen what happens elsewhere if we fail to get on top of it,” Ardern said. “We only get one chance.” She...

(CNN) First it was "Fear," then it was "Rage," now it is "Peril." That is the title of the highly-anticipated third book about President Trump from legendary journalist Bob Woodward, this time written with co-author Robert Costa, a Washington Post national political reporter. "Peril" is scheduled for release on September 21, and will closely examine the tumultuous time spanning the November 2020 election, the January 6 insurrection, and President Biden's inauguration. According to details exclusively obtained by CNN, the book will reveal how the transition period was "far more than just a domestic political crisis" and "one of the most...

There are numerous occupied people around the world seeking statehood or national liberation, including Kurds, Tibetans and Turkish Armenians. The only group that has received official recognition by the UN, including observer status and the right to speak and participate in committed work, is the same group that invented modern international terrorism – namely the Palestinians.
