White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki declined to say whether or not Americans stuck in Afghanistan past the August 31 withdrawal deadline would be evacuated. "Our focus right now is on doing the work at hand and on the task at hand," Psaki said Tuesday in response to a question as to whether she could offer any "guarantee" that Americans still stuck in Afghanistan after the administration’s withdrawal deadline would still be evacuated. "And that is day by day, getting as many American citizens, as many SIV applicants, as many members of vulnerable population who are eligible to be evacuated,...

Ignore the URL as I did not know what to put in there. But, I work in NJ and just got into a debate about Covid, masks, unvaccinated at work which turned into a yelling match. It's amazing how people are okay with vaccine passports, forced mask mandates and even wishing "will ill' on those not vaccinated. I was even called selfish for not wanting to wear a mask----"but I had Covid already"......That doesn't matter. They didn't even acknowledge that illegals coming in over the border unvaccinated was a problem. WTH, it's not even worth speaking to these woke idiots....

People in France will now need to show a health pass to enjoy usually routine activities such as sipping a coffee in a café or traveling on an intercity train, in a plan championed by President Emmanuel Macron to squeeze COVID-19 infections and encourage vaccination. The government is pressing ahead with the extension of an already-existing health pass for venues including cafés, restaurants and intercity travel, despite four weekends of angry protests that saw almost a quarter of a million rally nationwide on Saturday. Macron, who has expressed exasperation with the protests, hopes that the plan will help ramp up...

Poland Reacts to the Motu ProprioDespite the decline of the Catholic Church in almost every metric since the Second Vatican council, Poland remains a strongly Catholic country, at least in relative terms. Poland was behind the iron curtain when the reforms of Vatican II were implemented, and the Catholic Church provided an oasis of hope to the people against the Marxists. This hope was further strengthened when one of their own, Cardinal Karol Wojtyła, the archbishop of Krakow, was chosen as the successor to St. Peter. It was this combination of circumstances that helped Poland remain strongly Catholic and pious...

Ralph Puglisi had been embezzling millions of dollars for years when he decided to try a new trick: laundering money through the pornographic website profile of a relative's fiancee, investigators found. For a time, it worked. With the millions he stole, Puglisi renovated his house, covered rent for one of his parents, paid for a relative's wedding expenses, traveled, chartered yachts and bought land on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, investigators found. But higher-ups at the nonprofit where Puglisi worked began digging into ballooning expenses. It didn't take long to unearth what he had been hiding. Puglisi, 59,...

Consuming higher amounts of Vitamin D—mainly from dietary sources—may help protect against developing young-onset colorectal cancer or precancerous colon polyps, according to the first study to show such an association. The study could potentially lead to recommendations for higher vitamin D intake as an inexpensive complement to screening tests as a colorectal cancer prevention strategy for adults younger than age 50. While the overall incidence of colorectal cancer has been declining, cases have been increasing in younger adults—a worrisome trend that has yet to be explained. "Vitamin D has known activity against colorectal cancer in laboratory studies. Because vitamin D...

Two days after the fall of Kabul, TV viewers in Afghanistan watched a scene that would have been unthinkable under the former Taliban regime (1996-2001): An Afghan female presenter for the Tolo news channel interviewed a Taliban official. The host, Beheshta Arghand, who was seated 2.5 metres away from him, asked questions about the security situation in the Afghan capital. The privately-owned news channel also posted a video of another female journalist reporting from the streets of Kabul. The broadcast came as Taliban leaders reiterated their message that their disciplined fighters would not go on a killing spree against its...

August 17, 2021: Fifteen percent (15%) of voters who have not received a COVID-19 vaccine believe Dr. Anthony Fauci makes his policy recommendations based primarily on scientific data and research. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 48% think his recommendations are based primarily upon his own personal and political views.[1] The survey also found that 20% of unvaccinated voters have a favorable opinion of Fauci. Fifty-two percent (52%) of the unvaccinated have an unfavorable view of the presidential adviser.[1] These numbers suggest that Dr. Fauci may not convince certain people to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

What we are witnessing today is the end of Joe Biden’s presidency… Afghanistan was merely the last straw… Joe Biden Lost Entire Country in a Single Day After 20 years, thousands of American lives, and trillions of dollars, Afghanistan collapsed in a single day. Think about the extent of that failure. All those years, all that treasure, all those precious lives, and in one day, it’s all over. Oh, Slow Joe and the fake media will try to blame former President Donald Trump, and it is more than fair to believe the Taliban would’ve eventually routed the Afghan government with...
