In what could be an indicator of things to come in the 2022 mid-term election, the GOP flipped a state senate seat in a Connecticut special election on Tuesday night – the first flip for either party in 2021. The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) announced in an email: State Republicans tonight delivered the first flip of a state legislative seat in a special election by either party in 2021, as Republican Ryan Fazio defeated liberal Democrat Alex Gevanter in Connecticut’s state Senate District 36 – a district Joe Biden won by more than 25% in 2020.

This is one of the most insane stories to come out of the COVID-19 news cycle. Last month, Dr. Michelle Fiscus, Tennessee’s former top vaccine authority, said that someone tried to intimidate her by sending a muzzle to her house to “send a message.” However, an investigation by Homeland Security determined that this idiot woman bought the muzzle with her own credit card through an Amazon account in her name. .. “Our most hesitant population in Tennessee is the white, male, rural conservatives…They feel that if they get the vaccine, then they have placated the left,” says Tennessee’s ousted vaccine...

The research, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, suggests that long-term care residents in Ontario who received the Pfizer vaccine had lower antibody responses to Alpha, Beta and Gamma variants of COVID-19 than those vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine. The researchers did not assess the Delta variant. "Our study does raise concerns about the response to vaccination in some residents of long-term care homes in Ontario...

The Key To NYC is not the Mark of the Beast, but it is an excellent Mark of the Beast prototype, and today New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio rolled it out with all the pomp and circumstance that would have made Adolf Hitler so very proud. Over the past 70 years, we have seen many strong, Germanic characters in countless WWII movies uttering lines like “show me your papers!!”, reminding us of a distant, dark day when tyrants ruled in Europe. Now it’s America’s turn to have tyrants, great and small, rule over us here. “And he causeth...

Evacuation flights out of Kabul are taking off almost empty despite tens of thousands of Afghans trying to flee the country after the Taliban formed a ring of steel around the airport and barred most people from reaching it. One Australian Hercules C-130 aircraft with room for 120 people took off with just 26 on board today, the government has confirmed, while a German Airbus A-400M with room for 150 was carrying just seven people when it departed yesterday. That is despite there being around 50,000 Afghans gathered at the airport who have been promised sanctuary by western nations. One...

COVID seems to be the viral gift that keeps on giving, as the world is now dealing with a second wave of illnesses stemming from a variant of the original strain called Delta. And as such, much of the world is reacting in the same way it did in response to the first wave: Panic. The first problem region we are seeing is Britain, where supermarkets are now struggling to keep up with demand and ensure the population has an adequate supply of food because of panic buying and hoarding over what the English media is calling a “ping-demic” —...

Amid backlash from his failed withdrawal in Afghanistan, President Joe Biden is receiving support from Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R), who penned a letter to him on Tuesday and said he is “eager” to welcome Afghan refugees to the state.

Emily Bit remembers a time when she didn’t feel the constant threat of climate change. Her family lives in American Canyon, in southern Napa county, California, a state now being hit by record high temperatures and devastating wildfires. “It didn’t used to be this bad,” she said. These days her family has to evacuate their home every summer. Two of her friends lost their homes in Paradise, the town consumed by the 2018 Camp fire disaster, the deadliest in California history. Last year, a wildfire burned the nature reserve behind her local school until it was “entirely black. It was...

This is what victory looks like — You get to call the shots. The Taliban is now telling Joe Biden and Democrats what the new rulers expect in the next four weeks.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge.From HIPPA to “show me your medical records” in just 25 years. Awesome. This is the inevitable evolution of progressive politics: So be sure to take your COVID shots today!How does this even happen? The same way we went from energy dominance to energy begging in just 8 months. It’s not an accident, it’s the endgame of leftwing progressive policies. We are intended to become...

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come” (II Tim. 3:1). Be aware that “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (II Tim. 3:13). The right of U.S. citizens to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to buy and sell, etc., is being challenged by the shadow government’s desire to restrict and/or control American’s freedom of religion, speech, right to buy and sell, etc. Covid is a global medical crisis that the godless shadow government created to justify the establishment of a world government, world religion, and worldwide tracking...

Kamala Harris Refused to Face American People as Afghanistan Collapsed According to multiple reports, Harris was asked to address the American people on Sunday about the unraveling situation in the war-torn country, but refused. As the Taliban threatened the lives of thousands of Americans and allies in Kabul, pressure mounted on the White House to look the people in the eye and explain what happened. Yet, no one did. A well-placed source inside the White House informs Becker News that Kamala objected to addressing the nation on Sunday. The source reports that Harris could be heard screaming, “They will not...

In Egypt, the recent announcement that bread prices, long subsidized for much of the population, would likely have to rise was met with cries of despair. Indeed, over two-thirds of the population of Egypt depend on inexpensive bread for daily sustenance. In order to understand the current situation in Egypt, it’s imperative to learn how the current situation was created in the first place. First, the word used for bread in Egypt is different from the word common to other Arab countries, and is intertwined with the word meaning “to live.” Also, the most common type of bread in Egypt,...
