The usual hysterical fake newsers like Jennifer Rubin and Max Boot celebrating the medical tyranny. The establishment is wasting no time announcing vaccine mandates in the military and in New York and California minutes after the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the COVID mRNA injection. Just minutes after the FDA’s announcement, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby announced Monday that the military is now requiring soldiers to get the jab under threat of court martial. “Now that the Pfizer vaccine has been approved, the Defense Department is prepared to issue new guidance requiring all service members to be vaccinated,” Kirby...

The left continues to marginalize those with reservations against the vaccine (largely libertarian and conservatives). The script goes like this: “The same people that were against vaccines are now against shutting the government down to save lives!!!” This is to happen in time for the 2022 midterms (the second shutdown so that democrats can cheat a second time). Lefties on social media are already calling for the death of “ANTI-VAXXERS”

As the leading executioner per capita in the world, it is perhaps appropriate that a notorious killer, known as ‘The Butcher of Tehran,’ has ascended to the presidency. Following his rigged election, Ebrahim Raisi was inaugurated as president on August 5th. Listed as an international terrorist in the USA, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have called for his indictment for violations of human rights and crimes against humanity. He has boasted of his role as a member of the ‘Death Commission’ appointed by the then Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini in 1988, which oversaw the massacre of more than 30,000...

A significant number of Joe Biden’s top foreign policy advisors – including his Director of National Intelligence and National Security Advisor – participated in an event advocating against the “containment” of the Chinese Communist Party, with funding coming from various Chinese Communist regime-backed sources, The National Pulse can reveal. The news comes as analysts review Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal, and raise questions as to the intent of the White House in diminishing America’s role in the world. China Forum. Organized by the University of California San Diego’s (UCSD) 21st Century China Center since 2019, the annual “China Forum” has counted...

Major air carriers American and Southwest airlines on Monday joined the Afghan evacuation effort, freeing up parts of their fleets to aid in the US withdrawal from Kabul. American is deploying three wide-body planes to US military bases and other third-country sites to transport Afghan refugees who were flown out of Kabul airport by military aircraft — with Southwest announcing it will dispatch four flights on Monday, Fox Business reported. “This is a challenging time and, like always, we are stronger when we come together around a common purpose and work together for the greater good,” American Airlines CEO Doug...

Australia's New South Wales has gone stark, raving mad. Eleven days ago, it renewed complete lockdowns, including barring people from speaking to each other, thanks to a few hundred new cases and the deaths of two men in their 90s. These new cases were on top of the 12,588 cases and 91 deaths since last February, out of a population of 5.3 million — in other words, numbers that aren't even a statistical blip. That, it turns out, was the beginning. The state shepherded tens of thousands of children into arenas and injected them with vaccines, it's arresting people for...

It seems bad optics is a Democrat brand, as Queen Nancy displays the height of privilege. The visuals alone would be impressively bad, based alone on the years of racial identity politics being played by Democrats. But once you layer in the politicization of the pandemic for over a year, and the way this past month you have heard from Democrats and media figures about how Republicans are actively trying to kill their own citizens, things appear even more outlandish. It is hardly breaking news when Democrats display double standards, but even by their own recidivist standards, the outbreak of...

The US Capitol Police officer who shot and killed pro-Trump rioter Ashli Babbitt on January 6 will not face any disciplinary action, the department said Monday. "USCP's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) determined the officer's conduct was lawful and within Department policy, which says an officer may use deadly force only when the officer reasonably believes that action is in the defense of human life, including the officer's own life, or in the defense of any person in immediate danger of serious physical injury," the department said in a statement. The officer will not be named, the department said, out...

My Experience with the New MassI do not like to write in an autobiographical vein, but since I am of those Pope Francis has marked for extinction, perhaps public testimony is fitting. An aggressor should tolerate a word even from his victims. The Holy Father may consider this a contribution for an anticipated exhibit on the indigenous people of the Catholic Church. The New Mass and I grew up together, so to speak. The Mass was introduced to my home diocese of Wichita, Kansas, during my second-grade year, 1970-1971, and our Catholic school prepared us to receive First Communion in...

KAUST researchers have found a way to significantly increase the speed of training. Large machine learning models can be trained significantly faster by observing how frequently zero results are produced in distributed machine learning that use large training datasets.AI models develop their “intelligence” by being trained on datasets that have been labelled to tell the model how to differentiate between different inputs and then respond accordingly. The more labelled data that goes in, the better the model becomes at performing whatever task it has been assigned to do. For complex deep learning applications, such as self-driving vehicles, this requires enormous...

Though President Biden has been busy ordering federal employees, nursing home employees, and military personnel to take the COVID vaccines and encouraging private employers and state governors to make vaccination a condition of employment, he has not required White House staff to get vaccinated. "The President feels that those who work directly for him are a better class of people and that it would be wrong for him to intrude upon their right to control what goes into their bodies," Press Secretary Jen Psaki explained. "He feels very strongly that the 'my body, my choice' paradigm that bolsters his position...

Does it make Max Boot feel big to tell a former President of the United States to "shut up?" The Washington Post columnist and Never Trumper did just that on today's Morning Joe. In his recent Washington Post column, Boot argued that neither Trump nor Mike Pompeo nor Mike Pence, have any right to criticize Biden's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal since they set it in motion. Boot summed up his position by trumpeting: "People like Trump and Pompeo just need to find a good opportunity right now to just shut up and stop criticizing something that they set in...

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is in a virtual tie with prospective Republican challenger James Craig in next year’s gubernatorial race, according to a poll published Sunday. The poll, conducted August 9–15 by the Detroit Free Press and EPIC-MRA, found Whitmer had 45 percent support compared to James’s 44 percent support. The one-point difference is within the poll’s four-point margin of error and therefore pits the two candidates in a statistical tie. Eleven percent of respondents were undecided.

I work for a large corporation and I am quite certain that they are very strongly considering mandating the vaccination for all of the employees. So Pfizer gets approved today. On the surface, that seems like a bad thing. However, as I think about it, how does the company use the approval of one vaccine to make a mandate for all of the employees. It seems to me if they mandate the vaccine then they must mandate the approved vaccine , but if they mandate the approved vaccine then two thirds of their workforce is working without the approved vaccine....

The woman involved in an alleged stabbing outside Regions Hospital on Tuesday had been arrested and charged two weeks earlier for stabbing a man in Minneapolis. Jewlese Maxine Floyd, 20, of Minneapolis was charged Thursday with one count of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of assault causing substantial bodily harm.
