The liberal nation of France has deteriorated into a fascist police state whose vaccine passport requirements may be preventing the unvaccinated from getting basic essentials such as food, judging by a disturbing Twitter video. "French supermarkets have hired bouncers in order to deny people basic human rights to food and water because they didn’t get the right government permission slip," independent journalist Luke Rudkowski tweeted on Friday. The alarming video he posted shows a security guard brutally grabbing a masked woman and throwing her out of the store like a trash bag. The woman gets outraged by the abusive manhandling...

According to VAERS, 3,079 people have died after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, and nearly 3,900 have suffered a permanent disability. Many more thousands have been hospitalized with post-vaccination side effects. Think about that and then think about this “approval” of the vaccine as being “safe.” While I realize nothing is perfect, my only conclusion is that it was a political approval. The vaccine has killed and disabled an awful lot of otherwise healthy people, which doesn’t seem to me to warrant the green light it’s been given.Previous experimental vaccines have been pulled for far fewer dangerous side effects. Normal vaccine...

Aug 24 (Reuters) - Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers said on Tuesday they wanted all foreign evacuations from the country completed by an Aug. 31 deadline and they would not agree to an extension.

In the White House today, senior-level staffers are locked in meetings behind closed doors and the corridors are nearly empty. The president has joined an emergency G7 meeting through a video link. Meanwhile, aides are trying to sort out what he wants to do now, and whether he will keep troops in Kabul longer to allow the evacuation of US citizens, as well as those in Kabul who were promised a safe passage to the West. The president and his aides are also trying to come to terms with searing criticism from US allies that the US can no longer...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday pushed President Biden to continue evacuation efforts beyond an end-of-the-month deadline and argued that the messy exit from Afghanistan is "a lot worse than Saigon in 1975." "The president needs to forget about the August 31 deadline. ... Extend the deadline, get outside the perimeter, make sure that every single American who wants to leave is able to get out with our assistance and our Afghan allies," McConnell said during a Fox News interview on Tuesday. "The Taliban should not be allowed to tell us how long we are there to get...

The National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action is warning of more potential shortages of ammunition since the Joe Biden administration is banning the importation of Russian ammo. The organization confirmed word has come from Biden's Department of State that a ban on importation of Russian ammunition is looming. The federal department said, "New and pending permit applications for the permanent importation of firearms and ammunition manufactured or located in Russia will be subject to a policy of denial." The policy appears to prohibit the importation of both firearms and ammo, but those firearms already were heavily restricted, which means...

As President Lyndon Johnson and the best and brightest of the 1960s were broken on the wheel of Vietnam, the Biden presidency may well be broken on the wheel of the Taliban's triumph in Afghanistan. Less than a week into the chaotic U.S. withdrawal at Hamid Karzai International Airport, a CBS poll found that Americans, while still approving of President Joe Biden's decision to get us out of this "forever war," were stunned by how badly botched the withdrawal was being executed. By 75-25, Americans believe the withdrawal is going badly. And those who believe it has gone "very badly"...

“It has not been shown that natural immunity, the immunity you have after infection, is any inferior to the immunity you have after vaccination. And, in fact, there is growing evidence that natural immunity lasts a long time and is highly protective against infection and hospitalization…." --Dr. Brett Giroir

WASHINGTON – Vice President Kamala Harris was delayed from traveling to Vietnam Tuesday after her office was made aware of a possible case of the so-called Havana Syndrome, a mysterious illness that has plagued U.S. diplomats across the world.

Some unvaccinated Americans are refusing blood transfusions from vaccinated donors for fear that the blood from someone who has received a coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine is tainted in some way. The mainstream media and some health news sites quickly jumped on the opportunity to label the so-called anti-vaxxers as believers and spreaders of misinformation. They say that the anti-vaxxers believe the blood of a vaccinated individual contains a microchip or ingredients necessary for human cloning. The majority of Americans are now vaccinated against COVID-19 with 60 percent of the U.S. population and 72 percent of adults at least partially vaccinated, according...

On this date in 1889, the only guillotine execution in North America took place on the tiny French remnant colony of Saint Pierre, just off Newfoundland. August(e) Neel had capped a Dec. 30, 1888 drinking binge with fellow fisherman Louis Ollivier by breaking into a boat captain’s cabin they expected to find empty. Instead, they found the armed captain ready to defend himself … so they overpowered him and stabbed him to death. And then, for some reason — “because we were sloshed and we wanted to find out how much fat the old seadog had in his body,” Neel...
