One guest (name unclear) on Steve Bannon's radio, just before it closed at 12:00 EDT), reported a British C-130 that "he had flown in on earlier" broke its wing and crashed flying into and out of Kabul's single runway airport. No other confirmation, no other details. Those three on-line listening and talking did not react, seemed to already know it, so - perhaps "older news" from a previous day or even previous week?

What is now emerging is a picture of a virus that never quite goes away ... Investors should count on Covid-19 being a lasting threat. This means that a substantial market for vaccines and booster shots could persist for many years. That would help justify the sky-high valuations of companies like Moderna (ticker: MRNA) and BioNTech (BNTX) and give support to the Pfizer (PFE) bulls who say the company’s shares should be getting more credit for its Covid-19 vaccine.

A group of seven Capitol Police officers filed a lawsuit on Thursday accusing former President Donald J. Trump and nearly 20 members of far-right extremist groups and political organizations of a plot to disrupt the peaceful transition of power during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

Under this license, you are authorized to manufacture the product, COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA, which is indicated for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older.

Advocacy groups are urging President Joe Biden to bypass Congress by creating a White House office of gun violence as the confirmation of his nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives remains in jeopardy, Politico reported.Four groups send Biden a letter on Wednesday and complained the president's actions on guns "fall significantly short of the promises you yourself made while running for the presidency," Politico reported Thursday.The activists said weapons had not been a Biden priority as 28,000 Americans have died from gun violence this year."Your administration is hard at work pursuing important priorities from infrastructure...

The withdrawal from Afghanistan will ultimately benefit Israel because it frees up resources that can be used to support the Jewish state, White House officials said on Tuesday. “If anything, the end of America’s military involvement in Afghanistan frees up resources and attention and ultimately allows us to better support our partners like Israel,” the Times of Israel cited one unnamed official as saying.

An Afghan Air Force AC-208 Eliminator used for ground attack. Known as a Cessna with a Hellfire, an aircraft like this was used by former Afghan military pilots to flee Kabul in the hours after the Taliban overthrew the democratically elected government. Those 13 aircrew are now appealing for asylum in Canada. (U.S. Defense Visual Information Distribution Service) ________________________________________________________________________________ As darkness fell a week ago Sunday, the Taliban had them totally surrounded. There was no way out of the Kabul airport the night the Afghan government fell. For a dozen military pilots, there was only one thing left to do...

The hottest debate among economists and investors is when central banks will back away from pandemic-era policies. After months of ambiguity, they finally have an answer — at least from South Korea. What's happening: The Bank of Korea raised its base interest rate from 0.5% to 0.75% on Thursday. The move is aimed at reining in inflation, a red-hot real estate market and high levels of household debt, which the central bank decided were more worrying than a spike in coronavirus cases. Citi's economists are penciling in another Bank of Korea rate hike in November and two more next year....

A 60-year-old Oklahoma mother who helped several members of an internationally recognized all-girl robotics team from Afghanistan escape the country said they are feeling "so grateful" to be out. On Tuesday, 10 of the so-called "Afghan Dreamers," aged 16 to 18, were able to leave Kabul on a commercial flight to Doha, Qatar, after several failed attempts to flee the country. One of the people who helped them get out was Allyson Reneau, a mother-of-11 from Oklahoma, who first met the girls at a Humans to Mars summit in Washington DC in May 2019. ..."I got a text from...

On Nov. 9, Children’s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will release his new book — “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.” The research I conducted for my new book exposes how Fauci’s gargantuan yearly disbursements allow him to dictate the subject, content and outcome of scientific health research across the globe. These annual disbursements also allow Fauci to exercise dictatorial control over the army of “knowledge-and-innovation” leaders who populate the “independent” federal panels that approve and mandate drugs and vaccines — including the committees that allowed the...

Nearly two dozen California students and parents are among the thousands currently stranded in Afghanistan after taking a summer trip to visit family. Twenty-three students from the Cajon Valley Union School District, just outside San Diego, are stuck in Kabul with their parents after traveling to the war-torn country, the LA Times reports. They are trying to make their way to the airport or board one of the US military flights out of Kabul before the Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw US troops arrives. It was not immediately clear when the families arrived in Afghanistan, but Cajon Valley Superintendent David...

KABUL, Afghanistan - A pair of suicide bombers and gunmen outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan killed at least 13 people and wounded another 15, believed to have been carried out by the Islamic State group. At least three U.S. Marines were reportedly among those hurt. Western nations had warned earlier in the day of a possible attack at the airport in the waning days of a massive airlift. A U.S. official said the complex attack was "definitely believed" to have been carried out by the Islamic State group, whose affiliate in Afghanistan grew out of disaffected Taliban members who...

GM announced that it has issued a recall on every single Chevy Bolt made to date due to the battery fire risk. The move comes after two previous recalls, which were aimed at specific models. The Bolt was first recalled in November after five cars that hadn’t been in crashes caught fire. After investigating the problem further, Chevy recalled a second batch in July. The problem was traced to two manufacturing defects that could occur simultaneously. The defects—a torn anode tab and a folded separator—created conditions that could lead to a short in affected cells. So far, the company has...

While Christ’s death dealt with our personal sins so we would be found innocent, the key to eternal life is His resurrection. Scripture states if there was no resurrection, we would remain dead in our sins (1 Corinthians 15:17). It is Christ’s resurrection that enabled several of the secure positions before God. It is Christ’s resurrection that allowed Him to ascend to heaven to send the Holy Spirit to seal us (Romans 8:9), to now head the family of God into which we are adopted (Ephesians 1:5) and to spiritually baptize us so we are identified with His new life...

“Country club Republicans” was once the description of choice for those conservatives more concerned with their own pedigree and status than implementing policies that benefit the people. RINOs, “Republicans in name only,” is now more common but a new term from Paul du Quenoy at American Greatness is far more accurate. “Vichycons” – Vichy conservatives – applies to those soi-disant conservatives comfortable with conditions under the Biden Junta, what Angelo Codevilla calls an oligarchy – after serious election irregularities that Conrad Black helpfully outlines. The Vichy reference goes back to the 1940s and the 1942 film Casablanca dramatizes the parallels....

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Wednesday evening, ahead of President Biden’s meeting with the new leader. McConnell said on Twitter that he and Bennett spoke about “shared challenges,” including global terrorism, anti-Semitism and the “Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement,” a Palestinian-led movement aimed at pressuring Israel on human rights issues. “Good conversation with @IsraeliPMBennett last night. We discussed shared challenges: Global terrorism, Iran's dangerous aspirations, anti-Semitism & BDS,” McConnell tweeted. “Reaffirmed my support for deeper strategic partnership and preserving Israel's qualitative military edge & freedom of action.”

A devout atheist and 'humanist chaplain' at Harvard University is set to lead the progressive university's collection of religious leaders. Greg Epstein, 44, has been named president of the chaplains for the religious community at the Ivy League School. Epstein, who has served as Harvard's 'humanist chaplain' since 2005 is a devout atheist and caters to fellow nonreligious believers as well as agnostics and humanists at the Cambridge, Massachusetts, school.

Mary Trump, former President Trump's niece, said Thursday that she doesn’t see her cousins connecting with the GOP should they decide to run for office. In an interview on CNN’s “New Day,” Mary Trump said former White House adviser Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. don't have the kind of charisma as her uncle. “I don't see anybody else at the top of the Republican Party who has the same kind of sway with other, with their voters, and it's certainly not, certainly not my cousins,” Mary Trump said.

An Arkansas jail and its health-care provider are facing criticisms of “medical experimentation” because the jail’s medical staff has been treating covid-19 patients with ivermectin, a drug commonly used for deworming livestock. Washington County Justice of the Peace Eva Madison (D) said she heard reports of the practice Tuesday after a county employee visited a Karas Health Care coronavirus testing site at the Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville and was prescribed ivermectin despite testing negative for the coronavirus. Karas is one of three health-care providers accessible to employees on the county health-care plan. It operates in the jail as...

The U.S. has held the role of the world's Cop since the time of our great-grandparents. No one in living memory has any other expectation. And now, the unanimous decision of the 2,100 billionaire Oligarchs to turn NYC into Mogadishu, as personified by our Alzheimer in Chief, is being remarked on with dismay, by world leaders, commentators world-wide, and ordinary people everywhere. Hail to the CheeseA Bobby On Every Street Corner--yell "Police", instantly, the sound of running feet and the sound of a soft, shrill whistle blowing. A commonplace in Sherlock Holmes movies and t.v. shows, that goes some ways...
