In the latest proof that the White House needs to muzzle Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president’s top medical adviser told the nation that normalcy won’t come before fall or winter 2022 — then corrected it to a still-absurd spring 2022. Fauci’s initial claim to NPR was that if enough Americans get vaxxed, the country could “really get some good control over” the virus by late next year. Then he backtracked, telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper: “I didn’t mean the fall — I misspoke. My bad.” My bad? His job involves giving the public his best sense of the science and what...

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said that the storm will be 'one of the strongest hurricanes to hit anywhere in Louisiana since at least the 1850s.' Forecasters predict it could make...

A liquor store security guard was acting in self defense when he shot a customer three times because the customer was “putting other’s lives at risk by not wearing a [COVID] mask,” the guard’s private defense attorney said during a bond court hearing Wednesday. The argument did not sway cook County Judge Mary Marubio. “The victim fled the store, fell outside, followed by the defendant [who], according to the surveillance video, shot a second time. The defendant then paces back and forth and shot a third time,” Marubio said before ordering 42-year-old Chester Holmes held without bail. Holmes, who is...

High ranking source in IC told me IC officials know Biden is cognitively disabled, they argued with him to not give the order, he became combative and did it anyway. They’re concerned for global stability. Sentiment is that Kamala will at least make lucid decisions. [That is all. No further posts from Cardillo on this tweet]

A diehard team of SAS fighters have volunteered to stay behind in Afghanistan to avenge the deaths of 13 US troops ­murdered at Kabul airport. Sources say up to 40 members of the Who Dares Wins regiment have asked to remain in the war-torn nation so they can take the fight to IS-K – the terrorist group behind Thursday’s suicide bombing and gun attack. The dramatic move came as the last UK civilian evacuation flight left the airport on Saturday – with 150 British passport holders still stranded in the city.... The SAS party is likely to establish a base...

As cold-bloodedly, cruelly, and dishonestly as the Biden regime has handled this, I’ll believe there is a "credible threat" when something happens. Until then, the evidence is that this is just their latest effort to stop people from being rescued. #BugOutBiden #InXisPocket #TheyDontCare #TheyCallItCompassion #Illegitimate #NotMyPresident #Resist #ImpeachThemBoth

“Put on the Whole Armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10-20) These days many people have taken up a variety of precautions and protections to guard against the Covid virus and its variants. They have put on face masks. They have put on face shields. They sanitize their hands. They keep social distance. They take zinc and an assortment of vitamins. They get injected with a vaccine and maybe now a booster shot as well. All these precautions and protections to guard against a virus. But friends, there’s something much more dangerous and deadly than a virus going around. As St. Peter...

The Biden administration is planning to announce that most Americans who have received the coronavirus vaccine will need booster shots to combat waning immunity and the highly transmissible delta variant that is sparking a surge in covid-19 cases, according to four people familiar with the decision. The administration’s health and science experts are coalescing around the view that people will need the boosters eight months after being fully vaccinated, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a decision not yet public.

Left-wing rocker Neil Young, who has an estimated net worth of $200 million, attacked concert promoters for doing business as coronavirus case spikes continue to grip parts of the U.S. “Stop these shows” and “forget about making money for a while” Young said. “The big promoters, if they had the awareness, could stop these shows. Without that, everyone just keeps going like everything is OK. It’s not,” Young said of concerts being held in the coronavirus era, according to a report by Stereogum. “Live Nation, AEG and the other big promoters could shut this down if they could just forget...

[Catholic Caucus] Traditionis Custodes: 40 Days LaterNow can see better where we stand.The traditional Roman Rite has no shortage of enemies in the Roman Catholic Church, especially in the generation of Pope Francis. Regarding the Latin Mass (TLM), Francis’ fellow Jesuit Fr. Thomas Reese said back in April that “Children and young people should not be allowed to attend such Masses.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more condescending and clericalist statement in my entire life. Obviously Fr. Reese was worried about the youthful demographic in the Church who attend the TLM and who one day will hold positions...
