A survey by an Ohio nurses’ union for the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC) found that almost a third of respondents would quit their jobs if UCMC officially finalized a Covid vaccine mandate, of which the hospital has made a preliminary announcement. There are five major local hospital systems, of which all five have announced they will eventually institute a vaccine mandate. Two of the hospitals, Christ Hospital and Cincinnati Children’s, have already set a definite vaccination deadline of October 1. Tri-Health, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and Mercy Health, as of Tuesday, had not set a definite date...

Marinated soy strips in curry and vegetarian dumplings are some of the meals that will be introduced during the new semester at Berlin universities in October 2021.

Daniela Kummle of Studierendenwerk told DW that they have used the last one and a half years of the pandemic to revise the menu in the canteens so that their...

Charlotte, NC — In what should be positive news, it is being ignored by much of the American media. However, CNN Philippines reported that around 80% of Americans ages 16+ have some natural immunity to COVID-19. The finding also shows that the actual case count is likely double that of the official count. This comes after blood donations led by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the CDC’s Dr. Jefferson Jones sought to determine how close the country was to reaching herd immunity. Starting in July 2020, the team collected samples in all 50 states, which amounted...

The typical rocket launch dumps the same amount of CO2 into the atmosphere as one airliner does in the course of a trans-Atlantic crossing If you’re worried about your ‘carbon footprint’ - a concept foisted on the world in 2004 by British Petroleum to persuade people that their own behaviour, and not giant oil companies like BP, is causing the climate problem -- then you definitely should not sign up for a sub-orbital space flight. Besides, you probably can’t afford it ($250,000 pp). Millions of people can afford it, however, and since the Branson/Bezos ‘space race’ last month tickets for...

NFL legend Herschel Walker‘s fledgling Senate bid is a little over a week old and he is already being cast as a political opportunist and damaged goods — and that’s by fellow Republicans. Mr. Walker, a Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Georgia, entered the primary race as an odds-on favorite and quickly hit the buzzsaw from the state’s Republican establishment. The situation is bringing back haunting memories from the 2020 special election where the knock-down, drag-out GOP primary fight between Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Rep. Doug Collins that helped pave the way for Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock’s rise....

Roker went on to call Scott his "second dad" and said Scott's "generous spirit" helped his career get to where it is today....

Just After the Council, Lefebvre Responds to OttavianiThe Council had been over for less than a year. Catholics were excited and confused. Different moves towards implementation, sometimes contradictory, were rumored. Already Catholic liberals were hard at work to lead the Church in their direction. What was Rome to do? After fifty-five years, we know what Cardinal Ottaviani, one of Cardinal Ratzinger’s predecessors as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, decided to do: on July 24, 1966, he wrote to the Ordinaries of the world to sound the alarm. He had been receiving daily indications of a...

Magyar Nemzet, a newspaper close to Victor Orban’s Hungarian government, sparked the discussion with an article titled “it’s time to talk about Huxit”. It was written by Tamas Fricz, a conservative academic with close links to Mr Orban’s Fidesz party. n his article Mr Fricz accused the EU of “more and more imperial features”, and “behaving more and more condescendingly and arrogantly towards the Eastern and Central European states”. He added: “The EU Commission, the European Parliament, the European Court of Justice and in parts the Council of Europe are determined to teach us a lesson. “Even more: They want...

Republican Matt Mowers, a candidate in the 2022 midterm election, looking to unseat vulnerable Democrat Rep. Chris Pappas in New Hampshire’s First Congressional District, told Breitbart News the Biden administration needs to be held accountable, and a Republican House majority will do that. Mowers spoke to host Matthew Boyle on Breitbart News Saturday this weekend to discuss Afghanistan and running to unseat a vulnerable Democrat member to try to flip the House of Representatives. Boyle asked Mowers about Afghanistan playing out with the current administration, as Mowers was also a former diplomat and Senior White House Advisor at the State...

A spokesperson for the Taliban has cautioned the United States regarding potential future interferences with their culture and treatment of women in Afghanistan. According to Fox News, Taliban spokesperson Suhail Shaheen has advised the U.S. not to attempt to change or manage any cultural practices that the Taliban implements under an impending regime. Shaheen told Fox News that women should not be educated without a hijab. After stating that women and girls should be required to wear hijabs in the classroom, the spokesperson aimed to appease any Western worries regarding human rights before making the Taliban’s wishes for autonomy on...

A government designed to secure our unalienable rights has become something of a black-hole that devours liberty. In the sum total of our three national branches, fewer than 1,500 (One president, 100 senators, 435 congressmen, and about 875 Article III judges) men and women push around over 320 million citizens without restraint or fear for their personal safety. What is to be done? If we weigh the potential benefit, meaning the restoration of our republic, against the remote disadvantages of an amendments convention, there is little reason to avoid one. Some prominent conservatives have expressed concern over the possibility of...

This is a graphic demonstration of the fallacy of masks for the prevention of virus infections.

Hungary: Wonderful Results!From an interview with H.E. Mr. Eduard Habsburg-Lothringen, Ambassador of Hungary to the Holy See (CittaNuova.it, 28 August).Question: Europe is going through a serious demographic crisis and falling birth rates. What is the Hungarian state doing to support the family?Answer: Hungary saw this danger years ago and decided to act. The Orbán government has been working on this for nine years and we have achieved wonderful results: a 40% increase in marriages, a 25% decrease in divorces and above all a 30% decrease in abortions.Clearly, for such a change, the government's willingness to commit itself to families is...

The tragic mishandling of the situation in Afghanistan has, ironically enough, given D.C. politicians plenty of cover to sneak through other measures that would be opposed by a majority of Americans. One of those was passed by the Democrat-controlled House last week. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would give Joe Biden's Justice Department the ability to police new changes to voting laws in states that have racked up a series of “violations,” drawing them into a mandatory review process known as “preclearance.” In other words, states would be unable to pass election integrity laws without getting the say-so...

The Capitol Riots on January 6 will go down in history as one of the most finely dissected events in modern times. Despite the public scrutiny of the events, the FBI refuses to release over 14,000 hours of footage. But in spite of the limitations of the federal government’s lack of transparency, there are new videos being released that are dramatically changing our understanding of the seminal event. It appears now from a time-stamped series of videos based on a restored Parler video archive that the Capitol protests escalated into riots in conjunction with the reckless and indiscriminate police discharge...

A Butler County judge did not make a decision Friday on a Fairfield Twp. woman’s request that UC Health West Chester Hospital treat her husband suffering from COVID-19 with Ivermectin for a longer period, but he did give the treating physicians some control of a temporary order. Julie Smith, whose 51-year-old husband, Jeffrey Smith, was breathing only with aid of a ventilator earlier this month, won a temporary ruling from Butler County Common Pleas Judge Gregory Howard on Aug. 23 that UC West Chester must honor a Centerville doctor’s prescription and treat Jeffrey Smith with Ivermectin. That ruling came after...
