Chinese authorities have pressured and silenced citizens whose family members have died after getting vaccinated against COVID-19, according to families inside China.At least two people who received Chinese-made vaccines died after receiving the shots—one in just two days—in Chongqing, Sichuan Province, China, over the past two months.

We reported over the weekend how the left was flipping out over Joe Rogan saying he was given ivermectin as part of a combination of therapeutics to deal with COVID. One of the talking points that they kept using was describing ivermectin as a “horse dewormer” or describing it as a drug for livestock.As we explained, this itself is “disinformation,” as ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug that won the Nobel Prize in 2015 because of the benefit it had to help millions of people around the world. Even the CDC is recommending it to refugees for its anti-parasitic effect, as...

Could Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan have been linked to blackmail?(American Thinker) – Our political pundits are focusing on Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan as a political blunder by the president and our military leaders, but what if the root cause for Biden’s withdrawal is much more ominous and sinister than mere stupidity? The following questions demand an answer.Why would our military commanders willingly give up Bagram, a strategic airport built by the Russians, and why would they willingly leave $85 billion in military hardware behind?Why would they leave thousands of Americans stranded behind enemy lines while providing the Taliban...

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said Monday evening that law enforcement needs to take the upcoming right-wing rally in support of jailed January 6 rioters "very seriously" as concerns mount about more potential violence on Capitol Hill. "I think they should take it very seriously. In fact, they should take it more seriously than they took the same sort of intelligence that they likely saw on January 5," McCabe, a CNN contributor, told CNN's Poppy Harlow on "Erin Burnett OutFront." Law enforcement members in Washington are steeling themselves against possible unrest at the "Justice for J6" rally -- planned...

Ponder this: A new tally of global cities’ emissions finds that the top 25 are responsible for 52% of the planet’s urban greenhouse gas emissions. Twenty-three of those are in China.New York City is the first American city to appear, at No. 26.Out of the top 75, just four other American cities are listed – San Diego, Houston, Chicago and Los Angeles – all of them ranked 41 or higher.In other words, the U.S. – including each of our major cities – is outperforming the world when it comes to emissions. All this data begs a question of our elected...

Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee does not want to grant any religious exemptions for his vaccine mandate, and his office isn’t afraid to hide it. The rules appear so extreme that affected staff are unlikely to receive a religious exemption if a doctor or nurse has ever given them ibuprofen.Inslee ordered all state employees, health-care workers including firefighters, and both public and private school staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID by October 18 regardless of age, risk factors, or previous COVID diagnosis. If they are not injected by the deadline, Inslee vows to fire them. What’s worse, Washingtonians would...

College football is back. COVID panic porn peddlers are upset but are powerless. Sports are back. The fans are back. You can have a meltdown in your bunker. We’re getting on with life. The season is back after our chaotic and humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan where Joe Biden left Americans behind.

We’re also dealing with a natural disaster in Hurricane Ida—and Joe Biden is at the helm for all of it. Seriously, 81 million people voted for...

At the risk of pummeling an already, very dead horse, allow me to ask you once again: so, how is your pro-life vote for Joe Biden looking right now?As I’ve said repeatedly in the past, I can understand if you could not cast your vote for Donald Trump, despite all the good that he did. In your view, the damage he did and the example he set more than outweighed the positives. And so, as a lover of Jesus and the Word of God, you could not vote for him.But a vote for Biden, specifically, as a pro-life evangelical? What...

John Gibson, the CEO of the video game publisher responsible for the titles Chivalry and Killing Floor, is out of a job after he publicly voiced his pro-life views in the wake of Texas’ so-called “Heartbeat bill,” which makes it illegal to surgically abort a fetus once cardiac activity is detected in the fetus. Posting on Twitter, the Tripwire Interactive boss wrote that he was “proud of the [United States Supreme Court] affirming the Texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat.” Gibson stated that the reason he was speaking out on the issue was because of how vocal...
