Political activist Robert Kennedy Jr. warned that a "society in fear" due to the COVID-19 pandemic could result in the "complete obliteration of critical thinking." Kennedy, who spoke at the Ron Paul Institute's conference, noted that only a small fraction of the individuals comprising the CDC's COVID-19 death total died primarily from COVID-19. "Among 378,048 death certificates from 2020 listing COVID-19 as a cause of death, 5.5% listed COVID-19 without codes for any other conditions," according to the CDC. "The people who died, 96% of them, had almost 400 reasons that might have killed them," Kennedy said during a session...

Rumble is experiencing a massive explosion of growth. After a huge increase in 2020, its users have *doubled* in the last 2 months: near the top 100 most-visited sites in the US. And those moving there will show again it's a free-speech platform, not attached to any ideology. My own experience at Rumble highlights this growth. After just a month, the audience size for my videos is as big as if not higher than on YouTube

Exclusive interview: Courageous priest sidelined for challenging Pope Francis’ support of gay civil unions'I see an apparent victory of situation ethics over traditional Catholic morality.' Tue Sep 7, 2021 - 2:13 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — On October 21, 2020, in the documentary Francesco by Evgeny Afineevsky, Pope Francis made a statement on homosexuality that spread very quickly throughout the media and stunned the world. Abbé Janvier Gbénou, a 41-year-old African priest born in Benin and living in Côte d’Ivoire (West Africa), had no idea that this statement would change and mark his life. Ordained a priest of Jesus Christ in...

Police are hunting for the leftist thugs responsible for destroying a memorial that was set up to honor the 13 brave American heroes who lost their lives during the terror attack in Kabul, Afghanistan last month. The Riverside Police Department (RPD) in southern California is looking for individuals who destroyed flags honoring the 13 U.S. service members.

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Sept. 7. Nothing has occurred to-day over the river to disturb the general quiet not even a skirmish between pickets breaking the monotony of camp life. The rebels have receded on a line west from Ball's Cross Roads to Chain Bridge, and our pickets have advanced a mile west. A balloon observation made to-day by Gen. FITZ JOHN PORTER, showed the rebels to be occupying about the same position as before, without any material change in their numbers, except that they very congregating in larger force about Munson's Hill. From information received, it is probable that the rebels...

President Joe Biden stumbled through parts of his Tuesday briefing on Hurricane Ida, leaving the definition of a tornado unclear. Biden visited New York and New Jersey to observe the damage caused in recent days by Hurricane Ida. He discussed the impact of the storm, as well as other devastating weather incidents around the nation and how they relate to climate change. “We’ve got to make sure that we don’t leave any community behind, and it’s all across the country,” Biden said at a press conference in New Jersey. It was all looking normal until Biden had another brain freeze....

Beer technically isn’t allowed on most New Jersey beaches. But then again, all state beaches were closed in 2017, and that didn’t stop then-Gov. Chris Christie from getting out on the sand. Whether you’re sneaking booze onto the beach or just having a cold one at home, for a short time you could have celebrated the notorious Christie Beachgate scandal at the same time. Icarcus Brewing Co. in Lakewood released Private Beach, a blonde ale with the infamous Christie photo — shot by NJ Advance Media — on the can.

On September 8, 2004, CBS’s “60 Minutes” used forged government documents as the basis for a story that attacked the military record of then-President George W. Bush. It was bad enough that CBS used forged government documents, but what made it worse was that CBS aired this story during the presidential election and timed the airing to coincide with the rollout of Democrat John Kerry’s “favorite son” campaign theme. CBS thus provided the “news” upon which the Democrat candidate based his attack ads. The CBS story was quickly disproven and eventually forced CBS into personnel changes and investigations. Dan Rather...

Some staffers in the Biden White House would rather miss their boss speak in public than endure another gaffe, according to a new report. Anxiety about what President Joe Biden might say if he takes questions from the media drives some in the White House to mute him or turn off his public appearances altogether, Politico reported Tuesday, citing White House officials.

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Wednesday questioned if the court system would really penalize a 16-year-old rape victim in Texas who chose to get an abortion. Scarborough warned of the “precedent” set by the new Texas abortion law which was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. He said it would be “so heinous” if the law were to be enforced on a rape victim.

(NASA/SDO) ______________________________________________________________________________ What will our Sun look like after it dies? Scientists have made predictions about what the end will look like for our Solar System, and when that will happen. And humans won't be around to see the final act. Previously, astronomers thought it would turn into a planetary nebula – a luminous bubble of gas and dust – until evidence suggested it would have to be a fair bit more massive. An international team of astronomers flipped it again in 2018 and found that a planetary nebula is indeed the most likely solar corpse. The Sun is about...

Does the average person have any idea what is now considered “normal” in the field of K-12 education? I already had some misgivings after reading Jay Schalin’s devastating review of the curricula in education schools: The Politicization of University Schools of Education: The Long March through the Education Schools. Nevertheless, I was unprepared for what I recently heard in a 2019 speech by a leader in math education, Deborah Loewenberg Ball. While the talk is now two years old, it is very unlikely that her perspective has improved. Ball’s credentials place her at the apex of the education world: she...

The Pope’s Blast from the PastThe latest blast from Rome about the Tridentine Mass has roused all sorts of justified reactions. Many bishops—ranging from those concerned about souls to those worried about finances—have found various ways of ignoring it or setting it aside—at least for the moment. The more legal-minded have looked at different aspects, ranging from whether or not it is ultra vires in the light of Quo Primum to whether, as it does not exist in Latin, it has any legal force at all. Those more concerned with content have looked into its shrill tone, self-contradictions, and—shall we...

“‘When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me’” (John 15:26). After He has drawn us to Christ, the Holy Spirit helps us give Christ the preeminence. In the spiritual realm it is important that our attention be kept focused in the right direction—toward the object of our faith, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit, through the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, helps us understand what such focus is all about: “Let us run with endurance...

What incredible authority we have been given in prayer. How, exactly, do we use this authority? Through Christ’s own name. You see, when we placed our faith in Jesus, he gave us his name. You can see why the phrase “in Christ’s name” isn’t just some impersonal formula. Rather, it’s a literal position we have with Jesus. That position is recognized by the Father. Jesus tells us, “In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; for the Father himself loves you, because you have...

Have you noticed that some products you used to be able to buy in stores have disappeared from the shelves? Have you also noticed that every employer in the nation seems to have a large “HELP WANTED ALL SHIFTS” sign hanging in the front window? Could there possibly be a connection between these two dismal phenomena? Supposedly, some relief should be on the way, because the $300-a-week federal handout to millions of layabouts because of the Panic has now ended. So, theoretically at least, some of these 10.1 million unfilled US jobs should be filled by the 8.7 million “unemployed”...

I came across this segment of an episode of Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Series. This was in 2009 but Dr. Laibow's warning is the most prescient. According to her, since 1974, the WHO has been working on vaccines to sterilise people to depopulate the planet. Because "useless eaters" consume non-renewable resources of the elites. She talked about forced vaccinations, planned pandemic and sterilisation of those who survive the vax. Dr. Laibow treats heads of states and has been privy to insider info. On European royalty told her "it's about time to start the culling". Does anyone think we can still "go...

Watch a livestream of the Lee statue in Richmond being removed from its pedestal on Monument Avenue. The stream, provided by VPM, will begin at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, and for the first hour the stream "will also feature relevant photos and footage related to the removal of the monument," according to a news release from the state agencies overseeing the project.

Former Illinois Sen. Adlai Stevenson III (D) has died at the age of 90.

J.B. Pritzker (D) praised the elder Stevenson's "passion for democracy" in a statement following news of his death while offering condolences to Stevenson's loved ones "on behalf of the Land of Lincoln."
