Joy Behar told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that it is “very patriotic” that President George W. Bush spoke out against his own party when comparing the January 6 Capitol protesters to the Islamic terrorists that attacked America on Sept. 11, 2001. During his speech at the 9/11 memorial service for Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, Bush said, “There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. Then there is disdainful pluralism in their disdain for human life. In their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit, and...

Marion Gruber, director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review, and her deputy director, Phil Krause, set to leave in October and November, published a viewpoint in The Lancet on Monday along...

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe laid out the top threats to U.S. national security. According to Ratcliffe, President Joe Biden was the greatest short-term national security threat given he was “ignoring actual intelligence.” Partial transcript as follows: First on Afghanistan, it’s the most profound loss for the United States in our lifetime. This most recent, most painful, colossal, epic failure in Afghanistan has literally breathed life into the radical Islamic terrorist movement, not just in Afghanistan, but around the world. I wrote an article as the Director of National Intelligence saying that China was our number one national...

Palestinian media identified him as 17-year-old Basil Khaled Shawamreh from the area surrounding the West Bank city of Hebron.

Here's a sample: For more, check out the original Facebook thread before it goes...

PreambleA warning is appropriate. Reading this article with a large amount of medical science information will likely increase your anxiety and fear. The views of many distinguished medical experts paint a bleak view of COVID vaccines. The likely reaction to the science is very different than the fear constantly propagated by the evil Dr. Fauci and his supporters. Here is the difference: They want you to fear the COVID virus and to accept vaccination, masking, lockdowns, school closings and other forms of medical tyranny. With extensive data and expert assessments this manifesto defines a vaccine dystopia. It is a terrible...

As people remain unvaccinated — and 55% of still unvaccinated adults have said they would be very unlikely to get the vaccine, even if it were available at their doctor's office, according to an Axios-Ipsos poll — the coronavirus is given an opportunity to continue to spread and mutate, leading to strains like the delta variant. So far, most variants of concern have come from places outside of the United States — the delta originated in India, the alpha in the United Kingdom, the beta in South Africa, mu in Colombia and the gamma is from Brazil. Lambda is from...

A six-year-old child was slashed in the throat by a Somali asylum seeker in Rimini, Italy, with four other adult women being stabbed during the rampage.

Several Chicago aldermen are calling for the city to mandate proof of vaccination for people visiting public indoor settings, a move already adopted in other cities like New York. The aldermen said they were writing in support of Chicago requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination “for persons visiting public indoor settings like restaurants, bars, movie theaters, gyms and concert halls,” according to a copy of the letter sent Thursday. New York City, New Orleans, San Francisco and Puerto Rico have issued such requirements, they noted.

During an interview with the Skimm This podcast that will air this coming Thursday, Fauci said that people hoping to travel with “other people” should be vaccinated. “I would support that if you want to get on a plane and travel with other people that you should be vaccinated,” Fauci said. In the same interview, Fauci also endorsed vaccine mandates for children, comparing the coronavirus with polio and measles. “When you hear us say should you mandate vaccination for children to be able to attend school, some people say, ‘Oh, my goodness. That would be terrible to do that.’ But...

Given that our first direct detections confirming the existence of black holes only took place in this century, humanity can be forgiven for not knowing a few things about these mysterious cosmic objects. We don't even know everything we don't know – a fact that's been made evident in a new discovery. While running equations for quantum gravity corrections for the entropy of a black hole, a pair of physicists found that black holes exert pressure on the space around them. Not much pressure, to be sure – but it's a finding that's fascinatingly consistent with Stephen Hawking's prediction that...

Answering the Call We recently celebrated our thirty-ninth wedding anniversary and we decided to celebrate it by taking a trip to the rocky mountains. When I saw the rugged grandeur of huge rocks from tectonic plates that had pushed up to form these majestic mountains I was in awe of the God of Creation. Being flat-landers from the mid-west, we camped up in the higher elevations initially, but we started to get altitude sickness so we had to go down to lower altitudes. We were looking for a campground that had a swimming pool and we found one that was...

The Federal Election Commission has dismissed Republican accusations that Twitter violated election laws in October by blocking people from posting links to an unsubstantiated New York Post article about Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s son Hunter Biden, in a decision that is likely to set a precedent for future cases involving social media sites and federal campaigns. The F.E.C. determined that Twitter’s actions regarding the Hunter Biden article had been undertaken for a valid commercial reason, not a political purpose, and were thus allowable, according to a document outlining the decision obtained by The New York Times. The commission’s ruling, which...

Dr. Anthony Fauci has had himself a year (or two).As 2020 began, he was a senior federal bureaucrat best-known for helping defang the AIDS crisis. A week before, he had turned 79, well past the standard retirement age for government employees - though he controlled a multi-billion research budget and no one was publicly suggesting he step down. The novel coronavirus changed everything for him.[SNIP]To be clear, I’m not writing today about the substance of the choices we and Fauci face.Nor will I examine the evidence that weeks after Sars-Cov-2 emerged, Fauci appeared worried the virus had leaked from a...

Many of the people who received either one or two shots are beginning to wake up. They were told by the “experts” that they just needed to get the shot and things would get back to normal. Things are far from normal, and now they are being told that they will likely need to get multiple booster shots and even a pill to treat Covid-19. Thankfully, many of them are starting to take a stand and fight back. On September 10th it was reported that a New York hospital is going to pause baby deliveries after a “spate of resignations”...
