An army of child welfare advocates are striking back at those who are making claims that requiring children to wear masks in school during a pandemic is a form of child abuse. A statement issued by three dozen child welfare organizations and advocates said they are “deeply troubled by a growing chorus of Pennsylvanians, including some elected officials, who are equating child abuse with a child wearing a face covering intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.” It goes on to say such claims “brazenly diminish the harsh reality of child abuse” and shows “callous disregard” for the lifelong physical,...

Capitol Police and local law enforcement leaders sought to project confidence on Friday ahead of a planned demonstration that authorities say has been accompanied by intelligence indicating the potential for violence. The so-called “Justice for J6” rally on Saturday is being held by supporters of people arrested for crimes related to the violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6. "We are planning for a safe event tomorrow. But there have been some threats of violence associated with the events for tomorrow. We have a strong plan in place to ensure that it remains peaceful and that if violence does...

...They could also further politicize the military. New revelations showing how Gen. Mark A. Milley, the nation’s top military officer, quietly maneuvered to check President Donald Trump reveal the lengths that top officials went to prevent potentially rash action, but the disclosures also threaten to thrust the military deeper into the partisan fray, former officials said.A series of dramatic inside-the-room accounts, including one in which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs promised to alert China’s top officer if Trump was preparing to launch an attack, provides new insight into military leaders’ response to the previous administration’s fraught final period.

There could not possibly be a clearer example of how much the American ruling class is drunk on power and of how little it cares for any and all obstacles standing in the way of its accumulation and exercise of that power. It also just so happens that, in this instance, those obstacles take the form of the quintessential defining feature of what usually separates a democracy or a republican form of governance from a dictatorship: ultimate civilian control of the military. In undermining that ultimate civilian control, Milley and his apologists are playing with fire. How bitterly ironic, too,...

1 Summary 2 mRNA COVID-19 Injection Made Delta Variant More Infectious 3 Immune Escape: How the Injections Could Make Variants Worse 4 Mass Vaccination Driving Vaccine-Resistant Mutants 5 Mu, Lambda Variants Showing Resistance 6 Is Natural Immunity Superior for Variants?A group of Japanese researchers released research (read below) showing that the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant “is poised to acquire complete resistance” to existing COVID-19 jabs. When four common mutations were introduced to the Delta variant, Pfizer’s mRNA injection enhanced its infectivity, causing it to become resistant. A Delta variant with three mutations has already emerged, which suggests it’s only a matter...

Vogue has released a fawning video of socialist firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her enormous glam squad revealing how they put together the now-infamous 'Tax the rich' dress for her controversial Met Gala appearance. AOC was coy about her controversial appearance at the ultra-elite Met Gala before DailyMail.com revealed that she and her boyfriend Riley Roberts had their $35,000-a-head tickets comped by the museum. However, this new video shows that Vogue and AOC were partners in the controversy. The magazine posted a 10-minute video late Thursday night documenting the Democratic congresswoman's preparations for fashion's big night out.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the Jan. 6th Capitol riot an 'assault from within' during remarks in London, where she compared the events to the Sept. 11th attacks days after the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Speaking at Chatham House, the London-based think tank Friday, Pelosi described the riot not as a failing of democracy but of former President Donald Trump. She said both events were 'assaults' she termed 'horrible,' crediting social media companies and Trump with fueling the Capitol riot on the day Congress met to count electoral college votes.

On Thursday we learned that the Durham probe, the investigation into the origins of the FBI's counter-intelligence probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election long touted by Donald Trump and his fellow conservatives as the investigation that would blow the lid off Democratic malfeasance, had got its man. Was it John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman? Or former FBI Director James Comey? Or Barack Obama? Um, no. It was instead a cybersecurity lawyer named Michael Sussmann, who was indicted for allegedly lying to the FBI's general counsel about who he was working for. (Sussmann said he wasn't working on...

The rate of inflation in the U.S. rose again in July and drove the increase over the past year to a 30-year high, pointing to new problems for businesses and consumers as the economy recovers from the pandemic. Consumers who were lucky enough to keep their jobs, are unlikely to have gotten a raise over the last year, so the inflation spike can essentially be seen as a wage decrease. Some people even calling this a “tax” on Americans, low income earners being the hardest hit. The Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index rose 0.4% in August, according to the federal...

San Francisco Mayor London Breed was seen partying and singing maskless in a nightclub with a Black Lives Matter co-founder, breaking her city's mask mandate.

The end-Permian mass extinction event of roughly 252 million years ago—the worst such event in earth's history—has been linked to vast volcanic emissions of greenhouse gases, a major temperature increase, and the loss of almost every species in the oceans and on land. Now, it seems that even the lakes and rivers were no safe havens. A recent study published by an international team of researchers including Professor and Head of the Department of Geosciences Tracy Frank and Professor Chris Fielding, both newly arrived at UConn, has identified a new cause of extinction during extreme warming events: toxic microbial blooms....

Brian Laundrie, through his lawyer, has still refused to speak with police about the possible whereabouts of his missing fiancé Gabby Petito, whose van he drove home to Florida from out West 10 days before she was reported missing. Laundrie’s attorney has only released a pair of statements that do not address the missing 22-year-old’s possible whereabouts or last known location. "I can see why criminal defense lawyer would say, you know what, you can't. You got to stay in the background: Don't talk," said Lara Yeretsia, a leading West Coast-based defense attorney. "but I can also see why it's...

TWENTY-FOURTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME LUKE 8:1–3 Friends, in today’s Gospel, we learn that some women accompanied Jesus and provided for him and the Twelve from their resources. Jesus invited women into full participation in the life of discipleship. All of those women sat in eager discipleship at the feet of Jesus. Now, don’t get me wrong! I’m not advocating the contemporary feminist agenda, which often runs rough-shod over the real differences that obtain between men and women. But I am urging you to see the radicality of Jesus’ call to discipleship, which cuts through so many of the social...

Amid an outcry about Federal Reserve officials owning and trading individual securities, an in-depth look by CNBC at officials’ financial disclosures found three who last year held assets of the same type the Fed itself was buying, including Chairman Jerome Powell.None of these holdings or transactions appeared to violate the Fed’s code of conduct. But they raise further questions about the Fed’s conflict of interest policies and the oversight of central bank officials.Powell held between $1.25 million and $2.5 million of municipal bonds in family trusts over which he is said to have no control. They were just a small...

A hostess at a well-known New York City restaurant was attacked just for asking to see a group's proof of COVID vaccination, a requirement to dine inside in the city. Exclusive cellphone video obtained by NBC New York shows the Thursday evening attack outside Carmine's Restaurant on the Upper West Side. Around 5 p.m., tempers flared and the hostess stand is nearly tipped over in the mayhem, with a waiter at one point helping carry someone away from the scene.

Over several interviews that summer of 1994, the 29 year old David Reimer told Dr. Diamond and Dr. Sigmundson everything. ...He wanted to forget it, not talk about it or help spawn a research paper about it. Besides, how embarrassing would it be if someone read the research paper Milton Diamond would write up and figured out his true identity? But Reimer's reluctance to speak vanished after Dr. Diamond detailed what John Money had been saying about his surgery and treatment for the past twenty plus years. Reimer listened in shock. Until that moment, he had no clue Money had...

Mark Milley reportedly suggested the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots that caused an estimated one billion dollars in damage were trivial, according to authors Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in the book Peril. “Mr. President, they are not burning it down,” Milley gave his opinion to former President Trump about the riots sparked by George Floyd’s death.
