As I see it there are too many similarities to today. The Tzars were living it up while the people suffered. You had the hothead(Lara's boyfriend) who was a definite leader who took them on. Then when they took over the constant war/turmoil kept the Bolsheviks focused on their mission, like Covid and the border crisis/Afghanistan. Today the party in power can't kill and destroy like they did in the movie but the parents of Ashli Babbitt would disagree. Constant turmoil/distraction and our hope is in November, '22? I'm sure they have other plans.

While the number of Americans receiving some form of government assistance steadily expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people paying taxes fell to a modern low. In 2020, 61% of all Americans — an estimated 107 million U.S. citizens — paid no taxes, according to a new report from the Tax Policy Center.

A team of physicists at CU Boulder has solved the mystery behind a perplexing phenomenon in the nano realm: why some ultra-small heat sources cool down faster if you pack them closer together. The findings, which will publish this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), could one day help the tech industry design speedier electronic devices that overheat less. “Often heat is a challenging consideration in designing electronics. You build a device then discover that it’s heating up faster than desired,” said study co-author Joshua Knobloch, postdoctoral research associate at JILA, a joint research...

Lawsuits filed Thursday in Clark, Snohomish and Whatcom counties claim the auditors in each of those counties “flipped votes,” kept illegal records of voters by political party, defied public records laws and, in some cases, used unverified election equipment during the November 2020 election. The suits were filed by the Washington Election Integrity Coalition United with an additional 28 individuals — including congressional candidate Joe Kent, Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson and Yacolt Town Council member Michelle Dawson — signing on as plaintiffs. Kent is challenging Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, for her 3rd Congressional District seat. Attempts to...

No Midwestern cookout is complete without a delicious chili or dip simmering in a Crock-Pot. But when the device was first unveiled by a Kansas City company in 1971, it promised something more: freedom. Before the Crock-Pot was a household name, it was called the Naxon Beanery — and offered a more specific, bean-centric purpose. Patented by prolific inventor Irving Naxon, the Beanery was originally intended for a Jewish stew of meat and beans called cholent, which is slowly cooked on Fridays in preparation for the Sabbath. 090121_crockpot_patent_MM.png U.S. Patent 2,187,888 The bean cooker that eventually became the Crock-Pot was...

A CNN interviewer has prompted two teens who lost their father to COVID-19 to blame Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson for his death. Because of "misinformation." The claim made by Katie and Evan Lane about information their father, Patrick Lane, 45, obtained came in an interview with John Berman, a program host for the far-left network. Berman brought up, a second time, the issue of "misinformation" that purportedly led to Lane's death, according to a report at the Blaze. He addressed them with, "Katie, you said [there was misinformation] from one media source, in particular, he was getting misinformation –...

Epstein Bombshell: Feds Ordered to Name Ghislaine Maxwell's Alleged Co-Conspirators As Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial on sex trafficking nears, federal prosecutors have been ordered to reveal the two currently unnamed alleged co-conspirators who will testify at her trial. Maxwell, a British socialite, has been charged with procuring underage girls to be abused by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was facing sex trafficking charges at the time of his 2019 death in a Manhattan jail. Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to a sex trafficking conspiracy charge and an additional sex trafficking charge lodged against her. Maxwell, 59, has been in custody at...

A new study from Malave et al. suggests that in the brains of L-Dopa-treated Parkinson’s patients the lack of Shh signaling to cholinergic neurons results in L-Dopa induced dyskinesia. Credit: Santiago Uribe-Cano Researchers at The Graduate Center, CUNY, and the CUNY School of Medicine find that increased signaling of the protein could suppress debilitating involuntary movements that are a side effect of dopamine replacement therapy. Levodopa, or L-dopa, is considered the most effective treatment for Parkinson’s disease today. After a few years of treatment, however, almost all patients develop a debilitating side-effect called L-dopa induced dyskinesia, or LID, which causes...

The Department of Homeland Security is releasing some Haitians into the United States, despite repeated claims that they would be immediately expelled from the US, as the Biden administration scrambles to address the massive migrant encampment under the Del Rio International Bridge in Texas. ... At a news conference on Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a stern warning to potential migrants. "I want to make sure that it is known that this is not the way to come to the United States," Mayorkas said. "Trying to enter the United States illegally is not worth the tragedy, the money...

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron expects “clarifications and clear commitments” from U.S. President Joe Biden in a call to take place later on Wednesday to address a dispute over submarines, Macron’s office said. Macron’s office said the call, which was requested by Biden, is to discuss “the crisis of trust” that led to the unprecedented recall of the French ambassador to the United States last week. France wants an acknowledgment that talks should have been held between allies before the deal was made and that it is raising “a matter of trust about which we need to draw...

A majority of the Clark County Commission took a formal stand Tuesday against COVID-19 misinformation, declaring it a public health crisis amid concerns from other lawmakers that doing so might agitate a deep division within Southern Nevada. The 5-2 vote made the county one of few jurisdictions in the U.S. to label falsehoods related to COVID-19 — often rooted in an extreme mistrust of the government — a crisis that has prolonged the pandemic by undermining efforts to combat spread of the disease. “It’s important for our governing board to declare health misinformation as a public health crisis and commit...

Tuesday on CBS’s “The Late Show,” journalist Bob Woodward discussed his book, “Peril,” which details the transition from President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. According to Woodward, the “one courageous person” in Trump’s circle who did something was Gen. Mark Milley, who reportedly operated behind the president’s back and even told China he would warn them ahead of an attack.

Our wonderful and forthcoming government has been insistent to the point of oppression that we must all become vaccinated. We must do this to overcome COVID and “stop the spread”. Unfortunately there are problems with this. Recently I was talking with a work colleague. She was adamant that everyone should be vaccinated and that not getting the vaccine was unbelievably selfish. Among her claims was that unvaccinated covid patients are taking ICU beds from others who need them. This is false because covid ICUs are necessarily separate and typically set up away from regular ICU units. Nonetheless, this and other...

VIDEOThe public image of China's Xi Jinping is that of a ruthless dictator willing to stamp out any small freedoms his own people might have as well as threatening neighboring countries and the world at large. However, there is a silly side to him you might not have seen. Oh, and Xi is openly challenging his laptop lackey Cho Xiden to cross that same bridge.

DEL RIO, Texas (AP) — Many Haitian migrants camped in a small Texas border town are being released in the United States, two U.S. officials said, undercutting the Biden administration’s public statements that the thousands in the camp faced immediate expulsion. Haitians have been freed on a “very, very large scale” in recent days, according to one U.S. official who put the figure in the thousands. The official, who has direct knowledge of operations, was not authorized to discuss the matter Tuesday and spoke on condition of anonymity. Many have been released with notices to appear at an immigration office...

Former President Donald Trump filed a $100 million lawsuit against his estranged niece Mary Trump and The New York Times, alleging they engaged in "an insidious plot" to obtain his tax returns for the paper's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation of his finances. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Dutchess County, New York, says that New York Times reporters Susanne Craig, David Barstow, and Russ Buettner conducted "an extensive crusade to obtain Donald J. Trump's confidential tax records." "The defendants engaged in an insidious plot to obtain confidential and highly-sensitive records which they exploited for their own benefit and utilized as a means...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Racism, climate change and worsening divisions among nations and cultures topped the agenda Wednesday as leaders from China to Costa Rica, from Finland to Turkey to the United Nations itself outlined reasons why the world isn’t working as it should — and what must be done quickly to fix it. Said one country’s president: “The future is raising its voice at us.” Speaker after speaker at Tuesday’s opening of the nearly week-long meeting decried the inequalities and deep divisions that have prevented united global action to end the COVID-19 pandemic, which has claimed nearly 4.6 million...

Very interesting video from Yahoo biz. They admit "emerging science" shows "naturally immunity is as good and sometimes better than vaccination." Lawsuits are already in the courts for mandates which don't include opt outs for natural immunity. She also goes on to say legal experts say OSHA and the zhao biden regime will have a tough time getting mandates to stand up in court.
