Billionaire Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, hinted Monday that he might move his company’s headquarters from Chicago, saying the crime makes the city more akin to a war-torn country. “It’s becoming ever more difficult to have this as our global headquarters, a city which has so much violence,” Griffin said. “I mean Chicago is like Afghanistan, on a good day, and that’s a problem.” Griffin said he personally saw “25 bullet shots in the glass window of the retail space” in the building he lives in, adding that someone “tried to carjack the security detail”...

Men continue to listen to the lying politicians, the useful idiots in the Mockingbird media and the corrupt CDC and WHO instead of trusting in the living and true God. The latest example of someone who willingly goes along with the narrative, to his own destruction I might add, is a 33-year-old man from New York who mocked “anti-vaxxers” by calling them “idiots” and “morons.” After getting “fully vaccinated,” he’s now dead inside of 3 months.The COVID Blog reports:A 33-year-old New York husband and apparent dog lover is dead in another case of death after virtue signaling.Mr. Jordan Hayes received...

The United Kingdom and governments throughout the world will try to brand climate change as a public health issue in order to expand their powers, as they did during the Chinese coronavirus crisis, Baroness Claire Fox warned. Speaking with Breitbart London during the Reform UK party conference in Manchester, Claire Fox, Baroness Fox of Buckley said that while she is the “opposite of a conspiratorial thinker”, she believes that governments will try to retain the powers they have acquired during the pandemic by raising fears over a range of other issues, including climate change.

Dr. Yadav's team narrowed 15 leading compound candidates...

Bottom line: America is over COVID. It will remain endemic for decades, tragically killing some of us each year, just as does the flu. But it’s time to get back to normalcy. Yet Fauci denies the glaring light at the end of the tunnel, as if he wants the nation in paralysis forever. His instinct is all stick, no carrot; all fear, no hope. Add in the way he regularly does a complete 180 on his advice in a single day while refusing to admit it, and you have a top White House doctor who has lost far too many...

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller is in a military jail for denouncing the US over its Afghanistan pullout. Pro-Trump entities have shared their support for Scheller, including by raising over $2 million.

No, Ana Navarro, the Principle of Separation of Church and State Does Not Justify AbortionAna Navarro, a co-host of ‘The View,’ recently opined that she would not personally decide to kill her unborn child by abortion because of her Catholic upbringing, but she also believes the principle of separation of church and state prohibits her from imposing that view on others. Navarro’s is an often repeated but nonsensical argument that should be dispensed with once and for all—especially coming from a self-proclaimed Catholic. Her comment sadly reveals she understands neither Catholic teaching on the intrinsic evil of abortion nor the...
