'Okay, you’re going to require me now to get this? Obviously, the booster shots are right behind it. It’s a never-ending cycle. What else are you going to tell me to do?'A growing number of Americans are facing the imminent loss of their livelihoods, economic uncertainty, and in some cases financial ruin, not because of mass layoffs prompted by economic recession or the collapse of their industries, but simply because they refuse to get a COVID-19 shot.These workers occupy every corner of the American economy, from health care to entertainment, law enforcement to IT, food service to academia. What unites...

Depression can be a frighteningly relentless condition. Luckily, researchers around the world are constantly working on new treatment options, such as a newly designed brain implant for resistant depression. Altogether, up to a third of people with depression don't respond or become resistant to treatment. No medication or therapy type seems to help. For those with such treatment-resistant depression, the future can look especially bleak. This is what happened to Sarah, a 36-year-old woman who's had severe and treatment-resistant depression since she was a child. But a new proof-of-concept intervention has provided significant relief for Sarah, and could offer hope...

Project Veritas has released the fourth installment of its series on Covid-19 vaccines, this time focusing on what three Pfizer scientists told an undercover journalist about natural immunity versus the vaccines, the culture at the pharmaceutical company, and the testing currently taking place to determine if the vaccine is leading to heart attacks.Previously, Project Veritas spoke with a registered nurse for U.S. Health and Human Services who secretly recorded doctors and nurses' opinions about the vaccine based on what they're seeing in patients, as well as released an exposé featuring Johnson & Johnson scientists.In the Pfizer video, scientist Nick Karl...

A prominent Vatican official has stated that President Joe Biden should not be denied communion over his pro-choice views and public policy stances in support of legal abortion.While there's been much debate this year in the Roman Catholic Church over whether politicians who support legal access to abortion should be denied communion, the head of the Vatican's Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development told AXIOS on HBO that Biden's policy stance on abortion shouldn't prevent him from receiving the Eucharist."The Eucharist should not in any way become a weapon," Cardinal Peter Turkson said in an interview that aired on Sunday....

The U.S. government is secretly ordering Google to provide data on anyone typing in certain search terms, an accidentally unsealed court document shows. There are fears such “keyword warrants” threaten to implicate innocent Web users in serious crimes and are more common than previously thought. In 2019, federal investigators in Wisconsin were hunting men they believed had participated in the trafficking and sexual abuse of a minor. She had gone missing that year but had emerged claiming to have been kidnapped and sexually assaulted, according to a search warrant reviewed by Forbes. In an attempt to chase down the perpetrators,...

Weary of all the complaints against her draconian lockdowns because of a minuscule COVID death toll, New South Wales state Premier Gladys Berejiklian vowed that "life for these disobedient lowlifes can be made very difficult and I am the one who will make it so." "What these vaccine protesters fail to realize is that they are a tiny minority," Berejiklian said. "The employers will enforce my edict to fire everyone who refuses to be vaccinated. The Pubs, cafes, gyms and hairdressers will refuse service to anyone who is not vaccinated. Police will beat them if they go outside their homes....

There had to have been an audio component to the CGI too. I was two blocks away and heard the second plane go in. Maybe there were giant loudspeakers set up nearby broadcasting the sound of a jumbo jet flying perilously low overhead. If so, the plotters did a great job. The audio was really convincing. Anyone who’s stuck by Wood on his election trutherism despite his flirtations with QAnon and assorted insanity probably won’t cut him loose upon discovering that he’s a 9/11 Truther. But I offer the clip anyway in the spirit of hope. The crowd is quiet...

Attorney General Merrick Garland is using the power of the FBI to go after parents who are speaking out at school board meetings against critical race theory being taught to their kids in public schools. So the FBI hasn’t done anything about the post-Floyd riots explosion in crime which lead to an additional 4,901 homicides last year but parents organizing against anti-white CRT brainwashing need to be aggressively shut down. Yes, parents are a bigger threat to the Democrats than actual murderers. “In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school...

There is a public health crisis in America and it’s not the pandemic. The public health crisis in the U.S. is a lack of faith in the credibility of public health experts and officials whose double standards, misinformation, and selective adherence to certain “facts” have caused widespread confusion, resentment, and fright in millions of people.This should have been a time for the CDC, the NIH, and especially, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to step up and shine. But politics and a spectacularly inept public outreach program that should have calmed fears and explained what was...

According to a report from the Washington Examiner, “the number of Haitian migrants headed to the U.S. could be four times the size of the group that made it across in Del Rio last month, leading to chaos as 15,000 people camped out under an international bridge waiting to be taken into federal custody.” State and local enforcement are not allowed to arrest illegal aliens for immigration crimes, but they can arrest them for trespassing. Governor Greg Abott has said that he has readied the Texas National Guard to do just that.

Advocates say voter ID laws could disproportionately impact minorities.As voters across Texas submitted voter registration applications on Monday, Oct. 4, ahead of the Nov. 2 statewide election, 82-year-old Elmira Hicks was left out.The Oakwood, Texas, native says she hasn't been able to renew her driver's license for more than a year because she has been unable to present the required birth certificate needed to verify her identity.In the Lone Star State, election laws require voters to present a driver's license, passport, military identification card, citizenship certificate, state election identification certificate or a personal identification card to cast a ballot or...

Three Pfizer scientists were captured on camera making a stunning admission that they work for an ‘evil corporation’ that is more concerned about making money by pushing the vaccine than the actual well being of the public. The scientists revealed that many people may be better off getting Covid than getting vaccinated, that natural antibodies developed in the course of a Covid-19 infection may indeed be superior to vaccine-manufactured antibodies. “When somebody is naturally immune — like they got COVID — they probably have more antibodies against the virus…When you actually get the virus, you’re going to start producing antibodies...

Once I met a man who is a pastor in China under a harsh Communist regime. His church is underground, and he’s been put in jail for being a believer. In that country, almost 90 percent of the time when you get put in jail, you never come home. That’s how dangerous it is. As the Chairman of the “SaveThePersecutedChristians.org” in America, I might have more people download my sermons and I might have more opportunities to preach in different churches, but that man far outweighs anything I’ve ever had in terms of his knowledge, revelation and relationship with God...

Hello FRiends, So…many of you know I’m in CT. I’ve been homeless with my Jack Russell since January. I spent some time in Florida but now I’m back. I had some medical setbacks so I’m pretty much starting again. I can’t find a place to live, and we’re going to be out on the street for the winter, which isn’t going to be good. Can anyone steer me toward a rental, pretty much anywhere in the country? I’m hoping for CT or FL, but I’m pretty desperate. Feel free to FReepmail me as well. Thanks everyone.

Debunking the 1619 Projectby Mary GrabarRegnery History (2021)Mary Grabar has authored a serious, mature book that should be in every American household and classroom. Its message is so critical to understand that it might usefully serve as required reading in a test and qualification for American citizenship. There were a couple sections I found demandingly granular, but they stem from her determination to get the story re-assembled factually, as much historical detail was falsified or ignored by the 1619 project members.Ms. Grabar “debunks,” either directly or by implication, at least four primary objects:the asserted significance of the date 1619;the asserted...

Japan is back in the business of operating a fixed-wing aircraft carrier, with the first embarkation of short takeoff and vertical-landing F-35B stealth jets from the U.S. Marine Corps on the modified helicopter carrier Izumo. It is the first instance of the country operating fixed-wing aircraft from ships since the end of World War II. The trials are set to kickstart a new era for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, or JMSDF, which has long harbored ambitions to adapt its two 24,000-ton Izumo class helicopter carriers for fixed-wing operations. The Japanese Ministry of Defense announced today that the Marine Corps...

“If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth” (1 John 1:6). Those who deny the reality of their sin affirm the unreality of their salvation. Ours is a society that rejects the concept of individual responsibility. People blame society, their parents, their genes—anything but their own actions and choices—for their problems. The biblical teaching that all people are responsible for breaking God’s holy law is scoffed at as primitive, unsophisticated, and harmful to a healthy self-esteem. Even some who claim to be Christians refuse to...

YouTube Originals on Tuesday announced "Get Curious with Vice President Harris," a special that aims to get children more interested in space. The special, which debuts Thursday at 9 a.m. Eastern, will have children visit the Naval Observatory, where the vice president lives, to meet with her and participate in a scavenger hunt with clues given out by NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough. "My mom was a scientist. She would take us to the lab with her on the weekends and after school because she had to work long hours," Harris, who is also head of the National Space Council, tells...

While the rest of the country comes to its senses and realizes that "Jan. 6" was a way overblown example of fake news intended to crush dissent from the vantage point of wokedom, here comes The New York Times to assert that "Jan. 6 Was Worse Than We Knew." Methinks the dissembling Times is desperately employing a smokescreen, the better to divert attention from the disaster the Biden presidency has proven to be, from the unconditional surrender to the Taliban to Biden's failure, thus far, to rally the country to the banner of his "spend until economic ruination" paralyzes the...
