COVID-panicked officials around the world have run wild setting vaccination requirements for people to live their lives.In the United States, the newest agenda point has been to demand people show proof of vaccinations in order to keep their jobs, a fight that's already moved into the courts in a number of jurisdictions.Also at issue are medical procedures that some hospital systems simply refuse to provide to patients if they are not vaccinated.But one Canadian municipality is leaving such requirements in the dust: It is requiring proof of vaccination in order to get a marriage license.It is Oakville, Ontario, that demands...

Today's front page features an interesting story about the Detroit Lions hurting so badly for talent that they signed the equipment manager. Steve Belichick may have been handing out towels in October but back in January he scored the winning touchdown for Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio) as they defeated Arizona State University in the 1941 Sun Bowl. His coach was Bill Edwards, who is now the Lions’ skipper. Belichick reportedly told Edwards that he could do better than the guys on the Lions roster and Edwards took him up on it. In six...

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez (R) says he is moving forward with a proposal to pay city workers in bitcoin. During an interview on Bloomberg Technology on Tuesday, Suarez said the city is will request a proposal this month to allow employees to get paid in bitcoin, and even allow residents to pay fees and even taxes in bitcoin if the county allows. Suarez said it was a “major priority” for him as he wants to differentiate the city as a “crypto capital of the United States or of the world.”

A Memo to Secretary of Homeland Gestapo Merrick Garland: Sir, Your party and the teachers’ unions for which it stands have decided that those who protest too loudly at school committee meetings are domestic terrorists, should be investigated by the FBI under the Patriot Act and, perhaps, confined to Gitmo for the duration of the culture war. After the January 6 fracas at the Capitol, Democrats determined that those who question the integrity of the last election are violent insurrectionists. Can one be both – say, a terrorist insurrectionist? At any rate, the definition of domestic terrorist is expanding....

A video montage shows how health officials, pharmaceutical companies and media declared the coronavirus shots to be 100% effective against symptomatic COVID-19 at the launch of the vaccines then gradually lowered their estimations to as low as 20% after only six months. White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci is seen in a media interview touting the vaccines as "virtually 100% efficacious" and stating in congressional testimony that the "real world effectiveness is even more impressive than the results of the clinical trial." The video, posted by a Twitter user, was highlighted by Grabien.com. Moderna, a headline said, boasted its...

History and common sense tell us that for a nation to survive, it must secure and control critical natural resources. In recent decades, Western nations have increasingly ignored this imperative in order to pursue dubious environmental goals dressed up as science, but more often the consequence of cultural ideals, political agendas, or profitable industries supported by government subsidies. The current rise in the costs of energy in the U.S. and Europe is a flashing red light warning us that irresponsible energy policies are threatening the global economy, with dangerous consequences for our freedom, security, and way of life. History provides...

(LifeSiteNews) — Facing growing skepticism from his voter base for promoting experimental COVID-19 vaccines developed through his much-touted “Operation Warp Speed,” former President Donald Trump spoke out against totalitarian vaccine mandates, saying Americans shouldn’t be “forced” to get the shots and that those who have natural immunity “don’t need the vaccine.”“People have to have their freedoms,” Trump told FOX News host Sean Hannity during an interview Thursday night. “Why are they forcing people to take the vaccine?”Characteristically referring to COVID-19 as “the Wuhan virus” and “the China virus,” quipping “we’ve got plenty of names,” Trump explained that anyone who has...

Politicians across the world routinely promise unprecedented reductions of carbon emissions but make little mention of the cost, often covering with vivid projections of green jobs. Yet the economic damage these policies would do is much greater than what most voters would tolerate, while the climate benefits are smaller than many would imagine. The annual cost of the promises to which President Obama signed on under the Paris climate agreement would have hit roughly $50 billion in 2030, or about $140 per person. Many studies show Americans are willing to pay a couple of hundred dollars a year to remedy...

Multiculturalism is meeting reality once again as Afghan refugees are making their presence known in the countries that welcomed them, and the fun is just beginning. One place that has experienced the richness and vibrance of diversity is Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England, which is a popular vacation spot. It’s easy to see why: It’s on the Yorkshire Coast in a beautiful area, and when its architecturally stunning Grand Hotel was built in 1867, it was the largest hotel in Europe. The hotel still boasts numerous attractions. It is described on Tripadvisor as “one of the town’s landmark features and...

With instability and political unrest roiling the world stage, it is more important than ever for America to have solid allies in the Middle East, a dangerous region historically rife with conflict and dysfunction. Americans know and understand almost innately that Israel's values are a mirror of our own: Israel champions democracy and the rule of law, has a strong judiciary and demonstrates freedom of religion and the press. However, our recent hurried withdrawal from Afghanistan and the ensuing chaos illustrates how quickly fortunes can change in this volatile region. The resulting pandemonium underscores how much we need a steady...

Big Tech company accused of 'leveraging its market power to silence its critics' Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado sent a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation to Google chief executive Sundar Pichai on Wednesday, asking for an explanation as to why YouTube suspended the account of the American Principles Project, a conservative advocacy group. YouTube removed one of the American Principles Project’s (APP) accounts late Monday over “repeated violations” of the platform’s community guidelines, later reinstating it but deleting several of the group’s videos. Google did not provide the APP with an explanation at the time as...

<p>The Transportation Security Administration says 4-in-10 members of its workforce, including screeners, remain unvaccinated against COVID-19 as its deadline looms.</p><p>The deadline for civilian federal government workers to be fully vaccinated is Nov. 22 — the Monday before Thanksgiving, one of the busiest travel times of the year.</p>

After a crowd of disruptive protesters led to the postponement of an Executive Council meeting in New Hampshire in late September, Governor Chris Sununu and councilors returned to the table on Wednesday to discuss the focus of the outbursts: whether to approve vaccination contracts that included millions in federal funding. But in a scene emblematic of a larger debate over vaccine mandates brewing across the country — from vitriolic attacks against state and health officials to disorderly conduct at local school and town meetings — an unruly group again made an appearance, and the council rejected the funding in a...

The Democrats are utterly panicking as the Trump-led Republican Party flips a blue seat and wins another special election in Iowa. This win was just par for the course in the Trump-GOP dominating a number of special elections over the last few months.

The House select committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol issued a subpoena Wednesday to a former Justice Department official who allegedly aided former President Donald Trump in his bid to overturn last year’s election results citing voting fraud. In a letter to Jeffrey Clark, a former assistant attorney general in the DOJ’s Civil Division, Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote that there was “credible evidence that you attempted to involve the Department of Justice in efforts to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power

Remember when Obama brayed about “fundamentally transforming America” and the Left cheered, as though he was the country’s savior? Inspired by the agitprop of Saul Alinsky, packaged for the millennial generationAnd transform he did: LA, San Francisco, Ferguson, Baltimore…One need look no further than BLM and the “White Supremacy” movement to see just how successful he was at this transformation. But as Obama himself told us, ‘he didn’t do that on his own, somebody else helped him do that.’ One of those “somebodies” was Bill Ayers, aka “just some guy in the neighborhood” who served as one of the behind-the-curtain...

Gold. Credit: Robert von Bonsdorff/Aalto University Study shows new chloride-based process recovers 84% of gold compared to the 64% recovered with traditional methods. Gold is one of the world’s most popular metals. Malleable, conductive and non-corrosive, it’s used in jewelry, electronics, and even space exploration. But traditional gold production typically involves a famous toxin, cyanide, which has been banned for industrial use in several countries. The wait for a scalable non-toxic alternative may now be over as a research team from Aalto University in Finland has successfully replaced cyanide in a key part of gold extraction from ore. The results...
