More than 16,000 migrants who tested positive for COVID-19 while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody were released into the United States, according to an agency law enforcement source. The Biden administration did not mandate any of the migrants to be vaccinated before their release. The figures only include those migrants who were tested by ICE. Nearly 12,000 of the migrants who tested positive for COVID-19 and were released into the U.S. were between 18 and 40 years of age, more than 11,800 were male, nearly 1,300 were under the age of ten, and more than 6,000 were between 20...

Explanation: Most galaxies have a single nucleus -- does this galaxy have four? The strange answer leads astronomers to conclude that the nucleus of the surrounding galaxy is not even visible in this image. The central cloverleaf is rather light emitted from a background quasar. The gravitational field of the visible foreground galaxy breaks light from this distant quasar into four distinct images. The quasar must be properly aligned behind the center of a massive galaxy for a mirage like this to be evident. The general effect is known as gravitational lensing, and this specific case is known as the...

The co-hosts of "The Five" blasted President Biden Thursday for his administration's failures which even the liberal mainstream media have begun to recognize. As Biden's poll numbers drop amid inflation and supply chain shortages, at least one left-wing voice has turned on his own. "The honeymoon is over," political commentator Van Jones declared Tuesday on CNN. "This honeymoon was over faster than Ilhan Omar and her brother," "The Five" co-host Greg Gutfeld retorted. "The real question for people like Van Jones is, ‘What did you expect?’," co-host Katie Pavlich said. She called Biden a "lame-duck president," citing his inability to...

Dr. Peter Navarro is warning the world about stagflation on the horizon as a result of insane Biden policies. He was on Steve Bannon’s War Room to discuss the scenario. Dr. Navarro was on with Newsmax as well: If it was just inflation affecting the United States, that would be “manageable,” but instead a “stagflation” problem like the one that hit the nation in the 1970s is occurring under President Joe Biden, former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro told Newsmax on Saturday. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is “printing money,” Navarro told “The Count.” “That’s driving us to what...

Left-wing billionaire George Soros is throwing at least a million dollars behind an effort to stop the hiring of hundreds of new police officers in Austin, Texas, according to campaign finance documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The Hungarian-born political activist gave $500,000 through the Soros-backed Open Society Policy Center to a political action committee in opposition to a ballot initiative that forces the city to employ two police officers per 1,000 residents. Soros’s donation, made on Oct. 12, is his second of the month and comes as Austin experiences a decades-high spike in violent crime. The city has...

'Yes, people do it,' writes Brian Fallon, former spokesman for Chuck Schumer, Eric Holder, and Hillary Clinton Political journalists let sources review their stories prior to publication, a senior Democratic spokesman confirmed on Wednesday. "[Whispers] yes, people do it," Brian Fallon wrote on Twitter, the popular social networking website. Fallon has served as public relations guru for prominent Democrats including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), former attorney general Eric Holder, and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Fallon was responding to the journalistic controversy surrounding ESPN's Adam Schefter. The reporter was being criticized after emails revealed Schefter had let...

"Reports on how mandates could weaken military readiness should concern every American, especially our commander-in-chief." Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) admitted that there is no point in COVID-19 vaccine mandates on Sunday morning. “The mandates are pointless,” Johnson told host Maria Bartiromo, according to The Gateway Pundit. “Now that we know that fully vaccinated individuals are getting infected, they can transmit the disease. Unfortunately, they are being hospitalized. They’re getting seriously ill. They’re dying. There’s no point to the mandate whatsoever. ” Johnson went on to talk about the dangers of the vaccines, saying, “They’re completely ignoring the vaccine injuries. And...

During a July 20 Economic Estimating Conference, state economists expressed optimism that tourism numbers would rebound more swiftly once COVID-19 border restrictions were lifted and international travelers, especially Canadians, could visit Florida. That decision was expected momentarily from the White House at the time, but the surging delta variant derailed reopening plans until this week. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it will reopen the nation’s land borders to “nonessential travel” by the fully vaccinated beginning Nov. 1, ending a 19-month pandemic-induced freeze. While the Nov. 1 U.S.-Canada border reopening will enhance Canadian tourism in Florida,...

20 lb. Feist was out in a hayfield rooting around and hunting for about an hour. When I let her inside she was shaking, unsure walking (stumbling around) and had bugged out eyes and dilated pupils. She had a couple of spasms where she got up and tried to run only to bang into the couch. She peed, pooped and puked. The puke look like it had some kind of small animal guts in it, most likely a mole, vole or mouse. This is the 2nd time this has happened in the past 3 weeks after she has spent a...

Mrs. Chandler received a panicky email from her conspiracy-minded friend. Her friend said that Fox News told her we are going to experience devastating supermarket shortages lasting for two years. I suspect that this could be Fox News creating fear to attract viewers. I am now being pressured to purchase a crapload of non-perishables.

Service members from all five branches of the U.S. military, federal employees, and federal civilian contractors have joined in a class-action (Pentagon Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Vaccine Mandates on Military, Federal Employees and Contractors)The 24 plaintiffs “face a deadline under the Federal COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate to receive a COVID-19 vaccine that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs, and have been refused any religious exemption or accommodation,” according to Liberty Counsel, the Christian legal firm that filed the lawsuit.

A Russian actress and her director-cameraman, wrapping up a 12-day movie shoot aboard the International Space Station, returned to Earth Sunday and promptly filmed a few additional scenes that will be part of the film's conclusion. With cameras rolling, actress Julia Peresild, playing the role of a surgeon sent to the station to treat a critically ill cosmonaut, was pulled from the Soyuz descent module and carried to a nearby recliner where she pretended to be just back from her make-believe mission. Soyuz commander Oleg Novitskiy, who was wrapping up a 191-day stay in space, played the patient during shooting...

For Americans watching the shocking re-Nazification of Germany - where once again the ability to even buy food depends on a person's physiological/medical status - it may be tempting to downplay the re-emergence of a nasty German political virus and scoff that, "it can't happen here!" But it is happening here. The Biden Administration is sinking under the weight of its feeble figurehead, who is clearly living in a world of his own creation rather than living on planet reality. As Biden's approval ratings plummet to near-historic depths, the people who run his administration - some say it's really led...

No way in hell you are going to put a wok on an electric stove.”That was Steven Lee, a San Francisco official and restaurant investor, as quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle last year after the city’s Board of Supervisors voted to outlaw natural gas in new buildings.Nevertheless, they persisted. Per the Sierra Club, the quickening campaign to phase out natural gas recently notched its 50th city-level win in California alone. (Take a bow, Encinitas!) No. 50, as with some others, has “situational exemptions” for restaurants and the like, but the overall push to compel an all-electric design for homes...

Now, a new program in Washington state, where Mohamed lives, could soon put him back to work. In May, Washington governor Jay Inslee signed a law granting internationally-trained medical graduates the opportunity to obtain two-year medical licenses to work as doctors, with the possibility of renewal. Participants can forgo residencies—one of the most arduous steps in becoming a doctor—but must meet certain other requirements, including English proficiency, passing all three steps of the USMLE, and working under the supervision of a fully-licensed doctor.

Reader comment on item: How the West Could Lose in response to reader comment: hitler was very fond of islam _____ Translated excerpts from Amir in Israel on Sep 20, 2013, replying to a post by a secularist: ______ Hitler was very far from being a devout Christian and his use did not show strong faith in Christianity but opportunism in his name as he knew he could not completely eradicate the deeply rooted Christianity and he tried to "domesticate" it so that the Christian establishment would not interfere and the Vatican would not interfere. Hitler had some statements that...

A group of hippos - an unwanted legacy following the death of notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar - are being sterilised. Escobar, who was shot dead by police in 1993, illegally imported exotic animals, including a male and a female hippo - dubbed the "cocaine hippos". Since then, a growing population has been taking over the countryside near his former ranch, Hacienda Nápoles. The Colombian government has so far sterilised 24 of more than 80 animals. They have been treated with a chemical that will make them infertile. Colombian environmentalists say the hippos, believed to be the biggest herd...

Joe Biden is officially the oldest man to ever be president, as he hits 79 in November, and the White House does not appear to be fond of answering certain questions about him. For example, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki recently danced around answering questions about his upcoming physical examination and his health status. As her daily press briefing wrapped on Thursday Brian Karem, who used to be the senior White House correspondent for Playboy magazine, shouted a question at Psaki. Q Hey Jen, will he take a physical anytime soon and report it to the American public? MS....

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head and chief White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that fully vaccinated Americans could enjoy Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings with family. Anchor Martha Raddatz said, “Dr. Fauci, we know the best way to keep safe is to be vaccinated. But what are your guidelines for the upcoming holidays? Will you be giving out Halloween candy? What do we do with Thanksgiving and Christmas and other holidays?” Fauci said, “I believe strongly that particularly in the vaccinated people if you are vaccinated, and your family members...
