Dr. Fauci is a high priest of the pandemic cult, and his Reign of Terror must come to an endIt’s time to pressure congress to begin a process of investigation that leads to the removal of the man who has used our tax dollars to torture helpless babies and dogs.(LifeSiteNews) – As Dr. Anthony Fauci was grilled by Sen. Rand Paul about knowledge of his agency’s involvement in “gain of function research” with coronaviruses in communist China labs, we witnessed a revealing manifestation of the quintessential D.C. swamp creature. A many-year veteran of the bureaucratic swamp, and a darling of...

Washington really does not get it. The Washington Elites hatched a plan, the so so-called Build Back Better reconciliation measure, to spend $3.5 trillion of borrowed American cash and tax dollars on expanding government. They then cut down the plan by a trillion, as if that will make Americans feel better, and have been marketing it as the solution to all our nation’s problems. They have also included one provision that will cause chaos in the research, development, manufacturing, and sale of prescription drugs through Medicare. The fact is that this Biden plan will not make one Americans life any...

Students in Loudoun County, Virginia, are planning a walkout in protest of recent sexual assault cases at the public school system and to show solidarity with victims of such abuses. "Students who choose to participate will not be penalized for their participation; however, we do ask that students who participate do so peacefully, without signage, and in accordance with the Students Rights and Responsibilities we all reviewed and signed at the beginning of the year," said Michelle Luttrell, the principal at Loudoun County High School, according to WUSA. A judge found a boy guilty on Monday of sexually assaulting a...

Everyone knows there are good times and bad times, but how did things get this way? It’s a mystery that has kept the greatest minds scratching their heads since the beginning of time. Time flies, marches on, and sometimes just stands still. You can buy time, be on borrowed time, or run out of time, but there’s a first time for everything, and the third time’s the charm. As Ancient laws may be revered; brand new laws can only aspire to reverence. An infant can be loved and cherished, even wondered at, but only with the ripeness of years can...

On Monday’s broadcast of “Fox News Primetime,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) stated, “Joe Biden’s the most incompetent president in my lifetime” and that the administration doesn’t actually know how many Americans are left behind in Afghanistan. Graham said, “How did we get here? Joe Biden’s the most incompetent president in my lifetime. He had a plan that did not work. He turned down sound military advice. They don’t know if there [are] 350 Americans left behind or 700. We do know there are thousands of Afghans who fought along our side that have been left behind. But here’s what we...

Who will win in Virginia? Any pollster worth their crosstabs should tell you they don’t know. It’s too close. All of the latest polls are tied or within the margin of error. It shouldn’t be that way, which is why Youngkin has the edge. He shouldn’t be this close. For a GOP candidate with the former president’s endorsement — and McAuliffe’s constant reminder of it — we’re likely missing some of the Trump effect in our polling. This is the non-response bias that keeps me up at night as a pollster — the notion that those who answer our questions,...

U.S. researchers – including those advising the federal government on COVID-19 vaccination policy and those funded by the National Institutes of Health – attended a Chinese Communist Party virology conference featuring scientists from China’s military and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Shi pictured on Bottom Left. Shi, whose controversial work focuses on the manipulation of bat coronaviruses for human infection, delivered an opening keynote address at the conference on “the impact of 2019 new coronavirus mutation on virus pathogenicity and immune escape.” Seven additional speakers at the conference were from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, believed by many to be...

Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) reacted to the latest caravan of migrants heading to the U.S-Mexico border during the ongoing border crisis. After highlighting on FNC’s “Fox & Friends” that President Joe Biden has yet to visit the border to see the problem firsthand, McCarthy said the inaction is “making every city in America a border city.” The Republican from California urged Biden to meet with him and his colleagues to solve the crisis.

Novel obesity treatments such as modulation of the gut microbiome and gene therapy are underutilized and could help fight the obesity epidemic, according to a new manuscript published in the Endocrine Society’s journal, Endocrine Reviews. Nearly half of the adults and 20 percent of children in the United States have obesity, yet doctors are under prescribing effective weight loss medications and many patients are not receiving the treatment they need. The weight stigma that exists in healthcare settings makes people with obesity hesitant to seek care until comorbidities develop and reach a dangerous stage. Lack of insurance coverage and cost...

NOTE: The following is a statement from President Trump. Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we...

Source: Townhall Media/Julio Rosas"They're Coming to America" - Neil Diamond The numbers are staggering. Should we call them invaders instead of migrants, since that word better describes the hordes of humanity coming across what used to be our southern border, a border that has been effectively erased? In March, the COVID positivity rate for those breaching our border was about 6 percent. Many of these people cannot speak English and have few job skills other than manual labor. Recently, a convicted sex offender was one of 35 migrants arrested in Texas for entering the country illegally. An Afghan evacuee has...

The fall of new coronavirus infections gave a boost to consumer confidence in October but inflation fears are still rising, the Conference Board said Tuesday. “While short-term inflation concerns rose to a 13-year high, the impact on confidence was muted. The proportion of consumers planning to purchase homes, automobiles, and major appliances all increased in October—a sign that consumer spending will continue to support economic growth through the final months of 2021,” said Lynn Franco, the senior director of economic indicators at the Conference Board.

One of the most famous lines in the U.S. Declaration of Independence was in the preamble. I’m a Canadian and so are most viewers of this show, but I know you know it: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That last part — the pursuit of Happiness. That’s a positive right — you’re allowed to go out there and find your own path to pursue happiness. That’s incredible, actually. Imagine putting...

Sixty Border Patrol agents were found to have committed misconduct by posting “explicit and violent messages” mocking migrants and threatening lawmakers on Facebook — but only two were actually fired, investigators said Monday. A sweeping investigation by the House Oversight and Reform Committee found that the majority of agents had their punishments significantly reduced after it emerged that they’d posted photos and comments in a closed Facebook group back in 2019. Despite an internal Customs and Border Patrol Discipline Review Board recommending that 24 of the 60 agents be fired, only two were ultimately terminated, according to the report.

Indeed, they need to resolve one outstanding item before Crew-3 can lift off — a slight redesign of Crew Dragon's toilet system. That tweak was prompted by an issue experienced on SpaceX's Inspiration4 mission, which sent four private citizens on a three-day trip to orbit last month. After that capsule, named Resilience, returned home, inspections revealed that a tube hooked up to a toilet storage tank had popped loose during flight. This "allowed urine to not go into the storage tank but, essentially, to go into the fan system," Bill Gerstenmaier, vice president of build and flight reliability at SpaceX,...

Schiff, Democrats Pivot Hard on Justice Department Election Interference Americans want, and expect, the Justice Department to operate free of political influence. But it is Democrats who torched the department’s credibility.For five years, U.S. Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) insisted, without evidence, that the Russians helped Donald Trump win the White House in 2016. Schiff, along with Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), first seeded the collusion narrative in July 2016—the same month James Comey’s FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane—by falsely claiming Kremlin hackers confiscated thousands of emails off the Democratic National Committee’s server, correspondence damaging to Hillary Clinton.From that point forward, Schiff leveraged...
