During America's chaotic exit from Afghanistan earlier this year, the Biden administration issued a directive that evacuation flights be filled to "excess" with refugees who had not been properly vetted before arriving in America, according to an internal administration communication disclosed on Tuesday by Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.). "Total inflow to the U.S. must exceed the number of seats available. Err on the side of excess," reads an Aug. 16 email to U.S. officials involved in the exit from Afghanistan. "This guidance provides clear discretion and direction to fill seats and to provide special consideration for women and children...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, already facing calls for his ouster for allegedly lying to Congress about his agency’s funding of controversial genetic research at China’s Wuhan lab, is now facing political heat on a different front. On Friday, a bipartisan group of lawmakers sent a letter to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NAID) and President Joe Biden requesting information regarding allegations that the government funded experiments that injected puppies with parasites."We write with grave concerns about reports of costly, cruel, and unnecessary tax-payer funded experiments on dogs commissioned by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases," said...

The carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity offers a new way to conceptualize energy balanceA conceptual illustration of the complex mathematics of potato chips, a cupcake, bread slices, a donut. The First Law of Thermodynamics, formulated in the 1800s, says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. For the human body, this principle of physics means that if you consume more calories than you burn (or excrete), the excess is stored in the body (mainly as fat). Variations on this "energy balance" principle form the foundations for how we think about, and treat, obesity. For example, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans...

What is freedom and what is freedom worth to each of us. Where do we get it from, how do we keep it. Listen to Jim Caviezel for as he says "The storm is Upon Us".

Of the 16 immunizations the CDC recommends for children and teens, all 50 states (plus the District of Columbia) mandate diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, rubella and chickenpox. In addition, every state except Iowa mandates immunization against mumps. (The diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines usually are given as a single combined shot, as are the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines.) Except for the chickenpox vaccine, which became available in the United States in 1995, all those vaccines have been around for 50 years or more.

Done with a horn section. Brilliant!

The House Health Committee is appealing a decision by a bipartisan panel that upheld the statewide mask order for Pennsylvania schools and child care centers. The health committee on Tuesday voted to 15-10 along party lines to challenge the Joint Committee on Documents’ decision. In a 7-4 vote last week, the Joint Committee determined Acting Health Secretary Alison Beam did not violate the law by issuing her order to halt the spread of the coronavirus. Democratic members on the health committee were united in opposing the motion to appeal the matter to Commonwealth Court. They called it a waste of...

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it — lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’?” (Luke 14:28-30, NKJV). Christ knew many of his followers would not have what it took to see them through. He knew they would turn back and not finish the race. I believe this is the most tragic condition possible for a...

Businesses are “pleading” with the Biden administration to delay a plan to mandate businesses with 100 or more employees require vaccines or weekly testing over concerns that, if the rule goes into force before the holiday season, businesses could see a “mass exodus” of workers when many need them most, per CNBC. Labor unions are already voicing concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which was announced in September. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which is in charge of drafting and distributing the mandate under the guise of “emergency powers” awarded to the agency at the height of the COVID-19...

In the 2004 Governor's race in the State of Washington, wildly popular Republican Dino Rossi overcame Democrat Christine Gregoire (aka Fraudoire) and her criminal syndicate of lawyers and union bosses that have kept a lock on key elective offices in the State for as long as anyone can remember. In Seattle, I knew one of the lawyer kingpins whose family had their hands in the State’s politics since the late 1800s. Joe T headed up at one time a law firm of more than 50 lawyers but three ex-wives ate him for dinner leaving him to relish gin highballs for...

Boxer Floyd Mayweather posted a video to social media Monday saying he supports Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving who has been banned from playing basketball over his refusal to take the coronavirus vaccine. Mayweather praised Irving for “being your own man” and for “having integrity” to stand up for what he believes, despite the costs. “Kyrie, what’s up? I know you’re going through a lot. We had a chance to hang out in 2016, when you represented America – when you represented the Red, White, and Blue. You only want to be treated fairly,” Mayweather said in the video referencing...

It is, apparently, Hollywood movie set custom to shout out 'cold gun' before handing an actor a firearm on set. It's meant to confirm that the weapon is not real, or at least not loaded with a real bullet, but here's the question that's puzzling the non-movie world ever since we heard the shocking news that Alec Baldwin had accidentally shot a camera-woman dead on set last Thursday- how could a real bullet get into a film set in the first place? Why require reassurance about something, a 'hot gun', that should never be remotely possible in the such a...

Two very political goldfish

Joe Rogan and Michael Malice discussed last week why the corporate press continues to dismiss ways doctors can treat Covid-19 aside from vaccination. Rogan said that Dr. Pierre Kory from the Front Line Critical Care Covid group treated him and hundreds of members of Congress with monoclonal antibodies, prednisone, z-pak, NAD, vitamins, and ivermectin. ... 200 Congress people have been treated with Ivermectin for Covid. ..

Leftist Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey warned late on Friday that “hyperinflation” would change life as people know it, it’s happening now, and it’s going to hit the U.S. “Hyperinflation is going to change everything. It’s happening,” Dorsey wrote on Twitter, later adding, “It will happen in the U.S. soon, and so the world.” Hyperinflation is a term to describe rapid, excessive, and out-of-control general price increases in an economy,” Investopedia explained. “While inflation is a measure of the pace of rising prices for goods and services, hyperinflation is rapidly rising inflation, typically measuring more than 50% per month.” CNBC reported:...

There’s still many unsolved mysteries surrounding the 2013 election of Cdl. Bergoglio The narrative that Cardinal Bergoglio was a passive, or even an unwitting, beneficiary of the St. Gallen mafia’s initiatives on his behalf is impossible to accept.Tue Oct 26, 2021 - 12:35 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — His biggest supporters push the narrative of a humble cardinal and Church “surprised” by the election of Pope Francis. However, this narrative runs counter to the reality described in Henry Sire’s book The Dictator Pope of a Cardinal Bergoglio who “plotted like mad” after Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation. Even accounts friendly...

Originally developed and commercialized as an antiprotozoal agent, nitazoxanide was later identified as a first-in-class broad-spectrum antiviral drug and has been repurposed for the treatment of influenza. A Phase 2b/3 clinical trial recently published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases found that oral administration of nitazoxanide 600 mg twice daily for five days reduced the duration of clinical symptoms and reduced viral shedding compared to placebo in persons with laboratory-confirmed influenza. The same study also suggested a potential benefit for subjects with influenza-like illness who did not have influenza or other documented respiratory viral infection. From a chemical perspective, nitazoxanide is...
