ROME (AP) — Leaders of the world’s biggest economies on Saturday endorsed a global minimum tax on corporations as part of an agreement on new international tax rules, a step toward building more fairness amid skyrocketing revenues of some multinational businesses. The move by the Group of 20 summit in Rome was hailed by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen as benefiting American businesses and workers. G-20 finance ministers in July had already agreed on a 15% minimum tax. Its formal endorsement at the summit Saturday in Rome of the world’s economic powerhouses was widely expected. Yellen predicted in a...

A sick and perverted Twix commercial, yeah, Twix. A third gender is added to your passport.

To no one’s surprise, the state of Virginia is being stolen again. We saw it in the 2020 Election and we are seeing it again. Fairfax County was involved in unexplained and corrupt acts in the 2020 Election which were never addressed. We knew only a few days after the 2020 Election that there were three 330,000 vote drops for Joe Biden in the state in the middle of the night during the election. We later found out that these ballot dumps were in Fairfax County. Now we are finding out that Fairfax County is not requiring the last four...

Two Minnesota doctors are speaking out after being silenced for reiterating the importance of individual rights as it pertains to COVID-related policies. Dr. Scott Jensen, a GOP gubernatorial candidate in the state, faces a fifth investigation in just one year for emphasizing the importance of natural immunity, and Dr. Jeffrey Horak was reportedly terminated from his role of 15 years as a veteran of general surgery after speaking at a local school board meeting. Dr. Jensen explained the vaccine must be "targeted," however, to people most vulnerable to severe cases of COVID-19, rather than applying broad mandates. "The Minnesota Board...

A bright yellow mural declaring “BLACK LIVES MATTER” has been permanently painted on the main roadway leading to the White House, and work to redesign the surrounding street to accommodate a pedestrian gathering space is also complete. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser had the original mural painted in June 2020. She renamed the two-block stretch of 16th Street NW to Black Lives Matter Plaza, days after federal law enforcement officers violently shoved and fired tear gas at demonstrators protesting police brutality. “We sent a strong message that Black Lives Matter, and that power has always been and always will be with...

Hundreds of New York City firefighters took sick leave on Friday instead of complying with Mayor Bill de Blasio's deadline for all city workers to be vaccinated or be placed on unpaid leave - causing some firehouses to shut their doors because of staff shortages. 'The excessive sick leave ... because of their anger at the vaccine mandate for all city employees is unacceptable,' said FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro, who oversees a department where more than a quarter of its workers have not had one COVID vaccine shot. Nigro said their decision to take sick leave could 'endanger the lives'...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis woman is behind bars after police say she tried to run a woman and her children off the road in North Memphis. Breonna Parker, 20, is facing eight counts of aggravated assault after police say she repeatedly harassed and assaulted a woman and her five children. Court documents said on October 20th, Parker went to the victim’s home and tried to get the victim to fight her. MPD said she honked her horn and yelled at the victim from outside while waving a gun. Police didn’t say why Parker wanted to fight the victim but...

Approximately 12,000 Air Force personnel have reportedly refused orders to be vaccinated against the Chinese coronavirus despite the Pentagon’s mandate. Officials said it was too late for them to take it by the Tuesday deadline which posed a test for leaders whose August directive apparently sparked defiance in one segment of the force, according to the Washington Post. The Thursday report continued: The vast majority of active-duty airmen, 96.4%, are at least partially vaccinated, according to data from the Air Force. But officials have warned that, barring an approved medical or religious exemption, those who defy lawful orders to be...

The Bare Bones Story When we were homeschooling our three children we often would go on field trips with our home school group. Once I led a trip to a cave that Indians used to live in and one boy brought his dog along. Well, the dog started to dig in the dirt and found a bone. The owner of the cave started to yell at the boy, “get that bone, it may be an important artifact”. The boy went to the dog but the dog acted like “Hey, I found the bone and it is mine, go find your...

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) president and CEO Derrick Johnson warned professional athletes against agreeing to play for teams located in Texas. The inspiration for this warning is the new Texas law limiting abortions after the baby’s heartbeat is detected. “One of the highly valued perks of being a pro athlete are the many opportunities for sex with nubile young women who are attracted by your physique,” Johnson pointed out. “Easy access to abortion was your parachute to escape a possible 18 years or more of child-support payments to a woman you hardly know. The new...

On the same day that the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a major new global warming report, John Coleman, a founder of the Weather Channel, appeared on CNN Sunday to reiterate his stance that “climate change is not happening.” * snip * “And if you get down to the hard, cold facts, there’s no question about it: Climate change is not happening, there is no significant, man-made global warming... “

One idiom is showing up more often lately, as people claim that the gene therapy device speciously known as The Vaccine is “the hill they will die on,” especially as mandates close in on people’s livelihoods and children’s safety. Consider this post from @TheEX_ERnurse: “A woman bled out in front of my eyes after the vax. There was nothing I could do to save her. She haunts me. SHE is the reason I left nursing rather than getting the vax…I will not comply. This is my hill.” Or as Dr. Christopher Rake, a UCLA anesthesiologist who was escorted off his...

Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time Luke 14:1, 7-11 Friends, our Gospel today is the famous passage from Luke’s Gospel dealing with honor at a banquet. Jesus has been invited to the home of a prominent person, one of the "leading Pharisees," and he notices how people jockey carefully for position, status, prominence. Who will notice me? Who can I impress? And Jesus puts his finger on the most desperate scenario for an egotist. Trying as hard as he can to be noticed, he gets noticed but for all the wrong reasons! His egotistic games backfire dreadfully, as everyone sees him...

ust days after Donald J. Trump left the White House, two former contestants on his reality show, “The Apprentice,” approached him with a pitch. Wes Moss and Andy Litinsky wanted to create a conservative media giant. Mr. Trump was taken with the idea. But he had to figure out how to pay for it. This month, the former president found a way. He agreed to merge his social media venture with what’s known as a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. The result is that Mr. Trump — largely shut out of the mainstream financial industry because of his history...

ROME (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrived in Italy for a Group of 20 meeting on Friday with a stark warning: modern civilization could soon lie in ruins like ancient Rome if world leaders don’t act to curb climate change. Johnson has one big goal at the G-20 gathering: to persuade the leaders of the world’s biggest economies to put their money where their mouth is at the U.N. climate summit in Scotland that starts Sunday. Johnson will deploy his ebullience and his — admittedly divisive — charm to try to extract cash and carbon-cutting commitments from the...

Leaders of the world’s biggest economies endorsed a deal on corporate taxation that they hope will safeguard their future revenues and offer stability to businesses that operate internationally. The main beneficiaries are likely to be rich countries, including the U.S. In the opening session of their summit in Rome, leaders of the Group of 20 major economies gave their blessing to a global pact that has been more than a decade in the making, according to officials. The agreement comes in two parts: It sets a minimum tax rate of 15% on the profits of large businesses and will raise...

After a long cross-country flight, I made it out of LAX and into an Uber. I wasn’t in the mood to talk, but the driver was. And hearing that I was a journalist, he wanted to tell me a story. I’ve heard a lot of stories over the years, but this may have been the most important one I let go. He hadn’t always been driving an Uber at 11:30 at night. Not all that long ago he used to have his own business with 7 trucks before he was bankrupted by California’s insane regulations. I listened, but didn’t pay...

>It's been a rough few days for Terry McAuliffe. Polling is in the toilet as he gets into the final 72-hours of the campaign. Virginia voters are telling him where to stick his "parents should stay out of their kid's education" agenda. And the Lincoln Project sent a group of democrat operatives to dress like white nationalists, to "help" the McAuliffe campaign--at least in theory. Things didn't stop getting worse for The Macker because the White House sent Kamala Harris to help rally the crowd. It went a little something like this.Kamala fails to fire up the crowd at a...

Mesa County Colorado Clerk Tina Peters knew that the Colorado Secretary of State was most likely committing a crime when she ordered voting machines cleaned of 2020 Election results so Peters made a backup of her County’s 2020 voting machines. She was then targeted by the state for her actions. Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters shared her story at the event Mike Lindell put on a few months ago in South Dakota. The Mesa County, Colorado data was recently reviewed by database and systems analyst Jeffrey O’Donnell. Numerous issues were uncovered. The accurate final vote for Mesa County cannot be...
