Jon Bon Jovi was halfway there — then came the COVID test. The fully vaccinated star backed out of a Miami Beach concert minutes before he was supposed to take the stage because of a surprise positive COVID-19 test. The Jersey-born rocker had been scheduled to play at the Loews South Beach for an acoustic Halloween performance, when the “Living on a Prayer” singer’s brother took the stage with the bad news just as the show was about to kick off. Matt Bongiovi announced that Jon had tested positive for the virus after the band had all taken a rapid...

The Democrats are pretending COVID is the entire problem, but the issue is also California’s cockamamie environmental and employment laws. I’ve lived in California for nearly 50 years, certainly long enough to know the state is wacko. It’s become a self-immolating mess, with policies growing more disastrous as the years go by. SNIP A few things, it seems to me, have played a part in the current crisis: Back in 2008, the state passed some onerous air quality legislation, that mandated truck engines be “upgraded” by certain dates. It was a gradual process, but older engines were simply not going...

...Governor Kay Ivey the Republican governor of Alabama had this to say back in July some three months ago... "I want people to get vaccinated...that's the cure...if we know what it takes to get it done, get a shot in your arm... it's safe effective... its time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks not the regular folks..." A "Conservative Speaker" comes to town to talk about "Critical Race Theory" this week and the Second Amendment is tossed out the door...Let Ammon Bundy tell you the story...

A letter from Nathan DeGrave, imprisoned in Washington, D.C., reveals that these prisoners are suffering cruel and unusual punishment for their political views. In 2020, BLM, Antifa, and opportunists rampaged through American cities, looting, burning, and assaulting and even murdering people. Leftists, including most major American corporations, contributed millions of dollars to various BLM funds, including funds to release those few who were arrested from prison. Most suffered minimal to no consequences. Meanwhile, nine months after the riot on January 6—which Tucker Carlson seems poised to expose once and for all as a false-flag operation—Americans who accepted the Capitol Police’s...

At the same time, credible accusations that the regime's President, Ebrahim Raisi, was involved in the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in 1988, are making it harder for other countries to engage and negotiate with a genocidal president. The Iranian regime is dealing with a multitude of crises and challenges. The economy is in shambles, COVID-19 is wreaking havoc, the unemployment rate continues to set new records, and the official inflation rate is now...

Woke Sports World has a MELTDOWN. It is ok that teams do this in honor of Native Americans! We were/are warriors! If this is not allowed we will be forgotten about. The democrats want all people, confederate, our African brothers, our WW2 HEROS, Korean War HEROS, Vietnam HEROS! To be forgotten about!

AFD are neo-Nazis. Anyone who has a problem with the rapefugees is a neo-Nazi. Everything is dunky-hory in Germany, except for those damned neo-Nazi AFD inciting violence, etc.

he Leftist, Liberal-Progressive, and secular cultures are full of lies and empty promises. Let’s start with the basics: Secular: denoting attitudes, activities, or other things that have no religious or spiritual basis. Contrasted with Sacred. Sacred: connected with God; regarded with respect and reverence. Surely, I can’t be the only one. I can’t be the only one who sees the erosion of that which has been foundational to civil, tolerant, and law-abiding society, and feels a sense of loss and fears where our culture is headed. As it turns out, I am not. I have read a handful of commentaries...

Panasonic has debuted its 4680 cylindrical battery that was previewed at Tesla’s Battery Day event last year. The battery will purportedly store five times as much energy and cost half as much to build as the 2170 lithium-ion cells Tesla currently uses in the Model 3 and Y, which are also provided by Panasonic. (Bullet point excerpt. More detail is in the body of the article)

An investigation of data found in the USA’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has revealed that extremely high numbers of adverse reactions and deaths have been reported against specific lot numbers of the Covid-19 vaccines several times, meaning deadly batches of the experimental injections have now been identified.But what’s perhaps more concerning is that the “deadly” lots were distributed widely across the United States whilst other “benign” lots were sent to just a few locations. The data used in the investigation was pulled from the publicly accessible VAERS database which can be viewed here. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting...

Author’s Note: Interested readers can find all previous volumes of this series here. News Flash: The first 56 volumes are compiled into a book titled “Bible Study For Those Who Don’t Read The Bible.” More details at the end. Now back to our regular programming. Thanks for joining our study. Since today is Halloween, let’s explore the biblical basis for the holiday. (Cue irritating buzzer sound.) Wrong! – No biblical basis. However, a connection runs through the original Catholic All Saints Day dedicated to the deceased who have attained heaven and those the church officially recognizes as saints.While historical accounts...

Earlier this week, I received this email from the New York Times: "Hello Mr. Root, I am a media reporter with The New York Times. My colleague and I are working on a story about false or misleading vaccine misinformation in the audio space ... You have said on Facebook that the vaccine 'doesn't work' and is 'a complete failure.' Do you have any comment?" I want to share my response to The New York Times: Sure, I have a comment. Every word I say is based on science and facts. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is the...

Source: Screenshot/TwitterPolitical stunts are generally stupid and performed by people desperate for attention or to change the subject. The planning meetings usually involve panic and a mad scramble for ideas, any ideas a frenzied group of people in over their heads thinks will work. They rarely, if ever, work. And when a stunt involves the noted pederast facilitators, you can almost guarantee a couple of things: 1, it will be especially stupid, and 2, some left-wing moron paid for it. Virginia just saw all of this rolled into one, courtesy of the goon squad at the Lincoln Project. How serious...

Disturbing Letter from Jan 6 Political Prisoner Details Deep State’s Efforts to Destroy Patriots Nathan DeGrave was in Washington DC on January 6. He did not commit acts of violence or engage in “insurrection.” But his patriotism has been rewarded with ongoing confinement by a Deep State apparatus that is bent on suppressing patriotic Americans. Unfortunately, it’s working. He sent a letter to the world through a friend. The content of that letter is below. I strongly encourage everyone to read it all the way through as it details the hideous treatment that is being leveled on American citizens who...

Happy Halloween BTW...

In our culture where "live your own truth" is the worldview of a seemingly ever-increasing number of Americans, women and children in the U.S. are especially in danger. This is because, as pop-culture "philosopher" Cameron Diaz put in 2013, on marriage and sex, tens of millions of Americans have decided it's best to "make our own rules." As Americans have shunned marriage at a record pace, co-habitation among U.S. couples has exploded. In 2019, Pew Research reported that in the U.S., among people age 18 to 44, a significantly larger share "have cohabitated at some point than have been married...

(CNN)Since their discovery, the ancestry of hundreds of mummified bodies buried in boats in an inhospitable desert region of northwest China has puzzled and divided archaeologists.... Their Western looks; felted and woven wool clothing; and the cheese, wheat and millet found in their unusual graves suggested they were long-disticance herders.... However, a new study by Chinese, European and American researchers that analyzed the DNA of these 13 mummies, sequencing their genomes for the first time, has painted a different picture. Their analysis suggested that the remains did not belong to newcomers but a local group descended from an ancient ice...

Netflix's 'Colin in Black and White' shows a star athlete reaching toward Blackness If you had any questions about where Colin Kaepernick's activist spirit originated, a look at Netflix's new limited series, Colin in Black and White, removes all doubt. These days, Kaepernick is known as the ex-San Francisco 49ers quarterback whose decision to kneel during the national anthem in 2016 to protest racial injustice inspired others and kicked off years of conflicts. He became a free agent in 2017 and remains unsigned by an NFL team, a situation many analysts attributed to political blowback from the controversy sparked by...
