White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy said Tuesday morning that President Joe Biden was 'wide awake' after he was seemingly caught snoozing during a session at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow Monday afternoon. 'When I saw the president yesterday, he wasn't just wide awake, but he was really on fire,' she told Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski without prompting. 'He's really excited to have the United States in action here in Glasgow.' Brzezinski didn't ask McCarthy directly about the video of Biden that went viral, where he looked to be dozing off as one speaker underscored the importance of...

Haven't seen any Tim Poole podcast promoted since Thursday. Saw a message Thursday saying they were taking a night off. Nothing since. Anyone know anything?

A Cook County judge on Monday told Chicago leaders that they cannot force police officers to be vaccinated by year end, emphasizing that you can’t “undo a vaccine” and “meaningful arbitration” must commence. In a suit challenging the city’s vaccination mandate, Judge Raymond Mitchell told Chicago Police Department’s labor unions and city leaders to continue to negotiate an agreement on COVID requirements and restrictions, while staying the December 31 vaccination deadline for officers. There are “two competing public interests, but one interest need not be scuttled in favor of another,” Judge Raymond Mitchell wrote in his ruling, according to the...

@funder Here’s Glenn Youngkin calling GOP Sen Rand Paul a “smart man” and “one of my really close friends.” “When I need advice that’s someone I’m calling.”

Physician and Army Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long spoke today during a roundtable discussion organized by Senator Ron Johnson. She reported some very disturbing details of her experiences with patients who had recently been “vaccinated” for Covid-19. “With respect to aviation safety, risk communication is critical,” she said. “I saw five patients in clinic, two of which presented with chest pain days to weeks after vaccination and were subsequently diagnosed with pericarditis and worked up to rule out myocarditis.” The military’s push for universal vaccinations, which comes down from the Biden-Harris regime via the Pentagon, has been a contentious issue because...

STORY AT-A-GLANCEUniversities across the U.S. are mandating vaccination for attendance and enforcing indoor mask mandates, social distancing and no-socializing policies, but reserve the right to host events of any size, including bankable athletic eventsCollege students who in previous decades had developed critical thinking skills and questioned authority through the encouragement of faculty and staff, are now learning to quickly comply with rules and regulationsUniversity of Iowa students staged a “die-in,” demanding greater restrictions on activities, while at other campuses students are being encouraged to keep each other accountable by reporting student behaviorCollege administrators appear to be invested in the surveillance...

Fairfax County to release partial county of early in-person ballot count Fairfax County, which is delayed in reporting its early vote ballots, will release a partial county of their early voter in-person ballot count, a state party official tells Fox News' Rich Edson. They have to re-scan a portion of them and will release the portion of what they have completed soon. POLL RESULTS While McAuliffe campaigned with Joe Biden, Youngkin held no events with former President Donald Trump and really didn’t talk about him. Yet 49 percent of Virginia voters think he supports the former president too much. 45%...

A concerned mom says she’s filed a police report against North Kingstown High School in North Kingstown, Rhode Island for promoting a book with gay pornography to minors in the school library. The pornographic book was published by Lion Forge Comics and is titled “Gender Queer: A Memoir.” It was authored and illustrated by Maia Kobabe, who uses the made-up pronouns of e/em/eir and whose work focuses on “anti-fascism,” according to a description on Amazon. Nicole Solas, a resident of South Kingstown and mom of a kindergartener, posted a picture of the book in a display case on Twitter and...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) vaccine advisory panel today unanimously recommended Pfizer’s COVID vaccine for children 5 to 11, despite concerns raised during the meeting about Pfizer’s clinical data, the fact that children who previously acquired natural immunity to COVID were included in clinical trials and evidence showing COVID poses little risk to children.If Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director signs off on the decision, children ages 5 through 11 could start receiving COVID vaccines as early as tonight.The younger age group will receive one-third of the dose authorized for those 12 and older in two shots...

Earlier this week, Natural News posted an article detailing the changing of the definition of “vaccines” to include mRNA jabs, allowing them to be used within the all-important Emergency Use Authorization protocols that stuck us with the jabs in the first place. Now, a fulfilled FOIA request tells us why they changed the definition again. Who do they blame for the change? “Right-wing covid 19 pandemic deniers,” of course. According to Technofog: The CDC caused an uproar in early September 2021, after it changed its definitions of “vaccination” and “vaccine.” For years, the CDC had set definitions for vaccination/vaccine that...

Eleven months after the 2020 American presidential election, the official results remain so incongruous, they merit an empirical exegesis. The political establishment’s narrative is that Biden won an unexpectedly close race, and the outcome requires no further examination. Yet, Biden’s victory is so statistically suspicious, so riddled with ahistorical outcomes, that a detailed data examination is necessary to reassure Americans the official result was, in fact, the actual result.

President Biden said Tuesday that "things are a hell of a lot better" in the U.S. right now than they were this time last year, despite the rampant inflation hitting Americans.

Election-day voters choose Youngkin, 59-41. Overall, Youngkin is leading 51-49. Caveat: CNN is NOT publishing the overall winner. Instead, they are breaking up the vote into five regions, and publishing the percent of each region each candidate gets. I am multiplying each candidate's portion of each region, and adding up the five regions. However, CNN rounds the results, so I'm calculating results by doing math on final results which have already been divided into five and THEN rounded. That means rounding can actually amount to an inaccuracy of several percentage points. Please add info to comments as you get it

Facebook has changed it’s name to “Meta”. I don’t blame them for wanting to change their name, Facebook is a tarnished brand, since they have lent themselves as Government censors, taken sides and influenced the last couple of elections, and internationally, they removed the Bible App to appease the Chinese, Communistic oppressor government. So Jeff Zuckerberg revealed last week that the name would be here on known as “Meta”. What does it mean? Zuckerberg tells us that the word “Meta” is from the greek language and it means “Beyond”. There is a concept which has been discussed and to which...

Help needed with Religious Exemption prep!My company came out with a vax mandate and I have filed for a religious exemption. My initial request had the following statements... I received a message today that they want to have an interactive discussion about my request... The focus of the discussion is to learn more about your religious beliefs and restrictions, and discuss potential accommodations.I am a little nervous as to what they might ask, how I might respond, etc. I don't want to lose my chance at an exemption by fumbling my responses. Any guidance and resources would be appreciated. Below...

Doses are about one-third of the amount given to adolescents, adults Vaccine advisors for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) voted Tuesday that children ages 5-11 should get COVID-19 vaccines. The vote comes after a special federal advisory committee met to debate the issue. A final say on the matter is expected from CDC Director Dro. Rochelle Walensky. Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized emergency use for kid doses, which are about one-third of the dose given to adolescents and adults. The vaccine is already approved for emergency use in children 12-15 years...

Joe Biden was dealt a major blow by federal workers who just won in court. Biden’s coronavirus vaccine mandate put the jobs and livelihoods of many Americans at risk. In a new ruling, judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued a temporary restraining order against the mandate. This decision protects military and civilian employees from being fired while their requests for religious exemptions to Biden’s vaccine mandate are being heard. “None of the civilian employee plaintiffs will be subject to discipline while his or her request for a religious exception is pending,” Kollar-Kotelly ordered. This ruling came in the U.S. District Court in...

How effective is immunity after Covid recovery relative to vaccination? An Israeli study by Gazit et al. found that the vaccinated have a 27 times higher risk of symptomatic infection than the Covid recovered. At the same time, the vaccinated were nine times more likely to be hospitalized for Covid. In contrast, a CDC study by Bozio et al. claims that the Covid recovered are five times more likely to be hospitalized for Covid than the vaccinated. Both studies cannot be right. I have worked on vaccine epidemiology since I joined the Harvard faculty almost two decades ago as a...
