ransomnote: The FDA/NIH/CDC and pharma companies chose calculations of Covid 'vaccine' efficacy that falsely portray the 'vaccines' as being more effective than they actually are. This calculation is known as Relative Risk (RR) and it's similar to grading on a curve (e.g., 'Doug's test score is twice that of Jimmy's test score!').The Expose performs vaccine efficacy (i.e., real-world performance) calculuations by utilizing the manufacturer's chosen Relative Risk formula in order to make direct comparisons between what they claimed versus what actually happened. Some FReepers bitterly complain TheExpose is being deceptive or that its calcuations don't make any sense when...

Rep. Cori Bush, a Democrat left-wing "squad" member in the House, attacked Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin for his opposition to the multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better Act. Manchin is "anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman and anti-immigrant," according to Bush because of his opposition to this megaspending welfare bill. If Bush wants to identify politicians hurting Blacks, children, women and immigrants, she needn't go further than to look in the mirror. Bush represents Missouri's 1st Congressional district, which includes a big chunk of St. Louis. The district is 49% Black. According to Census Reporter, median household income in the district is $50,163, compared with...

She is a reminder that the paranoia about COVID is grossly disproportionate to the risks associated with COVID. When the Black Death arrived in Avignon, France, a courageous doctor named Guy de Chauliac stayed to care for the sick even as many of his fellow physicians fled the city. He wrote that the plague “was so contagious...that one man caught it from another not just when living nearby but simply by looking at him.... Father would not visit son, nor son, father; charity was dead, and hope prostrate.” The death rate for bubonic plague rose to 50%. The mortality rate...

Abortion activists are attacking pro-life efforts in every way possible, including by twisting Christian teachings to claim that it’s acceptable to kill a unique, living unborn baby who is created in the image of God. The Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, president of Union Theological Seminary in New York City, is one of them. In a column at Salon, she slammed the Texas heartbeat law as “un-Christian” and claimed it’s pro-lifers who are distorting the Bible for “their political goals.” “There is nothing godly about outlawing abortion — and Texas’ law is particularly un-Christian,” Jones began. “As a Christian biblical scholar,...

Somehow it is supposedly a great achievement that 136 countries got together to agree to a 15% minimum corporate tax.

The little dictators are all around us these days. The little dictators are all around us these days. I watched a short video of “protestors” in Bisbee, Arizona imposing their political ugliness upon the wedding of a young woman because Senator Kristen Sinema was officiating at the ceremony. It was brutal. The mother of the bride, in tears, begs the crowd to be quiet for just an hour. In response a woman says, “Will you tell her (Sinema) that she is a sellout, tell her that we don’t like what she’s doing to our country!” As this ogre reaches the...

Wokeness was the biggest loser. Both New Jersey and Virginia have been strong Democrat bastions for quite some time. Republican presidential candidates usually do not even bother to waste their time and money campaigning in these states. Republican candidates enter any electoral race in these states with the knowledge that defeat is almost inevitable. Last year, Joe Biden won both these states in a landslide. However, the tables have turned and rather drastically now. Republican Glenn Youngkin has triumphed over former Governor Terry McAuliffe in Virginia while Republican Jack Ciatterelli is in a very close contest with New Jersey Gov....

Hours after several election experts projected Republican Glenn Youngkin the winner in Virginia’s governor race, Fox News came in dead last, as the establishment media complex (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NYT, and Politico) called the race in Youngkin’s favor.

Winsome Sears will become Virginia lieutenant governor, CNN projects, becoming first female and woman of color in the office Winsome Sears, a conservative Republican, will be Virginia's next lieutenant governor, breaking barriers as the first female and the first woman of color in the office in the commonwealth's 400-year legislative history. CNN projected Sears' win over Democrat Del. Hala Ayala, also a woman of color, on Wednesday. Sears will serve alongside Republican Glenn Youngkin, whom CNN projected would win the Virginia gubernatorial race. Sears, who was born in Jamaica, is the first Black Republican woman to be elected to the...

Republicans appeared to be on the verge of ending Democratic control of Virginia’s House of Delegates in Tuesday’s elections. With a few races still too close to call early Wednesday morning, the party appeared headed for at least a 50-50 tie with Democrats in the chamber, if not a narrow majority.

A British leftist group calling itself the Center for Countering Digital Hate has issued a report on what it calls the "Toxic Ten," which are so-called fringe websites spreading "climate change denial." The ten include our group, the Media Research Center, as well as Breitbart, The Daily Wire, Townhall Media, Newsmax, The Washington Times and The Western Journal. So, any challenge to Greenpeace climate-crackdown orthodoxy is now classified as "toxic" and "digital hate." Their solution? To press Facebook and Google to "stop monetizing" these conservative sites, stop allowing them to buy ads and to "comprehensively label" their climate reporting as...

There's been a lot of attention paid to resident Joe Biden's falling job approval rating. And it is indeed going down, down, down. But along with confidence in the president, the public is also losing faith in the Democratic Party's ability to handle the issues that most concern voters today. It's been a long fall for both Biden and his party since they narrowly won control in Washington one year ago this week. A new NBC News poll has Biden's job approval rating at 42% among all adults, with a disapproval rating of 54%. That's 12 points underwater, and it...

The Republican Party — populated with cranks, crooks, clowns, bigots and deranged conspiracy theorists — has spent five years alienating women, minorities and young voters. The party — and its entire leadership from the grassroots to Congress — remains in thrall to a disgraced, defeated, one-term president, who is reduced to issuing increasingly crazed screeds from his exile in Mar-a-Lago. Every day we learn more about Republican complicity in the events of Jan. 6 and their attempts to whitewash an attempted coup. The GOP is the party of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz and Louie Gohmert. Sane Republicans...

The three Republican candidates for the 11th legislative district – Lori Annetta, Kim Eulner, and Marilyn Piperno – currently lead their Democratic incumbent opponents in what may shape up to be another upset victory for Republicans. Annetta narrowly leads State Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Long Branch), while Eulner and Piperno have more substantial advantages over Assemblywoman Joann Downey (D-Freehold) and Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling (D-Neptune). The outcome in all three races will likely depend on outstanding ballots that have yet to be counted. All three Democrats were first elected to the legislature by defeating Republican incumbents. Downey and Houghtaling surprisingly beat Assemblywoman...

Republican candidates swept the Nassau and Suffolk district attorney races on Tuesday. In Nassau, Republican Anne Donnelly, a longtime county prosecutor, declared victory against Democratic State Sen. Todd Kaminsky in their campaign for an open seat. In Suffolk, Democratic incumbent Timothy Sini conceded to former federal prosecutor Ray Tierney, who ran on the Republican and Conservative party lines.

We're out of Afghanistan. Good. We should have gotten out before. Our involvement there was America's longest war, longer than the Civil War, World War I and World War II combined. We accomplished little good and plenty of bad. Tens of thousands killed. A trillion dollars spent. Now the Taliban wear American uniforms and fly American planes. Hawks say, "If we just stayed a little longer ... " It's not true. Yes, there had been a drop in violence in Afghanistan. But that did not mean we were winning. The Taliban were just waiting because former President Donald Trump announced...

Republicans appeared headed to a resounding victory in the Suffolk County Legislature early Wednesday, tossing out top Democratic leaders and taking control of the 18-seat body. The GOP was on its way to flipping at least four seats, and ejecting the presiding officer and the Democratic majority leader, according to election results about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. The deputy presiding officer, another Democrat, was fighting a close race to hang on to her seat. Democrats Sarah Anker, Rob Calarco, Susan Berland and Mark Cutherbertson appeared to have lost their bids, according to the results, which included most or all districts reporting....
