I would like to nominate President Joe Biden for the Nobel Peace Prize. Wait, here me out! If he wasn't the President, we would not have the information that the combination of drugs from the FLCCC Alliance would help prevent and/or cure the COVID-19 sickness. Also, this combination of drugs seems to help with the common cold and the flu. So, without his badgering, threating, trying to force the entire USA to take the clot shot, he has helped humankind.

An analyst who was a key contributor to Democratic-funded opposition research into possible links between Donald J. Trump and Russia was arrested on Thursday and charged with lying to the F.B.I. about his sources. The analyst, Igor Danchenko, was a primary researcher for claims that went into the so-called Steele dossier, a compendium of rumors and unproven assertions suggesting that Mr. Trump and his 2016 campaign were compromised by and conspiring with Russian intelligence officials to help him defeat Hillary Clinton. -snip- His business intelligence firm was a subcontractor to another research firm, Fusion GPS, which originally began researching Trump-Russia...

A California prison inmate confessed in a letter that he beat two child molesters to death with a cane while behind bars just hours after his urgent warning to a counselor that he might become violent was ignored, a newspaper chain reported Thursday.

Marshall: So more COVID vaccines have now been distributed in such a short period of time, to such a generalized population, than any time in our history. And yet there's still substantial concern and a substantial amount of information that people are questioning. And perhaps for those who are reluctant to get the vaccine, concern about safety. So the FDA and CDC have a reporting system where some of these events are reported either by themselves or by their doctors. So, what are we seeing from that reporting system? Marks: Well, I think what we're seeing is robust reporting of...

On this date in 1925, legendary British spy — and subsequent James Bond inspiration — Sidney Reilly was shot in a forest outside Moscow for his efforts to overthrow the Soviet government. Fact blends insensibly into fiction in Reilly‘s biography; much of what is known or believed about him is conjectural or colored by his posthumous valorization, such the 1967 book Reilly: Ace of Spies written by [the son of] his onetime cloak-and-dagger collaborator Robin Bruce Lockhart — who was himself a close friend of Bond author Ian Fleming. However, even at the word of less sensational biographers — such...

That's according to a risk-benefit analysis done by risk-benefit expert Dr. Toby Rogers. His analysis has been viewed by over 22,000 readers. No mistakes were found. Nothing but praise. ................ Dr. Toby Rogers writes a popular substack looking at risk benefit issues. His credentials are described here. In a recent article that I hope everyone will read or at least skim, he concluded: “So, to put it simply, the Biden administration plan would kill 5,248 children via Pfizer mRNA shots in order to save 45 children from dying of coronavirus. For every one child saved by the shot, another 117...

“Fear God and keep His commandments” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Living life apart from God is futile. The Book of Ecclesiastes is greatly misunderstood. It is a difficult book to read simply because it is hard to understand. Everything in it appears wrong and as if it doesn’t fit with the rest of Scripture. But it is part of the Old Testament wisdom literature because it is a statement of human wisdom. Ecclesiastes tells us how man perceives his world, God, and the realities of life. Most scholars believe Ecclesiastes was penned by Solomon. They debate whether he wrote it before he...

Some believers can tell you all about their spiritual growth, and you can clearly see the changes in their lives. They testify to you about how the Holy Ghost has vanquished the enemy for them, and you rejoice with them in their victory. Yet these kinds of Christians are the exception. Most believers are totally unaware of any spiritual progress in their lives. They pray, read the Bible and seek the Lord with all their hearts. There’s no obstruction to spiritual growth in them, but they can’t discern any growth in themselves. I’m an example of this type of believer....

U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, reacted Thursday night on "The Ingraham Angle" to news that U.S. troops had been badly beaten by their British counterparts while both groups underwent a training exercise in California. Hawley suggested the incident exemplified misplaced priorities in the U.S. military under the Biden administration – and worried that China might draw some conclusions about U.S. war readiness.

[Catholic Caucus] Liturgical Screwtape Letters Leaked to Gloria.tvA July 28 letter of Westminster Cardinal Nichols to Archbishop Roche, the Prefect of the Liturgy Congregation, has been leaked to Gloria.tv (below).It contains six questions regarding the application of Traditionis Custodes. Nichols asked:- whether following-up documents on TC will be issued;- whether TC abrogates the celebration of the other sacraments and the Roman Breviary;- whether the Novus Ordo calendar must be imposed on the Roman Rite;- what translations must be used for Roman Rite readings;- who exactly constitutes a Roman Rite “group” (TC);- whether TC allows for Roman Rite Requiems according to...

According to new documents received by Judicial Watch and exclusively provided to Fox News, Maryland’s most populous county, Montgomery County, launched a “psychoeducational lesson” teaching children in schools that there is a “dual pandemic” involving COVID-19 and “systemic racism.” Materials recommended that teachers buy the Ibram X. Kendi book “Antiracist Baby” as “the perfect gift” for “ages baby to age 3.” The documents come amid intense debate about critical race theory (CRT) in schools, after Virginia Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin won the 2021 governor’s race on a platform banning CRT. Many parents have opposed CRT – a framework that involves...

Prime Minister Boris Johnson let the cat out of the bag regarding the vaccine.[T]he double vaccination provides a lot of protection against serious illness and death but it doesn't protect you against catching the disease, and it doesn't protect you against passing it on.Well, if the vaccine doesn't work and doesn't stop the spread, then why get it? Because the vaccine bullies said so, that's why. These globalist bullies are like the schoolyard thug who takes the little guy's lunch money. The bully doesn't hear the little guy's protests, doesn't care. He wants the cash; he takes the cash. And...

A pair of anthropological forces are driving humans towards the consumption of wild mushrooms, a trend that deserves both examination and celebration as wild mushrooms not only represent a nutrient-dense food source, but also a connection to forests and ancestral traditions. The first is that regardless of the fact that during the 19th and 20th centuries, 12 crops and 14 animal species came to provide what is today around 98% of the world’s dietary content, reported incidence of wild mushroom foraging has increased globally by about 2100% over the last 56 years. The second is that forest ecosystems are beginning...

Detroit voters decriminalized therapeutic mushrooms – also known as psychedelic or "magic" mushrooms. On Election Day Tuesday, voters were asked to vote on Proposal E, which would make "the personal possession and therapeutic use of entheogenic plants by adults the city's lowest law-enforcement priority." The measure passed with 61.08% of the vote. Detroit is not the only city to decriminalize the substance, called psilocybin, which can be used to treat a variety of psychological issues, including depression, although scientists are still doing research. Last year, voters in another Michigan city, Ann Arbor, also voted to decriminalize psychedelic plants, as did...

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked what the Biden administration plan was to increase U.S. oil production. Her response is exactly what you might believe it would be from a thoroughly incompetent ideological administration. So what can a U.S. President and administration specifically do? We have abundant U.S. energy resources. Quite literally the strongest in the entire world. * Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized. * Finish the Dakota access pipeline. * Reapprove the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic...

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.( Judges 13:1)The Book of Judges is a divine record of the early years of the History of Israel, as they took possession (or failed to take possession) of the Promised Land. It is a tedious and repetitious record consisting of a recurring cycle, in which Israel initially relied on God in Faith, and set out in Battle against her enemies to take the Land, and then would prevail for a season, possess the...

The New York state constitution will be amended to say people have the right to clean air and water and a healthy environment, after voters said yes to the measure in a referendum that was part of local elections on Tuesday. A total of 60.8 percent of voters approved the referendum question, compared to 27 percent against and 11.7 casting blank ballots, with 99 percent of state districts reporting. Supporters of the “yes” option are claiming victory. *** Questions remain on whether this environmental right will be truly binding and opponents are already warning that it would create a legal...

The House Progressive Caucus has drawn scorn for its hardball tactic of holding up the bipartisan infrastructure bill in order to pressure moderate Democrats to support President Biden’s larger climate and social policy initiatives. “The liberals’ tactics,” observed the New York Times last month, “were reminiscent of those employed by the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, whose members routinely threatened to withhold their bloc of votes unless Republican leaders met their demands.” The Freedom Caucus has cultivated a toxic reputation in Washington for its destructive predilections, issuing impossible and constantly changing demands with no clear goal except derailing legislation of almost...

They made it all up. If you haven’t been paying attention to all the ins and outs of RussiaGate and the so-called “collusion” scandal, that’s all you need to know about Thursday’s arrest of Russian analyst Igor Danchenko. ---SNIP--- How’s that for a vicious circle? Clinton officials feed their Russian stooge disinformation, it gets laundered through British spy Christopher Steele, and the FBI uses it as the basis for wiretapping the future president’s team. This, with the active connivance of Obama intelligence officials such as James Clapper and John Brennan, who certainly knew the dossier was utter bull but publicly...

Democrats have been forced to postpone a vote on President Joe Biden’s ambitious agenda, consisting of the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and the $1.75 trillion budget bill. The decision to postpone the vote, coming after negotiations with moderates fell through, is another loss for the party. Their legislative agenda is now months off schedule, as leadership still cannot rally enough votes behind either bill to advance them individually or together. Divisions in the party have now plagued leadership for months, causing Democrats across the ideological spectrum to grow increasingly frustrated. In the days leading up to the scheduled vote...
