Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine increases a person's risk of developing rare blood clots, a new study suggests. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, compared data from the general population before the pandemic to data gathered from reported vaccine side-effects suffered by Americans. They found that a person who received the vaccine was 3.5 times as likely to develop brain blood clots as an average person before the pandemic. Blood clotting, and specifically cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a well known side-effect of the J&J vaccine, and the discovery of this risk was the reason usage of...

President Joe Biden issued a statement on Sunday slamming Nicaragua's "sham elections," in which President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, are expected to claim victory. In the statement, Biden accused Ortega's government of conducting "a pantomime election that was neither free nor fair, and most certainly not democratic." Biden said the imprisonment of nearly 40 opposition figures and preventing other parties from competing in the election "rigged the outcome well before election day." He also noted that independent media has been shuttered, journalists jailed, and civil society groups bullied.

Ohio lawmakers are scheduled to hold hearings next week on a pair of maps drawn up in the redistricting process ahead of next year’s midterms after the state lost a seat in the last census. One map proposed by Republicans in the GOP-controlled Senate chamber is raising eyebrows by adding urban Democratic strongholds to U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan’s rural conservative district. Jordan is the state’s most prominent House member. “This Ohio Senate GOP map would gerrymander Rep. Jim Jordan, a leading Trump ally and the top R in the House Judiciary Committee, out of his district,” added New York Post...

Two researchers say countries should halt the administration of COVID-19 vaccines to pregnant and breastfeeding women after re-analyzing a study performed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers. The study in question, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in April, has been used by the CDC and health agencies in other countries to justify vaccination recommendations to pregnant women and new mothers. “A U.S. study of over 35,000 women who were pregnant and had an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine showed that the side effects following vaccination were very similar in those who were pregnant when compared to...

While most millennials view Jesus and the Bible as at least “a little positive,” nearly one-third of America’s largest, most educated and misunderstood generation also identify as LGBT, and 75% of them admit to “searching for a sense of purpose in life,” a new report from Arizona Christian University shows. The report, New Insights into the Generation of Growing Influence: Millennials In America by George Barna, who leads research at Arizona Christian University’s Cultural Research Center, explains in an analysis of the findings that a number of the daunting challenges faced by the generation of 78 million — defined in...

A recent study about the rising influence of Millennials has revealed that almost 1/3 of the nearly 70 million adults that make up America’s most populous generation now identify as LGBTQ. The unprecedented number of people who are identifying this way is a terrifying signal of the group’s ever-growing propensity to be influenced by the Left’s Marxist propaganda. The paper’s author, George Bana, told Newsweek that the sharp uptick can be directly attributed to “social and news media coverage” that has turned becoming LGBTQ into the new “safe and cool” trend. “It’s a subset of a larger issue, that this...

Poland To Double The Size Of Its Army, Citing “Russia’s Imperial Ambitions” Poland announced this past week that it plans to double the size of its army to 300,000 – which would make it the largest in the European Union – as it’s increasingly worried about destabilizing threats from Belarus, and also amid fresh Western media speculation of a Russian troop build-up near Ukraine. On Tuesday deputy prime minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski cited Poland’s sensitive geopolitical location as a buffer between central Europe and Russia, noting “Russia’s imperial ambitions” and the “hybrid warfare” waged by Lukashenko’s Belarus in the form of...

There is a curious story out this weekend on reported FBI raids of writers or associates of Project Veritas, the conservative investigative journalism outfit. Project Veritas has been described variously as “Gonzo” or “guerilla” journalism and some insist it is more of a political than a press organization. However, it fits the definition of journalism, in my view, and that makes the raids troubling. All the more troubling is the cause: the missing diary of President Biden’s daughter Ashley. [Update: The FBI reportedly also raided O’Keefe’s home] The New York Times reported that the FBI searched two locations in New...

Republicans closely aligned with former President Donald Trump have threatened to oust the GOP House members who broke with their party to help Democrats pass President Joe Biden's sweeping $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill late Friday. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy had discouraged defectors, urging his caucus before the vote not to assist Biden in delivering on elements of his domestic agenda. Still, 13 House Republicans crossed party lines to vote in favor of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which passed 228-206. With six progressives in revolt, the legislation would not have succeeded if it were not for their support. Eight of...

NBA informed teams today that all players who received the J&J vaccine at least two months ago will be subject to Game Day testing beginning Dec. 1 if they do not receive the additional booster shot.

Following a series of contradictory statements around $450,000 taxpayer payoffs to illegals separated at the border, Joe Biden came out in a finger-pointing rage to let a reporter know that these lawbreakers "deserve compensation." Quickie six-figure payouts send a message to illegals that Uncle Sam is an easy mark, a soft touch, and pretty well inviting them to come on over illegally and try their luck. 'Lost your kids' he rages, as if the Border Patrol can neatly verify that these adults were even related to the kids. Many were not, the adults they were with were either smugglers themselves...

Ireland Baldwin responded to the mass casualty incident that occurred at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival in Houston on Friday. In three posts that the 26-year-old model shared to her Instagram Story on Saturday, Baldwin said that the tragedy was 'not Travis Scott's fault' but added, 'he incites the rage.' The Grudge Match star later deleted the posts, explaining, 'people on the internet are so scary and so misinformed.' Eight people, including a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, died after a deadly crowd surge at the festival, which also left many others injured. In Baldwin's first post, she wrote: 'Y'all are really...

Ever since White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced that she had a case of Covid-19, despite being fully vaccinated, she has been absent from the public spotlight. This week her role was taken by Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who just might be the least credible person on the planet.

Classification: People are divided into "us" and "them" Symbolization: People are forced to identify themselves Discrimination: People begin to face systematic discrimination Dehumanization: People equated with animals, vermin, or diseases Organization: The government creates special groups (police/military) to enforce the policies. Polarization: The government broadcasts propaganda to turn the populace against the group. Preparation: Official action to remove/relocate people begins. Persecution: Beginning of murders, theft of property, trial massacres. Extermination: Wholesale elimination of the group. It is "extermination" and not murder because the people are not considered human. Denial: The government denies that they have committed any crime.

Kind of a NSFW thing but good.

Vice President Kamala Harris asked NASA if it could use its satellites to track trees “by race” in various neighborhoods as part of “environmental justice” during a recent display on climate change, leading many to ridicule the vice president online and even giving rise to a “Black Trees Matter” hashtag.
