WASHINGTON, D.C.—The White House has set aside a special seat for "honored guest" Peter Doocy of Fox News, Jen Psaki confirmed Monday. Doocy was concerned, however, when he realized the "seat of honor" was positioned directly under a precariously dangling piano. "Um, Press Secretary Psaki, do you think I could get a different seat?" Doocy asked, looking up worriedly. "I'm pretty sure there is a massive grand piano directly above me." A smiling Psaki assured him there was no piano and that he was "perfectly safe." "We'll circle back to your question," she said while making a "cutting" motion with...

1. A common method of sperm retrieval (masturbation with the assistance of pornography) involves a violation of the sixth commandment (Matthew 5:28; Colossians 3:5; Exodus 20:14). 2. Many ethical and practical issues are the same here as with surrogate parenting. A review of surrogate parenting material would be appropriate. 3. Sperm banks raise valid social and legal concerns re: paternal rights, the rights of children to know their parents, transmission of diseases, and a checkered past of mismanagement resulting in mistaken insemination of sperm. I reject the argument that sperm banks presume for humans the authority of God. The role...

We have entered a new and acute phase of a long-running political development in the U.S. toward increasing executive power. The Presidential Office, via the CDC and other executive agencies, along with numerous state governors and local officials, have essentially served the role of Roman Dictator or Soviet Politburo since Spring 2020, using emergency powers and the authority of expertise to cow other American political officials and citizens into compliance. We don’t even take care to speak of “executive orders” anymore; news reports increasingly refer to “mandates,” “proclamations,” or just plain “orders,” as if these were the normal products of...

A Michigan township said schools would be closed on Monday after several staff members had a "negative reaction" to the COVID-19 booster shot. Saginaw Township Community Schools posted an announcement on the homepage of its website , noting that, due to being understaffed, schools in its district would be closed on Monday, affecting after-school programs and child care. "A large number of our staff had a negative reaction to the COVID booster shot given at a voluntary clinic over the weekend," the notice said. "There is a substitute teacher/staff shortage throughout the state, further complicating the availability to cover those...

A federal court on Monday declined to block the White House’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates for federal government employees and military service members. In a 41-page memorandum opinion, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly denied emergency relief sought by several avowedly “devout” Christians who have argued that being forced to take the vaccine would compromise their “closely held religious beliefs.” The Washington, D.C.-based judge’s decision to rule against the numerous plaintiffs in the case, some of whom are members of the U.S. Marine Corps, however, is largely a product of their own recent victories against the Biden administration in the exact same...

Once Abhimanyu Mishra and his father bought one-way tickets to get them from Englishtown, N.J. to Budapest, there was no turning back. The pandemic was still raging, but that tiny pathogen didn’t stop the countdown clock separating a 12-year-old boy known as Abhi from history. Mishra was on a mission to become the youngest ever chess grandmaster. “It was very scary and we knew it was a big risk,” Abhi said. “But we needed more tournaments. We had to try it.” For 77 days over the summer, Abhi and his father Hemant lived out of a Hungarian hotel room that...

Video showing that Pfizers new anti-viral drug is virtually the same as Ivermectin. And interestingly they have research that their version of ivermectin works against COVID but they have no research that the real ivermectin works. Of course the real Ivermectin costs 10 cents a pill outside the US.

People who spread misinformation on Covid-19 vaccines are “criminals” and have cost “millions of lives,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Tuesday. Speaking with Washington D.C.-based think tank Atlantic Council, Bourla said there is a “very small” group of people that purposefully circulate misinformation on the shots, misleading those who are already hesitant about getting vaccinated. “Those people are criminals,” he told Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe. “They’re not bad people. They’re criminals because they have literally cost millions of lives.” Bourla’s comments come as millions of eligible adults in the U.S. have yet to get vaccinated even though the shots...

Former President Trump told Fox News in an exclusive interview that he hasn't spoken to President Biden recently. Trump added that if he "could help" the country, he would, but any outreach would be contingent on Biden and Democrats shifting their focus, he said.

Doctors gather at summit to warn against vaccinating childrenFollowing the CDC’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine for young children, scientists and physicians at a summit in Florida warned against a rush to vaccinate a population with very little chance of severe infection from the coronavirus.The Florida Summit on Covid in Ocala on Saturday addressed three big questions, reported Mary Beth Pfeiffer for TrialSite News. Do young children need vaccination against COVID? Are the vaccinations safe? Are unvaccinated children a threat to adults?On each question, the physicians and researchers challenged the federal government’s conclusions, pointing to studies and data.Dr. Robert Malone,...

...It’s episode six, “Gganbu,” that hits the hardest. That’s the one where the story puts its characters through their most savage tests yet, pitting friends and allies against each other. When the players are asked to choose partners, their first instinct is to choose their favorite person. They don’t know they will come to regret it later. When the game’s rules are announced, the players learn the harsh truth: The two partners are competing against each other, and whoever loses the game will be “eliminated.” Inside Syria’s infamous Sednaya prison, I lived through the real-life version of this episode. The...

OAKLAND, Calif. - As the community mourns the tragic death of a nearly 2-year-old boy, killed by a stray bullet on Interstate 880 in Oakland, the California Highway Patrol offered even more sobering statistics: There have been 76 freeway shootings in Alameda County in the last 12 months.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Democrats are thrilled after new polling data revealed Biden's approval rating is 38% and Kamala Harris's approval rating is 28%, which when combined, adds up to a combined approval rating of 66%. "Biden and Harris are a great team," said Psaki to reporters. "Especially when they come together to add up their approval ratings. 66%! Wow! That's a really good number!" Experts are pointing to Biden's stellar performance on the economy, his confident leadership, and mathematical addition as reasons why his combined approval rating with Kamala is so high. "We think it's safe to say our country is in...

Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in Paris on Tuesday and was transported from the fossil-fuel powered Air Force Two to a huge motorcade ahead of meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and other world leaders. “VP Kamala Harris’s police-escorted 20-some vehicle motorcade cruised from the airport past the Eiffel Tower and through the Place de la Concorde,” a Bloomberg reporter tweeted.

Former Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) has fielded phone calls from GOP officials in North Carolina and Washington urging him to drop his Senate bid and return to the House. Walker confirmed the calls in an interview with the Carolina Journal, though he said that he is still currently running for the GOP nomination to replace retiring Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) next year. Walker is one of three current or former Republican elected officials vying to replace Burr. He announced his campaign late last year, though what little polling there is in the GOP primary shows him trailing his two top...

Why purge the police, allow Antifa & BLM to act as the brownshirts of the Democrat Party without prosecuting them, compile gigantic lists of everyone with a gun and confiscate guns during an emergency (Hurricane Katrina) and make villains of people who try to defend themselves & their families? Break down civil order, to impose tyranny?

Imagine if Trump’s FBI had raided The New York Times … for any reason. Let alone over an explosive diary left somewhere by, oh, Ivanka Trump accusing her father and family of all manner of sick behavior. Imagine they were raided, despite The New York Times not running the diary because they couldn’t independently verify it was legit. The uproar would be deafening. And the media would have every right to be enraged.Except today they are silent. Because the target was Project Veritas … and the diary belonged to Ashley Biden, Joe Biden’s daughter. Last week, Project Veritas reporters and...

DC is broken and just isn’t getting the job done for New Hampshire. Don Bolduc won’t let special interests or partisan politics get in the way of my new mission, serving as your United States Senator. *** As Americans, we are protected under the constitution to bear arms. I have seen firsthand what can happen when people are unable to protect themselves or their families. The federal government must defend the constitution, not adjust it to suit political ideology. Border security and illegal immigration are about national security Our current representation has failed to come together and develop an effective...
