A COVID-fighting coalition heavily funded by Bill Gates has awarded $4.3 million for development of an Israeli variant-proof vaccine in tablet form. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a founder of the Oslo-based Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, and last October committed $20 million to it. CEPI now has a $200 million program to advance vaccine development, and has just announced its first funding awards. MigVax, a poultry vaccine that is being adapted for humans in the Galilee, is one of the two recipients.

The European Commission has accused Belarus's authoritarian leader of luring migrants with the false promise of easy entry to the EU as part of an "inhuman, gangster-style approach". At least 2,000 migrants are now at the Belarus border with Poland. "Upon arrival they are being pushed to the border and forced to make an illegal entry into the European Union," said Commission spokesman Peter Stano. Belarus's leader Alexander Lukashenko denies orchestrating the problem. EU and Nato members Poland, Lithuania and Latvia have all seen a surge in the number of people trying to enter their countries illegally from Belarus in...

European federalists seeking to transform the 27-member European Union into a European superstate -- a so-called United States of Europe -- have revived a decades-old proposal to build a European army. The call for a supranational army, part of a push for Europe to achieve "strategic autonomy" from the United States, is being spearheaded by French President Emmanuel Macron, who, as part of his reelection campaign, apparently hopes to replace outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel as the de facto leader of Europe. Macron claims that Europe needs its own military because, according to him, the United States is no longer...

A source close to Gavin Newsom told The Defender the governor experienced an adverse reaction to the Moderna COVID vaccine he received Oct. 27. A source close to California Gov. Gavin Newsom today told The Defender the governor experienced an adverse reaction to the Moderna COVID vaccine he received Oct. 27. The source, who asked not to be identified, said Newsom’s symptoms were similar to those associated with Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), a known side effect of many vaccines. GBS is a neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks part of its peripheral nervous system — the network...

To be precise, we’re living in BLAZING SADDLES. Biden is President LePetomaine. Merrick Garland is Hedley Lamar. His gang of Dimwits, Nitwits, Halfwits etc., are the current government. The rest of us are the good people of Rock Ridge, waiting for Sheriff Bart to show up and rescue us. Vamanos Brandon!

After an exhaustive study into the details surrounding the oil used to anoint the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) and kings of Israel, the Sanhedrin is moving forward to prepare enough to anoint the Messiah from the House of David who, when he returns, will rule over Israel in the Messianic era. The anointing oil was described in the Bible to be used in the consecration of the Tabernacle: Make of this a sacred anointing oil, a compound of ingredients expertly blended, to serve as sacred anointing oil. Exodus 30:25 (snip) Rabbi Hillel Weiss, the spokesman for the Sanhedrin, announced the...

On Jan. 19, 2021, Pres.-Elect Biden announced that he will seek the appointment of Rachel Levine, a man that wears a bra and identifies as a woman, to serve as Assistant Health Secretary in his administration. It was reported that the nominee, Richard “Rachel” Levine, is a father of two who divorced his wife in 2013 after 30 years of marriage. The father of two children does not become a woman by divorcing his wife, wearing a bra, and letting his hair grow long, but he can become an abomination to God and be given over to a reprobate mind...

The last time anyone outside of Washington noticed alleged Vice President Kamala Harris it was probably on the side of a milk carton. I exaggerate, but not by much. On the rare occasions that Harris does make the news, it’s for all the wrong reasons, like when she unleashes her Kraken cackle when asked even mildly challenging questions. The rest of the time the bootlicking media is happy to keep Vice President AWOL under wraps because what else are they going to do? It’s been a long way down for the woman once touted by her own boss as one-half...

Portland has 1.2 officers per 1000 people. National average in 2020 was 2.4 officers per 1000 people PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The number of Portland Police Bureau sworn officers is the fewest it’s been since 1989. There are currently 788 sworn members combating record shootings and murders, confronting anarchists breaking windows and property, dealing with far left and far right groups squaring off in the city, crime in homeless camps and a rash of stolen cars. Portland, which once proudly called itself “The City that Works” is struggling to keep up with crime. Police staffing numbers in Portland have dwindled...

WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge has ruled that a congressional committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol can access some of former President Donald Trump's White House records. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in the District of Columbia rejected an argument by Trump's lawyers that telephone records, visitor logs and other White House documents should be kept from the committee. Trump had argued that the materials requested by the House of Representatives committee were covered by a legal doctrine known as executive privilege that protects the confidentiality of some White House communications....

And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion. So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men...

As more and more Americans take a stand against Biden’s vaccine mandates, mounting evidence suggests the COVID injections could be even more dangerous than previously thought. One America’s Pearson Sharp has more.

After years of work, shifting lanes, blocked exits and delays, the I-4 Ultimate Construction project is finally almost done. The new system will bring new lanes and tolls, and will offer a road that should be safer and faster. Advertisement Lynden Turnquest works for Truly Nolen, and for more than six years he's weaved his way through construction, hoping for relief, but not betting on it. "Once it opens up and the construction is done it'll be like WOOHOO!!! And then it's back to traffic again," Turnquest said. But how did we get to the point where officials felt we...

Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis got it right when he dubbed the incompetent, incoherent, and cognitively challenged Joe Biden and his team of loonies the “Brandon Administration”, and one of the things that have earned the righteous anger of the American people is the destruction of a supply vain that was the envy of the world. Joe Biden thinks the supply chain is too hard for us deplorables to understand as evidenced by this fabricated and nonsensical story he told recently: What — like, for example, if I had — if we were all going out and having lunch together...

[H/T NumberonePal]Emerald Robinson10 hr ago1218 I passed a car on the road last week with a bumper sticker that made me chuckle. It read: “Critical thinking — the other national deficit.” I’ve been thinking about that bumper sticker a lot lately — ever since my essay “What is Luciferase” (exclusively on Substack) set off a firestorm. The corporate media issued the same blanket denial with the same regurgitated sentences (a cut and paste journalism job if ever there was one!) seemingly around the world: there’s no such ingredient secretly hiding inside the experimental vaccines!Did any of these so-called journalists do...

[Catholic Caucus] Legalism: Francis' Diocese "Forbids" ALL Roman Rite Easter LiturgiesThe Diocese of Rome "prohibited" the Easter Triduum, all sacraments and sacramentals except Mass according to the Roman Rite with an October 7 decree.MessaInLatino.it (November 9) calls the ukase “the worst and most restrictive implementation of Traditionis Custodes.”“It could only come from the diocese of Rome, which from the heart of Christianity has become the epicentre of a senseless war against the Roman liturgy.”Easter is even "forbidden" in the Roman Parish run by the Fraternity of St Peter (FSSP), in Saints Celsus and Julian Basilica entrusted to the Christ the...

During the Rittenhouse trial, the cross-examination of journalist Nathan DeBruin done by Assistant District Attorney James Kraus got personal after a break.

The creation of the Rolls-Royce Small Modular Reactor (SMR) business was announced following a £195m cash injection from private firms and a £210m grant from the government. Small modular reactors are nuclear fission reactors but are smaller than conventional ones. Rolls-Royce SMR said one of its power stations would occupy about one tenth of the size of a conventional nuclear plant - the equivalent footprint of two football pitches - and power approximately one million homes. The firm said a plant would have the capacity to generate 470MW of power, which it added would be the same produced by more...
