The Georgian Orthodox Church is among those to blame for the low COVID vaccination numbers among the population, the Georgian president believes. According to Reuters’ COVID-19 Tracker, enough vaccine doses have been administered in Georgia to cover about 27% of the population, assuming every person needs 2 doses. President Salome Zourabichvili believes that the reluctance of many citizens is due to the fact that the Patriarchate of Georgia has not officially supported vaccination, reports Interfax-Religion. In February, the Holy Synod of the Georgian Church decided that it “will not be able to take responsibility for the promotion of vaccination, as...

On this episode of The Resistance Library Podcast, Sam and Dave discuss Veterans Day. Veterans Day, celebrated each year on November 11th, was first celebrated on this same date in 1919, under the name of Armistice Day. The holiday was named in remembrance of the temporary ceasefire that brought about the unofficial end to World War I when, the year before, the Allied forces entered into an armistice with the Germans, stopping live battle on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. A year later, and nearly five months after the official end of...

Omarova also said at the May round table she wants to “starve” companies of money used to invest in the oil and gas industry to combat climate change. She argued for the National Investment Authority to direct money away from the oil and gas industry and towards “clean and green” infrastructure programs. “The way we basically get rid of those carbon financiers is we starve them of their sources of capital,” Omarova said. Omarova was quoted in a 2019 Canadian documentary where she called the financial services sector an “asshole industry.” “The financial services industry, in my view, and I...

"The Five" slammed the Biden administration Tuesday for being "clueless" and ignoring and downplaying the needs of the American people on rising costs of food, oil, and other necessities due to worsening supply chain bottlenecks and rising inflation. [cut] Geraldo Rivera concluded that the Afghanistan debacle was indicative of a wider trend of the Biden White House – getting things done "a-- backward." "I think Afghanistan is very instructive because in Afghanistan, they had good intentions and they did it a---backward," Rivera said. "Instead of evacuating the civilians first, they evacuated the military [and] civilians [got] stuck … The same...

Amman (Agenzia Fides) - The bloody attacks on places of worship that host communities of faith gathered in prayer or while taking part in ritual acts, represent the "summit" of justified atrocities and violence by bringing up "religious" issues. Faced with the continuing of these phenomena, it is necessary to encourage the creation of an interreligious and inter-cultural "global network", which works to protect the sites of worship and all the believers who frequent them, as a contribution to the development of a "common human civilization" nurtured by the recognition and sharing of "common human values". This is the urgency...

With weather issues, supply chain breakdowns, pandemic unemployment worsened by overreaching vax mandates as first responders are put on unpaid leave, forcing firehouses to close, mass exodus of police, gas prices, food price spikes, all of which are contributing to shortages seen from grocery stores to retail shops, we are looking at a disastrous holiday season, which includes Thanksgiving and Christmas. Cities can burn for all these people care, as first responders are once again protecting Americans by standing up for all of our rights, which unfortunately has caused them to walk away until liberal leaders understand, the first responders...

Never again will there be a man like George S. Patton.

We know how this ends: Coronavirus becomes endemic, and we live with it forever. But what we don’t know—and what the U.S. seems to have no coherent plan for—is how we are supposed to get there. We’ve avoided the hard questions whose answers will determine what life looks like in the next weeks, months, and years: When are restrictions lifted? And what long-term measures do we keep, if any, when we reach endemicity?SnipHere are some answers I got from scientific experts: hospitalizations and deaths, but stratified by age and vaccination status; a combination of vaccination rate and local transmission; a...

The world presented to us by our woke masters is a world that is by turns tedious and terrify, both inane and insane, a world run by the inmates of a mental institution. Rod Serling made an entire career out of presenting nightmarish scenarios of a coming world devoid of rational thought in his hit series ‘The Twilight Zone’. Today we live in the twilight zone, and woke Microsoft is proof of that. “A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?” Ecclesiastes 10:14 (KJB)...

These wagers were too rich for the Department of Justice’s blood. A Los Angeles County casino was hit with a hefty fine for failing to properly alert financial regulators and the Internal Revenue Service when a “high roller” walked in with $100 million in cash to bet on games of baccarat. Federal prosecutors say the unnamed whale — who was described only as a Chinese national — made over 100 visits to the Bicycle Hotel & Casino over eight months in 2016, often arriving with duffle bags full of cash to bet on marathon sessions of the high-stakes card game.
