Fortunately, the drug companies came to the rescue and developed "miracle" vaccines in record time to save the world from the dreaded COVID-19 scourge of death. Unfortunately, the vaccines didn't work as promised, and fully vaccinated individuals started coming down with COVID-19 – and numerous other variants began popping up. Fortunately, a third booster shot was developed to combat the variants, and everyone gave a huge sigh of relief. Unfortunately, the booster shots turned out to be just a third dose of the original vaccines that gave only temporary protection, wore off after a number of months and didn't prevent...

Back on October 1st, Richmond, Virginia public schools superintendent Jason Kamras followed President Joe Biden’s lead and announced a vaccine mandate for all teachers and staff in his district. Those failing to comply would have their pay withheld and could potentially face the loss of their jobs if they didn’t come into line with the policy. But that was then and this is now. The schools were already struggling to fill more than 100 vacancies, almost all of which were driven by the mandate. This week, on Monday night, the School Board was forced to approve 29 more resignations, so...

Former Pfizer employee Karen Kingston told Dr. Bryan Ardis that the Food and Drug Administration‘s (FDA) emergency use authorization of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine was part of a conspiracy to harm children. She made this claim during the Nov. 3 episode of “The Dr. Ardis Show” on Brighteon.TV. Ardis had strong words for the FDA advisers who voted in favor of allowing the vaccine to be injected into children aged five to 11. “Shame on the FDA committee members who voted yes to inject five- to 11-year-old Americans. I actually am so disgusted. I think you’re all complicit in...

This year has seen the largest increase ever in the number of concealed handgun permit holders—more than two million, for a total of 21.52 million. That is a 48 percent increase since 2016. On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case of NYSRPA v. Bruen, which has a chance to further increase this total and make permitting rules more similar across states. Six states now have more than 1 million permit holders: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Florida is the first state to have more than 2.5 million permits. Alabama has the highest rate of adults with...

Left-wing billionaire George Soros is reportedly backing a new leftist news outlet that openly advocates on behalf of labor unions. The New York Times reported that in “a moment of political turmoil, economic change and a pandemic-driven focus on how we work, labor has become a hot news beat.” Specifically, “[t]he new brand of labor journalism runs the gamut from conventional newspaper reporting to outright advocacy.” The “most ambitious” of the new entrants into this news beat is a video-centric outlet called a More Perfect Union, led in part by socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) former presidential campaign manager and...

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A Russian national who served as a primary source for a dossier of negative research about former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that he lied to the FBI about the legitimacy of his own sources. A judge set an April trial date for Igor Danchenko, a former analyst at the Brookings Institution whose lawyer says he’s being maligned in a deliberately false narrative by people with an agenda. Danchenko’s lawyer, Mark Schamel, said in a statement that the 39-page indictment “presents a false narrative designed to humiliate and slander a renowned expert...

If last week’s election was any indication of how the 2022 midterms will go for Democrats, chances are the party will lose control of one or both chambers of Congress. Rather than moderating, as even the New York Times editorial board advised last week, they’ve chosen to accept their fate and use their remaining time to ram as much of their socialist agenda items through as possible. On Wednesday, Politico reported that the Biden administration is considering shutting down the Line 5 pipeline in Michigan that pumps 540,000 barrels of oil and other petroleum products per day through the Straits...

On Wednesday, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg claimed the child care plan included in President Joe Biden’s so-called “Build Back Better Act” would help solve the ongoing labor crisis. Buttigieg told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “a lot of very respected economists” have predicted solving the child care issue would “ease these labor market pressures” and also inflation.

The director of a new documentary focused on Pete Buttigieg’s 2020 campaign says his film confronts the personal toll running for president takes on White House hopefuls. “What is it like to be a human being and undertake this?” is the central question in “Mayor Pete,” Jesse Moss says. The documentary — filmed over the course of the former South Bend, Ind., mayor’s campaign — premieres on Amazon Prime on Friday.

The White House released a pre-recorded video Tuesday night of Joe Biden making an Oval Office address in which he claims to have saved Christmas and Thanksgiving this year by solving the supply chain crisis “several months ago.” Biden said he spoke with CEO’s of large retailers (and shipping companies) on Tuesday, all of whom he says assured him that everything is much improved. Biden promised Americans that unlike last year they will have what they want for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Despite Biden’s claim to have solved the supply chain problem at the ports several months ago, it was actually...

Germany's state and federal politicians are working to implement new rules to combat COVID-19 as the country's cases surge. The country saw almost 40,000 new cases on Tuesday, marking the third daily case record in just a week, according to The New York Times. New rules have been proposed and will be discussed in Parliament on Thursday but they would not be enacted into law prior to next week and are not as strict as experts have recommended, the Times reported.

Bought by Blood. Jesus, even though He is part of the Godhead, humbled Himself and became a man; obedient even to death on the cross as payment for our sins. As it is written in the Gospel of John, that God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Therefore, God has highly exalted Him and given Him a name above every other name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow. If ever you need to feel valued as an individual person,...

Many suspect the California governor of vaccine injury denial during his unexplained disappearance for nearly two weeks after his booster shot, which some say is more dangerous than the original. Fortunately, a unanimous panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has blocked Biden's nationwide mandate that private employers require Covid vaccination. Sitting in New Orleans, the Fifth Circuit presides over Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Trump-endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton led this latest charge to stop tyranny by Washington, D.C. It has been said that the D.C. Circuit is the most important court other than the...

Joe Biden is not in charge. As I've asserted before, he is but the titular head of government but he is not making the decisions. Now and then in response he blurts something out in response to a question only later to either have Psaki or Karine Jean-Pierre tell us that Biden didn't say what he meant and then they tell us what he did mean. It seems that each day Biden is pumped up with some adrenergic med, programmed what to say, handed some note cards and then pushed out to the stage. Biden was asked why he was...

Come World AIDS Day, December 1, 2021, the United States is expected to have a new National HIV/AIDS Strategy—and an opportunity to show people living with or affected by HIV that the government understands that ending the HIV epidemic is about more than just testing and pills.

Biden told Inskeep to begin the interview, focused on the newly passed $1 trillion “infrastructure bill” that Democrats and RINOs crammed down the throat of the American people. Biden assured Inskeep that his viewers in Ohio and northern Kentucky would see plenty of federal cash for bridges and roads. "Infrastructure projects “are going to be impacted in some way by these global supply chain issues that all of us are being impacted by" Inskeep noted., Biden noted there is indeed a shortage of everything from “foodstuffs” to “semiconductors” before droning on about how he’s gotten port workers to offload ships...

OK, so our college has finally come out with more detail about what to do with their vax mandate. What are your thoughts on this whole thing? How do you handle this demand? Perhaps we should have a general thread about this kind of thing.

I'm in Alabama. A package that originates also in Alabama...just some 300 miles south of me...keeps showing up as 'delayed' in tracking and its a week overdue. Was wondering if its just a FedEx thing or????

A TV news reporter for a CBS affiliate got schooled by Ron DeSantis on Monday when he pressed the Florida governor about a recent joke in which the Republican referred to the Biden administration as "the Brandon administration." "Do you feel that that is the proper level of exchange between a governor and a president?" Jay O'Brien of WPEC-TV in West Palm Beach, Florida, asked DeSantis. "Well, let me ask you how he's treated us. Well, look, I think it's a joke but honestly, one of the reasons why that has taken on is because a lot of your folks...
