Today, New York health care professionals have asked for emergency relief from the U.S. Supreme Court in their lawsuit against Governor Kathy Hochul, Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Howard A. Zucker, and Attorney General Letitia James against the state’s unlawful COVID shot mandate. The health care workers have alternatively also asked the High Court to review the case. The case goes to Justice Sonia Sotomayor for review. The plaintiffs appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. The “Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy” applies to health care workers in...

“Pastors cannot be expected to have the same level of skill, training and experience as professional therapists,” said Walter Kim, president of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE). “Pastors have a shepherding and counseling role to play, but should refer when people need the next layer of care. Pastors should also play a role in minimizing stigma around seeing therapists.” Several evangelical leaders noted that a key challenge for pastors is discerning when they have both the skill and the necessary time to help, and when they should refer. Most leaders indicated that pastors deal well with mental health issues...

The Planner and the Purloiner. I love to plan family events and this year for thanksgiving I almost had my best laid plans purloined! I was in Walmart trying to purchase a smoked ham and so I asked an employee where they were. She began guiding me to the open freezer where they were displayed. She stated “there is one left, I think”. Oh my! I thought, and so I put my scooter on rabbit speed and raced ahead! On the way and almost there I saw a man hurrying towards the freezer too. Oh no! I used my scooter...

Saule Omarova, President Joe Biden’s nominee for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), called during a March 2021 virtual conference to eliminate all private bank accounts and deposits.

During her conference speech, she said, “There will be no more private bank accounts, and all of the deposit accounts...

The Walgreens in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood was temporarily closed this week because of a "severe rat infestation," and the store will not reopen until it passes an inspection, a report from the San Francisco Department of Public Health revealed. Inspectors visited the store at 1333 Castro, near 24th Street, on Nov. 8, and ordered immediate closure of the store due to "imminent health hazards that could not be immediately corrected." A report from the inspector noted that food was "contaminated and/or adultered" by vermin on the sales floor and in an upstairs storage area. "Observed containers of noodles,...

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Another Kansas school district is extending its Thanksgiving break to a full week to give overwhelmed staff a reprieve. The Lawrence Journal-World reports that the school board approved a plan Friday to turn Nov. 22 and Nov. 23 — a Monday and a Tuesday — into wellness and self-care days. Staff already had the rest of the week off. Superintendent Anthony Lewis told the board during the meeting that the time off was needed because faculty and staff were at a breaking point from the stress and other difficulties caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic...

The same couple that was caught on video stealing shopping carts full of laundry detergent and several hundreds of dollars of items from a Connecticut supermarket has now been recorded rolling several large screen TVs out of another store. Police said they have identified at least two of the suspects and linked them to similar crimes across Connecticut and outside the state. Cops are withholding publicly identifying the two suspects because investigations are still ongoing, FOX 61 News reported. The thieves would face only misdemeanor larceny charges because the total value of the stolen goods was between $1,000 and $2,000....

Blues guitarist Robert Cray has dropped out of Eric Clapton’s U.S. tour citing the British guitar legend’s anti-lockdown stance as well as his public opposition to coronavirus vaccine mandates. In an interview with the Washington Post, Cray said he backed out from a tour with Clapton after the latter released a song last year comparing lockdowns to slavery. The song in question is “Stand And Deliver,” a joint release with fellow sceptic Van Morrison that saw Clapton sing: “Do you wanna be a free man / Or do you wanna be a slave? / Do you wanna wear these chains...

It’s no secret that pandemic-related government policy is driving at least some of the inflation currently being experienced in the United States. Indeed, real disposable income per capita has deviated from a linear trend in a meaningful way since 2020. The recent “breakout” in real disposable income was on top of the (much smaller) juicing provided by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2018, so it’s fair to say households have been feeling flush for some time now. As we will get to shortly, flush households mean more consumer spending. More consumer spending drives prices higher, especially when supply...

I have discovered some extremely concerning findings in the Pfizer Phase I-II-III clinical trial data. The Sepsis death rate in the 21,926 double vaccinated group of the Pfizer Phase III Clinical trial was twenty-one times higher than normal, and the Cardiovascular death rate was two times higher than normal. This strongly indicates that the Pfizer Covid-19 injection does in fact cause a new form of ‘acquired immunodeficiency syndrome’, as has been suggested by a mountain of data available from the UK Health Security Agency, because sepsis is caused by failure of the immune system.By a concerned reader Here is the...

In an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) brushed off host Joe Scarborough’s concern that soaring inflation and supply chain problems “raise questions about the president’s competence” and insisted that “Biden has done a great job on the economy.” “Inflation is caused by consumers spending too much money on things they don’t really need,” McCaskill said. “Ordinary people are unable to perceive the genius behind the president’s plan. The supply chain problems are specifically designed to help combat consumer-caused inflation. Namely, if the merchandise can’t be unloaded, consumers can’t buy it.” “Well what about gas prices?”...

To fully appreciate “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, one must read it in conjunction with passages from other books of the Bible. Specifically, but not exclusively, Scriptures found in Daniel, Zechariah, Ezekiel, and various verses found in the New Testament. I also believe having an understanding of world history, economics, and politics is a must to get a proper perspective of the end times. However, even with all these tools at ones disposal we find no shortage of opinions as to what these visions of John represents. A quick search on Google shows that there are almost 100 million sites...

Believe it or not, the Italian, who had been on house arrest, urged the police to put him behind bars instead of letting him stay with his wife as “home life has become a hell”.

Will McGee was just shy of getting his high school diploma before he gunned down. "They just took a good kid. My baby," said his mother, Larena Lillard. "They just took a good kid. My baby. And if we keep allowing it, it'll be somebody else's son." "He made everybody smile by the way he act, or who he met," said his older sister, Daisy McGee. "Everybody loved him! And it's just crazy that so many people loved him!" McGee was on East 98th Street just off of South Drexel Avenue Thursday afternoon when police say someone targeted him a...
