Their goal is a global dictatorship – and Covid is their first weapon. If this fails, and it looks like it will, next weapon is their fake Climate Change attack. But for now, they move on Coronavirus with their fake science. They follow the same steps. Blue-Democrat controlled cities and states will be tested within weeks – so either resist 100% or get out of NY and California and Illinois fast. Australia, then Austria (with only 64% unvaccinated) – here we go…

In April 2021, the Brookings Institution publicly confirmed that Special Counsel John Durham had subpoenaed records from the D.C.-based left-wing think tank in December 2020. The friendly reporters at Time magazine framed the subpoena as limited to the decades-old employment record of former Brookings staffer Igor Danchenko. Last week’s indictment of Danchenko, however, provides a perfect reminder that Brookings was ground zero for the Russia collusion hoax, with many key staff embroiled in the damaging lie that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election.

Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome said Saturday on Fox News Channel’s “Unfiltered” that riots are the oppressed lashing out before he stormed out of the interview after refusing to condemn violence. When asked to condemn rioting, Newsome said, “As Dr. King said, riots are the voice of the unheard. It is a natural occurrence that people can continue to be oppressed. They will lash out. That’s it.” He added, ‘The Boston Tea Party was a riot.” Bongino responded, “Do you condemn riots and burning down buildings?” Newsome said, “No. What I’ll say is, I understand when a police officer...

The only body recovered after the nation's greatest maritime disaster has been identified 80 years after HMAS Sydney was sunk in a World War II naval battle. All 645 officers and crew aboard the Sydney were lost when she was attacked during World War II by the German raider Kormoran off the coast of Western Australia. The action on November 19, 1941 in which both vessels were sunk remains the most grievous loss in the history of the Royal Australian Navy. The wrecks of HMAS Sydney and HSK Kormoran were not found until 2008, solving one great mystery, and now...

Gavin Newsom was MIA for so long that people were ready to put his face on a milk carton. Nobody knew what was going on. Newsom got his COVID booster shot and then *bam* he vanished for almost 2 weeks. He missed his precious Climate Summit and the only thing his office said was that he was fulfilling “family obligations.” Gavin claims he wanted to spend “Halloween” with his kids. Um, it took 2 weeks to spend “Halloween” with his kids? Well, today, Gavin made his big “comeback” and it was bizarre and downright creepy. Gavin looks to me like...

“The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain” (Proverbs 15:19).

What if Donald Trump has to fight a grudge match against Liz Cheney and Chris Christie on his way to a second term? This scenario is probably more likely than you might think—one with significant consequences. Both Cheney and Christie are tough pugilists, and both are in the news flirting with a presidential run. In a sense, they are already running against him. This past week, Cheney traveled to Manchester, New Hampshire, and delivered a “standing ovation” speech that was interpreted by CNN as “testing the waters” for a presidential bid. During the speech, she staked out conservative ground criticizing...

An earlier draft of the agreement called to phase out all coal as an energy source.The change...

p>OTTAWA—As the Liberal government prepares to unfurl its policy on next-generation mobile networks, global security experts say all signs point to the exclusion of Chinese vendor Huawei Technologies from the long-awaited blueprint. The development of 5G, or fifth-generation, networks will give people speedier online connections and provide vast data capacity to meet ravenous demand as more and more things link to the internet and innovations such as virtual reality, immersive gaming and autonomous vehicles emerge.The opposition Conservatives have long pressed the Liberals to deny Huawei a role in building the country’s 5G infrastructure, saying it would allow Beijing to spy...

North Dakota has become the latest state to ban critical race theory (CRT) from being taught in its public schools.On Nov. 12, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, a Republican, signed House Bill 1508 into law a day after the one-page measure was overwhelmingly approved by both chambers of the Republican-majority state legislature.

Early this year, as Japan’s coronavirus cases began another ominous rise, the country seemed determined to confirm its reputation as a vaccine backwater. Held up by additional clinical trials, its Covid-19 vaccine rollout lagged behind that of the UK and other countries by several months. And when it finally started offering shots in February, doses were administered at an achingly slow pace, beginning with medical staff and older people. Tens of millions of others were convinced they would have to wait many months before coming within arm’s reach of a health worker’s needle. But today, Japan ranks among the most...

We’ve seen some high profile people like Joe Rogan tout the benefits of monoclonal antibody treatment.Some have been raising a question over the past day or so about the criteria it takes to get the treatment for COVID, after reports that treatment facilities allegedly were using race as one possible qualifier to get the treatment in Texas. One report allegedly involved the Texas Health and Human Services Infusion Hotline.The reason is that some medical facilities are making being Hispanic/black as one of the things that qualifies you to get the monoclonal antibody treatment. Here’s a list from one medical center...

1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.

This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject...
