Michigan issued a new mask advisory on Friday ahead of the holiday season as COVID-19 cases are surging in the state. The advisory, effective immediately, says anyone above the age of two should wear a mask at indoor gatherings, regardless of their vaccination status. Public establishments should be implementing mask policies and people who are unvaccinated or immunocompromised should avoid crowds, according to the advisory put forth by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) stated that when she saw the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case throwing out smaller charges against Rittenhouse that “completely took the pathway, I think, to the conviction of anything further than that.” And that “as a black person, I probably am seeing what a fair trial looks like in some sort of twisted way.”

Radiant calorimetry of excess heat production in NiCu multilayer foil with hydrogen gas J. Kasagi 1 , T. Itoh1,2, Y. Shibasaki 2 , T. Takahashi 2 , M. Saito2 and Y. Iwamura1 1 Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University, Japan 2 Clean Planet Inc., Japan E-mail: kasagi@lns.tohoku.ac.jp It is shown in the NEDO project [1,2] that a nano-structured composite metal with hydrogen gas produces anomalous excess heat (AEH) when samples are heated to several hundred degrees. We have developed more convenient heat-generating method [3], using a multilayer composite metal thin film instead of the amorphous metal powder....

The Job Creators Network (JCN), a business advocacy group, has filed a notice with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals—which is hearing all legal challenges to President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement—and sent a letter to the president saying the group expects the White House to comply with a court decision to freeze the mandate. “We expect the White House to respect and listen to the judiciary rather than barnstorming ahead and bullying businesses to comply with this rule whose legal fate is in serious jeopardy,” JCN wrote in the Nov. 19 letter to Biden (pdf). “We expect the White...

[H/T Volunbeer]The Harvard study showed vaccination makes things worse as far as cases goes. This new study from German shows that the more you vaccinate the more people get killed. Not a surprise to me.Steve Kirsch11 hr ago9731 I just got a new study from a friend in Germany (Max Langen).What this new German study shows is: The higher the vaccination rate, the higher the excess mortality.I can’t say I’m surprised.

1 After being with her all evening, the man couldn’t take another minute with his blind date. Earlier, he had secretly arranged to have a friend call him to the phone so he would have an excuse to leave if something like this happened. When he returned to the table, he lowered his eyes, put on a grim expression and said “I have some bad news. My grandfather just died.” “Thank heavens,” his date replied. “If yours hadn’t died, mine would have had to!” h/t Grouchy Old Cripple ------ 2 Two doctors and an HMO manager died and lined up...

“Man is born free but everywhere is in chains.”—Jean-Jacques Rousseau This COVID-19 pandemic has shifted us into high gear. The heavy-handed collusion between the Techno-Corporate State and the U.S. government over vaccine mandates is merely the latest manifestation of the extent to which fascist forces are working to overthrow our constitutional republic and nullify the rights of the individual. In early November 2021, the Biden Administration drew its line in the sand for more than 100 million American workers: get vaccinated against COVID-19 (by Nov. 22 for federal workers and Jan. 4 for federal contractors and companies with more than...

I’m a 26-year-old black New Yorker and I believe in supporting what’s right. That’s why I can’t be silent about Vice President Kamala Harris anymore. Along with 90 percent of black voters, I pulled the lever for Joe Biden in 2020, partly because Harris was on the ticket, and I had high hopes for our first black, female vice president. But now they’re fading fast.

Based on True Fiction. Stats and Political leaders react to Rittenhouse Verdict: Alec Baldwin said, I feel like shooting somebody! Al Sharpton said, those no good Jew bastards did this. Joe Biden said, he was carrying torches, and it was horrible, he lynched those poor black people. Hunter Biden said, I’m just glad the big guy is in the White House for 36 more payments, I mean months. Barack Obama said, for all too long, white people have defended themselves in this country. Hillary Clinton said, I’ve come too f-a-r to see Wisconsin justice, let’s send in my FBi. Bill...

Italian epidemiologist Pier Luigi Lopalco has recommended that vaccinated Italians shun the unvaccinated at Christmas, saying they should not invite them to their homes for Christmas dinner. Lopalco, who serves as a Professor of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine at the University of Pisa, stated that fully vaccinated Italians should privately enforce their own version of the country’s vaccine passport, known as the Green Pass, at Christmas gatherings. “I call it the Green Pass for small social circles. If it is an invite from me, the unvaccinated do not enter. If I am the guest, I make sure that the guests...

Saule Omarova, President Biden's nominee to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, is having her fitness for the office questioned by GOP Senators. On the one hand, there was her "we want them to go bankrupt" comment about the the oil and gas industry in the U.S. Or maybe it's her membership in the Facebook group "Marxist Analysis and Policy," which describes itself as "for socialism and against capitalism." Or perhaps it was her arrest for shoplifting in 1995. Presidential Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended Omarova, saying that "the President has full confidence in this nomination. Professor...

In Austria where a new nationwide lockdown is coming into force protesters on the streets today as part of the Worldwide Day of Freedom. In the Netherlands today the protest in Amsterdam cancelled after last night's violence in Rotterdam with two protesters shot and wounded by police. But a protest in the southern Netherlands in Breda set to go ahead. Commentary: What we saw in Rotterdam last night another manifestation of left-wing elements doing a "January 6th" style demonization of anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine mandate protests. The effect of the anarchists presence on the streets during non-violent protest serves to discredit...

The Greek government has announced that unvaccinated residents will be banned from all indoor public spaces in a supposed effort to stem the surge of new Chinese coronavirus cases. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis laid out the new restrictions on the unvaccinated this week in a televised address to the Greek people, saying that as of November 22nd, unvaccinated residents will be barred from all indoor public spaces, including cinemas and gyms. Previously, unvaccinated people were able to gain access to such areas by presenting a negative test for the Wuhan virus, yet the new measures will scrap the validity...

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said a limit of 30 litres of fuel per visit to a gas station is an important step to maintaining the supply as the province works to bring in more gas by truck and barge from Alberta, Washington state, Oregon and California. He said the order would apply for 10 to 11 days and he trusts that people won’t...

Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted today. Anyone who paid even a modicum of attention to the trial could not come away without concluding that Rittenhouse acted in self defense. The verdict enraged the left wing media but more, it revealed the searing hatred some have of all things white. All day the left wing lunatics struggled mightily to inject racism into something that was not racist. All four of those involved were white. As you will see, MSNBC and CNN had countless numbers of people believing that Kyle Rittenhouse randomly shot three black men. As you will see, MSNBC and CNN...
