The unimaginable has occurred. Kyle Rittenhouse, the admitted killer of two men and maimer of a third, has been acquitted on all counts. On Aug. 25, 2020, Rittenhouse armed himself with a borrowed AR-15-style assault rifle loaded with full metal jacket armor-penetrating ammunition and marched into downtown Kenosha, Wis., during a third night of protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man. Blake was left partly paralyzed after a white police officer shot him seven times in the back outside an apartment complex in Kenosha two days before.

Thirty-third Week in Ordinary Time Luke 20:27-40 Friends, today’s Gospel reports a conversation Jesus had with some of the Sadducees, who held that there is no life after death. We could practically hear their speech on the lips of secularists today. But Jesus is having none of it. The dead shall indeed rise, he says. Otherwise, how could Moses have spoken of God as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, all of whom were long dead by Moses’ time? But their risen existence, though in continuity, even bodily continuity, with what has gone before, will be transformed, transfigured, raised...

Maria Butina, a Russian national who pleaded guilty to conspiracy and acted as an unregistered foreign agent in the US, denied this week that her new seat in Russia's parliament is a gift. "It's not a reward," Butina told the New York Times in a new interview. "I wasn't a spy. I wasn't working for the government. I was just a civilian." "If I had known that I have to register to build peace between the two nations by my own initiative, I would have loved to," she added.

Unlike the United States, the European Union is very transparent about the number of adverse effects and fatalities from people who were vaccinated and the numbers are staggering. According to their reports through November 13th, they had 30,551 fatalities and 1,163,356 people who had adverse reactions to the vaccines. The European Union had 448 million people in 2020 compared to 331 million in the United States. You do the math on this.

The crown jewel of Henry VIII’s 16th century fleet was its flagship, the venerable Mary Rose. More than 500 years after its launch, the vessel remains a precious cultural treasure. Though she ploughed the Atlantic and battled with her heavy cannons for 34 years – and laid buried beneath the turbulent English Channel for 437 more, bacteria and chemicals have begun eating away at her remnants, on display at the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth, England. Thankfully, the ship’s conservators have received a helping hand.A new X-ray method has allowed an international team of researchers to identify zinc-sulfide nanoparticles in...

This story is about money and an alarming paper by Biden’s nominee Saule Omarova. For quite a while, we’ve been all discussing different aspects of the Great Reset and the treacherous plan to use the “happy” language of “public good” and “sustainable development” to push through an all-encompassing power grab by the largest institutional investors and the richest people of the world. The end result of the power grab would be a fully mechanized society where the citizens’ bodies and minds are invaded by tech, managed by AI, and ultimately serve the financial and emotional interests of the self-appointed mad...

Archaeologists have unearthed a bone workshop and an oil lamp shop in an ancient city in western Turkey. The excavations at Aizanoi, known as the "Second Ephesus" and home to the best-preserved Zeus Temple in Anatolia, are being carried out by the Kütahya Museum Directorate. Gökhan Coşkun, the excavation coordinator from Kütahya Dumlupinar University, told Anadolu Agency that they are working in areas that have never been excavated before.

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.”

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...

Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., posted on Twitter: "Today is a great day for the Second Amendment and the right to self-defense. Kyle Rittenhouse is not guilty on all counts! Glory to God!" Donald Trump Jr. tweeted: "The Rittenhouse jury just gave [President Joe] Biden his second colonoscopy of the day."

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.

“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...
