Reviewing a lavish new Hollywood musical in the Sept. 29, 1968, issue of The New Yorker, Pauline Kael wrote, “Barbra Streisand arrives on the screen, in ‘Funny Girl,’ when the movies are in desperate need of her. The timing is perfect.” I’m tempted to say the same thing about Lady Gaga. Suddenly, she’s ruling the movies like no one else this year. ... She’s earning her buzz the old-fashioned way, by giving a performance that has to be seen, in a movie that’s being talked about the way movies used to be talked about... I’ve never claimed to be too...

A newly leaked internal memo from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) shows just how authorities under the Biden administration want to revise the First Amendment and make changes to religious liberty protections under its rights. The leaked memo showed the government’s plans to “sign delegation of authority on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and religion clause of the First Amendment” to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Lankford showed displeasure on these new developments, claiming that it would endanger Americans’ religious liberty protections and disregard the First Amendment. “I am an outspoken...

[H/T Grey_whiskers]Twitter suspended my account (likely forever since there is no appeal) due to one post on prion diseases. Here's the information they wanted to make sure you NEVER find out.Steve KirschNov 26258218 SummaryThere is no doubt the mRNA vaccines are causing prion diseases. People didn’t have these diseases before the shot and suddenly they develop them after the shot. There is no other explanation for this. None of the “fact checkers” can explain the cause of the excess rates. Prion diseases are incurable and always fatal. You can die as soon as 6 weeks after COVID vaccination (see within...

Immigrant from former Soviet nation shocked to find communism growing in America Nov. 27, 2021 - Immigrant from former Soviet nation shocked to find communism growing in America

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that Republicans like Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul criticizing him were “lying” while he is “saving lives.” MARGARET BRENNAN: There’s a congressional act with your name on it, literally. FAUCI: Yes, exactly. And it’s just a lot of- well, anyway — Finish the thought. FAUCI: No- no. There’s a lot of politicization of that, a lot of misinformation, disinformation and outright lies about that. You’re angry about it. FAUCI: My job is to do what I can as a scientist to preserve and protect the health of the American public and in many respects,...

NBC's Chuck Todd challenged President Biden for how he's handled the coronavirus pandemic, particularly in light of the new omicron variant that has prompted the White House to ban travel from several African countries, beginning Monday. Todd, host of "Meet the Press," suggested that omicron, from which most cases were discovered in southern Africa, was not just a health problem. It's a political one as well for the current administration, he argued, flashing back to when Biden "prematurely" declared a sort of victory over the virus on July 4

The Exchange. When Mary had the exchange with the angel of the Lord, He told her the Holy Spirit would overshadow her, and He would somehow bring about a conception and create an embryo with the DNA of a man in her womb! I am amazed at how Jesus would be willing to exchange His place in heaven with the Father to become a man; to become our savior, to come into the world to experience everything we do, to understand us and to pay our debt and make a way for us to be reconciled to the Father when...

Dr. Angelique Coetzee is one of the first doctors in South Africa to have patients with the Omicron variant in their practice. In an interview with the English newspaper “The Telegraph” she reported unusual symptoms. She became aware of the fact that young people were very tired, whereas a small baby had an exceptionally high pulse. In contrast to known variants, no patient would have complained of a loss of smell. “Her symptoms were so different and so mild from those I had previously treated,” said Dr. Coetzee, who has been a general practitioner for 33 years, but also chair...

Members of the far-right Proud Boys group marched through Rockville, LI, over the weekend, storming into stores and disrupting shoppers, according to video and reports. About 20 members of the organization — classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League — took over a street Saturday while clad in black, their faces covered by bandanas, and hoisting “Don’t Tread on Me” flags as they blared rap music from a truck, video shows.

Mathew Crawford just did an analysis showing that the data from the UK shows that the vaccines aren't saving any lives at all. Zero. Zip. Nada. So we're killing over 150K people to save no lives. Wow. My good friend Mathew Crawford is an amazing statistician. He’s one of the smartest people I know. He just published a new analysis on his substack showing that the UK data show that the COVID vaccines aren’t saving any lives at all. It’s all statistical noise as shown in the graph below from his article. Please check it out and if you like...

France is ready for a serious discussion with Britain on issues relating to illegal migration, but will not be held hostage to London's domestic politics, the country's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said. The two countries are already at loggerheads over post-Brexit trading rules and fishing rights and last week relations soured further after 27 people died trying to cross the Channel. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wrote to President Emmanuel Macron setting out five steps the two countries could take to deter migrants from making the perilous journey. One of those - sending illegal migrants back to France - particularly...

Dutch health authorities on Sunday confirmed that 13 airplane passengers returning from South Africa to the Netherlands had tested positive for the omicron COVID-19 variant.

President Joe Biden has said he will run for a second term in 2024 at age 81, but a poll shows that if he does not only 13 percent would support Vice President Kamala Harris. Former first lady Michelle Obama came in as the No. 2 pick at 10 percent. However, neither woman got a majority of support from respondents, with 36 percent saying they were “unsure” who they would support, and 13 percent said they would choose someone who was not on the list.

It looks like Israel may be preparing to launch a preeminent strike against Iran. The Israelie defense minister has announced they are preparing for a war with Iran. There are now reports that Iran has acquired enough enriched uranium for a bomb. This is what happens when America surrenders the mantle of leadership and the antisemitic forces are handed the reigns of power. We are to expect such things in these latter days of prophecy fulfillment.

President Biden commemorated the start to Hanukkah on Sunday as the eight days of festivities for the Jewish holiday commence. “From our family to yours, and from the People’s House to your own homes, Jill and I wish you and your loved ones a Chanukah Sameach, a Happy Hanukkah!” Biden said in a statement.

Chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci speculated that China likely got rid of an intermediary host that carried the COVID-19 virus between bats and humans when officials cleaned out the live animal market where the virus is theorized to have first caused an infection in humans. "It was very likely in a host- what the Chinese did, I don't have firsthand knowledge of that, but the people who were reporting it, who investigated what they did is they cleaned out the markets as soon as it turned out that it was clear that there were clusters coming from the...

Unjustified, discriminatory and not backed up by science. That is how President Cyril Ramaphosa responded to travel bans against Southern African countries after the emergence of the Omicron variant. . . . Countries that have imposed travel restrictions on SA and some Southern African countries include the UK, US, EU members, Canada, Turkey, Sri Lanka, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Japan, Thailand, Seychelles, Brazil and Guatemala.“The prohibition of travel is not informed by science, nor will it be effective in preventing the spread of this variant. The only thing the prohibition on travel will do is to further damage...
