Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in a wide-ranging interview that aired Sunday said the political attacks against him are nothing more than "nonsense" and "noise." "So anybody spins lies and threatens and all that theater that goes on with some of the investigations and the congressional committees and the Rand Pauls and all that other nonsense, that's noise," Fauci said during an appearance on CBS News' "Face the Nation." Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican, in October called for Fauci to be fired, claiming he lied to Congress about US-funded...

Prince Charles: (00:01) Your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us just how devastating a global cross border threat can be. Climate change and biodiversity loss are no different. In fact, they pose an even greater existential threat to the extent that we have to put ourselves on what might be called a war like footing. Having myself had the opportunity of consulting many of you over these past 18 months, I know you all carry a heavy burden on your shoulders and you do not need me to tell you that the eyes and hopes of...

With each new exposure of mainstream media lies it becomes harder and harder for even liberals to not admit that he’s right. [ 5 min vid ]

Disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s approach to the pandemic was largely fueled by politics and preserving his own ego rather than actual science, according to a new report. Former state health officials described the Cuomo administration as a "frantic" environment where public health experts "were not just overruled, but constantly responding to Cuomo's ‘ridiculous demands’ that were expected to take precedence," Politico reported Friday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) - Ivermectin, a drug that treats parasite infestations, is being studied at Vanderbilt as a possible treatment for COVID-19. **SNIP** Vanderbilt is participating in a national study on several treatments. In addition to ivermectin, they're also researching fluticasone, a nose spray for allergies commonly known as Flonase, and fluvoxamine. "It’s one of the older anti-depressants that have been out there a very long time," Goyal said. Fluvoxamine could have an anti-inflammatory effect according to the National Institutes of Health. Beth Winslow is vaccinated, had her booster shot, and still got COVID-19. She decided to enroll in the...

“For it is correct to take care of the young first, so that they will be the best possible, just as a good farmer properly takes care of the young plants first, and after this of the others as well.”--Socrates in Plato’s EuthyphroOver the course of the last eighteen months, parents around the country have been showing up to school board meetings to express their concerns about a wide range of topics, including dissatisfaction with COVID-related school closings, remote learning, vaccine and mask mandates, and, most importantly, with the teaching of Critical Race and Gender Theory in the government schools....

It’s sad that lately I’ve had to so often quote Mark Twain’s famous truthful statement, “It is easier to fool the people, than to convince them they have been fooled.”This, more than anything else, is why this article will be labeled by the “fact-checkers” (aka the false-narrative-reinforcers) as misleading or even outright fake news. With billions of people worldwide having fallen for the Covid-19 “vaccine” con, it will take something catastrophic (God forbid) for the truth to finally come out. We’ve seen clear facts, unambiguous data, and trustworthy studies that have demonstrated three things beyond a shadow of a doubt:The...

A 31-year-old woman in Australia has been charged with arson after she set fire to the COVID-19 quarantine hotel where she was staying on Sunday morning, authorities said.

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...

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...
