I would like to a prayer request to those threatened by the vaccine mandates. May they find a way to avoid them. If they are forced out of a job, may they find a new one quickly. In the long term, may these illegal mandates be overturned. For those who are forced to take them, may they be safe from harm. On a personal note, I was able to get my exemption. But, I have been suffering alot of anxiety since the announcement and I can't turn off the anxiety (PTSD). Please say a prayer for me too. Thank you...

OTTAWA, Ontario (WEWS) Canada's first two cases of the newly identified variant of COVID-19 called "omicron" have been confirmed in Ontario, according to the province's Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Christine Elliott and Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore. On Friday, the World Health Organization categorized the strain that was recently detected in southern Africa as a "variant of concern." The organization said the new variant is potentially more transmissible and could cause more severe disease than other COVID-19 variants.

Former Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the investigations into the Trump Organization by both the Manhattan DA’s office and New York Attorney General Letitia James already had enough evidence of crimes to indict the former president. When asked what stage the investigation is in, Cohen said, “I really try not to talk about it because it’s their investigation, nor do I want to tip off Trump or the Trump Organization’s people about what is actually happening. So I would rather just not answer that specific question, other than to say that you can...

Thousands of protesters gathered in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, to protest new COVID-19 restrictions aimed at combatting the spread of the new omicron variant. Among other things, the Czech government banned the popular Christmas markets and any public consumption of alcohol, such as mulled wine, which Czechs and visitors often drink at such markets.

Between Pandemic Panic Theater and the real threat of the crime wave sweeping across San Francisco, most would assume Mayor London Breed would be burning the midnight oil trying to find solutions to the plethora of problems her constituents face. They would assume this because most do not know the real London Breed, a social justice partier who would never let her city’s problems get in the way of her nightlife.

Summarizing the relationships held by Jefferey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is a troublesome undertaking. It seems far too bizarre a situation for most to ponder. Perhaps that's why assessment of the situation is often relegated to a "wildly irrational conspiracy theory" by those that are unfamiliar with the horrific details of this child sex trafficking operation; traversing the worlds of high finance, elite science, covert intelligence, and international politics. When looking deeper; the specific network held by both Epstein and Maxwell is nothing short of globally impressive and significantly influential. It is important to stay mindful of the history sowed...

Swiss voters have backed the government's measures to tackle Covid, according to preliminary results. More than 60% opposed moves to remove some restrictions, including the Covid vaccination pass. Sunday's referendum came after organisers said the pass was an unnecessary restriction of freedoms. With just under two-thirds of the population fully vaccinated, the Swiss have one of the lowest vaccination rates in Western Europe.

Explanation: This high cliff occurs not on a planet, not on a moon, but on a comet. It was discovered to be part of the dark nucleus of Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko (CG) by Rosetta, a robotic spacecraft launched by ESA that rendezvoused with the Sun-orbiting comet in 2014. The ragged cliff, as featured here, was imaged by Rosetta in 2014. Although towering about one kilometer high, the low surface gravity of Comet CG would likely make it an accessible climb -- and even a jump from the cliff survivable. At the foot of the cliff is relatively smooth terrain dotted with...

Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), uttered a lot of words on Sunday when asked by Fox News' Trace Gallagher about Florida's low Covid-19 numbers despite a lack of lockdowns or mandates. However, unfortunately for him and fortunately for those of us who want to see more people see through these clowns, none of those words had anything to do with answering the actual question. Introducing the topic while filling in for Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday," Gallagher brought up a chart showing vaccination rates and new case percentages in New York, Maine, Michigan,...

Canadian officials announced Sunday that the omicron variant of Covid-19 has reached North America, with two cases appearing in the province of Ontario. A joint statement by top Ontario health officials Christine Elliott and Kieran Moore said two people who had recently been in Nigeria have tested positive for the variant. Contact tracing was being conducted to determine whether others in the country might be positive. The health officials said their strategy is to stop as many omicron cases as possible from entering Canada. "We continue to urge the federal government to take the necessary steps to mandate point-of-arrival testing...

@TrackerTrial You can’t make this stuff up. Crooked James Comey’s daughter, Maurene Comey, was involved in the lost video of Jeffrey Epstein’s first alleged attempted suicide in jail, and now she’s a member of the team prosecuting Epstein’s confidante Ghislaine Maxwell

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Seven patients injured in last weekend’s Christmas parade crash in suburban Milwaukee are still being treated at Children’s Wisconsin after a ninth patient was released Sunday, hospital officials said. The facility originally received 16 patients after the driver of a red SUV roared through the parade in Waukesha, killing six people and injuring more than 60. One patient was released on Friday and another was able to come home for Thanksgiving, officials said. Out of the seven remaining Children’s Wisconsin patients, four are in serious condition, two are in fair condition and one is in good condition,...

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...

A key Democratic panel member on the House Jan. 6 select committee hinted that they "will probably make a decision" this week on whether they will hold former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress. "I think we will probably make a decision this week on our course of conduct with that particular witness and maybe others," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

All adults are to be offered a coronavirus booster jab to help stop the Omicron variant. The vaccines watchdog will today approve third doses for the over-18s, with a Whitehall source saying: 'We want to put the booster programme on steroids.' The moves comes ahead of the introduction tomorrow of fresh virus restrictions, including mandatory facemasks in shops and new rules on self-isolation.

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.
