From L-R, NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, and NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins has warned it may take weeks before scientists ascertain the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines against the new omicron variant, which could be more contagious and have more mutations than the other strains. “We do know that this is a variant that has a lot of mutations — like 50 of them, and more than 30 of those in the spike protein, which is the part of the virus that attaches to your...

Former New York Mets star Lenny Dykstra blasted left-wing, anti-gun activist David Hogg Sunday after the youngster tweeted that he is chagrined over the homelessness problem in Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of Harvard University. Hogg, who has become a left-wing hero for his constant woke posts on Twitter, won himself a place at prestigious Harvard even though at 1270, his SAT scores wouldn’t seem to merit his inclusion there — Harvard usually doesn’t even consider applicants unless they have a 1460 SAT or higher. And on Sunday, the anti-gun teen posted a tweet about how he often sees homeless people as...

It turns out that the Billion-Dollar King of Abortion’s philanthropic organization gave close to $200 million to just one extremist abortion group that prides itself as being the “professional association of abortion providers.” Warren Buffett’s Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation gave at least a whopping $196,388,893 between 2003 and 2020 alone to the National Abortion Federation (NAF), according to Foundation Directory Online data. NAF boasts that its mission is to “unite, represent, serve, and support abortion providers in delivering patient-centered, evidence-based care.” It also states that it “provides direct services to patients who need help accessing abortion care.” In addition, NAF...

With a younger generation increasingly focused on the problem of rising global temperatures, prominent environmental activist and author Bill McKibben is launching a new grassroots movement to mobilize older Americans to combat climate change and to work on related social justice issues.

We’ve been keeping track of plant-based meat alternatives for a while now. This year, vegan chicken offerings have sprung up big time, and overall, the momentum has felt strong. But now, the Financial Times reports that sales of plant-based meat are starting to fall. This might come as a surprise given the wild amount of choices at grocery stores these days, but it turns out that variety might actually be part of the problem. A data group called SPINS found that in the four weeks prior to October 3, sales of vegan meat substitutes dropped 1.8% as compared to 2020....

An experimental chewing gum could reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a recent study published in the journal Molecular Therapy. You might already have noticed headlines calling the findings "fresh hope" in our fight against COVID-19. But how excited should we be? And would this gum work against omicron, the newest variant of concern? Evidence shows people infected with SARS-CoV-2 have high levels of virus in their saliva. So researchers in the US wanted to investigate whether a specially designed chewing gum could reduce the amount of virus in the mouth, and therefore potentially...

Editor’s Note: Stories like these infuriate me, but this one in particular is exceptionally angering because it depicts the worst-case-scenario. A man was forced to choose between certain death over mandates or risk of death from experimental jabs. The fact that he already had Covid makes it even more saddening. Here’s Megan’s article…A 49-year-old Texas man who recovered from COVID — but was required to be fully vaccinated against the virus before being approved for a life-saving lung transplant — died when he developed a pulmonary embolism and heart issues after his second Moderna vaccine. In an exclusive Interview with...

“Do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:17). God’s will is revealed in His Word. How can a Christian walk wisely and know the will of God for his life? The will of God is explicitly revealed to us in the pages of Scripture. God’s will is that we be: Saved—“This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:3-4; compare 2 Peter 3:9). Spirit-filled—“Do not be foolish, but understand what the...

BOSTON — Massachusetts is partnering with as many as 20 other states in an effort to create a shared digital system through which residents can prove their COVID-19 vaccination status. Gov. Charlie Baker spoke about the development effort Monday during a radio interview. He explained the plan centers around a QR code — a digitally encoded pattern designed to be scanned from a device — that residents can display on a smartphone. Those codes could be scanned by businesses, venues or others to verify vaccination status.

Why are so many jobs going unfilled? Where are all the workers?As my PJ Media colleague Chris Queen reported on Saturday, “there are 10 job openings for every seven people seeking work” in America. But whyM even with offers of higher pay and better benefits, aren’t more workers getting off the couch and getting to work? The answer may lie in a complicated mixture of COVID fear, apathy, and financial pragmatism.A new report by the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) found that even though the pandemic is waning in most states, most states’ pandemic welfare benefits are now so generous...

While former President Donald Trump has yet to formally announce a 2024 White House bid, he’s already stoking speculation about potential running mates — all of whom, he claims, are “begging” to be on the ticket, according to a new report. Politico, citing interviews with a dozen Trump advisers and associates, reported that the 45th president will largely choose his campaign sidekick based on two factors: unconditional loyalty, and support for Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats. “They’ll have to denounce what happened in 2020,” former Trump campaign staffer Michael Caputo told the outlet. “If...

Hillary Clinton just won’t go away. Not only will she not go away, but she also seems to believe that we care what she thinks about the state of politics today.She began her conversation with the jewel in MSNBC’s crown by talking about the fact that America needs “boundaries” and “guardrails” these days. She and Maddow talked about Jan. 6 (of course), and Clinton blamed technology for the problems facing our society today — which really means people who don’t agree with her:But what we’ve seen sadly in the last several years is not new in our history because it...

Would anyone be interested in a meetup in Denver? I am interested in meeting like minded people in medical freedom. The net is getting tighter and tighter for us. I am thinking of this Sunday at 2 pm at Union Station. You don't have to introduce your real name or handle at all if you are not comfortable.

Joe Robinette Biden is now considered by many Americans to be one of the worst presidents in modern U.S. history. Biden is so toxic that voter's remorse now covers the land like a wet blanket of dense fog. We wake up every morning, drop down to our knees and pray for a miracle to wake us from this nightmare, to end our misery and to restore justice in our land. That's a fact Jack! Biden remains clueless that his horrible Executive Orders and absence of intelligent leadership are destroying not only our country but also his own legacy. Every morning...
