Hunter Biden’s therapist and confidant, Dr. Keith Ablow, repeatedly made allusions to Joe Biden having struggled with dementia, according to materials on Hunter’s laptop reported in The Laptop From Hell, a new book by New York Post columnist Miranda Devine. In January 2019, Ablow offered to provide a tongue-in-cheek endorsement for a Joe Biden presidential campaign: “‘Any man who can triumph over dementia is a giant. Think what he could do for our nation’s needed recovery.’ Dr Keith Ablow.” “Perhaps he can help us remember all we intended to be as a people since he can now remember his address,”...

Eighty House Republicans voted with Democrats on Tuesday to pass the Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act, which if passed by the Senate and signed into law would fund a federal vaccination database.According to the bill, also called H. R. 550, the government would provide $400 million in taxpayer dollars to fund “immunization system data modernization and expansion,” a system otherwise defined as “a confidential, population-based, computerized database that records immunization doses administered by any health care provider to persons within the geographic area covered by that database.”The text specifically outlines an expansion of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and...

With all the rush of new news and information I wanted to flag something for your attention that is at least slightly under the media radar. All signs point to a strong Republican midterm election in 2022, with the House the better prospect for Republican control. That means Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy becomes Speaker. Or actually maybe it doesn’t. A bunch of Republicans have started making clear that’s not at all a sure thing. Needless to say they’re Trumpers, various versions of the ex-President’s men. And because of that they’re using the tactics of their movement: a mix of taunts...

However, as I was doing my reading and surfing online came upon an academic abstract that I wanted to share with you about the plan to ensure that food will become part of the surveillance state... ...One goal of the UN Sustainable Goals is to transform the entire food supply so that nothing is taken from nature. All consumables must be created in a laboratory, then recycled using the Cradle-to-Cradle scheme. In 2020, we all noticed that COVID–19 was interrupting the food supply chain. Crops and vegetables are a significant source of food, materials, and medicine. People were being told...

Steve Bannon—the right-wing media personality turned adviser to Donald Trump turned right-wing media personality again—became the first person in nearly 40 years to be indicted on a charge of criminal contempt of Congress last month after he refused to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. Now, Bannon appears to be using his criminal case to go after the committee that went after him. Bannon is attempting to force investigators to potentially expose who they’ve talked to and what they’ve said, peek into secret communications on the committee, and create a playbook for other resistant witnesses, according...

In order to renew ties with the Americans, Abu Mazen will save Jews from lynching Hamas condemned the Palestinian Authority for rescuing the two Israelis who were caught in the heart of Ramallah last night. The incident ended "only" in the arson of their vehicle, and not in vain By Assaf Gibor --- 28 Kislev 5702 (02/12/2021) The bloodthirsty Palestinians whom the two Israelis, Breslav Hasidim, fell into the hands of in the heart of Ramallah, had already seen in their eyes the next lynching. Videos taken at the time of the incident documented the moments of fear: the two...

When I was a kid, there was a Canadian TV show called, “You can’t do that on television.” It was on in the United States thanks to Nickelodeon, if I remember correctly. The odds are high that you don’t remember the show or never heard of it. Either way, it is responsible for the introduction of “green slime,” the gross stuff poured on countless heads in the decades since. On the show, at any point during any of the skits, if someone said, “I don’t know” they had a bucket of slime dumped on them. If the show were on...

Former Vice President Mike Pence said he believes "there were irregularities" in the 2020 election, but felt that his decision to not overturn the results was part of his "oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States." In an interview partially released Wednesday with CBN’s David Brody, Pence would not say that the election was "rigged" or "stolen," but said, "I believe there were irregularities about which I was concerned, and I wanted them to have a fair hearing before the Congress."

According to a new study, those who survived COVID-19 have such a strong natural immunity that their chance of reinfection or severe side effects is minimal. The study, conducted by researchers in Qatar and published in the New England Journal of Medicine reviewed global databases for 353,000 patients infected between February 28, 2020 and April 28, 2021, per Just the News. The researchers excluded about 87,500 people who were vaccinated and found that of the remaining population, only 1,304 got reinfected. “Reinfections had 90% lower odds of resulting in hospitalization or death than primary infections,” the researchers said. “…Reinfections were...

Is the Salvation Army going woke on racism? Foxbusiness.com (11/26/21) observes: “A Salvation Army guide aimed at ‘courageous conversations about racism’ asks ‘White Americans’ to ‘stop trying to be ‘colorblind.’" Stop trying to be colorblind? I thought that was the ideal, promoted by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.---to treat people according to the content of their character, not the color of their skin. There are apparently two prominent documents from the Christian denomination (which is what the Salvation Army is) that deal with the issue of racism, issued by the American headquarters of the group in Northern Virginia. One of...

resident Joe Biden scored the first legislative victory of his presidency with his signing of the much-anticipated and hotly contested infrastructure bill. The bill, which was stalled in the Senate for months, was a subject matter that was bipartisan in nature, but with significant differences in the details between political parties. Through the tumultuous negotiation process, much was revealed about the president, the Senate and the government at large. A figure that came up repeatedly throughout the negotiations was West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin. Manchin, a Democrat, represents a very Republican populous. As a result, he is an extremely moderate...

The U.S. Air Force's top enlisted leader, after getting bombarded with pleas for help from military community members fighting the German government's attempts to tax their pay, said Wednesday she will advocate for the affected airmen and their families. For more than a year, the U.S. military in Europe and the American embassy in Berlin have made no tangible progress on resolving a dispute that has forced some to pay six-figure amounts in German income taxes and penalties, even after they've had their military income taxed by the United States. At issue is a disagreement over how to interpret the...

The UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory’s Operating in the Future Electromagnetic Environment (OFEME) symposium on 23rd/24th November gave a tantalising glimpse into Russian cyber warfare. The event, held in London and online, included a presentation by Duncan McCrory. Mr. McCrory, an engineer and PhD candidate at London’s Kings College, highlighted the use of a Russian cyberattack tool called X-Agent. This was part of his wider presentation on Russian cyber and electronic warfare, and information operations. Mr. McCrory said that X-Agent was malware used to infect computers with the Android operating system used by Ukrainian Army artillery. He cited evidence...

Former President Donald Trump’s new social media company appears to have missed the November deadline it set to release an invitation-only beta version of “Truth Social,” its purported alternative to Twitter. There have been no official announcements of a beta launch, nor have there been any sightings or images of an operational platform online. At the same time, the price of the stock of Digital World Acquisition Corp. – the SPAC company that plans to merge with Trump’s social media firm – has dropped dramatically since its share price exploded when the deal was announced in late October. Shares of...

WASHINGTON, Sunday, Dec. 1. THE MEETING OF CONGRESS. As Congress meets to-morrow in regular session, it will probably take the usual course of calling the roll, ascertaining if a quorum is present, and appointing a Committee to advise the President of their readiness to receive any message he may be prepared to make, and then adjourning till next day. In that case the President's Message will not go in before Tuesday. THE MESSAGE AND THE REPORTS. The President's Message is completed. The report of the Secretary of the Navy has been forwarded to-night to the Agents of the Associated Press,...

“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) — That’s the officially-established creed/cult currently devouring American higher education (not to mention plenty of other institutions at the controlling heights of society). At elite academic institutions, what began fifty and more years ago as a reasonable effort to identify talented but previously overlooked black candidates for admission, has gradually morphed into a crazed obsession that overwhelms and obliterates any and all other purposes and goals of the institution. Where once, with a purpose of educating students, we sought out and hired talented faculty, now our main purpose is DEI, and we hire dozens of...

The Santa Fe Sheriff's Department said it is awaiting results from the FBI which would shed light on how the gun could have been fired, whether that was just pulling back the hammer – which hits the firing pin – just pulling the trigger or both. "Guns don't just go off," Sheriff Adan Mendoza told Fox News Digital. "So whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, he did that and it was in his hands."

Lara Logan claimed that she’s heard from people all over the world that Fauci is another Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who sent more than a million people to their deaths at Auschwitz. The comparison is wrong because Mengele intentionally and affirmatively caused these deaths in the gas chambers. Fauci hasn’t affirmatively killed anyone. He has, however, consigned hundreds of thousands of people to death through his negative behavior, denying people access to life-saving treatment. He can be judged for that without bringing Mengele into the discussion. From the moment COVID hit our shores, there were reports that those who...
