Dr. Anthony Fauci has been the target of criticism due to his handling or rather mishandling of the coronavirus. As the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci has flip-flopped his stance on the efficacy of using masks and has voiced warnings about using Ivermectin to treat COVID, while other doctors and also other countries have proof that it is effective against the virus and reduces the mortality rate. Fauci has also been a proponent of the vaccine amidst controversy that the vaccine has not been tested enough to fully understand its efficacy and possible...

COPENHAGEN (AP) – At least 50 people in and around Norway’s capital have been infected with the omicron coronavirus variant and the cases are connected to a Norwegian company’s Christmas party in an Oslo restaurant, officials said Thursday. “More cases are expected. Effective tracing is being done to limit transmission routes and prevent major outbreaks,” the Oslo Municipality said in a statement.

As I’ve grown older, I’ll often hear people my age say things like “they just don’t make good music like they used to.” Why does this happen? Luckily, my background as a psychologist has given me some insights into this puzzle. We know that musical tastes begin to crystallize as early as age 13 or 14. By the time we’re in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly. In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have stopped listening to new music. Meanwhile, popular songs released when you’re in...

In last week's column, I provided examples of damage that the left is doing to America and forcefully pleaded with patriotic Americans to fight for their country, including sending a powerful message in next year's midterm elections. Some felt this was insufficient. One disgruntled reader commented, "So, you present us with a nauseating litany of the kinds of evil and destruction that our now clearly communist government and every miserable, disgusting and depraved loser who can crawl from under their rock or out of their cesspool feels free to commit. And then you say the answer is to vote. Are...

The Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk believes that septuagenarians are too old to run for high office. In what could be a dig at President Joe Biden or his predecessor Donald Trump, Musk said that there must come a point when a politician's time is up. "Let's set an age limit after which you can't run for political office, perhaps a number just below 70..." said his tweet which as of Thursday morning had been liked more than 76,000 times. Musk did not specify whether he was referring to the U.S. presidency, which has a lower age limit of...

The conservative news site I have operated for the last 15 years is undergoing persistent bot attacks which leave site unable to load and me unable to post news. Does anyone out there have experience with this?

Just reading through the senators twitter feeds and there appears to be a MASSIVE split. Some want to go all out and STOP the vaccine mandate including shutting down the government until the Demoncrats agree to stop funding it. Then you have McConnell going on Fox saying it's not happening! I wonder how many of those seeking to defund the mandate appreciate this! BIG move by Mitch because I'd say nearly half his members want to shut down the government including some reliable establishment types like Roger Marshall from Kansas (who is spearheading it, funnily enough). This could easily boil...

A Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling has set a formidable precedent for judicial scrutiny of Biden administration policies concerning Covid, as well as constitutional questions in general. ================================================================================= It was with scorn and constitutional alarm that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on November 12 turned aside the Biden administration’s attempt to require Covid vaccinations for the nation’s workforce. The ruling has set a formidable precedent for judicial scrutiny of Biden administration policies concerning Covid, as well as constitutional questions in general. In order to avoid the drawn-out and detailed procedures, including public comment, required by executive-branch administrative law,...

Remeber how the FDA a few weeks ago did not want a federal Judge to let any of the Pfizer drug information out from the first few weeks when they started to do the injections back January? It is out and in the first few weeks alone thousands of people died and they knowingly covered it up. https://banned.video/watch?id=61a8154a5894057acfcf857d

December 7, 1941. "A date which will live in infamy," President Franklin D. Roosevelt called it. The attack's 80th anniversary is this month. Infamy. Webster's Dictionary defines infamy as: "evil reputation brought about by something grossly criminal, shocking, or brutal." From the U.S. perspective, the Japanese 1941 sneak attack on Pearl Harbor definitely fits that definition. The Japanese elites -- other than Adm. Isoruku Yamamoto -- thought the sneak attack would do two things. The semi-sane bean counters thought it would destroy America's Pacific Ocean fleet and make retribution (counterattack on Japan) impossible, or at least improbable. The total whack-job,...

Two brazen thieves were caught on surveillance video cornering a mother and her baby outside their gated Los Angeles home — before stealing a diaper bag and cooler. Police said the terrifying ordeal unfolded when the woman returned to her Hancock Park home last Sunday afternoon after she went out for a walk with her child. The surveillance video released by cops shows the woman waiting for the electric gates to open outside the home before she started pushing her baby’s stroller up the driveway. At the same time, the two suspects can be seen getting out of a car...

@ChadPergram On Fox, McConnell says "there's a decent chance the courts" will strike down vaccine mandates. "I don't think shutting down the government over this issue is going to get an outcome. It's only going to create chaos and uncertainty."

A homeless man from Miami has been arrested on allegations he murdered Ryan Rogers, the 14-year-old boy found fatally stabbed in Palm Beach Gardens. Semmie Lee Williams, 39, was taken into custody from Miami on Wednesday. Police officials in Palm Beach Gardens are scheduled to detail his arrest at a 10 a.m. press conference.

Illinois on Wednesday reported 6,119 new COVID-19 cases, the highest amount in a single day since January. The surge is largely fueled by unvaccinated residents, the Chicago Tribune reported. In the week ending on Wednesday, residents who were not fully vaccinated were being hospitalized due to COVID-19 at a rate of 38 per 100,000 residents, surpassing the peak rate during fall 2020, according to the Tribune. Nearly 1.9 million people in Illinois have received the COVID-19 booster shot, which is more than one in seven of the state's residents, the Tribune noted. The number is an increase from the 1.5...

Fauci said on Wednesday that annual COVID vaccinations may be needed

An off-duty Arizona police officer has been fired after fatally shooting a disabled man in a wheelchair for allegedly shoplifting from a local Walmart. Officer Ryan Remington was terminated for excessive use of force on Wednesday after firing nine rounds at 61-year-old Richard Lee Richards on Tuesday, leaving him dead at the scene. An officer at the scene said authorities asked Richards for a receipt, but allege he pulled out a knife instead, saying “here’s your receipt.” The incident was recorded on Remington’s body camera, showing the suspect entering a neighboring Lowe’s store before things turned deadly. After following the...

To whom do liberals go when they want to tell their career-threatening stories to a sympathetic listener? Well, to be fair, they have several choices, but George Stephanopoulos is perhaps the favorite. So Alec Baldwin sought out Stephanopoulos to explain how he came to shoot and kill Halyna Hutchins. Today ABC News released a preview clip of that interview:In his first interview since the deadly Oct. 21 shooting, a tearful Baldwin told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos he has “no idea” how the live bullet ended up in the firearm.“The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger,” Baldwin said in...

The Democrats are doing everything they can to get Americans into electric cars. However, those cars come with the risk of a serious loss of power — not just for the car, but for those who buy those cars.

On Tuesday, police did a drug sting (with dogs and all) at one of FWISDs problem middle schools. They recovered a trove of drugs and weapons. Wednesday, at the same school, a student threatened administrators that he was going to come back with his gang and shoot up the place after admins broke up a fight. FWISD has a long-standing problem with this school, and it is about to blow just like the one down the street did. If you have any relatives working in FWISD at these troubled schools, talk to them and make sure they have an escape...
