For a while now, I’ve been decrying the trend of Democrats pushing for supposed “experts” to run every facet of the federal government. That has led to mediocre academics and bureaucrats being given extreme levels of power. Yet, while there are many different people who fit that description, no better example exists than Dr. Anthony Fauci.I used to joke about the fame-obsessed doctor actually being the acting president. But because our politics only has one mode, which is to say always becoming crazier, Joe Biden is just outright admitting it now.Joe Biden "jokes" that Dr. Fauci is actually the President...

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was sworn in on October 23, 1991. Beginning in 1996, he would take a 10-year break from asking questions from the bench, until the first case before the Court following the death of Chief Justice Antonin Scalia, his ideological soul mate.While still measured, Thomas has been known to take lawyers to the mat when he sees fit to do so. Wednesday morning’s oral arguments in the Mississippi abortion case — that threatens to weaken Roe v. Wade if not overturn it — provided Justice Thomas the perfect opportunity to do just that, with a round...

Members of Congress say they still can’t get clear answers about the U.S evacuation effort in Afghanistan, but they’re being asked to approve an additional $7 billion to manage the pipeline of people still coming and the tens of thousands of Afghans already here. House Democrats announced the $7 billion item early Thursday as part of a stopgap spending bill to keep the government running past a Friday shutdown deadline, buying time for lawmakers to try to hash out a broader spending deal for fiscal year 2022. The evacuee money, agreed to by top Republicans and Democrats, comes on top...

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...

DONALD TRUMP: I want to see good for the country, Brian, it’s so important to me. I want to see good for the country. There’s no gratification. What they’re doing is destroying our country. Our country is being destroyed before your very eyes. And I’ve never seen anything like it.

- Hamas Is a Murderous Political Organization - It only claims to represent Palestine, Jerusalem, Islam – In reality, it serves Iranian plots to occupy the Arab world - Hamas has been a terrorist movement for decades, and it has been directing its terrorism against the Palestinians and the Arab countries - Iran is killing people in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen - It has launched rockets from buildings full of civilians so that Israel would bomb these buildings, and then Hamas would be able to do PR - Hamas and other groups have been exploiting Al-Aqsa "throughout history"

Up to 300,000 people in the UK are facing heart-related illnesses due to post-pandemic stress disorder (PPSD), two London physicians have warned. This could result in a 4.5 per cent rise in cardiovascular cases nationally because of the effects of PPSD, with those aged between 30 to 45 most at-risk, they claim.

CIA Files Say Staffers Committed Sex Crimes Involving Children. They Weren’t Prosecuted. Declassified CIA inspector general reports show a pattern of abuse and a repeated decision by federal prosecutors not to hold agency personnel accountable. Over the past 14 years, the Central Intelligence Agency has secretly amassed credible evidence that at least 10 of its employees and contractors committed sexual crimes involving children. Though most of these cases were referred to US attorneys for prosecution, only one of the individuals was ever charged with a crime. Prosecutors sent the rest of the cases back to the CIA to handle internally,...

On this episode of The Resistance Library Podcast, Sam Jacobs interviews Wesley J. Smith. Wesley J. Smith is the host of Humanize Podcast, Chairman of the Discovery Institute of Center on Human Exceptionalism, and an award-winning author whose works have appeared in the op-ed pages of The Epoch Times among other places. We had him on to discuss the Culture of Death in the West, the woke dehumanization of women, and why the vaccine mandate is Biden's exploding cigar.

The Omicron variant of coronavirus is 2.4x more likely to reinfect people than the original stain, a study from South Africa suggests. The research, which has not been peer-reviewed, found people who had tested positive for Covid could pick up the virus again. It did not say how the variant will behave when spreading in a highly vaccinated population such as the UK, or whether the virus can evade the protection offered by vaccines against severe disease.... ..."We believe that vaccines will still, however, protect against severe disease because we've seen this decrease in protection using vaccines with the other...

A good night's sleep plays an essential role in regulating brain health by removing the waste material and toxins that accumulate. Although many things can disturb sleep, one of the most common causes is snoring or other breathing issues that cause obstructive sleep apnea. A team of researchers sought to understand the relationship between breathing rate during sleep and cognitive function, and how a snoring intervention affects brain health. The team discovered that maximum breathing rate can be used to distinguish healthy individuals from people with mild cognitive impairment and those with Alzheimer's disease. The researchers also found that a...

The city of Tel Aviv was named after the title in Hebrew of “Old New Land” (“Altneuland” in German), a visionary novel written in 1902 by Theodore Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism. Israel’s commercial capital still blends modernity and history. This summer, as time-poor professionals were ordering coffee pods delivered by drone, archaeologists nearby were uncovering a Byzantine wine press and a 7th-century gold coin. Both discoveries might come in handy in the city that is now the world’s most expensive. According to the latest findings of the Worldwide Cost of Living Survey from The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU),...

The 1,035-kilometer (642-mile) line opens this week to cargo but no regular passengers due to anti-pandemic travel curbs. Poor countries welcome China’s initiative. But the projects are financed by loans from Chinese state-owned banks that must be repaid. Some borrowers complain Chinese-built projects are too expensive and leave too much debt. Laotian leaders hope the railway will energize their isolated economy by linking it to China and markets as far away as Europe. But foreign experts say the potential benefits to Laos beyond serving as a channel for Chinese trade are unclear and the cost appears dangerously high.

Over and over during the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on Wednesday about Mississippi’s new abortion law, Dobbs v. Jackson, those defending abortion argued how any restrictions would endanger women’s health and well-being. The law prohibits abortions after 15 weeks, though it includes exceptions for a woman’s life and health. For abortion rights advocates the cases was the end of the world. “Nearly half of the states already have or are expected to enact bans on abortion at all stages of pregnancy, many without exceptions for rape or incest,” predicted Biden’s Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar during oral arguments. But even Chief...

Biden admin lobbied against bill, fearing it would torpedo climate negotiations with China Senate Democrats are blocking legislation that would prohibit imports from China made with Uyghur slave labor, in response to pressure from Biden administration officials who fear the bill would torpedo climate negotiations with the Chinese government. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, a bill sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio has long been circulating in Congress and is backed by the human rights community and opponents of China's forced labor camps, was included in a package of 25 amendments to the annual defense authorization bill. But Democrats excluded...

In a rant that is eerily similar to one you would hear from Adolf Hitler against the Jews, a Black Lives Matter leader and admitted black supremacist, Manuel Griffen, was recorded spewing pro-genocide language against white people. At one point Manuel even states "I'm for putting all white possums in gas chambers", he then doubled down on his racist speech on Twitter by saying yes, it is him spewing the hate speech, and yes, he absolutely agrees that whites need to be exterminated. This man is still allowed on Twitter, while those reporting him for racism is being deleted.

[Catholic Caucus] Today’s day thought experiment: The Oregon TrailA friend sent this:I never played Oregon Trail, but I watched enough Westerns and studied enough history that I get the gist.Today’s day thought experiment:The wagon train is headed west. After crossing the Mississippi, things seem to go well through the plains – but then as things start to rise toward the Rockies, the going gets tougher. There are some Native attacks, the path gets more difficult. The wagon train is still largely together, but it’s showing signs of imminent trouble.The leadership calls a brief halt to discuss what’s going wrong and...

What’s Happening: This week, the Supreme Court heard arguments on a case that could have a dramatic impact on the future of our country. They will be ruling on a pro-life law out of Mississippi. Their decision could strike down Roe v. Wade, the court ruling that legalized abortion in the United States. Many critics believe the key “swing” vote on the court will come from Brett Kavanaugh. Why? Because many assumed Chief Justice Roberts would side with the liberal wing of the party. But something Roberts just said flipped the court on its ear. And the left just might...

Is anybody out there as sick of Mitch McConnell’s crap as I am? His latest sell out about how a government shut down is not the right place to fight this Covid tyranny just pushed me over the edge. After he showed his true colors and allowed the Dems to extend the debt limit. I tried to call his office and of course the mailbox is full. I’m going to stop right there because I am freaking infuriated
