A number of knowledgeable people have written recently on the exploding prices for a number of goods such as energy, food, gasoline, and vehicles. Ryan McMaken of the Mises Insitute and Brad Polombo of FEE, among many others, have laid the blame for this fiasco directly on the leadership of the Federal Reserve, the U.S. central bank. McMaken surmises that as U.S. ports are unloading more goods than in the past, the only explanation must be that prices are rising due to an excess of money circulating. Polombo simply repeats that money printing by the Fed causes inflation Is the...

@ElectionWiz MANCHIN, in stmt: "I do not support any government vaccine mandate on private businesses. That’s why I have cosponsored and will strongly support a bill to overturn the federal government vaccine mandate for private businesses."

(To prevent confusion, this essay imagines how we might change America’s current trajectory.)Some said it started with the circulation online of quotations from the 46th installment of the Federalist Papers. In Federalist 46, James Madison declared that the “ultimate authority” under the proposed Constitution of the United States “resides in the people alone.” “Let us not,” he wrote, “insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion, that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they are in actual possession, than the debased subjects of arbitrary power would be to rescue theirs from the...

100% forced vax based on 0% reliable data We’re being hounded into forced vaccination on the basis of dodgy data, expensively ineffective mRNA drugs, obvious corruption, fake news about preferable management drugs and demographic jab extensions that fail every known and measured cost/benefit analysis. As voluntary “vaccination” stutters, it’s game on for Omicron the Omnipotent as the Trojan Totalitarian Horse gallops over the drawbridge. Austria has gone, Greece is going, the EU is ready and Macron has called a Conseil Constitutionelle in anticipation. The Slog asks what the Resistance can do now. Less than a fortnight into the opening performance...

“I still worry about the censorship that occurs,” Nunes remarked. “What happens if these companies just decide next year, ‘Well, Republicans, they’re all insurrectionists. Let’s shut off all their credit cards and banking so they just can’t raise any money.’ They could do that, all these woke corporations.”

Like President Biden, CNBC host Jim Cramer has lost patience with people who refuse to be vaccinated for covid. He vented his rage on the network's "Mad Money" show, saying "It's time to admit that we have to go to war against covid." Cramer bolstered his "war" analogy by "calling for US military forces to storm the lairs of the vaccine refusers and make them take the shot" because "it's everyone's patriotic duty to support the war effort." Cramer was unfazed by the fact that three different judges have halted President Biden's vaccine mandate, calling it an unconstitutional abuse of...

A former news producer who accused Chris Cuomo of sexual harassment has dismissed CNN's internal investigation into the anchor's support for his beleaguered brother - while the network has seen ratings soar since their star talking head was suspended. Cuomo, 51, was placed on an indefinite suspension on Tuesday - a day after the New York attorney general published damaging information. The documents on Monday showed that Cuomo was far more involved than he had admitted to viewers and CNN executives in helping his brother, Governor Andrew Cuomo, defend himself from accusations of sexual harassment and assault.

I am a 74 yo white male who received the J&J vaccine in March 2021. In August LABCORP performed a COVID antibody test (SARS-CoV-2 Semi-Quant) with a reported result of 506.8 U/ml which was deemed to be a positive (good) result but without any means to evaluate how positive it was. The antibody test was repeated in 90 days (on 11/23/2021), now 9 months from the original jab. The results of the second test reveal that my antibody level INCREASED from 506 in August to 685 in November. I am hoping that there might be someone out there who can...

Dr. Anthony Fauci criticized Fox Nation host Lara Logan Thursday for her comments comparing him to an infamous Nazi war criminal earlier this week, calling the conservative journalist’s comparison ‘slanderous’ and ‘disgusting.’ Speaking to MSNBC host Chris Haye Thursday night, Fauci called on Fox to take disciplinary action against the journalist – who faced backlash Monday after she compared the chief White House medical adviser to Josef Mengele, a Nazi doctor whose hideous experiments on Jewish concentration camp victims during World War II earned him the chilling moniker ‘Angel of Death.’ ‘It’s an insult to all of the people who...

A fully vaccinated and boosted Israeli doctor who became infected with the Omicron variant appears to have only passed the bug on to one other person — despite coming into close contact with dozens of people. Dr. Elad Maor, a cardiologist at Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, told the UK’s Guardian he came down with symptoms and tested positive after attending a three-day conference in London over the weekend. “I got the Omicron in London, for sure,” Maor, who has received three doses of the Pfizer vaccine.“That is interesting because that was 10 days ago in London — really,...

Parents across America were caught unprepared for the mass closure of government schools in 2020. Soon after, however, many decided they and their children had had enough of the status quo. Now at a crossroads, will they choose reform or repudiation?The wave of ill-advised school shutdowns last year compelled tens of thousands of parents to rethink their children’s education. When the classroom was virtually forced into their homes via Zoom, parents realized just how abysmal the curricula and tutelage were. Statistics on families fleeing to homeschooling must be worrying the education establishment.From 2012 to 2019, the homeschooling rate hovered around...

Yesterday, Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, held a press conference where she talked at length about her “concerns” over the EU’s low vaccination rate, and how best to “fix” it.When asked about making vaccines mandatory, she said:It is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now – how we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the European Union. This needs discussion, this needs a common approach, but I think it’s a discussion that has to be led.”Adding:Two or three years ago, I would have never thought to witness what we see right...
