Jen Psaki Confronted With Poor Jobs Report Live On MSNBC, Says She Can’t Comment Right Away"Well, I know this sounds a little archaic, but I can't comment on them until 9:30, by rules, because I work at the White House," Psaki responded. "What I will say is people can expect the president to continue to say, today, month to month, is that what we’re seeing are good trends, that we are continuing to put people back to work, that we are continuing to see participation in the workforce, that we are continuing to see the unemployment rate go down, but...

As has been the case with so many other school shootings over several years, last week's murder spree at Oakland High School in suburban Detroit might have been avoided if actions had been taken in the face of several obvious warning signs. Ethan Crumbley, 15, is charged with murdering four of his fellow students and wounding with intent to kill seven others. He has also been charged with terrorism. There were a series of signs leading up to this tragedy -- as there usually are -- that should have alerted people that Crumbley was a serious threat. He had displayed...

Previous evidence has shown that people infected with Covid-19 have high levels of the virus in their saliva. Now, researchers have developed an experimental chewing gum that traps SARS-CoV-2 viral particles, the coronavirus that causes Covid-19. The gum may help lower viral transmission when infected individuals breathe, talk, or cough, reports Nancy Lapid for Reuters. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania published details of the study this month in the research journal Molecular Therapy. The experimental gum traps viral particles through copies of a receptor called the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors riddled along its surface. Like a key inserted...

Falun Gong practitioners have been banned from performing at the Perth Christmas Pageant on Saturday, December 4, due to a fear of the group highlighting “international political issues,” even though the group itself is non-political. Billionaire Kerry Stokes’ Seven West Media offered the Falun Dafa Association a spot in the parade in an email cited by WAtoday; however, ten days later, they revoked the invitation, as reported by TheAge. Last month, Mark Hutchison, a Falun Gong practitioner, unexpectedly got an email from Seven West Media informing him that the group had been permitted to join the Perth Christmas Pageant. However,...

Cowardice and courage on the question of China. China is ruled by an increasingly totalitarian regime that uses technology to spy on its citizens. It is, at this moment, carrying out a genocide against its Uyghur Muslim population. It regularly vanishes people who dare to dissent. And it wants to control the terms of debate, politics and business worldwide. Having disappeared doctors and scientists who tried to blow the whistle on Covid-19, the Chinese Communist Party has now targeted Peng Shuai, a tennis star who accused a former top Chinese government official of sexual assault. “Even if it is like...

Editor's note: this piece was authored by Addison Hosner.Regardless of your opinion on the outcome of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, one thing cannot be denied — from a legal standpoint, the verdict was correct. You don’t have to like it, you don’t even have to tolerate it, but you have to understand: Legal decisions are not made with the emotional state of proponents and dissidents in mind — nor should they be. Unfortunately, as a nation, it seems we’re becoming less and less able to separate facts from our feelings. In order to address difficult conversations in the future regarding...

This week, White House COVID-19 response leader Dr. Anthony Fauci could not answer why the Omicron variant screening process for individuals arriving lawfully to the United States is different than the process for those arriving unlawfully at the southern border. Fauci claimed it was a “different issue.” Why he views these two groups differently is unclear, but what is clear is that COVID remains rampant at the southern border with virtually non-existent mitigation protocols in place. Should Dr. Fauci and the Biden administration want to protect the public health interests of Americans (as the administration has recently stated) they must...

Democrats reward the leftist corporate media with your money for lying to you. Early on, it was evident the Democrats’ “Build Back Better” plan had two objectives. The first was to assuage the concerns of their voter base as blue state governors and bureaucrats were encouraged to weaponize pandemic lockdowns and other restrictions so as to decimate a booming economy and defeat President Trump. The not-so-implicit message: Whatever you lose now to help defeat Trump will be more than made whole under the Biden Administration. Leaving nothing to chance, this reassuring message also helped to buttress the proposed “Build Back...

Now, more than ever, parents must become active participants in their child’s education. Here’s what you need to know. Your Child’s TeacherEducators play an integral role in what and how kids learn. Unsurprisingly, teachers have a tremendous impact on student success, including academic development and learning outcomes. But, educators also play a crucial role in the development of non-cognitive skills; they teach social skills such as teamwork, character traits such as self-discipline, organization, or staying on task. Educators are positioned to influence your child’s belief system; the way they think and what they believe. Parental InvolvementParents are the first line...

Why aren't D.A.s and judges charged when career criminals they let out on zero or low bail kill or maim again? Isn't it their job to protect society? I believe that it is correct in the Michigan killings for the parents to be charged. They were extremely negligent and culpable. Why aren't school administration officials charged for letting a dangerous kid back in class without even checking his backpack? Why aren't D.A.s and judges charged when career criminals they let out on zero or low bail kill or maim again? Isn't it their job to protect society? They certainly have...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) went on the defensive this week when asked by FOX Business about preventing slave labor in China. "One of the things that Senator Rubio has said is that the reason why the House has not voted on that Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act is because [U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate] John Kerry has lobbied you and others not to act on it and to slow-walk it, so it doesn’t complicate his climate change negotiations with China. Is that true?" asked FOX Business’ Hillary Vaughn. "No, it is not true, and you know, again, if...

Needless to say, given that this is the EU and that government officials adore the power of the COVID, normal people won’t like the plan. One of the most heinous things the Nazis did was medical experiments on people. Mengele was famous for his obsession with twins, whom he cruelly tortured, but the Nazis liked to do insanely cruel things to all sorts of captives. The Nuremberg Code was enacted to stop this from ever happening again, but individual European states and now the entire EU are ready to scrap the code. SNIP Into this environment steps Ursula von der...

How total is Michael Steele's transformation from RNC chairman to Democrat sycophant? On today's Morning Joe, Steele, an MSNBC analyst and member of the disgraced Lincoln Project, slurred Republican judicial appointees while expressing his preference for Democrat nominees. Steele was commenting on Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana telling Biden judicial nominee Dale Ho that he found him, based on his social media attacks on Republicans and conservatives, to be an "angry" man. Said Steele: "Did Senator Kennedy take a look at some of the nominations that Donald Trump put before? There were people he voted for who never appeared...

Although Peng Shuai’s story has sex and sports, making it media fodder, a more significant person vanished from view in 2018—and no one seems to care. Much media coverage has been devoted to Peng Shuai, a Chinese women’s tennis player, whom her Communist Chinese government apparently “disappeared.” However, the head of Interpol disappeared too, and that deserves more attention. Because Peng was an international figure and used social media to claim a “high-ranking government official” in China sexually assaulted her, the media was eager to cover her disappearance—mostly because of the political popularity and sensitivity to the #MeToo movement. After...

It’s rare when lawyers — as opposed to their clients — take the Fifth Amendment. But Jeffrey Clark, the former Justice Department lawyer who reportedly tried to help Donald Trump overturn the 2020 presidential election, is now claiming the privilege against self-incrimination to avoid testifying before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. He has just been joined in that posture by one of Trump’s main outside legal advisers, John Eastman. Their fear of incrimination could well be justified: There can be serious state and federal criminal consequences for trying to fraudulently interfere with an election....

What do these 'smash and grab' robberies plaguing cities such as San Francisco say about the participants? The facile assembly of large mobs of miscreants to raid retailers in San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles is even more alarming than it seems. The events are novel and even a bit entertaining, posing only a minor challenge to law enforcement if police are permitted to intercede. More important than the incidents per se, however, is what they may reveal about the participants. Lootings have been widely reported, mainly on the West Coast. At Union Square in the heart of San Francisco:...

There was a prevailing feeling of optimism as I stood outside the Supreme Court with the sun warming us on a brisk late fall day as oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the Mississippi abortion case, were to be heard. For those of us who gather outside the Court every January to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade with sorrow, hope was palpable. If Roe is overturned, that will not be the end of abortion in America, but states like Mississippi and Texas will all but ban it. The bad science of Roe was emphasized by...

When you tell a student, get injected or get expelled, there is no free and informed consent to this vaccine,' John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms stressed.. CALGARY, Alberta – The head of the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) says Canadian universities with COVID jab mandates are violating the Nuremberg Code by “punishing students who exercise their legal right to bodily autonomy.” “Universities are blatantly violating the Nuremberg Code, as well as the Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights by pressuring students to get injected,” John Carpay said in a JCCF video posted Monday titled...
