A second-grader at a St. Louis elementary school was found with a loaded handgun on school grounds last week, officials said. St. Louis Public Schools said the weapon was found during recess on Friday when a teacher at Pamoja Preparatory Academy picked up on “unusual behavior.” A second-grader at a St. Louis elementary school was found with a loaded handgun on school grounds last week, officials said.

Governments around the world are warning their citizens that COVID-19 vaccines present heart risks in some populations. But if Twitter users try to look up similar research, they may receive a warning that the information is "unsafe." Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare "raised the alert level for 'side reactions'" to the Pfizer and Moderna two-shot mRNA vaccines on Dec. 3, according to an English translation of a report by the Japanese Kyodo News Service. Just the News couldn't find a native English version. "Serious" symptoms of myocarditis and pericarditis are being reported among the vaccinated "more frequently in...

VIDEO: Former Jordanian Minister of Information Saleh Al-Qallab: "Erdogan is the real Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Turks know this. Everybody knows this. He himself declares this! The Muslim Brotherhood is an actual terrorist organization. Most of the countries in the world consider the Muslim Brotherhood to be a terrorist organization. One day, he will stand trial in Turkey for terrorism"

Anyone who has suffered through rush hour traffic in Washington DC knows even the slightest traffic incident can cause hours of delay. This prevents emergency first responders from saving lives and keeps our dear leaders from getting to work. While some may see the latter as a positive, it’s still an act of insurrection against our government when purposeful actions are taken to halt their fulfillment of duties. Considering the hyperventilating congressional Democrats experience every time there’s a “right-wing” protest in DC, it’s conspicuous that they did not call in the National Guard when climate change “activists” decided to halt...

Pope says ‘gossip’ pressured him to accept bishop’s resignation after alleged affairPope Francis defended Paris Archbishop Aupetit, after the prelate resigned over allegations of sexual relations with a woman. Mon Dec 6, 2021 - 2:39 pm ESTMon Dec 6, 2021 - 4:54 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis has defended the former Archbishop of Paris, who resigned 11 days ago after allegations of having an intimate relationship with a woman, saying that he had only accepted the resignation “not on the altar of truth but on the altar of hypocrisy.”Speaking to Vatican-approved reporters on the flight from Greece to Rome,...

Joseph McBride, who is an attorney representing several Jan. 6 defendants, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he is requesting that the government release explosive videos concerning at least 4 “agent provocateurs” that will reveal the “truth” about what happened that day. “The truth is going to come out,” McBride adamantly told Carlson. “They cannot stop it. That is why we are asking for the government and the judge, quite frankly, to release these tapes and let the chips fall where they may.”

EXCLUSIVE: Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Democrats made COVID-19 vaccines "political," slamming mandates as "the wrong way to go" and encouraging public officials on educating the public, rather than "indoctrinating" them. In an interview with Fox News about his new book, "Republican Rescue: Saving the Party from Truth Deniers, Conspiracy Theorists, and the Dangerous Policies of Joe Biden," Christie discussed the issue of vaccines and how inoculations became political.

Russia’s natural population has undergone its largest peacetime decline in recorded history over the last 12 months, according to an analysis of official government statistics made by a prominent independent demographer, as the country battles a deadly fourth wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The natural population, a number calculated from registered deaths and births, excluding the impact of migration, declined by 997,000 between October 2020 and September 2021, the demographer Alexei Raksha has calculated.

Does Justice Sonia Sotomayor even read the briefs in cases before the Supreme Court? I ask because the cases don't come any bigger than Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which addresses Mississippi's limit on abortion after 15 weeks. The Court is being asked to overturn the 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade and 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. I joined two other female physicians (a neonatologist and an obstetrician) in an amicus brief detailing advances in fetal science that have happened since 1973. During oral arguments, Justice Sotomayor displayed abysmal ignorance of the most basic scientific and...

Neo-Leninist Democrats are predictably hate-mongering, morally opprobrious, anti-modernity troglodytes with wannabe God complexes. Collectively, their great accomplishment has been discovering ways to manipulate and steal elections. Their accomplishments thereafter have been ways to introduce a zeitgeist of immiseration for We the People. Their so-called female leaders are grotesque, mannish and hate-filled. I submit for examples of same the Obama woman, Rep. Maxine Walters and Speaker Nancy Pelosi – who has more facial contortions than would Stacey Abrams with irritable bowel syndrome. There's the Olympian ignorance of Rep. Alexandria Oscar-Cortez, the contemptible vulgarity of Rep. Rashida Tlaib and the collective hatred...

For all the headlines and chatter over Jack Dorsey leaving Twitter last week, it seems nothing is changing with the social media company. Dorsey oversaw the company the same way Dickens opened A Tale of Two Cities. It was the best of times and the worst of times. The opportunity and the obligation to take things in a new direction (or even back to basics), allowing social media to become the great distributor of ideas it originally was intended to be, was in the hands of Dorsey. And he completely failed before he bailed. Instead, it seems that following the...

MSNBC’s host Joy Reid said Monday on her show “The ReidOut” that the media dismissed Adolf Hitler as a joke and “we’re seeing a similar pattern emerge when it comes to the threat” of former President Donald Trump. Reid said, “Let not forget the many who laughed at Donald Trump back in 2016 and even after he was elected. Thanks to four years of Trump, this is a backsliding democracy, according to an international think tank. And that’s no joke. The truth is this country doesn’t have a great track record of recognizing authoritarians for what they are, at least...

Former president Donald Trump became the subject of mockery for a statement issued late Saturday that accidentally questioned the validity of his repeated false claims about “massive Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election.” “Anybody that doesn’t think there wasn’t massive Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election is either very stupid, or very corrupt!” Trump said in a statement that was posted to Twitter by spokeswoman Liz Harrington. Of course, that double negative delivers a message that’s opposite to what the former president no doubt intended — which critics seized on. “When you’re right, you’re right,” longtime anti-Trump Republican...

The United States steam transport Vanderbilt, Capt. LE FEVRE, from Port Royal, S.C., Dec. 3, with mails and passengers to Col. D.D. TOMPKINS, U.S. Quartermaster, arrived at this port yesterday morning. Nothing of importance had transpired since the sailing of the Rhode Island. Gen. VIELE's expedition was fitting out with all possible haste, and would leave on its mission as soon as more troops arrived, which would be very soon, as they were expected at any moment. The harbor at Port Royal has been buoyed off, so that a vessel drawing twenty-five feet of water can enter with perfect safety....
