After learning that students at Loyola Marymount University allegedly were required to include their preferred pronouns on assignments and are given the option to change their name and gender identity, an alumni-led group is petitioning the Los Angeles-area Catholic school to stop its “institutional commitment to gender ideology." The petition partly stems from an email that a professor, Christopher Miller, allegedly sent to students on Sept. 9. The content of the email was posted on Twitter Nov. 12 by Libs of Tik Tok, a popular conservative Twitter account. Loyola Marymount's website identifies Miller as Bhagwan Mallinath Assistant Professor of Jainism...

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The news that Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone is unvaccinated just cost him a visit to a church in San Francisco. "Because Cordileone is not vaccinated and we've had breakthrough vaccinations in the church, I'm not comfortable. I'm not comfortable with him coming unvaccinated," said Rita Clunies-Ross, St. Agnes Catholic Church parishioner. December 19 was the day Archbishop Cordileone was scheduled to visit Saint Agnes Church. Several weeks before his visit, churchgoers like Rita Clunies-Ross voiced concerns. Now this church is taking a stance. "I called him and spoke with him and asked him to re-schedule his visit...

The US Air Force on Monday announced that 27 service members had been discharged for refusing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, Reuters reports. They are believed to be the first active-duty troops to have been removed for declining the vaccine.

This is not the first time the prize was awarded for misleading and discredited coverage In 2018, journalists from The New York Times and The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize in national reporting for their biased and inaccurate coverage of Russia’s alleged collaboration with the Trump campaign to interfere with the 2016 election, a claim we now know was a hoax. So when are they going to return the prize? If this sounds familiar, it should. This is not the first time the prize – which is supposed to recognize outstanding achievement and public service in journalism – was...

Last week, the World Tribune published an article revealing information that indicates the WHO likely knew ivermectin was effective for months, but blocked its use, all for Big Pharma. Dr. Andrew Hill, a senior visiting research fellow in pharmacology at Liverpool University, adviser to the Gates Foundation, and researcher for the WHO, was tasked with conducting an ivermectin trial for the WHO. Based on his preliminary findings, Hill testified enthusiastically about the use of ivermectin before the NIH COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel on Jan. 6, 2021. But then he suddenly changed course and published a study dinging the drug’s efficacy...

WAUKESHA, Wis. — For her whole life, 67-year-old Sharon Millard was so shy she used to ask her identical twin sister to go on dates in her place in high school. But ever since Nov. 21, when Darrell Brooks allegedly plowed into dozens of people at the Waukesha Christmas parade, killing six people, including an 8-year-old boy, and injuring up to 60 others, Millard has felt compelled to speak about the atrocity she witnessed. One of the people killed was Millard’s fellow “Dancing Granny” — 79-year-old Virginia “Ginny” Sorenson — who was tossed up in the air like a rag...

New York’s governor said Monday that her administration will not seek to compel counties to comply with her new mask mandate, which took effect on Dec. 13. “I do hope that the businesses will enforce this, and individuals will understand how important it is,” Gov. Kathy Hochul told reporters at a briefing in New York City. “We have left it to the counties to enforce, so counties can choose not to enforce. But we hope counties are enforcing,” she added later. Hochul, a Democrat who replaced Andrew Cuomo when he resigned earlier this year, on Friday announced that masks would...

Abstract A key driver in biopharmaceutical investment decisions is the probability of success of a drug development program. We estimate the probabilities of success (PoSs) of clinical trials for vaccines and other anti-infective therapeutics using 43,414 unique triplets of clinical trial, drug, and disease between January 1, 2000, and January 7, 2020, yielding 2,544 vaccine programs and 6,829 nonvaccine programs targeting infectious diseases. The overall estimated PoS for an industry-sponsored vaccine program is 39.6%, and 16.3% for an industry-sponsored anti-infective therapeutic....We plot the number of development programs known to start in each month from January 2000 through December 2019 in...

Let’s say it straight: Every Georgia Republican who votes for former Sen. David Perdue in next year’s gubernatorial primary is voting to strangle American democracy and replace it with an arrangement in which elections can be overturned on a whim, just because somebody says so. There is no other rationale for Perdue’s candidacy, no other reason for him to have launched a campaign against an incumbent governor of his own party. That, and to try to placate the implacable Donald Trump. That incumbent, Brian Kemp, has served for almost 20 years as a Republican state senator, a Republican secretary of...

The state of California is having another Covid-19 surge despite the most draconian lockdowns in the nation. To fight this, the communist government has initiated another statewide face mask mandate for everyone who is indoors regardless of whether they’ve been injected or not with the Covid-19 experimental drugs, often referred to as “vaccines.”According to Fox News: California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly announced the updated policy Monday, citing an increase in COVID-19 cases in the state since the Thanksgiving holiday.“This is a critical time,” Ghaly said Monday. “We have a tool we know has worked and can...

This weekend my wife and I watched a feature length Japanese movie on TV Japan entitled The Great War of Archimedes, a movie that has nothing to do with Archimedes, and there's actually only one -- terrific -- intense battle simulation scene in the flick. I'll do my best here to convince you FReepers that this is a great choice to watch (in English subtitles) -- and try to not give the plot away. What the Movie IS and IS NOT: It is NOT a War movie, though the first few minutes of his movie show a highly realistic and...

ATLANTA, Georgia — Former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), who is backed by former President Donald Trump in his gubernatorial bid, holds a sizable lead early in his campaign over Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a poll from Trump’s pollster Tony Fabrizio provided exclusively to Breitbart News shows. The headline of the polling memo—“Perdue Primed to Defeat Kemp”—says it all. “We found that incumbent Governor Brian Kemp has overstayed his welcome with the Republican electorate and a plurality back another candidate, chiefly David Perdue,” the polling memo states. “Furthermore, President Trump’s endorsement of Sen. Perdue serves to further solidify his advantage over...

John Paul II would never have accepted abortion-tainted COVID jab. Here’s whyAccepting into one’s own body one of the four most prominent alleged COVID vaccines fails to meet the demands of the personalistic norm, which is the norm of the philosophical foundation of Christ’s commandment to love. (LifeSiteNews) — I have been following the LifeSiteNews stories on the morality of accepting the so-called “vaccines,” and just finished reading this article, posted June 23, 2021, with the following headline and caption: Priest: Using abortion-tainted COVID vaccine is moral complicity in organ harvesting ‘The Nazis were bad? The Chinese were bad? We...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A leading Georgia legislator has introduced a bill that would eliminate absentee ballot drop boxes, a favored and highly-used tool last November that allowed voters to safely cast ballots during the coronavirus pandemic. Butch Miller, the No.2 Republican in Georgia's Republican-controlled senate and a candidate for lieutenant governor in the 2022 elections, said drop boxes were a “weak link” in guarding against voter fraud, according to a statement released by his office.

The arrests on Monday come after the cyber unit of Montreal Police conducted an extensive online investigation over the weekend.

Introduction. In October 2020 I wrote about the US healthcare system and how it is a total failure on Covid, allowing people to die without simple treatments for the Bioweapon dubbed Covid. A year later we have increased our hold on #1 slot on healthcare expenditures per capita. Nothing has improved and in many ways our healthcare establishment has gotten worse. Much worse. And, now we have the smoking gun case of Africa proving the possibly intentional manslaughter of people in the name of bad science, profiteering or worse – depopulation…. The most expensive healthcare system in the world (by...

Women were left covered in nachos after an ugly brawl broke out at the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving match against the Las Vegas Raiders. Footage appears to show a woman jumping over the food counter at AT&T stadium in Texas as she appears to be chasing down another female. Within seconds of hurling herself over the counter, she fell to the ground as the floor was covered in nachos and food boxes. Another woman then punched her in the face, knocking her blue baseball cap off. The women were brawling and pulling each other’s hair. It’s not known what caused the...
