The Biden administration has warned COVID-19 test makers and labs that demand for tests could soon double or even triple, five people familiar with the situation told Politico. The Health and Human Services Department’s Testing and Diagnostic Working Group shared an internal model with the diagnostic industry that projects the country needing more COVID-19 tests on top of the more than 1.6 million currently used daily. The model shows 3 million to 5 million daily tests needed by January or February, an estimate that makes the assumption the omicron variant is three to five times more transmissible than delta and...

The Healthcare at Mayo Clinic is some of the best in the world. We have been here for the last week and everyone has been amazing. On our way out, stopped for a coffee. Sitting next to 8 nurses complaining about all of the anti-vax patients and how they hate helping them. They are talking like anyone without the Vax is less than human and deserves a lower tier of care. They talked about how they ignore patients. Ugh disgusting.

Dr Alina Chan, specialising in gene therapy and cell engineering and co-author of ‘Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19', told the Parliament panel's evidence session on scientific research that the pandemic was being caused by the unique feature of the coronavirus called “furin cleavage site”, which has been linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology....

With the price of gas hitting $7 a gallon and a package of Oscar Meyer bacon hitting $9.59 out in California, you can bet inflation is on consumers' minds, and 80% of them know who did it.Big government spending, the kind that requires the Fed to print more money than the economy can handle, is behind it. The U.S. has passed a helluva lot of gargantuan trillion-plus-dollar spending bills for things such as COVID relief, "infrastructure," bailouts of favored industries, stimulus payouts, and more in the last few years and the economy is still struggling to digest it.Inflation, according to...

Non-citizens' voting rights in municipal elections raise questions about how the city will stop them from voting for federal and state officials. The New York City Council debated and then passed a law last week granting non-citizens the right to vote in municipal elections. New York’s constitution states that the right of citizens to vote is guaranteed, “provided that such citizen is eighteen years of age” and has been in residence in the Empire State for 30 days. It is to be hoped that the courts will rule the New York City law unconstitutional, but that can’t be taken for...

A former senior FBI lawyer who falsified a surveillance document in the Trump-Russia investigation has been restored as a member in "good standing" by the District of Columbia Bar Association even though he has yet to finish serving out his probation as a convicted felon, according to disciplinary records obtained by RealClearInvestigations. The move is the latest in a series of exceptions the bar has made for Kevin Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty in August 2020 to doctoring an email used to justify a surveillance warrant targeting former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Clinesmith was sentenced to 12 months probation last...

THIRD WEEK OF ADVENT LUKE 7:24-30 Friends, in today’s Gospel, once again the fiery and frightening character of John the Baptist bursts on the scene as the forerunner of Jesus. The opening line is important. Jesus asks the crowds, “What did you go out to the desert to see?” The desert is a place of simplicity and poverty, a place where illusions die, where reality is faced honestly and without compromise. The Bible frequently employs the desert as the setting for the discovery of bold and simple truths. Advent is, for us, a desert time. It brings us back to...

The Biden administration is ignoring natural immunity and therapeutic medicines in its campaign to force all Americans to receive coronavirus vaccines, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) said on Wednesday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with host Alex Marlow. The Biden administration and Democrat Party seek to impose a one-size-fits-all universal vaccination mandate, Scalise observed. Such an approach, he added, ignores the millions of Americans possessing natural immunity yielded through their recovery from COVID-19. Scalise remarked, “One of the big failures of the Biden administration is that they’ve only been focused on vaccinations, but they don’t want to do anything...

President Biden says he is "losing patience with the media." White House underlings have been engaged in closed-door meetings with major media outlets "to correct the negative impression being created by media reports on prices, crime, and other issues." Press Secretary Jen Psaki complained that "we thought these guys were on our side. Why do they have to report so much bad news? Take the issue of rising prices. The President hasn't raised the price on a single piece of merchandise. Every price hike has been made by the vendors. As the President has pointed out on several occasions, it...
