Archbishop Viganò defends Cardinal Müller and his Great Reset critiqueVigano comments on those considered by the 'globalist Sanhedrin' to be heretics, 'unworthy to ask questions about the new dogmas of the health religion defined ex cathedra by the experts in the pay of BigPharma.' (LifeSiteNews) – After Cardinal Gerhard Müller gave Catholic activist Alexander Tschugguel a thoughtful and good interview concerning the coronavirus lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and especially the dangerous and anti-democratic agenda of the Great Reset, he came under strong attacks in Germany. Both state and faith leaders rebuked him for purportedly spreading “conspiracy theories” and even “anti-semitic codes,”...

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. Explanation: Fireflies flash along a moonlit countryside in this scene taken on the night of December 13/14 from southern Uruguay, planet Earth. On that night meteors fell in the partly cloudy skies above during the annual Geminid meteor shower. Frames recorded over a period of 1.5 hours are aligned in the composite image made with the camera facing south. That direction was opposite the shower's radiant toward the north and so the Geminid meteor...

A Response to Rumors of Further Restrictions on Traditional Catholicism Bring it on, modernists.According to a recent article from Rorate Caeli, the Congregation for Divine Worship is preparing instructions to further implement Traditionis Custodes, with the goal of releasing them next week. The author of the article says that “The instruction will try (among other things) to impose over the global Church, by violent and illegitimate will of the legislator, the blueprint established for the Diocese of Rome by its Cardinal Vicar months ago regarding all Sacraments other than the Holy Eucharist.” Rome’s protocol forbids the celebration of all...

Australian researchers have discovered that negative capacitance could lower the energy used in electronics and computing, which represents 8 percent of global electricity demand. The researchers at four universities within the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET) applied negative capacitance to make topological transistors switch at lower voltage, potentially reducing energy losses by a factor of 10 or more.These very promising results are reported this week at the prestigious International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco. And while challenges remain to making a working benchtop device, the work is covered in a patent application.What are transistors?A...

"I called the law on my own kin! Step on me, Pearl!"

MIAMI, FL—Tourists unloading from the ferry onto Liberty Island in New York Harbor were met with disappointment this week, as the pedestal upon which the Statue of Liberty once stood was empty. Instead, a stationery the size of a king bed lay on the pedestal with a message reading, “Fed up with New York, moving to Florida. - L. Liberty” “I had just clocked into my shift this morning and looked up to see she was gone,” said security guard Feldman Baxter, while complying with the city’s mandates of wearing three masks outdoors, standing 20 feet from anyone else, rubbing...

The CDC’s Flawed Case for Wearing Masks in School The agency’s director has said, repeatedly, that schools without mask mandates have triple the risk of COVID outbreaks. That claim is based on very shaky science.The debate over child masking in schools boiled over again this fall, even above its ongoing high simmer. The approval in late October of COVID-19 vaccines for 5-to-11-year-olds was for many public-health experts an indication that mask mandates could finally be lifted. Yet with cases on the rise in much of the country, along with anxiety regarding the Omicron variant, other experts and some politicians have...

Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney went after former President Donald Trump in her prime-time performance on Monday claiming that private messages of the president’s staff revealed an apathetic leader complicit in the riot at the Capitol as the attack unfolded. “The violence was evident to all — it was covered in real time by almost every news channel,” said Cheney, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked vice chair of the Select Committee on January 6. “But, for 187 minutes, President Trump refused to act when action by our president was required, indeed essential, and compelled by his oath to our Constitution.”...

Vice President Kamala Harris claims that she and President Biden have never discussed their plans for the 2024 election — despite Biden, his aides and allies insisting he will seek a second term. Biden, 79, already is the oldest-ever president and many Democrats doubt he will run again, sparking a mounting rivalry to replace him between Harris, 57, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, 39. But surprisingly, Harris told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Thursday that she and Biden have never talked about 2024 as uncertainty about Biden’s plans fuels tension among Democrats.

Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said Thursday on MSNBC that the accomplishments of President Joe Biden’s administration in his first year in office “dwarf the first-year accomplishments of many other administrations.” Coons said, “This is the first year of the Biden administration. And we have passed huge pieces of their legislative agenda. The American Rescue Plan put $1.9 trillion of investment that helped millions of families, of small businesses, of schools. There’s been 480 million vaccine shots in arms. A year ago this week, the very first vaccines were being delivered. We’re in a very different place from a public health...

You’re hanging around a flagpole with your pals in the freezing cold, and one of them triple-dog-dares you to put your tongue on the pole to see if it sticks. Well, lo and behold, it did stick, so now how do you get it unstuck? I’ve thought about this scenario ever since I was a kid and first saw the cinematic classic A Christmas Story. For some reason I decided that this could happen to me one day and if it did, I needed to know how to get my tongue unstuck from a frozen flagpole without having to call...
