U.S.—Americans opening their mailboxes were greeted with a wonderful holiday surprise, as the White House had mailed them Christmas cards with the heartwarming message, “You will get sick and die this winter.” The Christmas cards are part of the Biden Administration’s recent uplifting Christmas messaging campaign, which kicked off when Biden announced with jovial flair, “We are looking at a winter of severe illness and death.” The hope-filled greeting cards were packaged in a beautiful, glittering gift basket alongside a vaccine-filled syringe and a pack of abortion pills, all nestled in a bed of now-worthless shredded dollar bills.

The appeals went to Kavanaugh because of geography – he oversees emergency appeals from the Sixth Circuit. The Supreme Court is not considering the full validity of the OSHA ETS on vaccines. It is only considering whether to temporarily halt the implementation of the rule while litigation in lower courts decides the issue on the merits. If the rule goes into effect when the Biden administration wants it to, tens of millions of workers in businesses across the country will be subject to the mandate and forced to either get a vaccination or submit to a weekly COVID testing regime....

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Monday that the city will require COVID-19 vaccinations to enter most indoor spaces starting on Jan. 15, as part of a campaign to increase vaccinations called "B Together." Additionally, Wu announced that those working in the listed indoor facilities will also be required to be fully vaccinated. The mandate will require that those entering indoor dining, bar, nightclub, fitness, movie theaters, concert venues, museums, sports arenas, and other entertainment facilities show a CDC vaccination card, a digital image of a CDC vaccination card or another official vaccine record, or using an official vaccine verification app.

01 Scrupulosity, also known as Religious OCD, is a subtype of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in which people experience debilitating obsessions and compulsions about their faith. 02 Jamie's struggles with scrupulosity began in childhood. By high school, she was experiencing intense spiritual anxiety that wouldn’t be diagnosed as OCD for 11 years. 03 Jamie thought her intrusive thoughts were the voice of the Holy Spirit, which validated their contents and gave them control over her sense of morality. 04 At the age of 26, she finally received a proper diagnosis and sought help. While healing, she has been able to hang...

If you wish, you may express your gratitude and encouragement to Senator Manchin to change parties at this page.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to allow the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private companies with more than 100 employees to remain in place, dissolving a ruling from the Fifth Circuit which had placed a temporary hold on the controversial policy last month. In early November, President Joe Biden and his administration finalized the mandate, which was issued as an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) by the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It was promptly met with several lawsuits, including conservative groups and companies like the American Family Association and The Daily Wire, as...

The Salvation Army is hosting a two-day racial justice forum in Illinois in an effort to "help alleviate the pain of suffering humanity within our communities and institutions" after the organization sparked controversy last month with a racism guide that it has since retracted. The Young Adult Racial Justice Forum, hosted by the Salvation Army Metropolitan Division, will take place in Hoffman Estates near Chicago on Jan. 8-Jan. 9 and will feature theologian and activist Esau McCaulley as a guest speaker. "We believe racial justice is an urgent issue close to the heart of God," the event description states, "and...

The State Bureau of Investigation said that the suspicion against former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko concerned treason and smuggling of coal from the temporarily occupied territories of Donbas, the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation reports. "The Fifth President of Ukraine has been informed about the suspicion of treason and aiding and abetting terrorist organizations," the statement reads. Poroshenko, according to the investigation, facilitated the activities of Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics terrorist organizations, acting with the prior conspiracy of a group of citizens, including representatives of Russia's top leadership. Assistance was provided by payments to militant-controlled...

Sen. Joe Manchin's bombshell decision to sink President Joe economic agenda has reignited rumors that he may defect from the Democratic Party next year. Axios reported early Monday that people around Manchin are discussing him leaving. It did not name any. Those sources said Manchin would prefer to be an independent and caucus with Democrats — the same arrangement as Sen. Bernie Sanders — than to fully switch sides and join the Republicans. The conservative West Virginia senator on Sunday said he could not support Biden's $1.75 trillion "Build Back Better" spending plan and told Fox News: "I can't get...

Heather Mac Donald, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and contributing editor at City Journal, said an ongoing “crime wave” across America’s largest cities would be shut down “if white children start getting shot in drive-bys.” “The thing that would really turn it around and get the police back doing what they should be doing is if white children start getting shot in drive-bys, if whites were killed at the rate of blacks at drive-bys,” Mac Donald said on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Warning that extremism in the ranks is increasing, Pentagon officials are issuing detailed new rules prohibiting service members from actively engaging in extremist activities. The new guidelines come nearly a year after some current and former service members participated in the riot at the U.S. Capitol, triggering a broad department review.

The Democratic leaders of both Long Island counties have joined with dozens of Republican officials around the state to defy Gov. Kathy Hochul’s private-sector mask mandate — and boost the ranks of renegade county governments to nearly two-thirds the total. “While we will not be actively enforcing the mandate, we will respond to complaints and assist businesses with education and compliance however we can,” Democratic Nassau County Executive Laura Curran told The Post on Friday. Curran’s comment came after Republican Bruce Blakeman, who beat her in November, said he would refuse to enforce the mask mandate once he’s sworn in...

The new map has revealed a new substructure of the Milky Way’s outer disk using data from the Gaia space misison. Credit: C. Laporte et al. (MNRAS, 2021) An international team of astronomers led by researcher Chervin Laporte of the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB-IEEC) has revealed a new map of the Milky Way’s outer disk using data from the Gaia space misison. The findings have been published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. “Typically, this region of the Milky Way has remained poorly explored due to the intervening dust which...

Follow the New York Post’s live coverage in the trial of alleged Jeffrey Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell, which began last month in Manhattan Federal Court. 32 minutes ago Defense now delivering closing statement By Ben Feuerherd and Tamar Lapin Defense attorney Laura Menninger told the jury that Maxwell “is an innocent woman wrongfully accused of crimes she did not commit.” “Ghislaine Maxwell is not Jeffrey Epstein,” Menninger said, arguing that prosecutors are targeting the disgraced socialite because of their failure to bring Epstein to trial. Regarding the testimony of Maxwell’s four accusers, the lawyer declared: “Memories have been manipulated in...

Democrat lawmakers have warned another round of federal coronavirus stimulus aid may be necessary in the wake of the emergence of the omicron variant of the virus. Despite Biden’s 2020 promise he would shut down the virus before announcing in July the United States was closer to “declaring our independence from a deadly virus,” the appearance of the omicron variant has caused Democrats to wonder if additional coronavirus aid is necessary.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) issued a mea culpa Friday after he was caught attending an event linked to the Communist Party USA. What is the background? The Connecticut People's World Committee hosted its annual Amistad Awards last Saturday, Dec. 11. Not only did Blumenthal attend the event, but he honored the award winners with "certificates of special recognition" from the United States Senate, according to the Yankee Institute. The problem is: The Connecticut People's World Committee is directly associated with the Communist Party USA, and last Saturday's award ceremony was hosted in honor of the Communist Party USA's 102nd birthday....

Well, the Dow is down 600+ points today. Bloomberg News is blaming 1) Omicron (that we already knew was gaining steam), 2) Manchin saying “No” on Build Back Better (I predict that Senate Democrats will reach an agreement with Manchin to screw over the American people after the new year begins), but not a mention of China real estate debacle or the decline in oil prices. Here is the three day decline in the Dow and the three day decline in West Texas Intermediate Crude futures. Likely declining because of an expected slow down in the economy, partly due to...

Following a crowded day of defense witness testimonies including the questioning of Ms. Espinoza (a former Epstein and Maxwell assistant) and Dr. Loftus, (a false memory expert) Friday’s session would commence rather differently. A lengthy clarification from Judge Nathan pertaining to prior deposition documents (which are related to a defense witness) would open proceedings. Nathan would also inform the defense that they would be required to produce specific documents if another witness is to testify. Maxwell’s lawyer suggested they may call a witness from the UK and a law enforcement witness at a later time. Morning proceedings would continue with...
