CNN Medical Analyst Leana Wen joined Victor Blackwell on Monday afternoon to offer advice for Americans as Omicron panic grips mainstream airwaves ahead of Christmas and New Year's gatherings. And one warning she gave viewers about masks is raising eyebrows. "We should be keeping the events that are safe and also the events that have fun for people too," Wen — who previously served as president of Planned Parenthood before being ousted after less than one year with the organization — said of New Year's Eve celebrations. "We can't be canceling everything especially if we're going to be living with...

The National Football League and National Basketball League get the lion’s share of attention pertaining to Covid-19 because they’re popular sports leagues that have gone to extreme measures to get as many players and coaches vaccinated as possible. But the National Hockey League has actually beaten the other two major sports leagues that are active right now in vaccinations with over 99.5% of their players fully-jabbed. Only 4 remain unjabbed. Based on everything we’ve heard from Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, and the vaxx-nannies in government, that means the NHL should be completely protected from Covid-19. But as we have all...

Sir David Spiegelhalter (Professor of Statistics at Cambridge) has suggested the increase rate of hospitalisations "may be slowing down", with it not "looking quite as bad" as once thought. "If the case counts are accurate, then *growth* in new cases per day of Omicron in London has crashed - i.e. new cases are roughly constant. "There are still a LOT of new cases per day but if there really is zero growth in new cases then that is highly encouraging." He suggested the change in rate - different to the amount of cases being detected, which is still very high...

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America 12/21/21Joe Biden was supposedly “elected” because he was going to quickly get rid of COVID-19, sometimes referred to as the China Virus. How’s that working out?

In a little under an hour, Joe Biden is expected to address the nation about the new Omicron variant of the virus.An aide claims the administration is “prepared for the rising case levels” and that Biden will explain how it “will respond to this challenge.”The Omicron variant is highly contagious. Some models, along with data from Europe, suggest the number of cases could potentially double every two days. Of course, you can’t really trust models, but this variant is spreading rapidly.The good news is that it doesn’t appear to be particularly dangerous. Symptoms are generally described as those of a...

With the mainstream media scrambling to keep the fear factor over the Omicron factor pegged to the Max, with much of Europe in the process of locking down amid the 5th covid wave despite cases now clearly declining across most countries...... while in the US the Biden administration - too scared for now to impose a new round of draconian lockdowns - set to deploy 1,000 military troops to back up hospitals if they face a wave of omicron patients in January and February, Deutsche Bank's Shreyas Gopal finds some actually good news.Noting that Omicron has spread like wildfire in...

Ronald Reagan was arguably the last truly great and transformative American President. His story starts in a small town in Illinois and ends with the fall of Communism. At the time, he was the oldest man to be President, showing Americans that advanced age didn’t mean diminished energy – he united a nation like few have before and none have since.

House Democrats appear to be making up more stuff about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in what’s become a routine practice for their latest hoax.Last week on the House floor, Maryland Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin read a text message sent to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows purportedly from a “House lawmaker” to overthrow President Joe Biden’s electoral college majority. “HERE’s an AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY,” the text read. “Why can t [sic] the states of [Georgia] [North Carolina] [Pennsylvania] and other R controlled state houses declare this is BS (where conflicts and election not called that night) and just...

President Joe Biden will give an address to the nation Tuesday afternoon about his administration's plans to combat the latest variant of Wuhan coronavirus. For months Biden has called for Americans who do not want to take the vaccine, including doctors and nurses in medical facilities across the country, to be fired. Many of them have been, causing shortages and a lack of proper care. Here is one example from New York: The emergency department at a Nassau County hospital has temporarily closed due to nursing staff shortages as a result of New York's vaccine mandate.Officials at Mount Sinai South...

NASCAR driver Brandon Brown has finally broken his silence about the “Let’s Go Brandon” chant that has swept the nation.Back in October, when Brown won the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Talladega, the crowd was chanting “F**k Joe Biden,” while NBC Sports’ Kelli Stavast told her audience that they were chanting “Let’s go, Brandon.” Brandon Brown suddenly became the most famous sports figure Americans have never heard of, as “Let’s go Brandon” became the popular way to express dissatisfaction with a disastrous Biden regime propped up by its establishment media propaganda arm. But Brown himself has remained silent about the...

Stephen A. Smith has tested positive for COVID-19, the ESPN personality announced Tuesday on “First Take.” Smith, 54, appeared virtually on the show and said his positive test result was the reason he missed Monday’s episode. The longtime broadcaster said he is experiencing mild symptoms and had a fever over the weekend. Smith noted that he has gotten two Pfizer vaccine shots, but has not yet received a booster.

If you wanted to create an army of conspiracy theorists who don’t trust the medical establishment and increase vaccine hesitancy in the populace, what would you do? You’d suggest using microchips to store vaccine status, of course! And a Swedish company is doing just that—it has developed a subdural microchip implant that can be used to store vaccine passports. The company, called Epicenter, which specializes in subdermal microchips, says the implants, which are the size of a grain of rice, use near-field communications (NFC) technology, which can be easily read by common devices like cell phones. Similar to a QR...

Senate Democrats are signaling they plan to take more of a hardball approach to pressuring Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to support their climate and social spending agenda after months of kid-glove treatment failed to deliver his vote. Democrats are threatening to drive a wedge between Manchin and his many lower-income constituents who stand to reap billions of dollars in federal benefits if Build Back Better passes, including an enhanced child tax credit, lower Medicare-negotiated prescription drug prices and subsidies to cover the cost of child care. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday said Manchin will have to repeatedly...

Last week, in a coordinated effort, Joe Biden’s White House issued a foolishly disturbing message that he seems certain to repeat today. On December 16, Biden declared,Due to the steps we’ve taken, Omicron has not yet spread as fast as it would’ve otherwise done and as is happening in Europe. But it’s here now, and it’s spreading, and it’s going to increase. For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm.

Is the Latin Mass a Safe Haven for Queer Catholics?Is the Latin Mass a safe haven for queer Catholics?This question, though not phrased so directly, arose in an essay recently published by the National Catholic Reporter. Written by Stephen Adubato, a New Jersey religion teacher, the piece, “Do you think everyone Latin Mass is an ideologue? You may be wrong,” explores why some communities of people are more drawn to the old rite (which Pope Francis just last weekend issued further restrictions on). The communities named include autistic people, leftist Millennials, deaf people–and gay Catholics, including, perhaps, Oscar Wilde.Wilde, the...

The Republican National Committee (RNC) outraised the Democrat National Committee (DNC) by over a million dollars in November, heading into a brutal election year. Heading into the midterm election year — which is typically seen as a referendum on the president’s party — both national political party organizations are looking to build a war chest in anticipation of a brutal year. The Democrats in the House are looking to protect their slim majority. At the same time, the Republicans appear to have the upper hand in regaining the majority they lost nearly four years ago, and the Senate split in...

It’s not a very cleverly hidden agenda when the Democrat Party fights against Cubans fleeing communism for entry into the US for safe harbor and a future. Simultaneously, that same Democrat Party supports illegal immigration from countries throughout North and South America as they safely cross the open southern US border. This recurring specter of communism strategically hides, so even those that practice it won’t call it by name. Saul Alinsky’s playbook, “Rules for Radicals,” teaches subversiveness by redefining words and vocabulary meanings.

During a hearing on the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Adam Schiff offered a document he contended is proof that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Oh) texted former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to instruct former Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. It turned out to be a doctored document. Schiff defended what he called his "creatively enhanced version a common practice in our field. Look, the Steele Dossier was entirely bogus, but it led to the appointment of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller and four years of investigation of President Trump--a...

In a year-end heist, thieves got their hands on $1 million worth of silver bullion, which disappeared from a truck traveling between Sydney and Melbourne in Australia. Police are appealing to the public for help, releasing the images of the silver bars. “Robbery and Serious Crime Squad detectives are appealing for information after silver bullion valued at $1 million was stolen from a truck traveling between Sydney and Melbourne,” the New South Wales Police Force said in a press release. The missing silver was reported when the truck arrived in Melbourne on November 29 after leaving New South Wales on...
