In this toxic era of bitter cultural division, few things divide people as bitterly as Critical Race Theory (CRT), which isn’t a surprise, given that CRT divides. It divides people into groups pitted against one another, into categories of oppressed vs. oppressor. Your group defines you. It’s an ideology that stereotypes and separates based on race—ironically, in the name of opposing racism. In that regard, it smacks of so many bad ideas on the political Left, such as the “tolerance” movement and its rigid intolerance toward those who dare disagree, or the “diversity” movement and its lack of diversity toward...

It is no secret that the radical left wants to take over healthcare as we know it. For years, they have been pushing universal healthcare, Medicare for all, and any other catchphrase they can come up with. Now, it seems they are willing to use the Omicron wave as a means to implement some of these measures. The White House announced that it will start implementing testing sites around the country for COVID amid the Omicron variant’s spread across the US. The first testing site is set to open in New York City before Christmas according to NBC News. This...

The National Aquarium, in Baltimore, Maryland, rescued 30 cold-stunned sea turtles from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in November. The turtles were stabilized at the New England Aquarium’s Animal Care Center and were then transferred to Baltimore, according to a news release.

Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager acquitted for two fatal 2020 shootings in Wisconsin, is warning media outlets that he might be filing lawsuits. At a gathering of conservatives Monday hosted by Turning Point USA, Rittenhouse, 18, said "accountability is coming, I'd be on the lookout" — prompting cheers from the audience, the Arizona Republic reported. In a separate interview with Fox News at the conference site, Rittenhouse was asked if he thought a trend was developing in which the media was starting to face consequences for its coverage of people like him and Nick Sandmann — who recently settled with a...

Rhode Island is one of the latest states to reintroduce a mask mandate, which went into effect on Monday. Gov. Daniel McKee (D) announced the mandate this month, requiring “masking or proof of vaccination at certain indoor venues, including entertainment venues, retail, places of worship, manufacturing, and offices,” according to the state’s website. It applies to indoor establishments with a capacity of 250 individuals or more.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) this week announced the state updated its face covering advisory, urging residents to “wear a mask in public indoor spaces” moving forward. “We updated the face covering advisory today to urge all residents to wear a mask in public indoor spaces,” Baker stated during State House briefing.

NYC Mayor says a ‘vaccination team’ will come to your house, give you the booster shot and $100

President Joe Biden is expected to announce Tuesday the purchase of a half-billion, at-home rapid COVID-19 tests and the mobilization of 1,000 military medical personnel to overburdened hospitals in an effort to confront surging COVID-19 infections and the new, highly-transmissible omicron variant.

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...
