More evidence of corruption at the NIH. I couldn't find a scientist that would be willing to defend the NIH's recommendation in a recorded interview. The NIH recently acknowledged that fluvoxamine completed a Phase 3 study showing it works that was published in the Lancet Global Health. The study noted that “there was one death in the fluvoxamine group and 12 in the placebo group for the per-protocol population (OR 0·09; 95% CI 0·01–0·47).” In plain English, if you started the drug early (shortly after symptoms) and you took at least 80% of the doses you were told to take...

On a recent morning, Neil Meehan opened a spreadsheet he has come to dread. It showed the number of intensive-care beds available in an area of New Hampshire that is home to 350,000 people: two. A day earlier, there was just one. Very often there are none. Meehan, the chief physician executive at Exeter Hospital, has worked in emergency medicine for nearly three decades. He has lost track of the number of unprecedented things he has witnessed

Representative Madeleine Dean (D-PA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was “not a serious American” who is “running very, very scared” from the congressional probe of the January 6 Capitol riot. Dean said, “He is not a serious legislator.

He doesn’t care what happened on January 6 and the lies that led up to it that he participated in. And he’s running quite scared. That is what we are actually seeing with Jim...

Christmas, along with the rest of the holiday season, is full of emotions. There's the joy of children thinking about Santa, the happiness of being together with family and friends, and the excitement of Christmas morning that doesn't diminish too much with age.

And that latter part of the emotional rollercoaster is exactly what Chevrolet dove into head-first with its "Holiday Ride" promotional video and shortened version that's been airing on TV. Opening on...

You know my name! Lord Jesus, as I thought about the song, "You Know My Name," I thought about all the babies who were aborted and had not received a name. I am so thankful, for you cover the innocent for our horrible mistakes. I know every one who enters heaven has their name written in the book of life. So Lord, these children have been named by you. Lord Jesus, we lift up the supreme court to you. We pray that they would not bow to the political correctness of those who hate you. We pray you give...

The editor of the Lancet medical journal has admitted that Peter Daszak – a leading signatory of a letter published by the journal discrediting man-made origins of COVID-19 – had “significant” conflict of interests and did not declare them at the beginning of the pandemic. The admission from Dr. Richard Horton came during a grilling from British Members of Parliament on the Science and Technology Select Committee. The stark revelation confirms a lot of early-National Pulse reportage on Daszak, the Wuhan lab, and the interconnected nature of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Horton’s public acknowledgment of Daszak’s conflicts of interest discredits...
