New York City's strict vaccine requirements get even stricter as of Monday. Everyone 12 years old and up now has to show proof of full vaccination to dine in at restaurants, go to the movies, work out in gyms, or attend any kind of indoor performance. For Beata Moon, a composer, pianist and teaching artist in Queens, that means she will not be able to perform a recital in February at Musica Reginae, a community concert space. She cannot attend a March concert at Carnegie Hall, where a piece she composed, setting the words of people experiencing homelessness to music,...

It had been 364 days since his last appearance, and more than a year since his last start, but Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles made the most of his opportunity on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. With starter Justin Fields and backup Andy Dalton out due to injuries, Foles’ name was called. And Foles — who first rose to fame by leading the Philadelphia Eagles to an incredible win in Super Bowl LII after replacing injured starter Carson Wentz late in the season — led the Bears to a 25-24 comeback win on Sunday in the snow. The victory, Chicago’s...

When a 56-year-old farm worker from just outside Kansas City in Missouri, US, began noticing a rash on his waist and arms within hours of chowing down on a hamburger seven years ago, he wasn't sure what to make of it. Like so many with alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), the path from tick bite to meat allergy wasn't a clear-cut one. The hives and rashes didn't always appear after a meal containing meat, after all. Or they could pop up several times in one week. There was a shortness of breath on rare occasions, but nothing so bad it warranted a...

Is the liberal MSM starting to talk about Joe Biden’s issues including his coherence and confusion problems? It seems like they might finally have started approaching the topic, although certainly not calling out everything, as we might. As we noted over the weekend, in a surprising move for CNN, they were honest and reported on his “confusion” when he was talking about test kits with ABC’s David Muir. He repeatedly called test kits “pills,” then corrected himself and then called them “pills” again even after correcting himself. In a remarkably honest report, CNN took notice of it and pointed out...

There is no denying that the last few years have been increasingly difficult for Christians and Christian ministries in North America. The attack on our freedoms is real, and the hostility towards us seems to grow by the day. But this is not the time to feel sorry for ourselves. Not for a moment. Instead, it is the time to take courage. To stand strong. To say, “Here I am, Lord!” We were called to the front lines for such a time as this. I’m quite aware of Christians on our continent who have gone to jail because of their...

California Democrat Eric Swalwell blasted the father who said, “Let’s Go, Brandon,” to Joe Biden during last week’s holiday call and said that he and the Republicans who thought the quip was funny are “indecent to the core.” The congressman who had an alleged affair with a Chinese spy for several years and inexplicably still sits on the House Intelligence and Homeland Security Committees jumped to Twitter on Christmas Day to attack the Oregon father who delivered the LGB joke during the White House holiday call.

Jared's interview from (this morning) starts at 22:00 and runs to 35:15 in this video. Impressive young guy!

No Donald Trump in the White House to drive the news cycle means establishment media outlets are being abandoned, 2021 year-end figures released Monday reveal, as multinational corporate control of America’s news is rejected by the very audiences it seeks to engage. AP reports cable news networks were the main form of evening entertainment for millions of Americans last year. Now those legacy television outlets, alongside digital and print news organizations are suffering in a post-Trump world. Big time. In 2021, weekday prime-time viewership dropped 38 percent at CNN, 34 percent at Fox News Channel and 25 percent at MSNBC,...

Steve Bannon promoted a new alternative cryptocurrency coin named “$FJB” on Thursday’s episode of his podcast “War Room,” telling listeners the coin would help supporters of former President Donald Trump “F Joe Biden” and “fight for America.” As well as serving as the CEO of Trump’s 2016 election campaign, Bannon received a pardon from the former president right before he left the White House in January 2021. In a crowdfunding campaign he launched to raise money for Trump’s border wall program, the political strategist had been charged with fraud. Democrats fabricated the charges in an attempt to damage Trump. In...

@JordanSchachtel Here's the head of Pfizer claiming the shot was a dead end to infection and transmission. Therefore, mass "inoculation" is warranted, because, under his paradigm, COVID would have been eradicated akin to Polio. Of course, he's lying through his teeth. @AlbertBourla Apr 1 Excited to share that updated analysis from our Phase 3 study with BioNTech also showed that our COVID-19 vaccine was 100% effective in preventing #COVID19 cases in South Africa. 100%!

Light weight training benefits include an increase in cardiovascular involvement and a decrease in injury risk. Low-load workouts are also more convenient and less expensive. Learning more about this type of resistance exercise will help you reach your health goals.Most people think you need to lift heavy weights to see results. Yet you can gain the same amount of muscle mass by lifting light weights, according to a December 2017 review in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. These researchers also showed that you can gain the same amount of isometric strength. This type of strength can be useful...

In July, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) hosted a three-day conference to discuss the future of the Islamic Republic and the prospects for a change of government facilitated by the domestic activist community. Those prospects already appeared substantial in the wake of the previous month’s boycott of the country’s presidential election, which reportedly caused voter turnout to be the lowest in the four-decade history of the clerical regime. The boycott inspired NCRI members and supporters to conclude that pressure on the regime had not been seriously alleviated over the past year in spite of the fact that...

The New Zealand government has announced that patients admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 can be killed via euthanasia, according to Scoop.In November, anti-euthanasia group #DefendNZ asked the New Zealand Ministry of Health (MOH) questions about the practice of the nation’s End of Life Choice Act (EOLC Act). One of these questions was, “Could a patient who is severely hospitalised with Covid-19 potentially be eligible for assisted suicide or euthanasia under the Act if a health practitioner viewed their prognosis as less than 6 months?”The EOLC Act states that a person who has a “terminal illness that is likely to...

Edward. O. Wilson, the trailblazing US scientist, professor and author whose study of insects and clarion call to protect Earth earned him the nickname "Darwin's natural heir," has died at age 92. Wilson, whose death was announced Monday by his foundation, was an award-winning biologist and longtime Harvard University research professor, considered the world's leading authority on ants and their behavior. While an entomologist early in his career, he broadened his scope immensely, studying not just insects but the social interactions of birds, mammals and humans, and he effectively—and controversially—established a new field of science known as sociobiology. He was...

The world is heading for a new Cuban missile crisis in Ukraine if the West fails to deal with Russia's security demands 'here and now', Moscow said today. This came amid a new round of major military exercises by Vladimir Putin's troops in an evident bid to warn NATO of the seriousness of the situation ahead of the New Year. Videos showed the latest Russian drills - some close to Ukraine - amid fears Putin will invade if the West fails to meet his demands. Hawkish deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov denied he was exaggerating in comparing the current crisis...

This is not how the romantic notion of “love is blind” is supposed to play out. A young Turkish woman has married the man who threw acid on her face and eyes, leaving her permanently disfigured with impaired vision. Berfin Ozek, 20, tied the knot with Casim Ozan Celtik, 23, this month — just two years after he doused her with the chemical substance during a heated argument, Newsflash first reported. The pair had previously dated and were said to be separated at the time, with Celtik allegedly shouting this despicable cliche at Ozek just before the attack: “If I...

'Thousands Died Because Fauci Ignored Natural Immunity' - With Special Guest Sen. Rand PaulI made some notes while watching this episode: They discuss natural immunity. On conspiracies - "Fauci got worse and worse as time went on" Therapeutics - "They despise anyone who doesn't get the vaccine... They clap and celebrate deaths" More on natural immunity: "They knew in George Washington's time that if you got smallpox you didn't need the vaccine" How the Left are now the biggest advocates of Big Pharma. How Fauci controls funds ("Hundreds of millions to Peter Dasazck and the Wuhan Lab") Rand polled the...

Mark Morgan, former acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, said on Thursday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with host Alex Marlow that the Biden administration exempts migrants crossing the southern border from coronavirus testing and vaccine mandates while imposing such decrees on Americans. President Joe Biden has repeatedly framed acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination as a “patriotic” action, most recently linking vaccines with “patriotism” and getting vaccinated as a “patriotic duty.” Morgan said, “[Joe Biden] said that it’s unpatriotic for you not to get a vaccine. Meanwhile, it’s this president’s policies that have incentivized two million apprehensions during...

Scientists have never been able to adequately explain where lightning comes from. Now the first detailed observations of its emergence inside a cloud have exposed how electric fields grow strong enough to let bolts fly. VIDEO AT LINK.......................... In this animation of a lightning flash recorded by the LOFAR radio telescope network, each dot is the location of a radio source. The flash, which is 5 kilometers wide, grew out of a small region of the cloud measuring tens of meters across. During a summer storm in 2018, a momentous lightning bolt flashed above a network of radio telescopes in...
