The number of immigrants in the United States has reached an all-time record. According to a report released on December 20, 2021, 46.2 million foreign-born people are residing in the country. Per a report by the Center for Immigration Studies covering the Census Bureau’s monthly Current Population Study (CPS), immigrants comprised 14.2% of the U.S population as of November 2021. Katelyn Caralle and Morgan Phillips of The Daily Mail noted that “This figure is the highest the U.S. immigration population has been in 111 years.” In a similar vein, this is a threefold increase of the share of the population...

Henry Sire Backs Rumours: Francis Seriously Ill“As the New Year approaches, I should mention that many Vatican insiders say that Francis is ill with cancer and has limited time left,” the historian Henry Sire wrote on Twitter.com (December 27).LifeSiteNews.com journalist Maike Hickson has also heard these persistent rumours from her Vatican contacts,“Cardinals are said to be meeting in preparation for a future conclave. God finally is the author of life, and He will decide. We keep praying for Francis and resist his errors,” she comments.

President Biden joked earlier this month that he doesn’t follow his poll numbers "anymore." In an appearance on the late-night talk shows, Biden quipped to "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon that he kept an eye on his approval ratings earlier in his presidency, "but now that they’re in the 40s, I don't pay attention." All kidding aside, it would be understandable if the president avoided closely watching his polls as his once solid numbers have slid five straight months. Biden’s approval rating hovered in the low to mid 50s during his first six months in the White House. But the...

Is there anything positive we can say about 2021? Yes. We can say that it was marginally better than 2020. Granted, this is not high praise. It’s like saying that somebody is marginally nicer than Hitler. But it’s something. What was better about 2021? For one thing, people finally emerged from their isolated pandemic cocoons and started connecting with others. Granted, the vast majority of the people who connected with us this year wanted to discuss our car’s extended warranty. But still. Another improvement was that most stores got rid of those one-way anti-COVID arrows on the floor. Remember those,...

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials on Monday cut isolation restrictions for Americans who catch the coronavirus from 10 to five days, and similarly shortened the time that close contacts need to quarantine. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said the guidance is in keeping with growing evidence that people with the coronavirus are most infectious in the two days before and three days after symptoms develop. The decision also was driven by a recent surge in COVID-19 cases, propelled by the omicron variant. Early research suggests omicron may cause milder illnesses than earlier versions of the coronavirus....

The eco-extremists at the liberal Guardian should realize by now that the internet is forever. The outlet freaked out over 17 years ago about a frosty future thanks to a ridiculously inaccurate Pentagon prediction. The Guardian published a report in 2004 sounding the alarm bells over a “secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs” and obtained by sister newspaper The Observer. Here was the harrowing message, according to The Guardian: “[M]ajor European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020.”

Chinese scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (A.I.) system that can examine “evidence” and charge people with “crimes,” as defined by China’s totalitarian parody of a Western justice system. The developers claim the A.I. prosecutor is over 97 percent accurate when it files charges. The South China Morning Post (SCMP) on Sunday reported the system was “built and tested by the Shanghai Pudong People’s Procuratorate, the country’s largest and busiest district prosecution office.” The project was managed by the “big data and knowledge management laboratory” at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which predicted the robo-prosecutor would reduce the workload of...

President Trump in Thursday's debate responded to Democratic nominee Joe Biden's call for plexiglass at restaurants amid the coronavirus pandemic by saying plexiglass is "not the answer." During a portion of the debate focused on the pandemic, Biden said restaurants will need to have plexiglass dividers, among other resources, "so people cannot infect one another." The president countered, "When you talk about plexiglass, these are restaurants that are dying." "These are businesses with no money," Trump said. "Putting a plexiglass is unbelievably expensive and it's not the answer. I mean, are you gonna sit there in a cubicle wrapped around...

This policy follows the 18 December...

“[Christ] is the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15). In Christ, the invisible God became visible. Sometimes I listen to different preachers on the radio or watch them on television, and I get tremendously frustrated. That’s because so many of them present a confusing picture of who Christ really is. Since there are so many who distort the Christian faith, there should be in every believer a desire to defend it. The apostle Paul certainly had that desire. Since the heretics at Colosse viewed Jesus as a lesser spirit who emanated from God, Paul refutes that with a powerful...

When God says to humankind, “Believe,” he demands something that’s wholly beyond reason. Faith is totally illogical. Its very definition has to do with something unreasonable. Scripture tells us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1, NKJV). We’re being told in short, “There is no tangible substance, no visible evidence.” Despite this, we’re asked to believe. I’m addressing this subject for an important reason. Right now, all over the world, multitudes of believers are bowed low in discouragement. The fact is that we’re all going to continue facing discouragement in...

WILTON MANORS, Fla. – At least 2 children were killed and three others were injured after the driver of a vehicle mowed them down in Wilton Manors Monday afternoon, officials said. The crash occurred in the 2400 block of Northwest Ninth Avenue in Broward County. Fort Lauderdale Battalion Chief Stephen Gollan told WPLG in addition to the 2 fatalities, three other kids were taken to Broward Health Medical Center — with one child listed as critical and the others in stable condition. Residents were being asked to avoid the area as police conducted an investigation.

What do you think is the percentage of folks (legally) in this country that have not elected to get the virus jab?I don't have a clue but would guess 50%.Do you think that's too high of a number of the "vaccinated"?

President Joe Biden left Monday for his beach vacation in Delaware after admitting in a video call with U.S. governors that there was no federal solution to the coronavirus pandemic. “Thank you very much. Look, there is no federal solution,” Biden said as he began speaking to the governors. “This gets solved at a state level.”

The father who went viral on Christmas Eve for getting Joe Biden to say 'Let's go Brandon' said he used the public call with the president to 'voice my disapproval' of the administration. Jared Schmeck, 35, did an interview with former Trump aide Steve Bannon on Monday to explain the exchange and his intentions behind using the phrase that has become synonymous with 'F**k Joe Biden.' 'For me, 'Let's Go Brandon – and I've said it in other articles – I am a Christian man,' Schmeck said during Bannon's War Room podcast on Monday. 'For me, it's God first and...

The VAERS data displayed in the charts below is based on the December 17, 2021 update.According to Healthline.com, there are two main types of cerebrovascular accident, or stroke: an ischemic stroke is caused by a blockage; a hemorrhagic stroke is caused by the rupture of a blood vessel. Both types of stroke deprive part of the brain of blood and oxygen, causing brain cells to die.I used the Medalerts.org website to search VAERS for cerebrovascular events reported post vaccination for all vaccines published to the database since 1990. The table below shows that Covid-19 'vaccines' adverse events reports accounted for...
