It’s just the flu, bro. One thing the globalists may push for is a Global treaty on the pandemic, as it relates to vaccines mandates. It will never happen in the USA due to the senate, even with Biden in charge, but it is fascinating to watch idiot countries try and do another Climate Change Kyoto Accord, but for vaccines. https://m.republicworld.com/india-news/general-news/who-chief-scientist-says-deliberations-for-global-treaty-afoot-to-combat-future-pandemics.html - Democrats always say the wrong thing and also do the wrong thing. Even though Biden is lying and he will actually attempt national vaccine mandates, it is impressive that he said that there will be no federal solution...

Huge cargo ships carrying liquid gas that were destined for China have changed course and are now heading towards the UK as Europe remains trapped in a major supply crunch. While the Continent’s energy crisis and high prices have attracted ships away from other parts of the world, the new arrivals are now bringing prices down. Benchmark Dutch front-month gas fell for a fifth day yesterday, dropping as much as 9.2pc in Amsterdam. The UK gas price rocketed to a record 470p per therm last week, up from just 50p in April, but has since fallen to under 270p. James...

The president said he was on the phone most of the day to discuss a plan to make 500 million at-home rapid tests available to Americans via direct order to address the spike in infections caused by the Omicron variant. Key details of the program, which was unveiled last week, remain unknown. For example, it is unclear how many tests each household will be allowed to request. Nor is it known how quickly they will be mailed or when a website will be launched for people to order tests.

In his Christmas message, the Maronite archbishop recalls 11 years of war, sanctions, misery and migration. The commitment of the people to live "with dignity" despite the many problems, austerity and long isolation. Families "poor and cold" like in the manger of Bethlehem remain "firm in the faith". Damascus (AsiaNews) - For 11 years Syrian Christians (and others) have been "a heroic family" that has courageously endured "a war, compounded by sanctions, blockades, migration, misery, death and indifference," writes Msgr Samir Nassar, Maronite Archbishop of Damascus, in his Christmas message to the faithful. The entire community is preparing for the...

As someone who has been opposed to the damn vaccines since day one I'm feeling very despondent at the moment. Our leaders we look up to are seemingly pro-Vaxx and are doubling down even in the face of mounting evidence that they do not work and are dangerous. I don't want to come across as some crazy person but the next phase of their plan is to inject newborn babies with these experimental shots and then to mandate them. When does the madness end? I can't be the only one who is feeling dismayed about all this. I'd like to...

On Christmas Eve, Dr. Anthony Fauci turned 81. However, he is not retiring just yet. If he did, Fauci would reap the largest federal retirement package in U.S. history. Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com estimate Dr. Fauci’s annual retirement would exceed $350,000. Thereafter, his pension and benefits would continue to increase through annual cost-of-living adjustments. Fauci has 55 years of service as a federal employee. For the second year in a row, Fauci was the most highly compensated federal employee and out earned the president, four star generals, and roughly 4.3 million of his colleagues. As director of the National Institute...

In other words, of the 130 million U.S. households, there are 23.1 million "nuclear family" homes in the U.S. -- the fewest since 1959.

Harry Reid, political pugilist and longtime Senate majority leader, dies Former Sen. Harry Reid (Nev.), one of the Senate’s longest-serving majority leaders and a Democrat who played a central role in enacting President Obama’s biggest legislative accomplishments, died Tuesday at age 82. The death was announced by longtime political reporter Jon Ralston, who called Reid "probably the most important elected official in Nevada history."

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who rose from poverty in rural Nevada to the heights of Democratic politics, has died at the age of 82. Jon Ralston, CEO of the Nevada Independent, announced the news Tuesday evening."Harry Reid, probably the most important elected official in Nevada history, has died at 82. My condolences to his family and friends," he said in a tweet.

Andrea Churna thought someone was trying to kill her when she called Redmond police for help the night of Sept. 20, 2020. Raised around cops, she did what she was asked to do when police arrived to find her armed with a handgun. She put the weapon down, walked out of her apartment unarmed, clad in a T-shirt and yoga pants, hands up, and laid face down on the carpeted hallway floor outside her door — “proned out” as officers at the scene described it. None of that kept police from killing her. An officer, just 18 months out of...

On Friday, a Chicago Democratic lawmaker appeared in a Fox News interview where he torched Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) handling of crime in the city, describing her as “hypocritical” and saying she “played politics with people’s lives.” Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez, who has served in elected office since 2012, outlined how Lightfoot previously refused help from the Trump administration to alleviate violent crime in the city. Now that President Biden is in office, Lightfoot announced that she would accept help from the federal government. “Most Chicagoans find it very much hypocritical that the mayor, 15 months ago, told Donald Trump...

FORMER SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID DEAD AT 82

Harry Reid, former Senate majority leader and Democratic kingmaker, dies at 82 Harry Reid, who rose from abject poverty in rural Nevada to become one of the most influential state and national leaders, died on Tuesday, sources confirmed to The Nevada Independent. He was 82. Additional details were not immediately available. Reid was thought to be ending the near of his life when he underwent surgery in 2018 for pancreatic cancer, which has one of the lowest survival rates. Last summer, however, Reid announced that he underwent an experimental surgery and was declared in “complete remission” and cancer-free. Over more...

COVID is here to stay most likely. It’s time to admit it. We have three vaccines that are safe and effective. More are being developed as we speak. Like the flu, there will be multiple vaccines to come possibly. And like flu and cold season, this is when COVID will become more prevalent. The virus has a high survivability rate. Over 200 million are vaccinated. With this latest Omicron variant, which is less lethal, it will only give more people natural immunity. The era of lockdowns is over. Joe Biden said no nationwide one will be enacted. Then again, he...

If only they would apply that lesson to other goods and services.At the beginning of 2022, tax rates for marijuana cultivated in California are set to increase, even though black market sales completely dominate the retail market in the Golden State. Experts estimate that about three-quarters of all marijuana sales in California happen not through legal dispensaries, but through unlicensed vendors. California voters legalized the cultivation and sale of marijuana for recreational use in 2016, but extremely high taxes and oppressive regulations have caused the rollout to be a disaster. The tax increase set to hit on New Year's...

The Holiday Bowl between the North Carolina State Wolfpack and the University of California Los Angeles Bruins was canceled Tuesday due to a COVID-19 outbreak within UCLA’s program, ESPN reported. "We are extremely grateful to the Holiday Bowl, students, fans, sponsors and the people of San Diego for their support this week," UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond said in a statement. "We are deeply disappointed for our young men in the football program that worked extremely hard for this opportunity. My heart goes out to them. The health and safety of our students will always be our North Star."

Defund as I say, not as I do. Incoming city Comptroller Brad Lander is taking an NYPD security detail — even though he wants to slash funding for the police department. When the city passed its annual spending bill in June, the outgoing Brooklyn Democratic councilman said he was “disturbed that this agreement increases the NYPD budget by nearly $200 million and increases headcount at both NYPD and the DOC.” He added, “All neighborhoods need and deserve to be safe, and we must confront rising levels of gun violence. But NYC already has more police officers per capita than nearly...
