This was finally the year that cruise lines began sailing en masse again, but the journey has been more Gilligan's Island than Love Boat. The New Year is also already starting on the wrong foot with a new sea storm moving in as fresh COVID-19 case counts hit all-time highs. It's not a very bon voyage. The hardest hit of the travel industries was hoping to end the year with an exclamation point. Instead we find ourselves heading into 2022 with another question mark. Rough waters It's taken a long time for the cruising industry to start up again in...

Without warning The Gateway Pundit was banned from Paypal earlier today. The Gateway Pundit is one of the top 250 websites in the United States today and had over 900,000,000 page views in 2021. We continue to grow despite constant attacks, smears, limited social media, and lawsuits.We have never violated any of Paypal’s bylaws — BUT we are conservative and Pro-Trump.They did not give us a reason for the banning but says, “it’s contractual right to cease doing business with you pursuant to PayPal’s User Agreement.”

Do we have an alternative to the strife and oft-failed “New Year’s Resolutions”? Here are some notes I’ve written down the last few days while reading the wonderful 365-day devotional, “Destined To Reign Devotional” by Joseph Prince. Can’t find the contents of the devotional online anymore. Looks like you’ll just have to buy it, but it is well worth it. This is my tenth year through it and it continues to offer blessings and revelations. To bless you going into the new year, I thought I’d share some notes below that I wrote down for each referenced devotion: Date: December...

The jab injured pilot says he felt something "pop" in his head while landing a passenger jet and has no memory of touching down. He's no longer able to fly due to "vaccine injury" so he's suing the Biden Administration because the mandate broke the FAA's own rules and regulations. Bitchute Link to Bitchute

I'm working up a paper I can print with a list of the best and most science-based links to hand to vaccine believers.Many of them are now doubting but need to find out more. If any ask me, I could hand them a list of websites on, say - a quarter sheet of paper. I might make a t-shirt with this list as well.I think Stew Peters is great but he's not on the list because he's a little sensational - questioning vaccine believers aren't ready for that. I just say that as an example. Here's my list so far.https://www.truthforhealth.orghttps://drstevenhatfill.com/https://www.rwmalonemd.comhttps://childrenshealthdefense.orghttps://lcaction.org/vaccinehttps://c19early.comhttps://stevekirsch.substack.com

So I find out today I've been cancelled by "neighborly" NextDoor. This is absurd - and perhaps I was "reported" (snitched) by the last jerk I replied to last week. He was telling everyone how there aren't many of us (around here - indeed) and we're just posting alot (not true) and WE SHOULD REPORT THEM AND GET THEM BANNED. I gave him a piece of my mind in public. That goes for ND - and FB, and YT also.

Texas Secretary of State John Scott today released a progress report upon conclusion of Phase 1 of the state's full forensic audit of the 2020 General Election. The report, which outlines initial findings regarding the security and integrity of Texas' election systems in Collin, Dallas, Harris and Tarrant counties, shows that: Statewide, a total of 509 potential cross-state duplicate votes were cast in the November 2020 General Election - meaning these individuals may have cast a ballot in both Texas and another state. Of those, 9 cast ballots in Collin County, 12 cast ballots in Dallas County, 27 cast ballots...

[...] Why were they cheating? In her book, Consalvo describes an idea called "gaming capital". Being good at a game brings a social cachet that elevates you within the community. Good players want to maintain their statuses and be sought out as experts. "There's this knowledge that you get from deep play of a particular game… and that's something that you can share with other folks," says Consalvo. "The idea is that you have a kind of cultural capital." But to maintain this status, sometimes players might need to cheat. Curiously, it might be the case that better players feel...

Betty White, whose television career spanned more than 80 years, has died. She was 99 years old.Considered to be a trailblazer of the small screen, White’s career was longer than any other female entertainer, having worked in the industry since 1939.

For the past 18 months we've reported how a large percentage of those 'hospitalized with Covid' were actually admitted for other ailments, only to test positive after admission during routine screening - meaning 'Covid hospitalizations' for the purposes of policymaking (and fear mongering) were vastly overstated in many (if not most) cases.Public health officials have largely avoided this important distinction, while pushing the false narrative over hospitalizations - until now.In a Thursday appearance on MSNBC, America's top Covid official, Dr. Anthony Fauci, admitted to a distinction between the number of children hospitalized with Covid as opposed to "because of Covid.""And...

The CDC is moving goalposts again, changing the definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ to include a third shot.In its recently updated guidance on exposure to COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) treats double jabbed individuals that have not received a booster shot the same as unvaccinated ones.“For people who are unvaccinated or are more than six months out from their second mRNA dose (or more than 2 months after the J&J vaccine) and not yet boosted, CDC now recommends quarantine for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days,” the updated guidance reads. “Alternatively,...

U.S. Economy12/30/2021Frank ShostakBy popular thinking, the key driver of economic growth is increases in the total demand for goods and services. It is also held that the overall output increases by a multiple of the increase in expenditure by government, consumers and businesses.Following this way of thinking it is not surprising that most commentators are of the view that by means of fiscal and monetary stimulus it is possible to prevent the US economy falling into a recession. For instance, by increasing government spending and central bank monetary pumping it is held that this is going to strengthen the production...

Wow, the racial reckoning after George Floyd sure has gotten a lot of black people killed! According to the FBI, amid the extravaganza of violence following Floyd’s death in 2020, an additional 2,400 black males and 405 black females were killed, compared to 2019.

If you’re anything like every other sane person in America, you’re sick of COVID-19 dominating the headlines. You’ve also probably had your fill of government bureaucrats trying to tell you how to live your life. Take the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for instance.It’s hard to imagine how the CDC has any credibility whatsoever anymore as often as they’ve changed their recommendations. Remember when it was just the unvaccinated who needed to wear masks? Then the CDC changed their recommendations to mask the vaxxed too.Just this week, the CDC admitted that they overestimated how prevalent the omicron variant...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' office fired back after a Sunshine State mayor asked where DeSantis is amid the rising coronavirus case count nationwide. Democratic Mayor Jerry Demings of Orange County in Florida attacked DeSantis in a press conference Tuesday amid the rising COVID cases, saying residents in the state "should be outraged" with DeSantis not being in front of the media during the spike. "Our residents, all Florida residents should be outraged, and they should ask the question, Now, where's our state? Where's our governor?" Demings said. "Where is Ron DeSantis now? When was the last time you saw the...

On the year’s shortest day, hundreds of Israelis ventured deep into the desert to witness a strange natural phenomenon atop an ancient pilgrimage site that some argue is where God spoke to Moses. The mountain kept its secrets for centuries, its air of sacred mystery enhanced by a remote location in the Negev Desert in southern Israel. But one day last week, hundreds of Israeli adventurers headed deep into the wilderness to reach Mount Karkom, determined to get closer to answering a question as intriguing as it is controversial: Is this the Mount Sinai of the Bible, where God is...
