The Biden administration has affirmed a Trump administration interpretation of high-level radioactive waste that is based on the waste’s radioactivity rather than how it was produced. The U.S. Department of Energy announcement last week means some radioactive waste from nuclear weapons production stored in Idaho, Washington and South Carolina could be reclassified and moved for permanent storage elsewhere.... ...The Biden administration's affirmation of the new interpretation came after various groups offered letters of support and opposition to the agency after Biden became president, leading to the notice in the Federal Register making clear where the administration stood....

On New Year's Eve millions of people around the world link hands when they sing Auld Lang Syne. Now research from the University of Edinburgh has revealed the origins of the Hogmanay tradition are connected to freemasonry. Singing with arms crossed and hands joined was a parting ritual at many Masonic lodges. Musicologist Dr Morag Grant discovered the connection in the archives at Glasgow's Mitchell Library.... ..."Auld Lang Syne's sentiments didn't just resonate with Freemasons," she said. "Some of the earliest reports of the song's use at parting come from American college graduations in the 1850s."... ...The song had already...

"Two things are undoubtedly true in Washington, D.C.: 1. Many people are scared of the omicron wave, and 2. There are not nearly enough COVID tests to meet the demand. This combination has created a problem that may end up having deadly consequences: Emergency Rooms packed with patients who are there solely to get a COVID test. According to the Washington Post, D.C. area hospitals are begging the public to stop. "Do not come to the hospital looking to get tested," a spokesman for the University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center told the Post. The spokesperson said that the...

"Once the factory is running in 2024 or 2025, another 85 million more tests can be produced each month The Biden administration has signed a $137 million contract with a pharmaceutical company for the purpose of building a factory for COVID-19 test strip materials, a White House official confirmed to FOX Business on Wednesday.

Just when you thought you’d heard all of the damning facts about Covid-19, vaccines, The Great Reset, and the Plandemic in general, Dr. Robert Malone goes on Joe Rogan’s show and drops an absolute bombshell of a statement. While discussing the tremendous turnaround seen in India’s huge Uttar Pradesh province, Dr. Malone revealed some of what we already knew and something that we hadn’t heard before. The latter was an absolute bombshell. “Uttar Pradesh, as you know, has crushed Covid,” Dr. Malone said. “Ya, can you explain what they did to do that because it’s quite fascinating,” Rogan urged. Dr....

"The Small Business Administration’s watchdog has been asked to investigate after a Virginia radio company that was paid millions of dollars to broadcast Chinese Communist Party propaganda received more than $100,000 through the Paycheck Protection Program. Potomac Radio Group, which registered this month under the Foreign Agents Registration Act for its work for Chinese state-run China Global Television Network, received a loan for $106,228 through the SBA in April 2020, with the loan forgiven by the U.S. government eight months later.

Public-health messaging from the beginning of this pandemic has had very little to say about immunity acquired following infection. But for most people, it is a real and pressing concern, and not only because of the vaccine mandates that have little or no regard for it. People want to know whether once recovered they can be confident of not getting it again.Must everyone live in fear forever or is there a basis for the recovered to live with confidence?We have looked at the published evidence and can conclude based on the existing body of evidence, that reinfections are very rare,...

Like you, I was relentlessly dogged with messaging that getting the vaccine was the path to stopping the pandemic. While it was easy to see from the beginning that the vaccine wasn’t stopping the virus, leftist politicians and the media seemed to be in complete and total denial of it.President Joe Biden himself guaranteed that getting the jab would end the pandemic. People were promised by experts and medical professionals that getting the vaccine was going to return us to normal. Stephen Colbert was out there dancing with people in needle costumes singing about how the vaccine would end the...

Best wishes! Thank you all. Great site. Great people. Keep the conversation going.

In my last article in this series, I argued for why I think that, for many, the current COVID-19 vaccines could easily be equated to an idolatrous modern-day Golden Calf upon whom the power to free, deliver, and save has allegedly been bestowed. Whilst idols, new and old, are countless, there are not too many of them that have managed to gather around themselves a whole, well-organized, global religious system in such a short period of time. Although the sentence before can sound a bit funny in some ways, try asking yourself this question: what are some common components you...
