Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was recorded without a mask in a densely packed bar in Miami, according to footage that emerged Sunday. The large crowd at the drag bar, most of whom were also without a mask, applauded the congresswoman as she waved to them, as first reported by Florida's Conservative Voice.

With this week closing out the year, we are taking a break from the normal WW coverage and, in a salute to the sleepy final days of 2021, are looking briefly at hammocks in naval use. Apparently picked up by sailors after Columbus came to the New World and saw Awawak Indians lounging in the easy-going beds slung between trees, the Royal Navy began using hammocks as early as the 1590s, making them standard across the fleet by 1629, an upgrade from sleeping on a plank or sea chest. Sailors stowed their hammocks when not needed in a way that...

I have warned that Europe is the epic center for the decline and fall of Western Culture and economic strength. While the US has not yet joined Europe, the Democrats are licking their lips and trying desperately to figure out how to kill cash forcing everything to be digital in search of cash. In Europe, 18 EU countries are now restricting the use of cash and they are desperately trying to terminate cash all for control and taxes. Now it is just presumed that paying in cash means you are engaged in money laundering for that definition has been expanded...

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has tested positive for the coronavirus on Sunday after experiencing symptoms of the virus while at home on leave. In an emailed statement released Sunday night, Austin said that he is fully vaccinated and received his booster shot in October, which he says has made the infection "much more mild."

So what happened to the BLM protester and BLM protester that were photoed at the 1/6 rally. Where did the pictures go on the web. They where in the front of the supposed insurgence. One was directly linked to Antifa as a leader, the other I believe was linked to BLM. True republican defenders of faith… LOL. I believe one of them was the son of a New York Supreme Court Judge. Old news, but time to destroy the narrative. To many honest Godly people locked in a concentration camp with no fair trial. This article is bs, as are...

Dementia is thought to occur when proteins accumulate in the brain and form oligomers. Research previously shown that the antibiotic rifampicin removes oligomers from the brain and improves cognitive function. However, the drug has been associated with side effects such as liver damage. Resveratrol, an antioxidant in plants, is used as a supplement. "To combat the negative side effects of rifampicin, we thought of combining it with the hepatoprotective effects of resveratrol," says Professor Tomiyama. This time, the research group administered a fixed dose combination of rifampicin and resveratrol intranasally five days a week for a total of four weeks...

Today's Sermon explores the Magi and their desire to follow their science in paying homage to the 2 King of Kings - and how Faith has come to get a bad rap with the secularists. 14 min. YouTube VideoIs Science Opposed to Faith?

“Then Jesus arrived . . . coming to John, to be baptized by him” (Matthew 3:13). In the original text of this passage, the wording “to be baptized” emphasizes purpose in this momentous appearance by the Lord Jesus. But it was extremely difficult for John the Baptist to understand why the God-Man would need to be baptized. John’s baptism was for the confession of sin and repentance (3:2, 6, 11), but Jesus as the Lamb of God (John 1:29) had no need for such a baptism. It is hard to see why One who would take away sin would need...

[Catholic Caucus] Francis, Pope of Sad Destinies “Macbeth, thou shalt be king."The worst punishment that could have been thought of for a person like Bergoglio was the full attainment of his ambitions. Step by step, betrayal by betrayal, rung by rung, he climbed the ladder of ecclesiastical Power, investing in it all his faculties and personality. No sooner arrived at one rank, his unbridled ambition conceived the move to the next, crushing all under its enormous weight, wrecking justice and right and sacrificing all that Earth and Heaven offered to swell the soul and body with true happiness. His...

We are living in a time of the greatest gospel revelation in history. There are more preachers, books and gospel-media than ever. Yet there has also never been more distress, affliction and troubled minds among God’s people. Pastors today design their sermons just to pick people up and help them deal with despair. There is nothing wrong with this. I preach these truths myself, yet I believe there’s one simple reason why we see so little victory and deliverance: it is unbelief. The fact is that God has spoken with great clarity in these last days, and he has said,...

Illinois keeps losing people it can ill afford to lose. I recently checked in on a prospective donor who I met in Chicago three years ago. I didn’t know him at all back then, but it was easy to get a sense he cared deeply about Illinois. His passion for fixing Chicago’s problems was obvious from the moment I met him. He was everything Chicago should want from someone in the business community. An engaged and highly successful investor, tech entrepreneur and C-suite executive. Politically active yet still willing to get his hands dirty on real policy issues. Not scared...

So government is ignoring its own rules to push booster vaccines on kids for a disease is that is less deadly in children than the season flu. https://t.co/02SElwEnWR— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) January 2, 2022Recall also that the #1 and #2 FDA vaccine experts resigned this fall, further showing the unscientific, politicized nature of the administration’s booster propaganda.— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) January 2, 2022 -----------------------------Dear President Biden, FDA is bypassing it's scientific advisors to authorize boosters for all kids 12-15 next week. This is unconscionable--undermines the integrity of the FDA's standard process! Please require FDA to put this authoriz...

New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy tested positive for COVID-19 after the family's controversial trip to Costa Rica over the Christmas holiday. "The Governor and First Lady tested themselves due to a recent known non-family contact in their home. Required procedures for reporting, case investigation, and contact tracing have been followed," New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy's office said in a statement Sunday.

A married father who was kidnapped when he was just four years old by a child-trafficking gang was reunited with his family after 33 years when he drew a map of his original home from memory. Li Jingwei, 37, grew up in Henan, north-central China, after he was taken but said he had 'countless nights of yearning' and was 'homesick since I was little'. When he learnt about other abducted children that were reunited with relatives, such as Guo Xinzhen, Mr Jingwei shared a map he had drawn of his home village. The detail of his maps, which included what...

Do you use any of Google's apps? If so, you're probably being tracked. Even if you turned off location history on your Google account, you're not completely in the clear yet. While disabling that setting sounds like a one-and-done solution, some Google apps are still storing your location data. Just opening the Google Maps app or using Google search on any platform logs your approximate location with a time stamp. Following a 2018 investigation by the Associated Press, however, Google has made it easier to control what location and other data is saved, and what is deleted with features like...

People's opinions about Facebook are a mixed bag. For some, the social media site is an essential tool for keeping in touch with friends and family around the globe, interacting with common-interest groups and getting news. But others see Facebook in terms of privacy violations, political brawling, damaging misinformation and other content that could be harmful to teens. Now known as Meta, Facebook, as a company, has a new name but the same old problems. Whether you want to cancel your account for a clean slate in 2022 or any other reason, we'll tell you below what steps to follow....

Popular Dr. Joseph Mercola says we're in the middle of "an epidemic of madness" that occurs when a "large portion of society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions."... Dr. Mercola cites S.G. Cheah's report which said, "Even when the statistics point to the extremely low fatality rate among children and young adults (measuring 0.002% at age 10 and 0.01% at 25), the young and the healthy are still terrorized by the chokehold of irrational fear when faced with the coronavirus."... Children are bearing a particularly heavy burden as adults succumb to irrational fears, says Dr. Mercola. "One of...

White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci said Sunday that hospitalizations are a better guide to determining the severity of the highly infectious omicron variant of COVID-19 than case counts. When asked by host George Stephanopoulos during an appearance on ABC's "This Week" if there should be less of a focus on daily infection numbers, Fauci said, "The answer is, overall, yes." "This is particularly relevant if you’re having an infection that is much, much more asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic, particularly in people who are vaccinated and boosted," Fauci said. "The real bottom line that you want to be concerned...

WASHINGTON, Jan 2 (Reuters) - The chief executives of AT&T and Verizon Communications rejected a request to delay the planned Jan. 5 introduction of new 5G wireless service over aviation safety concerns but offered to temporarily adopt new safeguards. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Federal Aviation Administration chief Steve Dickson had asked AT&T CEO John Stankey and Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg late Friday for a commercial deployment delay of no more than two weeks. The wireless companies in a joint letter on Sunday said they would not deploy 5G around airports for six months but rejected any broader limitation...
