“When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health, that of the family, but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community. And in other words, you become a dead end to the virus.” ~Dr. Fauci, Face the Nation, May 16, 2021 “Negative efficacy.” Get used to that term, because every day more data suggests we are already in the vaccination twilight zone of all pain and no gain – just as with the lockdowns. It is tearing humanity apart. COVID fascism is the most serious human rights threat...

It can be the final straw to come home after a hard day, curl up ready for your favorite streaming show only to find that the Wi-Fi is crawling and nothing will load. While the human urge to firmly hoist your router out the window is tempting, there are some tried and tested ways to boost Wi-Fi signal. In defense of waning Wi-Fi signal, the past few years have been particularly straining for The Internet.

Retired Gen. Steven M. Anderson spoke to CNN’s Pamela Brown about 2024 and blasted Donald Trump supporters in the military as a threat from within, and advised they stop listening to “the pillow guy” and get educated on civics. Anderson, along with fellow retired Gens. Paul Eaton and Antonio Taguba, authored an oped earlier this month warning of the potential for a “Trumpian” coup attempt in 2024. On CNN, he talked about the subject, saying the big problem is where allegiances lie, and the potential for a “cult-like” figure to sway even military members into insurrection. And he mentioned MyPillow...

CNN just can’t seem to get its story straight. The network has toggled between defending President Joe Biden from criticism over rising gas prices to praising him for small price drops. Now, the network is warning about rising prices again and protecting Biden. CNN Reporter Matt Egan released a story Dec. 28 headlined: “$4 gas could be here by Memorial Day, GasBuddy predicts.” In essence, “Pain at the pump will get worse before it gets better,” Egan wrote in his lead paragraph. This follows Egan’s ridiculous attempt on Dec. 7 to put lipstick on the pig of elevated gas prices...

CHRISTMAS WEEKDAY MATTHEW 4:12-17, 23-25 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus says as he preaches, “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” We mustn’t flatten this out or render it too spiritually abstract, as though he were talking only about becoming nicer people, more generous and more kind. His preaching was about more than that. It was part and parcel of his messianic vocation. What he was saying was something like this: a new order is breaking out in Israel, the tribes are coming back together, and Yahweh is going to reign. Therefore, adjust your lives, your vision, your...

Some people love to be scared. Mary Shelley knew that when she wrote Frankenstein, and genres of fiction and film exist mining that desire for innocent fun and profit. But when politics enters the fray and fears are stoked to scare people into accepting costly and harmful policies, it is important to push back. Two articles from last week illustrate the panic-mongering and the responsible citation of fact. Breitbart highlights a prophet of doom from Rolling Stone magazine, home of the University of Virginia rape hoax story: The massive Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica could "fall apart overnight" and raise sea...

PARIS, Jan 3 (Reuters) - French lawmakers said on Monday they would not be cowed by death threats that dozens of them received over a bill that will require people to show proof of vaccination to go to a restaurant or cinema or take the train. The new law, which would remove the option of showing a negative test result instead of having the jabs, has the backing of most parties and is almost certain to be passed by the lower house in a vote late on Monday or early Tuesday. But the proposed tightening of the rules has caused...

As the anniversary of the Capitol Hill riot from January 6 approaches, the media have ramped up their efforts to remind us about that day. Every Sunday show featured someone involved with the U.S. Capitol. While "Fox News Sunday" spoke with chief of U.S. Capitol Police, Thomas Manger, who took on such a role in July. The other shows featured members from the select committee on January 6, including Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Liz Cheney (R-WY), and Bennie Thompson (D-MS). NBC's "Meet the Press" had a "special edition" episode on "January 6: One Year Later." During that "special edition" episode,...

It's been a week since an antisemitic attack was reported in broad daylight on the streets of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Linda Sarsour has lived in Bay Ridge for years and headed the Arab American Association of New York until 2017.

The new year is often seen as a time for turning over new leaves. Maybe you’re planning on finally giving up smoking, or perhaps you want to reduce the amount of red meat in your diet – basically, whatever your new year’s resolution is, there’s a good chance it will involve doing something new, getting healthy, and enjoying life more. Well apparently, that applies to the government as well. As of tomorrow, January 1, 2022, there will be a new law on the books in the USA: the No Surprises Act. Passed with bipartisan support towards the end of last...

Police arrested Burnett on New Year’s Day at Saks Fifth Avenue, 700 North Michigan. Prosecutors said he took a $1,250 jacket from a display, put it on, and walked out the door. He was also carrying a so-called “booster bag,” which is a bag wrapped in aluminum foil that’s designed to defeat the store’s security measures, according to prosecutors. He’s charged with felony retail theft. Prosecutors said most of his 12 felony convictions are also for theft and retail theft. “There’s not going to be an I-Bond here,” Marubio replied. Instead, using the value of the allegedly stolen jacket as...

Senate Democrats will use Thursday's anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to propel their efforts to pass sweeping voting rights legislation. Driving the news: In a letter to colleagues Monday morning, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the Senate will debate and vote on changing Senate rules if Republicans block a vote on the Freedom to Vote Act backed by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). Schumer promised a vote on Senate reforms by Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 17.

In this episode, Ann and Nurse Claire are joined by Mrs. Julie Collorafi, a homeschooling Mom who plays the organ at her parish, who in her spare time also just happened to single-handedly blow the lid off of the molochian industry of making drugs out of murdered infants grafted onto mice.

We are on the cusp of a retirement crisis that will affect everyone. Far too many promises have been made and the demographics we face do not bode well for a bright future. The answer that some people tout is we should have more children or open the borders. This is based on the idea we need more workers and ignores many other factors feeding into this issue. There is simply no way “more children” or workers can ever pay enough into the system to fulfill the promises that have been made. The competition for programs from the government to...

Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA) said on Sunday that Twitter’s permanent ban on Republican Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (GA) is “a little too late” and that it’s a good thing her voice was taken “out of the mix.” As Landon covered, Greene’s personal Twitter account was permanently suspended from Twitter on Sunday over her “repeated violations” of the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy. "We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy.

The Department of State was viciously mocked by critics over the weekend after it repeatedly promoted Secretary of State Antony Blinken's Spotify playlist in an odd series of tweets. From Dec. 10 through Jan. 2, the State Department's Twitter account tweeted about Blinken's Spotify playlist a total of (8) eight times while also retweeting its own tweets about the playlist, as well as tweets from other accounts mentioning the playlist, on multiple occasions.
