Controversial and heavily-censored virologist Dr. Robert Malone took massively popular podcaster Joe Rogan on a deep dive into the scientific and cultural factors behind the COVID-19 pandemic during an explosive interview which took the internet by storm over New Year’s weekend. ... “We’ve been divided in this way, and it’s all been politicized, and the data have been so thoroughly manipulated, that it’s been hard for any of us to make sense of it,” Malone said during the Friday interview, which went viral before it was squelched by Big Tech corporations for running afoul of the “community guidelines” regarding COVID-19-related...

Biden’s proposed executive order on law enforcement would order men identifying as women to be transferred to female prisons. President Joe Biden is preparing to give every rapist and molester in federal prison a get-out-of-jail-free card. Specifically, Biden is offering to transfer any and all male criminals to women’s prisons. All the men will have to do is say that they feel like a woman, and the Biden administration will take them at their word. This policy may be the worst part of a proposed executive order on law enforcement, a draft of which was obtained by The Federalist. Most...

Pronouncements on the impending death of the woke mania are premature. y friend Paul Gottfried has already ably and trenchantly critiqued the faulty assumptions about the meaning of recent elections offered by Scott McConnell in his recent American Conservative essay. In it, McConnell suggests we might be at the end of wokeist domination of political and cultural discourse in the country. He is, alas, wrong. Wokeist power cannot be so easily wished away. McConnell’s piece is long, so I’ll concentrate on just two of his more specific claims in order to illustrate his missteps. He claims, in the article’s penultimate...

A Chicago man who is awaiting trial for two armed robberies and a separate felony gun case left his home while on electronic monitoring to carjack a woman at gunpoint on Halloween, prosecutors said Tuesday. But, because the man was not away from his home for more than 48 hours, he cannot be charged with escaping electronic monitoring under Illinois’ new criminal justice reform law. Class X vehicular hijacking charges were filed against Peter Andrews just days before Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart will conduct a Zoom meeting, moderated by State Senator Sara Feigenholtz (6th), called “Straight Talk on Electronic...

>>Ghislaine legal team may file for mistrial if juror did not reveal own abuse when selectedJuror Scotty David admitted that he only opened up about his own abuse during deliberations when others questioned the credibility of two of the women.Ghislaine Maxwell could file for a mistrial after a juror revealed he used his own experience of childhood sexual abuse to sway deliberations — and cannot remember if he revealed his past during jury selection, according to reports. Juror Scotty David, using only his first and middle names, admitted to Reuters that he only opened up about his own abuse during...

Gospel of Matthew, Ch. 3 1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all...

The Biden administration has yet to release a report that details the number of illegal immigrants removed from the United States in 2021, keeping the public in the dark about its handling of the immigration crisis. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not release its annual report in 2021, a departure from standard agency practice since at least 2011. In each of the last nine years, ICE released the report in the final weeks of the calendar year, most recently on Dec. 23, 2020 during the Trump administration. It is unclear whether ICE has completed the report, which provides a lengthy...

As happened to many other Americans during the Christmas break, both my wife and I came down with COVID, marking the first time either of us contracted it. (I write this article on day 9, and we are on the mend, albeit slowly.) Both of us have been far sicker at other times in our lives, and compared to how others have suffered over these last two years, our cases appear to be fairly mild. At the same time, this is the longest I have been sick since 2014 (when I made a radical lifestyle change), and there’s something about...

The group of Benedictine monks that govern Lisle’s Benet Academy has announced it will cut ties with the school after the hiring of a lacrosse coach who is in a same-sex marriage. Murphy and Flynn explained that the monk community, St. Procopius Abbey, had spent the months since the September hiring examining their relationship with the school. “After much deliberation, the monks as a community have discerned that they no longer have the resources needed for the governance and oversight of the Academy,” they said. Benet Academy had faced community backlash for rescinding a lacrosse head coach position offer to...

In the final days of 2021, the New York Department of Health and New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene announced they are using a race-based approach in deciding who is eligible to receive potentially life-saving health care treatments. According to Gov. Kathy Hochul, “In times of limited supplies of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and oral antivirals (OAVs), providers should prioritize patients eligible for treatment based on their level of risk for progressing to severe COVID-19.” Most Americans would agree that prioritizing high-risk patients, namely the elderly and those with co-morbidities and/or underlying conditions, during a time when COVID-19...

The founder and chairman of a major property management software firm told a coterie of associates, including the governor of Utah, that COVID was a deadly Jewish plot. “I believe there is a sadistic effort underway to euthanize the American people,” David Bateman, the founder of Entrata, said in the email, first reported Tuesday by Fox 13, a Salt Lake City TV station. The email, subject-lined “Genocide,” suggested that COVID-19 and its vaccines are the work of Jews, and that both are “attacking the reproductive systems of women” and eroding natural immunity. “I believe the Jews are behind this,” Bateman...

The Supreme Court takes up the issue of vaccine mandates on Friday, holding a special hearing that is nearly unprecedented in its rushed timing. At issue are two of Biden’s mandates. One compels the vaccination or testing of everyone who works at a 100+ employee company; the other requires vaccination of every staffer at every hospital, nursing home, or health care facility that receives funding from Medicare or Medicaid. Will we become a country of haves and have nots concerning the Covid vaccine, whereby those who sensibly decline the vaccine are segregated in cities, schools, hospitals, and concerts? The new...

Newly released body-camera footage shows the moments Houston police officer Orlando Hernandez, 25, was speeding, driving with one hand before hitting and killing 62-year-old Michael Wayne Jackson. On Dec. 4, Jackson was walking to his barber when the officer hit and killed him with his police cruiser. The case is yet to be presented to a grand jury by prosecutors, said Dane Schiller, a spokesperson for Harris County district attorney’s office.

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemActs 2The Fellowship of the Believers 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and...

Last week, Anthony Fauci, resident Joe Biden's top infectious disease adviser, said the federal government should consider requiring that domestic air travelers be vaccinated against COVID-19. "When you make vaccinations a requirement," he explained, "that's another incentive to get more people vaccinated." Although requiring vaccination of airline passengers ostensibly would be aimed at making air travel safer, Fauci sees it as a way to boost the U.S. vaccination rate. The Biden administration sees its vaccination rule for private employers, which ostensibly is aimed at addressing a workplace hazard, the same way. The contrast between that broader goal and the legal...

The Proper Approach to Online Trolls Interesting times we are living in, where we are in daily conflict with a progressive narrative that seeks our own destruction. This is a message to those as a caution to make sure we do not become our own worst enemy. While we seek to defeat said enemies, both foreign and domestic, we sometimes overlook the adversary within. In many cases, such an adversary may merely be a troubled soul; but just the same – a distraction. I am referring to what is commonly known on social media as ‘a troll’: a person who...
