One year after announcing they would no longer sell MyPillow products, Bed Bath & Beyond announced more than $100 million in third quarter losses and the closure of 37 stores. Even a devout Southern Baptist can recognize that as karma. Bed Bath & Beyond said the closures were part of an overall strategy announced in 2020 to eventually close some 200 stores. The news came on the same day the company announced third quarter losses of $100 million. I’m sure the CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond is having trouble getting a good night’s rest. It’s just too bad he...

Cyber Ninjas, a firm hired by the Arizona state Senate to conduct a review of Maricopa County’s election results, on Thursday announced that it is shutting down after a county government report slammed the firm and a judge ordered it to pay $50,000 a day in fines. Same (sic) Levine, a reporter for The Guardian, first reported the news of Cyber Ninjas closing down on Thursday, tweeting that CEO “Doug Logan and the rest of the employees have been let go and Cyber Ninjas is being shut down.”

It’s a lie that Americans were told repeatedly in the all-out government and media effort to get every living being in the United States jabbed: “Vaccines stop the spread.” VIDEOS AT LINK............... President Biden himself told the known lie in October 2021, and even “fact checkers” wouldn’t back him up. “We’re making sure healthcare workers are vaccinated because if you seek care at a healthcare facility, you should have the certainty that the people providing that care are protected from COVID and cannot spread it to you,” Biden claimed. It is important to note that this was a deliberate lie...

PHOENIX — A judge says he will fine the contractor that led Arizona Republicans' 2020 election review $50,000 a day if the firm doesn’t immediately turn over public records related to the unprecedented inquiry. The judge on Thursday found Cyber Ninjas in contempt for its failure to turn over documents in response to a lawsuit filed by The Arizona Republic newspaper. It's one of two suits seeking Cyber Ninjas records under Arizona transparency laws. A lawyer for Cyber Ninjas says the company is insolvent and has laid off all employees including former CEO Doug Logan. The company maintains it is...

STORY AT-A-GLANCE: * According to Collette Martin, a practicing nurse who testified before a Louisiana Health and Welfare Committee hearing December 6, 2021, children are having “terrifying” reactions to the COVID shot, yet her concerns are simply dismissed * The average number of adverse event reports following vaccination for the past 10 years has been about 39,000 annually, with an average of 155 deaths. * That’s for all available vaccines combined. The COVID jabs alone now account for 983,756 adverse event reports as of December 17, 2021, including 20,622 deaths — and this doesn’t include the underreporting factor, which we...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemActs 6The Choosing of the Seven 6 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews[a] among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will...

Inflation continues to skyrocket nationwide, biting into the slight wage gains American workers have experienced so far this year. Prices for food, energy, and other essentials have all surged since the enactment of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus bill earlier this year. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like these price increases are on pace to subside anytime soon. It’s possible inflation could even get worse, particularly as it relates to energy prices, if congressional Democrats get their way and enact their multi-trillion dollar reconciliation bill. Although the details of their bill change on a near daily basis, one thing remains constant:...

A public database that collects reports of vaccine side effects and injuries isn’t considered a reliable source of information about risks associated with COVID-19 vaccines. Established in 1990, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) collects reports of potential side effects from licensed vaccines. Interest in the database, publicly available online, has grown since COVID-19 vaccines were approved, but the data can be misleading if used to make a direct connection to the reported deaths and injuries. Dr. . Russell Bush, director and chief medical examiner at the Michigan Institute of Forensic Science & Medicine, said conclusions shouldn’t be drawn...

This would probably be a good time to remind everyone that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) refused to endorse Donald Trump for president at the RNC nominating convention back in 2016. We could have ended up with “President Hillary Clinton” because of that petty stunt, but fortunately, support for Trump was way too massive. Cruz is easy to like for those of us on the right, so it’s always painful to watch when he has one of those “moments” where he figuratively pours gas on himself and lights a match. He had another one this week when delivering a speech in...

But it also may have further cost him politically with a group of GOP hardliners who are close to former President Donald Trump and who could ultimately help spoil McCarthy's bid to become the next House speaker should Republicans win back the majority in 2022. Trumpworld fixture Steve Bannon this week joined the chorus of GOP detractors who seem to have no use for McCarthy, telling his podcast listeners that the current crop of House GOP leaders are "just sitting there as controlled opposition." Though Bannon didn't specifically namecheck the eight-term California Republican, he did pine for "leadership that is...

The second major snowstorm in five days hit the East Coast on Thursday, and AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Joe Lundberg said it could develop into the first bomb cyclone of 2022. A bomb cyclone is said to occur when a storm's central pressure plummets 24 millibars within 24 hours. The mid-latitude cyclone rapidly intensifies, causing the atmospheric pressure to quickly drop and strengthening the storm. The lower the pressure, the more powerful the storm. Lake-effect snow has already hit Buffalo, NY, accumulating almost 10 inches as of 10 a.m., according to AccuWeather. "Heavy snow at the Buffalo airport this morning has...

The Texas Senator who has been morphing into a wolf like caricature, left himself naked to his enemies yesterday by his own choosing. After proclaiming the J6 protestors were “violent terrorists”, the articulating stutterer must have realized he stood on a political landmine. Ted Cruz quickly appeared on Fox News with Tucker Carlson in an attempt to regain credibility. It’s interesting that Cruz chose the Tucker Carlson show for the effort, and it’s interesting that Carlson gave him the opportunity. However, the result was predictable. You cannot create authenticity where only inauthenticity exists. If you try, what you end up...

Watching Joe Biden’s recent COVID speech (the one when he forgot what year it is), I was struck by the fact that in every speech he’s given on the subject he comes across as ‘a pleading and very weak individual’. He whispers, he begs, and he exudes absolutely no confidence in his strength or leadership. And on those other occasions when he gets angry and tries to talk like a tough guy, he just comes across as a pathetic and unpleasant old man. Joe Biden doesn’t instill any confidence in anyone, he only instills a sense of pity. It’s sad...

On Wednesday, an internal probe claimed that members of the Seattle Police Department (SPD) deliberately faked police radio transmissions that indicated a right-wing protest was about to occur in June of 2020. According to The Hill, the Office of Police Accountability (OPA) concluded after its review that a “misinformation effort” was “approved, ordered, and led” by a high-ranking officer in the SPD. The radio chatter in question appeared to describe a gathering of the Proud Boys, a patriotic and conservative organization, that was heading towards the Capitol Hill region of the city, where a riot was taking place on June...

Dulles, Virginia – A federal courthouse is not typically the terrain on which Navy SEALs fight on behalf of their fellow Americans, but this week it proved to be a decisive venue for them. On January 3, U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor issued an injunction against the Departments of Defense (DoD) and Navy, barring them from taking adverse action against 35 servicemembers who sought a religious exemption from DoD's vaccine mandate. The group includes Navy SEALs and other members of the Navy Special Warfare Command who hold strong religious convictions preventing them from taking the vaccine while remaining true to...

The cover-up of information, and the dissembling we’ve seen over the past year on vaccines and masks is serious, not only for health reasons but also for reasons of public trust in institutions. Trust in government and government-sponsored edicts is fast declining because of federal, state, and local pronouncements on the Chinese flu, vaccines, masks, and lockdowns. The federal government has been as stubborn as an ox against telling the truth—and 2021 was, perhaps appropriately, the year of the ox in China. We have a good idea by now that masks are essentially useless. But masks are nevertheless being recommended,...

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to produce, at a rate of 55,000 pages per month, the documents it relied on to license the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The rate of 55,000 pages a month would mean the FDA has just over eight months to fully produce all of Pfizer’s pre-licensure safety data. That is much faster than the 500 pages-per-month rate the FDA proposed in December 2021. That rate would have effectively given the agency roughly 75 years to fully produce the data, Aaron Siri, a lawyer working on the case, previously observed.

A female tennis player from the Czech Republic has had her Australian visa cancelled and is being detained in the same immigration hotel as Serbian star Novak Djokovic. The ABC can reveal Renata Voráčová, who has already played in a warm-up tournament in Melbourne, was detained by Australian Border Force officials yesterday and taken to the Park Hotel in Carlton. A government source familiar with the case has confirmed Voráčová was informed by ABF officials she must soon leave the country, but it is still unclear if she intends to challenge the decision. Voráčová is believed to have entered Australia...
