While many on the right are calling the Supreme Court's ruling that President Biden's attempt to compel businesses to force employees to get vaccinated is unconstitutional a victory for personal freedom, the White House doesn't agree. Presidential Press Secretary Jen Psaki explained that "the President is going to channel his inner Andrew Jackson and ignore the Supreme Court's ruling. As he sees it, the Supreme Court has its opinion and he has his own. He has no obligation to support its ruling, especially where the nation's health is at stake. He has ordered businesses to proceed with the implementation of...

What would Macron’s second term look like?Emmanuel Macron, with eagle eyes, is staring at Europe like stout Cortez.

Interesting gossip out of the classic rock world today: apparently Steely Dan producer Greg Katz once had to fire the Eagles’ Don Henley from tracking vocals on Steely Dan’s 1977 hit “Peg.” And it’s still awkward. Musicians Review 2021: Billionaires' Race To Space Speaking to Ultimate Classic Rock, Katz talked about how both Steely Dan and the Eagles were tight, as they were both managed by Irving Azoff. “In the chorus, the backgrounds are sort of the lead,” Katz said. “It wasn’t like a [usual] background part.” And while the song was originally coming together, Katz and Donald Fagen talked...

The conservative majority of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked President Biden's COVID vaccination policy, stating that the administration had overstepped its authority with the rule, which would’ve applied to more than 80 million workers. Marcia Coyle, of The National Law Journal, and Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, join John Yang to discuss....John Yang:And do you think you can (get to the rest of the people that either aren't vaccinated or don't want to be vaccinated)? Do you think you can add on to these numbers? The people who have already been vaccinated, do you think is it...

Prayer breakfasts, marches, parades, and an uptick in volunteer efforts to support the annual Day of Service have remained staples of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But the late civil rights icon family has asked that observers strike a different tune in 2022. King’s family has requested no celebration unless federal lawmakers pass voting rights legislation, a task that appears out of reach as President Joe Biden and several Democrats have faced stiff Republican opposition.

"Late on Thursday, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to block vaccine mandates for private companies with 100 or more employees. However – the mandate for healthcare workers in Medicare and Medicaid funded facilities was upheld 5-4. Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh sided with more liberal Justices Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor. The mandate for federal employees hasn’t gotten the warm welcome Biden had hoped for. Some federal employees have decided to fight back. On Thursday, a group called “Feds For Medical Freedom” announced they will be marching in protest of the Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates for federal employees. ..."

It might seem axiomatic that we can’t draw conclusions from one case. Single cases are nothing more than anecdotes, right? Anecdotes are selected from the wild, and they make it through the overwhelming din of informational noise because they:a) are sensationalb) flatter our prejudicesc) conveniently support a preferred narratived) confirm pre-existing beliefs (e.g., confirmation bias).Just look at the countless media stories of COVID vaccine skeptics dying of COVID. How convenient to choose these stories and not others (e.g., the vaccine injured).So we cannot extrapolate from anecdotes. We cannot generalize from them. Nor can we conclude much from them at all....

Dr. Peter McCullough – a renowned cardiologist and highly published medical scientist whose confrontation of the government's COVID-19 policies has drawn more than 40 million views on Joe Rogan's podcast – told WND in a video interview Thursday night the official pandemic narrative that has been fiercely guarded by establishment media and social-media censors is "completely crumbling."

"And now here we are, almost in complete free fall,"...

(italics mine.)”In fact,...
