This past year saw an historic record high number of illegal border crossers in all of American history-- and that's not counting the many who go officially undetected. The Biden Administration has not taken public steps in the past year to stem the illegal border traffic, which is also resulting in huge amounts of dangerous drugs being trafficked into the U.S., and people-- including children-- being smuggled and exploited. That's according to multiple border experts. For every illegal border crosser, Mexico's cartels get thousands of dollars in payments and are earning record income from the broken border as a result,...

It is a “waste of time” to keep vaccinating people against the (CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the former chairman of Britain’s Vaccines Taskforce has said.Dr. Clive Dix, who played a key role in helping pharmaceutical firms create the COVID-19 vaccines, told LBC radio on Jan. 16: “The Omicron variant is a relatively mild virus. And to just keep vaccinating people and thinking of doing it again to protect the population is, in my view, now a waste of time.”Dix said the focus now should be on protecting vulnerable people, such as those over 60, 2 percent of whom remain...

Based on CDC statistics from between the beginning of January 2020 until Jan. 14, 2021,the CFR for those aged 0-17 calculates (Y is what % of X) to 0.01%; and for those aged 18-29 the CFR is 0.05%; for ages 30-39 it is 0.15%; for ages 40-49 it is 0.4%; for ages 50-64 it is 1.37%; but for the...

The quest for truth-in-COVID did pick up some steam in late spring 2021. Not about the vaccine, though. About the origins of the virus. From the first days of the epidemic, strong circumstantial evidence suggested Sars-CoV-2 had leaked from a Chinese lab. Both the virus itself and the facts around its emergence pointed to human intervention. Wuhan, the city of 10 million people where the first cases were found, is home to China’s most important viral research laboratory, the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The institute aggressively researched bat coronaviruses, which China had viewed as a serious risk since the original...

The largest satellite provider in the United States said late Friday it will drop One America News, a move that could financially cripple the rightwing TV network known for fueling conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. The announcement by DirecTV, which is 70% owned by AT&T, comes three months after a Reuters investigation revealed that OAN's founder testified that AT&T inspired him to create the network. Court testimony also showed that OAN receives nearly all of its revenue from DirecTV. To read the Reuters report, click here: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-oneamerica-att/ The Reuters report drew calls from some liberal groups for AT&T and...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have demonstrated in the lab how well a mineral common at the boundary between the Earth’s core and mantle conducts heat. This leads them to suspect that the Earth’s heat may dissipate sooner than previously thought. The evolution of our Earth is the story of its cooling: 4.5 billion years ago, extreme temperatures prevailed on the surface of the young Earth, and it was covered by a deep ocean of magma. Over millions of years, the planet’s surface cooled to form a brittle crust. However, the enormous thermal energy emanating from the Earth’s interior set dynamic...

​Dick Morris, a onetime top adviser to former President Bill Clinton, says there’s a “good chance” of a 2024 rematch between Hillary Clinton and ex-President Donald Trump. Morris said Sunday that if Democrats lose control of Congress in the 2022 midterm elections, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will be toast — paving the way for a second Hillary bid, with husband Bill playing an architect to her strategy.

An investigation of Office for National Statistics data has revealed that since the Covid-19 vaccine began to be rolled-out to teenagers there has been a 53% rise in the number of deaths due to all-causes among males aged 15-19, and each spike in deaths correlates perfectly with a spike in administration of the first, second, and third doses of the Covid-19 injection to this age group.Further investigation has also found that whilst Covid-19 deaths remained low among this age group following Covid-19 vaccination, they were still considerably higher than the negligible amount of deaths that had occurred before the Covid-19...

Explanation: What type of cloud is that? This retreating cumulonimbus cloud, more commonly called a thundercloud, is somewhat unusual as it contains the unusual bumpiness of a mammatus cloud on the near end, while simultaneously producing falling rain on the far end. Taken in mid-2013 in southern Alberta, Canada, the cloud is moving to the east, into the distance, as the sun sets in the west, behind the camera. In the featured image, graphic sunset colors cross the sky to give the already photogenic cloud striking orange and pink hues. A darkening blue sky covers the background. Further in the...

PARIS, Jan 16 (Reuters) - France's parliament gave final approval on Sunday to the government's latest measures to tackle the COVID-19 virus, including a vaccine pass contested by anti-vaccine protestors. Lawmakers in the lower house of parliament voted 215 in favour to 58 against, paving the way for the law to enter force in the coming days. The new law, which had a rough ride through parliament with opposition parties finding some of its provisions too tough, will require people to have a certificate of vaccination to enter public places like restaurants, cafes, cinemas and long-distance trains.

Courageous Chicago Priest Challenges Cardinal Cupich’s Cancellation of Ad Orientem WorshipFr. Anthony Bus C.R., pastor of St. Stanislaus KostkaLetter to Bishop Robert Lombardo on “Ad Orientem” MassJanuary 13, 2022Dear Bishop Lombardo,Thank you for consulting the Archbishop regarding my request for permission to offer the Holy Sacrifice, “Ad Orientem.” I will comply with his directive that this is forbidden in his Archdiocese.Even so, the Archbishop does not provide evidence that “Ad Orientem” was abrogated at the Second Vatican Council. As I read Sacrosanctum Concilium and the Roman Missal the implication is “Ad Orientem” was not abolished or prohibited – on the...
