“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged” (Proverbs 28:1-2).

Think back, you may remember Joe Biden's infrastructure bill this fall. That bill emerged from Congress in November with a price tag of $1.2 trillion dollars. That so many zeros it's hard to imagine. How much is it? It's more than the entire GDP of the Nation of Mexico, one of the world's biggest oil producers, by the way. So that's a ton of money. So for a bill that size, you would expect, well, big results. You'd certainly want better roads than they've got in Mexico. So we're getting those what are we getting exactly from that bill? Well,...

On Monday, the British government moved to make hymenoplasty, or "virginity repair" surgery -- with or without consent -- illegal. The move, a further amendment to the Health and Care Bill, comes hot on the heels of another change to the bill introduced in November 2021 and intended to make "virginity testing" in England and Wales a criminal offense. Both virginity testing and virginity surgery are prevalent in conservative cultures, and were described by Dr. Edward Morris, president of the UK Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, as being "inextricably linked forms of violence against women and girls." Given the...

The US State Department has added the “threat of missile or drone attacks” to a travel advisory for the United Arab Emirates, which was already on a United States list of “do not travel” destinations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The department added the new potential threat to its travel warning for the UAE – already at the highest, “do not travel” level – on Thursday. “Rebel groups operating in Yemen have stated an intent to attack neighboring countries, including the UAE, using missiles and drones. Recent missile and drone attacks targeted populated areas and civilian infrastructure.”

Democrat President Joe Biden allegedly had a conversation with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky where CNN reported that Biden told Zelensky Russian invasion was imminent, and to 'prepare for impact'. CNN later deleted the story, as the White House stated anonymous sources are leaking falsehoods. Now social media users are demanding release the transcripts as Biden once did to then POTUS Donald Trump.

Chaos erupted online after CNN ran with a leaked report about alleged statements President Joe Biden made to the president of Ukraine in a phone call amidst rising tension from the possibility of a Russian invasion. Biden spoke with President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday about the threat from Russia but a leaked report claimed that he told Zelensky an invasion was virtually certain and that the country should "prepare for impact." Biden also told them that the capital of Kyiv could be "sacked" by the Russians, according to the disputed report. That report was regurgitated by numerous CNN reporters, and...

Monday's strike, aimed at a base in Abu Dhabi hosting US forces, was thwarted by American-built Patriot interceptors, following an earlier deadly strike on a fuel depot. Unverified footage that circulated on social media appeared to show moving lights from anti-projectile defenses being fired into the pre-dawn sky over the UAE capital that day. The Public Prosecution said "deterrent legal measures" would be taken against those publishing such material in the UAE, which prides itself as a safe business haven and global tourist destination.

Researchers at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have found a mysterious object in space that has been sending out radio waves approximately three times an hour, according to an institutional press release. The object was first spotted in March 2018 and has been observed ever since to understand its origins. Celestial objects that send out pulsing waves are quite a regular observation for an astronomer. Called transients, these objects either take months to disappear or can quickly flash off in a matter of seconds or even milliseconds, Dr. Gemma Anderson, an astrophysicist at ICRAR said in the...

It has finally been revealed that the unjust covid rules imposed on the unvaccinated were the result of a software error. The colossal error has resulted in the unvaccinated shouldering the blame for anything and everything.A software glitch created the “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Following months of demonizing the unvaccinated in Germany’s second biggest city, Hamburg, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach reached this conclusion.ransomnote: video below available on GreatGameIndia.com website, or onYOUTUBE.

Parents of schoolchildren in New York state have filed a challenge with the Supreme Court contesting the state’s 2019 repeal of a law that exempted those with sincere religious objections from having to accept the vaccinations that children are normally required to receive in order to attend school.The petition comes as courts across the country, including the Supreme Court, are considering the separate, more specific issue of mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations and becoming increasingly receptive to arguments that governments are overstepping their lawful, constitutional authority in combating the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.The case is F.F. v. State of New York, Supreme Court...

On Tuesday, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy offered insight into the purpose of Big Tech.Apparently, it’s censorship.Vivek’s comments concerned — in part — America’s most popular podcaster, Joe Rogan.If you’ve never given Joe’s show a listen, I highly recommend it. He truly has an open mind, and he hosts interesting people whose opinions run the gamut.That’s something Vivek doesn’t appear to appreciate, if a guest’s assertions run afoul of approved COVIDology.As reported by The Post Millennial, the government official was asked by MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski about coronavirus claims on Joe’s show.“[Joe]…has frequently promoted unproven methods for treating COVID-19 and downplayed...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not really known for many things.In the past couple of years, his greatest notoriety came from having dressed up in black face when he was a much younger waif who probably never thought anything like that would come back and bite him in his political arse. He survived that debacle during his last reelection in 2021, although a bit more embarrassed than damaged politically.That was then and this is now, and he might have just stepped in a big pile of poo of his own making.I have been covering the MASSIVE Canadian truckers convoy...

STOCKHOLM, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Sweden has decided against recommending COVID vaccines for kids aged 5-11, the Health Agency said on Thursday, arguing that the benefits did not outweigh the risks. "With the knowledge we have today, with a low risk for serious disease for kids, we don't see any clear benefit with vaccinating them," Health Agency official Britta Bjorkholm told a news conference. She added that the decision could be revisited if the research changed or if a new variant changed the pandemic. Kids in high-risk groups can already get the vaccine. Sweden registered more than 40,000 new cases...

Evangeline Lilly, best known for playing Kate Austen in ABC’s drama series “Lost” and for her role as Hope van Dyne/Wasp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, took to social media to confirm her attendance at a Washington D.C. protest over the weekend in support of “bodily sovereignty.” The actress went on to explain that she stands in opposition to government-mandated vaccine policies. “I believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will, under threat of violent attack, arrest or detention without trial, loss of employment, homelessness, starvation, loss of education, alienation from loved ones,...

Abstract Some theorists argue that moral bioenhancement ought to be compulsory. I take this argument one step further, arguing that if moral bioenhancement ought to be compulsory, then its administration ought to be covert rather than overt. This is to say that it is morally preferable for compulsory moral bioenhancement to be administered without the recipients knowing that they are receiving the enhancement. My argument for this is that if moral bioenhancement ought to be compulsory, then its administration is a matter of public health, and for this reason should be governed by public health ethics. I argue that the...

"For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and...

John Leguizamo admitted that he tries to stay out of the sun in order to stay “light-skinned” for film roles. The 57-year-old Latino actor was recently interviewed for the Academy Awards’ “Seen series,” during which he opened up about his experiences in Hollywood. “I definitely would not go in the sun for years. It was a conscious thing because I could work,” the “Romeo + Juliet” star said. “And all the Latinos that made it so far, a lot of them were all light-skinned,” he added. “What happened to all the Afro-Latinos and the majority of indigenous Latinos? They don’t...
