WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration, seeking to fill a frustrating gap in coverage for COVID-19 tests, Thursday announced that people with Medicare will be able to get free over-the-counter tests much more easily in the coming weeks. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said Medicare will cover up to eight free tests per month, starting in early spring.

One Anon Opines (1AO) – “The American citizen was in a coma. The point of Q was to wake the American citizen into paying attention to his government, world events, media manipulation, and the financial and familial connections of the powers that be before mass censorship, control, and communism could be fully implemented. You are in the midst of a Chinese takeover of the United States through fifth-generation psychological warfare. Unfortunately for the enemies of the United States, in this 5th generational battle sphere there is a giant resistance by the American populace. The false narratives provided by the communists...

Governor J.B. Pritzker enjoys a “comfortable lead” over a group of largely unknown Republican primary challengers who have yet to make much of a name for themselves, according to a pollster who touts his firm as the “most accurate polling company in Illinois.” “We released a poll before the 2020 election and before the 2018 election, and we got Pritzker’s election four years ago,” Victory Research pollster Rod McCulloch said. “I think we were 1.2% off.” “We were right on the money on the Fair Tax in 2020, and the Trump vs Biden race, just 1% off,” he said. The...

COVID-19 vaccines are saving an untold number of lives, but they can’t stop the chaos when a hugely contagious new mutant bursts on the scene, leading people to wonder: Will we need boosters every few months? A new vaccine recipe? A new type of shot altogether? That’s far from settled, but with the shots still doing their main job many experts are cautioning against setting too high a bar. “We need collectively to be rethinking what is the goal of vaccination,” said Dr. Daniel Kuritzkes, infectious disease chief at Brigham & Women’s Hospital. “It’s unrealistic ... to believe that any...

That dynamic and recent developments, plus the aforementioned polling, is fueling optimism inside Team Renacci that an upset in Ohio’s May 3 primary is afoot. Renacci, a former congressman who lost his bid for Senate in 2018, beat out DeWine for the endorsement of the Clermont County Republican Party. Renacci is expected to win the backing of additional county parties with a history of bucking incumbents. “This isn’t a Republican state or a [Democratic] state — it’s a Trump state,” said Renacci campaign spokesman Tom Weyand, highlighting yet another factor behind the challenger’s confidence that he will prevail. The DeWine...

On February 3, 1959, the music world was shocked when American rock and roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and JP 'The Big Bopper' Richardson were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, along with pilot Roger Peterson.

Here, we look back at who the tragic stars were and the legacy they left behind:

Female swimmers at the University of Pennsylvania published a statement this week about their teammate, William “Lia” Thomas, who is a biological male competing on the women’s swim team. In the statement, which was shared with ESPN, the swimmers voiced their support for Thomas’ transition and said they “value her as a person, teammate, and friend.”As I covered, Thomas made headlines in recent months for breaking two national women’s records at a competition in Ohio. In the 1,650-yard freestyle, the runner-up finished 38 seconds behind Thomas. At a competition last month, Thomas was “crushed” in two races by a biological...

The Reality Is…There are threats that face the Christian Church, and the cause of those threats is sin. Sin affects every member of the Christian faith, no matter the status. Sin causes us to stumble and sets us back in our cause for Christ. Ultimately, it should remind us how desperate we need the forgiveness and guidance of God.But which sin seems to set us back the most? What are we glossing over, pushing under the rug, and pretending isn’t there? That, my friends, is sexual sin. In 2016, Josh McDowell told CBN News, “pornography is probably the greatest threat...

Thursday, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) pushed back against criticism from the GOP over President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would nominate a black woman to replace outgoing-U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.

If you have the time listen to this interview. This is Brandon Straka, the founder of the "Walk away movement".

CharityWatch Executive Director Laurie Styron commented to New York magazine about Black Lives Matter’s $60 million in cash left over from fundraising in 2020, saying BLM was like a “giant ghost ship full of treasure drifting in the night with no captain, no discernible crew, and no clear direction.”Indeed, no one — including any of the so-called “leaders” at Black Lives Matter — knows who’s in charge of that money.Reason.com:That $90 million is an impressive total. But according to multiple media reports, two-thirds of it—$60 million—remain unspent. What was spent, and how it was spent, also raises serious questions. And...

Ned Kelly is an Australian folk hero. When his family was persecuted by cruel, corrupt police, he fought back and was executed. Then a royal commission was held and those police responsible were sacked. He was a cop killer. But he killed murderers of decency and 7freedom. The same police force still does horrible things to its political masters' enemies. And mothers can still love their sons and daughters with all their hearts.
