Don't get me wrong. I love the Super Bowl. I don't love the politics of the "social justice" kneelers who play the game. But I've loved NFL football for 50 years now, since I was a little boy and my hero Roger Staubach was winning Super Bowls. I can't wait to bet on the big game; that's the real reason most of us love the NFL. We love betting on the games. But I can wait a week longer, or two, or three. We can play the Super Bowl in March. Because there's something much more important at stake here......

[Catholic Caucus] Tonight: Francis Will Play the Dancing Bear for the OligarchsSunday night, Francis will perform at Fabio Fazio’s talk show “Che tempo che fa” which is part of the State TV Rai3 which hates the Church while loving Francis.Fazio is a stooge of those left-wing millionaires who promote “the poor and the immigrants” while living in villas and having caviar for breakfast. Over the years his show hosted creatures like Al Gore, Gates, Thunberg, Fauci, Pelosi, and Obama.Father Ariel Levi di Gualdo sees Francis’ performance as a sign that “a tragic pontificate is ending in satire” (IsolaDiPatmos.com, February 5),...

“The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them” (Matthew 4:24). Jesus’ miraculous healing ministry powerfully augmented the divine veracity of His teaching and preaching ministry. But any completely honest observer will concede that our Lord’s words alone provide sufficient evidence that He was the Messiah. The apostles left everything to follow Him before He did any healing or performed any other miracle. Many who heard and believed when Jesus taught in their villages had no need for...

Announcing that “enforcement is underway,” Ottawa police tweeted just before 2 p.m. Sunday that anyone who attempts to bring “material” supports, including gas, to demonstrators could be subject to arrest. When asked earlier about the possibility of cutting off the supply of gas, diesel and propane to protestors, Ottawa Police Service said that they do not speak about operations, “for officer safety reasons.”

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines science as “knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation.” So science is human knowledge of facts, which has nothing to do with human intention or politics.Yet Mao Zedong said in 1940 that “Natural science is one of man’s weapons in his fight for freedom.” In Mao’s China, science became a tool for the communist leader and his comrades to conquer the world and achieve their “freedom.”For my purposes here, I will call fact-based science Objective Science and Mao’s totalitarian science Subjective Science.My Sister Didn’t Have to DieI...

Left-wing Hollywood star Ron Perlman has given up on the United States, calling for secession in the form of a national divorce between red and blue states. Perlman laid out his proposal in a typically gruff tweet on Thursday. “It’s time that every state they would elect republicans to represent them, and all of the rest of us separate,” he tweeted. “You don’t wanna live in my world and I certainly don’t want to live in yours.” If Ron Perlman is uncomfortable with the growing partisan rancor, he can partly blame himself. The Hellboy star is one of Hollywood’s most...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin on Sunday endorsed Republican colleague Lisa Murkowski for reelection, crossing party lines to back the incumbent from Alaska who faces a primary challenger supported by former President Donald Trump. The conservative West Virginia lawmaker said he has teamed well with Murkowski in the 50-50 Senate to build bipartisan support for legislation such as President Joe Biden’s infrastructure law. He said Alaska and the Senate are well-served with her in office. “It’s hypocritical to basically work with a person day in and day out and then, when they’re in cycle, you’re supposed to be...

For four years, Mike Pence served as the loyal vice president to then-President Donald Trump. Everything changed on Jan. 6, 2021, as right-wing extremists – including some chanting "hang Mike Pence" - stormed the U.S. Capitol aiming to upend congressional certification of President Biden’s Electoral College victory that was overseen by Pence. In the year since the end of the Trump administration, the former president and vice president have further drifted apart, with Pence acknowledging recently in a Fox News interview that he had not spoken with Trump since last summer.

There's always the first half of next year.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel issued an apology after claiming that unvaxxed children are at risk of contracting a "serious condition" from the omicron variant of the coronavirus during an MSNBC interview Wednesday. "With the omicron variant, kids are either going to get the vaccine or they’re likely to get a serious condition of omicron," Emanuel said on "Andrea Mitchell Reports." "Having omicron with the vaccine is almost invariably going to be better and safer for children. I am confused about parents' attitudes. Five and above seems like a no-brainer. Two to five, I understand some hesitancy. Two and under with the...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Feb. 4 outlined an expected change to the COVID-19 vaccine schedule for people with weak immune systems and signaled that a different alteration is coming for the general population to try to cut the number of post-vaccination heart inflammation cases.The CDC told its vaccine advisory panel that it is planning to adjust guidance for people with compromised immune systems, a group that doesn’t respond as well to vaccines as the general population and is the only population that is advised to get four shots of the Moderna or Pfizer jabs, or...

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) said on Sunday that a Republican National Committee (RNC) resolution that noted “legitimate political discourse” on Jan. 6 was a mistake. “First of all, they say that part of the reason for the resolution is they want to keep the focus on Joe Biden and the failures of the Democratic administration,” Christie told host Martha Raddatz on ABC's "This Week." “Well, how did that work for you? All anybody is talking about this weekend is this resolution rather than talking about the failures of the Biden administration.”

When future historians seek to pinpoint exactly when it was that the Republican Party stopped being a legitimate political entity promoting a coherent set of principles and was transformed fully into a cult of personality organized around a would-be autocrat, Feb. 4, 2022, might be in contention. That date — last Friday — was when the Republican National Committee formally censured two Republican House members, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, for clinging to genuine conservative ideals while refusing to promote the toxic populism and contempt for democracy that now defines their party. The RNC’s unprecedented sanction against both of them...

Marc Short, former chief of staff for Vice President Mike Pence, said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that at the end of his presidency, the advisers to Donald Trump were “basically snake-oil salesmen.” Anchor Chuck Todd said, “I want to go back to the time of January 6. You guys were under a lot of pressure. When did you conclude that all of the potential allegations that were out there that they were baseless?”

Former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was “illegitimate political discourse because it was an assault on the first branch of government.” The Republican National Committee on Friday voted to censure Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) with a resolution calling into question their participation on the January 6 Select Committee.

Another forum I frequent has presented this link regarding Covid19 etc. Admittedly, my basic physiology education is far exceeded by all of this detail. Has this been circulated/ digested/ discussed by FR somewhere? I am interested learning abd this is very detailed. Can someone distill it down to the basics? Regards

The following is a news analysis and commentary. By now, most people are familiar with the corporate and political interests that have taken hold of information through self-proclaimed "fact checks," and the one-sided censorship policies of Big Tech, often resulting in suppression of accurate information and promotion of false information. Finally, a medical authority is considering suing over the potentially dangerous practices. The case at hand involves the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and an impressive investigative article by journalist Paul Thacker, published last November. The article was entitled, "Revelations of poor practices at a contract research company helping to carry...
