So, this was the weekend of “surge and contain.” Like many things we’ve heard from Ottawa police Chief Peter Sloly, it wasn’t entirely clear Friday what he was talking about. It’s certainly true there were more police officers in the “red zone” around Parliament Hill than last weekend. There were seven or eight Sudbury police officers, for instance, walking around in a pack on the sidewalk — “patrolling” it is probably called, or “surging,” as it were, “containing” who knows what. But there were barbecues on the go on Wellington Street and wood-burning fires in metal containers and Christian tents...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemEphesians 6The Armor of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your...

Abstract Relevance: Ivermectin, as an old anti-parasite drug, can suppress almost completely the growth of various human cancers, including ovarian cancer (OC). However, its anticancer mechanism remained to be further studied at the molecular levels. Ivermectin-related molecule-panel changes will serve a useful tool for its personalized drug therapy and prognostic assessment in OCs. Purpose: To explore the functional significance of ivermectin-mediated lncRNA-EIF4A3-mRNA axes in OCs and ivermectin-related molecule-panel for its personalized drug therapy monitoring. Methods: Based on our previous study, a total of 16 lncRNA expression patterns were analyzed using qRT-PCR before and after ivermectin-treated different OC cell lines (TOV-21G...

Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob. Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!” Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.” “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to...

The high of victimhood and the power it bestows is just too much for Palm Beach County School Board members to resist. They fear for their lives over threats that don’t seem to have happened. Like many school boards around the country, the PBC School Board has abused its power since COVID began. When a group of people with a bit of power treat the public like dirt, the people usually respond in kind. Threats of violence are wrong and shouldn’t be tolerated, but calling elected officials names, even vulgar ones, is a time-honored way to deal with politicians.

Freedom loving people in the United States, Canada and worldwide need to learn a valuable lesson about the woke masters of the Internet. Most of these popular social media and crowdfunding sites need to be avoided like the plague. For years, the leftists who control these platforms have clearly shown they do not believe in free speech and are obsessed with removing content from conservatives if it conflicts with the progressive agenda. Whether the topic is the 2020 election or COVID-19, Internet censors are enthusiastic to remove content from conservatives on a variety of platforms. The same censorship does not...

The governing Canadian officials (both political parties) can no longer keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in hiding; they have exhausted all possible political justifications including a manufactured “security threat”, and a COVID-19 “diagnosis” that required quarantine. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is going to have to come back to work in Ottawa. As a direct result, to protect the political viability of their King, the pretorian guard must remove the pesky freedom protest groups. Everything takes on an additional sense of urgency, after all, “the Canadian democracy is at stake.” To handle this dynamic, the City of Ottawa officials have just...

A top retired Russian general has warned Vladimir Putin not to go to war with Ukraine, accusing the leader of whipping up an 'artificial' conflict to distract from his domestic problems. Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov, 78, penned an open letter titled 'The Eve of War' in which he blasted Putin's 'criminal policy of provoking a war' despite Russia not facing any 'critical threats'... Ivashov,.. previously served as Putin's chief of military cooperation in the Ministry of Defence. Ivashov said: 'As for external threats, they are certainly present. But, according to our expert assessment, they are not currently critical, directly threatening the...

In a February 5 editorial, "The GOP Censures Liz Cheney," The Wall Street Journal indicated that its ongoing nostalgia for the Bushies still clouds its political judgment. The editorial insisted that the censure by the Republican National Committee of the turncoat representatives Cheney and Kinzinger will be detrimental to GOP chances in the midterm congressional elections, later this year. Why? In a squib highlighting the editorial's main point, the suggestion is that the RNC's censure is "dividing" Republicans and, thereby, will hand the Democrats victory in the congressional midterms. What nonsense. Those "Republicans" in Liz Cheney's corner are, more than...

Friends, today’s Gospel reports Jesus healing many people at Gennesaret. We hear that people brought the sick from all over the region and all of them were cured. "Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed." It’s hard to deny that Jesus was known as a healer and a miracle worker. And there is also abundant evidence that the performance of miracles was a major reason why the first preachers were taken...

The ongoing controversy involving podcast giant Joe Rogan and his Spotify platform is playing out like a soap opera and shows no sign of abating. Among those weighing in are music legends like Neil Young and Jon Mitchell, actors like Dwayne Johnson (aka “The Rock”) and Sharon Stone, and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, on behalf of resident Biden himself. What has become clear, though, in this larger debate about free speech and “misinformation” is that Rogan himself does not seem to be an ideologue. In other words, the very popular (and famously foul-mouthed) podcast host, comedian, and UFC...

American truckers are planning the Convoy to DC 2022 after seeing what Canadian Truckers Freedom Convoy has done in Canada and the U.S-Canada border. This Freedom Convoy is tentatively planned for March 2022.The Convoy to DC 2022 will be very similar to the Canadian Truckers Freedom Convoy but the one major difference will be the sheer size. Lets look at the numbers. Canada has between 35,000 - 60,000 owner operators nationwide. The U.S. by contrast has over 350,000 owner operator truck drivers and that number may be considerably higher when considering small carriers and those who refer to themselves as...

In mid-January, the gigantic blowout spending bill going by the Orwellian name of Build Back Better died in the Senate. Over in the progressive precincts of government and the media, where everyone knows that all human wealth and well-being come entirely from government largesse, it was time to prepare for the bad economic news. Surely, with no massive new government blowout spending and with Omicron surging, the January jobs report would be dismal, likely even showing employment declines. Therefore, in the run-up to Friday’s jobs report for January, the White House spin machine was in full tornado mode, blaming the...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Feb. 6. The opponents of the treasury note legal tender met a Waterloo defeat to-day. The majority in favor of the legal tender clause astonishes even the friends of the measure. Before the hour of the meeting, the fate of the latter provision was deemed doubtful. As soon, however, as a canvass showed a certain majority of 15, the wavering all came into its support as an administration measure. The measure was strengthened also by dispatches from the Cincinnati banks and Gov. SPRAGUE to the Ohio and Rhode Island delegations, urging the indispensability of the legal tender. VALLANDIGHAM,...

In 2013, American virologist Ralph Baric approached Zhengli Shi at a meeting. Shi had detected the genome of a new virus, called SHC014, that was one of the two closest relatives to the original SARS virus, but her team had not been able to culture it in the lab. Baric had developed a way around that problem—a technique for “reverse genetics” in coronaviruses. Not only did it allow him to bring an actual virus to life from its genetic code, but he could mix and match parts of multiple viruses. He wanted to take the “spike” gene from SHC014 and...

OTTAWA – GoFundMe froze more than $10 million raised by a Canadian trucker convoy, prompting outrage from conservatives and calls for an investigation from Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) who declared the truckers “heros.” But the group has already raised another $2 million from GiveSendGo in the last 36 hours with tens of thousands of dollars pouring in every minute. The convoy is also facing a lawsuit from the city of Ottawa over disruption of services and noise even though the convoy arrived in town while Ottawa was in the grips of a provincial lockdown with...

Dear Ambassador Mr Chris Cooter I hereby write this letter to protest the abuse of Canadian truckers and the freedom convoy by the Canadian Police. As a freedom loving Zimbabwean I have an obligation to challenge you and your government to stop violating the human rights enshrined in Canadian constitution. The Freedom Convoy is not violating the Canadian constitution or laws but it’s Canadians expressing their rights and opposition to Covid-19 mandates.
