Keir Starmer was bundled into Police Car after being accosted by an angry crowd of anti-lockdown demonstrators outside Scotland Yard, London.Protesters were heard shouting “traitor” and also shouted slurs at the leader of the opposition, who has proven to be no opposition at all when needed during the Plandemic.The demonstrators had gathered in London in support of the Convoy, which was broken up earlier by the police.

he United States will ease tariffs on steel imported from Japan, officials announced Monday, in the latest move by President Joe Biden’s administration to resolve trade disputes started under his predecessor Donald Trump.

SIGN OF THE CROSS By Steve Ray The Sign of the Cross is a ritual gesture by which we confess two important mysteries: the Trinity and the centrality of the Cross. It is the most common and visible means by which we confess our faith. The Sign of the Cross is made by touching the forehead with the fingers of the right hand, then the breast and then the left and right shoulders. The sign was originally placed upon the forehead with the thumb and later extended to the whole upper body. This is not only a personal gesture, as...

[Catholic Caucus] The Woke Pope Epitomizes Liberal Illiberalism The woke Pope epitomises liberal illiberalism The ‘merciful’ leader of the Catholic Church is persecuting a harmless minority: traditionalists Tim Stanley The Daily Telegraph February 7, 2022 The Pope, you have probably read, is ever-smiling, merciful and tolerant.

Notably, in September there were only two induced abortions performed after six weeks of gestation, which the new law allows only under medical exemptions.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Democrats vowed Monday the fight for registered voters was far from over, announcing a multi-million dollar effort to reclaim their margin over Republicans ahead of the consequential midterm elections. State Democrats have started 2022 with a voter registration deficit of more than 43,000. That is a first in state history.

Far-left Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), who spent thousands on her own private security last year, continues to champion the “Defund the Police” movement, despite its floundering popularity among Democrats before the midterm elections. “My colleagues keep telling us to wait. They keep telling us defunding the police and investing in communities won’t work,” the congresswoman tweeted on Saturday. “Well their policies keep ending up with police murdering Black people. Enough patronizing. Listen to the movements that are telling you how to save lives.”

Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire set up a fundraiser for Congresswoman Alexandria Cortez’s grandmother to buy a new ceiling. But it was cut off when “someone” informed the fundraising platform...

Individual aspects of poor sleep can be detrimental to heart health. But if you combine them, the risk of heart disease can increase by as much as 141 percent. Researchers focused on multiple aspects of sleep health, such as regularity, satisfaction, alertness during waking hours, timing of sleep, sleep efficiency and sleep duration and linked them to physician-diagnosed heart disease. They found that each additional increase in self-reported sleep health problems was associated with a 54 percent increased risk of heart disease. The estimated risk of heart disease associated with an increase in sleep health problems was much higher for...

Summary: 1. The medical database used by the US military shows a huge uptick in serious events in 2021. Only events caused by the vaccine (as noted by the uptick in VAERS reports for these symptoms) were elevated. 2.

This is why there is a complete news blackout on the story of the year. 4. Their explanation doesn’t hold water for several reasons: A. there is no justification...
