Back in January 2021 The Gateway Pundit reported on the digital COVID vaccination passport system being worked on by Big Tech and Big Pharma. These groups were working on a “vaccine passport” that identifies if you have been properly vaccinated before you travel. Clearly, individual rights were not their concern.Brietbart.com reported at the time.A coalition of tech and health organizations including Oracle, Microsoft, and the Mayo Clinic, is reportedly working to develop a digital COVID-19 vaccination passport that would allow businesses, airlines, and governments to check if individuals have received the vaccine.The Hill reports that a coalition of health and...

“Rule One, on page one of the book of war, is: ‘Do not march on Moscow,’” Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery told the House of Lords in 1962. “Various people have tried it, Napoleon and Hitler, and it is no good.” The victor of El Alamein made an understatement. Napoleon’s invasion in June 1812 took him to Moscow but ended in a total rout of his Grande Armée. By the end of the year, 95 percent of its 600,000 men were dead or taken prisoner. Hitler’s repeat attempt in 1941 cost him the war, with over 80 percent of German military...

The UN’s latest climate change report tried to frighten the globe over melting glaciers on Mount Kilimanjaro. Just like Al Gore did in 2006 when he predicted those glaciers would be gone by now. The latest report warned they will still melt — only in 2040 — because Gore’s prediction was totally wrong. The IPCC’s new addition to its ongoing climate fear-mongering campaign warned how glaciers are projected to “disappear” by “2040 on Kilimanjaro.” This is a major failure from years ago, when former Vice President Al Gore bleated in his infamous 2006 film “An Inconvenient Truth” that “within the...

The Trumpian midterm reelection plan Republican Sen. Rick Scott had hoped would electrify colleagues has instead reenergized Democrats in both chambers, sparking nationwide campaign ads, fundraising appeals, and fresh lines of attack against GOP lawmakers on the ballot this fall. The 11-point strategy, which Scott developed on his own and unveiled February 22, takes conservative-fueled culture wars and MAGA priorities to another level — prompting fellow Republicans to characterize it as "polarizing" and "silly." In addition to imposing new taxes on low- and middle-income earners currently exempt from federal collections, Scott declares war on national mask mandates, local school boards,...

DONALD Trump is on course to win back the White House in 2024, an exclusive poll for Express online has revealed. The results come in a weekend where Mr Trump gave a barnstorming speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida amid growing concerns over Joe Biden’s presidency. Lambasting the man who defeated him in 2020, Mr Trump said: “If you take the five worst Presidents in American history and put them together and they would not do the damage that the Joe Biden administration has done in just a very short 13 months.” According to the Democracy...

The Snake Island soldiers who reportedly told a Russian warship to "go f--- yourself" were captured alive by Russia after initial reports indicated the service members died in the attack, the Ukrainian Navy confirmed Monday. Ukraine's military lost contact with the 13 marines and border guards on Zmiinyi Island, or "Snake" Island, after a Russian attack, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said each of them would be posthumously awarded the title of "Hero of Ukraine." The Russian attack decimated the island’s infrastructure. The crew of a Ukrainian Sapphire civilian ship sent to the island to aid the victims were also...

Zelensky told Axios in a statement on Monday that his country “needs the West to impose a no-fly zone,” a significant escalation potentially tantamount to an act of war. “The sanctions are heading in the right direction. In addition to disconnecting the Russian Central Bank from SWIFT and providing more Stingers and anti-tank weapons, we need the West to impose a no-fly zone over significant parts of Ukraine,” Zelensky said in a statement to Axios. “Ukraine can beat the aggressor. We are proving this to the world. But our allies must also do their part,” he added. On Monday, White...

Col. Douglas Macgregor (Facts): Ukraine is corrupt. Russia about 3 or 4 places above them in corruption. Ukraine is NOT the liberal, shining democracy everyone says it is. Zelinskyy jailed his own journalists & political oppositions.

Maricopa County, Arizona, officials admitted after the 2020 presidential election that there were some 25,000 ballots counted with mismatched signatures that weren't reviewed, or in the language of the election industry, "cured." Actually, the number was more than 200,000. That's according to a study of the county's mail ballots that year that was commissioned by the Arizona State Senate, explains a new report from Just the News.

Russia's ambassador in Washington on Monday described the US expulsion of 12 UN staff as a "hostile move". "This is a hostile move against our country," Anatoly Antonov said on Facebook, adding that Moscow was "deeply disappointed" and "totally rejected" the US claims. A spokeswoman for the US mission to the UN said those ordered to leave had "abused their privileges of residency in the United States by engaging in espionage activities that are adverse to our national security". But Antonov said Washington had once again failed to "fulfil its obligations to ensure normal conditions for the working of foreign...

Well, I was wrong. Putin has gone much further than I thought he would. A consequence of EU and NATO expansion, which came to a head in 2014. It made no sense to poke the Russian bear with a stick. These are dark days for Europe.

A second round of talks aimed at ending Russia's attack on Ukraine is set to take place after the first meeting ended without resolution. The first set of talks, which were held in Belarus on Monday afternoon, ended with Kyiv slamming Russia' destructive processes'. A member of the Ukrainian delegation today said the discussions, which took five hours, were difficult and the Russian side was biased. Presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said on Twitter: 'The Russian side, unfortunately, still has a very biased view of the destructive processes it has launched.' Russian officials, meanwhile, said: 'We have identified certain points from...

I’m a sucker for a vintage cookbook, and apparently so is Brian Theis, recipe developer, Instagram maven, and author of The Infinite Feast: How to Host the Ones You Love. This new cookbook has a spectacularly retro vibe, with midcentury-style illustrations and graphic design, and food photography that evokes the finest images in the Good Housekeeping oeuvre. The concept itself is rather retro, offering menus for fun, quasi-kitschy theme parties throughout the year. And, as you’d expect from a lifelong student of Creole food who calls New Orleans home, Theis’ recipes for a Mardi Gras jamboree are dynamite. Though Theis...

EIGHTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MARK 10:17-27 Friends, in today’s Gospel, a rich young man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. There is something absolutely right about the young man, something spiritually alive, and that is his deep desire to share in everlasting life. He knows what he wants, and he knows where to find it. Jesus responds to his wonderful question by enumerating many of the commandments. The young man takes this in and replies, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” So Jesus looks at him with love and says, “Go,...

Fox Business host Stuart Varney highlighted President Joe Biden’s culpability on inflation, and liberal media efforts to shield him from responsibility by shifting blame to the Russia-Ukraine war.
