He literally said there is going to be another pandemic. “We don’t just need more money for vaccines for children, eventually; we need more money to plan for the second pandemic,” Biden told reporters in the White House. “There’s going to be another pandemic.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has picked another fight with progressive corporate America, this time the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team. When he signed the state budget last week, Mr. DeSantis zeroed out $35 million to help build a new site for the Rays’ spring training. “I don’t support giving taxpayer dollars to professional sports stadiums, period,” he said Friday. This is a good policy that too few states emulate, and Florida taxpayers can be grateful that their Governor has a line-item veto and is willing to use it

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), projected to lose Alabama’s GOP Senate primary runoff against rival Katie Britt after a full slap in the face from ex-President Donald Trump, concluded his rocky campaign with some bitter words in his concession speech on Tuesday night. “The voters have spoken,” but “they might not have spoken wisely,” Brooks complained to supporters at his election night party, per the Washington Post. The ultra-MAGA congressman took a shot at Britt, who won a last-minute endorsement from Trump, and her apparent lack of MAGA-ness. “It’s always appropriate to congratulate the winners, and some of these winners might...

He added, "Young, rigid priests, who want to save with rigidity ... I don't know, but they take this attitude of rigidity and sometimes — excuse me — from the museum."

In this video, you can see pushback from a few parents along with the warning that school board...

Three white women were randomly and brutally assaulted by a black man in Philadelphia last week. The video of the violent attack has gone viral. The beating was unprovoked, and many feel it should be considered a hate crime. Yet, so far, Philadelphia authorities have been reluctant to treat it as such, and many are wondering if it is because the victims are white. The attack appears unprovoked, as the women did not know the black man who attacked them. Additionally, he did not attempt to steal anything from them or try any sexual crimes. He targeted three white women,...

The FDA’s “Future Framework” for Covid Vaccines Is a Reckless PlanPfizer and Moderna have a problem. Their mRNA Covid-19 shots do not stop infection, transmission, hospitalization, nor death from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Over half a billion doses have been injected into Americans in the past 17 months and these shots have made no discernible impact on the course of the pandemic. Far more Americans have died of coronavirus since the introduction of the shots than before they were introduced.Pfizer and Moderna are making about $50 billion a year on these shots and they want that to continue. So they need...
