Poliovirus has been detected in sewage samples collected in London between February and May, the U.K. Health Security Agency said today. While there have been no cases of paralysis, investigations are underway to determine if there is any community transmission, the agency said.“Importantly, the poliovirus detected in the sewage — called vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (VDPV2) — is not the same as wild polio. Vaccine-derived polio occurs if the weakened live virus in oral polio vaccines — which does not cause polio in the recipient, and is shed by vaccinated kids through their digestive system — circulates in under-vaccinated communities...

He's hatched a plot with NGOs to use government agencies doling goodies for double duty as get-out-the-vote machines. He stole it once, and got away with it... Why wouldn't he do it again? Which is the unfortunate conclusion from Mollie Hemingway in a new report in The Federalist. Joe Biden has a new plan to rig and steal the midterms. He's not only doing it now, he's been working on it for a while. Hemingway notes that it probably isn't legal, given that the executive branch has no right to get involved with elections. As a result, Biden and his...

On Thursday morning the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down restrictive "may issue" concealed carry laws in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the majority opinion and explained how the Second Amendment is not a second-class right. The arguments made by the dissenting justices were wildly irrelevant from the issue of constitutionality and current law, prompting Justice Samuel Alito to file a separate, concurring opinion destroying their claims. He also took issue with their ignorance and arrogance surrounding the facts of lawful gun ownership vs. criminality. (Take a look, bolding is mine)

Do you remember Trump’s inauguration in 2017? Rioters set fires, harassed and assaulted people, threw bricks, and worse. None of the rioters were ever really held accountable, and now they’re getting a big cash settlement over their arrests. The city of Washington has reached a $1.6 million settlement in two lawsuits that included allegations of arrests without cause and excessive force on protestors during the inauguration of former President Donald Trump in January 2017.

The retail industry is facing a potential tidal wave of bankruptcies later this year as rising prices begin to dent consumer demand and stores begin to contend with bloated inventories. CNBC reports the potential for an economic recession is also still looming. The first domino may have already fallen as beauty giant Revlon filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last week. Now consumers and shareholders alike are wondering who’s next. “Retail is in flux,” Perry Mandarino, co-head of investment banking and head of corporate restructuring at B. Riley Securities, told CNBC. “And within the next five years, the landscape will...

Changes to the makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 raise the possibility that Roe v. Wade could be severely undermined—or even overturned—essentially leaving the legality of abortion to individual states. A reversal of Roe could establish a legal path for states’ pre-1973 abortion bans, as well as currently unenforced post-1973 bans, to take effect. Many state lawmakers continue to consider and enact abortion bans that fly in the face of constitutional standards and Roe’s precedent in anticipation of an eventual lawsuit on such a ban coming before a Supreme Court hostile to abortion rights. Some bans prohibit abortion...

What a legacy for Biden/Pelosi/Schumer/Powell, the four horsemen of the inflation apocalypse. As inflation soars, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment index plunged to its lowest level in history. The good news? The University of Michigan Buying Conditions for housing only fell to its lowest level since 1982. The four horsemen of the inflation apocalypse.

"And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink." "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and...

A protestor is scaling the top of the Frederick Douglass Bridge -- The man is waving a flag that reads “don’t tread on my uterus."

Oh, I know. There's a lot of resistance to this from the left and it is the strenuousness and magnitude of that outrage which ought to be a clue to its true nature. Remember, these are the same people who promoted Russian collusion for four years and they employed the same shaming tactics when we argued against it. Let's make the case. Let's go back to 2008 when Barack Obama set the goal: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”. Joe Biden is Obama III. Hillary Clinton would have been Obama III except for...

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump praised the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade Friday, telling Fox News that the ruling "will work out for everybody." "This is following the Constitution, and giving rights back when they should have been given long ago," Trump told Fox News. When asked if he had a message for any of his supporters who may be pro-choice, Trump told Fox News: "I think, in the end, this is something that will work out for everybody." "This brings everything back to the states where it has always belonged," Trump said. When asked whether he feels...

VIDEOCOINTELPRO, the FBI Counterintelligence Program from over 50 years ago, is back and bigger than ever. In addition, they have now fully embraced becoming a Political Police Agency to the extent of raiding the homes of journalists such as James O'Keefe as well as Republican officials in an effort to neutralize them ahead of the midterm elections. Here you can see FBI officials address the concerns about the COINTELPRO abuses with complete candor.Oh, and it should be noted that the new COINTELPRO operations were completely suspended for the day of January 6, 2021. Got that? No FBI counterintelligence operations on...

"You're So Vain' Carly Simon The Number One Song In The USA On January 22nd, 1973... "Good Evening in a landmark ruling the Supreme Court today legalized abortion..." Walter Cronkite On The "CBS Evening News"-January 22, 1973... Today's decision comes months after the Supreme Court heard arguments about a Mississippi Abortion Law spun as "Conservative" by the various media (Drive-By Or Fakeservative) yet a 15-week abortion law makes the laws of France and Spain look more conservative (14-week abortion laws in those countries)...

Legal abortion came to an end in Missouri on Friday with the activation of the state's "trigger law," banning the procedure minutes after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its federal constitutionality. The high court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization allows states to impose their own laws on abortion, overturning the 1973 decision Roe v. Wade that established it as legal under the U.S. Constitution. A 2019 law passed by Missouri's Republican legislature says "no abortion shall be performed or induced upon a woman, except in cases of medical emergency," taking effect after the Supreme Court "has overruled,...

President Biden will address the nation on the Roe v. Wade ruling at 12:30 today from the White House

Under withering attack from conservatives, President Bush abandoned his push to put loyalist Harriet Miers on the Supreme Court and promised a quick replacement Thursday. Democrats accused him of bowing to the “radical right wing of the Republican Party.” The White House said Miers had withdrawn because of senators’ demands to see internal documents related to her role as counsel to the president. But politics played a larger role: Bush’s conservative backers had doubts about her ideological purity, and Democrats had little incentive to help the nominee or the embattled GOP president. “Let’s move on,” said Republican Sen. Trent Lott...
