This week alone, we heard three different accounts of people who developed alopecia, an autoimmune condition, after getting a covid shot. A particularly sad story came from a friend whose neighbor vaccinated her teenage son. His hair has been falling out in clumps since being vaccinated. He developed bald spots all over his head, along with thinning patches of hair. His head is 95% bald, and now he’s losing his eyebrows and eyelashes, along with all of the confidence he had since so many people stare at him in shock at his hairless appearance. Can you imagine the guilt his...

Many observers believe leaking this information is tied to the Biden administration's efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. As President Biden prepares to visit Israel and Saudi Arabia next week, experts and former officials are warning that an often-overlooked issue risks undermining efforts to increase cooperation among U.S. allies in the Middle East. That issue is anonymous U.S. officials consistently leaking information to the media about alleged covert Israeli operations against Iran, from targeted killings to explosions at nuclear sites. "It's a sign of extraordinary incompetence and unprofessionalism from Biden and his foreign policy team," said Fred Fleitz,...

embers of the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority just last week took the next step in a little-noticed, but extremely dangerous, project: attempting to jam into law a radical misinterpretation of the Constitution’s elections and electors clauses, which, if successful, would create electoral chaos across the country. Before next summer, and well in advance of the 2024 presidential election, the Court could strip state courts and state constitutions of their ability to check and balance state legislators when they make laws for federal elections, giving partisan majorities near-total control over how voters cast ballots and how those ballots are counted. And...

A member of the Jan. 6 committee indicated former White House counsel Pat Cipollone was not directly asked to corroborate or respond to Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony that he had advised former President Donald Trump against going to the Capitol on Jan. 6. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said on Sunday that Capitol riot investigators do not call witnesses to "corroborate other witnesses" but stressed that Cipollone provided testimony that "does not dispute" what Hutchinson told the committee. "We never call in witnesses to corroborate other witnesses or to give their reaction to other witnesses," Lofgren said during an interview with CNN's...

AGoFundMe page launched for a New York City bodega worker was taken down after a video allegedly showed the employee fatally stabbing a man. "Our terms of service prohibit fundraising for the legal defense of a violent crime. At this time, the fundraiser has been removed and all donors have been refunded," a GoFundMe spokesperson told Newsweek on Thursday. The 51-year-old Manhattan worker, Jose Alba, has been detained at Rikers Island on $250,000 bond after he was accused of killing Austin Simon in an alleged self-defense act on Friday, according to the video obtained by the New York Post.

Ukraine plans a "million-strong army" equipped with Nato weapons to retake the south of the country from occupying Russians, the defence minister says. Retaking the areas around the Black Sea coast was vital to the country's economy, Oleksii Reznikov said. However, the comments are more of a rallying cry than a concrete plan, says the BBC's Joe Inwood in Kyiv.

The artillery duel in Ukraine’s east shows no signs of slowing as troops gobble through thousands of 155mm rounds every single day. A senior defense official told reporters in a background briefing on Friday that Ukrainian forces are firing some 3,000 155mm shells per day at Russian forces. The revelation came amid questioning on the latest tranche of weapons and ammunition being sent to Ukraine, including, for the first time 1,000 guided 155mm 'smart' shells. The official said despite the high usage rate, Ukrainian forces still have “substantial stores” of 155mm rounds and are far from running out with more...

For some “polite” conservatives, projecting virtue where it doesn’t exist is a daily survival mechanism. They have to believe someone is honestly counting the votes. If you aren’t at least a little troubled by Steve Kirsch’s most recent inventory of COVID absurdities or Dr. Pierre Kory’s frontline report indicating an increase in cardiac “crash cart” inventory along with a very disturbing tweet about increased demand for child-sized caskets, then I’m guessing you, like most people, have trouble functioning if our institutions aren’t working. We can all abide the stench of a little grift here and there. We can be patient...

In the court of The Copper King! Copper, one of the economic measures of a growing economy, is down -27% since March 3, 2022 as recession looks more likely. Let’s compare copper with another famous asset, Bitcoin. Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, is down 70% since November 9, 2021. As I discussed yesterday, The Fed’s five-year forward breakeven inflation rate has plunged to its lowest levels under Biden as the global economy is slowing. Notice that copper prices fit pretty well with The Fed’s 5-year breakeven inflation rate. It looks like The Fed is killing-off the economy in their quest to tame...

The United States Supreme Court has defended and restored the bear half of the right to keep and bear arms, in the recent Bruen decision. Much work remains to be done. It is clear that the people have a right to bear arms outside the home. One of the major purposes is for the defense of self and others.An area left undefined in Bruen is the right to bear arms in defense of self and others while traveling, particularly while traveling across state lines.There was no prohibition on carrying arms at the time of ratification in 1791. Carrying arms for...

Executive Order 14067—Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets March 09, 2022 By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Policy. Advances in digital and distributed ledger technology for financial services have led to dramatic growth in markets for digital assets, with profound implications for the protection of consumers, investors, and businesses, including data privacy and security; financial stability and systemic risk; crime; national security; the ability to exercise human rights; financial inclusion and equity; and energy demand and climate change....

This is a well-done short dramatization of the issues and logic and pursuit of facts about the Covid-19 vaccine and about treatment that works and the massive, totalitarian censorship of the truth, focusing on how this played out in particular in California, where the the person in charge of the Board of Medicine has zero training in medicine. This one of a set of short clear, factual presentations on the important website spelling out with data the scope of the lies and repression of facts and people.

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 34Jacob Returns to Bethel 35 Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.” 2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes. 3 Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and...

A fascinating claim is circulating the internet: that there’s a moment each year when 99% of the world’s population gets sunlight. Is it true?As July rolls around, our number crunchers thought it was worth fact-checking a July-related claim that has been making the rounds on the internet lately.In the original post, Reddit user GiddySwine presents a still image of our Day and Night World Map, claiming that 99% of the world’s population is between dawn and dusk on July 8 at 11:15 UTC.A more widely circulated version claims that 99% of the population gets daylight at that moment...A brief look...

We learn by our mistakes. But if we deny them, we learn nothing. Many years ago, when Roger Ebert reported John Wayne’s comment about the great movie “High Noon,” I was surprised. “What a piece of you-know-what that was,” Wayne said. “Here’s a town full of people who have ridden in covered wagons all the way across the plains, fightin’ off Indians and drought and wild animals in order to settle down and make themselves a homestead. And then when three no-good bad guys walk into town and the marshal asks for a little help, everybody in town gets shy....

<p>These humanitarian rich feel just terrible about the sins of America, but not terrible enough to sacrifice any element of their privileged lifestyles—the just deserts they feel for being so righteous.</p><p>But in the short time that the French Revolution became utterly unhinged, toxic, and nihilistic, she became nonetheless iconic as an out-of-touch elite who had lived in a make-believe world at Versailles, without a clue (or care?) about the ordeal of the masses.</p>

Philly Mayor Says Only Police Should Have Guns This is why many politicians don't like to speak off the cuff because when in doubt about what to say, they tell you the truth. The Philadelphia Mayor, Jim Kenney, just told the truth about how he feels about guns. "I was in Canada two weeks ago and never thought about a gun," he said. "The only people I knew who had guns in Canada were police officers." "That's the way it should be here" He only wants the police to have guns! How is that not about control? For crying out...
