Blood clots occur in a third of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. In many cases these clots can be deadly, such as pulmonary embolisms—blood clots that travel to the lungs. In fact, in nearly one third of patients with COVID-19, these clots led to death. An abnormal immune response is thought to be the major driver of severe COVID-19. One protein, called soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, or suPAR, circulates in blood and originates from immune cells and has been shown to play a major role in complications of COVID-19. "Traditionally, clinicians utilize D-dimer, a blood clot breakdown product, to assess...

WAUKESHA, Wis. — Days before Wisconsinites head to the polls in the state’s primary election, former President Donald Trump campaigned in Waukesha for Tim Michels, a fellow businessman and one of the Republicans hoping to become Wisconsin’s next governor. Trump took to the podium just before 8:40 p.m. Friday after his flight was delayed by the weather, telling the crowd “three months from now the people of Wisconsin are going to going to fire your radical Democrat Governor Tony Evers.” The former president touted his accomplishments in office while pointing out what he called the failings of his successor, President...

The UK’s Channel 4 News is reporting that British authorities have installed roughly “one million cameras in every aspect of British life” made by a Chinese company called “Hikvision.” They have been posted in schools, top-secret laboratories, and police buildings. And it’s not just the Brits who are using them. “They [Hikvision] are the biggest providers of surveillance technology on earth,” reported Channel 4 News.The video says that no one knows just how many Hikvision cameras are posted worldwide—that’s about to become very important—though they are believed to own one-third of the market share and produce 36 million cameras per...

Health officials have been making headlines in the news for their recent comments that seem to be reversing previous COVID-19 public health messages. Both Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and former White House COVID-19 advisor Dr. Deborah Birx, admitted that the COVID-19 vaccines are not particularly capable at preventing infection, reversing previous COVID-19 narratives that asserted the vaccine prevented disease acquisition and transmission. Birx said on Fox News July 22, that she “knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection…I think we overplayed the vaccines.” This is a significant...

The spot is so big it's changing the way the sun vibrates, according to spaceweather.com. If the dark spot hurls a blob of plasma at Earth, it could disrupt our magnetic field, affecting GPS and communication satellites orbiting close to Earth as well as airplane navigation systems. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center issued a forecast for an unsettled geomagnetic field around Earth on Aug. 6 and 7, which could means auroras, though whether it becomes a full-blown solar storm is not yet clear. The telltale vibrational changes showed up in a helioseismic map near...

The likely Conservative leadership winner should ignore pleas to move to the centre Pierre Poilievre’s complete dominance of the Conservative party leadership race is undeniable no matter who your favoured candidate is. Should he win, as seems all but inevitable, Poilievre should ignore the advice of critics and pundits on the left, as well as some within his party, who argue he needs to moderate his message and policies. The Conservatives have tried that for the last two elections and it is a losing strategy. Instead, the party should embrace the chance to bring forth an agenda built around Poilievre’s...

So it potentially affects all organs. And that’s what the medical doctors now see, they see all sorts of symptoms that they do not know what it is. And because the adverse effects are so not just single one adverse effect, but can be anything, they surface very difficult to a statistical level. And that’s why we do analysis on all cause mortality, because say, okay, and if we do not know what is exactly related to vaccination, of course, the coagulation problems, myocarditis, we know that, but there are many more things happening at the moment. And so that’s...

A teenager from St. Paul suspected of shooting and killing a 15-year-old in downtown Minneapolis had, at the time of the incident, been on probation for a gun charge. Tashawn Powell, 17, was charged with second-degree murder Thursday after allegedly shooting Fred Ulysses Walker, 15, at a light rail station in downtown Minneapolis Tuesday evening, according to Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman. Metro Transit surveillance video captured the 15-year-old Walker putting his hands up before Powell shot him in the chest. Paramedics declared Walker dead at the scene after police and a Good Samaritan tried to save him. Per the...

OK, so I woke up this morning with a thought. It may not be worth anything. People here are understandable frustrated with the fundraising and lack of donations to the site. We also do not want to clutter the site with ads and become beholden to outside interests. We want to remain as independent and self-reliant as possible. Why not merchandize the FR name? Sell coffee cups, water bottles, t-shirts, etc with the FR URL and logo? I'm a woodturner and can make pens with logos/messages on them (though I *am* employed full time and would not have the time...

I know I'm not around much, but I am requesting that the prayer warriors here and anyone else interested pray for my son-in-law who was in an ATV accident. He is coming out of the medically induced coma, and is breathing on his own, but has a long way to go. He suffered facial fractures, small brain bleeds and other injuries, is opening his eyes, and tracking the nurses with them, has responded to pain and vocal stimuli, but has yet to wake up fully or speak. Please pray for his complete and rapid recovery. He remains in ICU at...

Nicaraguans Denounce ‘Scandalous Silence’ of Pope Francis as Communists Attack Churches, Silence Catholic RadioNicaraguan Catholics are reportedly increasingly upset at Pope Francis for remaining silent as the oppressive Communist regime of dictator Daniel Ortega shuts down Catholic radio stations and sends goon squads to harass protesters.“Ortega-Murillo’s brutal assault on Catholic clergy, radio facilities and community members in Sebaco is another blow to religious freedom in Nicaragua as well as to the freedom of expression. How can men and women in uniform – many of them people of faith – carry out such orders?” said Undersecretary of State for Western Hemisphere...

John Logan has written many devilish characters for the screen, like Sweeney Todd, Silva from Skyfall, and The Aviator’s take on Howard Hughe. But Logan has created a more ambiguous con man in his new Blumhouse’s movie, They/Them: Owen Whistler, leader of his family’s LGBTQ+ conversion camp, is portrayed by Kevin Bacon. He soothes his suspicious queer campers by using calm, therapeutic rhetoric; he does it to disengage the campers and earn their trust. Or — as Logan tells MovieMaker — “using the language of the angels to serve the devil.” They/Them isn’t about any ordinary summer camp. Its counselors...

Bill Gates — Monkeying Around In Nigeria Years Ago TOPICS:AfricaBill GatesMaryam HeneinMonkeypoxNigeriaScience AUGUST 5, 2022 By Maryam Henein I often play a sick rendition of Where’s Waldo? – except I am looking for Billy Boy Gates instead. While doing research into MonkeyPox Virus (MPXV), I didn’t need to go far to find the mad sweater-wearing ghoul. On July 29th, on the heels of the World Hoax Organization (WHO) announcing monkeypox as the next “plandemic,” National Public Radio (NPR) put out a story that received little fanfare or coverage. In 2017, Dr. Dimie Ogoina, professor of medicine and infectious diseases at...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr called the newest federal grand jury subpoenas probing the Jan. 6, 202, Capitol riot "a significant event," one that suggests that government prosecutors are probing high-ranking Trump administration officials and allies, and even former President Donald Trump. "This suggests to me that they're taking a hard look at the group at the top, including the president and the people immediately around him who were involved in this," Barr told CBS News' Catherine Herridge in an interview Friday.

"Not content with just spying on your online purchases, way too big leftist megacorp Amazon (founded by Jeff Bezos, who still owns the DC ComPost sleezepaper, which murders our Republic daily no matter the lighting or weather) today dropped iRobot into it’s cart. The move adds to Amazon’s holdings of 40 subsidiaries and counting. Among the companies they already use to spy on and control you are: Amazon itself (duh), FreeVee streamer..."

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

[Catholic Caucus] EXCLUSIVE: Pro-LGBT cardinal claims Pope Francis is in ‘full agreement’ with his stanceCardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, relator general of the 'Synod on Synodality,' said that 'we must listen to the people of the world, what they express' regarding changes to Catholic teaching.CHICAGO (LifeSiteNews) – The openly pro-homosexual head of the European bishops’ commission has again cast doubt on the perennial Catholic doctrine on homosexuality and appeared to suggest that he thinks the Catholic Church can change its teaching through the worldwide “Synod on Synodality,” and claimed that he knows that he is “in full agreement with Pope Francis” on...

In a joint initiative, African countries are renewing their efforts to obtain reparations from European countries for the transatlantic slave trade and other colonial-era wrongs committed centuries ago. The slave trade — which affected millions of Africans — was the largest forced migration in history and one of the most inhumane. Over 400 years, Africans were transported to many areas of the world, yet no reparations have as yet been paid. The process is proving much slower than many Africans expected. This week Ghana's president, Nana Akufo-Addo, revived the push for slavery and colonial retribution. "No amount of money can...

(LifeSiteNews) – A researcher who queried the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) discovered a 10,661.4% increase in cancer reports as a result of experimental COVID-19 gene-base vaccines as compared with all FDA-approved vaccines over the last 30 years. Brian Shilhavy, who is the editor of Health Impact News, traced his steps in the search providing links to documentation of his various findings. Having first queried the cases of “the most common cancers [that] had been reported following COVID-19 vaccines,” he found “837 cases of cancer, including 88 deaths, 66 permanent disabilities, and 104 life...
