President Joe Biden’s decision to transfer student debt to taxpayers is likely an inflationary, expensive mistake that will leave “American taxpayers footing the bill,” the Washington Post’s Editorial Board wrote Wednesday. Citing a study by the American Enterprise Institute published in 2019, WaPo opposed Biden’s decision to transfer student debt because the greatest beneficiaries will be from high-income families. The paper also said the decision will fuel 40-year-high inflation.

A whopping 79 percent of Americans suggest President Donald Trump likely would have won reelection if voters had known the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop—that it was real and not “Russian disinformation,” as intelligence officials aligned with Joe Biden falsely led the public to believe, a new national poll reveals. The survey of 1,335 adults was conducted earlier this month by New Jersey-based Technometrica Institute of Policy and Politics. The vast majority of those following the issue said they believe that the laptop is real, while only 11 percent still believe it was created by Russia.

Moderna is taking Pfizer and Germany's BioNTech to court, claiming the rival drugmakers copied its technology in developing their COVID-19 vaccine. In documents filed in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts and in Germany, Moderna claims Pfizer and BioNTech violated its intellectual property rights on key parts of its messenger RNA technology, which it had patents on from 2010 to 2016. "We believe that Pfizer and BioNTech unlawfully copied Moderna's inventions, and they have continued to use them without permission," Shannon Thyme Klinger, chief legal officer for Moderna, a biotechnology startup based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said Friday in a statement. Pfizer...

A new analysis of remains from medieval Cambridge shows that local Augustinian friars were almost twice as likely as the city’s general population to be infected by intestinal parasites. This is despite most Augustinian monasteries of the period having latrine blocks and hand-washing facilities, unlike the houses of ordinary working people. Researchers from the University of Cambridge’s Department of Archaeology say the difference in parasitic infection may be down to monks manuring crops in friary gardens with their own faeces, or purchasing fertiliser containing human or pig excrement. The study, published today in the International Journal of Paleopathology, is the...

'Thus, when a person experiences same-sex attraction or some form of gender dysphoria, such struggles do not change the biological fact of how God created that person, and it would be untruthful for the Catholic Church or our Catholic schools to pretend otherwise,' wrote the bishop.SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota (LifeSiteNews) – In defence of the Catholic Church’s authentic teaching on human sexuality, Bishop Donald DeGrood of the Diocese of Sioux Falls published new guidelines banning people publicly living as the opposite sex from baptism, Holy Communion, membership in parish councils and being godparents. In the 14-page document, titled “Diocesan policy:...

Michael J. Cohen, one of the most prominent figures in New York’s gay nightlife scene, has long reigned as a gatekeeper for young queer men looking to attend exclusive parties and clubs. He now faces a range of sexual misconduct allegations — including accusations that he groped or pressured men to have sex or send nude photos, as well as a claim of sexual assault — from members of that same community, according to nine people who told NBC News about their experiences over the past decade. In 2015, Charles Battersby, then 19, was elated when Cohen offered to introduce...

LUBBOCK, Texas — Keeping up with the latest news can be very bad for your health, according to a new study. Researchers at Texas Tech University found that Americans who obsessively follow the news are more likely to suffer from both physical and mental health problems, including anxiety and stress. Those who constantly check the latest headlines end up with “significantly greater physical ill-being” than those who tune in less often, according to the findings. The team adds that constantly keeping on top of the latest developments can lead to a vicious cycle where people always check for more updates,...

Donald Trump’s biggest failure was not doing a thorough housecleaning at the FBI. No doubt Trump agrees with me, given all that has been going on lately. Yesterday’s news revealed a double-whammy that added more clarity to just how heavy the Bureau’s thumb was on the 2020 presidential election scale, and all of it has to do with Joe Biden’s sleazebag progeny, Hunter. ... FBI was working overtime to make sure voters didn’t have information about Hunter Biden’s cocaine and hookers criminal antics. ... According to Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), a whistleblower claims that FBI officials told investigators not to...

“Two blind men followed Him, crying out, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David!’” (Matthew 9:27). That the blind men called Jesus the “Son of David” means they recognized Him as the Christ. Son of David was one of the most common Jewish titles for Messiah. It was also a royal title indicating that Messiah would come from the family of King David and have a right to rule over the promised divine kingdom. God first promised that the Deliverer for His people would be a man, the seed of a woman (cf. Gen. 3:15). Later in the Old Testament,...

Do you know it is possible to walk before the Lord with a perfect heart? If you are hungering for Jesus, you may already be desiring and earnestly trying to obey this command of the Lord. I want to encourage you that it is possible, or God would not have given us such a call. Having a perfect heart has been part of the life of faith from the time God told Abraham, “I am Almighty God; walk before me and be blameless” (Genesis 17:1, NKJV). To come to grips with the idea of perfection, we first must understand that...

Tuesday’s election results have ushered in a new day for the supposedly nonpartisan Miami-Dade School Board. Ideology and leadership are about to be flipped on their head That is no accident. It is the result of a calculated move by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez. Well-played, but, perhaps, to this community’s detriment.

"An Unexpected Virus Culprit (Epstein-Barr Virus) is Found in Long-COVID. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a bigger threat than we thought, and we still don’t know how to treat it. EBV normally pops up during times of stress and lowered immunity (stress is one of many factors that lower immunity)."

The line snaked out from the Central Wyoming Fairgrounds Industrial Building and down the road outside. Voters stood in the warming August sun, waiting for an opportunity to cast their ballots Tuesday in Wyoming’s most discussed primary election in memory. In a state dominated by Republicans, primaries take on additional significance. Still, it was unusual — in fact, historic — to have so many people lined up to vote. Many of those voters were clear about what motivated them to show up. They were there to cast out Rep. Liz Cheney. They succeeded. Cheney lost by nearly 40 points to...

For anyone who hasn't seen this - NIH sanctions against EcoHealth Alliance for refusing to comply with grant requirements (they will not turn over records of what they did in Wuhan). I believe this is not unrelated to Anthony Fauci's very recent change in career plans. Click the "source URL" to read the letter.
