[Dr. Gilbert Berdine of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and Ryan McMaken discuss the policy makers’ justifications for vaccine mandates over the past two years. Will any of these policy makers admit to any mistakes?]Ryan McMaken: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier this month greatly scaled back its recommendations for quarantine and social distancing. It also now makes the same recommendations “regardless of vaccination status.” In other words, the CDC now apparently does not regard vaccinated people as any less a public health risk than the unvaccinated. What does this tell us about where we...

The fact that China is abusing millions of people in Xinjiang is hardly news at this point. We’ve covered it here many times. But this particular UN report has apparently been delayed for at least a year. So, baby steps.China had urged the UN not to release the report – with Beijing calling it a “farce” arranged by Western powers.The report assesses claims of abuse against Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities, which China denies.But investigators said they found “credible evidence” of torture possibly amounting to “crimes against humanity”…“Despite the Chinese government’s strenuous denials, the UN has now officially recognised...

I’ve been a naysayer on the notion that the Justice Department is trying to make a criminal case against former President Donald Trump based on the Mar-a-Lago raid, at least with respect to the offenses most often touted: mishandling classified documents and illegally retaining government records. But that has come with a significant caveat: If the evidence of obstruction of justice proved to be convincing, there’s a very good chance the government would indict.The court filing made by the Justice Department on Tuesday night, in response to Trump’s lawsuit seeking a special master to review materials seized by the FBI,...

For the second time in as many weeks, Democrats have won a competitive special election. And by the numbers, this win was even more impressive than last week’s victory in New York’s 19th District. On Wednesday, the Alaska Division of Elections announced that former state Rep. Mary Peltola had defeated former Gov. Sarah Palin in the special election for the state’s vacant U.S. House seat, becoming the first Alaska Native ever elected to Congress and the first Democrat to win a statewide election since 2008. [SNIP] Democrats have clearly overperformed in special elections since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional...

It’s been out of sight, out of mind for so long that most probably forgot about Carter Page’s lawsuit against DOJ and the various government officials who forged the FISA warrant targeting him. Unfortunately, on Thursday, Page received some devastating news about his quest for accountability.Judge Dabney L. Friedrich, who was appointed by Donald Trump, dismissed the lawsuit.Judge Friedrich has dismissed Carter PAGE's long-running lawsuit against DOJ, the FBI and many individuals involved in the FISA warrants used to surveil him.https://t.co/p1k92bYK05— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) September 1, 2022I’m no lawyer, so I’m not going to attempt to dissect why exactly what...

An experimental combination of two drugs halts the progression of small cell lung cancer, the deadliest form of lung cancer, according to a study. One of the drugs, cyclophosphamide, is an outdated chemotherapy drug once used to treat small cell lung cancer. Both kinds of drugs work at first but falter after a few months as the cancer develops resistance. Platinum-based drugs became the standard of care mainly because they cause lesser side effects, but they have not substantially improved prognosis. Today, the typical patient survives less than a year and a half after diagnosis. Researchers showed that small cell...

There’s an important update on the lawsuit that Missouri and Louisiana filed back in May against members of the Biden Administration, including Joe Biden, to expose the collusion between them and social media companies to censor speech on a variety of subjects–including things like the Hunter Biden laptop and COVID.“Big Tech has become an extension of Biden’s Big Government, and neither are protecting the freedoms of Americans; rather, they are suppressing truth and demonizing those who think differently,” said Attorney General Landry. “Ripped from the playbook of Stalin and his ilk, Biden has been colluding with Big Tech to censor...

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's chief of defence has warned that the West must not underestimate Moscow's military strength, saying Russia has the scope to open up a second front should it choose to do so."The bulk of the Russian land forces may be tied down in Ukraine at the moment but, even so, we should not underestimate the Russian land forces' potential to open a second theatre of war," General Eberhard Zorn, the highest-ranking soldier of the Bundeswehr, told Reuters in an interview.Beyond the army, Russia also has a navy and air force at its disposal, he added."Most of the...

A family from Mariupol spoke to RFE/RL about their experiences of going through a Russian filtration camp and then being taken to Moscow. The mother eventually got her children out via Belarus and Poland, while the husband chose to remain in Russia. A report released by Human Rights Watch on September 1 says the practice of forcibly relocating Ukrainian citizens to Russia is a war crime.

Keep our eye on the prize. The midterms are a referendum on on the DNC. Forget Joe’s "SCREECH". Remember the DNC has tried to redefined words like Recession, marriage, male and female, etc. This White House lies routinely.

A Russian billionaire of Armenian descent has decided to renounce his Russian citizenship and move to the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Ruben Vardanyan said he made the decision to move to Nagorno-Karabakh with an understanding of all the risks he may face. “This was a difficult but right decision," Vardanyan said in his video statement issued on September 1. Vardanyan stressed that after the 2020 Armenian-Azerbaijan war over Nagorno-Karabakh, which resulted in Baku regaining control over big chunks of the disputed region and seven adjacent districts, "many people in Artsakh (the Armenian name of Nagorno-Karabakh) started feeling that they have...

President Joe Biden (D) said the word “democracy” 31 times during a speech delivered Thursday evening in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Biden’s remarks touched on the “dangers” former President Donald Trump and his supporters posed to democracy, according to Breitbart News.

Disgraced former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on Thursday evening said Joe Biden didn’t go far enough threatening Trump supporters. Joe Biden on Thursday evening declared war on Trump supporters in a divisive primetime speech on the ‘battle for the soul of America’ from Philadelphia. Joe Biden called 75+ million Trump supporters “a clear and present danger to our democracy.” “MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution, they do not believe in the rule of law … They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence,” said Biden. “Too much of what’s happening in our country today...
