President Biden lashed out at a federal appeals court on Wednesday, after it ruled the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was illegally implemented by the Obama administration. In a statement, the president called the decision "unlawful" and urged Congress to make permanent legislative protections to help more than 600,000 immigrants currently protected by DACA. On Wednesday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court’s three-judge panel determined the Obama administration lacked the authority to institute the DACA program. However, the court stopped short of judicially dismantling it and said DACA migrants could continue to receive legal protections.

About 3,000 of the approximately 18,000 Protestant pastors in Germany in the 1930s openly supported Adolf Hitler, and about the same number ended up opposing his tyrannical rule. But it was the vast majority of ministers, about 12,000, who chose to remain silent – arguing it wasn't their place to engage in politics – who enabled the Nazis to "crush the heroic 3,000" who stood up against the dictator, points out Eric Metaxas in his new book "Letter to the American Church." "That is the nightmare – that they thought it would be safe," Metaxas said in an interview with...

Prominent medical scientists and physicians have been warning for more than a year that the mRNA vaccines were ineffective and posed serious health risks. Now, a major German newspaper is reporting that doubts are increasing among virologists, epidemiologists and pharmacologists about whether the information provided by the manufacturers is correct. Die Welt reports the scientists are demanding an independent review of the studies that led to the approval of the BioNtech/Pfizer and Moderna shots. The primary data supporting the studies, they argue, have been kept under lock and key by the manufacturers. Last week, a top London cardiologist who was...

Stockholm: An inspection of two of the leaks at the Nord Stream gas pipelines linking Russia to Europe has reinforced suspicions that they were acts of sabotage, Swedish authorities said Thursday. "We can conclude that there have been detonations at Nord Stream 1 and 2 in the Swedish exclusive economic zone that has led to extensive damage to the gas pipelines," public prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist said in a statement Mr Ljungqvist added that the "crime scene investigation had strengthened the suspicions of aggravated sabotage." "Pieces of evidence have been gathered at the crime scene and these will now be examined,"...

GREEN BAY, WI — Psychologists and sex experts are flocking to Wisconsin to study a local man who claims to have a bizarre fetish for settling down with one woman in a committed, loving relationship in the bonds of marriage forever and ever. "Yeah, I don't know man, I just really love being married to my beautiful wife and I think I'll stay that way," said the disgusting weirdo. Already scientists are speculating as to what could cause such behavior in an adult human male. "I've seen some really sick stuff in my day, but this might take the cake,"...

“This is not the era for war but peace,” Indian PM Narendra Modi bluntly told Putin when the two were talking on the sidelines of the Samarkand meet of SCO. The US and the European members of NATO wondered how a close ally of Russia declining to sign the condemnation resolution against Russia on Ukraine could have the guts to tell Putin something that his generals and close advisers would not. Modi added that he had told him (Putin) the same thing many times in their telephonic conversation. This is not an ordinary statement as it reflects India’s sincere and...

“World government wants massive profits for the wind and solar sector. They want to take away a lot of our freedoms.” – Scientist Tom Harris Nothing is what it appears to be. That heatwave that hit Europe this past summer? Twenty years ago, it was just a heatwave. Now, you’d be led to believe that it’s all part of the climate emergency that mankind has brought upon itself. A recent World Climate Declaration, signed by 1,100 scientists, has made the rounds on social media, claiming that there is no climate emergency. But a 2019 Cornell University study found that 99.9...

London (AFP) – Accusing asylum seekers of "abusing the system" and urging the need to "take back control", the UK government is once again talking tough on immigration. But its latest pledge to reduce crossings from northern France in small boats comes with a blatant promise to defy international conventions. "It's not racist for anyone... to want to control our borders, it's not bigoted to say that we have too many asylum seekers who are abusing the system," said Home Secretary Suella Braverman. The stance earned Braverman, whose parents emigrated to Britain from Kenya and Mauritius in the 1960s, a...

Amid mounting questions over an FBI warning that prompted Facebook to suppress a story about Hunter Biden’s laptop, the federal agency now faces a lawsuit seeking to compel it to publicize conversations it had with the social media giant. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by America First Legal (AFL) at a Washington D.C. District Court. The non-profit group, founded by longtime Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller, said Americans deserve to know what the FBI and the social media giant were up to as the November elections approached. According to the complaint (pdf), the AFL requested in August that the FBI...

The title is a bit misleading, but like everything else I believe this is step #1 leading to a more nefarious database. In a move that has many folks scratching their heads, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has renewed its push for the People’s Garden Initiative which now includes registering vegetable gardens nationwide. According to the USDA, the move is to foster a “more diverse and resilient local food system to empower communities to address issues like nutrition access and climate change.” But those who have been following the USDA closely for years know that they couldn’t care less...

New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman said former President Trump “seems to be leaning into racist statements” after his most recent attack on Elaine Chao, his former transportation secretary. Haberman told CNN’s Don Lemon on Wednesday that Trump has been leaning into racist comments more “aggressively” since he left office, and she expects more of it to continue.
