The COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech was 100 percent effective in adolescents aged 12 to 15 in a phase 3 study, the companies announced. "The initial results we have seen in the adolescent studies suggest that children are particularly well protected by vaccination, which is very encouraging given the trends we have seen in recent weeks regarding the spread of the B.1.1.7 UK variant," BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin said.

The New York Times is signaling that they’re not wild about Joe Biden running for president again. Suddenly, they announced his statements are routinely un-factual. He's a habitual liar. Why is this discovery emerging now? The online headline of their October 11 story was: “Biden, Storyteller in Chief, Spins Yarns That Often Unravel: President Biden has been unable to break himself of the habit of embellishing narratives to weave a political identity.” Times reporters Michael Shear and Linda Qiu began with Biden telling survivors of Hurricane Ian that he and Jill lost most of a house to a lightning strike....

Rising inflation is the top election issue for over 8 out of 10 voters, with most blaming President Joe Biden’s policies for making the economy worse in less than two years on the job. In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 84% said that rising prices would be important in their vote, easily making it the top issue. That includes 77% of Democrats who said it was an important issue. The survey was released on the heels of new indications that prices are continuing to rise higher and faster than the White House predicted, undermining claims by Biden and his top...

DC Comics has announced it will axe a recent book series that was centered on a bisexual Superman. Superman: Son of Kal-El is based around Jonathan Kent - son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane - and was launched by DC Comics last year. Now amid poor sales the comic book publisher announced at New York Comic Con that its 18th issue - due to release in December - will be its last.

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.”Some religious leaders get their kicks from burdening people, laying the law on them heavily, making demands that are terrible, exulting in their own moral superiority. At the core of Jesus’ program is a willingness to bear other people’s burdens, to help them carry their loads. And this applies to the moral life as well. If we lay the burden of God’s law on people, we must be...

One of Israel’s top vaccine advisers has revealed he and his colleagues were “surprised and disappointed” by one element of the jab rollout. Israel, with a population of just 9.4 million, led the world in vaccination against Covid-19 early, starting its rollout in December 2020. In April 2021, Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla said early trial data showed its vaccine “was 100 per cent effective against severe Covid-19”. “Did you expect the vaccines to be better at preventing transmission than they were?” host Freddie Sayers asked Prof Cohen. “Yes … especially based on what we had seen in March, in...

Russian Collusion Hoaxers and Proponents Should be Very Afraid. Why? The Judicial Dogs of war by the US Government against the American People have been turned loose. The US House along with the Department of Justice IS holding over 50 US Citizens captive since the January 6th 2021 "insurrection". Many of these have been beaten and denied judicial representation. Calls from the US house for the Elimination (murder) of MAGA proponents has gone out without censure from the speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi. The DOJ/FBI is raiding US citizens homes of those co-operating with them armed to the teeth...

Food prices surged in September, propelling the producer price inflation gauge higher than expected. The Department of Labor said on Wednesday that its producer price index rose 0.4 percent compared with the prior month, twice what economists had expected. A big part of the gain stemmed from a rapid rise in food prices. Consumer food prices rose a seasonally adjusted 1.1 percent compared with the prior month. Compared with a year ago, consumer food prices are up 12.1 percent. Here are some of the biggest price jumps. Fresh and dried vegetables: up 15.7 percent for the month and 40.2 percent...

Disneyland ticket prices continue their year-to-year increase as they rose by an average of 8 percent on Tuesday. One-day tickets now range from $104 to $179, depending on the day, with the one-day $65 'Park Hopper' ticket add-on making the most expensive ticket $244.

"He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful." "But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty." "And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief." Matthew, Chapter 13 1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 2 And great multitudes were...

A new music video for a Chinese historical drama, "Love Like the Galaxy." One of the best dramas I've seen this year. Nothing quite like country and western for a good historical.

“Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your son lives.’ The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off. As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living. So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, ‘Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.’ So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, ‘Your son lives’; and he himself believed and his whole household. This is again a second sign that Jesus performed...

This week I wrote a column on a notable shift by political and media figures on the Hunter Biden scandal toward a last line of defense: the addiction defense. This shift is most obvious with President Joe Biden who spent years insisting that his son “did nothing wrong,” even bizarrely claiming that “no one has suggested that my son did anything wrong.” That defense was picked up by the White House. Then it changed as prosecutors reportedly moved closer to criminal charges and the President no longer denied that his son did anything wrong but rather that he was an...

Please pray for my father who is in the Emergency Room suffering with Covid-19. Sadk6 it looks we are going to have to put him in hospice.

“It’s going to bring a billion, a trillion, 750 million dollars, billion dollars, off the sidelines” In a car crash interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper Tuesday, Biden stammered and stuttered, often speaking absolute gibberish, and dropped the cheat cards his handlers had given him while declaring that there is no recession in the U.S. It all started to go wrong for Biden after Tapper had asked about Hunter Biden facing criminal prosecution. Then this happened: VIDEO AT LINK................ How can Biden read those cards when he can’t even hold them? And he keeps calling it ‘the Inflation Act’. Biden then...

At the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Journal found that 'more than 200 senior officials… or nearly one in three, reported that they or their family members held investments in companies that were lobbying the agency. Some Americans still believe the federal government is working in the public’s best interest. If anything can disabuse these naive holdouts of this notion, it will be the bombshell Wall Street Journal investigation that just dropped—revealing runaway corruption among the federal bureaucracy. The Journal reviewed more than 31,000 financial disclosure forms and analyzed more than 850,000 financial assets and 315,000 trades to shed light...

A Minnesota man pleaded guilty Tuesday to filing fraudulent insurance claims for a staged arson he attempted to portray as a politically-motivated attack. Federal officials said Denis Molla, 30, of Brooklyn Center, falsely reported to law enforcement in September 2020 that someone had lit his camper on fire and that three unknown males were near his home when he heard an explosion. Molla told officials his garage door was vandalized with a spray-painted Antifa symbol and words stating "Biden 2020" and "BLM." He claimed his camper was targeted because it had a Trump 2020 flag displayed on it. Police discovered...

In 2021, the duplicitous FBI offered Christopher Steele $1 million to verify the unfounded claims made against Donald J. Trump in the crazy “Pee-Pee” dossier. This is understandable because the dossier was so absurd that someone needed to be paid off with a lot of money to verify it was true while maintaining a straight face. Also, that is a problem because the FBI had already sworn the crazy dossier was true in 2016. The job of the agency is supposed to be to validate what they swore to as true. This story is proof that the whole Russia hoax...
