House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is demanding that President Biden’s special climate envoy, John Kerry, turn over documents related to secret negotiations with the Chinese Communist Party that the Republican says “undermine the United States’ interests.” Comer informed the former secretary of state in a letter on Thursday that the House panel will investigate his role in the While House and his talks with Beijing, claiming that Kerry’s office has so far ignored requests for information. “In the 117th Congress, we requested information from you regarding your position as special presidential envoy for climate (SPEC) — a cabinet-level...

In another shocking video by Project Veritas, a top-ranking Pfizer employee can be seen on camera admitting that the company’s experimental COVID-19 vaccines have a “concerning” impact on women’s reproductive health. The video, released by the investigative organization Thursday evening, once again shows the man identified as Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer’s director of research and development for strategic operations and mRNA scientific planning, admitting what LifeSiteNews and others outlets have been reporting since 2021, namely that when it comes to the COVID-19 injections, “There is something irregular about the menstrual cycles.” “There is something irregular about the menstrual cycles.

The grotesque and apparently satanic pro-abortion statue exhibit infamously erected in New York City last month will reportedly be moved to the pro-life state of Texas this year. LifeSiteNews previously reported that the seven-foot bronze statue, depicting a nude woman with twisted cables for limbs and goat horns instead of hair, drew outrage after it was erected on top of the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court in New York. The work pays homage to pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and features a representation of the lace collar Ginsburg often wore. A second statue, nearly identical but...

Should you get ready to bundle up for more weeks or winter or be excited for an early spring? Georgia's famous groundhog General Beauregard "Beau" Lee has made his big weather forecast for 2023. Thursday morning, officials at the Dauset Trails Nature Center announced the groundhog did not see his shadow - meaning we're going to have an early spring.

Russia launched its attack on Ukraine in February 2022 with plans for a quick victory. Those plans depended in part on seizing Ukraine's nuclear power plants and using them for leverage.

I totally disagree with the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, in that the Police Officer “Thug,” who has had a very checkered past to begin with, was not just “doing his job” when he shot and killed Great Patriot Ashli Babbitt at point blank range. Despite trying to keep him anonymous, shielded, and protected, this MISFIT proudly showed up on NBC Fake Nightly News “bragging” about the killing. He was not a hero but a COWARD, who wanted to show how tough he was. ASHLI BABBITT WAS MURDERED!!!

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Thursday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that former President Donald Trump will be the Republican 2024 presidential nominee or he will “burn down” anyone who is. Referencing House Republicans voting for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to be removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee, Ocasio-Cortez said, “I think Speaker McCarthy gets a fundraising boom. I think he gets potentially currying favor with either Trump and his base, saying I delivered on these promises. I’m a good soldier to the Trumpian political base. I am really letting the world know that the House Republican Party is now...

Sgt. Eric Hanson of the Sackville detachment said the students, aged 10 and 11, consumed the cannabis candies after the girl brought them to Marshview Middle School.

Child vaccination rates dipped into dangerous territory during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, when schools were shuttered, and most doctors were only seeing emergency patients. But instead of recovering after schools reopened in 2021, those historically low rates worsened, according to new data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts fear that the skepticism of science and distrust of government that flared up during the pandemic are contributing to the decrease. According to today’s data, the percentage of U.S. children entering kindergarten with their required immunizations fell to 93% in the 2021-22 school year, 2...

Just when we start to think the pandemic may be ending, the CDC is tracking another new potentially dangerous coronavirus variant called Orthrus CH.1.1. It got its name from a variant tracker in Australia. Orthrus in Greek mythology was a two-headed cattle dog. It looks very unique. So, does this new CH 1.1 variant. As of this week, it's at just under two percent of cases in the United States. While it comes from Omicron, the concern is that it has a mutation seen in Delta and that was a potentially deadly and dangerous strain. "Delta seemed to be a...

Florida grew in population because Gov. Ron DeSantis kept the state open during the pandemic. That also means more people in the workforce. As of December 2022, Florida has more people in the workforce than New York. The Bureau Labor of Statistics (BLS) released the number in its December 2022 Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment report. Florida has 9.669 million compared to New York’s 9.661 million. Florida also has 500,000 more people working there than before the pandemic. The data coincides with a BLS report last month that showed Florida’s economy is growing the fastest in the nation for the...

WASHINGTON — President Biden welcomed former President Bill Clinton back to “Congress” Thursday — during an event that was actually at the White House. The 80-year-old Biden gushed, “I’m so happy to be able to welcome my president back to the United States Congress — back to the United States Capitol, and he’s promised me that I’ll be able to sit at my desk tomorrow.” The cringeworthy moment occurred in the White House East Room as Clinton, 76, celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act. ...

An attack on two schools in Sydney for teaching Christian morality has some broader lessons FOUR CORNERS LOGO / ABC Four Corners, a flagship program on Australia’s ABC, broadcast a scathing attack on two private schools in Sydney on Monday evening. Their crime: encouraging students to be chaste. For MercatorNet’s international readers, this will be just a storm in a teacup, but journalist Louise Milligan’s spin on the issue may contain some interesting lessons for them, too. If there is one person to blame for the 404 days that Cardinal George Pell spent in jail, it is Louise Milligan. She...

It would appear that Zelensky has lost favour with the west and is on the way out. His government is falling to pieces, numerous high-profile resignations are now frequent. It all started with the death of his internal affairs minister when the chopper carrying him with 9 others (presumed NATO) was shot down presumably by his own. The EU looks to be scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to ammunitions, all of the old stores have been bled dry. Apparently, the EU/Germany will not be handing over planes at this time. The German chancellor was recently reminded...
