Josh Stirling, a top insurance analyst, found a 7% increase in aggregate mortality for each C-19 dose. This is mathematics and doesn’t take in all the variables that took place during the pandemic, including the vaccine. The lockdowns and the illness itself caused poor health care, depression, and suicides. It doesn’t look at illnesses or the age of the people who died. So, one has to be careful with this. However, he correlated it to actual doses. He used CDC data in the US and compared this year to last year. If the vaccines were neutral or helpful, you would...

The National Security Agency (NSA), the secretive domestic spying arm of the federal government, is reportedly looking to hire thousands of laid-off Big Tech workers to expand its intelligence activities. In its biggest hiring spree in 30 years, the NSA began reaching out to Big Tech workers on LinkedIn last fall, running on predictions that mass layoffs would soon come to Silicon Valley. From The Washington Times: The National Security Agency is doggedly courting laid-off Big Tech workers as the spy agency undertakes one of its largest hiring surges in the last 30 years. The NSA began privately reaching out...

The NIAID has yet to fill the vacancy left by outgoing director COVID-19 warlord Anthony Fauci. Peter Hotez, a self-confessed “junk foodaholic” with a firm vax-them-all-to-hell worldview appears to be in the running. [excerpt] Aside from his aesthetic failures, the real reason Hotez should not be in charge of anything Public Health™ is due to the fact that he’s never seen a health issue he didn’t want to vaccinate into remission. It’s the classic when-all-you-have-is-a-hammer dilemma. Monkeypox? Hotez thinks vaxxing is the only answer, rather than the markedly simpler and more cost-effective alternative of encouraging homosexual men to be responsible...

Many people still sneer at Justin Trudeau for his silly costumes; soft-spoken, even boyish, demeanor; and overt love for all leftist tropes, whether racial, sexual, religious, or anything else. Those people are fools. Trudeau is a dangerous man who is rapidly creating a totalitarian government that grants rights only to those who march in lockstep with Trudeau’s leftist political and social beliefs. It’s been obvious since Pierre Trudeau that Canada, once a solidly conservative country in an old-fashioned mode (patriotism, family, faith), has taken a left turn. Those polite Canadians happily yielded to the radical harpies on the left, giving...

Many people who choose to live with a dog realize that the animal needs its own time alone and its own space to relax in, just as they do. In fact, one of the hottest, new trends in dog care is "The Dog Room."

The results of a new poll may favor former President Donald Trump in a rematch with President Joe Biden for 2024, but respondents’ opinion on the prospect of such a contest left the frontrunner calling out “corrupt, wrong, or incompetent” pollsters. With more than a week remaining before former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley officially announces her candidacy, Trump has remained the only player in the field for the Republicans for nearly three months. Should Biden run for reelection as many expect, the likelihood is strong they would face off once more and, according to an ABC News/Washington...

We're all living inside a CIA pharmaceutical war game to topple our republic. ... “The pandemic is over,” the despot Joe Biden announced in a 60 Minutes interview back in September 2022 — with his fellow Wuhan Lab enthusiast and Deep State tool Scott Pelley nodding in agreement. That announcement (like everything else that has come out of Biden’s mouth) was strictly for the suckers of course. It’s February, and every single Democrat in the House voted to keep the COVID emergency going in 2023 — masks, lockdowns, vaccine mandates — on January 31st. What’s going on? ... What’s happening...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

The origins of Comet 96P/Machholz (96P) have puzzled scientists for decades since its discovery. It is a four-mile-wide “sungrazer” object with a host of weird properties that suggest it may be an interloper from another star system. For instance, 96P’s composition is extremely unique and its orbit is highly tilted, causing it to pass closer to the Sun than almost any other comet. These features, among others, suggest that 96P may have been rerouted into our solar system by a chance encounter with Jupiter after its voyage across interstellar space. In an ironic twist, however, the comet's interactions with Jupiter...

New York City’s black population has dropped 9% since 2000, with the exodus apparently accelerating after the eight disastrous de Blasio years. Advocates and officials wonder why, but there’s nothing unique about it: Black Americans mainly want the same things all Americans want. The decline has been steepest among young black New Yorkers: The city’s number of black children and teens cratered by a fifth from 2010 to 2020. That means families are heading out — and many heading south. Partly, it’s the city’s insane housing market, which is brutal on growing families. All the rent laws benefit the “haves”:...

close Nevada Director of Agriculture J.J. Goicoechea warns Americans to prepare to pay more for groceries A Nevada rancher has warned Americans that the price of groceries – including beef – is likely to continue to rise, citing inflation and a lower supply of cattle. J.J. Goicoechea, who also serves as the new director of the Nevada Department of Agriculture, told Fox News Digital that high costs for energy, feed and fertilizer, along with a decreased supply of beef, will continue to drive beef prices higher in the coming years.

The Chinese Defense Ministry loudly protested America’s decision to shoot down a Chinese alleged espionage aircraft over the waters of South Carolina, claiming that taking action to stop the breach of U.S. airspace after the balloon had crossed the entire continental United States and Alaska was an “obvious overreaction.” The Chinese Defense Ministry suggested it could take reciprocal action against American civilian aircraft, without elaborating. News began rapidly spreading across social media on Friday of a bizarre, round flying object appearing over the skies of Montana, forcing the administration of leftist President Joe Biden, who has a long history of...

Operations at Ceyhan, a major oil export terminal on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, have been suspended as a precaution. Ceyhan receives crude from two major cross-border pipelines — the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline carries oil from fields offshore Azerbaijan across Georgia to Turkey's Mediterranean coast, while the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline transports oil from northern Iraq. A spokesman for northern Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government said operations at Ceyhan will resume once an inspection has been finalised. Turkish pipeline operator Botas said neither pipeline has been damaged. The Ceyhan terminal exported just over 1mn b/d of crude in January, according to Vortexa. This included around...

The Sask. weather balloon survived more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition back in 1998China isn't the only country to face questions about a curious balloon. Back in 1998, a 25-storey high runaway weather balloon proved to be an international headache for Canada. The helium-filled balloon — about five football fields long when deflated— was launched out of Vanscoy, Sask. on Aug. 24 with an innocent-enough task: measure ozone levels. But according to reports at the time, the instruments on the balloon failed to detach at the end of the test. The backup system also failed — sending the balloon aloft....

VIDEOJudging from the accent of the speaker I am pretty sure this weird clothes free event happened in the USA. As to the reason for this insanity I have no idea except that I am sure it is definitely NOT a group of MAGA people. If you know the story behind this please post it in the comments. Oh, and who had the task of painting these weirdos? All I know is this illustrates why wearing clothing in public should be mandatory, especially including those out of shape.

Looking cool is just the tip of the iceberg for Mikaela Shiffrin, Travis Ganong and the rest of the U.S. ski team when they debut new race suits at the world championships. Even more, they want everyone thinking about climate change. The team’s predominantly blue-and-white suits depict an image of ice chunks floating in the ocean. It's a concept based on a satellite photo of icebergs breaking due to high temperatures. The suit was designed in collaboration with Kappa, the team’s technical apparel sponsor, and the nonprofit organization Protect Our Winters (POW). The Americans will wear the suits throughout the...
