You would have thought by now that the persecution of the unvaccinated would finally end. After all, even people like Scott Adams are admitting that we – the “anti-vaxxers” – were right and all the experts were wrong. The COVID shots are dangerous, masks don’t work, social distancing increases the suicide rate, and lockdowns combined with government spending cause runaway inflation. But the persecution continues. If you’re unvaccinated at this point, you need to start being very careful about what you tell your doctor. The CDC under the Biden regime has finally updated its ICD-10-CM guidelines to include new codes...

Do not travel to Russia due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment and the singling out of U.S. citizens for detention by Russian government security officials, the arbitrary enforcement of local law, limited flights into and out of Russia, the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, and the possibility of terrorism. U.S. citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately. Exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions. The U.S. government’s ability to provide routine or emergency services to U.S. citizens...

The pilots of US Air Force F-35 fighters sent to intercept the mystery object over Alaska on Friday say that whatever it was had been “interfering with the sensors of their aircraft” before they shot it down. Three unidentified objects have been spotted over North America in the past 10 days. The first, a giant airship “the size of three buses” is understood to have originated in China although the US and Chinese governments disagree about its exact purpose. While the Pentagon says it was a spy balloon, China says the monster airship was a civilian craft designed to monitor...

"Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a recent counter-trend to many of these very blue states not only banning guns and gun rights, but doing so in a lighting fast fashion, which is State law enforcement speaking quite openly and publicly about their beliefs in the effectiveness, or lack thereof, in much of this gun control legislation. Well along comes the Arkansas Sheriffs' Association, who fortunately, does not have a tyrannical Governor like so many of the other states we have covered here on Washington Gun Law, but instead chose to tell the ATF what they think of the...

She was granted a deferred sentence, which means she won’t face prison time as long as she completes the terms...

Even in circumstances when there might appear to be little doubt about the individual's gender, stating preferred pronouns is a clear signal of contemporary virtue. Now God themself, it seems, is not to be found wanting in this regard. The Church of England is planning a review of "gendered language" in its texts and services, and among the proposals reportedly being considered is the removal of the words "Our Father" from the Lord's Prayer. Some members of the Anglican clergy are uncomfortably refering to God as he/him, particulary in prayers seeking forgiveness, and are seeking non-gendered alternatives. In reality, this...

I had a conversation not long ago with a young, uber-leftist family member about the morality of using ‘the n-word’ in any context. To be clear, we weren’t debating the morality of using the word to harm others. That’s really not debatable anyway. If you use that word, or any other racial slur, to purposefully denigrate another human being, I think we can all agree that’s morally repugnant, no matter where you get your morals. No, we were specifically discussing the mere utterance of the syllables themselves and whether there was a moral difference depending on the intent and context...

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...

Ironically Joe Biden, the media, and the old House majority have provided Republicans the same tools to discover the truth that the Left had once used to destroy it. For much of 2017 through 2021, Americans suffered the “bombshell” and “walls are closing” mythologies first of Russian collusion, then of supposedly vast Russian social media investments to sabotage the election. From there we moved on to the Alfa Bank ping-pong fable, the supposed Putin bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan that Trump was said to have ignored and, of course, the idea that Hunter’s laptop was just “Russian disinformation.” These...

A committee looking into historic child sex abuse in the Portuguese Catholic Church says 512 alleged victims have come forward, but a report by the expert panel warned that the true number is likely higher than 4,000 The final report includes a separate — and confidential — annex of all the names of church members reported to the committee that is being sent to the Portuguese Bishops Conference and to the police.
