Garlic might not just be good for keeping vampires away, but also COVID-19 and the common flu, according to new research being released on Wednesday by The Peter Doherty Institute. Scientists at Doherty have been researching garlic properties over the past 18 months and have discovered a certain Australian grown garlic variety demonstrates antiviral properties with up to 99.9 per cent efficacy against the viruses which cause COVID-19 and the common flu. The world-first research, commissioned by the Australian Garlic Producers organisation, involved in-vitro testing against the SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza type A viruses, using garlic ingredients extracted from exclusive Australian...

The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said on Tuesday that a Chinese fighter performed an unprofessional maneuver against a U.S. military plane in the South China Sea on Friday. Image courtesy Indo-Pacific Command May 31 (UPI) -- The Pentagon said Tuesday that a Chinese J-16 fighter pilot performed "an unnecessarily aggressive maneuver" against a U.S. Air Force plane operating in the South China Sea last week. The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command stated that an Air ForceRC-135 operating in international waters on Friday was intercepted by a Chinese fighter. "The PRC pilot flew directly in front of the nose of the RC-135, forcing the...

This week, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and President Joe Biden cut a deal to raise the debt limit. The breakthrough came after three months of Biden pledging not to even negotiate over the debt limit. Instead, Biden was forced to concede to a 1% cap on increases for non-military spending, a cutback on IRS funding, a clawback of some unspent COVID-19 allocations, and addition of work requirements for some federal aid. The compromise deal was indeed far less than House Republicans had demanded, as Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., tweeted, "After factoring in a small cut to discretionary...

With the help of modern technology, it’s not actually difficult to tell what heavenly bodies one might be seeing in the sky. >>> So there’s really no excuse to let loose with wild theories... >>> It is important to note that, as amazing as the Sumerians were, they did not have telescopes like we do. We do not know which heavenly body the Sumerians identified as “Nibiru”, but we do know it’s not the moon, the sun or any other large, easily identifiable objects in the sky. If any rogue planet (which may actually exist out there) were near enough...

The President and many members of Congress want to keep borrowing money and don’t seem to care about whether their expenditures are essential or non-essential, nor do they seem to care about the very real and perilous ramifications of overspending. From 2012–2022, interest payments on debt held by the public totaled $3,593 billion; interest payments on intragovernmental debt holdings totaled $1,919 billion. The grand total in interest payments amounted to a hefty $5,512 billion. Who is benefitting from owning our debt? The top foreign owners of U.S. National Debt are Japan, China, UK, Belgium and Luxembourg. Other holders of our...

Let's take a look at the "Fair Tax" and see how fair it really is. Yes, it would tax health care and health insurance. Why would people think United Health Care, Aetna, other very profitable companies would not only not pay income taxes or payroll taxes, but would also be somehow exempt from the fair tax as well? Almost everything would be taxed, or else they wouldn't collect the money the federal government supposedly need. The Fair Tax Act would impose a 30 percent national sales taxBeginning in 2025, H.R. 25 would impose $30 in tax on each $100 purchase.**...

This article is ESSENTIAL reading if you want to understand what is going on with the transgender movement. It is definitely NOT "organic" or "grass roots"; rather, it is a globalist PLOT-- yes, I said plot-- but it's not a "conspiracy theory" because it is all out in the open if you know where to look.

(Daily readings from the USCCB)Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Luke 1:39–42The beautiful feast we celebrate today depicts two miraculous pregnancies. One came about by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. The other was the miraculous conception in the womb...

NEW YORK — If rising oceans aren't worry enough, add this to the risks New York City faces: The metropolis is slowly sinking under the weight of its skyscrapers, homes, asphalt and humanity itself. New research estimates the city's landmass is sinking at an average rate of 1 to 2 millimeters per year, something referred to as "subsidence." That natural process happens everywhere as ground is compressed, but the study published recently in the journal Earth's Future sought to estimate how the massive weight of the city itself is hurrying things along. More than 1 million buildings are spread across...

"If we are going to save our country, Republicans need to get a lot worse at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Passing the FRA would be a good start and set the stage for additional victories to come."

Seattle Firefighters looking to advance in their careers to become fire lieutenants are being required to learn curriculum from social justice activists and books that espouse woke ideology. The Seattle Department of Human Resources (SDHR) fire lieutenant test features books from several prominent progressive authors, such as critical race theory (CRT) author Ibram X. Kendi. The required reading tested on by the SDHR to become a fire lieutenant includes controversial woke books, including the entirety of Kendi’s "How to be an Antiracist" as well as its introduction and acknowledgments, according to a Washington Free Beacon report. Prospective fire lieutenants are...

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tamped down Republican opposition ahead of Wednesday’s vote on the debt ceiling bill. Ahead of the pivotal decision on the deal struck by McCarthy and President Joe Biden, the House Republican Conference met to discuss members’ issues with the legislation, otherwise known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act. Some but not all members of the House Freedom Caucus have vented about how the bill does not do enough to tackle America’s deficit problem.

Wearing a shirt reading “no more dead trans kids,” a transgender activist glued themselves to the floor at Oxford University Tuesday during a speech that called for men to be prohibited from women’s bathrooms, according to the Guardian. Dr. Kathleen Stock, a British philosopher who speaks out against the transgender movement, spoke at Oxford University stating that it is not “fair” to women when biological men use their restrooms because it brings threats of violence, according to the Guardian. Nearly 100 trans activists protested ahead of the speech holding signs that read “our existence is not a debate”, “take stock...

Put an End to the Madness!Pope Francis has to stop the madness, and until he steps in to do so the Church will continue to fracture and unravel, spiraling completely out of control.Unlike everyone else who witnessed the Holy Father taking a phone call in the middle of a General Audience in St. Peter’s Square the other day, I was not the least bit surprised. And why should I be, since I was the one who made the call? No sooner had I dialed the number than I was put immediately through to the pope, who seemed quite delighted to...

Here's an absolutely wild story out of the state of Alabama. In 1997, a headless body was discovered in the woods of Marshall County, Alabama along the Little Cotaco Creek near Union Springs. The headless man appeared to have been decapitated with a saw, as well as having his hands and feet removed as well, making him impossible to identify at the time. In addition, the man's heart and spleen were also removed with "surgical precision" according to authorities. But now, 26 years later, the man has been identified as Jefferey Douglas Kimzy of Santa Barbara, California. Now the question...

Former President Donald Trump leads the crowded Republican primary field by 34 points over his closest potential competitor, according to a Morning Consult poll that surveyed Republican voters after Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) presidential bid on May 24.The poll, which sampled respondents from May 26-28, found little movement for DeSantis after he launched a presidential bid last week. It also showed Trump maintaining a large lead over GOP hopefuls.-- snip --In other words, that means DeSantis’s announcement–which face serious technical issues on his Twitter Spaces move with Elon Musk–does not seem to have changed the trajectory of the race at...

The thesis of the documentary is that Covid19 was a planned epidemic to give cover for the release of a new 'vaccine template' that is actually a bioweapon whose purpose is the extinction of the human race and the creation of a transhuman species. It posits the idea that the vaccines are operating systems made of nanoparticles. I found the documentary like 'Died Suddenly' well made but lacking in proof. He also makes an appeal to religion's ongoing conflicts with 'science' and introduces these concepts as a backdrop to conflicts as old as Baal worship... in others words... it's the...

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH Far and away the most common question I get from those who took one of the COVID-19 vaccines is: “how do I get this out of my body.” The mRNA and adenoviral DNA products were rolled out with no idea on how or when the body would ever breakdown the genetic code. The synthetic mRNA carried on lipid nanoparticles appears to be resistant to breakdown by human ribonucleases by design so the product would be long-lasting and produce the protein product of interest for a considerable time period. This would be an advantage for...
