#ITEM #2 The WHO has officially published the latest version of the “Bureau’s Text” of the “Framework Convention.” (I refuse to call it an “accord” or “treaty.”) PLEASE FORGET EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD ABOUT THIS PROPOSED AGREEMENT - EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT PREVIOUS VERSIONS IS NOW OUT OF DATE AND LIKELY TO BE INACCURATE. https://apps.who.int/gb/inb/e/e_inb-5-resumed-session.html https://apps.who.int/gb/inb/pdf_files/inb5/A_INB5_6-en.pdf I have previously written a number of articles about the unedited draft version of the “Bureau’s Text” which are summarized in the video below…

EXCLUSIVE: The Biden administration is getting slammed as handing a "major coup" to Chinese President Xi Jinping after two senior officials made a trip to China on Sunday in an attempt to ease tensions between the two countries. Critics immediately pointed out that Sunday, June 4, marks the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, when the Chinese military slaughtered hundreds, possibly thousands, of pro-democracy protesters. Daniel Kritenbrink, the assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, and Sarah Beran, the National Security Council's senior director for China and Taiwan affairs, arrived in Beijing to discuss "key issues...

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has signed off on a bombshell 11th-hour report claiming that Penn Station and Madison Square Garden are no longer compatible together.

When Carl Kosak returned from work to his home in Greensburg’s Academy Hill neighborhood, he got something to eat and then headed down to the basement. That’s where he assumed his second identity — one long hidden from co-workers, neighbors and friends — as acclaimed mystery writer K.C. Constantine. “My father had a desk at the bottom of the basement stairs, and that’s where he wrote,” said Kosak’s only son, Chris Kosak of Moraga, Calif. “He wrote every single day — some days maybe that was only one sentence — but he put himself in that chair at that desk...

A Navy SEAL who detransitioned is now warning parents about getting their children gender-affirming surgery saying they aren't being given complete information before deciding on the radical procedure. Chris Beck, a retired member of SEAL Team Six who came out as transgender in 2013, argued parents are in the dark when children express gender dysphoria. He cited studies that showed that 80 percent of children who express gender dysphoria no longer feel that way once they finish puberty. Other studies found that more than half of the parents who were referred to gender therapists said they felt directed to put...

I’m going to go into the deep weeds on this story, because many people are missing a key facet. The names behind the Trump targeting operation are included, along with citations for independent checks by House congressional investigators. Inside the recently released report by John Durham [CITATION], the special counsel outlines how former FBI Director James Comey was intimately involved in the creation of the Carter Page FISA application. Durham notes that Comey kept asking the DOJ National Security Division and FBI counterintelligence investigators, “Where’s the FISA, we need the FISA.” However, Durham never interviewed Comey or McCabe.The former FBI...

Former President Donald Trump lashing out at his ex-press secretary Kayleigh McEnany came as no surprise to her predecessor Stephanie Grisham. Grisham, who served as White House press secretary in 2019, told CNN’s Jim Acosta that Trump’s Truth Social rant dubbing her successor “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ [sic] McEnany” was par for the course. “This is what he does,” Grisham said Saturday. “He uses you until there is no use for you anymore, or until you dare to say something that could possibly be construed against him.”

IN the span of two weeks, nearly 30 children have vanished in Cleveland, sparking huge concern from a local police chief who said he hasn't seen anything like this in his 33-year career. As many as 27 children have been reported missing in the greater Cleveland area, according to Newburgh Heights police chief John Majoy. He called the number of missing children, whose ages range from 12 to 17, unprecedented when speaking to reporters. "There's always peaks and valleys with missing persons, but this year it seems like an extraordinary year," he told Fox News Digital. "For some reason, in...

Hong Kongers living overseas are helping to keep the flame of remembrance alive for the victims of China’s Tiananmen massacre as authorities in a city that once hosted huge annual vigils continue to stamp out dissent. Until recently Hong Kong was the only place within China where large-scale gatherings each June 4 were tolerated to remember the moment in 1989 when the Communist Party sent tanks in to violently quell peaceful student-led democracy protests in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. But the annual candlelight vigils have been silenced the last three years in the wake of pandemic restrictions and Beijing’s ongoing political...

Some of you know me and most don't. I have been writing songs since I was a turd, ( i have library of congress cred, and get royalty pay) although I have been a pipefitter for over 30 years and these days i have settled into carpentry. I have met some amazing people in my travels. I played in bars when I was 16. I am a multi-instrumentalist, just mostly strings. Country, blues, rock. Anyways, I found this dude Tom McDonald recently. I have never been into rap, but his lyrics are astute. I hope you listen and give him...

Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday stopped by two Manhattan migrant sites — the former iconic Roosevelt Hotel and Times’ Square’s landmark Candler Tower — to meet with asylum-seekers and get quick tours. Adams ducked into the Roosevelt in Midtown at 11 a.m., was given a general walk-through of the 1,000-room facility and greeted some migrants along the way during his roughly 45-minute pit stop, sources told The Post.

Not to worry folks; it'll still be found in a Quad.

Dear Jane, I am the mother of a bright, beautiful, friendly 15-year-old who I love very much. But in recent years, a pit of jealousy has started growing over just how talented and popular my daughter has become. I have spent much of my life feeling little more than average. I’m not ugly – but I’m not pretty. I’m not dumb – but I’m not what you would consider intelligent. I have some good friends – but popular is never a word someone would use to describe me. My daughter, on the other hand, is spectacular. She has an enormous...

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown...

Hospitalization risk exists as only 20% of US adults receive booster dose: ‘Uptake has been quite low’Adults who aren’t current on their COVID-19 vaccine booster doses may have "relatively little remaining protection" against hospitalization compared to those who haven’t been vaccinated at all, suggests a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). SNIP Dr. Shana Johnson, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician in Scottsdale, Arizona, was not involved in the CDC study but reviewed its findings. The good news, Johnson said, is that the bivalent mRNA vaccine protects against the most severe COVID-19 outcomes, including hospitalization...

Former high school track and field athlete Chelsea Mitchell and her attorney Christiana Kiefer joined ‘Varney & Co.’ to discuss her ongoing lawsuit against the state of Connecticut over its transgender policy. The former high school track and field athlete said her experience competing with trans women was 'frustrating and disheartening. "All four years of my high school experience, I raced against these two biological males who ended up taking four state championships, two honorary awards, and countless other opportunities for myself to advance. And it's not fair to force people to participate against biological males, and so that's why...

President Joe Biden has long been an advocate for strict restrictions on guns, so his son makes something of an unlikely advocate for expanded gun rights. But Hunter Biden may soon find himself on the opposite side of his father's gun control crusade in at least one aspect. The younger Biden is reportedly considering a challenge to a federal law that bans illegal drug users from owning guns. The issue hits close to home for Hunter: The Department of Justice is investigating a gun purchase he made in 2018. This is a time period during which he has admitted to...

Vladimir Putin’s troops “may not hold on to Bakhmut,” a military analyst has said. Michael Kofman of the Center for Naval Analyses, a US research group, said Russian forces will “find it difficult to defend” Bakhmut now Wagner mercenary fighters are withdrawing from the city. “And so they may not hold on to Bakhmut, and the whole thing may have ended up being for nothing for them down the line,” he told the War on the Rocks podcast in an interview on Tuesday. Russian forces declared victory in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut last month after a nine-month battle...
