An interesting podcast segment between Joe Rogan and Patrick Bet-David is below.For thirteen years, CTH has been assembling the data showing how everything that is swirling around the world of cultural and political events can be encapsulated with the term “the economics of the thing.” That quote is not about the applied exchanges of commerce or production, but rather another way to look at the old adage, “follow the money” and “he who controls the money.” The difference between the two statements is found with massive financial institutions purchasing the biggest shares of companies.“The economics of the thing,” drives a...

[In] a new paper, researchers discuss head and neck tumors, which are among the most common malignancies. In this anatomical region, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant entity. However, there are also other malignant tumors that, unlike SCC, originate in the salivary glands of the head and neck region, such as mucoepidermoid carcinoma or adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). In general, tumors originating from the minor salivary glands often show a higher degree of malignancy than tumors of the major salivary glands (parotid gland, submandibular gland, sublingual gland). Consequently, the ACC in particular is often localized in the...

Following the rollout of the Covid-19 “vaccines,” there was a hardcore push by people in authority to get as many men, women, and children jabbed as many times as possible. Politicians and bureaucrats made threats and restricted those who refused. Journalists gaslit us. Celebrities ridiculed us. It has only been in the last few months that the pressure campaign has let up a bit, but it’s still there in the background. While most Americans have a healthy distrust for politicians, corporate media, and Hollywood stars, a strong majority of people got jabbed anyway for one huge reason: Most doctors were...

Professor Danny Eckert says his research team has examined shortcomings in some people's response to the popular continuous positive airway pressure machine (CPAP) and found that adding combinations of therapies gets impressive results in those who are unable to tolerate CPAP. Oral appliance therapy (OAT) is an effective treatment for many people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) but does not fully control OSA in about 50% of cases. This study aimed to control OSA in individuals who have an incomplete response to using only OAT, with the solution being to use additional targeted therapies informed by each individual's specific causes...

The Weather Channel is promoting the open-ended claim migrants should be allowed to enter the United States if their homelands are damaged by “extreme weather” — and President Joe Biden is eager to say yes. “Is it the responsibility of the United States to protect migrants who might be fleeing extreme weather in their countries?” meteorologist Stephanie Abrams asked Biden during a very rare and softball interview beside the Grand Canyon. Biden replied in the August 9 broadcast: Look, I think the United States should do everything it can to help people who are in desperate need and have no...

VIDEORupert Murdoch has been attempting to manipulate the American political system AWAY from President Donald Trump ever since he chose Chris Stirewalt to report from the Fox News election desk on Election Night 2020. That's when Stirewalt chose to ignore calling Florida for Trump for hours despite an early overwhelming lead in that state yet bizarrely called Arizona for Biden just minutes after the polls closed there. Ever since then, Murdoch has been pulling down the Fox News ratings by continually slamming Trump and now promoting other candidates, most notably Ron DeSantis. As you can see in this Fox News...

The political persecution of President Trump is just the beginning, the fascist far left wants to go after anyone who speaks out against them. The political persecution of President Trump is just the beginning; the fascist far left wants to go after anyone who speaks out against them. For years, President Trump has said “They are after you, I’m just in the way” and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) recently confirmed that by saying the quiet part out loud. On an MSNBC segment, Crockett said that Republicans defending Trump: …are really getting dangerously close, in my opinion, to criminal culpability in...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemJohn 4The Disciples Rejoin Jesus 27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?” 28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him. 31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.” 32 But...

Scientist admits the ‘overwhelming consensus’ on the climate change crisis is ‘manufactured’ We are told climate change is a crisis, and that there is an “overwhelming scientific consensus.” “It’s a manufactured consensus,” climate scientist Judith Curry tells me. She says scientists have an incentive to exaggerate risk to pursue “fame and fortune.” She knows about that because she once spread alarm about climate change. The media loved her when she published a study that seemed to show a dramatic increase in hurricane intensity. “We found that the percent of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes had doubled,” says Curry. “This was...

What is it with the Left that they want to ban nearly everything that is fun or convenient? Gas stoves, dishwashers, plastic straws, gas cars, snowmobiles and diving boards. And now the health busybodies want to ban certain cigars. Recently, a gang of senators led by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) wrote a letter to Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf urging the agency to ban (or heavily regulate) flavored cigar sales. Under pressure from the health lobby, the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products said it’s primed to take action in the weeks ahead. They say underage teenagers are smoking...

New testimony linking President Joe Biden to a “pay to play” bribery scheme raises the question of how history will assess his tenure in office.Admittedly, it is risky to compare the performance of modern presidents against their predecessors. Because it is hard to place current events in historical context, snap judgments can prove embarrassing later.For example, during the presidency of George W. Bush (served 2001-2009), some commentators ranked him as the worst American chief executive in history. In hindsight, however, that assessment seems absurd, even to liberal academics. The 2021 C-SPAN Presidential Historians Survey ranked him 29th of 44.More recently,...

Only a week after taking office, Biden rushed to repeal the ‘Mexico City Policy’ which banned foreign aid from going to abortion groups, stating that this would “support women’s and girls’ sexual and reproductive health”.The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) celebrated the resumption of cash. IPPF had lost an estimated $100 million due to the foreign abortion group funding ban and complained that, “53 healthcare projects in 32 countries were impacted… with some Member Associations losing up to 60% of their funding.”It is unknown whether that included Pro Familia: Germany’s IPPF affiliate. In 2020, the State Department had cited Pro...

"If I give all my possessions to feed the poor . . . but do not have love, it profits me nothing" (1 Cor. 13:3). Love is characterized by self-sacrifice, but not all self-sacrifice is an act of love. If you've ever donated to your church or another charitable organization out of obligation, peer pressure, legalism, guilt, a desire for recognition, or simply a tax deduction, you know what it means to give without love. In our society it's easy to fall prey to that kind of giving because the needs are so great and fund raisers appeal to every...

Does our heavenly Father favor certain individuals among his children? Doesn’t the Bible say God is no respecter of persons? When it comes to salvation and his wonderful promises, God treats us all alike, but he also puts his special favor on those who respond wholeheartedly to his calling and yield their lives to him entirely! Job said, “You have granted me life and favor, and your care has preserved my spirit” (Job 10:12, NKJV). David said, “For you, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor you will surround him as with a shield” (Psalm 5:12). Our heavenly Father...

Time and time again throughout 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci, stood at the podium, the bright lights of the cameras blinding him as he faced the nation. With a steady hand, he held up a vial of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, promising it would be the key to protecting America and its children from the “deadly” Covid-19 disease supposedly ravaging the country. But little did the public know, the truth about the Covid vaccine’s safety had been buried deep within Fauci’s own lies and deceit and confidential U.S. Government and Pfizer documents. Fauci used propaganda, lies and manipulation to coerce parents...

The Department of Justice is shelling out more than $6 billion to private companies to manage its asset forfeiture investigations, raising alarm from one nonprofit law firm that accuses police of "treating ordinary Americans like ATMs" and seizing their cash. "You've probably heard the adage, 'you've gotta spend money to make money.' Here, it's 'you've gotta spend money to take money,'" said Dan Alban, head of the Institute for Justice's National Initiative to End Forfeiture.

Seniors face more than $50 billion in unpaid medical bills, many of which they shouldn’t have to pay, according to a federal watchdog report. In an all-too-common scenario, medical providers charge elderly patients the full price of an expensive medical service rather than work with the insurer that is supposed to cover it. If the patient doesn’t pay, the provider sends the bill into collections, setting off a round of frightening letters, humiliating phone calls and damaging credit reports.
