Some children who experienced heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccination had scarring on their hearts months later, a new long-term study found.Researchers followed a group of 40 patients aged 12 to 18 for up to one year after the children were diagnosed with myocarditis, or heart inflammation, following vaccination with one of the messenger RNA vaccines from Pfizer or Moderna. They performed a series of tests, including echocardiograms.Cardiac MRIs were performed on 39 of the 40 patients. Abnormal results came in for 26 of those who were imaged, including 19 who had late gadolinium enhancement, or signs of scarring. The patients...

All the ballot harvesting in the world cannot stop one ballot manufacturing operation. The world of U.S. election fraud tactics changed forever -- in the most fundamental of ways -- last week with the Gateway Pundit publication of the alleged 2020 Michigan ballot manufacturing factory. Days later, the Michigan Secretary of State confirmed that indeed this event did take place, adding a little different spin -- the system caught this fraud before it impacted an election. Interesting that now, three years later, an admitted massive election fraud event did occur -- yet not one person has been jailed. Not one...

Leadership like no other. Thank you President Trump, for responding to the Maui tragedy with respect and compassion. This was a perfect Presidential response. The people of Maui, I'm sure appreciate your kind and thoughtful words during this enormous tragedy.

New Yorkers are still feeling the pinch thanks to inflation — as experts just revealed Americans are forking over $709 more per month on common goods than they did just two years ago. Some are scrimping by shopping only when the sales come around — while others, like Yvonne Lindesay have been forced to eat less healthy to contend with rising food costs. “Everything is high as hell,” Lindesay, 67, said Monday. Here’s how other New Yorkers feel about having to tighten their purse strings:

Hey, life’s a beach, man. President Biden lounged Sunday on Rehoboth Beach while the town of Lahaina on the island of Maui was still smoking, with photos of the once-idyllic paradise showing a charred wasteland. The grim images, the unfathomable loss of life, the haunting, sickening knowledge the news would only worsen as the days passed: It would have brought any stoic to tears. But not beach bum Biden. Ol’ Joe was busy relaxing in his lounge chair for hours getting some vitamin D and living out one of those cheesy “Beach life” mottos you see painted on driftwood.

During an interview with NPR’s 1A podcast released on Monday, White House National Climate Adviser Ali Zaidi stated that President Joe Biden has “not been afraid to use emergency tools where they’re justified” on climate, and his use of executive power has been “underappreciated.” Zaidi also stated that “It’s really important that we make irreversible progress as quickly as we can” on climate. Zaidi said, “From day one of his administration, the President has treated the climate crisis as an emergency. He joined the Paris Climate Accords, set ambitious goals, passed historic legislation, and has used emergency tools, like the...

My last post highlighted two lengthy comments submitted to EPA by groups of states critical of the agency’s recently-proposed “Power Plant Rule.” (EPA’s official title: “New Source Performance Standards for GHG Emissions from New and Reconstructed EGUs; Emission Guidelines for GHG Emissions from Existing EGUs; and Repeal of the Affordable Clean Energy Rule.” ). The Rule seeks to eliminate, or nearly so, all greenhouse gas emissions from electric power plants, by some time in the 2030s. The comments that I highlighted delve into substantial technical detail, giving serious reasons why EPA’s proposed transformation of the country’s electricity generation system is...

On August 8, 2023, In the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii, Judge Leslie E. Kobayashi issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) in the case of Wolford v. Lopez.The case was filed on June 23, 2023, and has been written about previously on AmmoLand. The plaintiffs asked for a TRO for five of fifteen so-called “sensitive places” in the new Hawaii law. Judge Kobayashi issued the TRO for most of the places asked for by the plaintiffs, with some exceptions. Whether the other places which are labeled as “sensitive places” in the law will be upheld by...

A Fitch Ratings analyst warned that the U.S. banking industry has inched closer to another source of turbulence — the risk of sweeping rating downgrades on dozens of U.S. banks that could even include the likes of JPMorgan Chase . The ratings agency cut its assessment of the industry’s health in June, a move that analyst Chris Wolfe said went largely unnoticed because it didn’t trigger downgrades on banks.

As usual, California was ahead of the game. It's been two decades since lawmakers passed the first law to begin requiring electric utilities to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. Nearly as long since Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called for 1 million solar roofs. A decade since the state first mandated large numbers of electric cars on the road, and four years since Berkeley became the first U.S. city to ban gas appliances in new homes. None of those initiatives have protected the Golden State from the ravages of the climate crisis. Will Californians be willing to give up cooking with...

States that declared themselves refuges for transgender people have essentially issued an invitation: Get your gender-affirming health care here without fearing prosecution at home. Now that bans on such care for minors are taking effect around the country — Texas could be next, depending on the outcome of a court hearing this week — patients and their families are testing clinics’ capacity. Already-long waiting lists are growing, yet there are only so many providers of gender-affirming care and only so many patients they can see in a day. For those refuge states — so far, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts,...

President Biden on Monday moved forward with his administration’s plan to cancel $39 billion in student loan debt for more than 800,000 borrowers after a judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to block the plan. Michigan District Judge Thomas Ludington declared Monday that a lawsuit filed by the Cato Institute and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy against the Department of Education lacks standing, throwing the case out. The institutions argued in the suit that the administration’s plan to forgive loans from borrowers who have been paying back their loans for 20-25 years is unconstitutional and in violation of the Administrative...

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump told Fox News Digital his fourth indictment comes during a "dark period for our country" but vowed to win the 2024 presidential election and "Make America Great Again." Trump was indicted for the fourth time Monday night - this time out of the Georgia probe into alleged efforts to overturn 2020 election. "Nineteen people were indicted, and the whole world is laughing at the United States as they see how corrupt and horrible a place it has turned out to be under the leadership of Crooked Joe Biden," Trump told Fox News Digital during an exclusive...

Three military services are now without Senate-confirmed heads for the first time in history, as Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) holds up the confirmations of more than 300 senior military officers to protest the Pentagon’s new abortion policy. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday stepped down from his role Monday, leaving the Navy, Army and Marine Corps with acting heads. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday slammed the holds, which are stretching into a fifth month with no resolution in sight. “Because of this blanket hold, for the first time in the history of the Department of Defense, three of...

Desperate survivors in Lahaina are robbing people at gunpoint as they wait for food and shelter in the aftermath of the Maui wildfires, Hawaiian locals said. "There's some police presence. There's some small military presence, but at night people are being robbed at gunpoint," co-owner of a Lāhainā bar called The Dirty Monkey, Matt Robb, told Business Insider. Robb added: "People are raped and pillaged. I mean, they're going through houses - and then by day it's hunky-dory. So where is the support? I don't think our government and our leaders, at this point, know how to handle this or...

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives; who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?” Friedrich NietzscheIn the wake of the ‘murder’ of Jesus Christ, second Person of the Holy Trinity, an anarchy of narcissism and depravity has overtaken our godless woke society. Posing as legal, political, special rights, superior expert opinion, and...

ACRE, Israel – A family-owned company said it brought Bible verses to life after the Israeli government certified it as the first to discover precious gems in the Holy Land. The verse, found in the book of Isaiah, states that Israel's foundations will be laid with sapphires and its borders with precious stones. After the Taubs discovered various gems through its mining firm, the Israeli family launched a new company in 2022 to sell them. "... I will lay your foundations with sapphires and I will make your windows of jasper and your gates of carbuncle stones, and all your...
