Breaking: Barry Young will be allowed bail at 1pm tomorrow (NZ time). This gives NZ Police time to download his cloud storage so they can verify that I and Professor Fenton advised him that the data showed the vaccines were killing people.

Listening to a world expert instead of the corrupt NZ health authorities who never did a cohort time-series analysis on their own data. They should be charging us with...

Former House speaker and Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich said Monday on Fox News Channel’s “FOX & Friends” that moderate Republicans will likely face primary challenges if they vote against a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. When asked for his reaction to Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) saying he has the necessary votes, Gingrich said, “If you’re a Democrat, you have to ask yourself, do you want to vote against learning what happened with Chinese money, Russian money, Kazakhstan money, Romanian money, Ukraine money.

A dietary supplement significantly reduced high blood sugar caused by a diuretic used to lower blood pressure while also correcting electrolyte imbalances. Millions of Americans take thiazide diuretics, a class of medications used to treat high blood pressure.
