A growing number of House Republicans are building a case against the country’s former top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who became a household name during the pandemic, for allegedly misleading Congress on several occasions. “So, specifically before your committee and also before Rand Paul over in the Senate, Dr. Fauci has, of course, absolved himself of all funding of gain-of-function,” conservative podcaster Benny Johnson said in an interview with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan. “He said he didn’t know anything about it. It is verifiable and demonstrable that he lied. Now, there are codes in Congress. I...

Casey DeSantis, wife of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, said the quiet part of their campaign strategy in Iowa out loud on Friday, urging out-of-state “Mamas for DeSantis” members to take part in the upcoming Iowa Caucus. The comments were made during an appearance on the Fox News Channel alongside her husband. Mrs. DeSantis said the group was collectively encouraged to “descend upon the state of Iowa to be a part of the caucus.”The Iowa GOP was forced to issue a statement pointing out that only legal Iowa residents could vote in the caucus and reminded voters to bring a photo...

The younger generations seem increasingly crazed. A worrying proportion of the young sympathises with those who launch terror attacks against Israel, supports the immediate elimination of fossil fuels or demands the wiping out of gender distinctions. All these positions are troubling in themselves, but they also reflect a deeper malady – a mostly apolitical breakdown of social norms, personal interaction, literacy and logical thinking. No single issue has catalysed Gen Z, as the Vietnam War did for the Baby Boomer generation. Boomers were angry but did not generally despair about their futures, which turned out reasonably well, buoyed by the...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Russian leader Vladimir Putin for nearly an hour Sunday, criticizing Moscow’s alliance with Iran and expressing dissatisfaction with its stance on Israel’s war with Hamas. -snip- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Russian leader Vladimir Putin for nearly an hour Sunday, criticizing Moscow’s alliance with Iran and expressing dissatisfaction with its stance on Israel’s war with Hamas. Moscow hosted a Hamas delegation in late October for meetings at which Kremlin officials expressed support for their positions, further straining already frayed ties between Israel and Russia, which has regularly criticized Israel’s Gaza offensive.

VIDEOJack Dorsey had a horrible nightmare in the early AM hours of December 10. He didn't have to wake up to find out that Alex Jones was REINSTATED to Twitter (now X). And this nightmare isn't a one time thing. It is just the start of eternal Groundhog Day nightmares. Or you could call it a reverse Groundhog Day in that everytime Jack Dorsey goes to sleep, this SAME nightmare plays over and over and over again in his mind. There is no escape from the fate that Dorsey's soul will FOREVER be defined by his being known as Alex...

After California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom defended his leadership of the nation's most populous state to the hilt last week in a debate against Florida Republican GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, new data projects a massive budget shortfall. In a report published Thursday, California's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office said, "Largely as a result of a severe revenue decline in 2022‑23, the state faces a serious budget deficit. Specifically, under the state’s current law and policy, we estimate the Legislature will need to solve a budget problem of $68 billion in the upcoming budget process."

Some takeaways from Nargaret Brennan on CBS' 'Face the Nation' 12/10/23. After Charlie D'Agara stressed that the "Israeli military insists there is a safe corridor, but the UN is just not using it," Brennan completely ignored this. Brennan also ignored the almost daily finds by the IDF of locations where Hamas (who narrates images out of Gaza) and other Jihadis use for weapons and where to fire from, including: children's rooms, teddy bear, UNRWA schools, etc. For quite sometime, Brennan quoted Sanders about aid to Israel and promoted his views, instead of acting as an objective journalist. In this morning...

I was trying to catch up on yesterday's Steve Bannon program, since I could not watch it on Saturday (it's the Sabbath). But the web page is not functioning. I tried a different browser, but had the same results. You can see the thumbnails for the different episodes, but if you click on them, nothing happens. They won't play. It was functioning earlier, but now it won't play. Did some libtard managed a DOS attack or something?

Recent occurrences in the Middle East resulted a “divisive” architecture event this past Thursday at Ohio State University. According to the OSU National Association of Minority Landscape Architects’ Abdul-Azeez Ahmad, the December 7 “Justice Centered Design” confab came about due to “the illegal Israeli occupation and everything happening in Palestine.” The event featured a screening of Israeli architect Eyal Weizman’s film “The Architecture of Violence” along with a panel discussion, The Lantern reports. The film “takes [the viewer] through the eyes of hostile architecture that was designed by the Israeli occupation to subjugate and to keep the Palestinians living in...

A progressive district attorney in Austin, Texas dropped indictments against 17 police officers involved in quelling Black Lives Matter riots in 2020 in a move Austin cops past and present tell Fox News Digital was a political smear from the beginning by a top prosecutor determined to demonize police regardless of the effect on the lives of law enforcement.

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is living in an alternate universe. Once considered one of the Republican Party’s rising stars, Haley is becoming more and more out of touch with her party as her long-shot presidential campaign drags on. ... DeSantis correctly called out Haley’s long record of cultural liberalism, including her veto of a bill in South Carolina that would have prevented biological men from using women’s bathrooms. “They had a bill to try to say that men shouldn’t go into girls’ bathrooms, and she killed that bill, and she bragged that she killed that bill — even...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that her main focus was on defeating former President Donald Trump because he is an “existential threat.” Cheney said, “Neither party has selected their nominee yet. It looks like it’s most likely to be Donald Trump and Joe Biden, but we don’t know that for sure. I think it’s going to require making an assessment about sort of how we can most effectively mobilize people in both parties and mobilize independents frankly to stand against Donald Trump. I think, you know, there’s a lot that has to be done...

I've gotten sick over the past week and have been taking oral doses of Ivermectin. Have read that taking it through a nebulizer is way more effective. But, I don't know the dosages. Can anyone help me on this?

Daily Readings from the USCCBThe beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way. A voice of one crying out in the desert: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.” Mark 1:1–3These, the opening lines from the Gospel of Saint Mark, present us with Saint John the Baptist.

-Avoid mouldy grains, nuts and apples -Avoid mouldy soft cheese, berries and bread -But some cheeses ARE safe One of the only foods you can eat even if it is mouldy is hard cheese. 'Hard, dense foods like hard cheeses or firm fruits and vegetables are more resistant to penetration by the mould so the mould could be cut out and the food consumed', he added. To be safe Dr Fuchs recommends people cut off about 2.5cm of food around and below the mouldy area. However, when mould is specifically used to make a product, such as blue cheese, it...
