The town of Enfield voted to get rid of its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee Thursday. “The majority of the council wanted to repeal the DEI committee in Enfield. This has been an ongoing desire of the Republican majority,” said State Rep. and Enfield Town Councilor At-Large John Santanella. Enfield Mayor Ken Nelson said the DEI committee could never keep enough members over the years. “Over the course of time, starting with the very first meeting, due to disagreements within the members some members never returned,” Nelson said. “Some members resigned, and you can’t replace someone unless they formally resign.”...

I just watched a commercial for Prevnar 20 (i.e., PNC20, for pneumococcol pneumonia), which I believe failed to mention this product is made by Pfizer. It claimed people over 65 are 6x more likely to get pneumococcol pneumonia, but failed to note any other issues like co-morbidities which could contribute to this rate. Because there is sales pressure present, and by a company which cannot be trusted, I thought I would see what information might be available to a curious consumer.Here's Pfizer's webpage, noting that Prevnar was FDA approved June 08, 2021.U.S. FDA Approves PREVNAR 20™, Pfizer’s Pneumococcal 20-valent Conjugate...

Weeks before the riot, Stewart Rhodes told his supporters to prepare for civil war. Sky's James Matthews asked him what he meant. Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the so-called Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison, but is now a free man after being pardoned by Donald Trump.

Shalom Lappin is the author of The New Antisemitism: The Resurgence of an Ancient Hatred in the Modern World (Polity) which won the 2024 LCSCA Book Prize Since the Hamas terrorist attack of 7 October 2023, Diaspora Jews have found themselves under sustained assault on a variety of fronts, from much of the radical left, and its Islamist allies.[1] People who pose as guardians of equality and anti-racism are leading violent demonstrations praising mass murder attacks against Israelis. They are urging the exclusion of all Jews who do not endorse their views from the mainstream of the social order. How...

President Donald Trump suggested in an interview that aired Thursday night that Ukraine should not have fought when Russia invaded it. "Zelenskyy was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful," Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "He shouldn’t have done that, because we could have made a deal." Trump has argued that Zelenskyy should have made a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to avoid the war, a stance he reiterated in the Fox News interview. "I could have made that deal so easily, and Zelenskyy decided that 'I want to fight,'" Trump said. Trump went on...

WASHINGTON—Two centrist Republican senators said they opposed the nomination of President Trump’s defense-secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, injecting new drama into what was expected to be a nail-biter of a vote Friday. In a statement Thursday, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said Hegseth’s “nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook,” pointing to worries about his character and his lack of experience running large organizations, as well as his past opposition to women serving in combat roles in the military. “I cannot in good conscience support his nomination,” she said. Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine) followed with...

Illinois had some rare, good news yesterday.Stellantis, the Big 3 auto maker, announced it will be investing $1.2 billion in its Belvidere assembly plant and bringing back about 1,500 jobs there.You’ll never know who really got it done if you listen to Illinois’ leadership.It was a “dramatic turnabout,” as the Detroit Free Press put it.As you may remember, Gov. JB Pritzker announced to much fanfare in October 2023 that the Stellantis facility in Belvidere, idled with layoffs just before the previous Christmas, would be reopened. But no deal was ever signed and, last year, Stellantis indefinitely postponed any Belividere expansion,...

The United States might welcome the royal family for a tour following the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Historically, the United States and the United Kingdom maintained a strong alliance, carrying over between Presidential administrations. As Trump enters the first year of his second term, the senior royals are considering their options moving forward. According to The Times, they're looking to travel to the United States in 2026 in an effort to renew the countries' relations. The official plans are yet to be set, but a source indicated that the British are hoping that Trump's affection for the Firm will...

This is a terrifying development but, to be honest, one you could see coming from a mile away.God help the white farmers and property owners of South Africa.The government has awarded a license to steal.It's not just farms. The law applies to any fixed property.— Martin van Staden (@Martin_ASFL) January 23, 2025As much as South Africa has tremendous natural resources and so much stunning natural beauty they could have a viable national economy on tourism alone, there is so much internecine tribal warfare and outright government corruption that they are a failed state in the last throes of exploiting every...

Mr. President, I believe that the CIA is providing you inaccurate, false intelligence about Russia’s casualties and the condition of its economy. If you hope to realize your goal of opening negotiations with President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, you must be equipped with the best information available.You have been briefed that Russia has suffered devastating losses — as many as 800,000 casualties — and that Russia’s economy is weak and fragile. Data from open sources paint a diametrically opposite picture.One of the best open sources for information about Russian casualties is Mediazona:Mediazona (Russian:...

Knives don't kill people. People kill people. Beege had a great post yesterday about Kier Starmer blaming Amazon.com for selling knives online, allowing the Southport terrorist to get his hands on one. The fact that the perpetrator was a known wolf, had threatened to go on a killing spree at a school, and had multiple arrests was not the problem. It was the knife that did it. Everything about this case stinks to high heaven. Britons are in jail right now for telling the truth about the killer--apparently, saying true things is a form of terrorism that actually gets you...

You may or may not know the name "Brent Bozell," but surely you know his work as the founder and president of the Media Research Center. They are the guys who have worked the longest and accomplished the most to expose the Left-wing bias of the Pravda Media. Back when the only thing we could do was bitch about how biased the media was, Brent went to work documenting and exposing it. No doubt you have seen tens or hundreds of MRC clips online exposing the idiocy of the Pravda propagandists. I have used those videos countless times over the...
