So stunning, so brave. In what's being called a "contrast" to the two white men who have statues in Times Square, a new 12-foot statue of a fictionalized overweight black woman has been erected at Broadway and 46th Street. Why? The Times Square Arts association presents a big word salad on its official website for the bronze statue (it will stay standing until June 17) created by artist Thomas J Price, but then, buried deep in the word salad, we get an interesting nugget.

… Kennedy’s claim about fetal debris specifically refers to the rubella component of the MMR vaccine. The rubella virus is generally grown in a human cell line known as WI-38, which was originally derived from lung tissue of a single elective abortion in the 1960s. This cell line has been used for decades, and no new fetal tissue has been used since. Certain vaccines for other diseases, such as chickenpox, hepatitis A and rabies, have also been made by growing the viruses in fetal cells. These cells are used not because of their origin, but because they provide a stable,...

The National Media is beginning to clue in on what was going on. In part there was a FBI investigation that gave the university cover, because the NCAA could not move forward until they...

What did the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation do though? They arrest the man who exposed it. Leaked documents reveal that health “professionals” at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center knew that Audrey Hale, the disturbed “trans” individual who slaughtered six innocent people during a school shooting rampage in 2023, had “suicidal” and “homicidal” ideations years before the killing spree. Who knows how long Hale had been receiving mental health care by 2019, but that was four years before the shooting. Mental health “professionals” noticed Hale’s evident “anger” grow with “greater frequency,” and she admitted she had thoughts of killing herself and...

Willis, the eight-page letter stated, had violated a slew of whistleblower protection laws when she reassigned Timpson to serve as a glorified file clerk following a brief meeting in July 2021 in which the district attorney refused to hear Timpson’s allegations. Timpson believed...

Several weeks ago I asked for prayers for my wife Jane and Niece Diane. Jane was fighting stage 4 Uterine cancer and Diane had a very dangerous heart condition. Here is what has happened since.
