Dr. Antony Fauci has been hit with a criminal referral after Republican Senator Rand Paul decided that it was finally time to take action and push to prosecute him for perjury, hot on the heels of the revelation that his pardon from Biden was written with the infamous autopen. For background, on July 14, 2025, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) announced that he was issuing a criminal referral against Dr. Anthony Fauci after it was revealed that Dr. Fauci’s pardon from former President Joe Biden was signed with the notorious autopen. Sen. Paul previously accused Dr. Fauci of lying to Congress...

A vaccine-injured doctor just came forward with an alarming statistic that should concern every COVID-vaccinated person. Speaking at a Senate committee hearing hosted by Senator Ron Johnson on Tuesday, Dr. Robert Sullivan, an anesthesiologist, delivered a raw and heartbreaking testimony about what the shot did to him. But he also shared a disturbing finding from a peer-reviewed study that paints a grim picture of what these COVID vaccines can do to the lungs. During his testimony, he revealed COVID boosters AGE lung capacity in athletes by “five to ten YEARS in just ONE WEEK.” For Dr. Sullivan, the damage was...

When NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte visited the White House on Monday, he was greeted not only by President Donald Trump but also by the striking sight of a fully gilded Oval Office. As the two men discussed details of a new U.S. assistance package to support Ukraine, they sat in front of a fireplace flanked by gold cherubs and medallions, surrounded by portraits of American statesmen in gold frames and shelves crowded with gilt figurines, urns and newly added Rococo mirrors. For those watching Trump's bilateral meetings in recent months, the scene was familiar. But it's difficult to overstate...

[Catholic Caucus] Will Pope Leo XIV Stop Sister Becquart’s Synodal Teams from Hijacking Local Churches?As Undersecretary of the General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops, Sister Nathalie Becquart now has a mandate to take all the putrid fruits of the Synod and "to implement those fruits with creativity, in the diversity of the context of the local Churches.” She and the Synodal teams are not called to make the local dioceses and eparchies more holy, orthodox, or fervent. Instead (as described below), Sister Becquart wants to compel each local church to experimentally “listen to the Spirit” to determine how to...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man was shot and killed by police early Wednesday morning in what Sheriff T.K. Waters described as a “bizarre” encounter that included the man attacking a woman who’s pregnant with his child, pulling out her hair and later chewing on it as officers tried to bring him into custody. The incident began around 11:20 p.m. at a home on Brahma Bull Circle West just off New Berlin Road on Jacksonville’s Northside. Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Chief Alan Parker explained that family members called 911 to report the man was having “some type of episode.” When Jacksonville Fire...

A candidate running for mayor of Minneapolis has called Somalia his “home” despite being born in America and running for American office. Omar Fateh, a current Minnesota state senator and mayoral candidate, was born in Washington, D.C., to Somali immigrants. Yet, during his state Senate campaign, he repeatedly referred to Somalia as his “home.” “I understand that our Somali communities are all connected to each other, here in Minnesota and back home, and I ask for your support. There’s always been a link between our community here as well as back home and I’m running to bridge that gap and...

The ∞ galaxy is interpreted as the aftermath of a nearly head-on collision between two face-on disk galaxies with massive, compact bulges. The bulges survived the collision, and the inner disk stars were swept up in outwardly expanding collisional rings around the bulges. The nearby galaxy II Hz 4 is the prototype for this kind of binary ring formation (R. Lynds & A. Toomre 1976). Compression and shocks in the colliding gas likely produced a dense gaseous remnant in between the nuclei, as has been observed in the bullet cluster on much larger scales. It is proposed that the black...

[Catholic Caucus] 4 Years of Traditionis Custodes - 4 Years of Lies An interview with Christian Marquant, of French association Paix Liturgique:Paix Liturgique – Dear Christian, what do you mean by the title you chose for this interview? Christian Marquant – That the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes, which was published exactly four years ago on July 16, 2021, was an extraordinary exercise of manipulation aimed at putting and end once and for all to the increasingly disturbing question of the renewal of those who are known as traditionalists, and whom I prefer to call faithful Catholics. Paix Liturgique – But...

“For the FOURTH month in a row, jobs numbers have beat market expectations with nearly 150,000 good jobs created in June. American-born workers have accounted for ALL of the job gains since President Trump took office and wages continue to rise. The economy is booming again and it will only get better when the One, Big, Beautiful Bill is passed and implemented.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline LeavittUnder President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the economy had another stellar month — with wage increases for hardworking Americans, a falling unemployment rate, and a labor market that’s once again benefitting American citizens.In...

Adam Swart, the CEO of Crowds on Demand, a company known for organising paid demonstrators, claims he was offered $20 million to recruit demonstrators for Thursday’s anti-Trump protests. Notably, tens of thousands of individuals nationwide are gearing up for the ‘Good Trouble Lives On’ protests honouring civil rights icon and longtime Congressman John Lewis. Axios says the Democratic Georgia lawmaker was one of Donald Trump's most vocal critics in his first term in the Oval Office and was one of the few members of Congress who decided not to attend his inauguration, the first one Lewis ever missed in his...

Today, at the direction of President Donald J. Trump, the Administration is taking the biggest step in more than 30 years to protect taxpayer-funded benefits for American citizens — NOT illegal aliens. The move, which preserves roughly $40 billion in benefits for American citizens, overturns decades of bureaucratic defiance and builds on President Trump’s executive order directing an END to the subsidization of open borders.Under President Trump, hardworking Americans will no longer be forced to front the cost of benefits for illegals:The Department of Health and Human Services is restricting illegal aliens from 13 additional public programs, including Head Start,...

Seriously, what is it with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman’s obsession with simping for Chinese communists just so he could “muh, get Trump?” Of course, he presents it the other way around in his July 3 screed: Trump is stupidly aiding the Chinese by being against "liberal" sources of energy. He’s doubling down on Beijing’s fake persona as the paragon of clean energy virtue to attack the green sludge subsidy cuts within President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” Trump not choosing to waste billions in U.S. tax dollars on climate hysteria hogwash was laughable. Then he spewed the one of...

step one: how does this image make you feel? remember your answer. there will be a test. Image narrator: action was not coming. this movie seems to be on auto repeat all over social media right now. it’s astonishing the breakdowns and breakage that seem to have been triggered by two weeks of “the donald.” leaving aside the rightness or wrongness of all this opinion and histrionic hurdy-burly, i find the overall pathology fascinating. i also think it likely means something very different than most are inclined to assume. why is becky from vassar not only having this meltdown, but...

Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that GHISLANE MAXWELL was sentenced today in Manhattan federal court by United States Circuit Judge Alison J. Nathan to 240 months in prison for her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade.

US President Donald Trump has said Attorney General Pam Bondi should release "whatever she thinks is credible" on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as he faces a rare backlash from supporters after seeking to draw a line under the case. Bondi has been lambasted by some of Trump's political base after her department recently said there was no evidence that Epstein kept a "client list". This appeared to contradict her previous statements, and those of other Trump allies who have previously called for the release of more information on Epstein. Trump also said on Tuesday he did not understand "what...

Javier Milei (pictured above) was elected President of Argentina in October 2023, and took office in December of that year. He promised large cuts to government spending, bureaucracy, and regulation as the means to revive a long moribund Argentine economy crippled by government over-spending, over-regulation, excess unionism, and corporate cronyism. But would Milei’s program work? I last wrote about Milei’s implementation of his program in this post in November 2024. That post reported that Milei had succeeded in putting through substantial cuts in government spending and bureaucracy, but that the economy had experienced a recession during his first year in...

Nigel Farage has launched a scathing attack on the UK's immigration system - and warned Sir Keir Starmer he will be held accountable if Labour fails to get a grip on rising migration numbers. The Reform UK leader and MP for Clacton said voters were "sick and tired" of mass migration, which he claimed was placing huge pressure on the NHS, housing, welfare and policing. He said: "For years, the broadcast media have pushed the narrative that mass migration is a net benefit. Skilled migrants, we have long been told, will assimilate, strengthen our economy and drive innovation. What we've...
