The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) warned Thursday nobody should relax in the face of future coronavirus threats, cautioning the strong likelihood that further, possibly more dangerous variants still lie ahead. During a press briefing, Prof. Didier Houssin, who heads the W.H.O. emergency coronavirus committee, said the current disposition of the pandemic is “not good,” despite it being 18 months since it was officially declared a public health emergency.

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, declared Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that former President Donald Trump was “dangerous.” Schiff argued it was because Trump is perfectly fine with endangering the life of the Capitol Police officer who allegedly shot Ashli Babbit on January 6. Burnett said, “So I just played a moment ago. I don’t know if you heard it as you were hooking up, congressman, but what the former president said today about Ashli Babbitt. Obviously, what he says about the guns is incorrect, but this is not new. He keeps talking about this even...

Based on less than 1200 adolescents who were administered the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, the ACIP voted to recommend that the experimental vaccine can be given to every adolescent in the U.S. and said it can be given simultaneously with every other vaccine recommended by the CDC for adolescent children. So the CDC says it is okay for a 12-year-old to get the experimental Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine along with vaccines for influenza, HPV, Tdap and meningococcal on the same day. No Information on Co-administration of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine with Other Vaccines The FDA’s May 10 Fact Sheet for Health Care Providers...

Monday, during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Fox News Primetime,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticized President Joe Biden’s approach to foreign policy on both the Russia and China fronts. Graham argued no one was “afraid” of Biden, which made the country “dangerous

U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) explained on Tuesday why the agency decided to lock down an account that was used to post warnings of dangerous aliens who were released into American communities, often citing city policies that released the aliens before ICE officers could take them into custody. The account, @ICEAlerts, was created in 2013 and was extensively used during former President Trump's administration. The last tweet was sent on January 21, 2021. "It seems the Biden Admin locked @ICEAlerts because if you were to report the location of one of these dangerous aliens to ICE, it would become...

Frontline Doctors: Experimental vaccines are ‘not safer’ than COVID-19Physicians’ white paper says injection prohibited for the young and at least discouraged for healthy individuals under 70 years of age. ‘Unethical’ to advocate vaccine for persons under 50.January 29, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — In an extraordinary recent presentation exposing “the serious and life-threatening disinformation campaign” being waged against the American people and the world, Dr. Simone Gold of the American Frontline Doctors (AFLD) laid out the facts on the Wuhan Virus, safe highly-effective treatments, and particularly what she calls “experimental biological agents,” otherwise referred to as the COVID-19 vaccines. Dr. Gold referred...

USA Today claimed Tuesday that Georgia Senate Democrat candidate Raphael Warnock’s sermon calling for America to “repent for its worship of whiteness” is “missing context.” USA Today wrote how Warnock has come under “intense scrutiny from conservative groups who seek to paint Warnock’s religious sermons as radical.” The outlet claimed that the video of Warnock’s controversial remarks is “missing context” from the rest of his sermon. Warnock said in an address at Atlanta’s Candler School of Theology right before the 2016 presidential election, “America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness on full display.” USA Today claimed Warnock’s use...

A controversy over the safety of owning Czechoslovakian wolfdogs is afoot following the fatal mauling of a 74-year-old Italian woman, who was reportedly killed by her five dogs. Mariangela Zaffino’s body was found by her daughter in the northern Italy apartment where the pair lived with their handful of canines, according to the Telegraph. The victim’s daughter and local authorities said the five wolfdogs — named Ares, Aylen, Artù, Aragorn and Apache — had not showed signs of aggression prior to Zaffino’s death. What prompted the attack is unclear, though the animals have been removed from the home by law...

Gov. Jay Inslee issued a proclamation Monday halting the termination of a city-county health department or the withdrawal from a health district until the COVID-19 state of emergency is over, as local public health districts face continued politicization. The proclamation was announced just one day before a vote in the Pierce County Council to break its county-city health department agreement. The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department has received attention in the past few weeks after members of the county council proposed breaking a decades-long agreement between Tacoma and Pierce County to share a health department. “The pause is necessary to ensure...

Science. Michigan’s crazed governor/tyrant ordered all high school and college football, soccer and volleyball athletes to wear face masks — even during competition.

QAnon is a virtual cult that celebrates President Trump and casts Democratic politicians and other elites as evil child abusers. Aspects of the cult are downright delusional. Last year an FBI office warned that Q adherents are a domestic terrorism threat. Despite all of that, or maybe because of all that, this dangerous nonsense seems to be spreading. It is cropping up in congressional races and national news coverage. In recent weeks many observers of the online information ecosystem have written, with growing concern, about the mainstreaming of QAnon. Reporters like Kevin Roose of The New York Times and Ben...

Over a dozen potential COVID-19 vaccines are currently under development that could be candidates for a Trump administration program to fast-track for widespread inoculation by January 2021, senior officials within the administration told NBC News. The program, known as "Operation Warp Speed" whittled down 14 candidates from a pool 93 potential vaccines several weeks ago. According to officials, those 14 vaccine candidates will undergo testing to further whittle down the number of vaccines to six or eight. This batch of candidates will make it to next rounds of clinical trials. From there, health experts are looking to weed out faulty...

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro says the Chinese coronavirus crisis is vindicating President Trump’s economic nationalist agenda, underscoring how “dangerously over-dependent” the nation is on global supply chains overseas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKmmu9cPReQ&feature=emb_title  

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” former Obama administration Secretary of State John Kerry said America was in a “dangerous place” under the leadership of President Donald Trump. When asked if Trump could “bumble” us into a war with Iran, Kerry said, “Yes, obviously he could I mean he almost did.” He continued, “He has obviously not achieved anything with North Korea.” He added, “He pulled us out of the Paris agreement. Everybody in the world knows that the evidence of what is happening in terms of climate change facts on the ground is growing and growing and growing with...

A new government-funded study takes an indirect jab at President Trump for pulling out of a costly and dubious global climate accord signed by Obama and chastises the U.S. military for not possessing an “environmentally conscious mindset.” It also claims the Department of Defense (DOD) is “precariously underprepared” for the national security implications of climate change. A lengthy report published by the United States Army War College essentially blasts the DOD—and the president—for ignoring the threats that climate change poses to national security. The distinguished authors, which include Army and Air Force colonels, an Ivy League professor and other highly...

Monday Fox News contributor Karl Rove said President Donald Trump needs to do better than the “raw and dangerous” rhetoric he has used while commenting on racial issues. Discussing politicians comments on the recent mass shootings, Rove said, “Everybody in our political system needs to do better. The president needs to do better. His rhetoric at times has been raw and dangerous, I think in terms of being easily misunderstood. The Charlottesville statement, for example.”

**SNIP** Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s proposed “geriatric parole” program - which would entitle some state prisoners 55 or older who have served at least half their sentence to parole hearings - is one such concern to O’Neill, though proponents say it’s humane and could save the state money on medical care. “Most people in New York City and across the nation are really good people,” said O’Neill. “But there’s a certain percentage of the population that just can’t abide by society’s rules, and they do very bad things and they need to stay in prison.” **SNIP** O’Neill said Sunday he doesn’t...

Democrats are dangerous. They will say anything to win an election. They have run out of ideas. They neither share in our founding fathers' dream nor believe in it. They are dangerous because they are a dying party. Democrats are dangerous. They are not your father’s Democrats. They don’t believe in anything your parents believed in. They scream and yell or sit on the floor if they don’t get their way. What was once a small group of radicals in the sixties has now completely taken over the party. I don’t think there is a lucid member left. While the...

Today, it is tempting to imagine that Trump’s impeachment and removal would take the country back to a saner, simpler time. This illusion ignores the enduring forces that brought Trump to power as well as the risks of impeachment itself... [Jeffrey] Engel warns that impeachment “disrupts the American political landscape as few other events do, leaving scars for generations.” A failed impeachment drive could encourage the president’s most dangerous impulses, and even if it succeeds, impeachment only kicks out an offending leader, “it doesn’t fix the democratic decline that brought [him] to power,” [Laurence] Tribe and [Joshua] Matz remind. Catch...
