San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie will have to tackle the city’s nearly $1 billion budget deficit when he takes office on January 8, and he may be forced to cut staff and services to overcome a shortfall of the city’s own creation. San Francisco imposed draconian lockdown policies during the coronavirus pandemic, while also adopting lax policing policies that allowed crime and homelessness to skyrocket. Many of the city’s residents — including tech employees, now able to work from home — moved elsewhere. As a result, San Francisco has recovered from the pandemic more slowly than any other major city...

Well Bill Gates and the WHO have ran a simulation of the next pandemic, coming soon to a government near you in 2025. The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation conducted another pandemic tabletop exercise in Brussels, Belgium, on October 23, 2022. The phenomenon is dubbed SEERS, Severe Epidemic Enterovirus Respiratory Syndrome 2025. You ready?

“I have never seen something so injurious to the human body.” It invades the brain. It invades the heart. It causes brain and heart damage. It invades the bone marrow. It stimulates antibodies to attack cells and platelets. It causes blood clotting and damage to blood vessels like we’ve never seen. Data from the University of Pittsburgh suggests it causes cancer. “Since when do we have a protein that actually injures the brain, injures the heart, the bone marrow, the immune system, causes blood clotting, and potentially causes cancer in a single protein?” Dr. McCullough asked. “It’s a weapon,” he...

The biggest blunder in the history of American politics was the premeditated, unabashed, and overt theft of the 2020 presidential election by the Democrat Party, the legacy media, and their fellow left-wing elitists in the Ruling Class as that alliance failed to create an unquestioned landslide defeat of Donald Trump and were thus, forced into the impossible task of placating the extreme left-wing faction of the coalition. This blunder set the stage for the 2024 Trump landslide and hastened the demise of the Democrat Party and the legacy media. This cabal further compounded the original blunder of overtly stealing the...

FYI: The Intergovernmental Negotiating Body is scheduled to meet on Monday, November 11, 2024 to consider calling for a special session of the World Health Assembly in the hopes of adopting the proposed “Pandemic Agreement” BEFORE the end of 2024. The INB will consider the determination of process for the convening, as appropriate, of a special session of the Health Assembly by the Executive Board, provided that agreement is reached on the draft WHO Pandemic Agreement. https://apps.who.int/gb/inb/pdf_files/inb12/A_inb12_2Rev1-en.pdf (page 3) If you are opposed to the “Pandemic Agreement,” then RIGHT NOW would be a VERY good time to take the actions...

Barack and Michelle Obama blamed Donald Trump’s historic victory on the pandemic and the economy in a statement released Wednesday. The pandemic hit early in the final year of Trump’s presidency, but the Biden Department of Health and Human Services declared the emergency’s end on May 11, 2023 – long after most Americans had returned to normal life. “America has been through a lot over the last few years — from a historic pandemic and price hikes resulting from the pandemic, to rapid change and the feeling a lot of folks have that, no matter how hard they work, treading...

The Covid-19 pandemic may be behind us, but its effects are still evident across Europe. In the aftermath, countries are seeing an increase in viral infections, particularly among children and teenagers. Are these infections a cause for alarm, or is it a natural consequence of our post-pandemic world? The surge in viral infections across Europe In Denmark, cases of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, a bacterium responsible for respiratory infections, have surged. The 2023-2024 season saw a threefold increase in infections compared to pre-pandemic years, and hospitalisations rose 2.6 times, according to a report on The Lancet. Despite this uptick, the severity of...

Masks are coming back to the Bay Area — for a limited time.... The orders are aimed at reducing the spread of flu, COVID and other respiratory viruses in medical settings during the winter virus season that typically spans late fall to early spring. For the most part, the orders apply to health care workers only and echo similar local health orders announced last year for the 2023-24 winter virus season. But two local jurisdictions, Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, are also extending the requirement to visitors — and Santa Clara County is also asking patients to mask up....

Remember the last time the globalists took the mask off? It wasn’t that long ago, but some people might have already forgotten how the western world almost lost all individual freedom under the guise of an over-hyped health emergency. When globalists are honest about what they truly want, it usually coincides with an engineered calamity. In the two years since the failure of the covid pandemic narrative I have argued that globalist organizations are trying to regroup under a new plan. The evidence suggests that these people suffered a shocking revelation after their attempt to implement perpetual medical tyranny. They’ve...

Hypocrite, thy name is Varma. Believe it or not, it takes a lot for the blue-state diehards of the Big Apple to start paying attention to a conservative commentator. But when Steven Crowder published a secretly recorded video, it cut right through the jugular of our political divides, exposing the open hatred we seem to all share for one type of villain. This human nature is best explained by the poet Dante in The Inferno. Past the heretics, far-beyond the gluttons and usurers, and even below the murderers and blasphemers, the eighth circle of hell is the realm of false...

America's COVID celebrity is facing scrutiny for funding risky research that may have sparked the pandemic—and for allegedly covering it up.In June 2024, Anthony Fauci appeared before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic for a contentious confrontation with congressional Republicans. But it opened on what might have sounded like an amicable note, as the subcommittee's chairman, Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R–Ohio), played up Fauci's sainted status: "There were drinks named after you. You got bobbleheads made in your likeness. You were on the cover of Vogue. You threw out the first pitch at a Washington Nationals game." Fauci was...

A recent study by the University of Washington found that the COVID pandemic may have prematurely aged teenagers' brains, particularly young girls. Many people experienced disruptions to their daily lives and routines due to stay-at-home orders and limited social interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic, with this being shown to particularly affect the well-being of young people. Now, a study by researchers at the University of Washington has found that the COVID-19 pandemic may have caused unusual changes in adolescents’ brain development, resulting in accelerated brain maturation. "We were really surprised to find that in our post-COVID data the cortical thickness...

Gov. Andrew Cuomo allegedly himself “edited” a state report that deflated New York’s COVID-19 death toll in nursing homes — which his top aides pressured health officials into releasing, despite knowing the issue would turn into a “great debacle,” according to the stunning results of an investigation by a US House committee. Cuomo “absolutely” signed off on the disastrous directive early in the pandemic forcing coronavirus patients back into nursing homes — leading to as many as 9,000 excess COVID deaths — the final congressional report and witness testimonies exclusively obtained by The Post show. The House Select Subcommittee on...

WHEELING, WV (WTRF) – West Virginia Governor Jim Justice is among a group of 24 Republican governors who joined together to write a letter to President Joe Biden to state their united opposition to two proposals currently under negotiation that would grant the World Health Organization (WHO) what they call “unprecedented and unconstitutional” powers in the United States. The governors state that “if adopted, these agreements would seek to elevate the WHO from an advisory body to a global authority in public health. ...they are concerned the most recent draft of the “Pandemic Treaty,” which would allow for the WHO...

As summer 2024 draws to a close, the U.S. finds itself once again grappling with a surge in COVID-19 infections. This wave has taken many people by surprise, particularly as the country has largely consigned the pandemic to the past. While public life has pretty much returned to pre-pandemic norms — something almost none of us would have believed in the summer of 2020 — the virus itself has not. Mutations of the virus continue to occur, and new variants are emerging, posing ongoing challenges to public health and safety. As we look ahead to the remainder of 2024 and...

A decorated scientist with four degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believes the coronavirus pandemic is being used by the “Deep State” for its own purposes. Shiva Ayyadurai said on Twitter that “fear-mongering” over the outbreak is being used to push an agenda. “As an MIT PhD in Biological Engineering who studies & does research nearly every day on the Immune System, the #coronavirus fear mongering by the Deep State will go down in history as one of the biggest fraud to manipulate economies, suppress dissent, & push MANDATED Medicine!” he said. It is important to note that Ayyadurai...

Former national security adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, Olivia Troye, revealed that her biggest fear linked to another Trump administration is who he'll appoint to his cabinet. She worries about people like one-time White House strategist Steve Bannon and short-time Trump National Security Adviser Mike Flynn — both charged with crimes then pardoned by Trump — and Kash Patel, who has written a children's book about "King Trump." Trump learned from his first term that he can place people in "acting" positions without Senate confirmation, Troye warned in an MSNBC interview Saturday. Who knows what you will get...

When local restaurant owners make the difficult decision to close their doors for good, it often feels like the Madison area loses a little part of its identity. Recently, a few of those announcements have been about establishments old and new, including Nick's Restaurant of 60 years, Essen Haus of 40 years, Harvest of 20 years, Daisy Café & Cupcakery of 15 years, East Johnson Family Restaurant and The Ready Set, both open about three years, and Amara of about two years. They're places we'll miss that offered food and experiences we won't soon forget. Here's more information about their...
