President Biden said Tuesday that there’s enough COVID relief funding to get through “at least this year,” but the administration needs more money for vaccines for children and “to plan for the second pandemic.” Congress has not approved a $10 billion COVID funding request, despite the Biden administration’s insistence that the money is needed for future COVID variants and worldwide vaccination efforts. […] “We have to think ahead, and that’s not something the last outfit did very well. That’s something we’ve been doing fairly well. That’s why we need the money,” the president said. …

One of my favorite non-religious fiction books of all time is World War Z (An Oral History of the Zombie War) by author Max Brooks (the son of Mel Brooks). Despite its ominous title, the book isn’t so much about zombies and gore, as it is about human behavior and what people do when a crisis happens. What was more fascinating, was the way the book was formatted. It was written in such a way as to chronicle the global crisis after the fact, as the main character was tasked by the United Nations with documenting the viral outbreak from...

We were swindled, fooled, bamboozled and lied to during the pandemic. The public-health establishment misled the American people about the value of masking, closures and social distancing. No one has accepted blame. Understanding how badly we failed is not only an inevitable part of the “told you so” process but, more important, a lesson for next time. Just ask the Swedes. Sweden had zero excess deaths associated with COVID-19. The United States had the most excess deaths of all nations. New York had more than Florida. That’s the whole story right there in a handful of words.

The projection of 100 million potential infections is an estimate based on a range of outside models that are being closely tracked by the administration and would include both the fall and winter, a senior administration official told CNN. Officials say this estimate is based on an underlying assumption of no additional resources or extra mitigation measures being taken, including new Covid-19 funding from Congress, or dramatic new variants.

2021 was a great year for “conspiracy theorists.” For the past two years, Democratic politicians, the corporate media, and Big Tech have embarked on the largest censorship campaign in American history to shut down any speech that contradicted the guidelines from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci. In the first few months of the pandemic alone, Facebook censored more than 7 million posts with “Coronavirus misinformation.” However, time tends to benefit the truth. In the end, it turned out that the...

WALL Street executive Edward Dowd alleges the Covid crisis was manufactured to solve governments’ out of control debt crises. His 20 years’ experience with high-profile financial crashes alerted him to a potential underlying fraud being used to wipe the books clean. Dowd watched the 1990s internet dotcom bubble burst and witnessed the 2008 global recession caused by fraudulent trading in the US property market, so has a nose for these things. And with governments still saddled with debt from both those disasters (the UK’s public debt is £2.1trillion, double pre-2008, while the US debt had tripled at $30trillion) something mighty...

I've heard this many times. Here's a video on it. What are your experiences with this?Steve KirschMar 22 Watch this very short video which explains why insurance companies may not cover you if you die from taking an EUA vaccine: They can rule it a suicide or simply not cover it since it is an EUA vaccine.If you have personal experience with this in the US, please let us know in the comments.

The Biden administration will significantly loosen federal mask-wearing guidelines to protect against COVID-19 transmission on Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter, meaning most Americans will no longer be advised to wear masks in indoor public settings. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday will announce a change to the metrics it uses to determine whether to recommend face coverings, shifting from looking at COVID-19 case counts to a more holistic view of risk from the coronavirus to a community. Under current guidelines, masks are recommended for people residing in communities of substantial or high transmission...

Matt Le Tissier felt a responsibility to speak out after a 5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA players in 2021. British soccer legend and sports commentator Matt Le Tissier spoke out during an interview with Oracle films about the many athletes who have collapsed or died on the playing field. He had never seen anything like it in the 17 years he had played the sport. The famous athlete is calling for an investigation into the cause of athletes failing health, most of whom have received the Covid “vaccines.” Matt Le Tissier felt a responsibility to...

President Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force on Wednesday side-stepped decisions by Democrat governors to lift mask mandates across the country, recommending most Americans remain masked in public indoor settings. “At this time we continue to recommend masking in areas of high and substantial transmission,” Centers for Disease Control Dr. Rochelle Walensky stated during a press briefing. “That’s most of the country right now.”

In 2013, American virologist Ralph Baric approached Zhengli Shi at a meeting. Shi had detected the genome of a new virus, called SHC014, that was one of the two closest relatives to the original SARS virus, but her team had not been able to culture it in the lab. Baric had developed a way around that problem—a technique for “reverse genetics” in coronaviruses. Not only did it allow him to bring an actual virus to life from its genetic code, but he could mix and match parts of multiple viruses. He wanted to take the “spike” gene from SHC014 and...

The tally for how much the federal government spent to combat COVID-19 is now estimated to be $5 trillion. It is more than the combined costs of World Wars I and II. The left is celebrating that politicians in Washington saved us. Really? From what exactly? Two years later, it is time for an honest assessment. Could things have worsened for the country if the government had spent nothing and done nothing? What would have happened if we had not shut down our businesses? Our churches, schools, and restaurants. Our parks, basketball courts, and playgrounds. Would the public have made...

Last week, China Daily published an article that perfectly encapsulates the magical thinking taking place worldwide around Covid-19 vaccines. Titled “Plea for jabs even as Africa infections trend lower,” the piece described how African “health experts” are “stepping up calls for more people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in a bid to ward off future outbreaks even as trends point to a decline in the growth rate for new infections.” That’s right, despite a clear downward trend in mostly-mild OMICRON cases, “health experts” want MORE “jabs.” And adding even more to the cognitive dissonance here are the reasons they cite...

Howard Stern used to be this hardcore, edgy guy. If you were looking for someone who bucked the system and went rogue, Howard was your guy. He was a fighter for free speech and was actually fired several times for standing up for the First Amendment. Howard was brave and courageous. But that man no longer exists. Howard Stern is now a big pharma/government stooge, who is so scared of his own shadow and filled with so much hate and bitterness, he can hardly see straight. Now, instead of fighting for the little guy, you can often find Howard lashing...

REPORT: Peter Daszak Worked For CIA, EcoHealth Alliance Is A 'CIA Front Organization'EcoHealth Alliance Associate Vice President Dr. Andrew Huff recently claimed that EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak, who conducted gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, told him he was working for the Central Intelligence Agency. Dr. Andrew Huff, PhD, MS, publicly stated on January 12 that EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak confessed to him that he was working for the Central Intelligence Agency, and further stated his belief that EcoHealth Alliance was a “CIA front organization.” Huff received his Ph.D. in Environmental Health...

Thursday wasn't a good day for resident Joe Biden. First, the Supreme Court shouted "LET'S GO BRANDON" by killing his prized private-employer vaccine mandate. Then Democrat Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema destroyed his dreams of banning voter ID to ensure one party rule in America. After hearing all that bad news, I'm guessing Biden put a lid on it and headed for the White House basement where his wife prepared baby food, fed him milk from a bottle and then tucked him in with his favorite blankie. But we can't afford to rest because of two short-lived victories. We...

"Late on Thursday, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to block vaccine mandates for private companies with 100 or more employees. However – the mandate for healthcare workers in Medicare and Medicaid funded facilities was upheld 5-4. Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh sided with more liberal Justices Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor. The mandate for federal employees hasn’t gotten the warm welcome Biden had hoped for. Some federal employees have decided to fight back. On Thursday, a group called “Feds For Medical Freedom” announced they will be marching in protest of the Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates for federal employees. ..."

Covid Chaos: Conspiracy or Reality? (Part 1) – Twila Brase and Marjorie Holsten Jan Markell hosts a health expert, Twila Brase, and an attorney, Marjorie Holsten, to talk about Covid chaos. One health expert, Dr. Peter McCullough, calls the vaccine the “biggest biological disaster in human history.” Why are truth-tellers called sensational or conspiratorial? Hear first-hand stories of Covid abuse and needless deaths happening in hospitals. Has it become legal and profitable to let patients die? Calling this two-year nightmare a “plandemic” only draws scorn.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson takes questions in parliament, London, on Wednesday, January 12. The session comes after Johnson was accused of a breach of lockdown rules on Monday night, with a leaked email showing that one of his top officials invited more than 100 Downing Street staff to a party on May 20, 2020. The Metropolitan Police has said it is in contact with the government over 'widespread reporting relating to alleged breaches' of COVID-19 rules at the time. ...
