18 reasons I won’t be getting a COVID vaccineI don’t know everything, but so far no one has been able to answer the objections below. So here are the reasons I’m opting out of the COVID vaccineLifeSiteNews does not necessarily agree with all the opinions in this article, but believes that it presents a great deal of crucial information and is a valuable contribution to this issue. April 16, 2021 (TRUE Whole Human) – A few friends have asked my thoughts on the COVID jab(s) so I thought it was time to write an article on the topic. Knowing how...

John Coleman says Al Gore started it — the “global warming silliness.” But now the retired weatherman and founder of The Weather Channel is “horrified” to see San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer channeling the ex-veep with a Climate Action Plan. It “just turns my stomach.” John Coleman left KUSI in April 2014 after 20 years as meteorologist. “I think he saw money and power, and I don’t know what else he thought of it,” Coleman says of the Republican mayor. “I can’t believe he really [felt he] was going to save the city from some terrible fate.” Coleman, 82, laughs...

Roughly 1,700 private planes will head to Davos, Switzerland for the 2015 World Economic Forum. That doesn’t include commercial air travel or any other method of transit to the conference. Ironically, the top article featured on the “Agenda” section of the World Economic Forum website on Jan. 19, boldly stated that “[d]ecarbonising the global economy in a matter of decades is the number one priority.” According to Newsweek, former vice president Al Gore will be speaking at Davos “to stress the importance of tackling climate change.”

Newt Gingrich racked up between $1.6 and $1.8 million in payments from Freddie Mac through the years for, the former speaker maintains, essentially doing nothing. It’s not inconceivable that he’s right. Such was the incredible largesse available to the government-sponsored mortgage giant that one or two million dollars over the course of a decade was practically chump change. Gingrich says he didn’t lobby for Freddie, and, in response to a question about his payments at one of the Republican debates, said he only offered advice to Freddie “as a historian” that its lending practices were insane. Surely, though, there must...

As white supremacist Eugene Terreblanche is buried, the dangerously charismatic Julius Malema threatens the country's future. We are not here to mourn the white supremacist Eugene Terreblanche, whose funeral took place yesterday, but since his name is on the world's lips, let's face the truth: the saddest thing about his murder last weekend is that it obscured an event that casts an infinitely darker shadow. The event took place in Zimbabwe, and involved, as fate would have it, Julius Malema, the ANC Youth League leader whose repeated singing of an old struggle song about shooting Boers is viewed by many...

WASHINGTON -- As financial markets tumbled and the government worked to stave off panic by pumping billions of dollars into banks last fall, several members of Congress who oversee the banking industry were grabbing up or dumping bank stocks. Anticipating bargains or profits or just trying to unload before the bottom fell out, these members of the House Financial Services Committee or brokers on their behalf were buying and selling stocks including Bank of America and Citigroup -- some of the very corporations their committee would later rap for greed, a Plain Dealer examination of congressional stock market transactions shows....

A loose coalition of liars, profiteers, political panderers, conspiracy theorists, anti-Semitics, terrorist sympathizers, cyber thrill seekers, anti-Americans, and the mentally ill is growing and congealing in America. They allege terrorists did not attack the United States on 9/11; President Bush and the “neocons” did it or the Jews did it or both did it. Their fallback theory is the Bush administration extensively knew about the 9/11 plot by terrorists and just let 9/11 happen so they could aggressively pursue a war on terror. For the conspiracy coalition's main claim, they have virtually conjured from the thin blue 9/11 air a...

Outrage of the Day On September 11, both TNT and CNN Headline News chose to air a sick commercial for a moonbat conspiracy web site, claiming that the World Trade Center was blown up on purpose with controlled detonations: Why would TNT think this was a good day to air this? Bad language at link

There has been no hesitation in the historical record to refer to industries producing armaments as "war profiteers". Generally, that label had been reserved for industries or individuals that benefit from the inevitable shortages of necessities consequential to a protracted and destructive conflict. The implication is that branded industries and individuals have an interest in promoting war for gain and opposing efforts for peaceful resolution. Liberals have given us a new breed of war profiteers as well as retaining some of the old. In the best tradition of the New York World and the New York Morning Journal, it was...

CANNES AND THE HYENAS’ FESTIVAL By: Jesús J. Chao 5/25/04 Michael Moore brought to their feet the adoring European elites with his accustomed diatribes, defamations and wild attacks against President Bush and the American traditions and values. The jubilant reaction of the privileged European and Hollywood elites in attendance to the Festival, says more about their own values than the alleged merits of Moore’s documentary. Accordingly, he received the longest standing ovation ever at the Cannes Festival, an spectacle bordering on collective hysteria. What makes it more loathsome, is that the French would be speaking German today if Americans had...

For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. MANAMA, Bahrain (Reuters) - If you want to shock your friends with tasteless trinkets, try some of the best sellers in souks from Bahrain to Baghdad, but beware the reaction. Crammed between plastic toys and fake designer watches in Manama's busy merchant district, the souvenir hunter can find Osama bin Laden T-shirts and a raft of items depicting the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York's World Trade Center. Iraqi money with Saddam Hussein's picture can also be snapped up. One of the boldest items on sale in the shops of...
