This week marked the anniversary of one of the greatest political tricks in history: the disappearance of Hunter Biden scandal. New emails were released that added new details to what was a raw influence peddling operation that netted millions from foreign sources. A new tranche of emails connecting President Joe Biden to key accounts proves just how this political sleight of hand was worthy of Houdini. After all, Houdini only made an elephant disappear. The Bidens made the equivalent to an entire circus disappear in front of an audience of millions.How Houdini made his 10,000 pound elephant Jennie disappear every...

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), said that the United States still does not have an FDA-approved vaccine for COVID as he exposed what was really approved by the government agency on “Fox News Primetime.” The FDA put out a fact-sheet on the Pfizer-BioNTech and Comirnaty vaccines. That’s plural, because one is not the other and the FDA even makes that distinction on their fact-sheet. On the fact-sheet, Pfizer says that the FDA approved the Comirnaty vaccine which was created by Pfizer for the company BioNTech. BioNTech has said that it will not be made available until 2023 or possibly 2024. Title...

Victims of abuse within France’s Catholic Church welcomed a historic turning point Tuesday after a new report estimated that 330,000 children in France were sexually abused over the past 70 years, providing the country’s first accounting of the worldwide phenomenon. The figure includes abuses committed by some 3,000 priests and an unknown number of other people involved in the church — wrongdoing that Catholic authorities covered up over decades in a “systemic manner,” according to the president of the commission that issued the report, Jean-Marc Sauvé.

DEL RIO, TX—After horrific images surfaced showing horseback Border Patrol agents patrolling the border while on horseback, President Biden’s Secretary of Horses has temporarily revoked their privilege of doing their job while riding horses. “Until the agents learn to behave in a manner that doesn't call attention to one of Biden’s many disasters, they cannot ride any horses, and must instead use these.” He then held up two empty coconut halves, demonstrating how they sound like horse hooves when banged together. A journalist from CNN asked if the sound was coming from a real horse. Border agent Bob Arthur expressed...

Embattled state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker will step down from his position as soon as a replacement can be found, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Thursday. Zucker was a key figure in the administration of disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo, where critics charged he played a central role in its efforts to minimize and disguise the pandemic’s death toll across the state and in its nursing homes. “He understands that, in this time, I’ve wanted to take the first 45 days to assemble a new team going forward,” Hochul said, announcing Zucker’s departure. “That process is ongoing, and he understands and he...

HEATHER BRESCH, the former president and CEO of the drugmaker Mylan, worked directly with the CEO of Pfizer to keep prices of the company’s EpiPen product artificially high, according to new documents released as part of an ongoing lawsuit.The documents also show Bresch approving a scheme to force customers, captured by the company’s monopoly, to purchase two EpiPens at once, regardless of medical need. The EpiPen is an auto-injectable device that injects epinephrine into the body and can be the difference between life or death for a person suffering a severe allergic reaction.The documents were released as part of an...

The head of the country’s largest LGBTQ advocacy group defiantly tweeted Sunday that he will not resign over his role in ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s attempts at damage control amid a sexual harassment scandal. Alphonso David - who took over the Human Rights Campaign after serving as Cuomo’s chief counsel from 2015 to 2019 - claimed in his statement that he had been asked to step down even after an independent review found “no indication of wrongdoing.” “The board co-chairs have now asked me to consider resigning, not because of any wrongdoing, but because they feel the incident has been a...

Most media are giving ample coverage to Texas’ COVID woes, as the Delta variant has hospitals running out of ICU beds. But few reports note how President Joe Biden’s border disaster is helping drive the crisis. US border agents encountered nearly 189,000 migrants in June alone, the latest in a string of record-setting months. And the Biden administration is releasing many of these illegal entrants into the interior. Plus, that surge surely means a similarly huge rise in migrants who never get caught. Especially since Team Biden won’t let Texas authorities do any immigration enforcement of their own. More than...

Andrew Cuomo’s resignation, as far as I’m concerned, was long overdue.I’m thrilled to see his fall from grace. It is much deserved. But I can’t help thinking he resigned for the wrong scandal.While his abhorrent behavior merited his resignation, another scandal should have brought him down much sooner.On March 25, 2020, Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept patients regardless of their coronavirus status. While it was still early in the pandemic, it was known even then that the elderly were more vulnerable to the virus. The policy was a disaster in the making, yet Cuomo defended it. Nursing homes...

In what is sure to be a crippling blow to Critical Race Theory advocates, a recent decision in the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals tested CRT and found it unconstitutional. ...

Over the last year, teachers and administrators nationwide have weaponized K-12 education, injecting progressive politics into classrooms, and indoctrinating students with novel social justice dogma, including theories that call for racialized curriculums and reverse discrimination to achieve racial equity. Mainstream media outlets and left-wing commentators have accused conservatives of demonizing critical race theory, and turning an obscure academic theory into a rightwing “bogeyman.” But there sure are a lot of examples of it turning up in schools across the country, from big city Democratic strongholds to suburban districts in red America. The following are summaries of just a small number...

Must have been a turbulent ride. CNN host Chris Cuomo caught a helicopter from the Hamptons back to New York City — just hours after his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was exposed as a serial sexual harasser in a damning official report. A source spotted Chris alone at the East Hampton airport around 6 p.m. Tuesday — and said the CNN anchor was scrolling through news about his older brother as he waited for his ride. “I saw the article from New York Post on his phone when I walked by,” the source said. Photos showed the 50-year-old “Cuomo Prime...

Jorge Bergoglio, numerous bishops, etc, have shown they are not the kind and caring proponents of Vatican II they made themselves out to be. The treatment Traditionalists receive from Vatican II types and modernists is how Antifa treats someone carrying the American flag or wearing a red MAGA hat. This was known by many, but now more see the truth. Bergoglio suspended the TLM but not clown masses, scantily-clad women dancing in NO masses, hip-hop and rock music playing during NO masses, etc. YT is literally overrun with videos showing these things occurring and a very substantial number are from...

BREAKING: Francis Curbs Growth Of Latin Mass With New Motu Proprio ...

As is now well known, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is currently under investigation by so many different offices for so many different scandals that it’s truly difficult to keep track of them all. And since he has to defend himself against these accusations, he needs a legal defense team. He’s already employed some of the best in the business and is reportedly in talks with some more. None of that comes cheap, however, so his legal fees will be adding up quickly. Not to worry! Cuomo will be just fine. That’s because the taxpayers are footing the bill for...

Spoiler: This show isn't about Floyd. It's about the Council of Trent. The Catholic Diocese of Dallas will hold a memorial Mass in honor of George Floyd. The event is hosted by the Diocese of Dallas's Interracial healing task force instituted by Bishop Burns. Dr. Taylor Marshall speaks of this briefly in light of the Canon of Trent's decree on Masses in honor or memory of saints. ...

A former White House adviser has been arrested and charged by the FBI with stealing $218,005 from charter schools he helped found. Seth Andrew, 42, served under former President Barack 0bama as a senior adviser in the Office of Educational Technology. He was arrested on charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements to a financial institution. Federal prosecutors said that he used more than half of the allegedly stolen money to maintain his bank account above a threshold that enabled him to get better interest rates for a mortgage of his multimillion Manhattan apartment. “As alleged, Seth...
