Thank you, Dr. Brian C. Joondeph, for your article on aspirin as a potential part of the covid treatment regimen. And for mentioning ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as similar safe and potentially very effective therapeutics. Here are a couple more to be considered. (Please note that I am not a physician, and I am not dispensing medical advice. I’m just commenting on publicly available information.) Bromhexine, an ingredient found in some cough suppressants, may work due to its protease-inhibitor functions, according to a paper released in May 2020. It appears to have use as both a prophylactic and a treatment. A...

The Vienna Tourist Board has just opened an account on OnlyFans, saying that the platform, mainly known for adult content, remained the only place where nude artworks from the city’s museums could get “the freedom they deserve.” The Austrian capital is “home to some of the world’s most famous artworks, many containing nudity. The most prominent social networks have policies in place that ban or censor such works,” the tourist board explained. Vienna has been teasing its move to subscription-based OnlyFans on other platforms with a clip showing the more decent parts of the works by Peter Paul Rubens, Egon...

Conservative radio host Dan Bongino gave his network an on-air ultimatum, warning Cumulus Radio concerning vaccine mandates that “you can’t have both of us.”The former police officer and Secret Service agent presented the challenge as part of his live radio program on Monday.“You can have me or you can have the [vaccine] mandate. But you can’t have both of us,” Bongino said during his nationwide radio program.“Imagine the countless number of individuals trying to explain. Have these companies ever thought of that? The countless numbers of moms and dads who are sitting at some kitchen table explaining to their kids...

President Joe Biden’s first 10 months in office has been a series of clusters, one right after the other and some simultaneous, from him bizarrely handing off the southern border crisis to his infamously inept Vice President Kamala Harris, to his gross mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic, the catastrophic and deadly failures of his Afghanistan exit strategy, the inflation woes brought on by his disastrous handling of the economy, and everything in between. All of these are crises that are still playing out in real-time as we speak and with no end in sight.But in the midst of us all...

The rape of Loudon County, Virginia parent Scott Smith’s daughter by a biological male wearing a skirt in the girl’s school restroom shows the wisdom of President Trump reversed the Biden/Obama administration’s “guidance” to schools and educators to permit transgender restrooms. The move was condemned as bigotry when it is just common sense. You don’t tempt fate. You don’t store flammables next to an open flame and you don’t have boys using the girls' restroom. Loudon County officials were well aware of the history of cross-gender restroom assaults as they considered their transgender restroom policy, particularly the rape of Scott...

Less than a week after CNN scrambled to do damage control after their chief medical correspondent was wrecked by Joe Rogan over Ivermectin lies, the network may have another fire to put out… Indeed, days after anchor Don Lemon attempted to salvage CNN‘s reputation over Sanjay Gupta’s truth outburst with Rogan, host Brian Stelter made the mistake of allowing former NYT Editor Bari Weiss on air to discuss examples of why the world has gone mad. Stelter’s first mistake was having Weiss on his show, “Reliable Sources.” His second mistake was asking her to elaborate on what she means when...

The price of pretty much everything is rising precipitously. The CPI for September came in above expectations with a month-on-month increase of 0.4%. Peter Schiff appeared on Unfiltered with Dan Bongino to talk about inflation in Joe Biden’s America. Peter said you should stock up now because things could get ugly really quickly. Bongino pointed out that while wages are rising, they aren’t rising as fast as prices. Wages have risen 4.6% while inflation has surged by 5.4% — according to government numbers. Peter said that is typically the trend. The price of labor never keeps up with the price...

For every cloud, there really is a silver lining. And in a time of near-universal madness driving scientifically unjustified vaccine mandates, such a silver lining has made itself plain to me; perhaps it has done the same for you… These mandates have forced our hand. They have forced us to choose sides. I know that their pressure has forced many to choose out of fear–that’s the unfortunate part. But choosing–driven by reason instead–is good. The entities and corporations driving the mandates are shortsighted at best, and downright evil at worst. Consider that we have chosen to work for these entities,...

The National Theatre of Scotland has banned the word “spooky” over its “racial connotations” despite nobody complaining and despite there being no record of it ever being used as a racial slur in the United Kingdom. Yes, really. “A source at the Scottish theatre told the Daily Record that no one has complained about the term “spooky” but they were concerned the word could become problematic in the future,” reports RT. So based on the prospect that somebody, somewhere, might be offended in the future by a completely non-controversial word, it has to be banned. Apparently, the word “spooky” may...

In a detailed and heartfelt video, a Washington woman shared her experience from living an active lifestyle to becoming gravely ill just days after receiving her second shot of the abortion-tainted mRNA jab from Pfizer. Shelly Sytsma, 60, submitted a video testimony to No More Silence, a website dedicated to sharing stories of real people who have suffered debilitating adverse events after taking one of the experimental shots for COVID-19. The website features 213 unique stories of injury from people in 17 countries. A spokesperson for No More Silence told LifeSiteNews that everyone featured on the site goes through an...

Boston Pride is one of the oldest gay-rights organizations in the United States, with its first parade having taken place in 1971. Last year would have marked the 50th parade, but the event was cancelled due to the pandemic. This year’s events also didn’t materialize, but not entirely because of COVID-19. Rather, Boston Pride celebrated a half-century-plus of existence by collapsing into social panic and cancelling itself. I mean this literally: Boston Pride no longer exists. The organization was dissolved from within in July, when its board of directors released a statement that read, in part: "It is clear to...

On my recent article concerning factors to consider if moving overseas, reader Deus Valt took exception to my broad statement that the USA was out of the question as a destination to flee to. The USA is unacceptable? Methinks that is too broad a brush Bro.

This is my story...My name is Chantal, I'm a 37 year old Police Officer from Western Australia and I had a severe reaction after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. To the people who threatened me with defamation charges and disciplinary action for telling my story, I am disappointed. I'm disappointed that your priority is to silence me for your own ego and agenda rather than ask if I'm ok and offer me any help!. At no time have you asked if I'm ok or cared for a second about my health or welfare. You decided that putting me under more stress...

The central statistic in this whistleblower story is important. In a community with a 50% vaccination rate, 90% of the hospital admissions were vaccinated patients, and most of the critical care hospital intakes were within 14 days of the patient taking the vaccine. An alarmed physicians assistant began reporting those issues into the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting system until the hospital administration stepped in to stop her from recording the frequency. She felt obligated to become a whistleblower:“Deborah Conrad, a hospitalist physicians assistant on the frontlines of the pandemic, pulls back the curtain on the complete lack and disregard in...

I played a lot of Off Road, Defender, Battlezone, Astro Blaster, Galaga in the Golden age. I know a few people who collect and refurb pinball machines, but I was never coordinated enough to play those so I have no favorite, but I appreciate the art and mechanism as I may a fine watch or automobile.

Joe Biden is officially the oldest man to ever be president, as he hits 79 in November, and the White House does not appear to be fond of answering certain questions about him. For example, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki recently danced around answering questions about his upcoming physical examination and his health status. As her daily press briefing wrapped on Thursday Brian Karem, who used to be the senior White House correspondent for Playboy magazine, shouted a question at Psaki. Q Hey Jen, will he take a physical anytime soon and report it to the American public? MS....

A meme-inspired song based on the anti-Biden chant "Let's Go Brandon!" roared at popular sports events across America is rapidly taking over the internet and is currently sitting at the number one spot on the iTunes hip-hop chart The song is performed by rapper Loza Alexander, and its title is "Let's Go Brandon." In the song's choruses, a voice repeatedly chants the iconic anti-Biden mantra and is immediately followed by a sample of a crowd chanting the original line, the more rough-and-ready "F*ck Joe Biden." Alexander can be seen in the video wearing a red MAGA-style hat with white lettering...
