On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments concerning the City of Boston’s refusal to allow a private organization to fly a Christian flag on a flagpole next to City Hall that was routinely made available to any private organization that applied to do so. The case is Shurtleff v. City of Boston. The case presented a stunning example of a city censoring only Christian speech while allowing speech by a host of other private organizations. The City of Boston flies the American flag and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts flag every day, but there are two other flag poles that sometimes hold […]
The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has partnered with a Virginia-based private identification firm which requires a facial recognition selfie among other things, in order to create or access online accounts with the agency. According to KrebsonSecurity, the IRS announced that by the summer of 2022, the only way to log into irs.gov will be through ID.me. Founded by former Army Rangers in 2010, the McLean-based company has evolved to providing online ID verification services which several states are using to help reduce unemployment and pandemic-assistance fraud. The company claims to have 64 million users. Some 27 states already use ID.me […]

Half of the country does not believe that businesses should be able to mandate coronavirus vaccines for customers, an Economist/YouGov survey released this week found. The survey asked respondents, “Do you believe businesses should be allowed to mandate vaccines for their customers?” Fifty percent said “no,” they should not be allowed to do so, followed by 38 percent who said “yes” and 12 percent who said they are “not sure.” Additionally, a plurality of respondents, 45 percent, said that K-12 schools should not be allowed to mandate vaccines for students, compared to 43 percent who said they should.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Thursday repeatedly confronted White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over President Joe Biden’s voting-rights comments during the day prior’s White House briefing. The relentless grilling Psaki received on the airwaves of CNN—a network she once worked for as an on-air contributor—was in stark contrast to the surprisingly friendly and congenial conversation she had just hours earlier on conservative cable giant Fox News. Tapper, who was highly critical of the president’s remarks following Biden’s marathon presser on Wednesday, kicked off Thursday afternoon’s interview by questioning Psaki’s recent clean-up attempt. “This morning you said President Biden ‘was not […]

(Natural News) The 1986 nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power facility — located in modern-day Ukraine which was at that time part of the Soviet Union — killed an estimated 50 people from acute radiation poisoning, possibly another 9,000 from thyroid poisoning due to radiation, and an estimated 125,000 additional people whose lives were shortened due to cancer caused by radiation fallout. (That 125,000 number was released by the Govt. of Ukraine, years later.)

STUTTGART, Germany – Amid the global race toward a militarized space domain, NATO sees its role firmly planted as a coordinator and interlocutor amidst its member states, but demurs from becoming a space-based actor itself, a recently released document shows. For the past several years, leaders from the alliance and its 30 member states have declared space an operational domain, trumpeting the need for more holistic and coordinated technology investments. NATO’s “overarching space policy” – which was established in 2019 but made publicly available for the first time on Monday – represents a big step for the alliance to finally codify […]
By Peter C. Earle In 2021, we saw the unwinding of a number of policies and practices put in place in 2020, as well as the reversal of certain trends. Even as some states cast off lockdowns, compulsory masking, and other pandemic policies, others lifted and reapplied stringent measures time and time again. Even in the last weeks of the year there remained some policymakers acting as if it were February 2020. Political rifts in American society seem as deep and divisive as they’ve been in the living memory. Inflation is back, the current administration is being pilloried in polls, transportation […]

It’s titled, “Should the government control the price of food and gas?” Throughout the piece, author Charles Riley looks into the history of price controls both within the past 100 years and of more recent note as well. The basic question behind the article is this: because of rampant inflation “should governments consider setting the price of essential goods?” While […]

However, those who had been infected with an earlier variant of the coronavirus, but hadn’t been vaccinated, were between 15 and 29 times less likely to catch the virus. A similar difference was noticed in hospitalization rates, with prior immunity conferring better protection against hospitalization than vaccination. Despite its disadvantage compared […]

Update (1330ET): Following this morning’s print showing that 2021 saw the best annual existing home sales since 2006, MishTalk’s Mike Shedlock asks the question everyone should be asking as prices hit record-er and record-er prices – what will it take to sink the housing market? Sales are hot thanks to cheap money from the Fed, rising rent prices, speculation, fear of missing out, three rounds of fiscal stimulus, and a booming stock market. It’s difficult to put a percentage on each of those factors but they all tie together. If the Fed gets in 3 or 4 rate hikes, mortgage rates […]

(Natural News) A new bill being proposed in Illinois would give the state’s Department of Health full control over the “Immunization Data Registry,” which contains all of the injection records of the state’s residents. On January 19, the proposed legislation was brought up in a committee for a hearing, though most Illinoisans have no idea it even exists, let alone what it entails. The advocacy group Awake Illinois has issued an Action Alert calling on members of the public to fill out a witness slip as an opponent to the legislation. Awake Illinois is also asking people to pick […]

Actor and superyacht enthusiast Leonardo DiCaprio told Deadline planet Earth has “literally” nine years left on its “ticking clock,” and that “we should not have any elected leaders, on a state level, on a city level, or a national level that don’t listen to science.” In the Titanic star’s latest Netflix film Don’t Look Up, two astronomers (played by DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence) go on a media tour to warn mankind of an approaching comet that will destroy Earth. But instead of taking the astronomers seriously, the comet becomes politicized. The film goes on to make several thinly veiled references to the Trump administration, and poke fun of […]
ARLINGTON, Va. — Steps by Lockheed Martin to virtualize its Aegis Combat System are helping underpin the U.S. Navy’s vision for its future integrated combat system as well as the Pentagon’s vision for joint all-domain operations. Past investments in the Aegis Common Source Library, or CSL, are paying dividends now, said Joe DePietro, Lockheed’s vice president and general manager for naval combat and missile defense systems. It’s become increasingly easy to take software for Aegis and for the Ship Self-Defense System and run that code from suitcase-sized computers. The CSL was established in 2012 and has since expanded from the original […]

By Tyler Durden Overwhelmed supply chains and truck driver shortages worsened when Canada imposed new border mandates prohibiting unvaccinated American truckers. With low vaccination rates among US drivers, Canadian supermarkets are already reporting rising food inflation and shortages of certain products, according to Bloomberg. Canada’s vaccine mandate for truckers came into effect on Saturday. The new rule requires US truckers to be vaccinated to cross the border. We warned earlier this week such a mandate would have “consequences.” The vaccine mandate has exacerbated the shortage of truck drivers and made wait times at border crossings even longer. Eighty percent of trade […]
After the worst start to a year for the Nasdaq since 2008… … stocks are finally rebounding solidly and are posting what may be the strongest day for markets in 2022. But the question on everyone’s mind is whether the solid early action will persist. Indeed, as JPM writes in its market summary note today, “today’s pre-market setup is similar to yesterday. Let’s see if we can hold pre-market gains throughout the session as yesterday afternoon felt like systematic selling. If 1.90% was a buy-level in bonds, then we may have a relief rally being initiated led by Tech.” However, as […]
NASA’s Hubble telescope captures ‘nursery’ of newborn stars connected by an ‘umbilical cord’ to a black hole in a nearby galaxy A black hole has been observed “triggering the birth” of new stars in a nearby dwarf galaxy, suggesting that the mysterious cosmic phenomena are more than just “villainous” destructive objects that violently consume everything around them. Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, researchers spotted the black hole at the heart of a galaxy known as Henize 2-10, located some 30 million light years away in the Pyxis constellation. The black hole is apparently adding to the “firestorm of new star formation” […]

His indictment marked the first time in U.S. history that a journalist has been charged for publishing truthful information. […]
Set up last July, the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack has spent months investigating the 6 January 2021 riots at the US Capitol complex, subpoenaing tens of thousands of pages of documents and demanding testimony from dozens of Trump administration officials.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki marked the one-year anniversary of President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Thursday by walking into the lion’s den. For the first time in her role as Biden’s top flack, she appeared on a Fox News weekday show. Those expecting a knock-down, drag-out fight between the spokesperson and Fox anchors, however, would have been left largely disappointed. In the end, the 13-minute interview was a mostly friendly affair that ended with light questioning and well-wishes for Psaki’s favorite NFL team. Co-anchors Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino kicked off the lengthy chat on Thursday morning with some friendly […]

Last night Democrats were unable to change the rules of the US Senate in order to pass their Freedom to Cheat bill. Their proposed legislation would have eliminated voter ID, prevented states from cleaning voter rolls, would have allowed for ballots to be turned in days after the election, and would have allowed for illegal ballot harvesting. It would have destroyed elections in the country and they knew this. That’s why they wanted it and the fake news media promoted it. The vote failed 52-48 with Democrats Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema joining Republicans in the vote. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) […]
Comments from Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) — the panel’s vice chair — earlier this month to ABC News could provide some clues on what they plan to ask. She said the committee had testimony about the daughter of Donald Trump. “I think it’s also important for the American people to understand how dangerous Donald Trump was,” Cheney said, explaining that the committee knew that many people on Jan. 6, 2021 were “pleading with him to go on television, to tell people to stop.” “We know [Minority] Leader [Kevin] McCarthy was pleading with him to do that. We know members of his […]
The White House spent Thursday morning trying to clean up comments President Joe Biden made questioning the legitimacy of the 2022 midterms. “Lets be clear: The president was not casting doubt on the legitimacy of the 2022 election,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki wrote on social media. Lets be clear: @potus was not casting doubt on the legitimacy of the 2022 election. He was making the opposite point: In 2020, a record number of voters turned out in the face of a pandemic, and election officials made sure they could vote and have those votes counted. — Jen Psaki (@PressSec) […]
Improved range calculation, infrared vision, target tracking and more await troops in the new optic recently chosen for the Next Generation Squad Weapon. How soldiers see their downrange target, from basic grunt to advanced sniper, is about to go high-tech. The Army recently announced its selection of Vortex Optics/Sheltered Wings as the producer of its Next Generation Squad Weapon Fire Control on a $2.7 billion, 10-year contract for 250,000 devices. Traditional optics essentially just magnify the sight picture for the shooter and provide a reticle to align a sight to the target for better accuracy than what iron sights can provide. […]
AREP, a multidisciplinary architecture agency, created a cooling system prototype based on the history, culture and original designs used by ancient civilizations.

At a local level, the system works to naturally cool the air through an evaporation process. It’s energy-efficient since there’s no energy required to implement the adiabatic principle. […]
By Walter Block What is happening with our supply chains? They seem very rusty, if not altogether broken. There are numerous ships at several California ports waiting patiently to be unloaded. We are talking thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of gigantic railroad car sized containers, all just sitting there; well, floating there. Meanwhile, our supermarket shelves are sometimes as much as half empty. Grocers are all too often out of the foodstuffs and other things we used to take for granted. A similar situation took place a while ago. Supermarkets in West Germany were chock full of products. In East Germany? […]

Two months after Dave Portnoy debunked allegations by Business Insider that he had non-consensual rough sex with several women, the Barstool Sports founder announced on Thursday that Insider is back at it – and has scrounged up more accusers for a second hit-piece. Except, Dave has more receipts… To review, after Insider published a November article accusing the multi-millionaire of sexual abuse, Portnoy brought receipts in the form of text messages which made clear the accusers continued wanting dick from Portnoy, or thought they could somehow leverage their encounters for personal gain. On Thursday, Portnoy warned Insider that he’s got more […]

The establishment media handed President Joe Biden negative reviews after his press conference Wednesday, the sixth reported solo presser of his presidency. As the oftentimes Democrat-allied media have tried to protect the president from his gaffes, miscues, and overt blunders by avoiding certain topics while focusing on others, many of the establishment media’s headlines after his two-hour press conference were negative. “As one Joe builds, another Joe destroys,” a Washington Post op-ed headlined about the press conference. The article used language such as, “Biden admitted defeat” and “Biden found himself negotiating with President Manchin through the assembled reporters.” “It’s time for him [Biden] […]
WASHINGTON – The National Reconnaissance Office has issued contracts to five synthetic aperture radar satellite operators as the intelligence agency continues to look at how these commercial capabilities can be integrated into its missions.

The NRO declined to reveal the value of the contracts. “We are very pleased with the response to the first focus area under our new [broad agency announcement],” said NRO Director Chris Scolese in a statement. “We know that users across the National System for Geospatial Intelligence are eager to explore commercial […]
By Matt Agorist Since March of 2020, Americans and the world alike have watched from the sidelines as power-hungry politicians have ushered in draconian lockdowns, shutdowns, police state measures, and brought the economy to its knees. While governments around the planet used their central banks to devalue their currencies by printing money to fund their tyranny, the US led the way down this road to fiscal horror. Thanks to the trillions of dollars the Federal Reserve has printed over the last two years, America is currently in an inflation crisis. One need only look at the price of groceries over the […]
Surgeons at the University of Alabama at Birmingham reported an incredible marvel in medicine on Thursday: For the first time ever, they had successfully transplanted kidneys from a genetically modified pig into the body of a 57-year-old brain-dead man. The new breakthrough, reported in the American Journal of Transplantation, is a milestone in the quest to find a solution to organ transplant shortages that affect millions. The surgeons removed the patient’s own kidneys and replaced them with the pig kidneys in a fairly standard procedure (besides the whole pig thing). Just 23 minutes after they were implanted into the abdomen, the […]
