A Boston restaurant owner declared he’d rather take his chances with coronavirus than let his business go under. On Monday, North End Boston restaurateurs protested Governor Charlie Baker’s Phase 1 re-open guidelines, which did not set a date for dine-in re-openings. Monica’s Trattoria owner Frank Mendoza was among the demonstrators frustrated with the closure of his business, and pointed out he never once obeyed social distancing orders. “I haven’t social distanced in three months. I’ve come out every single day. I take my chances with God,” Mendoza divulged. “If I have to give up my business that I worked 25 years, […]
One of the great tragedies in America today is that of the CARES Act, which included a $1,200 stimulus check and an additional $600 weekly payment for the unemployed, has given millions of Americans their first real taste of socialism, that is the sweet taste of the forbidden fruit of free of money. The Trump administration has unleashed helicopter money directed at households that will have severe consequences. Not too long ago, we noted how government intervention, cushioning households from an economic depression, will prolong the recovery in the labor market as people get paid more to sit at home than work and be productive in society: “So don’t […]
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor interviewed by Press TV Mike Pompeo is warning that there will be consequences if the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigates Israel. It sounds like a gangster style warning. Warning about ‘consequences’ actually is often code for ‘we will kill you and your family’ among organized crime figures, and the people in politics who are basically organized crime types. A famous example is when Dick Cheney threatened that there would be the “most extreme consequences for yourself, and the state of Minnesota” to Paul Wellstone. He said if Paul Wellstone continued to pursue the path he […]
Ex-FBI director James Comey pushed to investigate Trump’s incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn despite lacking any evidence Flynn had shared classified info with Russian officials, a newly-declassified memo reveals. It was Comey who told President Barack Obama and other administration officials that “incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian Ambassador Kislyak” in a meeting documented in the January 2017 memo by National Security Advisor Susan Rice, the unredacted first page of which was obtained by CBS on Tuesday. The FBI director admits he “has no indication thus far that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak,” and no real basis […]

The US sanctioned a Shanghai-based firm Tuesday for allegedly working on behalf of Iran’s Mahan Air airliner, reports Anadolu Agency. The Treasury Department said Saint Logistics Limited was blacklisted for “acting as a general sales agent (GSA) for or on behalf of Iranian airline Mahan Air,” which Washington previously sanctioned in 2011 for its support of the external operations branch of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. A GSA is a third-party company that provides services to an airline. “The Iranian regime is using Mahan Air to support an illegitimate and corrupt regime in Venezuela, just as it has done for the […]
In Malakassa, Greece, local politicians and residents have criticised a move to house over 3,000 migrants in a camp next to the village of just 514 residents. The Greek government has placed over 2,000 migrants in the camp in Malakassa since March in what NGO Human Rights Watch labelled as “unsanitary and cramped conditions” and within another structure built for deportation, housing 1,180 migrants. According to the Municipality of Oropos where Malakassa is located, the original plans put forward in 2016 stated that only 400 migrants would be housed at the facility, newspaper Proto Thema reports. “Today, in violation of the agreement of […]

Yesterday, when digging a little deeper in the Moderna “coronavirus vaccine” press release and media frenzy, we asked if the company’s market moving “news” of a coronavirus vaccine wasn’t just one giant “bait and switch“, especially with the company – whose insiders are best known for consistently dumping their own stock… … immediately capitalizing on the massive move higher to sell over $1BN in MRNA shares. It appears that may indeed have been the case because moments ago StatNews (best known for peddling pro-Remdesivir articles every now and then, and also pushing the market higher using before someone refutes their “data”), […]
(Natural News) If your brain isn’t already bogged and fogged by fluoridated water, mercury-laced flu shots, and clogged up with mind-numbing canola oil, then you may be able to think this one through before it’s too late for you to. Today’s vaccines are corrupted, untested and dangerous, and the vaccine industry is paying out billions of dollars to keep it all on the hush, hush. You will never, ever see a case of the injured family on television or in any newspaper, talking about the nightmare of vaccine side effects, including autism, paralysis, coma and death. Here are the top 10 […]

A Montana burger chain that abruptly closed last summer amid allegations its owners— ministers at an evangelical Christian ranch—physically and emotionally abused its young staff has quietly reopened, sparking protests among residents who’ve had enough. MudMan, a chain of four fast-food joints serving monstrously large burgers, was part of a multimillion-dollar business empire led by Michael and Pam Rozell, who founded Potter’s Field Ministries. In July, the evangelical Christian organization, which includes an 80-acre ranch in picturesque Whitefish, was shut down by its sponsor church following a slew of allegations of verbal and emotional abuse against young people, inhumane working conditions, […]

Bitcoin has witnessed triple-digit percentage gains over the past two months. Yet, one metric has turned quite bullish after the recent halving event, showing signs the cryptocurrency remains undervalued and still has room to run. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is trading near $9,700 at press time, up 150% from its March 12 low of $3,867. And while that may cause some investors to think the cryptocurrency is overbought or overvalued, an on-chain metric called the “Puell Multiple”, which marked a price bottom in March, is suggesting otherwise. The Puell Multiple is calculated by dividing the daily issuance value of […]
Attorney Sidney Powell announced on Tuesday morning that Team Flynn has just delivered to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit a Petition for Writ of Mandamus to correct Judge Sullivan’s unauthorized actions. This comes after Judge Emmet Sullivan REFUSED to drop the case against General Flynn even though the US Government prosecutors dropped ALL CHARGES against the Three-Star General. The Barr Justice Department dropped its case against General Mike Flynn last Thursday after bombshell documents were released that proved he was framed by Comey’s FBI. But last Tuesday the Clinton-appointed Judge Emmet Sullivan made a dirty, political […]
Egypt on Tuesday registered 720 new coronavirus cases, the health ministry said in a statement, its highest daily toll since detecting the first confirmed case in February. The new cases brought the total infections to 13,484 cases, the ministry added in a statement. The country’s former daily record was 535 cases on Monday. Egypt recorded 14 deaths on Tuesday, the statement said bringing the total fatalities to 659. Nearly 3,750 people recovered and discharged from isolation hospitals.

Appearing Tuesday on MSNBC, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) attempted to dismiss growing accusations that his administration failed to protect nursing home residents during the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, asserting: “We did everything we could” and did not skip any “precautions.” A partial transcript is as follows: STEPHANIE RUHLE: You have been criticized for your comments about nursing homes. Some people say you did not act quickly enough, too little, too late. What is your response to that criticism? GOV. ANDREW CUOMO: I’m getting criticized now for doing too much.

In what appears to be yet another strike against public officials like LA County’s Barbara Ferrer – that is, Democrats and others who insist that lockdowns should continue perhaps until a vaccine has been discovered and that police should punish anyone who dares violate these orders – a study from the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that patients who test positive for COVID-19 after recovering from the illness appear to be shedding dead copies of the virus. That would suggest that these patients are not infectious, the scientists said, which helped dispel fears that some patients can […]
Yesterday morning, ahead of the torrid rally that sent the Dow Jones more than 1,000 points higher at one point, we warned that the “bulk of Wall Street institutions is once again positioned on the wrong side of today’s rally.” As we showed last Friday using the latest Deutsche Bank flow data… … both consolidated and systematic positioning was just off decade lows, while discretionary positioning – namely hedge funds and various other levered investors – continued to take down exposure going even further net short, and selling to retail investors all the way on the way up, assuming of course […]
The Foreign Ministry on Tuesday hit back against the European Union’s “megaphone diplomacy” after the bloc’s foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, again warned Jerusalem against the unilateral annexation of West Bank territory in a message congratulating the Jewish state on its new government. “The Israeli Foreign Ministry would like to thank the EU for their message congratulating Israel on the swearing-in of a new government,” spokesperson Lior Haiat said in a statement. “Israel and the EU share history, values, interests, opportunities and both face threats.

Audio recordings released by Ukrainian MP Andrii Derkach allegedly offer confirmation that Joe Biden pressured former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire an attorney general in exchange for a billion-dollar loan. Former top Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin filed a criminal complaint in January, alleging that Biden had strong-armed Poroshenko into firing him while he was running multiple investigations into the Burisma gas company where Biden’s son Hunter was a board member. Biden himself has boasted publicly that he gave Poroshenko an ultimatum to fire Shokin or the offer of the $1 billion in loan guarantees would be rescinded – but the […]

Barr’s decision earlier this month to seek to drop the Flynn case prompted one career prosecutor to withdraw from the case and led to complaints from more than 2,000 former Justice officials that political influence was interfering in the handling of criminal prosecutions. While prosecutors sometimes decide not to take a contested case to trial, Barr’s move to abandon the prosecution of Flynn was highly unusual because he had already pleaded guilty to a false statement charge brought by special counsel Robert Mueller back in 2017. Flynn reaffirmed his plea in front of Sullivan the following year. Flynn’s lawyers hailed the […]
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) on Monday signaled that he is open to a federal investigation into his administration’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak in nursing homes, as they comprise the majority of coronavirus deaths in the state. U.S. Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) called for a federal investigation into the administration’s handling of nursing homes, with questions swirling around the March guidance issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The controversial guidance essentially instructed nursing home patients to accept residents who tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus. Perry wrote in a letter to Deputy Inspector General Gary Cantrell last week: I […]

Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, A Covid-19 vaccine, or lack thereof, will have zero effect in terms of reversing these cycles. Call it Fate, call it karma, call it what you will, but the cycles have aligned and nothing can stop the unraveling of all that was foolishly presumed to be permanent. We like to think we’re in charge and that technology conquers all, but history moves in cycles that are larger than any person, corporation, elite or (gasp) technology. My first version of the chart below was drawn in 2008, when the Global Financial Meltdown revealed the cracks […]
(Natural News) Mandatory vaccines are “medical rape” in the sense that they violate your body against your consent, causing physical and psychological harm or even death. Those who advocate mandatory vaccines are medical rapists who are, in effect, committing acts of felony violence against an individual. (See full video, below.) Medical choice is a pillar of Western medical ethics, and any government that would attempt to violate a man or woman’s body with a cocktail of potentially dangerous, foreign substances — including vaccine ingredients derived from aborted human fetal cells — is engaged in the kind of genocidal evil that the […]

But for most comedy fans, that grumpy dad character has become his greatest legacy. And Stiller’s son, Ben Stiller, is pretty sure he’d be fine with that.

Tuesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) slammed the congressional Democrats for utilizing “proxy voting” amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Authored by William Smith via TheAmericanConservative.com, Fittingly, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was founded by a grandnephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte, during the Progressive Era. Bonaparte was a Harvard-educated crusader. As the FBI’s official history states, “Many progressives, including (Teddy) Roosevelt, believed that the federal government’s guiding hand was necessary to foster justice in an industrial society.” Progressives viewed the Constitution as a malleable document, a take-it-or-leave-it kind of thing. The FBI inherited that mindset of civil liberties being optional. In their early years, with the passage of the Espionage and Sedition Acts during World War […]
www.youtube.com With Postmortem Testing, ‘Last Responders’ Shed Light On Pandemic’s Spread By Michelle Andrews/NPR As the coronavirus pandemic has unfolded, all eyes have been on the medical workers and public health disease detectives fighting on the front lines ― and sometimes giving their lives — to bring the coronavirus under control.

These “last responders” are typically called on to investigate and determine the causes of deaths that are unexpected or unnatural, including deaths that occur at home. In […]

Alan Dershowotz has been laying relatively low during quarantine after he was implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking scandal more than a year ago.

Seven lawmakers announced a split from President Macron’s La Republique En Marche (LREM) on Tuesday, saying they would join the newly-formed ‘Ecology, Democracy, Solidarity’ (EDS) group, which now consists of 17 parliamentarians who are demanding more left-leaning policies. “I am a leftist. To remain so, I must leave LREM,” one of the breakaway MPs, Aurelien Tache, told Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper. LREM is left with […]

The price of gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) steadied on Tuesday at the equivalent of $1,733 per ounce after retreating on the news of a potential coronavirus vaccine by drug maker Moderna. Gold ETFs are not equal to physical gold, as they are simply securities backed by the commodity designed to track the gold price. Gold bullion, which hit an eight-year high just before the news, lost $40 per ounce for US dollar traders by the start of Tuesday’s London trade. It has also dropped over two percent from new all-time highs in British pound and euro currency terms. “Gold sold off […]

In many, there is inadequate space on sidewalks to adequately social distance. There is also inadequate space to order and wait for food from restaurants for pick up. And given that restaurants will be extremely limited in the number of patrons that can dine in them, they will need to utilize the space in their parking lots or adjacent streets to allow dining […]

“Right now, the coronavirus is our greatest adversary,” they argued. “We must remain focused on combating the coronavirus and not on increasing military spending that already outpaces the next 10 closest nations combined.” The left flank’s early opposition to increased defense spending could throw a wrench into House leaders’ aims to pass a bipartisan policy bill with fewer headaches than last year. House Armed Services Chairman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) and Rep. Mac Thornberry of Texas, the committee’s top Republican, have said they want a bipartisan bill. The letter was organized by Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), a co-chair of the Congressional Progressive […]
A White House spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment on Kim’s criticism. Since the early weeks of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, President Donald Trump has argued aggressively for reopening wide swaths of the country, warning repeatedly that “the cure” of lockdown orders “can’t be worse than the problem itself.” Following the expiration of federal social distancing guidelines at the end of April, the vast majority of states have begun this month to gradually wind down mitigation measures meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus — hoping the easing of restrictions will not yield new […]
The Irish government will not lift its ban on public worship until July 20th, despite reopening restaurants, public libraries, opticians, and numerous other “non-essential” activities. Many European countries have already resumed public worship and almost all others will have reopened long before Ireland does. Sweden, Poland, and Bulgaria never suspended public worship at all, while worship has already returned in the Czech Republic, Germany, Croatia, Monaco, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Luxembourg, Estonia, Norway, Austria, Romania, Greece, and Italy. Frustrated Irish Catholics have urged their leaders to be more forceful in pleading their case to government but in many cases the […]

(Natural News) The cat is finally out of the bag that childhood vaccines are loaded with toxic chemicals, including the cellular byproducts and derivatives of aborted human babies. But it took a lot of work to get to this point, and the mainstream media is still insistent that this horror is no big deal because vaccines “save lives.” It was a little over five years ago when ABC News reluctantly admitted that childhood vaccines are, in fact, made using aborted human fetal tissue. But the fake news outlet cited certain religious leaders, including those within the Roman Catholic Church who see […]

In a Tuesday appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ripped President Donald Trump for admitting to taking hydroxychloroquine the last week as a treatment for the coronavirus. Schumer said Trump touting the malaria drug is “reckless” and part of his “whimsical, impulsive and erratic behavior.” Schumer also suggested Trump is lying to the American people or misleading them to appeal to his ego. “When you run away from the truth, when you just do something that appeals to your ego — whether it’s true or not every day — you will not succeed in either the […]

US President Donald Trump has shared in his Twitter account the “self-explanatory” letter sent to Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who is the head of the World Health Organisation, in which he threatened to make the funding freeze permanent and “reconsider our membership” in the organisation if the agency “does not commit to major substantive improvements within the next 30 days.” In April, US President Donald Trump ordered that the funding of the World Health Organisation by the United States be halted, following his administration accusations against the agency of being “China-centric” and downplaying the danger of the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump lambasted […]
Authored by Patrick Buchanan via Buchanan.org, On March 24, President Donald Trump said he wanted the country and the economy “opened up and just raring to go by Easter.” Easter came and went. And Trump was mocked for being aspirational and unrealistic. Yet, with Ascension Thursday at hand, 40 days after Easter, the president seems to have been ahead of his time. The country, as a whole, is, and has been, opening up. Sunday’s New York Times reports that, for weeks now, more than two-thirds of the states have been relaxing restrictions as Trump had urged. The reasons: weariness with the […]

Some of our donors have donated more than once. Apart from the Red Crescent, 427 people have also donated to research hospitals across the country, and around 1,000 units of plasma were created from those donations,” he said. Kinik stated […]
Ratcliffe’s withdrawal set off a monthslong merry-go-round at the leadership of the clandestine community, as the president selected counterterrorism chief Joseph Maguire to temporarily assume the DNI post. Maguire ruined his chances of becoming the permanent chief earlier this year after Trump heard he had authorized congressional briefings on Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2020 campaign. Trump then replaced Maguire as acting DNI with U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, who possessed limited intelligence experience but began making a series of organizational changes to the country’s spy agencies. Those included last week’s announcement that the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, […]

We might be starting to realize why Tesla CEO Elon Musk appears to have been under such stress lately. While Musk was throwing a weeks-long temper tantrum to the state of California about re-opening his Fremont factory, Tesla China registrations were plunging for April as a result of the coronavirus lockdown and a potential drop-off in demand. Registrations fell 64% year over year in April, according to LMC Automotive and Reuters. The numbers also fell sequentially, with registrations down to 4,633 from 12,709 in March. Corresponding data from the China Passenger Car Association shows that 3,635 Model 3 sedans were registered. Tesla has […]
