A Taco Bell worker in Clarksville, Tennessee, is being praised for her quick thinking during a recent life or death situation. Sonja Nixon Frazier usually works the nightshift but came into work for a few hours on August 12 to help her manager, according to ClarksvilleNow.com. However, when she and her coworkers noticed their drive-thru line had stopped, they knew something was wrong. “One of my managers looked on the camera and saw a car was parked the wrong way. It looked like it’d rolled into the drive-thru line and was blocking it,” said the 37-year-old who has worked at the […]

‘Morality Pill’ A Cure For The Pandemic? Tyler Durden Thu, 08/20/2020 – 19:45 Authored by Eric Utter via AmericanThinker.com, Western Michigan University ethics professor Parker Crutchfield recently had an essay published in The Conversation in which he said psychoactive medications might be the most effective way to fight the spread of COVID-19. He stated: To me, it seems the problem of coronavirus defectors could be solved by moral enhancement: like receiving a vaccine to beef up your immune system, people could take a substance to boost their cooperative, pro-social behavior. Could a psychoactive pill be the solution to the pandemic? He reiterated the idea […]
The world’s most infamous Chimney to No Place By Bill Willers for VT “I spoke with the head military lawyer for the IDF, Joel Singer, and I said ‘You know, I’m two weeks here. It’s clear you people are inflicting Nuremberg crimes on the Palestinians, exactly what the Nazis did to the Jews. What’s your explanation?’ He said ‘Military necessity’. Notice, he didn’t disagree with me. I said ‘That argument was rejected at Nuremberg when the lawyers for the Nazis made it.’ So then he said, ‘Well, we have public relations people in the United States, and they handle these […]
Half of single adults in the US aren’t looking for casual dates, let alone a committed relationship, reflecting a trend toward more reclusive lifestyles in Japan and other developed nations, a new Pew Research Center poll showed. Fifty percent of Americans who aren’t in a relationship aren’t seeking a committed partner or trying to find dates, Pew reported Thursday, based on polling that was done in October 2019. As for those open to romance, only 14 percent said they’re looking specifically for a relationship. Ten percent want casual dates only, while 26 percent are open to either dating or relationships. While […]

Criterion President Peter Becker knows that his company’s film collection has long ignored Black artists. And now, he says, he’s ready to do something about it. In a fascinating feature well worth reading in full, The New York Times spoke with Becker about the scarcity of Black and African American directors within Criterion’s ranks. “There’s nothing I can say about it that will make it OK,” Becker told the Times. “The fact that things are missing, and specifically that Black voices are missing, is harmful, and that’s clear. We have to fix that.” Criterion’s DVD collection can be coveted among cinephiles […]

Peru had one of the earliest mandated lockdowns due to the coronavirus.But now Peru leads the world in coronavirus deaths. It is sad that poor countries believed quack doctors like Dr. Fauci and the CDC for guidance.We now know that the lockdowns were a disaster. Jordan Schachtel reported: Once hailed as a COVID-19 “success story,” Peru is now the COVID-19 case study that lockdown advocates no longer want to discuss. Lima is on pace to surpass Belgium (another strict lockdown country) sometime next week as having the world’s highest COVID-19 deaths per million. So why is no one talking about it? […]
Jordanian authorities have shut the Al-Omari Border Crossing with Saudi Arabia after recording 18 new coronavirus cases, Al-Ghad reported yesterday. Local authorities are yet to release an official statement. The move comes a week after authorities closed the Jaber Border Crossing with Syria to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Jordan has been witnessing a relapse to the virus in recent weeks following a rise in the number of new cases across the kingdom’s governorates.

Three officers with the Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Police Department rescued about a dozen people who were stranded due to flash flooding on Tuesday evening, according to dash cam footage. Sgt. J.E. Spraggins reported that he was near Kaulton Road and 35th Street at 9 p.m. when he heard cries for help, according to the Tuscaloosa Police Department Facebook page.

When President Trump campaigned across coal-mining producing states in 2016, he told industry leaders and workers that it was Barack Obama’s strict environmental regulations that doomed them. In late 2016, the president, then a Republican candidate, told coal miners in West Virginia: “We’re going to take care of years of horrible abuse. I guarantee it.” But new data reveals a troubling trend for the president’s attempt to revive the coal industry, one that suggests the recovery has yet to materialize, but rather the great bust cycle in coal continues to gain momentum. We noted, as early as 2016, the president wouldn’t be able to […]
(Natural News) The Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis in Australia has caused the closure of thousands of ATMs and hundreds of bank branches in the country. At least 2,150 terminals have been removed in the recent June quarter alone. This has brought the number of ATM terminals across the country to just 25,720 – their lowest level in 12 years – according to the Australian Payments Network.

Local authorities in Syria’s northwestern city of Idlib yesterday announced the first coronavirus fatality. “Today, we’ve recorded the first death from coronavirus of an 80-year-old woman in Idlib,” Syrian Interim Government (SIG)’s health minister, Maram Al-Sheikh, told reporters, adding that the victim had been suffering from “chronic kidney failure.” Al-Sheikh pointed out that the elderly lady was put on a ventilator but her polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was positive. As of Wednesday, there were a total of 54 infected people across all opposition-controlled areas, 46 of whom have recovered, according to official data. The virus has been declared a pandemic […]
California’s Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom is urging the residents of his failed state to turn their thermostats up to 78 degrees. Here are some highlights from the governor’s August 20 guidelines: Set your thermostat to 78° or higher between 3 and 10 P.M. Refrain from major appliance use between 3 and 10 P.M. Postpone using major appliances like the oven, dishwasher, clothes washer, and dryer until cooler times of the day to avoid heating up your home. Run your dishwasher and clothes washer only when full. Wait until after 9 p.m. to use these and other major appliances. When possible, wash clothes in […]
Authored by Jacob Hornberger via The Future of Freedom Foundation, President Trump is saying that he might issue a pardon to Edward Snowden. For some reason, he hasn’t said the same thing about Julian Assange. But a pardon suggests that the person being pardoned has done something wrong. Neither Snowden and Assange has done anything wrong – at least not in a moral sense. It is the U.S. government – and specifically the national-security state branch of the federal government – that has engaged in terrible wrongdoing – wrongdoing that Snowden and Assange revealed to the American people and the people […]

President Donald Trump has boasted that by replacing Barack Obama and defeating Hillary Clinton, he saved the US from war with North Korea. An unlikely dove, Trump has often accused his rivals of clamoring for conflict. Speaking on Thursday from Old Forge, Pennsylvania – just two miles from Joe Biden’s hometown of Scranton – Trump tore into his opponent, calling Biden a “puppet of the radical left movement” who wants to “hike your taxes” and “take away your guns,” among other by now well-worn criticisms. After rounding on Biden, Trump boasted of his own accomplishments in office, including his series of […]

Eyebrows already askew were raised even further last week when the US Air Force quietly but quickly withdrew a request for information that seemed to suggest it was looking to build a hypersonic nuclear weapon. On August 12, the US Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (NWC), the agency that manages the service’s arsenal of aircraft-based and land-based nuclear weapons, posted a request for information (RFI) on the public solicitation website Beta.sam.gov asking for companies to submit ideas in seven different categories for potential upgrades to an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). While a ballistic missile can be armed with a conventional warhead, […]
U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Michael Tremel was in the cockpit of his Super Hornet fighter soaring 20,000 feet over war-torn Syria on June 18, 2017, when he detected a warplane heading toward a U.S.-backed militia force on the ground. Tremel tried to shoo away the other pilot by firing off bright decoy flares. But the Syrian aviator ignored the warning and dropped bombs on the militia position. Tremel reacted in seconds, firing two air-to-air missiles that sliced off the other plane’s tail. It was a dramatic display of American pilots’ traditional prowess in air-to-air combat. Since the Vietnam War, U.S. fighters […]
In addition to large plastic trash, researchers estimate that more than 21 million metric tons of tiny plastic debris are floating well below the Atlantic Ocean’s surface. Michael O’Neill/Science Source Scientists are trying to understand how much plastic humans are pumping into the ocean and how long it sticks around. A study published this week says it may be much more than earlier estimates. By some measures, the plastic trash that’s floating on the surface of the water only accounts for about 1% of the plastic pollution that humans generate. “If we are missing 99% of plastic that we thought we […]

More than half of Lebanon’s population are living in poverty, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) claimed in a report released yesterday. According to data compiled in May 2020, the organisation’s “estimates reveal that more than 55 per cent of the country’s population is now trapped in poverty and struggling for bare necessities”, up from 28 per cent the previous year. Approximately 2.7 million of Lebanon’s 6 million residents live below the poverty line, surviving on less than $14 per day, according to the report. While extreme poverty in Lebanon has nearly tripled in the last 12 months, increasing […]
According to a German government statement issued after the meeting, the group discussed the climate priorities of the German EU Council presidency, the EU’s objective of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 and efforts to hike the bloc’s 2030 emissions reduction targets. “Both sides agree that global warming is a global challenge where industrial states have a particular responsibility in its management,” the statement said, adding: “The basis for that is the implementation of the Paris Agreement.” But that’s pretty much where agreement ended. The campaigners want politicians — and especially Merkel — to speed up emissions cuts and other climate measures. They […]
During an interview with Fox News released on Thursday, Biden accuser Tara Reade stated that the Democratic National Committee is “complicit” in and “participating” in “gaslighting of survivors,” and that the lineup of speakers at the DNC is “a thumb in all our faces.” Reade said, “I’m a sexual assault survivor.

(Natural News) While the Left-wing “mainstream media” continues to paint Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris of California as political ‘moderates’ who will seek to ‘govern from the center,’ nothing could be further from the truth. Once upon a time Biden could be counted on as a loyal Washington establishment figure, like voting for the NAFTA trade deal back when it was very cool among RINOs and Democrats to surrender America’s sovereignty and jobs. But that’s about to change. If he’s elected, the hard-Left is ready to pounce on him the next day to enact […]

Day three of the four-day Democratic National Convention was held on Wednesday and the general mood was permeated with a sense of victimhood and consistent attacks on President Donald Trump.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army’s future missile defense battle command system capped off a major test in the desert of White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, on Aug. 20 by nearly destroying two threat targets simultaneously. Completion of the test clears a challenging hurdle for the system as the service prepares to decide whether it is ready for production. The cruise missile and advanced tactical ballistic missile targets were launched from different places toward Army air and missile defenders while multiple, disparate radars sent data to the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System as they tracked the incoming targets.

The Russian health minister earlier dismissed allegations of ineffectiveness and potential dangers of the first vaccine protecting against COVID-19, alleging that such rumours are just a result of “certain competition” felt by foreign colleagues of the Russian researchers. The announcement of the registration of the first coronavirus vaccine in Russia was met with attempts by the western mainstream media to play down the news of the breakthrough drug by questioning its safety and effectiveness. These concerns, however, hold no water since an adenovirus vaccine has been in use by the US Army for decades and has been applied to millions of […]

A “higher-than-normal” rate of leaking air has been detected aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The crew will now spend the weekend trying to isolate and fix the issue. The minor leak was first revealed by NASA on Thursday. The rate of leaking air is still within “segment specifications” and there’s no immediate danger to the station or its crew, the agency stressed. Over the weekend, all segments of the ISS will be isolated with hatches closed, while the crew will temporarily relocate to Russian habitat module. “The test should determine which module is experiencing a higher-than-normal leak rate.

No right-wing cause célèbre would be complete without some on-air boosting from Fox News. And in the case of Steve Bannon’s allegedly fraudulent “We Build the Wall” fundraiser, the conservative cable channel obliged. Bannon, a former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, was arrested Thursday morning on charges of using that border wall fundraising campaign to enrich himself and the fund’s founder Brian Kolfage, a triple-amputee Air Force veteran who was also arrested. According to federal prosecutors, Bannon and Kolfage, along with two others, defrauded the hundreds of thousands of donors who gave $25 million to their effort to privately fund […]

(Natural News) The Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) blame game rages on, with the Left accusing President Donald Trump of somehow not doing enough to address the crisis. But as anyone who has been paying attention well knows, Trump did try to help by promoting the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has continued to stonewall at the expense of the tens of thousands of lives that have now been needlessly lost. At last count, upwards of 48,000 Americans have died just since July 1 when the FDA delayed issuing an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for HCQ. […]

…from SouthFront.org The series of unfortunate events involving the US-led coalition, Turkey and Turkish proxies continues in Syria’s Greater Idlib. Late on August 19 and early on August 20, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) shelled positions of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham near Haranabush and al-Sheikh Bahr in southern Idlib with what pro-opposition sources called “long-range rockets”. Despite multiple claims in pro-opposition media about fierce SAA strikes, no casualties were reported. The SAA likely used BM-27 Uragan or BM-30 Smerch heavy rocket launchers. The BM-27 has a range of 37 km, while the more advanced BM-30 can hit targets up to 90 km […]

HAMTRAMCK, MI —Nakiya Wakes was pregnant with twins in 2014 when the water coming out of her home’s tap in Flint turned brown and began to stink. Within months, she had lost both babies.

The violence has indeed continued though the coverage has been light, including the arson at a county government building yesterday. One of the most shocking incidents involve the attack […]

Netflix has been caught promoting a movie titled Cuties as a drama about an 11-year-old who “explores her femininity” through “twerking,” complete with a provocative poster. This is the far-left streaming outlet’s third strike when it comes to sexualizing children. This streaming site is home to Barack and Michelle Obama. The movie — a Sundance darling, naturally — is a French title. Cuties is rated TV-MA, which means there is an 11-year-old character in a movie that is “usually not suitable for anyone under 17 years of age (18 in some cases). Content may contain strong coarse language, explicit (in some […]
