(Natural News) A new and unexpected problem has emerged in America’s collapsing supply chain that is making it close to impossible for some farmers to continue growing food. Spare tires for tractors are now in dangerously short supply thanks to the government’s never-ending Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) fascism. For whatever reason, critical farming equipment and parts are either not getting produced anymore or not getting delivered to where they need to be, leaving farmers across the heartland in a major bind. “You try to baby your equipment, but we’re all at the mercy of luck right now,” says Cordt Holub, […]

Several hundred Afghan migrants including women, children and a seven-day-old baby have settled in a makeshift tent camp near the border with Croatia, determined to continue their journey to the European Union despite pushback and deportations, Reuter's reports. "I don't want to go back to my country ever again," said a man who identified himself as John, a former driver for NATO in Afghanistan before its Western-backed government fell to the Islamist militant Taliban in August after a 20-year conflict. He said he wanted a better life for his seven-month-old child. Thousands of migrants from Asia, the Middle East and North […]
ESPN’s college football sideline reporter Allison Williams has confirmed Friday that she is quitting the cable sports network over its coronavirus vaccine mandate. The decision came a month after Williams told fans that she was foregoing the vaccine because she and her husband were trying to get pregnant, and she did not want to risk any complications that came with the vaccine. Williams initially only said she was stepping down for this season. But now she has announced she is leaving the network entirely because her “request for accommodation” was denied by ESPN execs, Awful Announcing reported. Williams, who has been […]
By B.N. Frank Vaccine side effects, injuries, deaths have been reported for decades (see 1, 2, 3). They continue to be reported about the COVID jabs as well (see 1, 2, 3, 4), hence increasing American opposition to COVID vaccine mandates (see 1, 2, 3) and lawsuits filed against them (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Some experts have also testified that the U.S. COVID death count is not being accurately reported. Businesses seem to be paying attention to all of this, including concert promoters.

Joe Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg admitted that U.S. supply chain breakdowns will continue for months to come, but insisted that the holidays will be better because of Biden’s “leadership.” Buttigieg appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday to sugarcoat the debilitating supply chain disruptions that have been occurring thanks to Biden’s vaccine mandate and COVID welfare policies. “Well, certainly, a lot of the challenges that we have been experiencing this year will continue into next year,” Buttigieg said. “But there are both short-term and long-term steps that we can take to do something about it. Look, part of […]
Authored by Daniel McAdams via The Ron Paul Institute, For Americans watching the shocking re-Nazification of Germany – where once again the ability to even buy food depends on a person’s physiological/medical status – it may be tempting to downplay the re-emergence of a nasty German political virus and scoff that, “it can’t happen here!” But it is happening here. The Biden Administration is sinking under the weight of its feeble figurehead, who is clearly living in a world of his own creation rather than living on planet reality. As Biden’s approval ratings plummet to near-historic depths, the people who run his administration – some say it’s […]
(Natural News) The latest data from the United Kingdom’s PHE Vaccine Surveillance Report suggests that people who have been “fully vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) are losing about five percent of their immune systems per week. Doubly injected people between the ages of 40 and 70 have already lost about 40 percent of the immune system capacity from the moment they get injected. They then progressively lose more of it over time, with peak immune system loss for many expected to arrive by Christmas. “If this continues then 30-50 year-olds will have 100% immune system degradation, zero viral […]

In 2017, Hurricane Maria raged across the Caribbean island of Dominica, leaving 31 people dead with many more still missing to this day. When the hurricane had passed, island residents were left to contend with widespread infrastructural damage and economic instability. Life as Dominicans knew it, would never be the same again.

A 28-year-old woman in Illinois shot and killed a man earlier this week in bizarre love triangle dispute, according to authorities. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Claudia Resendiz-Florez was staying with two pals—James Jones and his girlfriend—at their home in the city of Rolling Meadows when the incident unfolded on Thursday night. Prosecutors in Cook County said that the trio were having a drink together when Resendiz-Florez allegedly asked Jones for a kiss. Jones declined because he had a girlfriend who was sitting right next to him. He then kissed his girlfriend in front of Resendiz-Florez, prompting an envious Resendiz-Florez to […]
There’s at least one industry where the United States now has China beat: bitcoin mining. After Beijing’s crackdown on crypto in September, the U.S. took the reins as the leading location for bitcoin mining, according to data compiled by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance and released last week. Just two years ago, China accounted for three-quarters of all of bitcoin’s total hashrate (the computational power used to mine bitcoin), while the U.S. contributed a scant 4%. As of August, China’s bitcoin miners were gone, while the Americans were responsible for 35%. You’re reading Crypto Long & Short, our weekly newsletter […]

“Halloween Kills” may be available to watch at home, but the latest installment in the Michael Myers saga is making a killing at the North American box office in its first weekend in theaters. The David Gordon Green-directed horror scared up $50.4 million from 3,705 locations, according to studio estimates Sunday. Universal’s “Halloween Kills” far surpassed expectations, which had the film pegged for a more conservative debut in the $30 million range. It also easily bested its main competition, which included the James Bond pic “No Time to Die,” in its second weekend, and Ridley Scott’s medieval epic “The Last Duel.” […]
By Andrea Germanos The Pentagon said Friday that the U.S. would issue “condolence payments” to relatives of 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children, killed in an August drone strike—an attack military officials had initially defended as a “righteous strike” targeting an explosive-laden vehicle destined for militants and later admitted to being a “horrible tragedy” that claimed innocent lives.

NEI had employed as a technical engineer Zemari […]
Authored by Matt Taibbi via TK News, On The Young Turks the other night, during a segment called — this is not a joke — “RebelHQ,” commentator Ben Carollo extolled the virtues of the CIA. In one section, he described how intelligence officials responded to “Donald Trump trying to plan some ridiculous scheme to maintain himself as president”: It’s not a conspiracy theory to say that these government officials wanted to listen to congress and cared about Democratic norms and respected the constitutional structure of the way the United States is today. When I first heard Carollo talking about the […]
(Natural News) Leaked documents suggest that another mass “sickout” event will soon take place, this time at Boeing, which recently threatened its unvaccinated employees with termination if they refuse to get shot for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). Several Boeing employees in Seattle reportedly sent Human Events copies of internal documents showing that so-called #FreedomFlu sickouts are set to commence in response to the company’s refusal to tolerate non-injected workers at its facilities. “Boeing has acted in bad faith and knew months ago that they were going to mandate us at the end of the year,” one of the memos […]

ANKARA — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Oct. 17 the United States has proposed the sale of a batch of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey to compensate Turkey’s $1.4 billion investment in the U.S.-led multinational F-35 program. Turkey committed to buy more than 100 F-35s, but was removed from the program after it decided to purchase the Russian-made S-400 long-range air and anti-missile defense system. Erdogan has been pressing the Biden administration either to deliver the two F-35s built for the Turkish military or return Turkey’s $1.4 billion payment for the aircraft. Turkey’s current fleet of more than 200 F-16s […]
By Brad Polumbo The national debt is rapidly closing in on $29 trillion. The federal government now owes an astounding $228,999 per taxpayer. All the while, politicians in Washington, DC are bickering over whether to spend $4.5 trillion more or “just” $1.5 trillion. Yet, almost entirely omitted from the debate over the so-called “infrastructure” spending bonanza is the fact that the federal government is already running off a fiscal cliff—as a new analysis makes plain. The Manhattan Institute’s Brian Riedl recently released his 2021 Chart Book, and it paints a devastating picture of the federal government’s finances. Here are 4 charts […]
RINO Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (R) defended employers mandating the COVID injection for workers, but said he opposed Joe Biden’s federal vaccine mandate. Hutchinson argued Sunday during NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the “whole debate on mandates” distracted the public from the “efficacy” of the injection which “slowed down acceptance of the vaccine.” “The states are sometimes coming in and saying, ‘Employers should not have the ability to impose a vaccine requirement on their workers.’ To me, that’s the wrong direction as well. It’s not practical in terms of creating that debate, but it’s not principled either,” Hutchinson said. “I am […]
Pro-Israeli lobbying and advocacy groups are seeking answers from the Biden administration over why it removed two Iranian firms believed linked to Iran’s ballistic missile program from the US sanctions blacklist earlier this month. The US Treasury Department had quietly and without explanation dropped sanctions on Mammut Industrial Group, and its subsidiary Mammut Diesel Company. Both had been targeted by the prior Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign. Via The National Interest In September 2020 under the guidance of the Trump White House, the US Treasury had identified the Iranian companies as “key producers and suppliers of military-grade, dual-use goods for Iran’s missile programs,” and […]
Newcastle United’s Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur was suspended before half-time after a medical emergency was reported in the crowd at St. James’ Park.

Comedian Jon Stewart took a shot at the media in general on Sunday morning, claiming that the press “does a terrible job at de-escalation” when it comes to hot-button political and societal issues and instead just seeks to “expose the conflict lines.” Six years after leaving his iconic run as the host of The Daily Show, Stewart recently returned to television with a new (and far more serious) program, The Problem with Jon Stewart.

By Christopher Burroughs, The Epoch Times via ZeroHedge (emphasis ZH) A judge temporarily blocked an order on Wednesday that required California prison workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

On Friday Biden said of those who attempted to defy subpoenas that he hoped the select committee “goes after them and holds them accountable criminally.” When asked if the Justice Department should aid in that effort, Biden responded: “I do, yes.” The administration quickly sought to clarify Biden’s comments and reassert the independence of DOJ’s decision making, with White House press secretary Jen Psaki also tweeting, in part, that Biden “supports the work of the committee and the independent role of the Department of Justice to make any decisions about prosecutions.” “The Department of Justice will make its own independent decisions […]

It acts like a hefty tax…eroding family budgets that are already stretched. In this ongoing stagflation, personal income gains lag […]

A Rome judge yesterday suspended the trial of four senior members of the Egyptian security services citing concerns that there was no certainty they had been formally made aware that they were charged in the 2016 abduction, torture and killing of an Italian doctoral student, Giulio Regeni in Cairo. During the session, Italian prosecutors urged the court to continue the trial in absentia, arguing that Egyptian authorities had obstructed the investigation into Regeni's death and prevented Italy from contacting the suspects, Al Jazeera reported. "What is at stake is Italy's right to hold a trial regarding a very serious crime that might have taken place abroad, but that […]
President Joe Biden spoke at the 40th Annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service on Saturday, using the occasion to push gun control, police reform, and the narrative that the January 6 protests were an “insurrection” and a fundamental threat to democracy. The president spoke on the steps of Capitol Hill, praising the Capitol Police who defended the building during the January 6 protests. “Here, nine months ago, your brothers and sisters thwarted an unconstitutional and fundamentally un-American attack on our nation’s values and our votes,” Biden said. “Because of you, Democracy survived.” Biden criticized the public for expecting too much from […]
Authored by Charles Kennedy via OilPrice.com, Coal met some 3 percent of the UK’s electricity demand on Friday morning, reaching its highest level of Britain’s power generation in one month, amid lower wind speeds this week and an outage at a gas-powered plant, Bloomberg reports. The last time the UK generated 3 percent of its electricity from coal was in early September when low wind generation reduced renewable power supply and triggered the massive spikes in UK wholesale electricity prices. Utility Uniper fired up its coal-powered plant in Ratcliffe early on Friday, while the gas-fired plant in Pembroke, Wales, operated by RWE, […]

Statistics spanning back to before the Second World War received a new record low in 2020. In England and Wales the female fertility rate fell to 1.58. That’s 0.5 less than the previous low of 2001 and 1.5 less than the wartime fall to 1.73 in 1941. Additionally, as Statista’s Martin Armstrong notes, the latest live birth figures also represent the fifth consecutive year of decreases. You will find more infographics at Statista According to the ONS, potential reasons for the recent decreases could be improved access to contraception, the reduction in mortality rates of children aged under 5 years (resulting in […]
(Natural News) Even the ‘wokest’ of corporations aren’t woke enough for the hyper-left, most of who are budding authoritarians who would, if they could, literally take away the speech and expression rights of any American who disagrees with their views. Like comedian Dave Chappelle. In recent days, Netflix, which has worked with Chappelle for years and has produced several of his comedy specials, began taking heat from some of its own transgender employees over jokes the comedian told for a newly released special called “The Closer.” In response, three of the streaming service’s employees, including one who is trans, […]

The fact that Tanzanian novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature is welcome news, especially as the Swedish Academy is historically known for lacking in diversity, as if intellectual creativity is largely confined to Western intellectual circles. It is premature to suggest that the Academy has finally decided to break away from its ethnocentric past and genuinely embrace the incredible literature constantly originating from the Global South. One can be excused for appearing too cynical – after all, since its inception in 1901, over 80 per cent of those who have received the award hail from Europe and North America. In the last decade, […]
“This may be an era where we can level the playing field,” said Donna Brazile, a former Democratic National Committee chair. “I think Black candidates have proven more and more than ever that we’re talented, but we didn’t have the resources to compete…this is the future. This is what I think Dr. [Martin Luther] King and his generation always envisioned.” While individual Black candidates have posted robust fundraising performances in the past, there may never have been a quarter where quite so many raised quite so much.

Nearly a year after the deadly terror attack that saw three people murdered by a Tunisian national, another Tunisian entered the Nice Basilica and threatened staff while yelling in Arabic. The incident took place on Monday at around 6 p.m. and saw a 26-year-old illegal migrant from Tunisia enter the Nice Basilica and start screaming in Arabic before spitting on the floor and then leaving. The Tunisian migrant came back ten minutes later and threatened the sacristan, a Roman Catholic church official in charge of preparing for liturgical celebrations and other duties, Actu17 reports. “The sacristan, who had been informed of […]
Hit song of the 1940s. Explanation from YouTube: Harry (the Hipster) Gibson blends jive & barrelhouse as he pounds out his boogie woogie like Jerry Lee Lewis pounding out rock n roll. A hipster poet precursor to the Beats & even the hippies, his daring lyrics occasionally got him into trouble. “Who Put The Benzedrine In Mrs. Murphy’s Ovaltine?” is an updating of an old Irish folk song “Who Put The Overalls In Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder?” that ended up getting Harry “The Hipster” Gibson blacklisted from radio play, and put his career on a downward slope it wouldn’t recover from until […]
DC Comics recently revealed that in an upcoming issue titled “Superman: Son of Kal-El,” the son of Lois Lane and Clark Kent would be bisexual, and that he’s going to fight “real-world problems” such as climate change, that he’ll protest the deportation of refugees, and date a “hacktivist.” What exactly is a “hacktivist”? Isn’t hacking illegal? Is Superman supporting criminal activity? It’s a chore to keep up with all the different iterations of the current superheroes, but DC Comics is calling it a “bold new direction” for the character. I see nothing “bold” about it. I say they’re jumping on the bandwagon, but […]
Authored by Brian Cloughley via The Strategic Culture Foundation, U.S. deployment of nuclear strike aircraft to the UK signals to continental Europe that planning for nuclear war against Russia is accelerating. On October 5 the U.S. State Department announced that the U.S. military’s arsenal of nuclear weapons numbered 3,750 as of September 30, 2020.

On the same day, the U.S. Defense Department publication Stars and Stripes reported that […]
Instagram influencer and football agent Wanda Icardi has set tongues wagging after appearing to accuse husband and PSG striker Mauro of infidelity, also unfollowing the Argentine on the social media network. The couple have been together since 2014, with their union already embroiled in scandal before it got off the ground. Wanda was married with three children to Argentine footballer Maxi Lopez from 2008 to 2013, and their relationship broke down with each party accusing the other of infidelity as Wanda was suspected of shacking up with his former Sampdoria teammate and off-field friend Icardi. Returning to Buenos Aires from Italy, Wanda […]
(Natural News) Texas has long been a red state and our real president, Donald Trump, won the state again in 2020, but the problem is, GOP margins of victory, including Trump’s, have been shrinking over successive election cycles. For example, in 2000, then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush won his state by nearly 22 points; however, last fall, Trump only won the state by about 5.5 points, and that’s after he won Texas in 2016 by 9 points over Hillary Clinton. So clearly, the state of Texas is becoming less red, and that is a problem because if Texas ever turns […]

Scott Ziegler, the superintendent of Virginia’s embattled Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS), said that the school district has “failed” to provide a safe environment for its students. The superintendent’s comments were in response to local parents outraged over how reports of two sexual assaults were handled inside schools. Following the superintendent’s statement, board member Beth Barts, who previously targeted parents who are against Critical Race Theory in schools, resigned from her position. “First, let me say to the families and students involved — my heart aches for you and I am sorry that we failed to provide the safe, welcoming, and affirming environment […]
