REPORTER: Thanks, Jen. Two questions on the vaccine. First, you had mentioned yesterday that every individual at this White House has been, quote, “offered” a vaccine. So, can you clarify, is the administration not mandating vaccines for White House staff? PSAKI: No, we have not mandated. REPORTER: Okay. And do you have a count or can you offer any confirmation to us on the percentage of employees who are vaccinated? PSAKI: I’m not going to provide that.

As journalist Rania Khalek of BreakThrough News details, Ethiopia has been in the headlines in recent months as the TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front), a Tigrayan rebel group that ruled the country for three decades, violently seized the northern Ethiopian state of Tigray from the government.

However, the TPLF has continued fighting to expand its control over Tigray’s border areas and threatening to push the war into neighboring countries. Via AFP The Western media has largely cheered on the TPLF and demonized the Ethiopian government and its allies, with allegations of […]
Team GB’s campaign to take the knee before matches at the Olympics has been reciprocated by hosts Japan on the pitch before the pair met in a women’s football match – with some fans switching off and others hailing the move. Several members of the squad had spoken out about the importance of making the gesture before games in Tokyo, and the Japan players showed their approval by joining in and kneeling shortly before kick-off, while Arsenal forward Nikita Parris reportedly held up a fist. The gesture has continued to be a controversial feature of high-profile football matches this summer, with a political […]

Vaccinated individuals comprise the majority of new coronavirus infections in Singapore, according to government data. According to Reuters, vaccinated people made up three-quarters of the country’s coronavirus infections in the last month, although severe cases among the vaccinated have been limited: While the data shows that vaccines are highly effective in preventing severe cases, it also underscores the risk that even those inoculated could be contagious, so that inoculation alone may not suffice to halt transmission. Of Singapore’s 1,096 locally transmitted infections in the last 28 days, 484, or about 44%, were in fully vaccinated people, while 30% were partially vaccinated […]

Via The Strategic Culture Foundation, All in all, Washington’s virtue-signaling is one helluva gas! After much arm-twisting, bullying and foghorn diplomacy towards its European allies, the United States appears to have finally given up on trying to block the giant Nord Stream 2 project with Russia. What an epic saga it has been, revealing much about American relations with Europe and Washington’s geopolitical objectives, as well as, ultimately, the historic decline in U.S. global power. In the end, sanity and natural justice seem to have prevailed. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline under the Baltic Sea will double the existing flow of […]

Earlier this month Fox News host Tucker Carlson revealed that he had information from a whistleblower that the NSA was spying on him. A couple weeks ago Tucker told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo that he was contacted by a journalist over who informed him that the NSA leaked his emails to the media. The point of the leaks is to get Tucker Carlson’s highly popular Fox News show cancelled, according to the whistleblower. “They’re not allowed to spy on American citizens, they are,” Tucker said adding that it’s “shocking” that he is being targeted for criticizing the Biden Administration.

Authored by Philip Wegmann via RealClearPolitics.com, President Biden so desperately wants the vaccine-hesitant part of the country to get their shots that he may have spread a little misinformation. “You are not going to get COVID,” he promised during a CNN town-event Wednesday night, “if you have these vaccines.” Of course, this is not true. Biden knows it. He said as much later during the forum, explaining that, while vaccinated individuals enjoy significant protections, they can still test positive for the virus. But even if that happens, the president pointed out, the vaccine largely mitigates the most serious dangers. “You are […]
Rachael Ostovich earned a measure of revenge for her UFC loss to Paige VanZant two years ago, winning a unanimous decision in their bare-knuckle brawl on Friday night in a result which sent ’12 Gauge’ storming out of the ring.

By Jack Phillips of Epoch Times A federal court on Friday ruled that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) overstepped its authority by halting evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Britain’s supermarkets are struggling to ensure adequate food supply after reports of panic hoarding due to what the British press calls “ping-demic” – a reference to being “pinged” by the NHS test-and-trace system. We noted on Monday that ping-demic was likely to “lead to food shortages,” and that is precisely what is happening today. The Independent reports UK’s largest supermarkets are experiencing shortages after the number of people getting “pinged” on the NHS Test and triggered mass confusion. The NHS app sent a half-million alerts last week, notifying users they have to quarantine for ten days because of possible close contact with someone who […]
Authored by John R. Lott Jr. via RealClearInvestigations (emphasis ours), In response to sharp increases in violent crime, President Biden stressed again last week that his administration is focused on “stemming the flow of firearms used to commit violent crimes.” But critics warn that this “guns first” approach ignores a basic fact—about 92% of violent crimes in America do not involve firearms. Although firearms were used in about 74% of homicides in 2019, they comprise less than 9% of violent crimes in America. The vast majority of violent offenses—including robberies, rapes and other sex crimes—almost always involve other weapons or no […]
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has urged employers to be as aggressive as possible in mandating that workers get vaccinated against Covid-19, marking the latest sign the US jab campaign is shifting to force from cajoling. “I’m calling on all New York City employers, including our private hospitals, to move immediately to some form of mandate,” de Blasio said on Friday in a radio interview. He called on employers to impose “whatever the maximum you feel you can do.” De Blasio’s comments come amid rising US Covid-19 infections, as the reportedly highly contagious Delta variant of the virus spreads […]
(Natural News) The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the threat of plastic pollution, as disposable face masks and other forms of personal protective equipment have become ubiquitous. In a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, researchers have suggested cutting back on disposable face masks, recommending the use of reusable masks instead. In recent times, face masks and personal protective equipment have become essential, not only for healthcare workers but also for the public. Disposable N95 masks, for instance, have been in high demand to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These masks carry both a financial and an environmental burden. The authors […]

Anthony Scaramucci, a hedge fund manager and past Trump administration official, mandated Friday coronavirus vaccines for office employees. “Make a decision… Get vaccinated. If you don’t want to get vaccinated, leave. That should be the message, and people will start getting vaccinated,” he said in an interview on CNBC. “We’re a private company. If somebody wants to fight me over the vaccine mandate, that’s fine. Let’s take it to the court,” Scaramucci threatened his employees before suggesting he does not “like the totalitarian nonsense.” But, he said: It’s not about that. his is about once in a while we have to team […]

Victims of Russian hackers’ latest ransomware onslaught may soon feel some relief. Kaseya, the IT management software company that Russian hackers popped earlier this month, says it’s obtained a tool that will help victims recover from the attack and unlock their files.

It’s hit schools in New Zealand and forced a Swedish grocery store chain to shut down, among other businesses. But the whodunnit—or rather, who saved the day—mystery […]

By B.N. Frank There is government, independent, military, and industry-funded research that indicates exposure to Bluetooth, cell phone and wireless “Wi-Fi” radiation is biologically harmful (see 1, 2, 3).

House Democrats on Tuesday blocked a GOP bill which would require the Director of National Intelligence to declassify information related to the US government’s investigations into the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic – and in particular, what role the Wuhan Institute of Virology may have played in the outbreak. The bill failed in the House by a vote of 216 – 207. The COVID-19 Origin Act was introduced in the Senate by Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Mike Braun (R-IN), and was passed unanimously in May, according to Townhall. Then, it was brought to the House floor by Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) along with Reps. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) […]
Authored by Matt Taibbi via TK News, Eight days ago, on July 15th, The Guardian published an apparent bombshell by reporting curiosity Luke Harding and two other writers, entitled, “Kremlin papers appear to show Putin’s plot to put Trump in White House.” The paper claimed to have gotten hold of “leaked Kremlin documents” from January 2016, showing a secret plot by Russia to use “all possible force” to help elect “the most promising candidate,” Donald Trump, in order to bring about the “destabilization of the US’s sociopolitical system.” The article featured a snippet of the alleged document that purported to show […]

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World” that he was criticized because “loyalists” of former President Donald Trump get “annoyed” with him for telling the truth. Cavuto said, “Just now, Congressman Madison Cawthorn has said if Republicans gain control, he wants you investigated for being a pawn of the Chinese Communist Party. Rand Paul all but blamed the deaths of all these people worldwide on you. Even though he backed off on some of that.

By Alex Gray of 19fortygive.com In late 2020, a Chinese submersible, the Fendouzhe, descended over 30,000 feet to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, home to the deepest point in the earth’s oceans, known as Challenger Deep. Loaded with so much surveying equipment that the crew added additional buoyancy materials to keep it balanced, the Fendouzhe set a national record for the depth of its dive and broadcast a live feed of its exploits back to China. While the expedition was billed as focusing on the animal life of the Trench, state media noted that the surveying experience would be useful for China’s growing interest in […]

I have not watched the new Netflix series My Unorthodox Life, a show supposedly about how fashion executive Julia Haart lives her life in freedom from the repressive Orthodox Judaism in which she was raised. I’m not boycotting the show because it attacks Judaism. This has become weirdly common on Netflix. Indeed, you’d think its executives would at least have come up with a more creative name that using the exact same title as the 2020 Series Unorthodox. Less so I am skipping the show because of Julia herself. I’ve never met her and I have nothing against her. Many people […]
Massachusetts health officials announced there’s been over 5,100 “breakthrough cases” of fully vaccinated individuals becoming infected with Covid in the state, with as many as 80 deaths reported.

(Natural News) A big reason why Google, and by extension YouTube, is aggressively censoring all truth about the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “pandemic” is because the company is directly invested in the Chinese Virus injection from AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford.
