It’s the kind of Olympic record nobody wants to see: 3,177 new coronavirus cases announced Wednesday, Tokyo’s worst single day of the pandemic. But as the Olympic host city struggles to contain the spread of COVID-19, athletes quarantining after testing positive at the Games say that’s no reason to keep them locked up for days in “inhuman” conditions with no fresh air. A Dutch skateboarder turned to Instagram Wednesday to describe how she led an eight-hour strike to get her first breath of outside air in a week.

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland could not answer for the controversies surrounding Tracy Stone-Manning, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), when Republicans on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee confronted Haaland about Stone-Manning during a hearing Tuesday. Sen.

Lee asked, “Were you aware of public statements that Ms. Stone-Manning had made only months before her […]
By Simon Flint, Bloomberg reporter and commentator There’s an asymmetric risk of U.S rates rising in response to Wednesday’s Fed meeting, given the extremely low current bond yields. A baseline assumption would be for modest curve steepening if Powell remains dovish. However, it’s hard to identify sources of surprise, given Powell’s clear guidance from his Congressional testimony. The key elements to look out for are as follows: Will the Fed punch the clock on taper? This seems unlikely, and consensus probably rightly expects the countdown — as so nicely outlined by Bill Dudley — to start at Jackson Hole and/or the September Fed meeting. That said, […]

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News, A new survey has found that Brits in most age groups are still wearing face masks at the same rate after July 19 despite there being no legal requirement to do so. A YouGov polls finds that only people in the youngest age group, 18-24-year-olds, have significantly reduced the wearing of a face covering since ‘freedom day’, when all restrictions were supposedly lifted. People aged 65+ actually increased usage of wearing face masks (83%) after the legal requirement was dropped while those aged 50-64 and 25-49 used them at roughly the same rate. […]
Researchers from the University of East Anglia and Earlham Institute have warned that easing Covid-19 restrictions early could lead to vaccine-resistant virus strains and new variants forming due to low global inoculation rates. The article, published by the University of East Anglia and Earlham Institute on Tuesday, argues that easing coronavirus restrictions may lead to more aggressive mutations developing that are resistant to vaccines. “Relaxing restrictions boosts transmission and allows the virus population to expand, which enhances its adaptive evolutionary potential and increases the risk of vaccine-resistant strains emerging by a process known as antigenic drift,” the researchers stated. The scientists […]
(Natural News) If the Covid vaccines really work, then everyone who gets them should not ever be worried about catching it from anyone who doesn’t get the jab. The installed fake president Joe Biden said, “You’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations.” So if vaccines protect you 100 percent, why does it matter if others around you aren’t vaccinated? The claim that unvaccinated people are somehow a risk to the vaccinated just got obliterated. This means there really is no science behind preventing Covid using vaccinations, or every vaccinated person and the government would simply […]

Authored by Vanand Meliksatian via OilPrice.com, The Caspian Sea is one of the world’s largest and oldest oil and gas producing regions. During the Cold War, the hydrocarbon-rich area was Soviet-controlled as the vast majority of the reserves were located in the Soviet Union. Since the breakup of the communist state, international companies have flocked to the newly independent countries such as Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Of the littoral states, Turkmenistan has by far the largest reserves when it comes to natural gas. Geographic isolation and animosity with Azerbaijan long prevented the export of gas to customers in Europe. Recently, however, relations […]

Apparently, free people everywhere are against such tyrannical measures. In Britain, for instance, more than 1,250 members of the clergy are warning Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the ruling government not to implement the use of the passports — which document that holders have received their vaccine — because doing so will create conditions similar to “medical apartheid.” Vaccine czar and MP Nadhim Zahawi has already expanded the use of vaccine passports, and now he’s […]

By B.N. Frank Warnings about totally autonomous vehicles NOT being safe have been ongoing (see 1, 3, 4, 5, 6). Warnings about massive job loss from AVs from have been ongoing too. Nevertheless, investors continue to invest in autonomous vehicles (see 1, 2, 3), particularly trucks (see 1, 2). More from Wired: Trucks Move Past Cars on the Road to Autonomy Money is pouring into autonomous trucking startups, just as many are souring on the short-term prospects for self-driving cars. In 2016, three veterans of the still young autonomous vehicle industry formed Aurora, a startup focused on developing self-driving cars. Partnerships […]

According to CBS Sacramento, “A new analysis finds several counties with above-average vaccination rates also have higher COVID case rates, while case rates are falling in counties with below-average vaccination rates.” The data, published on Saturday, shows Los Angeles, San Diego, Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco counties have rising COVID case rates as well as high vaccination rates. In contrast, Modoc, Glenn, Lassen, Del Norte and San Benito counties have below-average vaccination rates and are seeing […]
Authored by Charlotte Cuthbertson via The Epoch Times, South Texas’s Rio Grande Valley has been the busiest border sector for illegal alien crossings for years. But last week a sudden spike in numbers saw Border Patrol apprehend more than 20,000 illegal immigrants in one week. “It’s the hottest part of the summer and apprehensions are skyrocketing!” Border Patrol Chief for the sector Brian Hastings wrote on Twitter on July 25. Hastings said the number of large groups has increased, with a record-breaking 298 in one group encountered in La Grulla last week. “Within this group, a subject exhibiting COVID-19 related symptoms was transported […]
Two police officers in Colorado have been arrested and charged after beating a suspect bloody during a trespassing call, one seen pistol whipping him over a dozen times, with the local police chief calling their acts “criminal.” The officers, John Haubert and Francine Martinez of the Aurora Police Department, were arrested on Tuesday for a litany of offenses over a July 23 encounter with suspected trespassers, the city government said. Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson played bodycam footage of the incident during a Tuesday press conference, warning the video is “very disturbing” and would “shock the conscience.” “What you’re going to […]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson took his overt downplaying of the Capitol insurrection to a new low on Tuesday night, literally laughing at an officer who had described the vicious beating he suffered that day and the psychological trauma that followed in congressional testimony. Carlson, who has routinely dismissed the violence that occurred during the deadly riot as nothing more than a “political protest that got out of hand,” took aim at the Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone and the three Capitol police officers who emotionally testified about the brutality they witnessed at Tuesday’s hearing before the Jan. 6 House Select […]

I have referenced the bizarre fantasy of Alice In Wonderland in previous posts about Crazy Joe Biden and his precipitous fall into the depths of dementia, but today took the cake. We have entered a lunatic asylum not envisioned by Lewis Carroll. For starters, Joe Biden wants to re-impose a mask mandate on vaccinated Americans in order to protect them from Covid while flinging open the border with Mexico and allowing hundreds of thousands of Covid infected, non-vaccinated illegals to enter the United States and then be shipped to states other than Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Got it? Biden […]
Left-wing Hollywood celebrities were glued to their TV’s Tuesday with the launch of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) January 6 Commission. The stars could barely contain their emotions as they live tweeted their rage at Trump supporters while praising RINO Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for breaking ranks and participating in the hearing. Speaker Pelosi’s commission convened Tuesday in what Republican leaders have labeled a partisan sham to control the narrative over the Capitol riot on January 6. “It’s clear at this point that Nancy Pelosi has cherry-picked the members to serve on this committee. She has pre-written a narrative. Only […]
Earlier today we said that with Chinese stocks suffering historic losses, HK’s tech sector imploding.. … and liquidation fears spreading to other, more serious products such as bonds and FX, it was only a matter of time before China’s “National Team”, i.e., the local plunge protection team, came out in full force to preserve confidence in centrally planned markets. Well, just a few hours later, we learned that sure enough, the local Chinese bat signal summoning the plunge protectors has been activated with local press Securities Daily reporting that “the plunge is unsustainable” and will gradually stabilize. And since the media […]

The United States’ coronavirus death rate is still roughly at a pandemic-low, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended Tuesday that vaccinated individuals and children wear masks indoors. According to Google’s coronavirus tracking system on July 26, 275 people are dying from the virus on a seven day average, while overall infection cases are rising. Around the high of coronavirus deaths on January 20, when President Joe Biden took office, 3,056 people were dying on a seven day average. Since January, coronavirus deaths have steadily decreased – presumably due to the vaccine developed under the Trump administration. On February […]
By Kenny Stancil Human rights and press freedom advocates expressed dismay on Tuesday when whistleblower Daniel Hale, who pled guilty earlier this year to violating the Espionage Act, was sentenced to 45 months in prison for sharing with a journalist classified information about the U.S. military’s drone assassination program. “Whistleblower Daniel Hale has just been sentenced to 45 months in prison for exposing U.S. war crimes,” said anti-war group CodePink. “While his sentencing isn’t the 10 years we feared, it is 45 months too long.” Hale’s lawyers argued in court papers that his humanitarian motives, and the lack of harm resulting […]
The CDC has managed to pull off its greatest deception ever by convincing unwitting Americans to get jabbed with false promises of a mask-free life. On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued yet another advisory on face coverings, this time telling both vaccinated and unvaccinated people to mask up because of the dreaded Covid delta variant. Masks are also recommended for children in schools this fall. “Information on the delta variant from several states and other countries indicates that in rare occasions some vaccinated people infected with the delta variant after vaccination may be contagious and spread the […]
Submitted by Joseph Carson, former chief economist at Alliance Bernstein Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in 2021 faces a similar challenge that former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan faced in 1994. Fast growth as the economy re-opened triggered substantial cyclical inflation pressures, somewhat similar to 1994 when headwinds from tight credit and balance sheets strains faded. Yet, Powell’s policy response to the inflation challenges has been markedly different than Greenspan’s. Powell has employed a “hands-off” approach, maintaining the overly accommodative monetary policy stance, thinking the inflation surge will prove to be temporary. The inflation results for all of 2021 are not in, […]
The US government has seized an ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablet that was bought by a US dealer around the time of the 2003 invasion, and later purchased by craft store chain Hobby Lobby for the Museum of the Bible in Oklahoma. On Tuesday, the US Justice Department announced that Hobby Lobby – whose owners are devout Christians – agreed to forfeit the artifact, which contains a portion of the ancient Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world’s oldest works of literature. “Forfeiture of the Gilgamesh Dream Tablet demonstrates the [DOJ’s] continued commitment to eliminating smuggled cultural property from the US […]
(Natural News) At least 47 published scientific papers confirm that face masks are utterly useless at preventing Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) infection and spread, while another 32 point out the specific health damage caused by wearing a mask. Contrary to government and media claims, face coverings are not in any way a solution to the alleged problem of Chinese Germs – even if fake “doctors” like Tony Fauci insist otherwise. At best, they are a placebo that make the fearful feel protected. At worst, they are a ritualistic rite of passage into the “new normal” that causes plenty of bodily […]

Wade Linford still remembers the days in the mid-2000s when he built his home from scratch. The 40-year-old building contractor can smell the sawdust from when his brother, Auston, and father, Keith, milled the trees and seasoned the wood. Neighbors in his tiny community of Indian Falls, California, also helped craft the two-story structure, beam by beam. “We toiled over that house,” Wade told The Daily Beast. “Every board was cut out of the forest, sanded, and oiled.” It was a place abutting Plumas National Forest where family gathered, a son was born, and dogs and loved ones were buried. They […]

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will spend American taxpayer money, allocated to construct a border wall along the United States-Mexico border, on “environmental restoration,” among other projects.

By B.N. Frank Research has proven that wearing Virtual Reality (VR) headsets can cause behavioral changes, balance issues, cognitive problems, eye problems (soreness, vision changes), headaches, and MORE. Got kids? Children absorb 2-5 times more radiation while wearing headsets than adults! This hasn’t stopped tech companies – including Facebook – from selling VR headsets and programs (see 1, 2). However, today Facebook announced it was recalling millions of VR face liners due to customer complaints.
