U.S. Warplanes Engaging Taliban in Effort to Slow Their Advance in Afghanistan

/1 Comment/in , /by

At this point, it’s a 50-50 proposition whether the Taliban will completely overrun Afghanistan before the U.S. retreat is complete.

Joe Biden’s original target date for withdrawal — September 11 of this year — is no longer realistic. The Taliban took another provincial capital on Sunday — the city of Kunduz in northern Afghanistan — and are threatening several others. . .

In order to slow the Taliban’s advance — and give the Afghan government time to flee — U.S. warplanes struck Taliban targets in Helmand Province, including Kandahar, Herat, and Lashkar Gah.

The US has sent B-52 bombers and Spectre gunships to Afghanistan in a bid to stop Taliban insurgents who are marching towards three key cities.

The B-52s are flying into Afghanistan from an airbase in Qatar, hitting targets around Kandahar, Herat, and Lashkar Gah in Helmand province, sources told The Times.

Gates and Epstein Relationship May Have Been More Complicated Than Once Thought

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Bill Gates’ relationship with Jeffrey Epstein might have more layers than many originally thought with more details emerging about the depth of their connection.

According to Rolling Stone, one alleged “protégé” of the deceased financier – a neuroscientist and neurosurgeon named Melanie S. Walker – may be a vital link to the pair as she had eventually become a “mentee” of Epstein’s after he allegedly encouraged her to forego a modeling opportunity and finish medical school instead. Walker served as a top adviser to Gates at his foundation before landing at the World Bank.

Per the outlet, the Gates Foundation had placed Walker at the World Bank as part of a “secondment,” an arrangement that allowed the foundation to pay Walker’s salary despite the fact she worked for the bank.

Walker had graduated from the University of Texas in 1992 and six months later would meet Epstein at the famed Plaza Hotel during a sightseeing trip to New York City. At the time, Epstein was an adviser to Leslie Wexner, owner of Victoria’s Secret, according to The New York Times, which maintained that Walker was one of the intermediaries who would go on to liaise between Gates and Epstein.

Rolling Stone cited a source who claimed Epstein had approached Walker simply because he thought she was attractive. (Read more from “Gates and Epstein Relationship May Have Been More Complicated Than Once Thought” HERE)

‘Where is Your God Now?’ Cops Do Nothing as Antifa Attacks Prayer Event Led by Persecuted Christian Pastor

/1 Comment/in , /by

If you wondered what it looked like when Nazi brown shirts went after the churches in Germany, wonder no more: It probably looked like Portland on Saturday, when black bloc-outfitted antifa thugs burst into a waterfront prayer event featuring persecuted Canadian Pastor Artur Pawlowski. The antifa members sprayed those gathered, including toddlers, with chemicals and lobbed IEDs.

“Where is your God, now?” taunted one of the attackers.

Antifa has attacked at least one church before. Antifa members organized their violent attack via Twitter and other social media platforms. They later gloated on Twitter that they had stolen the Christian group’s food and water.

Portland police watched as antifa bear-sprayed parents and their kids, lobbed “flash bombs” into the sparse crowd, and reportedly threw the group’s sound equipment into the Willamette River. This being Portland, police didn’t arrest antifa members for polluting the river, much less attacking people.

A Teacher’s Union is Suing a Mother for Repeated Attempts to Know What Her Kindergartener is Learning

/0 Comments/in , /by

When it comes to legal battles over Critical Race Theory (CRT), teacher’s unions are not merely willing to defend themselves from lawsuits, they’re filing them as well. On Monday, Nicole Solas, a Rhode Island mom whose daughter will be going into kindergarten, was sued by chapters of the National Education Association (NEA) for submitting multiple requests to find out what her daughter was learning when it comes to lesson plans on concepts such as transgenderism and Critical Race Theory (CRT).

The National Education Association Rhode Island (NEARI) and NEA South Kingstown (NEASK) filed a complaint in Rhode Island Superior Court to prohibit the disclosure of the requested records and “protect teachers’ privacy rights” when it comes to records that Solas was requesting access to.

Ashley Cullinane’s report for local NBC 10 News includes a statement from NEARI Communication Director Stephanie DeSilva Mandeville:

“This action seeks to temporarily restrain the School Department from releasing any information related to these APRA requests,” the union wrote in a statement. “NEARI believes many of these documents are not public records as defined under APRA and/or fall under APRA’s exclusions and therefore are not subject to disclosure.”

Joe Rogan Condemns Vaccine Passports, Says They Take America ‘One Step Closer to Dictatorship’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Influential podcaster Joe Rogan is condemning vaccine passports, which he claims bear the hallmarks of an authoritarian regime rather than a freedom-loving democracy like the United States, “the greatest superpower the world has ever known.”

Pundits like CNN’s Don Lemon, among many others, “are dumb” for championing restrictions on unvaccinated individuals that run directly counter to the traditional freedoms in America, he insisted. Parenthetically, back in July 2019, former President Donald Trump tweeted that Lemon was “the dumbest man on television.”

“They don’t understand history, they don’t understand human beings, they don’t understand human nature. They don’t understand the history of every single country that’s every existed, other than the United States,” the generally liberal host of the Joe Rogan Experience, which has a huge following, declared on Friday.

“Up until 1776, every f—–g country that has ever existed was run by dictators, all of them. This is the first one where you had elected officials. This is the first experiment in self-government that actually worked, and it created the greatest superpower the world’s ever known. It created the greatest cultural machine, the greatest machine of art, and creativity, and innovation right f—–g here,” he said.

Study Finds Greater Antibody Response in Recovered COVID-19 Patients Than Vaccinated Ones

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new study has found that individuals that have previously contracted COVID-19 show a more potent antibody response than those who were solely vaccinated for the respiratory virus.

Conducted by a research team at Rockefeller University in New York, the analysis found “that between a first (prime) and second (booster) shot of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, the memory B cells of infection-naïve individuals produced antibodies that evolved increased neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2,” but also that “no additional increase in the potency or breadth of this activity was observed thereafter.”

Meanwhile, researchers determined that not only do recovered COVID-19 patients possess neutralizing antibodies up to a year after infection, but that such infection simultaneously assists in offering protection against developing variants.

“Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection produces B-cell responses that continue to evolve for at least one year,” the study read. “During that time, memory B cells express increasingly broad and potent antibodies that are resistant to mutations found in variants of concern.” (Read more from “Study Finds Greater Antibody Response in Recovered COVID-19 Patients Than Vaccinated Ones” HERE)

Vaccine-Resistant Lambda Variant is in the U.S.

/1 Comment/in , /by

A new coronavirus mutation known as the lambda variant that is thought to have increased resistance to vaccines has appeared in the United States.

Also known as C.37, the lambda variant was first discovered in Peru in November 2020. Peru has been one of the countries hit hardest by the pandemic, with 595 COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 people, the highest in the world. Peru has relied heavily on the Chinese vaccine known as Sinopharm, which is 79% effective at preventing hospitalizations. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are 94% effective against hospitalization.

The lambda variant has since spread to eight countries in South America and 41 countries around the world, according to global science initiative GISAID.

“There are currently more than 1,300 Lambda (C.37) sequences in the U.S. as of August 4, 2021, and the Lambda variant has been identified in 44 states,” a spokesperson with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently told Newsweek.

‘The Mandates Are Coming’: Fauci Says Full FDA Approval Will Inspire a Flood of Vaccine Requirements

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday that businesses and schools across the country will issue a “flood” of vaccine mandates as soon as the Food and Drug Administration issues full approval for the COVID-19 vaccine.

“Organizations, enterprises, universities, colleges that have been reluctant to mandate at the local level will feel much more confident,” Fauci told USA Today.

“They can say, ‘If you want to come to this college or this university, you’ve got to get vaccinated,” he added. “If you want to work in this plant, you have to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this enterprise, you’ve got to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this hospital, you’ve got to get vaccinated.’” . . .

“The rationale for shutting down was that the hospital system would not be able to handle the surge of cases because everybody was getting sick,” he said. (Read more from “‘The Mandates Are Coming’: Fauci Says Full FDA Approval Will Inspire a Flood of Vaccine Requirements” HERE)

WATCH: Sheriff Refuses to Be ‘Intimidated’ Over Criminal Probe of Andrew Cuomo

/0 Comments/in , /by

The sheriff of New York’s Albany County said Saturday he refused to be “intimidated” regarding the criminal probe of an allegation Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) sexually harassed a former executive assistant.

The woman, identified as “Executive Assistant #1,” filed a criminal complaint against Cuomo at the sheriff’s office Thursday, alleging several incidents of sexual harassment, Newsweek reported.

“The former aide to the three-term governor was one of the 11 women included in a blistering 165-page report released by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Tuesday, alleging numerous instances of sexual harassment by Cuomo,” the outlet said.

At a press conference Saturday regarding the complaint, Sheriff Craig Apple told reporters the investigation was in the early stages and he would not rush or delay the probe because the claims were against the governor.
