Top General Warns U.S. About China’s Military Progress: ‘We Have to Do Something’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Four-star General John E. Hyten, the outgoing Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned this week that communist China’s military progression is “stunning” and that the U.S. must take immediate action to remain the world’s preeminent superpower.

Hyten made the remarks following China’s second hypersonic missile test, which reportedly caught U.S. intelligence officials off guard.

“Calling China a pacing threat is a useful term because the pace at which China is moving is stunning,” Hyten said on Thursday. “The pace they’re moving and the trajectory they’re on will surpass Russia and the United States if we don’t do something to change it. It will happen. So I think we have to do something.”

“It’s not just the United States but the United States and our allies because that’s the thing that really changes the game,” Hyten added. “If it’s the United States only, it’s going to be problematic in five years. But if it’s the United States and our allies, I think we can be good for a while.”

Hyten warned that the U.S. is currently only making “marginal progress” in responding to the growing Chinese threat because “the Department of Defense is still unbelievably bureaucratic and slow.” (Read more from “Top General Warns U.S. About China’s Military Progress: ‘We Have to Do Something'” HERE)

Joe Biden Is Reportedly Considering Paying Illegal Aliens $450K Each

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s administration is considering a plan that would give border crossers, who were subjected to former President Donald Trump’s “Zero Tolerance” policy, about $450,000 each in a reparations-style payout.

Trump had instituted the Zero Tolerance policy at the United States-Mexico border in 2018 to reduce illegal immigration. The policy, as Breitbart News reported at the time, had been effective since at least before 2001.

As a result of the policy, adult border crossers were often put into separate holding facilities from the children they arrived with at the southern border. Since then, the border crossers who were subjected to the policy have sued the federal government.

The Biden administration, the Wall Street Journal reveals, is now weighing whether to provide those border crossers with $450,000 each as part of a payout in the lawsuits filed.

In some instances, a migrant family could secure about $1 million from such a payout, more than some of the American families received following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The payout, overall, could cost American taxpayers more than $1 billion. (Read more from “Joe Biden Is Reportedly Considering Paying Illegal Aliens $450K Each” HERE)

County Has Highest COVID Case Rate In Country, Despite Nearly 100% Vaccination Rate

/0 Comments/in , , /by

With 99.7% of adults in the Irish county of Waterford having received the COVID shots, they have the highest per-capita case rate of COVID anywhere in the country. Are they now going to suggest it’s the fault of the 0.3%?!

The Irish Times reported last week that with one Waterford city district at a 14-day incidence rate of 1,486 cases per 100,000 of the population, Waterford has the highest incidence rate of anywhere in Ireland. The COVID case rate is three times the national average, which in itself has been increasing steadily in recent weeks, despite 91% of Irish adults being vaccinated. However, Waterford takes the cake.

“Waterford has the highest rate of vaccination in the country with 99.7 per cent of adults over the age of 18 (as registered in the last census) fully vaccinated,” reports the Irish Times. “The county has gone from having one of the lowest rates of Covid-19 infection in Ireland to one of the highest.”

How can a vaccine that is this leaky, and apparently even counterproductive, continue to be pushed on a population even if it had zero side effects? How many more examples of this do we need to see?

And no, it’s not just mild cases. Ireland has the highest number of people in the hospital with COVID since March, and the trajectory is getting worse. This is with the highest vaccination rate in the EU – over 90% of those over 16 – and it’s particularly bad in the most vaccinated county of Ireland. The state’s chief medical officer, Dr. Tony Holohan, said he was “increasingly worried about the rising incidence of the disease nationwide” and that the primary focus “must be to protect the most vulnerable from Covid-19.” He then proceeded to blame the unvaccinated! Gee, if just 9% of those over 16 in the country are unvaccinated and just 0.3% in the worst area, what percentage of the vulnerable do you think are not vaccinated?! And wasn’t the vaccine designed to protect “the most vulnerable?” (Read more from “County Has Highest COVID Case Rate In Country, Despite Nearly 100% Vaccination Rate” HERE)

Study: This $4 Generic Antidepressant Significantly Reduces COVID-19 Hospitalizations

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An inexpensive, generic antidepressant has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of severe COVID-19 in clinical trials.

Fluvoxamine — a readily available pill used to treat depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder — dramatically reduces serious illness and death from COVID-19 when prescribed early, according to a study published in the journal Lancet Global Health.

There were 1,497 COVID-positive patients in Brazil involved in the study; 741 patients were given fluvoxamine and 756 were given a placebo. The study — which was performed from Jan. 20 until Aug. 5 — found that patients who received fluvoxamine saw their hospitalizations or long-term medical observation rates decrease by nearly one-third.

The clinical trial found using the antidepressant for 10 days decreased the absolute risk by 5%, and there was a relative risk reduction of 32% compared to the control group. (Read more from “This $4 Generic Antidepressant Significantly Reduces COVID-19 Hospitalizations” HERE)

Report: North Korea to Face Food Shortage Through 2025

/0 Comments/in , /by

North Korea’s totalitarian government has told its people to tighten their belts — literally — for at least another three-plus years before Pyongyang plans on reopening the country’s land border with China, Radio Free Asia reported this week.

“Two weeks ago, they told the neighborhood watch unit meeting that our food emergency would continue until 2025,” a resident of the city of Sinuiju, near the China border, was quoted as telling the outlet. “Authorities emphasized that the possibility of reopening customs between North Korea and China before 2025 was very slim.”

North Korean authorities closed the border with China, its largest trading partner, in January of last year in a bid to stop the spread of COVID-19. The move exacerbated inflation and food shortages caused in recent years by ongoing US-led sanctions as well as typhoon-induced flooding.

“Some of the residents are saying that the situation right now is so serious they don’t know if they can even survive the coming winter,” the Sinuiju resident went on. “They say that telling us to endure hardship until 2025 is the same as telling us to starve to death.” (Read more from “Report: North Korea to Face Food Shortage Through 2025” HERE)

White Exec Who Sued for Reverse Discrimination Wins $10 Million Suit

/1 Comment/in , /by

A former top executive at a North Carolina-based health care system has won $10 million in a legal battle over his claim that he lost his job because he is a white man.

David Duvall, a former senior vice president of marketing and communication at Novant Health, was awarded the money by a federal jury in Charlotte on Tuesday.

In his lawsuit, Duvall had alleged that he was pushed out of his job without warning or explanation in July 2018 as the company tried to diversify top leadership positions.

“We are pleased that the jury agreed that Duvall’s race and gender were unlawful factors in his termination — that he was fired to make room for more diverse leaders at Novant,” his attorney, S. Luke Largess, said in a statement to the Winston-Salem Journal. (Read more from “White Exec Who Sued for Reverse Discrimination Wins $10 Million Suit” HERE)

Fans hung a huge “Let’s Go Brandon” banner Wednesday night during the World Series.

In an Instagram photo shared by Old Row, fans hung a banner with the popular anti-Joe Biden saying, and it was at least 15 seats long. The saying became popular after a reporter claimed NASCAR fans were saying it instead of “F**k Joe Biden.”

As I’ve said too many times to count, the “F**k Joe Biden” and “Let’s Go Brandon” signs and chants aren’t going away. (Read more from “Fans Hang ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Banner During World Series Game” HERE)

Loudoun County Superintendent Requested SWAT Team at Board Meeting

/1 Comment/in , /by

The sheriff of Loudoun County denied the county school superintendent’s request for a standby SWAT team, riot control unit, and undercover officers at an August school board meeting.

The county has become a hotbed of controversy in recent months, with dozens of parents protesting at school board meetings over critical race theory and revelations the superintendent and board members allowed a male student charged with sexual assault to move to a different school where he committed a second assault.

Loudoun County Sheriff Michael Chapman said in emails reported by Fox News that it was “extraordinary” that Superintendent Scott Ziegler would request a K-9 unit explosive device sweep, an on-site task force, undercover officers in the public crowd, and the sheriff office’s civil defense unit and special operations team after hiring a private security company.

The civil defense unit is the sheriff’s office riot control unit, and the special operations team is the office’s equivalent of a SWAT team. (Read more from “Loudoun County Superintendent Requested SWAT Team at Board Meeting” HERE)

Government Experiment: FDA Member Admits He’s Not Sure if Vax Is Safe for Kids but Approves It Anyway; Nearly 100 Studies Show Natural Immunity Superior to COVID Vaccine

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. At a meeting of the Food and Drug Administration’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, a voting member admitted he wasn’t sure about the COVID shot’s long-term risk to children despite the committee voting to recommend the Pfizer vaccine for kids ages 5-11.

The committee considered a voting question that read, “Based on the totality of scientific evidence available, do the benefits of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine when administered as a 2-dose series … outweigh its risks for use in children 5-11 years of age?”

While considering the question, one member openly admitted they couldn’t be certain the vaccine is safe while advocating for children to be injected with it, saying, “We’re never going to learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it.”

With one member abstaining, the advisory committee voted 17-0 on Tuesday to recommend the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot for emergency use authorization for children aged 5-11. The FDA is set to make a final ruling in the coming days. Should the FDA approve the vaccine for that age group, children in California will be forced to get the shot in order to attend school.

Nearly 100 Studies Show Natural Immunity Superior to COVID Vaccine

By WND. As the federal and local governments double down on vaccine mandates, a new study by the Yale School of Public Health offers the latest evidence that the immunity acquired by COVID-19 infection is superior to the immunity from vaccination.

Another 91 studies with the same conclusion has been compiled by Dr. Paul Elias Alexander and several other prominent colleagues.

“We should not force COVID vaccines on anyone when the evidence shows that naturally acquired immunity is equal to or more robust and superior to existing vaccines. Instead, we should respect the right of the bodily integrity of individuals to decide for themselves,” Alexander writes for the Brownstone Institute.

He is a former assistant professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, in evidence-based medicine and research methods; a former adviser to WHO-PAHO in Washington, D.C., and a former senior adviser for COVID pandemic policy at Health and Human Services.

Alexander charged that public health officials, the medical establishment and establishment media are “misleading the public with assertions that the COVID-19 shots provide greater protection than natural immunity.” (Read more from “Nearly 100 Studies Show Natural Immunity Superior to COVID Vaccine” HERE)
