Oath Keepers Leader Pleads Not Guilty to Seditious Conspiracy Charge

/0 Comments/in , /by

Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the right-wing Oath Keepers who was charged earlier this month with seditious conspiracy for his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, pleaded not guilty to the various charges on Tuesday.

Rhodes and most of his co-defendants facing the sedition charge entered not guilty pleas at a preliminary hearing before a federal judge in Washington, D.C.

If convicted of the seditious conspiracy count, they face a maximum possible sentence of 20 years in prison.

The not guilty pleas were expected at this early stage of the proceedings, and all of the defendants could still plead guilty if federal prosecutors offer plea agreements.

The Justice Department is accusing Rhodes, a 56-year-old Yale University Law School graduate, with leading the alleged conspiracy to use force in order to deny President Biden the White House in the weeks after the November 2020 presidential election.

The SAT Goes Fully Digital in Bid to Stay Relevant and Accommodate Modern Sensitivities

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gone are the days of scrambling to find a No. 2 pencil with a decent eraser as the College Board moves to implement completely digital standardized testing. The education system of yore continues to become a distant memory.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that by 2024 the scholastic aptitude test — commonly referred to as the SAT — will be solely a digital examination. Students will be expected to complete the SAT on either a laptop or tablet device in a proctored testing center.

The test’s new digital format will be two hours instead of three, shorten reading passages, and allow students to use calculators throughout the entirety of the math section.

The College Board reports that 80% of students who took the digital test in 2021 found it to be less stressful.

One sixteen-year-old student said, “I definitely preferred that format with the shorter passages, just because it was a lot easier to read and easier to stay focused.” (Read more from “The SAT Goes Fully Digital in Bid to Stay Relevant and Accommodate Modern Sensitivities” HERE)

Disturbing: Iran Only ‘Months’ From Making Nuclear Bomb

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran’s Islamic regime is trying to delay negotiations on its nuclear program because it is only 12 to 18 months away from developing a bomb, according to the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas told Republican leaders at a briefing that Russia is trying to take the lead on negotiations and has a secret agreement with Iran.

“The Biden administration still thinks that negotiating at the table is the way to go,” he said.

The GOP leader said he suspects Tehran’s “strategy is to delay the negotiations until they can achieve a nuclear bomb.”

“By most estimates, without getting into classified, they are on the cusp of their enrichment to nuclear grade that could be delivered and a nuclear bomb within the next year to year and a half,” the Texas lawmaker said. “We have to make some serious decisions at that point.” (Read more from “Disturbing: Iran Only ‘Months’ From Making Nuclear Bomb” HERE)

Hospital Denies Unvaccinated Patient Spot on ‘Active’ Kidney Transplant List (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A man seeking a kidney that could save his life is claiming that he has been denied a place on the active transplant list because of his COVID-19 vaccination status.

Shamgar Connors, 42, is a husband and father of two. He and his wife, a nurse, decided against taking the COVID-19 vaccine after the entire family suffered through the disease last year. However, a doctor at University of Virginia (UVA) Hospital allegedly told him that despite his prior COVID-19 infection, his unvaccinated status will not allow him an “active” spot on the list for a life-saving kidney transplant.

“Art said you’re not interested in the COVID vaccine,” UVA Hospital’s Dr. Karen Warburton said to Connors, according to a recording of the call obtained by Fox News Digital. “So, it is a requirement for you to be active.”

According to the UVA Hospital website, Dr. Warburton is an associate professor with an American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) certification in nephrology, a specialization of internal medicine focused on the kidneys. Her clinical practice is centered on pancreas and kidney transplants.

“I just had COVID, so I don’t — so why would I get the vaccine?” Connors responded on the phone. However, the hospital did not budge, according to Connors.

Young Dad Removed From Heart Transplant List Because He’s Unvaxxed (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 31-year-old father has been removed from the heart transplant list at a Boston hospital because he is refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, his family said.

DJ Ferguson was first on the list to receive the transplant at Brigham and Women’s Hospital — but he is no longer eligible because of his vaccination status, CBS Boston reported.

His father, David Ferguson, said his son — who is fighting for his life in the hospital and is in desperate need of the transplant — doesn’t believe in the COVID-19 vaccine.

“It’s kind of against his basic principles, he doesn’t believe in it. It’s a policy they are enforcing and so because he won’t get the shot, they took him off the list of a heart transplant,” David told the outlet.

Will They or Won’t They? Ukraine Insists ‘No Reason to Panic’ as Russia Invasion Fears Grow

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukrainian officials have attempted to ease concerns about a possible Russian invasion, telling their citizens there is “no reason to panic,” despite the US and its NATO allies preparing to provide additional support.

On Monday, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said the situation is “under control,” while Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov affirmed Russia’s armed forces had not yet formed battle groups “which would have indicated that tomorrow they could launch an offensive.”

“There are risky scenarios. They’re possible and probable in the future,” Reznikov told Ukraine’s ICTV in an interview before adding that “as of today … such a threat doesn’t exist.”

Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, sounded the same message, saying the military buildup “is not news.”

“As of today, we don’t see any grounds for statements about a full-scale offensive on our country,” Danilov said. (Read more from “Will They or Won’t They? Ukraine Insists ‘No Reason to Panic’ as Russia Invasion Fears Grow” HERE)

Could This Anthony Fauci Conspiracy Theory Actually Be Real? Just Look at the Dates

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Newly-released emails by the House Oversight and Reform Committee reveal the lengths that the top U.S. health officials went to in order to suppress the lab-leak theory of COVID-19 origin.

Emails to and from Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Francis Collins, former director of the National Institutes of Health, show that the two men were engaged in efforts to suppress the lab-leak theory and portray it as a “conspiracy.” Their concerns began after reputable scientists from a number of institutions began floating the idea that COVID-19 had originated in a lab setting in early 2020.

In June 2021, emails to Fauci from Dr. Kristian Andersen at the Scripps Research Institute and three of his colleagues were unearthed by a Freedom of Information Act request. In them, Andersen said that he and his colleagues, Dr. Edward C. Holmes of the University of Sydney, Dr. Robert F. Garry of Tulane University and Dr. Michael Farzan at Scripps, found that qualities of SARS-CoV-2 were “inconsistent” with natural evolution and that it was possible the virus originated in a lab.

That email was sent Jan. 31, 2020, and those experts echoed those sentiments at a teleconference the following day, Feb. 1, as Nicholas Wade reports for City Journal. Yet, just a few days later on Feb. 4, Andersen emailed Fauci to call the idea of a lab origin a “crackpot” theory that was “demonstrably” inaccurate.

Andersen then publicly campaigned with numerous colleagues against the lab-leak theory, including in an influential Nature Magazine article published in March 2020. (Read more from “Could This Anthony Fauci Conspiracy Theory Actually Be Real? Just Look at the Dates” HERE)

Joe Breaks Promise: ‘In a Biden White House, There Will Be No Bullying of the Media’

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden broke his 2020 campaign promise Monday not to bully the news media when he called Fox News’ Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch” on a hot mic in response to a question about inflation at the White House.

As Breitbart News reported:

The hot mic occurred during a White House press conference Monday afternoon when Peter Doocy asked the president if rising inflation will severely hurt the Democrats in the coming mid-terms.

“Do you think inflation is a political liability in the mid-terms?” Doocy asked the president.

“It’s a great asset,” the president sarcastically responded. “More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch.”

Fearsome Fighter! Kamala Warns ‘Serious Consequences’ if Putin Invades Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris warned Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine on Tuesday, in an interview in Wisconsin.

“If Russia and Vladimir Putin violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine there’s going to be serious consequences, and we’re very clear about that,” Harris told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Monday.

Harris’ comment is the highest level response from the administration on the escalating tensions in Ukraine since President Joe Biden commented on the issue last week.

Biden raised the alarm in Ukraine after he suggested it was a foregone conclusion that Putin would act in some way to challenge the nation’s territorial boundaries.

“My guess is he will move in, he has to do something,” Biden said at his press conference on Wednesday. (Read more from “Fearsome Fighter! Kamala Warns ‘Serious Consequences’ if Putin Invades Ukraine” HERE)

Inside the Latest Protest Against Vaccine Coercion at the Nation’s Capital

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thousands from across the world gathered in the U.S. capital to protest the Covid-19 vaccination mandates recently put in place in cities across the country, most prominently last week in Washington, D.C., in an event called “Defeat the Mandates: An American Homecoming.” Protesters marched from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, where they heard speeches and music, all encouraging noncompliance of the vaccine mandates.

Speakers ranged from doctors to comedians to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The overall message of the day was clear: vaccine mandates are unconstitutional and must be abolished. Nearly every speaker also preached a more surprising message of love, bipartisanship, unity, and peace. . .

“You understand 58 years ago we were standing in this square, trying to unite the world to come together to fight against the tyranny of their time. Now it is our time to fight against the tyranny of our time.”

Jenkins said Americans are loving people, and it will take courage, sacrifice, and love of one another to save the nation from succumbing to tyrannical mandates. In a moment of what can only be described as pure endearment, he even asked protestors to hug one another, many of whom did.

Through much of the protest, amid audience-wide chants of saving the children and ending the tyranny, music from solo artists and a live band blared through the speakers in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Other common themes include trusting God, distrusting the media, and a strong disdain for big pharma and the Centers for Disease Control, World Health Organization, and National Institutes of Health.
