States Investigate Nationwide Surge in Deaths Among People Aged 18-49

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Health departments in several states confirmed to The Epoch Times that they are looking into a steep surge in the mortality rate for people aged 18 to 49 in 2021—a majority of which are not linked to COVID-19.

Deaths among people aged 18 to 49 increased more than 40 percent in the 12 months ending October 2021 compared to the same period in 2018–2019, before the pandemic, according to an analysis by The Epoch Times of death certificate data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The agency doesn’t yet have full 2021 figures, as death certificate data has a lag of up to eight weeks or more.

The surge differed greatly from state to state, with the most dramatic increase in young-to-middle age deaths in the South, Midwest, and the West Coast, while the northeastern states generally saw much milder spikes. Public health authorities in several states with some of the largest increases are examining the issue.

Texas saw the 18 to 49 age mortality jump 61 percent, the second-highest increase in the country. Of that, less than 58 percent was attributed to COVID-19. (Read more from “States Investigate Nationwide Surge in Deaths Among People Aged 18-49” HERE)

There’s Another Looting Crisis in LA Being Ignored by Democrats (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Ritzy shopping centers such as The Grove in Los Angeles put up razor wire barricades in an attempt to dissuade would-be robbers from cleaning out merchandise. In all of these dystopian scenes, little if any punishment was ever handed down. Apparently thieves weren’t content to stick with hitting high-end consumer outlets, though, and now they’ve spent months ransacking trains as they pass through Los Angeles.

Even as the powers that be in Los Angeles ignore the latest fad in illegal procurement of goods just as they did the smash and grabs, the videos from LA’s railroad tracks speak for themselves:

It’s pure insanity, but it’s become par for the course in many liberal enclaves. Angelenos wondering why their amazon package or Wuhan coronavirus test never arrived should probably just start sifting through the packages strewn around on the train tracks — and there are thousands of them in just this one area documented in the tweets above.

Harvard Economist: Expect Inflation for the Next 2 Years

/0 Comments/in , /by

One Harvard University economist is warning that high inflation will remain through 2023.

Last week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in December consumer prices rose by 7% over the previous year — the highest rate in roughly 40 years. Likewise, “real average hourly earnings” — which consider the effect of inflation — decreased by 2.4% from December 2020 to December 2021, slashing the purchasing power of American consumers.

In an interview with Fox Business, Kenneth Rogoff — a Harvard economist and chess Grandmaster — explained that “it’s not so easy to raise interest rates to fight inflation when public and private data is high, when the stock market is high, when housing prices are high, when the economy is still weak.” Central bankers willing to do so would have “a lot of stomach.”

Rogoff added that policymakers at the Federal Reserve must balance the need to cut runaway inflation while avoiding a recession. “And I think the question is: How much are they going to have to step on the brakes to really slow inflation down?” he said, predicting that the Federal Reserve will be conservative in their rate increases.

As the central bank has not used rate hikes to kill high inflation for decades, Rogoff said “it’s not clear how it’s going to work.” (Read more from “Harvard Economist: Expect Inflation for the Next 2 Years” HERE)

CNN’s Parent Company to Banish Conservative Competitor From Lineup

/0 Comments/in , , /by

One America News Network’s (OAN) largest distributor, DirecTV, announced Friday that it will not renew its contract with the outlet, Bloomberg reported.

In an email statement to Bloomberg, DirecTV spokesperson said that “following a routine internal review,” the decision was made to not enter a new contract with Herring Networks Inc., OAN’s owner, once the current contract ends in April. DirecTV made up 90% of the network’s revenue, according to Reuters.

OAN will continue to be provided through Verizon FiOS and various other smaller national pay-TV providers, including KlowdTV and Vidgo, per its website.

The decision follows a concerted campaign from pro-censorship activists and media companies to remove OAN from DirecTV. 16 organizations, including GLAAD, Free Press, and Common Cause, came together to draft a letter to demand DirecTV drop OAN and AT&T severe all ties with the platform in November.

“We are deeply disturbed to learn that AT&T helped establish and fund OAN, a purveyor of racial bigotry, conspiracy theories and calls for anti-democratic violence that endanger lives,” the letter reads. (Read more from “CNN’s Parent Company to Banish Conservative Competitor From Lineup” HERE)

Jen Psaki Slammed for Cheering on Schools to Ignore Republican Governor, Parents Over Masks (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was criticized Sunday on Twitter for cheering on schools that plan to ignore Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s executive order allowing parents to decide whether or not their children wear masks in schools.

Psaki shared a video on Twitter of Youngkin responding to a question about the executive order after the Arlington Public School district said it would maintain a mask requirement for students and staff. Psaki reacted to the video, saying in part, “Thank you to @APSVirginia for standing up for our kids, teachers, and administrators and their safety in the midst of a transmissible variant.”

Her comments drew the ire of many political commentators on Twitter.

Mollie Hemingway, senior editor at The Federalist, tweeted, “Jen, if for some reason you want to mask your children, you are still free to do so. This isn’t a ban on masks, this is a ban on *forced masking* of children against other parents’ wishes.”

Former Air Force Technician Describes Chilling Encounter With a UFO

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Air Force member Adrian Reister claims to have seen multiple unexplainable situations while working in the military.

During an interview with the Liberation Times, the former nuclear weapons technician recounted a pair of paranormal events involving the nuclear weapons at Whiteman Air Force Base from more than 15 years ago, and the details are fascinating.

To make matters more interesting, Reister also claims he saw a being that is almost difficult to describe while on duty at the base.

I saw what I can’t really describe as other than a black mass in the shape of a person standing at 6ft, not really a shadow but something that was slightly blurry and didn’t reflect any light… it quickly turned the corner into the admin area of the shop, and I chased after it like a madman.

As I ran down the length of the wall from the support section and into the admin area I searched high and low, there’s not really a lot of places to hide in that section, just a few offices and a breakroom. I’d been thorough in my search but I still ended up empty-handed.

COVID-1984: Majority of Democrats Favor Government Pushing Extreme Restrictions on Unvaccinated Americans

/0 Comments/in , /by

A majority of Democrats would agree with the U.S. government taking more drastic coronavirus measures, such as confining unvaccinated Americans to their homes “at all times except for emergencies,” a Rasmussen Reports survey revealed.

The survey listed a series of potential coronavirus-related actions, gauging support for a series of penalties, including fines, stay at home orders, and designated facilities for the unvaccinated and critics of the vaccines.

“Would you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose a proposal to limit the spread of the coronavirus by having federal or state governments require that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine?” the survey asked.

While 61 percent, overall, reject that scenario, the survey found 59 percent of Democrats favor the government requiring unvaccinated individuals to stay at home “at all times” with exceptions only for emergencies. Of those, 35 percent of Democrats “strongly” favor that proposal. Another 55 percent of Democrats said they favor the government fining unvaccinated Americans, while 45 percent said they would favor a proposal to limit the spread of the coronavirus “by having federal or state governments require that citizens temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.” (Read more from “COVID-1984: Majority of Democrats Favor Government Pushing Extreme Restrictions on Unvaccinated Americans” HERE)

U.S. Gets Sued Over Details About Biden’s Afghanistan Catastrophe

/0 Comments/in , /by

When Joe Biden abruptly pulled American soldiers out of Afghanistan, leaving behind both Americans and American war machinery to the terror-linked Taliban, there was immediate outrage. . .

Government watchdog Judicial Watch has filed two Freedom of Information Act cases against the Department of State “for records about the censorship of government reports about U.S. tax dollars spent on military support and equipment for Afghanistan.”

Also being sought are records about payments to Afghanistan’s government, or any member of the Taliban, during America’s departure.

First, the organization wants to know the details about what was removed from government websites about the costs of that equipment.

The case is seeking, “All records regarding the editing or removal from any public website of any report pertaining, in whole or in part, to any military equipment or training provided to the government of Afghanistan or any component thereof. This request includes, but is not limited to, any related directives or requests, as well as any related records of communication between any official or employee of the Department of State and any official or employee of any other branch, department, agency, or office of the Federal government.” (Read more from “U.S. Gets Sued Over Details About Biden’s Afghanistan Catastrophe” HERE)

DOJ Raises Stakes With Rarely Used Sedition Charges for These Jan 6 Protesters

/0 Comments/in , /by

The seditious conspiracy charges brought by the Justice Department on Thursday against the leader of the Oath Keepers and other members of the right-wing group signal the government is prepared to take on an ambitious fight to show that they joined the Jan. 6, 2021, attack as part of a coordinated effort to deny President Biden the White House.

The indictment contains the first sedition charges that have been brought following the riot and mark a significant escalation in prosecutors’ efforts by drawing a connection between the physical acts of mayhem that day and the broader effort by former President Trump’s supporters to obstruct Biden from taking office.

The arrest of Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the far-right militia group, followed criticism that the Justice Department, despite filing hundreds of charges, was failing to go after major actors behind the attack.

The criminal statute for seditious conspiracy covers plots to overthrow or attack the government or use force to prevent the execution of U.S. laws. The Justice Department’s case against the leaders of the Oath Keepers alleges that they conspired “to oppose by force the execution of the laws governing the transfer of presidential power.”

“It’s ​​significant because they are so rarely used, and that reflects the gravity of the charges and the difficulties of proving it in court,” said Bruce Hoffman, a counterterrorism and homeland security expert with the Council on Foreign Relations.
