China Hosts ‘Unity’ Talks Between Palestinian Fatah and Hamas Terrorists

/2 Comments/in , /by

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Tuesday that representatives from the two main Palestinian factions, the terrorist organization Hamas and Fatah, made progress at recent “unity talks” held in Beijing.

Lin said Hamas and Fatah sent representatives to Beijing at China’s invitation for “in-depth and candid dialogue on promoting Palestinian reconciliation.”

“The two sides fully expressed their political will of realizing reconciliation through dialogue and consultation, had discussions on many specific issues, and made encouraging progress,” he said.

No announcements have been made and the talks were held without much fanfare. Lin did not indicate exactly when this “dialogue” occurred and the question that allowed him to broach the subject was clearly planted with Chinese state media, so Lin’s press conference on Tuesday looked like the Chinese Communist regime trying to squeeze a little good press out of meetings that did not accomplish much.

Lin said the Palestinian factions “agreed to continue this dialogue process so as to achieve Palestinian solidarity and unity at an early date.” (Read more from “China Hosts ‘Unity’ Talks Between Palestinian Fatah and Hamas Terrorists” HERE)

COVID Vax Company Admits Jab Can Cause Major Side Effect

/4 Comments/in , , /by

In a significant development, AstraZeneca has admitted in court for the first time that its COVID-19 vaccine can lead to a rare but potentially deadly blood clotting side effect. This admission comes amidst a tense legal battle with numerous families alleging harm or loss due to the purportedly “defective” jab.

The condition in question, known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), is a reaction where individuals develop blood clots alongside a low platelet count. AstraZeneca’s acknowledgment, detailed in a legal document submitted to the High Court, marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing litigation, potentially paving the way for case-by-case settlements.

While the vaccine’s potential to cause TTS has been recognized for two years, this is the first time the pharmaceutical giant has conceded to it in a legal setting. Taxpayers are set to bear the financial burden of any potential settlements due to an indemnity deal struck between AstraZeneca and the government during the height of the pandemic.

The admission comes against the backdrop of AstraZeneca reporting robust financial performance, with revenues exceeding £10 billion in the first quarter of 2024. However, amidst the financial success, the company faces mounting legal challenges, with dozens of families seeking compensation for injuries allegedly linked to the vaccine.

Among those seeking redress is Jamie Scott, an IT engineer who suffered a permanent brain injury following a blood clot and brain bleed after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine in April 2021. His case is one of 51 currently before the High Court, collectively seeking damages estimated at around £100 million.

Reacting to AstraZeneca’s admission, Kate Scott, Jamie Scott’s wife, expressed hope for a swift resolution, emphasizing the need for fair compensation and acknowledgment of the impact on affected families.

However, lawyers representing the claimants have criticized AstraZeneca for what they perceive as delaying tactics. Sarah Moore, a partner at law firm Leigh Day, accused the company of prioritizing strategic games over addressing the devastating consequences faced by victims.

Despite the change in language in its recent court submission, AstraZeneca denies any U-turn on acknowledging the vaccine’s association with TTS. The company asserts that causation in individual cases will require expert evidence.

Lawyers representing victims and families argue that the vaccine constitutes a defective product under consumer protection laws, an assertion vehemently denied by AstraZeneca.

Measles Resurgence Sparks Global Health Concerns

/3 Comments/in , /by

Recent data and expert analyses presented at the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Global Congress have sounded the alarm on a concerning resurgence of measles cases worldwide. Despite significant strides in vaccination efforts, measles, a highly contagious childhood disease, is once again on the rise, posing a serious threat to public health.

Dr. Patrick O’Connor, representing the World Health Organization, delivered a grim assessment of the current measles landscape, indicating that reported cases in 2024 are on track to match or surpass the alarming figures of 2023. With reporting delays likely skewing the actual numbers higher, the trend is clearly heading in the wrong direction. This concerning trajectory follows a doubling of measles cases from 2022 to 2023, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

The WHO European Region bears the brunt of this resurgence, with countries such as Yemen, Azerbaijan, and Kyrgyzstan reporting the highest incidence rates globally. Moreover, the number of countries facing significant measles outbreaks has tripled in just one year, underscoring the widespread nature of the problem.

Dr. O’Connor emphasized the critical role of vaccination in curbing measles transmission, noting that any gaps in immunization coverage pose a serious risk for outbreaks. Hanna Nohynek from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare highlighted the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on measles resurgence, citing disruptions to routine childhood vaccinations as a contributing factor.

Drawing from successful elimination efforts in regions like the Americas, experts stress the importance of robust vaccination campaigns, strengthened routine immunization, and addressing barriers to vaccine access. Innovative solutions such as needle-free vaccine patches offer promise in closing immunization gaps and reaching vulnerable populations.

Now It’s the United States That Gets Caught Persecuting Christians

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .A report at the Washington Stand explains that now international religious freedom organizations “are monitoring religious freedom conditions in the United States … and it’s easy to see why.”

Arielle Del Turco, of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council, added, to the publication, “Sadly, American culture is increasingly hostile to traditional Christian beliefs.”

Two recent situations both have developed in the leftist state of Colorado, run now by Democrats in the governor’s office, state House and state Senate. There bureaucrats first accused Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips of discrimination because he wouldn’t promote same-sex marriages with his cake artistry, and then they demanded a web designer promote same-sex weddings if she provided any wedding services.

In both cases the principals are Christians who refused state demands they violate their faith, and in both cases the state was summarily slapped down by the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the state still maintains the so-called “anti-discrimination” agenda under which the two were charged.

Del Turco told the Stand, “To a large extent, we can all intuit that by browsing through a streaming service or scrolling on social media. But these cultural shifts are also having real-work impacts for Christians in America who simply want to go about their lives while staying true to their faith.” (Read more from “Now It’s the United States That Gets Caught Persecuting Christians” HERE)

Explosive Allegations Claim That the CIA Is Operating Ukrainian Online Anti-Trump ‘Troll Farms’ to Influence American Voters and the 2024 Election

/0 Comments/in , , /by

If you’ve spent any time online, you’ve probably stumbled upon those fervent pro-Ukraine accounts that go by the name “NAFO” and sport cute little animated animal photos as their avatars.

As a matter of fact, disgraced former Congressman Adam “Cry Baby” Kinzinger is a proud “fella” of this NAFO online movement. Mr. NAFO! Adam Kinzinger has quite the reputation for spreading loads of fake news and pro-Ukraine propaganda. Remember when he got totally punked and fell for that hilariously phony “Ghost of Kiev” meme? . . .

The explosive, yet-to-be-confirmed allegations are as follows.

⚠️🚨BREAKING: CIA Operates Troll Farms in Kyiv to Influence American Voters and To Assure Biden’s 2024 Win.

A former employee of one of the Kyiv troll factories owned by the head of Zelensky’s office, Andriy Yermak, spoke about how the interference in the upcoming American elections is taking place in Ukraine with the help of the CIA. According to the source, the purpose of the interference is to ensure Biden’s victory over Trump. A former employee showed a video taken inside a troll factory, as well as several photos, guidelines and a list of accounts that trolls use to influence the American voters.

“Long story short we were asked to do everything to prevent Donald Trump from winning the elections. So basically, this topic was added to our main lines of work.

Since then, each of us had to post at least 3 to 5 posts daily posing as the Americas and Europeans, criticizing Donald Trump and praising Biden.

The Americans have even organized a few lectures for us to get a better understanding of American politics, the American mindset the main social and political issues.

Then we were occupied with the topics for the job which sounded like this:

1.Unlike Trump, Biden is a smart and experienced politician.

2. Unlike Trump, Biden will never betray NATO partners. Trump will alienate our partners.

3. Biden will not abandon Ukraine. Biden will protect democracy, while Trump is Putin’s puppet.

I honestly tried to convince myself it’s Okay since Biden is clearly a better option for Ukraine, but it was just too much for me… One thing is to work for the best interests of my country, but interfering in US politics is a whole other thing.”

Tragedy Strikes in North Carolina: US Marshal and Three Officers Killed in Shootout

/0 Comments/in , /by

An ordinary day in a quiet North Carolina neighborhood turned into a scene of horror and tragedy when law enforcement officers were met with a hail of bullets while attempting to serve a warrant. Four officers lost their lives and several others were wounded in the exchange of gunfire.

The incident occurred on Galway Drive, about 20 minutes west of downtown Charlotte, as officers were executing a warrant for a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. What should have been a routine procedure quickly escalated into a violent confrontation.

The initial barrage of bullets claimed the life of the wanted suspect, whose name was not disclosed. However, the danger was far from over. In a cruel twist, a second round of gunfire erupted, catching the officers off guard and resulting in additional casualties.

SWAT teams and patrol units descended on the scene, engaging in a tense standoff that lasted for three hours.

Amidst the chaos, the bravery and sacrifice of the fallen officers stood as a testament to their unwavering commitment to duty. Among them was Officer Joshua Eyer, a decorated member of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department who had been named Officer of the Month just weeks prior. His loss was deeply felt by his colleagues and the community he served.

As the investigation unfolds, questions linger about the motives behind the deadly assault. Two individuals, a woman, and a 17-year-old boy, were taken into custody for questioning as persons of interest. Police discovered a high-powered rifle at the scene.

In the aftermath of the shootout, the community came together to mourn the fallen and offer support to the wounded. As Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles aptly stated, the most fitting tribute we can offer is to honor and respect the courageous men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us each day.

The poll, published Monday, asked 1,961 registered voter respondents:

A majority of 57 percent said they believe Democrats are engaged in “lawfare” against Trump, while 43 percent believe the prosecutions are both fair and apolitical.

Of Republicans, 83 percent think the legal system and government are being used to damage Trump politically, while 31 percent of Democrats and 57 percent of independents feel the same. Conversely, 69 percent of Democrats, 17 percent of Republicans, and 43 percent of independents believe the trials are fair and unrelated to politics.

White House Officially Claims Biden Has Made 148 Mistakes During 2024 Public Remarks

/1 Comment/in , /by

White House communications staff has had to correct President Joe Biden’s public remarks at least 148 times since the beginning of 2024, a review of official White House transcripts shows.

The White House releases an official transcript anytime the president gives a speech or takes questions. Communications staff frequently correct, add to or alter Biden’s official remarks in order to either bring them into compliance with official White House policy or, in some cases, reality, a Daily Caller analysis showed. In several cases, official statements had to be changed to convey the exact opposite of what Biden actually said.

Through 118 statements, speeches and chats with reporters spanning from Jan. 1 to April 24, the White House has officially updated its transcript with corrections to what the president said out loud at least 148 times.

Some of the modifications include corrections to names, dates and titles of organizations. Others change verbs and modify the meaning of the president’s statement entirely. Words that the president didn’t say, but should’ve, according to the White House staff, have also been added to the transcripts.

“It was then, through no — through my American Rescue Plan — which every American [Republican] voted against, I might add — we made the largest investment in public safety ever,” the White House transcript of Biden’s March State of the Union address read.

Tulsi Gabbard on Whether She’d Accept a Trump VP Offer (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard indicated to BlazeTV host Dave Rubin that if former President Donald Trump asked her to serve as his 2024 running mate, she would accept the offer.

Gabbard told Rubin, “If that call came I would say yes.”

She indicated that getting the U.S. “back on track” would involve having courageous government figures “who care more about the country than they do about the political elite in Washington, and actually rooting out the deep rot that exists within our bureaucracies, the administrative state, the deep state in Washington.”

BlazeTV host Steve Deace noted in a tweet that Gabbard is his “prediction for Trump’s running mate.”

Gabbard, who served in Congress as a Hawaii Democrat from early 2013 through early 2021, backed Joe Biden in 2020 when she dropped her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. But she announced in 2022 that she was “leaving the Democratic Party.” (Tulsi Gabbard on Whether She’d Accept a Trump VP Offer (VIDEO)” HERE)
