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.

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.

Survey Shows Majority of Voters Believe Democrats Utilized ‘Lawfare’ in Trump Trials

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most voters think Democrats are “using the government and legal system in biased ways to” politically damage former President Donald Trump, according to a Harvard-Harris poll.

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

Do you think the legal prosecutions of Donald Trump are fair and unrelated to politics, or do you think the Democrats today are engaged in lawfare — a campaign using the government and the legal system in biased ways to take out political opponents?

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.

Noem Defends Decision to Kill Dog, Saying She ‘Was Being a Responsible Parent, Dog Owner, and Neighbor’

/0 Comments/in , /by

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has defended her decision to kill a young dog many years ago.

The Guardian reported that in her forthcoming book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward,” Noem recounted the story about the dog, Cricket, that had been around 14 months old.

According to the outlet, Noem recalled that she had taken the dog on a pheasant hunt with older canines, desiring to calm Cricket down and start to teach her how to act. But she was “out of her mind with excitement, chasing all those birds and having the time of her life.”

When Noem stopped to speak to a family after that hunt, the dog escaped from her truck and killed the family’s chickens, “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another,” Noem recounted, according to the outlet. When she grabbed the canine, Cricket “whipped around to bite me,” she noted. Noem cut a check “for the price they asked, and helped them dispose of the carcasses littering the scene of the crime,” she reportedly indicated.

“I hated that dog,” Noem noted, according to the Guardian, which reported that she described the dog as “untrainable,” “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with,” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog.”

The Biden Administration’s Latest Move Will Certainly Increase Tensions With Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration took an unprecedented step this afternoon: they accused the Israeli military of human rights violations. It’s no secret that Joe Biden doesn’t want Israel to defeat Hamas. It will create a domestic headache for him at home, as the Democratic Party base has become increasingly hostile to Israel. Rafah is the last remaining Hamas bastion in Gaza; Israel is going to take it. The longer this war continues, the more incensed young voters, whom Biden cannot lose, become at Israel and the Biden White House. Also, these incidents within the IDF were all allegedly committed before October 7 (via Fox News):

The U.S. found five units of the Israel Defense Forces responsible “for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights,” the State Department announced on Monday – though whether funding to the American ally could be cut over such abuses under the so-called “Leahy Laws” still hangs in the balance.

At a press briefing, State Department principal deputy spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters that the human rights violations happened all before the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas militants on southern Israel and none happened in Gaza. Four of the units have “effectively remediated,” he said, while the U.S. continues “in consultations and engagements with the government of Israel” on the remaining unit.

“They have submitted additional information as it pertains to that unit. And we’re continuing to have those conversations consistent with the memorandum of understanding that we have with the government of Israel that was entered into in 2021,” he said. “When conclusions are made under actions that fall under the auspices of the Foreign Assistance Act, we are required to consult with officials from the government of Israel, and that is ongoing. We are engaging with them in a process, and we will make an ultimate decision when it comes to that unit when that process is complete.”

Another Ivy League Says They’re Suspending Pro-Hamas Students

/0 Comments/in , /by

As Townhall has been covering, Columbia University threatened and has now gone through with suspending pro-Hamas student agitators setting up encampments on campus. A statement from Cornell University President Martha E. Pollack on Monday signaled that they too will go through with suspending students, as CNN highlighted as part of their live updates. . .

Local news outlet WENY reported that four students were suspended over the encampment on April 26, including PhD student Momodou Taal who has lamented that pro-Hamas agitators on campus have had their visa status threatened. “They have deliberately targeted students with precarious positions such as visa status,” he whined, even though he notes he was given “a grace period.”

His post also contained telling language about the university, such as how “It is clear that they are more concerned with appeasing their Zionist donors and keeping their hands drenched in blood than over the expressed refusal of their students and workers.”

Cornell has recently made headlines in other ways over such concerning protests. Recall that Cornell Professor Russell Rickford shouted over a megaphone that he found the October 7 attack to be “exhilarating” and “energizing.” This took place days after that attack resulted in 1,200 Israelis killed through unspeakable means, including babies and Holocaust survivors. Victims were also tortured, raped, and taken hostage, with many still in captivity. (Read more from “Another Ivy League Says They’re Suspending Pro-Hamas Students” HERE)

Disney World Appears To Allow Biological Men To Play Female Characters

/1 Comment/in , /by

A family attending an expensive dinner at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge at Walt Disney World Resort had a character experience they were not expecting. According to the father, they complained after the Evil Queen was not what they anticipated.

In 2023, The Walt Disney Company faced criticism from conservatives and some moderates when photos and videos surfaced of a biological male cast member wearing a dress while working as a “Fairy-Godmother-in-training” at the Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique princess boutique for little girls at the Magic Kingdom. This biological male had facial hair and makeup but there was never any clarification as to presented gender identity. For many families, the cast member’s stated gender identity would not have mattered much. Video of the mustached biological male in a dress leading small girls into a salon has resurfaced often by families critical of Disney’s reimagining of traditional values. Of course, for others of a different mindset, there was nothing wrong with this at all and the internet reaction was either intolerant or inappropriate.

According to the father who reached out to That Park Place reporters, the Evil Queen, antagonist of the first Walt Disney animated feature, appeared to be played by a biological male at Artist Point in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort. Story Book Dining at Artist Point is listed by the Walt Disney World website as a premium character dining experience with adults expecting to pay $60 per meal.

According to the father:

While we were waiting for the desserts to come out we received our invitation to meet the Evil Queen which we were really looking forward to. Keep in mind we’ve had other meet and greets with other Villains and they are truly the best character experiences that we’ve ever had so we had high hopes for the Evil Queen leading up. So we all walked over towards the Evil Queen area and while my kids and wife were interacting with the character I was doing some video and took a few pictures from about 10 feet away then handed my iPhone over to the cast member to take some pics for me so I could get in the picture. It was kind of loud inside so I couldn’t really hear what the character was saying until I got face to face (typical conversation distance of a few feet) and then it hit me that the Evil Queen without a doubt had a man’s voice.
