Brain Inflammation and the mRNA Vaccines

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Three large insurance databases showed sharp increases in cases of severe brain inflammation after the Covid mRNA shots, according to a new peer-reviewed paper.

People who received the Pfizer jab or booster had a 40 to 70 percent higher chance over the next six weeks of encephalitis or encephalomyelitis. The Moderna jab carried an even higher risk after the second primary dose or a booster.

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain itself, while encephalomyelitis is inflammation of nerve sheaths in the brain or spinal cord. Both can range from relatively mild conditions to serious or even fatal illnesses. The researchers reported 47 cases following Pfizer’s jab; they did not disclose an exact figure for Moderna’s.

Though the finding was published in the peer-reviewed journal Vaccine, it has received little attention – in part because the authors presented the findings in a way that made them seem less statistically robust than they were. (Read more from “Brain Inflammation and the mRNA Vaccines” HERE)

Sports Star Says ‘God Created Adam and Eve,’ All Hell Breaks Loose

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A retired soccer star whose opinions about gender, based on biblical standards, appeared on social media has been given a suspended 10-month jail term for believing that men are men and women are women, as God created them.

The abuse by the justice system in Greece of retired football legend Vassilis Tsiartas has been profiled in a column by Ben Johnson at Washington Stand.

The report explains Tsiartas also was given a fine, suspended, for being “transphobic.”

His comments on social media came in his opposition to a law that would have lowered the age in that nation to legally change one’s gender to 15.

He initially responded, “I hope that the first sex changes will be made to the children of those who voted for this abomination,” and he suggested lawmakers there may as well “legalize pedophiles and complete their crimes” against nature.

Man Arrested for Joking About COVID

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Louisiana man is fighting in court for the First Amendment right to express satire after he made a joke about COVID-19, and was arrested by a sheriff’s armed SWAT team that confronted him with guns drawn. . .

He had posted a joke online comparing the COVID-19 pandemic to a zombie apocalypse, and his Facebook friends all got the comedy.

But his post, using some pretty flamboyant language and references to the Brad Pitt zombie movie “World War Z,” also drew the attention of the local sheriff’s office.

His joke was that the sheriff’s officers had been ordered to shoot the “infected.”

The institute explained what followed: “Waylon was taken to jail and booked, but the absurd charge was dropped when a prosecutor reviewed the case. The arrest was plainly an overreaction and trampled Waylon’s free speech rights, but when Waylon brought a civil-rights lawsuit, the deputy responsible for the arrest was granted qualified immunity. To add insult to injury, the court also said that Waylon didn’t have any free speech rights to make a joke in the first place. Now, Waylon is appealing this decision with the help of the Institute for Justice (IJ), which defends First Amendment rights and challenges immunity doctrines nationwide.” (Read more from “Man Arrested for Joking About COVID” HERE)

Sarah Palin Tells Supporters to Stop Donating to the GOP: ‘They Opposed Me Every Step of the Way’; Midterm Election Results: These Key Races Have Yet to Be Called

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Independent UK. Sarah Palin has gone nuclear on the Republican Party, claiming the GOP sabotaged her Alaska House race and that they deserved their drubbing in the midterms.

In a conspiracy-laden Instagram post, Ms Palin blamed the “cockamamie” ranked choice voting system, Senator Lisa Murkowski and the “dark, dysfunctional GOP machine” after she was seemingly trounced by Democrat Mary Peltola for a second time in three months.

“The GOP establishment deserves losses until it’s willing to fight for what is right,” the former vice presidential candidate wrote.

“They opposed me every step of the way in my Congressional bid, which is par for the course.”

With 80 per cent of votes tallied in the Alaska first congressional House race, Ms Peltola appears to have an unassailable lead with 47 per cent. Ms Palin is second on 26.6 per cent and fellow Republican Nick Begich is on 24 per cent.

Midterm Election Results: These Key Races Have Yet to Be Called

By Fox News. The United States midterm elections may have been held on Tuesday, but Americans still do not know who will have control of either the House of Representatives or the Senate.

Outstanding mail-in ballots are still being counted in several states, as anxious voters wait to see if their preferred candidates will prevail. Republicans appear to be inching toward a House majority, but the Senate remains a toss-up as important races in Arizona and Nevada are unresolved, and the Georgia Senate race will head to a Dec. 6 runoff. . .

The Fox News Decision Desk has called the race for all but three races where mail-in ballots are still being counted. The Georgia Senate race between Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., and Republican challenger Herschel Walker will head to a runoff on Dec. 6, because neither candidate received more than 50% of the vote.

The outstanding races are in Arizona, where Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly leads Republican Blake Masters, and Nevada, where Republican Adam Laxalt leads incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.

The Senate race in Alaska uses ranked choice voting and will head to a runoff with the top two vote-getters. Currently, Republican challenger Kelly Tshibaka leads incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, ahead of all other candidates. (Read more from “Midterm Election Results: These Key Races Have Yet to Be Called” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A group of teenagers collapsed after using a Ouija board at a school in Colombia, with five taken to hospital, according to reports.

Teachers at the Agricultural Technical Institute in Hato are said to have found 11 students, aged 13 to 17, passed out in a corridor.

The teenagers were suffering from violent vomiting, abdominal pain and muscle spasms. While most were treated at a health centre nearby, five were taken to the Manuela Beltrán Hospital.

After receiving treatment, doctors said in medical reports that the teenagers suffered from food poisoning. The rectory of the school is waiting to confirm the exact details surrounding the incident with authorities before ruling on the case.

Jose Pablo Toloza Rondón, the mayor of Hato said: “The children were passed out, at the time they were found they were short of breath and thick drool was coming out of their mouths. (Read more from “Eleven Children Collapse at School After Playing ‘Ouija Board Game’” HERE)

Bombshell: About Those FBI Informants Concerning Jan. 6…

/0 Comments/in , , /by

While we’ve all been heavily focused on the election, the NY Times dropped an important story about Jan. 6 that many didn’t notice.

Remember when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) grilled an FBI official about FBI or confidential human sources (informants) who may have been involved or had knowledge about Jan. 6?

Turns out that one of the top people in the Oathkeepers — their vice president — was an FBI informant, according to the NY Times.

An F.B.I. informant who was embedded for months in the inner circle of Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers militia, is likely to testify as a defense witness at the seditious conspiracy trial of Mr. Rhodes in connection with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The informant, Greg McWhirter, served as the Oath Keepers’ vice president but was secretly reporting to the F.B.I. about the group’s activities in the weeks and months leading up to the Capitol attack, according to two people familiar with the matter.

WATCH: Tucker Thinks He Knows Why the Midterms Went So Wrong for Republicans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Fox News’s Tucker Carlson gave his theory on Wednesday for why Republicans had such a disappointing midterm election despite a favorable landscape.

While plenty have made the case that candidate quality issues, suburban women, abortion, or former President Trump were to blame, Carlson suggested something else entirely.

“[T]he mechanics of an election. They matter. In fact, they matter sometimes more than any individual running in the election. The way people vote makes a big difference to the outcome…”

He noted the Pennsylvania Senate race was a perfect example.

Two and a half years ago, the last administration, its Republican allies in Congress, watched passively, seemingly in glassy eyed sedation as the Democratic Party used the pretext of COVID to rewrite election laws around the country in order to get its own candidates into office. They didn’t do it by accident. They knew what they were doing. Last night those laws, many of which are still on the books, paid off generously. John Fetterman bombed in his one public debate. You saw it. He humiliated himself. He made a mockery of the election, but it didn’t matter by that point.

Thanks to early voting, Fetterman’s margin was already in the bank. Nearly 70% of Democrats had voted early in the Pennsylvania races. Only 20% of Republicans did. It’s over, but it doesn’t need to be repeated. These are fixable problems. You can get your message out. You can force the other side if you try hard enough to agree on fair election rules, but you can’t do any of that unless you acknowledge these problems exist.

Trump Reacts to Midterm Results

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Former President Donald Trump celebrated the outcome of the 2022 midterms late Tuesday night, posting that it was “a great evening,” and congratulating winning Republican candidates.

“174 wins and 9 losses, A GREAT EVENING, and the Fake News Media, together with their partner in crime, the Democrats, are doing everything possible to play it down. Amazing job by some really fantastic candidates!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Republican Party scored several notable victories on Election Day, including a strong performance from Ohio Senator-elect JD Vance against Democrat Tim Ryan. Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders won the Arkansas gubernatorial race, becoming the first woman to do so, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defeated Democrat Charlie Crist by nearly 20 points.

Republicans still have a chance to win the Senate and the House, but the predicted “red wave” did not materialize in either chamber. The GOP currently stands at 47 seats in the Senate with leads in Wisconsin and Nevada and a runoff between two Republican candidates in Alaska, according to the Associated Press. To get to a majority, Republicans would need to win in either Georgia, where Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock is likely headed to a runoff against Republican challenger Herschel Walker, or in Arizona, where as of late Wednesday morning, The New York Times showed the race leaning toward Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly. (Read more from “Trump Reacts to Midterm Results” HERE)

‘Titanic Clash’ Brewing Between Trump and Desantis After Midterm Results, Predicts Brexit’s Nigel Farage

By Breitbart. Brexit leader Nigel Farage predicted that a “titanic clash” is brewing between Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the two leading contenders for the Republican nomination for President in 2024.

Speaking from the mid-term battleground state of Arizona on Wednesday morning, Nigel Farage said that while Republican gains in Congress will limit President Biden’s ability to govern, the failure of a so-called ‘Red Wave’ to materialise will likely elevate Ron DeSantis in the eyes of conservative voters as it will not provide the “huge springboard” Donald Trump had hoped for before his expected announcement of his intention to run for president again.

The veteran political campaigner turned GB News host said that discussions “within the Republican party as to whether they should pick Trump or DeSantis is going to reach fever pitch, in my opinion, over the next few weeks, and I say that as a friend of Donald Trump.” (Read more from “‘Titanic Clash’ Brewing Between Trump and Desantis After Midterm Results, Predicts Brexit’s Nigel Farage” HERE)

Trump Attacks Desantis: I Got More Votes Than Him, Needs to Be ‘More Gracious’ to Me. I Won His Primary.

By Daily Wire. Former President Donald Trump (R) tried to downplay Florida Governor Ron DeSantis‘ (R) dominant election victory on Tuesday night, claiming that his victory in 2020 in Florida was more impressive than DeSantis’ victory last night, even though facts do not support that notion.

“Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million?” Trump said on social media. “Just asking?”

It impossible to compare the turnout for midterm elections to the turnout for presidential elections because the turnout for presidential elections is always higher. What can be compared, though, is the margin of victory.

In 2020, Trump won the state by 3.3 points or 371,686 votes. DeSantis won the state last night by 19.4 points or 1,507,081 votes. (Read more from “Trump Attacks DeSantis: I Got More Votes Than Him, Needs to Be ‘More Gracious’ to Me. I Won His Primary.” HERE)

Guess What’s Causing Delayed Results in Nevada?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The race between Republican Adam Laxalt and Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan is razor thin as votes in Nevada continue to be counted.

But according to the New York Times, a new batch of mail-in votes will delay final counts.

“Overwhelmed election officials in Nevada say that they have been flooded by thousands of mail-in ballots, and that it may take several days to count the votes and upload results. Last year, the state began requiring that mail-in ballots be sent to every registered voter. While ballots must be postmarked by Election Day, they can be counted if they arrive as late as Saturday,” the New York Times reports. “Elections officials have emphasized the need for patience and have not offered predictions on how quickly they will be able to offer tallies. Jamie Rodriguez, the interim registrar of voters in Washoe County, said she was expecting roughly 16,000 mail-in ballots to arrive on Election Day. She said that those votes would not be counted until Thursday because poll workers were so behind.” (Read more from “Guess What’s Causing Delayed Results in Nevada?” HERE)
