California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has decided to let a “state of emergency” that has been in effect for three years and mandated the coronavirus vaccination for students in grades K-12 expire at the end of February. Once the vaccine receives final approval from the FDA, Newsom has promised to make it mandatory for K-12 pupils to have it before they can attend school in person full-time (FDA). But the policy has been delayed, reportedly because of administrative concerns. A Democrat in the state legislature proposed a measure last year to make the coronavirus injection one of the necessary vaccines…

The U.S. ski team, including stars Mikaela Shiffrin and Travis Ganong, will wear brand-new race outfits at the World Championships. Additionally, they want widespread awareness of the issue of global warming. The team’s uniforms are mostly blue and white, representing icebergs in the sea. The idea stems from a satellite image showing icebergs melting rapidly in the face of rising temperatures. Kappa, the team’s technical gear sponsor, worked with the non-profit group Protect Our Winters to create the suit (POW). The World Championships begin on Monday with the women’s Alpine combined event and finish on February 19 in Courchevel and…
Allotted funding would be sent to Minnesota’s Department of Public Defense. A key element in the nearly occurring strike in Minnesota last year was a plan to invest millions of dollars to relieve staffing shortages in the state’s public defense system and the office of Attorney General Keith Ellison. Democratic attorney general Ellison spent four years attempting in vain to convince a divided Legislature to provide him extra resources to engage more prosecutors, and in 2021, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted guilty of killing George Floyd. Ellison wants this money badly, and with the Democrats’ recent victory…
It appears that Pfizer has not dismissed Jordon Trishton Walker, the employee under investigation for allegedly giving secret information about the business to an undercover Project Veritas journalist, despite a leaked email warning colleagues to be aware of “anti-science activists.” Walker, head of mRNA research and development at pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, claims that the company’s use of “guided evolution” to alter coronaviruses to make more potent versions of vaccines is influencing women’s menstrual cycles. At the time of this writing, Walker’s position at Pfizer was still open. A member of our staff was “baited” into a conversation in a social…
People watching the 65th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night called Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ performance “demonic” due to the satanic undertones. The 2023 Grammy winner for best pop duo/group performance, the duo performed in front of a fire background and crimson lights. The Hollywood Reporter said that Smith was surrounded by dancers who were using “props that had references to BDSM themes,” such as a horned helmet. Iconic Twitter user Ian Miles Cheong pointed out that the song “praises Balenciaga” by posting a screenshot of its lyrics. After the performance, Petras, who is a biological male, stated, “I…

In an interview with Fox News Digital, famous immigration expert Hans von Spakovsky said that Mayorkas had likely been breaking federal immigration law. According to an exclusive report on Fox News Digital, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas should be impeached for lying. At the same time that Republican lawmakers in Washington, DC were crafting articles of impeachment and probing the mayor’s handling of the country’s borders, the Heritage Foundation, a renowned conservative think tank, produced a critical appraisal of Mayorkas’ stint in office. In their recent analysis, Lora Ries, Steven Bradbury, and Hans von Spakovsky express concern that similar legislation…
Five years ago, UPenn President Amy Gutmann made the audacious assertion that Joe Biden’s “unmatched personal relationships” will help “advance the international order” with the opening of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. Questions were raised about the role of foreign contributors, notably from China, and the revolving door of university workers who found their way into then-President Biden’s cabinet when secret papers were discovered at the Washington, D.C. think tank. In a recent letter to UPenn’s president M. Elizabeth Magill, James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, expressed concern that unknown individuals may have…
In his State of the Union speech on Tuesday, President Biden is expected to highlight the recent employment statistics. According to White House Economic Adviser Jared Bernstein’s interview on “Fox News Sunday,” the United States is not in a recession as of the January jobs report. Bernstein said that “my thesis is that 3.4% unemployment is hardly recessionary.” Recessionary conditions do not exist when the economy adds half a million jobs in January and the GDP grows by 2.9% by year’s end. President Biden is expected to underscore this strategy in his State of the Union speech on Tuesday, as…
Marco Rubio, a Republican senator from Florida, called the President’s choice not to address the country from the Chinese balloon “the beginning of dereliction of duty” on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Tell the cameraman to show the anchor how Jake Tapper claimed that “your colleague and friend, Republican Tim Scott of South Carolina” had said that President Biden had “dereliction of duty” by allowing the Chinese surveillance balloon to fly over the United States. That’s a serious allegation to make. What’s your stance? Could that possibly be the optimal solution? In Rubio’s words, the problematic conduct “begins with this,”…
New York Democrat Rep. Gregory Meeks called the deployment of a Chinese surveillance balloon in American skies a “violation of our sovereignty.” The ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee said Friday that while the Chinese surveillance balloon’s presence in U.S. airspace violated American sovereignty, the safety of American civilians was not immediately threatened. Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press NOW” that it is premature to conclude that China intentionally sent a surveillance balloon to the United States until the committee receives classified briefings…
The Pentagon said on Friday night that they had seen a second Chinese spy balloon above Latin America. Reports indicate that a balloon has been observed in the skies above Latin America. Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Pat Ryder stated, “At this point, we believe it is another Chinese surveillance balloon.” Following Thursday’s sighting of a Chinese surveillance balloon above North America, this one has also been tracked down. This past Thursday, Ryder made the following statement: NORAD and the rest of the US government are still keeping a close eye on it. At its current altitude, the balloon does not…
It has been increasingly obvious in recent years that American legislation regarding chemical and surgical sex change treatments for adolescents is far more permissive than any regulation in Europe. Nonprofit healthcare watchdog Do No Harm reported that out of 11 European countries, the United States has the weakest child protection procedures in place for medical transition services. In this analysis of policy stances, the United States emerged as the country with the most progressive attitudes on the medical and legal reassignment of a child’s gender. Transgender adolescents in the United States are more likely than their European counterparts to have…
On Thursday’s episode of “Anderson Cooper 360,” New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the House Republicans to vote to remove Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee for her statements about Israel’s “racial targeting.” Representative Ilhan Omar said that today’s vote was motivated by retribution, as reported by guest host John Berman. To what extent do you agree with their assessment? To which Ocasio-Cortez said, “Absolutely, I think this was about retribution. This whole thing was about some juvenile political maneuvering. But I also believe it’s essential to note that it wasn’t just Republicans attempting to appease a…
When President Joe Biden gives his State of the Union speech next week, Republican Governor of Arkansas Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) will provide the Republican response. On Thursday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced the appointment, to widespread praise from his party. A rising star in the opposition party is often tasked with delivering the party’s answer to the State of the Union to present an alternative policy agenda to the country. On Tuesday night, Biden will face a prominent member of former President Trump’s White House in this year’s annual clash. Sanders tweeted, “I’m pleased to have the chance…
