South African Govt. Panel: COVID Quarantines No Longer Needed

(OAN) A South African government panel said the Omicron variant is mild enough that there’s no need for further quarantines and contact tracing.

The Ministerial Advisory Committee of South Africa said the proportion of people who are immune to COVID-19 has risen dramatically, stating there’s no need for more restrictions. The panel additionally said COVID quarantines are no longer feasible from economic and social viewpoints. Continue reading

‘Biden Agenda Is Dead,’ ‘Watching His Presidency Crumble’

(Eric Mack – Newsmax) The stalling of the Build Back Better Act in the Senate is not only a signal President Joe Biden’s agenda “is dead,” according to economist Larry Kudlow, but he added “we are watching his presidency crumble.”

“The really good news is that the bill is dead, at least for now,” Kudlow told Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM-N.Y. “[The Democrats] will pick it up again, probably in February.” Continue reading

Mormon, Glenn Beck, Says Billy Graham Told Him He Was Christian, Removed Mormonism From Cult Status

“If Billy Graham truly loved Glenn Beck, he would not have allowed him to walk away believing that he thought he was a true Christian.”

(Reformation Charlotte) Glenn Beck was recently interviewed on the Michael Malice show where Malice asked Beck about his conversion to Mormonism. Malice asked him if there were any times where “hardcore Christians” ever confronted him about his Mormonism and him being in a cult. Beck then recounted a time where he was with Billy Graham and he was telling Malice about his conversion. Continue reading

Ron DeSantis Announces New Therapy for Floridians That Helps Prevent COVID Infection

Omicron “has shown to be able to infect vaccinated individuals, which poses a greater threat to those who don’t have a strong antibody response to vaccines or can’t get vaccinated.”

(Jennie Fink) Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has added another tool to Florida’s COVID-19 arsenal—a monoclonal antibody therapy that can prevent COVID-19 infection before a person is exposed, which the state has purchased. Continue reading

‘The Old Normal Is Not Going to Return’: Federal Appeals Court Rules Biden Vaccine Mandate Can Continue

“If the rule goes into effect, employees of companies with 100 or more employees will be required to either show proof of vaccination or submit to weekly testing and a workplace mask mandate.”

(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media) A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for private companies with 100 or more employees can continue. The mandate, issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) through an Emergency Temporary Stanard (ETS) is set to go into effect on Jan. 4, 2022. Continue reading

Nancy Pelosi Is the Elephant in the Room of the January 6 Riot

“The select committee is nothing more than Pelosi’s illegal creation. It’s an oppressive, medieval Star Chamber using the threat of prison, media misinformation, and bankruptcy to force individuals to submit to and support Pelosi’s hyper-partisan narrative about what happened on January 6.”

(Mark Tapscott – PJ Media) He left the Oval Office a year ago, but House Democrats remain obsessed with Donald Trump. That’s why they are threatening former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows with jail for defying an illegal subpoena. Continue reading

Does the Holy Spirit speak new words today?

The Spirit illumines the words of God so that we may understand, believe and obey them. The Spirit ministers to our hearts, and affects joy, peace, and love, perseverance. The Spirit unites us to Christ and with each other. The Spirit does not however speak new words or words that contradict Holy Scripture.

(Murray Campbell) The idea that God has new things to say and that the Holy Spirit speaks to people outside of Scripture is a common understanding among some religious circles. The ‘Holy Spirit said to me’ has become a popular belief particularly among pentecostal and progressive Christians…. Continue reading

Retailers who supported defunding police now demand action from Congress amid smash-and-grab crime surge

“Signing onto this letter were the chiefs of Target, Nordstrom, Levi Strauss, Ulta Beauty, Home Depot, and many more. These businesses were revealed to have made large donations to groups supporting defunding the police, or expressing explicit support for the organizations.”

(Hannah Nightingale – Post Millennial) In a letter sent by the Retail Industry Leaders Association last week urging Congress to help businesses amidst an increase in smash-and grab robberies across the country, nearly two dozen CEOs and other business leaders signed onto the letter. Continue reading

Taboo Truths about the Covid Vaccine

“The very illnesses that are most prevalent in this mysterious health emergency — heart attack deaths, cardiac arrest, strokes, blood clots, multiple organ failure — are all the same COVID-19 vaccine side effects listed in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).”

(Wayne Allyn Root – Frontpage Mag) The COVID-19 vaccines appear to be causing a global health disaster. There are so many warnings from all around the world. I’ll list just a few in this column. But the U.S. media remains silent. They’re as quiet as a church mouse. Why? Continue reading

To save our society, more voices like Abigail Shrier, and more words like this

“I don’t know much about Ms. Shrier, the former Columbia and Yale Law grad who clerked for one of Bill Clinton’s federal judges on the D.C. Circuit. But I know that the fascists are scared of her, and after reading her recent speech, I can understand why. She’s a freedom fighter.”

(Peter Heck – Not the Bee) This last summer I had the great opportunity to work with a literary agent and pull together a book proposal. After several months of brainstorming, mapping out the major thesis, diagramming the contents, and writing an abstract as well as chapter summaries, we submitted the proposal to a host of publishers.

None of them bit. Continue reading

The Trend Toward Normalizing Pedophilia Must Be Halted

“What we’ve learned is that unbridled curiosity has mostly remained unchecked in the ivory tower, and some scientists are exploring lines of inquiry about children that should remain unthinkable.”

(Jennifer Bauwens – FRC) Americans are awakening to the call to protect children from being sexualized. Following the national news coverage of local school board meetings in Virginia, many U.S. citizens are shocked to learn that today’s elementary school lessons include material that would make most adults blush…. Continue reading

The True Cost of Biden’s Agenda

“Using their bare majority in the House and their not-really-a-majority in the Senate, Democrats hope to pass a massive spending bill that is actually far more massive than it looks. The estimated $367 addition to the deficit — which is bad enough — would actually be a $3 trillion addition to the deficit.”

(Byron York – Townhall) President Joe Biden and Capitol Hill Democrats are racing to pass their massive social spending bill, known as Build Back Better, before Christmas. Maybe they’ll succeed, and maybe they won’t — a lot depends on whether Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin hops on board…. Continue reading

Adam Schiff Uses Text Messages That Disprove Insurrection to Try to Shore Up Sagging Insurrection Narrative

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Liz Cheney on Monday revealed text messages from former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows’ phone. Despite the fact that they prove that there never was an insurrection, the Democrats and their media sycophants were working hard Tuesday to make the texts out to be the bombshell that will finally, once and for all, destroy Donald Trump. Foremost among them was, not surprisingly, Adam Schiff (D-OrangeManBad), whose only claim to fame as a congressman has been his relentless and evidence-free efforts to drive Trump first from the presidency, and now from public life altogether. Continue reading

Now we know why the establishment has always opposed early treatment

(Daniel Horowitz – The Blaze) The shots don’t work for many people, particularly the elderly. The establishment is blocking every other treatment option available. At this point, with so many people recovering even from late-stage COVID by taking ivermectin, which is infinitely safer than the shots, how could anyone ascribe anything other than very sinister motivations to those declaring war on its use?

The shills for Big Pharma and the “Great Reset” who don’t want to see people survive this virus claim they don’t have enough data on ivermectin, despite dozens of studies and simple reality showing that it works better than anything they have suggested…. Continue reading

Justice Gorsuch Torches SCOTUS for Rejecting Challenge to NY Vax Mandate for Healthcare Workers

( – The New American) The U.S. Supreme Court just left in place New York’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers that allows for no religious exemptions.

On Monday, the nation’s highest court rejected, by a 6-3 vote, a request by 20 anonymous doctors and nurses, nearly all of whom are Catholic, to grant an injunction against the arguably unlawful mandate. Only Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch voted to grant the injunction…. Continue reading

Cracked Icons: The corrupt and mediocre heroes of the Left are imploding

“The Biden candidacy was one of the most cynical in American history. The unhinged far-Left adopted a befuddled Biden as the respectable veneer necessary to see their hard-core, but stealth socialist agenda finally enacted. Key to a virtual presidency would be virtual voting, as 102 million mail-in and early votes were never subject to the previous standards of authentication and statistical rejection rates of the past—rendering Election Day voting mostly a memory.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) With fits and starts, we are slowly returning to reality after four years of mass hysteria. Our media-deified, progressive icons are finally being exposed as the deceivers they always were. Continue reading

Australian man visited a plant nursery last week, now he’s quarantined in an Adelaide medi-hotel

(Rebecca Opie and Imogen Hayne) When Shaun Ferguson was browsing the plants at a local nursery last Tuesday afternoon, he never thought it would land him in two weeks quarantine in a medi-hotel.

That night he received the text message that no one wants to receive.

“At about 11.30 that night I got a text message from SA Health saying that I’d been to a potential exposure site for the Omicron strain,” Mr Ferguson said. Continue reading

Identity Wars: What did Paul mean when he wrote, ‘such were some of you?’

Our culture is telling us that it’s “okay to be gay,” and that virtually every kind of “sexual orientation” should be affirmed. It’s telling us that “gayness” is unalterable, except perhaps when it’s not because of “gender fluidity,” and it’s increasingly hostile to “heteronormativity.” 

(Ron Henzel – Midwest Christian Outreach) Currently, a battle is being waged for the soul of my home denomination. In the theologically conservative Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), the question is being asked: What did Paul mean when he wrote, “such were some of you,” and how should we apply it in the life of the church?” Continue reading

This is Christian triumph

“A Christian takes joy in teaching our children to love God more than anything in this world, and to love the things He loves – things like grace, forgiveness, and mercy.”

(Peter Heck – Not the Bee) Just over a week ago, the life of Richard Houston II, a 21-year veteran of the Mesquite, Texas, police department, was taken by a gun-wielding man in a parking lot. Jamie Jaramillo, mistress by his side, had just been confronted by his wife about his infidelity. Officer Houston took the call to respond to the disturbance and upon arriving attempted to talk with Jaramillo. Continue reading

What I’ve Learned Rescuing My Daughter From Her Transgender Fantasy

“She hated me like an addict hates the person preventing her drug fix. I held my ground, despite the constant verbal abuse.”

(Charlie Jacobs- Daily Signal) My daughter’s story is no longer novel. Stories like it are occurring in your state, your town, and perhaps even on your street. Gender dysphoria—the incongruence between the mind and the body—moves stealthily and quickly to invade girls and boys alike.

But this isn’t a cautionary tale. It’s a warning. Continue reading

Desperate Leftists Watching Power Slip Through Their Hands

“America has had a taste of the type of nation that the left has dreams of turning her into. They’ve said, “nah bro we’re good.” And they are planning on turning out in enormous numbers in 2022 to see to it that these ideas and the candidates who tout them are all put to bed and hopefully never to be heard from again.”

(Kevin McCullough – Townhall) In the past few weeks, on a number of fronts, the WOKE Left in America have watched loss after loss pile up and they are realizing something that should encourage the rest of us. Continue reading
