Pfizer developing booster shot to combat COVID-19 Delta variant
Pfizer and BioNTech said Thursday they are developing a COVID-19 booster shot to target the highly transmissible Delta variant.
In an email to Global News, the companies confirmed that they have seen “encouraging data in the ongoing booster trial” of the vaccine that suggests a third shot of the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has the capacity to offer the “highest levels” of protection against known COVID-19 variants, including Delta.
Virus antibodies are no match for Delta variant, study shows
‘I didn’t eat for days’: hunger stalks Venezuelan refugees
A seemingly endless lake of cardboard and tin shacks surrounds the perimeter of a former airport runway in Colombia’s desert-like city of Maicao. Known locally as La Pista, the area is home to more than 2,000 families, and is one of 44 informal settlements to have emerged around the city in the past two years.
The old airport has become a landing strip for desperate migrants and bi-national indigenous Wayuu people fleeing the economic and political crisis in Venezuela, where the basic essentials of life are hard to come by.
Russia and China’s conquest of the United Nations
After the 20th century’s first great war, France, Britain, Italy, Japan, and other major powers founded the League of Nations. Its primary mission: To keep the peace. It failed, of course, and the result was World War II. After the Second World War, the major powers created a new and, what they hoped, was an improved model: the United Nations.
Keeping the peace was, again, the principal mission, but the U.N.’s contribution to preventing the Cold War from heating up was marginal at best. And wars between lesser powers continued.
What’s happening in San Francisco goes far beyond ‘shoplifting’
We’re hearing a lot about the overwhelming number of murders and attempted murders in Chicago and New York. San Francisco has gone in a different direction. It seems to have become the “shoplifting” capital of America. This honor goes along with its long having been the capital of America for car break-ins. It’s so bad that I know suburbanites who refuse to drive in the city.
New Anti-Terrorism Strategy ‘Narrowly Tailored’ to Target the Right
The NSC ignores Islamic terrorism and joins the Obama-Biden jihad against ordinary Americans.
“This National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism lays out a comprehensive approach to addressing the threat while safeguarding bedrock American civil rights and civil liberties – values that make us who we are as a nation,” explains an introduction attributed to Joe Biden in the document, released last month by the National Security Council. This strategy, readers learn “is narrowly tailored to focus specifically on addressing violence and the factors that lead to violence.” As it happens, this “narrowly tailored” approach is nothing new.
April Powers Condemned Jew-Hate. Then She Lost Her Job.
The inclusion officer’s identity as a black Jew should have made her unassailable. Instead, it was used to discredit her.
On first viewing, it looked like a Tik-Tok riff on The Purge: a caravan of cars rolls down La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles. The passengers — young men in keffiyehs, some draped to mask their faces — stand and shout through sunroofs and windows. The cars honk incessantly. In the back of a slow-moving Jeep, one man waves a billboard-sized Palestinian flag while another shouts through a megaphone: “Israel kills women and children every day!” His companions jeer: “Yeah! Fuck you!”
Why won’t The Lancet admit it was wrong?
The journal is doubling down on its rejection of the lab leak hypothesis
Someone needs to tell The Lancet the most basic tenet of crisis management: when in a hole, stop digging. Instead, this world-renowned medical journal seems determined to keep shredding its reputation, in tandem with a group of experts ignorant to the damage they have caused the scientific community as they have stifled debate regarding the pandemic’s origins.
Cannes: Spike Lee Pushes Lie that Black People Are ‘Being Hunted Down Like Animals‘ by Police
Speaking about his 1989 film Do the Right Thing, director Spike Lee told an audience at Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, Tuesday that black Americans are still “being hunted like animals” by police.
Majority believes Biden officials, not the president, are secretly running the country: Poll
Most people in the United States believe that Biden administration officials, and not President Joe Biden, are directing the country’s agenda and policy, according to a national poll.
Fifty-seven percent of respondents to a Convention of States Action and Trafalgar Group poll said the president is not fully executing the duties of his office. Thirty-six percent said they were confident that he was directing all policy and agenda matters.
“I Have A Message For You”: NSA Leaks Tucker Carlson Emails To Journalists, Fox Host Claims In Update
Last week, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said in a bombshell broadcast that an NSA whistleblower had approached him with evidence that the National Security Agency has been spying on his communications, with the intent to leak his emails to the press and ‘take this show off the air.’
Today, Carlson told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo that the emails have in fact been leaked to journalists – at least one of whom has contacted him for what we presume is an upcoming article on their contents.

I made mistakes. But my departure wasn’t the solution to the CBC’s problem with racism
“… The CBC did not offer me any public support. And I did not defend myself because I just wanted to return to work. In the midst of last year’s racial reckoning, I also felt it would have been wrong for me to play the victim card.
But my silence backfired as players on all sides used me as a cudgel to advance political interests. While some journalists offered public support, my most vocal defenders were free-speech warriors who wanted to make me a cautionary tale about the dangers of cancel culture. That distinction horrified me, because I’ve fought to cancel injustice my whole life. I resented being made a poster child of a movement I wasn’t part of.”

FUREY: Ontario’s never-ending restrictions have become a joke compared to other provinces
I don’t want to wear a mask indoors anymore. That’s what I’m feeling this second week of July, living in Toronto.
Now depending on where you are in Canada, you’re going to have wildly different responses to what I’ve just articulated.
