The “Obama variant” of COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on Martha’s Vineyard’s only hospital and threatening to overrun its capacity.
Nearly two weeks after former president Barack Obama, 60, threw himself a “super spreader” birthday party at his $17.5 million island estate, the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital is reporting its highest number of COVID-19 patients since the pandemic began.
All five of Canada’s big banks will soon make vaccines mandatory for all staff who wish to return to the office, and those who don’t comply will have to agree to regular testing.
“CIA officers were bribing aging warlords with Viagra. The Americans knew all about the young boys the tribal leaders kept in their camps; because the sex drug helped Afghan elders rape more boys more often, they were beholden to” the agency.
As reported on Wednesday, Trudeau shrugged off a question about rising inflation rates by giving a nonsensical answer that avoided answering the question directly.

If an adherence to democracy existed within media, developing Western Canadian political organization would be promoted willingly. It would not be like “pulling teeth” to get a plug from the Globe and Mail or National Post.
They do not–and for good reason. In fact, there are 1.2 Billion reasons–the number of dollars that PM Trudeau funnels to establishment media each year.
On Wednesday, Facebook Canada picked CBC as a 2021 election fact-checker tasked with monitoring other media outlets for inaccurate claims.
Blacklock’s Reporter writes that CBC’s french-language division Radio Canada will be in charge of the initiative.
The fact-checks will link to CBC articles allegedly “disproving” the false claims.
“When a fact checker rates a piece of content as false we significantly reduce its distribution so that fewer people can see it,” wrote Facebook on its 2021 Canadian election page.
The Prime Minister also suggested that people who refuse the experimental medical products are endangering Canadians, even Canadian children.
The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the January 6 Capitol riot has been exonerated following an internal investigation, according to reports.
Babbitt, 35, was the only person killed on January 6 when the officer – who hasn’t been named – opened fire at a mob of Trump supporters as they stormed through the Rotunda.
The commander of the Capitol Police’s Office of Personal Responsibility says ‘no further action will be taken in this matter,’ according to a memo obtained by NBC News.
The debate surrounding election integrity continues to rage throughout the country. It will undoubtedly be a major point of contention when the 2022 midterm elections roll around, too.
There’s also plenty of controversy concerning the reliability of voting machines, and the election officials who run them. Security is a serious concern for both campaigners and voters.
That’s why one county in Colorado will be conducting a criminal investigation into a security breach. And the FBI is involved now as well.
For more than a year and a half, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) unlawfully stalled on my request for Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails. (The law requires the records to be produced within about 30 days.)
Federal agencies frequently violate Freedom of Information (FOI) law with impunity.
Initially, NIH provided emails to only selected media entities that requested them because the entities filed lawsuits.
When the records were produced to anybody, NIH was required to provide the full records to all. In fact, any argument they may have tried to make for stalling became instantly moot.
However, NIH continued to withhold the records.
When politicians and journalists talk about Afghanistan, most of them do not know what it really is. That is to say, they are distracted by the fact that it has had a flag, a territory, and a name, and until recently, its official representatives participated in a variety of international forums, such as the United Nations.
The likelihood that Hezbollah will start a major war against Israel has increased significantly.
The likelihood that Hezbollah will start a major war against Israel increased significantly in the wake of its Aug. 6 missile attack.
Hezbollah attacked Israel with 20 missiles because the outcome of Hamas’s offensive against the Jewish state in May convinced Iran’s foreign legion in Lebanon that it would only gain from aggression.
Three months ago, Hamas opened an unprovoked missile assault against Israel and incited Israeli Muslims to launch pogroms against Israeli Jews in cities across the country.
Extinction Rebellion (XR) protests have cost the taxpayer £50 million in policing since 2019, the Metropolitan Police have revealed, as the group warns of a fresh wave of action.
The environmental group has announced it will begin two weeks of protests across London this weekend, which is likely to cause significant disruption in the capital, including during the Bank Holiday weekend.
XR organisers have said that they will target the City of London in order to highlight finance’s role in the climate change crisis.
The rapid collapse of Afghanistan’s armed forces may have surprised President Biden but dozens of reports from a federal watchdog revealed how the U.S. bungled efforts to shore up the country.
From millions spent on military planes left rotting at Kabul’s international airport to the billions of dollars wasted trying and failing to eradicate the country’s opium crops, the dispatches from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction Illustrated the fraud and abuse that derailed a $145 billion effort.
‘If the goal was to rebuild and leave behind a country that could sustain itself and pose little threat to U.S. national security interests, the overall picture in Afghanistan is bleak,’ John Sopko concluded in his most report published this week.
In a bizarre move, labelled “woke” by some, London’s historic Globe Theatre has decided to warn attendees about the potentially “upsetting” themes in Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and provide viewers with the Samaritans number.
Audience members for a new adaptation of William Shakespeare’s tragic love story, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, at London’s Globe Theatre, are being given the number of a mental health helpline and warned about the potentially disturbing scenes that await them, The Sun reported on Thursday.
“… The Afghan army didn’t “surrender”.
Its Pashtun members surrendered to the Taliban who are fellow Pashtuns. Hazaras fled to Iran and took our equipment with them for the benefit of Hezbollah, the Houthis, and any other Shiite terrorists. The Uzbeks fled to Uzbekistan.
There’s no Afghanistan. It’s a collection of tribes whose members are loyal to their own.”
In 2015, Sweden, a nation of over 10 million, saw a record 163,000 asylum seekers, mostly from the Middle East and Northern Africa, which has since posed serious integration issues and economic problems.
While Afghanistan is witnessing an acute humanitarian crisis in the wake of the return to power of the Taliban*, which has prompted hundreds of thousands of people to attempt to flee, Sweden doesn’t believe in a new refugee wave to Europe.
Mikael Ribbenvik, Director General of the Swedish Migration Agency, argued in an interview with national broadcaster SVT that the situation in Afghanistan looks bleak and condemned the Taliban’s attempt at a “charm offensive” in which they promised amnesty and pledged to respect women’s rights.
The architects of the nation-building policies from Afghanistan to Iraq are failures and should be treated with the same disdain reserved for flat earthers or bloodletters.
Days after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, which was initially sold as a necessary pre-emptive effort to secure deadly weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein planned to use against the American people, National Review ran an op-ed by former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum attacking everyone on the right who opposed the war as “unpatriotic conservatives.”
There has been no end of commentary dealing with Donald Trump’s turbulent presidency and the scandal of his electoral loss. There’s no doubt that from the day of the “grand escalator ride” (and even before) to the day of his departure from the White House, a social, media, and political upheaval was in progress, and would not cease even when he once again became a private citizen. Reasons pro and con for the debacle have proliferated since Hurricane Trump made landfall in America, but the issues are basically very simple and can be stated economically.
