British officials authorized a COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use on Wednesday, green-lighting the world’s first shot against the virus that’s backed by rigorous science and taking a major step toward eventually ending the pandemic.
The go-ahead for the vaccine developed by American drugmaker Pfizer and Germany’s BioNTech comes as the virus surges again in the United States and Europe, putting pressure on hospitals and morgues in some places and forcing new rounds of restrictions that have devastated economies.
In the United States, the threat to religious liberty has been under siege for some time. Last week’s Thanksgiving gift to believers from the Supreme Court may be only a temporary reprieve from government’s assault on faith and conscience. The narrow 5-4 ruling serves as a warning the threat is not over.
Race and ethnicity may be deciding factors in essential workers getting vaccine prioritization
“If you look at the burden of disease and death in the U.S., it is disproportionately impacting communities of color,” Grace Lee, a member of ACIP and professor of pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine, told the Washington Examiner. “It is heartbreaking to realize how much of the social and racial inequities that exist impact the health of these communities.”
Pope Francis Calls for ‘New Social Justice’ to Challenge Utopia
Addressing “social justice judges” from the African and American continents via streaming, the pope congratulated them for their commitment to “social rights,” asserting that the very fact that men and women “come together to think about their work and to build the new social justice is, without a doubt, excellent news.”
Blagojevich Advises on Contesting the Stolen Election: “I Know How They Operate”
Blagojevich believes the recent election was crooked and admitted on TV earlier this month that vote fraud is a “time-honored” Democrat tradition. Some dismiss this citing his criminal past, but ignored is that there’s no shortage of non-felon Democrats who’ve made the same admission.
“There’s better things we can do with our money” than have police SWARM Adamson BBQ
This past week, Adamson Barbecue became a role model for anti-lockdown freedom fighters everywhere.
After repeated refusals to close the business down, authorities sealed the door, forcing owner Adam Skelly to make his way inside the restaurant and bust it open.
Police didn’t take kindly to the civil disobedience, and barged their way in, knocking several, including Rebel reporter David Menzies, to the ground in their rush to arrest Skelly and make an example out of him.
Canada’s deficit to be more than $381 billion
Canada will post a deficit of more than $381 billion this fiscal year, as total debt is expected to be near $1.2 trillion.
And Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has announced another up to $100 billion in stimulus spending to help the country recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are all very worried” Canada PM Justin Trudeau, his ministers express ‘concern’ over protesting Punjab farmers in Delhi
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ministers have expressed his concerns over ongoing farmers’ protests in India. During the virtual Gurpurab 2020 celebration, PM Trudeau, at the beginning of his address, talked about the protests in India.
Paul Kengor’s recent article about the presidential election results got me thinking about what it would take to convince a friend of mine — or a Pennsylvania legislator or judge — that there really was something fishy going on in this election. Kengor’s piece focuses on an exchange between Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and Ret. Col. Phil Waldren at last week’s Senate Majority Policy Committee hearings in Pennsylvania, in which Giuliani established that if you add up the total number of votes for Biden and Trump in a series of what Waldren described as Biden “spike anomalies,” you get around 570,000 votes for Biden and only around 3,200 for Trump.
The consequences for Israel — and for the Palestinians themselves.
For Mahmoud Abbas, the apparent election of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States is sheer relief. As a result of his disagreement with President Donald Trump’s “Peace of the Century,” he severed his ties with the Trump administration, and in May, he suspended the security coordination with Israel. Abbas also, among other things, refused to accept tax money Israel collected from Palestinians working in Israel that is transferred to the Palestinian Authority (PA). This has just about emptied the PA’s coffers, and brought about the near collapse of the Palestinian economy.
Following Joe Biden’s victory, the fate of today’s millennial revolutionaries is all but sealed
Emperor penguins, the largest and most well-known penguin species, have peculiar chick-rearing habits. When a baby penguin hatches, one parent must guard their offspring while the other journeys down to sea to feed and catch food. If the hunter is delayed for any reason, the stay-at-home parent is left with a painful choice: stay with your chicks and starve or abandon them in search of food.
Orphaned chicks never survive. They go from one penguin to the next, begging for food and shelter, but are cast away. Eventually, they weaken and die from starvation or exposure to the harsh cold.
It’s always fun when the brave journalists of the Washington Post put on their pith helmets and venture forth to do some anthropological reporting from the hinterlands. You never know what kind of hair-raising stories they’ll file about sky god-worshippers in podunk hamlets over an hour’s drive from decent artisanal cheese.
For example, education reporter Hannah Natanson Nov. 29 article describes the horrors of teaching about the presidential election in “West Virginia’s deep-red McDowell County, where some 80 percent of the votes went to Trump in the November election.” They’re also, she is careful to point out, 90 percent white.
How likely are we to heal our country’s wounds if we divide our fellow citizens into “white people” who are stained, and “people of color” who are innocent and pure? This ghastly enterprise is being undertaken by the left in America today.
White employees go to work and are compelled to sit through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion humiliation sessions, which inform them that they are frauds whose success has been purchased by the suffering of non-whites. White government employees, thinking that their task is to work for the good of the entire body politic, are forced to attend Critical Race Theory workshops where they learn there is no body politic at all, only impure white people who collectively conspire to violate innocent people of color everywhere, using the power of the state to do so…
The Trudeau Liberals’ fall economic statement stumbles through 200-plus pages of verbal political unreadable claptrap about building back better COVID-19 resilient green gender prudent fiscal stimulus affordable jumpstarted racial equality childcare climate solutions and employee stock option decisive dynamic Indigenous inclusive net-zero cross-border digital tax cut increases. At the end of this onslaught, which is all too typical of annual federal budgetary documents, Canadians are left with two big numbers.
Michigan’s Senate Oversight Committee heard testimonies on Tuesday from witnesses concerned that there were counting irregularities and potential election violations in Detroit.
While Michigan already certified its election results showing Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden as the winner of the state, voting irregularities in absentee ballot counting at the TCF Center in Detroit were a cause for concern for many.
After a week of being battered over the issue of Canadians getting COVID-19 vaccines later than other countries, the Trudeau Liberals attempted some defence on the issue. I’m not sure it worked.
The problem began last Tuesday when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that COVID vaccines are being produced in other countries and that Canadians would not get the first doses because, “Canada no longer has any domestic production capacity for vaccines.” That claim about Canadian vaccine production is false but let’s set that aside for now.
How likely are we to heal our country’s wounds if we divide our fellow citizens into “white people” who are stained, and “people of color” who are innocent and pure? This ghastly enterprise is being undertaken by the left in America today.
