By Cassandra Fairbanks The World Health Organization says that people should not change their plans to attend Pride celebrations over monkeypox outbreaks. The leading theory for the reason for rapid spread of the virus is sex between men at two raves in Europe. “It’s important that people who want to go out and celebrate gay pride, LGBTQ+ pride, to continue to go and plan to do so,” Andy Seale, a strategies adviser in the WHO Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections Programmes, said during a press briefing on Monday, according to  The Hill . “There is no specific transmission route that we need to be worried about,” Seale said. “It really is connected to the fact there have been a couple of events that have perhaps amplified the current outbreak.” Last week, WHO  issued  “public health advice for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men.” “It is important to note that the risk of monkeypox is not limited to me...

By Molly Slag Precisely because I was born in a Norman Rockwell painting and have already lived past my allotted span, it is exceedingly embarrassing and bitter to realize that, on my watch, the Left has taken possession of the Democrat party and, through that party, has seized control of the executive branch of the federal government, which today constitutes the greatest existential enemy to the American Republic. Nevertheless, there is a path back and Justice Alito has provided the way. We live in a bewildering time, not because events are unclear or cause and effect uncertain, but because the status quo is so jarring that we can hardly bring ourselves to face it: The executive branch of the United States government is waging war on the American nation. And I mean that quite literally. The executive branch is seeking to destroy the nation so the national elite can slip a slave collar around the neck of the American survivors, thus clearing the way for the internat...

By Joseph Shepherd With each passing day, the news connected to the COVID shots grows worse.  That the injections don’t prevent COVID -- or even its spread -- has been known for months, and post-injection problems encompass almost everything  that can go wrong with a body .  “Not a single organ, not a  single bodily function , is unharmed” after one of these shots, said Arne Burkhardt, a professor of forensics at Reutlingen’s Pathological Institute. So little has been written about why “side effects” such as myocarditis have popped up that one can’t help but wonder: Does anybody understand how these shots work?  In the space below, let’s pick three of the harshest complications and explore how COVID shots could be driving the mechanics of each. 1 - Myocarditis The pale-yellow fluid of the Pfizer or Moderna vial contains  billions of microscopic fat globs  called lipid nanoparticles.  Each is an incredibly tiny envelope, used to c...

By AWR HAWKINS Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a freeze on handgun sales and purchases Monday, suggesting high-profile shootings in the U.S. were part of the justification for the ban. Reuters  reports  that Trudeau said, “We need only look south of the border to know that if we do not take action firmly and rapidly it gets worse and worse and gets more difficult to counter.” The ban not only freezes handgun sales and purchases but also impacts magazine capacity and prohibits some toy guns. CNN  quoted  Trudeau saying, “What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada.” He added, “In other words, we’re capping the market.” Trudeau opined, “Gun violence is a complex problem, but at the end of the day the math is really quite simple: The fewer the guns in our communities, the safer everyone will be.” Breitbart News  reported  that Chicago had a handgun ban ...

Good afternoon y'all, This article was emailed to me by our brother, Shiloh. Thanks for sharing with us! Tex By Sean Taylor As many as 50 nurses at the Birmingham Veterans' Affairs (VA) Hospital say their request for religious or medical exemptions to COVID-19 vaccines has gone unrecognized, and as a result, they are being threatened with disciplinary action, reassignment or even termination. According to documents obtained by 1819 News and interviews with medical personnel, employees’ request for exemption has been denied, and they say they have been allotted two weeks to update their vaccines status or face penalties ranging from “admonishment up to removal.” “I don’t understand how they’re going to keep the hospital open,” said one VA doctor, who asked not to be identified. “They’re already short 37% of their nursing positions because it’s so hard to fill those spots. Are you going to get rid of 44 nurses? We’re going to be down a ton of capacity.” Or, as...

By Alex Parker The Church of Scotland has made a major change. As reported by Christianity Today , on Monday, the Church’s General Assembly approved a measure related to same-sex couples and marriage. Courtesy of a 274-136 vote, parish ministers and deacons may now apply for authorization to preside over male-male and female-female weddings. If you’re unfamiliar with the UK Presbyterian organization, its official website offers the following: The Church of Scotland seeks to inspire the people of Scotland and beyond with the Good News of Jesus Christ through enthusiastic worshipping, witnessing, nurturing and serving communities. The Church of Scotland is one of the largest organizations in the country. We have around 300,000 members, with more regularly involved in local congregations and our work. We have around 800 ministers serving in parishes and chaplaincies, supported by both centrally and locally employed staff. Most of our parishes are in Scotland, but we also have...

By Victor Davis Hanson It was supposed to be a clear-cut, unambiguous invasion. Vladimir Putin’s much larger, richer, and more bellicose Russia staged a shock-and-awe attack on a much smaller, poorer Ukraine. He intended to decapitate the government in Kyiv. Then he would annex the eastern half of the country, and quickly consolidate his easy wins in preparation to ratchet up pressure to force western Ukraine into the Russian Federation. The rest is history. The Russian military proved ill-equipped and ill-supplied. It was poorly led, with a high percentage of low-morale, conscript troops. Russia had no viable strategic plan to capture, much less hold, the Ukrainian capital. Ukraine was Russia’s version of our Kabul—but tens of thousands of deaths added to the equation. Russian strategists naïvely believed NATO would become paralyzed in mutual recriminations and fear and follow the usual German prompt of appeasement. In fact, NATO united precisely because of the dire worries ov...
