Can you really believe them? According to Daniel Teng of The Epoch Times, the government of New South Wales, Australia, is promising to begin returning “freedoms” to vaccinated people —and only vaccinated people — when they number 70% of the population.  At 80%, “more freedoms would be available.” But what happens when the nation hits 70%…

… which is to say they believe that unborn babies are human beings with a right to life until such time as their opinion on the matter can make a difference.  Note how the RI Congressman explains himself: “Although I remain personally opposed to abortion, as a matter of public policy, my position has evolved,”…

Who is the real audience for Biden’s vax-mandate speech?

By Marc Comtois | September 10, 2021 |

According to John Podhoretz, Biden’s vax-mandate “speech was a Rube Goldberg message aimed at neurotic vaccinated people”.  Pohhoretz continues: He told the American people without qualification that fully vaccinated people are at incredibly low risk: “Only 1 out of every 160,000 fully vaccinated Americans was hospitalized for COVID per day.” Then he promised to shield…

Unpaid leave for unvaccinated healthcare workers is slightly better than firing them, I guess.

By Justin Katz | September 7, 2021 |

This blows my mind.  As his former chief of staff, Anthony Silva falls issues a series of retirements, resignations, and property donations in an effort to put an influence-peddling scandal behind himself, Democrat Governor Dan McKee goes and fills his position with somebody who carries the stain of the 38 Studios scandal: On Tuesday, McKee…
