In a recent installment of the 'Club Random' podcast, talk show host Bill Maher and 'Family Guy' mastermind Seth MacFarlane engaged in a contentious debate regarding the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine, as reported by RadarOnline.com. Maher expressed his apprehensions about the US medical establishment's neglect of the concept of natural immunity, a sentiment challenged by MacFarlane during their debate. Debate over natural immunity and vaccination requirements Maher criticized the US's inadequate consideration of natural immunity in determining vaccination requirements, particularly questioning the necessity of vaccinating individuals who have previously contracted the disease, contrasting this approach with Europe's practices, and...

On what political propositions are Americans apparently agreed? There are two. The first is that the President currently in the White House should be replaced. Not by being tossed out on last February's impeachment rap, but replaced when his term finally ends. The second proposition is that no presidential candidate currently striving to succeed the incumbent is an exhilarating alternative. What's the problem? If the incumbent is so bad, shouldn't we be enthusiastic about at least one of the contenders? After all, there are two Democrats out there to choose from, and six Republicans. So whom are the American people...

Rolling Stone led leftist celebrations of Henry Kissinger's death with a brutal headline that labeled him a 'war criminal' and declared 'good riddance' to the 100-year-old statesman. The outlet published a skewering obituary by Spencer Ackerman last night in which they said Kissinger's legacy should only be his 'confirmed kills'. 'Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies,' read the headline. Ackerman compared Kissinger to domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber who killed 168 people, and said: 'The infamy of Nixon's foreign-policy architect sits, eternally, beside that of history's worst mass murderers.' Leftists applauded Rolling...

Why are individuals who claim to be peaceful Muslims not distancing themselves from Imam Husham Al-Husainy and his anti-American and dangerous rhetoric, but rather endorsing and promoting it? In a remarkable display of power, nearly 5,000 Shia Muslims gathered in Dearborn, Michigan, to commemorate the 40th day of Imam Husayn (A.S) in a significant religious observance known as Chehlum or Arbaeen. This event, which takes place 40 days after Ashura, commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, during the Battle of Karbala. Dearborn, often referred to as the Arab capital of North America, has...

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) in Washington told former President Donald Trump on Thursday that if he tries to return to the White House or runs for any other political office in 2024, the D.C.-based watchdog will, using the 14th Amendment's anti-insurrectionist clause, attempt to disqualify him for fomenting last year's deadly right-wing riot at the U.S. Capitol. "By summoning a violent mob to disrupt the transition of presidential power... you made yourself ineligible to hold public office again." “Should you seek or secure any future elected or appointed government office including the presidency of the United States," CREW...

These were the words of the democrat genius Debbie Dingell (D-MI). Those words were not uttered in a void. Many democrats were anxious to virtue signal subsequently to the Paul Pelosi fracas. Honesty was not to be the guiding light. "Meathead" Rob Reiner tried to pin the attack on Donald Trump: “The violent assault on Paul Pelosi and the attempt to murder Speaker Pelosi is directly related to that Lie,” the Oscar-nominated director and actor wrote. As a result, Reiner claimed, “Donald Trump is 100% responsible for this and Jan.6” and “must be indicted and never be allowed to hold...

David DePape, 42, also published hundreds of blog posts in recent months sharing memes in support of fringe commentators and far-right personalities. Many of the posts were filled with screeds against Jews, Black people, Democrats, the media and transgender people.

"The View" formally announced on Thursday that Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as White House communications director during the Trump administration, and Ana Navarro will be new co-hosts of the show. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said they wanted to honor former host Barbara Walters' vision for the show by representing different voices. Farah Griffin will appear daily, while Navarro will continue to host the show but not every day. ABC played a montage of Farah Griffin and Navarro's notable appearances; both are Republicans but are sharp Donald Trump critics.

t is widely seen that the U.S. House Select Committee about January 6 is falling flat. See, e.g., Breitbart's article, "January 6 Committee's Third Hearing So Boring NBC Cut to Golf Instead." (For golf to be more interesting, it's bad.) What's more amazing is that no clue has penetrated the fog of Democrats, establishment Republicans, the news media, or far-left activists about why. Our political class is so out of touch that it could not see this collective yawn coming. And no, this is not about interviewing that one magic witness. It is the fundamental concept of their entire effort...

Researchers studying Dublin Bay have said recent sea level rise there has happened at “approximately double the rate of global sea level rise”. The study examined sea level trends over eight decades and confirmed elevated rates in recent years. Researchers at the Hamilton Institute and ICARUS Climate Research Center at Maynooth University found that the Dublin sea level rose by an estimated 1.1 mm per year between 1953 and 2016. Researchers said the overall sea level rise is “in line with expected trends”, but large variability across many decades has led to higher rates in recent years. The research published...

Defiant members of the media and other liberals have responded to the recent lifting of the travel mask mandate by taking selfies of themselves wearing masks on their recent travels and insisting to social media users that they feel safer from COVID-19 this way. After U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle voided the Biden administration’s travel mask mandate on Monday, there was some fear online from liberal media figures who didn’t feel safe enough going bare-faced on an airplane or Uber ride. MSNBC host Tiffany Cross posted a photo of herself on a flight wearing her black mask. Her...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) was more dangerous than Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) while discussing Republican senators who voted against confirming Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Lindsey Graham, of course, is already hinting there will be consequences if the GOP takes over after the midterms. I do want to point out that Lindsey Graham voted for Ketanji Jackson for the U.S. Court of Appeals less than a year ago. If you’re voting to put people on the court, why is this one so...

NEW YORK (AP) — “Senator,” she said, letting out an audible sigh. In that singular moment, Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson spoke for countless Black women who have had to gather all the patience, strength and grace within to answer insinuating questions about their credentials, qualifications and character. It was Day One of questioning at the Senate Judiciary Committee as the Harvard-educated Jackson, the first Black woman to be nominated for the nation’s highest court, was making history. The federal judge had to endure hours of public scrutiny from skeptics, namely the Republican senators who are erecting a wall...

VIDEOI watched the sparsely attended "Moral Monday" rally in Washington, D.C. so you won't have to. And, believe me, you all owe me big time because watching all those leftwing demagogues felt like my lifeforce was being drained away just hearing them speak. As you can see they are all in on the Build Back Broke bill and are angry at Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema for maybe denying them their inflation energizer. Also they are dead set against all voter integrity bills including voter ID laws. Why would anybody be against that except for the desire to Cheat the...

"There is no way the United States can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions without looking at how Americans drive," Schumer says. ========================================================================= Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says every vehicle on the road should be fully electric by 2040. "There is no way the United States can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions without looking at how Americans drive," Schumer said on Tuesday. "So I have put forward an ambitious, comprehensive proposal to accelerate our country's transition to zero-emission vehicles. We've called it Clean Cars for America. "The goal of that plan is that by 2040, all vehicles should be...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Sunday’s broadcast of ABC’s “This Week,” that Democratic lawmakers have “arrows in our quiver,” when asked if impeachment was a possibility to stop a lame-duck Supreme Court nomination should President Donald Trump lose the White House in November and the vacancy following the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has not been filled.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!” a crowd of more than 200 protesters chanted at President Donald Trump supporters as they entered Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids Thursday afternoon to hear the president speak. “I came here to stand up for what I believe in,” said Grand Rapids resident Cam Deen, “and that’s anti-racism, anti-bigotry and anti-sexism. I feel Trump embodies the opposite of those things.” The protesters on Fulton Street in front of the arena were contained within a city block by salt trucks on either end and were separated from Trump supporters...

Hey, remember when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said that fighting global warming was our generation’s World War II? It was an idiotic remark, but then she pushed policy to back up her words. Alas, the Green New Deal was born.  An economic disaster, which seeks to transition the nation off of fossil fuels in a decade, kill farting cows, upgrade all buildings to energy efficient standards, whatever those may be, and eliminate the combustible engine. It’s the epitome of intrusive government and it comes with a $90 trillion price tag. This is on top of the far left’s jobs guarantee,...

... Four black coaches were fired Sunday or Monday, including the Jets’ Todd Bowles, who was let go shortly after his team’s final loss Sunday. The Jets had a 14-34 record in the last three seasons under Bowles. Marvin Lewis, who had been at the helm of the Cincinnati Bengals since 2003, was fired Monday. Though he had resurrected the moribund Bengals and took them to the playoffs multiple times, he never won a playoff game and this season was Cincinnati’s third consecutive one with a losing record. Also fired Monday was Denver Broncos Coach Vance Joseph, who had presided...

Whether you believe the reported corruption of Eve in the Garden, in Genesis, was a literal account of an actual event, or an allegorical demonstration of human frailty; it captures the essence of a technique by which demagogues (the grievance mongers & "Community Organizers," in every age) market their deceptive wares to create animosity between definable groups. Persuading those targeted to focus on assumed "grievances," whether real or imagined, they divert attention from both constructive pursuits & quiet enjoyment of life's Blessings.
