In the video below, veteran Washington State Patrol Trooper Robert LaMay explains on “Fox & Friends” why he quit his job in October 2021 rather than comply with Gov. Jay Inslee’s vaccine mandate (“my family doesn’t do vaccines”). In a selfie video, clearly sta[...]
How hard is it to get a religious vaccine exemption in the U.S. military?
Recruits and troops in the U.S. armed forces are routinely inoculated against a laundry list of diseases. So, if you sign on the dotted line (nobody is drafted anymore, although the Selective Service law remains on the books for national emergencies), you expect to get jabbed and more than once. (Wh[...]
Definition of “black”
Joe Rogan claims a black person is “someone who is, like, 100% African from the darkest place where they are not wearing any clothes all day.” (That didn’t go by without causing ripples; see story here). Rogan (bio here) hosts a popular podcast with a large following. But he’[...]

Is “Havana syndrome” due to mass hysteria?
The CIA’s investigation of the so-called “Havana syndrome” some have blamed on directed-energy attacks has concluded it’s unlikely a result of hostile action by a foreign power, the Guardian newspaper reported on Thursday, January 20, 2022 (read story here). After a few embas[...]
Talent agency drops Fox host for comnparing Dr. Fauci to infamous Nazi doctor
Fox host (or ex-host, that isn’t clear yet) Lara Logan (bio here) won’t get any more gigs from United Talent Agency (profile here). She’s so nasty and vile, they want nothing to do with her. She may have lost her Fox Nation gig, too; at the very least, Fox executives have buried he[...]
