The Contradiction in the Covid Inquiry's Posted By: Mercedes44, 11/30/2025 4:07:23 AM The Covid Inquiry's headline figure that an earlier lockdown (March 16th 2020) "would have" resulted in approximately 23,000 fewer deaths in England derives from a counterfactual simulation performed by Professor Ferguson's Imperial College modelling group, who reported a 48% reduction in first-wave mortality when comparing a March 16th intervention to the actual March 23rd lockdown. But a close reading of the inquiry's own evidence shows that this modelling claim has the same structural vulnerabilities that produced some of the worst modelling failures in recent medical history.

Watch: Things Go Off the Rails in NYC Posted By: FlyRight, 11/30/2025 3:49:45 AM The left has gone way off the rails with their anti-ICE actions. Even after attacks on ICE facilities that have left people dead, you still have radical anti-ICE crews wreaking havoc in places like New York City, trying to stop ICE from carrying out its mission. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made it clear: the radicals aren't going to stop them. Apparently, the radicals heard that the federal agents might be conducting another operation on Canal Street, an area ICE has hit in the past. So about 150 people tried to block agents…...

All of Trump"s rhetorical cylinders were firing as he gave us this: The "swaddling hijab" business is a nice little nod to the Christmas season, and while this is Trump at his most acidic, there is no denying any of it. In fact, Ilhan Omar herself has made it clear more than once that she has little but contempt for the land that welcomed her and her family and gave them refuge from her violent, anarchic, war-torn homeland.

Brad Lander's departure as NYC comptroller Posted By: Mercedes44, 11/30/2025 3:56:28 AM Brad Lander won't be New York City comptroller much longer " and that's good news for Gotham's rank and file. It's not just because Lander is a knee-jerk leftist who rivals Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani when it comes to his out-of-touch patter on economic policy. He's also a dullard seemingly unaware of the core function of the job he's held for the last four years. Lander, as the city's chief fiscal officer, is the fiduciary, investment adviser and custodian of the city's $300 billion pension fund system. He's supposed to make sure the funds are invested in securities that grow in value so…...

Kash Patel Has Intriguing News About Comey Posted By: Mercedes44, 11/30/2025 4:02:28 AM As we reported, a judge tossed the case against former FBI Director James Comey for technical reasons, ruling the appointment of the interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, who had filed the matter, was invalid. So it wasn't a ruling on the merits of the case, and it was dismissed without prejudice, so it could potentially be filed again, although there's a potential question about the statute of limitations.The Justice Department (DOJ) has already indicated that it would appeal that decision. So I don't think Comey should be taking that victory lap just yet, because it surely sounds like more…...

FDA Ties Coronavirus Jabs to Pediatric Deaths Posted By: Mercedes44, 11/30/2025 4:10:38 AM The fallout from the 2020 COVID-19 debacle is still raining down. In the latest episode, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now found evidence linking the coronavirus vaccines to as many as 10 child deaths, and the federal agency is responding by ramping up new vaccine approval regulations. At least part of this was done at the urging of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We should note that at least part of the new approach is not just on how vaccines are delivered, but how they are developed. Reminder: "WE ARE A SALON AND…...
