Did a CIA Drone Take Out an Iranian F-14 Tomcat?*David Axe* *F-14 Tomcat, Middle East* The F-14s played a major role in Iran’s war with Iraq from 1980 to 1988.

"The Omicron Fake-out"*"The Omicron Fake-out"* by Jim Kunstler "My guess is that Americans, by and large, cherish Christmas more than they fear the latest Covid-19 government-sponsored terror campaign, and that the globalist tyrants - or whatever you want to call them - behind “Joe Biden” have now gone a mind-f**k too far. Omicron is all they have left, and it’s not much to work with. Spreads easily, mild presentation, immunizes naturally. What’s not to like about this variant of SARS-CoV-2? Kind of looks like an off-ramp from the Covid-19 mass formation psychosis nightmare. Of course, the last thing th... read more

But he wrote a column last week that deliciously ripped apart the “1619 Project” and the New York Times’ amplification of it, in the process enraging “woke” leftists who didn’t appreciate the inconvenient truths he told about the project’s creator Nikole Hannah-Jones’ flagrant rewriting of history.

The Lethality of COVID-19 - Who Is Dying?
We keep hearing from the mainstream/legacy media that the death count from the SARS-CoV-2 virus keeps rising, a narrative that we have now been exposed to for the past 18 months, however, what we rarely hear about is the data behind the "death data".
