AMERICAN GREATNESS — Dr. Peter McCullough, a top cardiologist and leader in the medical response to the COVID pandemic, said in a recent interview that myocarditis in young people post vaccine is far more dangerous than the COVID version of the heart disease.

JUST THE NEWS — An Illinois lawyer who helped a dying COVID patient win court-ordered treatment with ivermectin and survive says the episode reveals a deep need for American health professions to rethink their approach to a pandemic that has persisted nearly two full years. "There are obviously remedies that we're not looking at," attorney Kristin Erickson told Just the News. "And we need to think outside of the current standard of care that hospitals are giving. And if it's not working, let's look at outcomes and not finances."... (more)

DAVID KUPELIAN — One year before the 2022 midterm elections, the United States of America, long the freest, most powerful and most successful nation on earth, is on the brink of total meltdown.

WASHINGTON TIMES — Mexico said Thursday that it will allow the restart of a Trump-era border policy that immediately sends illegal immigrants back across the boundary after the Department of Homeland Security announced it would speed up court hearings, offer vaccinations and help improve conditions for the migrants. The Biden administration made clear it wasn't happy about the move and was acting only under a court order to revive the program, officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols but commonly called the "Remain in Mexico" policy....

MADELINE CRABB — These are crazy days in America. The Czars of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) "pandemic" are changing how we live, work, and even breathe. Remember Fauci using the holiday season to promote the vaccines? Nonetheless, many millions of people traveled near and far last week to celebrate Thanksgiving. But how many of us took time to be truly thankful? Did we take even a few moments to reflect on all the blessings God has given us? Oh, there are too many for most of us to fathom, the most important being the mere fact we are alive.... (more)

SELWYN DUKE — In a social media feed Monday, I came across a 1979 60 Minutes segment on the propaganda surrounding the 1976 swine flu panic. Many of us had already heard about how the event was reminiscent of today's COVID-19 con, but actually watching the segment drives home how striking the parallels between the two disease scares are. Exaggerations of the bugs' severity, media propaganda and fear-mongering, an effort to vaccinate the whole nation, serious vaccine-coincident side-effects, and an apparent government cover-up of the latter were all elements of the '76 fiasco just as they epitomize what's occurring today....
