You may still not have your third stimulus check the IRS is sending out as part of the American Rescue Plan. But the White House is working ahead and hasn’t ruled out a fourth stimulus payment this year. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration is looking to Congress for a fourth round of payments. “We’ll see what members of Congress propose,” Psaki said in response to a question about a fourth check.

Early in the pandemic, when vaccines for the coronavirus were still just a glimmer on the horizon, the term “herd immunity” came to signify the endgame: the point when enough Americans would be protected from the virus so we could be rid of the pathogen and reclaim our lives.

Now, more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.

FRISCO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Governor Greg Abbott expressed confidence Tuesday, May 4 that the Texas legislature will pass a permit-less or constitutional-carry bill this session. “I think it can get across the finish line.”

He said last week he would sign the legislation if it arrives at his desk. Continue reading “Gov. Greg Abbott Confident Legislature Will Pass Constitutional Carry Bill: ‘I Think It Can Get Across The Finish Line’”

A Nashville police officer was shot while responding to a 911 call of a woman shot at a house — and the department says it believes the call was a “setup” by the shooter to get authorities to respond.

Officers were fired upon as soon as they arrived at the house Tuesday evening, police spokesperson Kris Mumford told ABC News. Continue reading “Nashville officer shot while responding to ‘setup’ 911 call; suspect dead: Police”

(AP/WBTV) – The IOC says athlete protests and political messages will remain banned at the Olympics after a survey found that a majority of competitors were in favor of keeping the ban in place.

That means raising a fist on the podium or taking a knee would still risk punishment at the Tokyo Games this year.  Continue reading “Olympics bans ‘Black Lives Matter’ apparel, could punish athletes for social protests”

A federal judge on Wednesday vacated the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s temporary federal eviction moratorium, which had been extended multiple times since being enacted by the Trump administration last fall.

Why it matters: The nationwide halt on most evictions due to the pandemic was seen as a temporary fix for millions of renters put at risk of losing their homes during the coronavirus pandemic.  Continue reading “Federal judge overturns CDC’s eviction moratorium”

Seychelles, which has fully vaccinated more of its population against Covid-19 than any other country, has closed schools and canceled sporting activities for two weeks as infections surge.
The measures, which include bans on the intermingling of households and the early closure of bars, come even as the country has fully vaccinated more than 60% of its adult population with two doses of coronavirus vaccines. The curbs are similar to those last imposed at the end of 2020.

New American CDC document shows PCR tests ‘only’ for vaccinated people will use a 28 cycle threshold. American CDC uses a 40+ cycle threshold to inflate #of Covid-19 cases and fear based on ‘presumption’ not deaths. 40+ cycles also used in Canada. A 40 cycle threshold produces a 97% false positive rate.

Lowering the PCR cycle threshold for vaccinated people is massive fraud to make it look like the vaccines are working, predicted by many freedom activists.

There is growing fear, not just in the UK, that Governments are keen to start jabbing children, despite the fact that trials have only just begun and the risk of severe illness is close to zero.

Males in the age bracket of 0-19, even with one or greater underlying conditions, have a survival rate of 99.9603 per cent, according to a study by Stockholm University. Females in that age bracket have a 99.9639 per cent chance of survival. Continue reading “Doctors around the world unite to call the Covid Vaccines “Unnecessary, Ineffective and Unsafe””

Democrats are planning to monitor you at home to ensure that you are following the arbitrary dictates regarding COVID. CDP previously reported on this atrocity, but the Washington Times explained:

A House resolution from Illinois Democrat Rep. Bobby Rush that would put Big Government in charge of tracking citizens’ movements as they relate to COVID-19 mitigation efforts — even sending health bureaucrats to “individuals’ residences,” “as necessary,” as the legislation states — has a most apt number: 6666.
