For the third time this year, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied a motion to halt mandatory COVID-19 vaccines, this time declining to block a vaccine requirement imposed on Maine health care workers. Both "conservative" and "liberal" judges on the Supreme Court have now ruled in favor of Big Pharma, showing that this is a non-partisan issue.

Either it is the fault of God or of God’s creature, man. Today, we look at man’s role. *No Resistance: *One of the weaknesses of man is... read more
