Dr. Sherri Tenpenny Predicted That COVID Vaccines Would Kill Over 50 Million Americans. What Happened Next?

Happy Labor Day!
Billionaires and millionaires did not give us the right to organize, the 8‑hour work day, a 40‑hour work week, child labor laws, or a minimum wage. Workers did that!
This Labor Day, we honor the victories that built our country and the fights that are still being waged. ✊

RIP Dolly
When we say Dolly Parton changed lives, she did, it was clear, it was evident, it was everywhere. The Imagination Library was a supreme act of loving children and families and showing it through books and money and effort. The Moderna vaccines she funded. The money she poured into her hometown.

Stop Saying There's a Nursing Shortage
The U.S. may have less of a shortage of licensed nurses than a shortage of nurses who are willing to work in bedside jobs that have become increasingly demanding.

Dracula and early vampire stories were based heavily on antisemitic tropes of blood libel and implying that Miller, a Jew, drinks blood is tapping in to one of the most vile historic examples of antisemitism in all of history!
