Subscribe to their newsletter.When the COVID-19 vaccine was released in 2020, Daniel Pendergast was intrigued.“I honestly thought it sounded kind of ingenious at first,” he said.But then he learned there was a very small chance of heart inflammation that could occur after vaccination in healthy men like himself: around eight cases per million, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. For Pendergast, 44, whose family has a history of heart disease, even that low risk felt too high. He decided against taking the shot.That was a problem for Pendergast. As a master sergeant in the Air National Guard, he was required to follow Pentagon orders mandating vaccination.Ultimately, he decided to forgo vaccination and leave the military once his contract was up in June 2022. It was a hard decision. He had been in the military for 16 years, served in the Honor Guard, and sang the national anthem at sporting events.Daniel Pendergast had to choose between getting the COVID vaccine and his career in the Air National Guard (Photo courtesy of Daniel Pendergast)“Lots of tears were shed over…

This article was originally published by Edison Reed at Natural News.  Beltline Energy, a data center developer, is planning a $15 billion artificial intelligence data center campus near Yukon, Oklahoma. Residents like Pencia Truhan have expressed concerns over a lack of transparency, particularly regarding water consumption, according to reporting from NaturalNews.com. The developer barred media from meetings and asked local officials to sign nondisclosure agreements, fueling opposition. Local officials across the United States have raised similar concerns as rapid data center construction accelerates, according to an article by Petra Stone. The article stated that mayors are sounding alarms about data centers pushing the U.S. toward blackouts and water shortages [1]. In Oklahoma, the project has generated skepticism among community members who say they have been kept in the dark about basic details. Water Consumption and Regulatory Gaps Data centers consume large volumes of water for cooling. Google’s facility in Pryor, Oklahoma, uses approximately 1.1 billion gallons annually, according to industry reports. A report by Chase Codewell on NaturalNews.com noted that the artificial intelligence boom has an invisible cost in water, and that tech companies are draining the nation’s most essential resource [2]. Similar concerns have been raised in Texas, where data…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Weeks after the Obama Presidential Center’s star-studded opening in Chicago, a subcontractor who previously claimed his company was stiffed for nearly $4 million has shut down operations and laid off 25 union workers.Mike Owen, the owner of Chicago-based Adamson Plumbing Contractors, told Fox News Digital that the financial fallout forced the company to abandon about half a dozen other construction jobs and left it on the verge of collapse. Owen described the shutdown as a painful decision he believed was necessary to save the company from bankruptcy.”Laying off close to 30 people is something that no owner in our industry wants to do,” Owen said. “It’s a hard thing to do, especially when you know you can finish them and the company can still make money. But we were put in a pretty bad corner.”SUBCONTRACTORS SAY THEY’RE OWED MILLIONS, FACE FINANCIAL RUIN, AFTER HELPING BUILD OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL CENTER Adamson, which performed its work on the center under the name Marsh-Adamson, has since filed a $1.72 million mechanic’s lien against the property, escalating the payment dispute into a legal fight.The company is one of several subcontractors to report financial trouble after working on…

USA Today columnist Nancy Armour wants Caitlin Clark to stop flopping and berating WNBA officials.Plenty of people agree with that take, including OutKick’s Dan Dakich.Others would argue that Clark’s frustration is understandable, given the physical treatment she has received and the WNBA’s inconsistent officiating. Either way, Armour is well within her rights to criticize Clark’s behavior on the court. But Armour’s latest column goes much further than that. Much, much further.Armour argues that Clark’s reactions to missed calls put “Black” and “queer” WNBA players “in danger,” essentially blaming Clark for alleged racist messages sent by people she doesn’t know and has publicly condemned.No, this is not satire.SPORTS MEDIA HAS CREATED AN ‘INDUSTRY’ OUT OF COMPLAINING ABOUT WHITE ATHLETES LIKE CAITLIN CLARKThe column begins by declaring that Clark and her “enablers must take the rest of us for idiots.” Armour points to two recent plays, one involving Chelsea Gray and another involving Kiah Stokes, as proof that Clark exaggerates contact and creates false narratives about opposing players.As far as the Gray play, Armour and others have pointed out that Clark didn’t go to the floor until after the whistle, suggesting that she was pretending to be hurt. But anyone who understands…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Congress may soon consider the Senator Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026 — a bill that epitomizes how out of touch Washington’s foreign policy establishment is with everyday Americans. The legislation is the latest counterproductive attempt to hold Russia accountable for its war against Ukraine, now well into its fifth year. But don’t let sympathy for Ukraine fool you: this legislation is a tariff bill that seems to have been written with such blind rage that, rather than compel a change in Vladimir Putin’s behavior, its punitive measures would make American families poorer and undermine our national interests.The Graham Sanction/Tariff bill, if passed, will likely be the largest tax increase ever passed by a Republican Congress and cost the American people half a trillion dollars. The bill would slap a 500 percent tariff on all U.S. trade with Russia and give the President unilateral authority to impose up to 100 percent tariffs on all goods imported into the United States from the top five largest importers of Russian crude oil or natural gas and countries who facilitate Russian oil sanctions evasion.Those countries currently encompass China, India, Japan, Azerbaijan France, Hungary,…

How Larry Kelly and Mag-na-port revolutionized recoil reduction and changed the handgun industry forever.There will never be another Larry Kelly. His life was truly an example of the rags-to-riches American Dream fairytale, proving that you can succeed with a sharp mind. While necessity is the mother of all invention, you need an innovative idea to follow-up on. Larry’s business success allowed him to hunt around the world. With improvements in transportation, his keen abilities to make friends wherever he hunted and generous bag limits of the day, no one will ever be able to duplicate the number of trophy animals he killed with a handgun.Larry was constantly invited back to various hunting camps and to game depredation operations by heads of African game control. To say Larry lived a charmed life would be an understatement in the largest sense, because before his successes, he lived a meager life, barely getting by.Humble Beginnings   Larry loved to hunt. He spent as much time in the Michigan woods as humanly possible as a kid. His hunting obsession grew to include trapping and firearms. So much so, he dropped out of school in the eighth grade to pursue his life’s calling. As time passed,…
