Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration is planning to introduce strict new guidelines to pressure the American people to limit their alcohol consumption. Under the new rules, the Biden admin will urge the public to drink no more than two beers per week. Biden’s health “czar” Dr. George Koob told the Daily Mail the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) could revise its alcohol advice to match Canada‘s limits. The Canadian people are advised to have just two drinks per week. Koob said he has been watching Canada’s “big experiment” with interest. “If there’s health benefits, I think people will start...

Do we know if estrogen in the water supply is a significant problem? What are its major sources? How does this relate to morality and politics? Some research:► The next abortion fight could be over wastewater regulation Abortion opponents plan to use environmental laws to curb access to pills used to terminate an early pregnancy. The new approach comes as the pills mifepristone and misoprostol, which people can take at home during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, have become the most common method of abortion in the U.S. and virtually the only option for millions of people in states...

Why do conservative media feel the need to kowtow to the Democrat Party's biased and partisan (not to mention self-serving and … hateful) rhetoric? Have the many troubling events of election night already been forgotten? Once and for all, fellow journalists and fellow citizens, conservative and liberal alike (although I hardly expect the latter to follow this piece of — friendly — advice), stop saying "Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election" and stop referring to "the election that Trump lost", to "Trump's defeat", to "Trump tried to change the results", and to "false claims". The way that even conservative...

THE ETERNAL MEANING OF INDEPENDENCE DAY (2) President Calvin Coolidge celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1926, with a speech providing a magisterial review of the history and thought underlying the Declaration. His speech on the occasion deserves to be read and studied in its entirety. The following paragraph, however, is particularly relevant to the challenge that confronts us in the variants of the progressive dogma that pass themselves off today as the higher wisdom: "About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has...

Inmates from the January 6 protests were involved in a fight between guards at a D.C. jail, after one inmate who refused to wear a mask was maced by a guard, a lawyer for one of the inmates tells National File. Amid various media reports of abuse by guards onto prisoners locked up in a Washington D.C. jail for their alleged involvement in the January 6 protests on Capitol Hill, National File now understands that on Thursday, another incident of seeming abuse occurred. Attorney Jonathon Moseley, who represents multiple January 6 detainees, told National File that one detainee who refused...

Biden using corporate businesses to enforce his mandate. There is NO federal mandate issued. Listen to these facts. Coercion by government, forcing businesses to do its illegal evil.

The Marxists behind the regime and the deep state were working their ‘magic’ to turn our country into a socialist gulag with them in charge little by little, like the proverbial frog in the frying pan. Now, with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, they’re engaged in a full sprint toward tyranny. We’ve gone from “two weeks to slow the spread” of the virus to mandatory vaccines, but they’re not being imposed by the federal government, they’re being implemented by private companies and corporations as a ‘favor’ to the regime in exchange for not being further regulated — and without...

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has spent nearly US$6 billion over the past 17 years trying to improve agriculture, mainly in Africa. This is a lot of money for an underfunded sector, and, as such, carries great weight. To better understand how the Gates Foundation is shaping the global agriculture agenda, GRAIN analysed all the food and agriculture grants the foundation has made up until 2020. We found that, while the Foundation’s grants focus on African farmers, the vast majority of its funding goes to groups in North America and Europe. The grants are also heavily skewed to technologies...

A little over a month ago, BofA spooked even the most dovish elements on Wall Street and in the Marriner Eccles building, when the bank said that judging by the explosion of references to surging prices in Q1 earnings calls, the bank concluded that this “pointing to at the very least, “transitory” hyper-inflation ahead.” Yes… really: Fast forward to today when BofA’s economist Alex Lin quantified what his bank qualified to so many shocked gasps one month ago. As Lin writes, with core CPI inflation at 3.8% yoy in May, “we must assess how much of the acceleration in inflation...

A video out of Chile shows an elderly woman being refused entry to a supermarket because she didn’t obtain the necessary government permission to buy groceries under the country’s lockdown rules. The clip shows the woman, who is apparently 100-years-old, appearing to be confused as she is denied access by security guards in uniform. “Unfortunately government measures are not intended for the most vulnerable, not everyone handles the technology, not everyone has access to the internet,” tweeted Radio Villa Francia along with the video. n Chile, people have to apply for a “safe conduct pass” online, which only allows them...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Boy, this is going to be one expensive pair of debates. – Last week, I rolled out a proposed drinking game to play during this week’s pair of Democrat debates: Take a shot of tequila every time one of the candidates makes a proposal that would cost more than $1 trillion. You’ll be dead within an hour. At the rate this motley collection of miscreants, sloths, Commies and grifters is going, I’m going to have to revise that death estimate down to about 20 minutes. Here are some examples of...

<p>The economy is booming, with the New York branch of the Federal Reserve now estimating it will grow at the pace of 3.98% in the fourth quarter. That would represent our third straight quarter above 3% economic growth, a feat not achieved in over a decade.</p>

Things that have become clearer from the Weinstein affair: (1) in their ideal world, Hollywood is a model of what the left would like this country to be; a world in which the rich, elites have control over and manipulate every aspect of our lives. (2) socialism/communism is a natural consequence of their belief in (1); one only needs to look at the Venezuelan model to see what happens if they succeed and to a certain degree, folks like Weinstein have successfully implemented the Venezuelan model within the Hollywood sphere. (3) it is possible that the many leftists in Hollywood...

Disturbing news is coming from Australia after a worldwide effort revealed exactly what a gay couple was doing to their child. Apparently grooming and “systematically violating” their adopted son since he was just 20-months-old, they used him for money in an international pedophile ring. Hundreds of photos and videos were stored on the computer of Peter Truong and Mark Newton showing a seemingly happy family. The countless vacations, all documented with footage portray a family that has much darker secrets. Starting their toddler out small, authorities involved in the case relay that they “systematically violated” Adam as they prepared him...

the top 14 “movers and shakers” in health care in 2014 because his legal analysis led to the upcoming Supreme Court case on Obamacare’s state subsidies that may blow the ACA sky high. Anyway, Jon flags a U.S. District Court opinion out this morning that finds Obama’s immigration executive action exceeds the proper understanding of “prosecutorial discretion”: According to the opinion by Judge Arthur Schwab, the president’s policy goes “beyond prosecutorial discretion” in that it provides a relatively rigid framework for considering applications for deferred action, thus obviating any meaningful case-by-case determination as prosecutorial discretion requires, and provides substantive rights...

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, President Obama took some heavy flak for addressing a female factory worker and a woman reporter as "sweeties". Cognizant that female voters might find the crass moniker disrespectful, the Politician-in-Chief quickly called the female reporter and issued an apology on her voice mail saying he was sorry for using the word "sweetie". The President added: "That's a bad habit of mine, I do it sometimes with all kinds of people" - including - as the satirical video below indicates - Michelle Obama. However, despite the President's tactless style of speaking with women, and the need...
