PART OF THE MAKE-OVER FOR BOTH ARE PHARMACEUTICAL

CEOs of BioNTech, Pfizer, J&J and Merck Make List of Highest-Paid Pharma Execs.

We Spent a Year Investigating How the FDA Let Risky Drugs Into the U.S. Market. Our investigation revealed a previously unknown practice within the FDA that allowed more than 150 drugs or their ingredients to enter the U.S. over the past decade, despite being manufactured at factories banned from shipping their products here.

A lot of information is packed into a sourced article.

[catnipman]

if you’re going to pimp your blog here, at least include something in the blog that’s more than a random bunch of trivial nonsense ...

[FamiliarFace]

I’d love to see blog pimpers donate at least $10 for every time they post their clickbait. Jim wouldn’t have to beg for contributions so much then.

[webheart]

Some of the blog pimps would go bankrupt if they had to pony up 10 bucks every time they excerpt their own articles. The whole reason they post here is because nobody sees them and they don’t get any clicks at all. Even posting on FR can’t dig them out of their holes.

[FamiliarFace]

Blogpimpers going bankrupt would be fine with me.

[FamiliarFace]

P.S. Sometimes, they’re not even their own articles they’re pimping, just their website. Copy and paste someone else’s intellectual property on your own blog, post the link on FR, then run and hide.

[JimRed]

The headline appears to have nothing to do with the snip of content.

[Labyrinthos]

Using Free Republic to pimp your own blog, YouTube channel, website, etc., seems to be a growing trend of late. Calling them out on it usually results in a snide response and ridicule.

In addition to these attention whores, I am near certain that we have paid “influencers” who use FR to steer us to certain websites, blogs, and X accounts

“Calling them out on it usually results in a snide response and ridicule.”

i get a lot of that from the paid russkie trolls here anyway ... sticks and stones ...

"nextrush" is a nasty & arrogant violator of pimping ONLY EXCERPTS from his personal blog and abusing FR rules.

[FamiliarFace]

Agree.

[FamiliarFace]

Not the only one. There are lots of them. Some pose as Christians. Maybe they are, but maybe they just use that as a cover.

And not ONE OF YOU READ ONE ARTICLE—just the dumb article titles. CEOs of BioNTech, Pfizer, J&J and Merck Make List of Highest-Paid Pharma Execs. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/ceo-biontech-pfizer-johnson-and-johnson-merck-highest-paid-pharma-execs/

Lab-Grown Meat May Pollute More Than Beef- And Why It’s Not What You Think.

Kroger claims it will lower grocery prices by $1 billion, but only if allowed to merge with fellow grocery giant Albertsons. Folks, Kroger is admitting it already has too much pricing power. A grocery store mega-merger will only give it more power. The deal is a rotten egg. Thank God, the deal fell flat.

Hundreds of pharmacies are set to close: How it could impact you.

I covered the CEO’s excessive pay, rising prices due to building, not the tarrifs. STO, damage, that is still an issue, as only two are operable. Cathrine Fitts $21 Trillion Reserve fraud, and Birthright Citizenship, from Heritage.

Constructive suggestion—pick one topic and be thorough on that topic.

The scattershot approach is irritating to the reader.

Maybe a Pimp List?

You didn’t look.

[cgbg]

Correct—I did not look—because of FR’s views on pimping blogs.

Walmart & Kroger (Ralphs). Their prepared salads have made me ill in the past.

The outbreak began in August 2024, the notice said. It was nice of them to tell everyone 10 months later!!!

Prepared meals sold at Walmart and Kroger have been recalled amid an outbreak of Listeria linked to several chicken fettuccine alfredo products.

Ready-to-eat foods such as sandwiches and protein snacks made by Fresh & Ready Foods LLC that were sold to retail stores, hospitals, hotels, airports and airlines in the states of Arizona, California, Nevada, and Washington have been recalled.

Understanding Walmart Credit Cards

Walmart Rewards Card: This card can only be used at Walmart properties, including physical store locations and Walmart.com. It offers 5% cash back on purchases made at Walmart.com, including grocery pickup and delivery, and 2% back in Walmart stores.

Walmart Rewards Mastercard: This card can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted. It offers the same benefits as the Walmart Rewards Card, but also allows for purchases outside of Walmart, providing additional rewards opportunities for gas and dining, for instance.

The rewards programs linked with both cards can help you save significantly, but it’s important to evaluate your spending habits to decide which card suits you best.
