Millions have watched AOC telling her “near death” experience at the Capitol on January 6, the direct threat to her very being. How Ted Cruz had sent people to kill her. Those rioters in the U.S. Capitol building inspired by Trump had her in the cross hairs. That colleagues who don’t do her bidding now are akin to those who tell sex abuse survivors to “move on.” That they “continue to be a danger.”Just like Jussie Smollett, AOC claimed to be in direct danger from Trump types. Just like Smollett, she made it up. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was not in the...

I’ve made a minor hobby of looking skeptically at immunizations since my case report on atypical measles was published as the centerpiece article in JAMA 45 years ago. That case illustrated at least one unpublicized problem from immunizations.It seems that the original measles vaccine, “a killed measles vaccine” was given to preschool kids beginning in 1962-63 and available until 1968. It did prevent measles for about six years. Thereafter, when these kids were exposed to measles they sometimes developed an inverted and much more serious illness. My case was the first that occurred in a young adult 14 years after...

At issue is Paul’s annual report on...

Drugs, prostitutes, shady dealings, a quickie marriage — President Joe Biden's son Hunter is too easily depicted as sleaze in human form. Who else would have left his wife and jumped into bed with his recently departed brother's widow only for her to end the affair when he got a stripper pregnant? Is it only Hunter who could have received two special waivers to join the military and be commissioned at a special ceremony in the White House, but then blow his chance on his very first day when a blood test came back positive for cocaine?

U.S. Rep. Val Demings of Orlando says she is “keeping the door open” for a potential run for governor or U.S. senator next year. “I certainly would not talk about any private conversations that I’m having,” Demings, D-Orlando, said in an interview with the Washington Post on Tuesday. “But as I said, there’s plenty of work to do in the House right now.

A South African couple had to rule out a morning swim after they spotted a crocodile taking a dip in their pool. Angel and Jaco Breytenbach from the country's North West Province were checking their security cameras on January 29 before letting their pets out of the house – and it's a good thing they did.
