He has just learned cancer has spread to distant lymph nodes, and he has a very young child with special needs, whose mother has abandoned them both.

Two public health battles are being waged right now.The first, of course, is against the coronavirus.The second has its sights on a broad and amorphous target called “medical misinformation.” This campaign aims, at least in part, to control what people read, see and know about potential treatments for COVID-19. Firmly in its crosshairs is a cheap, generic drug that just might turn this pandemic around, Ivermectin. In this second battle, YouTube videos are removed. Twitter accounts with thousands of followers are purged. Facebook posts and groups are disappeared. These are the overt acts of censorship of ivermectin and other treatment...

Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was playing to the crowd when she criticized him over the weekend. Fauci appeared on CBS’s “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan on Sunday to respond to Noem, who took a shot at him in a Saturday speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that took place in Orlando, Fla., this weekend. Noem, a Republican, has touted her state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and argued against heavy-handed lockdown policies pushed by Fauci and others. During her CPAC speech, Noem told the crowd, “I don’t know if you...

Nancy Pelosi solicited a letter from Stacey Abrams to members of Congress about the upcoming vote on H.R. 1, the For the People Act. In her “Dear colleague” letter, Pelosi let Abrams describe how critical the legislation is “to the future of the Democracy.” Abrams compared voter suppression in the 2020 election to the Jim Crow era. ”The COVID pandemic revealed both the inequalities in our voting laws and the necessity of standardized guidelines that apply regardless of the U.S. citizen’s state of residence. In response to the critical adaptations made in the 2020 cycle, voter suppression legislation champion by...

Hall said there were concerns even before the election. “The Michigan auditor general found that there were many people across our state who were over 120 years old, which is longer than the oldest living person and we found there’s over 300,000 people who were inactive voters who haven’t voted in over 20 years,” he said. Hall said Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) knew those facts but still sent out “millions of unsolicited absentee ballot applications to this inactive voter list.” However, Hall insisted “we knew the list was inaccurate.” He told The Kyle Olson Show House Bill 4127...

It has been 40 days since President Joe Biden’s inauguration, and he has not held a solo press conference. A reporter asked Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday if President Joe Biden is scheduled to independently address the White House press corps. “Not yet, but we will definitely have one,” Psaki said. “We will schedule it, and you’ll be the first to know. Cause you’re pivotal participants in that.” Biden notably answered very few unscripted questions during his campaign, at which time former President Donald Trump nicknamed him “Joe Hiden.” Breitbart News reported Biden told CNN the strategy of “hiding”...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell committed on Monday that Senate Republicans will support GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski's reelection bid in 2022 despite former President Donald Trump advocating that the GOP "get rid of" the 17 Republicans in Congress who voted against him during his second impeachment. Of the seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump of inciting a deadly riot at the Capitol on January 6, Alaska's Murkowski is the only one facing voters in the midterm election next year in a state Trump won by about 10 points last year. "Absolutely," McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, replied when asked...

I am not at all qualified to introduce today’s guest writer, Sergiu Klainerman. I barely eked out a C+ in high school calculus, while Sergiu is a professor of mathematics at Princeton who specializes in the mathematical theory of black holes. He’s been a MacArthur fellow, a Guggenheim fellow and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences Mathematics allowed a young Sergiu, who came of age in Ceausescu’s Romania, to escape to a world where right and wrong couldn’t be fudged, and, ultimately, to a life of freedom in the United States. Without math, his life quite literally...

The conference was originally meant to take place in 2020, marking the fifth anniversary of the landmark Paris climate agreement, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The two had a discussion after Cuomo offered positive thoughts about the newlyweds.

The fabric connecting the African Anglican Communion to the West seems to be tearing like the temple curtain at Jesus’ death. This is after the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) wrote a terse letter to the Anglican Church of North America over the issue of same-sex relationships. The letter signed by Archbishop Henry Ndukuba, the Primate of the Nigerian church comes after a statement by the College of Bishops of Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), which has largely been interpreted as support for the gay. “The Bishops noted, ‘that the struggle with human identity is real and painful for...

Armed militants kidnapped 317 girls from a boarding school early Friday morning in northwest Nigeria following a wave of mass abductions in Africa’s most populous nation. Nasiru Abdullahi told The Associated Press his daughters, ages 10 and 13, are among the 300 girls abducted from the Government Girls Science Secondary School in Jangebe. “It is disappointing that even though the military have a strong presence near the school they were unable to protect the girls,” Abdullahi told the AP. “At this stage, we are only hoping on divine intervention.” The AP reports that Musa Mustapha, a local resident, said gunmen...

Benninghoff, a Centre County Republican, faulted what he described as incomplete testimony about nursing home from Wolf administration officials at hearings. “We believe Pennsylvanians deserve better from their government when they...
