The majority of physicians have failed because they have not put into practice the safe and effective treatments that now exist for COVID. As recent as the mid-1800s, five women in 1,000 died in deliveries performed by midwives. On the other hand, when physicians performed deliveries, the death rate was often 10 to 20 times greater. This was because physicians often began their day performing autopsies with bare hands and then, without washing their hands, examined pregnant women and delivered babies. Midwives, on the other hand, did not perform autopsies. These physician-caused deaths were due to puerperal fever, a horrendous...

resident Biden's first formal press conference is in the books, and it was deeply embarrassing to anyone who thinks the media's job is to hold presidents accountable. Taxpayer-enabled PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor was the worst. She complimented the president, saying: "You've said over and over again that immigrants shouldn't come to this country right now; this isn't the time to come. That message is not being received. Instead, the perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and are trusting you...

Major Williams, a conservative Republican running for California governor, wants to eliminate state taxes, make the Golden State pro-Second Amendment, and implement public-private partnerships to efficiently solve common issues that Californians face. "So my team, we've created this umbrella called the Restore California Plan," Williams told the John Solomon Reports podcast." "Within a Restore California Plan, we're looking at the budget. Once we get in there, we want to do a forensic audit. "Once we do the forensic audit, we have an opportunity to look at the wasteful spending, which California has a lot of, and reallocate those funds to...

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is now getting ready to hire public companies, individual contractors outside government, to scour public data and social media in order to provide information for the new “domestic terror watch lists.” From the description it appears DHS is going to pay “big tech” (Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter, etc.), via contracts, to hire and organize internal monitoring teams to assist the government by sending information on citizens they deem “dangerous.” Gee, what could possibly go wrong with this?… NBC is reporting on these new developments as the U.S. intelligence apparatus is preparing to...

McCarthy & GOP visit US-Mexico border and ICE facilityy in El Paso. Last week House Republicans held a news ‘Joe Biden Border Crisis’ conference on US President’s failing border policies.

The social media platform has become 'boring,' the former president said on Fox News' 'The Ingraham Angle' ---------------------------------- Fewer electronic messages may actually be better, former President Trump -- who was banned from Twitter in January -- said Thursday night. In an exclusive interview on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle," Trump said he now prefers issuing less frequent official press releases rather than being on Twitter, which he said has become "boring" since he was forced off the platform.

Lesser charge may have been better fit, attorneys note.
