The state of Mississippi has filed a lawsuit accusing major pharmaceutical companies of orchestrating an across-the-board insulin price spike after the Biden administration dropped a rule change by the previous administration aimed at lowering them. Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch sued the top three insulin manufacturers, saying they were increasing the price of the drug, in some cases nearly 1000%.... Congress has tried several times over recent years to get the price of insulin down, but failure to do so led the Trump administration to a rules change that would have made it easier for patients in rural communities to...

Sen. Joe Manchin on Tuesday said he will support a Democratic show-vote on an election reform bill after getting fellow Democrats including Stacey Abrams to voice support for voter ID rules that they had previously denounced as racist. The vote will fail and a final bill wasn’t even drafted ahead of a doomed 5 p.m. motion to invoke cloture, which requires 60 senators to agree to proceed. Democrats hold just 50 seats and the only major unknown was whether they would stick together in the base-rallying gesture designed to show pushback on Republican state election reforms that President Biden claims...

The most tone-deaf mayor in New York City’s history has given the most tone-deaf exit interview ever — tiptoeing through the tulips, quite literally, as the city is ravaged by rampant crime, homelessness, lawlessness and trash. But join him, won’t you, as Bill de Blasio grants a reporter the privilege of sharing his daily 90-minute midday stroll through Prospect Park. It’s not like there’s anything more pressing to do. Really: If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. This particular perambulation, reported by Politico’s Ruby Cramer, went up on primary day, the timing itself a damning indictment.

A controversial bill which would punish those helping children with gender confusion or unwanted same-sex attraction with jail time of up to five years passed third reading in Canada’s House of Commons today. Led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his government’s Bill C-6, often referred to as a “conversion therapy” ban, will now proceed to Canada’s Senate for review. Bill C-6 passed with 263 votes in favor, and 63 votes against it. The bill had the support from the Liberal, New Democrat, Green, and Bloc Quebecois MPs. Many Conservative Party (CPC) MPs voted against the bill, including former party leader...

...Renacci has increasingly sought to draw comparisons of the leadership decisions of DeWine and New York’s Cuomo, and he has pledged to “Put Ohio First.” The campaign statement added, “DeWine has a history of modeling his leadership after Andrew Cuomo, trafficking New York style politics and corruption into Ohio. Tax increases, unnecessary shut downs, rampant fraud and corruption, and pay-for-play scandals will be DeWine’s legacy as governor.” The 30-second clip shows footage of violent protestors looting and destroying buildings during the course of riots in summer of 2020. Further, it compares the language of DeWine and Cuomo. DeWine says only...

Georgia police officer dead after being dragged by speeding motorist he shot, killed A Georgia police officer and a motorist he pulled over for speeding late Wednesday died after the driver dragged the officer while attempting to escape — and was then shot by the officer. The exact sequence of events that took the lives of 25-year-old Holly Springs Police Officer Joe Burson and 29-year-old Ansy Dolce remains under investigation. However, Holly Springs Police Chief Tommy Keheley told reporters Thursday that investigators believe Burson shot Dolce while being dragged by the vehicle. Both men were pronounced dead at local hospitals...

An Amazon warehouse in Scotland reportedly destroys millions of unsold products every year, according to undercover footage and anonymous employees at the facility. British news outlet ITV obtained footage from inside the e-commerce giant’s Dunfermline facility that showed laptops, books, jewelry and other still-packaged products being sorted into boxes marked “destroy.” The items, some of which were new and others which were returned, were then sorted into trucks and taken to recycling centers or landfills, according to the outlet. “From a Friday to a Friday our target was to generally destroy 130,000 items a week,” a former employee at the...

Orbán with György Jakubinyi, archbishop of Alba Iulia In a Sunday interview with Croatian Catholic weekly Glas Koncila, the Christian politician, who has been disparaged by Pope Francis as a populist and nationalist, dismissed reports of Francis' refusal to meet him on the Hungary papal visit as "false news."

Actor Chadwick Boseman died last year at the age of 43 from stage 4 colon cancer. The “Black Panther” star represents a troubling trend of men younger than 49 who are at an unusually high risk of dying from colorectal cancer. According to a study published in the American Journal of Cancer Research, despite the overall reduction in the cases of colorectal cancer in America, there are geographical “hot spots” where cases of this potentially deadly cancer are soaring. June is National Men’s Health Month and it is critical that American men pay attention to their risk factors for developing...

A substantive majority of Americans said they are “somewhat concerned” about inflation and about four out of 10 people believe the government might not be able to rein it in, according to a new poll released Tuesday. Eighty-five percent said they are “somewhat concerned” and of that group, 45 percent said they’re “very concerned” about inflation, The Hill reported on Tuesday, citing a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll. The Labor Department’s consumer price index showed that inflation has risen 5 percent since last May — a 13-year high — as companies struggle to keep up with a surge in demand following the...

I gave blood a couples of months ago. The Red Cross tests your blood for CCP-1984 antibodies. I tested positive. My wife and I had the worst plague of our lives in January of last year (2020). Took weeks to clear out our lungs. She works in the economics department of the local university with almost all Chinese grad students who had just returned from China. I am sure she got it from them and brought it home. We survived it without even seeing a doctor or taking any medications. We survived it just fine, and we are not spring...

TWELFTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MATTHEW 7:6, 12–14 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus warns, "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many." A question that people have been asking from time immemorial is this: "Will only a few people be saved?" Heaven, hell, salvation, damnation—who will be in and who will be out? How should we approach this issue? The doctrine concerning hell is a corollary of two more fundamental truths—namely, that God is love and that we are free. Love (willing...

Reporter Secretly Records Boss Telling Her to Censor Stories

One hundred and forty-six people in Halifax, Nova Scotia wait on a list to borrow a library book. A question hangs over them: Will activists let them read it? The book is mine — Irreversible Damage — and it is an investigation of a medical mystery: Why is the number of teenage girls requesting (and obtaining) gender reassignment skyrocketing in the United States, Canada, Scandinavia and Europe? In Great Britain, it’s up 4,400% over the last decade. Though it shouldn’t be, this has become a highly controversial area of inquiry. The book is an exploration of why so many girls...

TOKYO -- Two Americans charged with helping former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn flee Japan while he was facing accusations of financial misconduct agreed Monday that they took part in a scheme for him to escape the country. Statements by Michael Taylor and his son, Peter, on the opening day of their trial in Tokyo suggest the pair don’t plan to fight charges of assisting a criminal. That carries a possible penalty of up to three years in prison.

It was a moment to behold. The reporter was of magnificent stock. Her name is Nancy Cordes and she was ready to face off with Jen Psaki over the practice of throwing around patronage jobs to the kids of Joe Biden’s pals. “Can you describe what safeguards the administration has in place to make sure that the children of top officials don’t get preferential treatment in hiring?” It was perfectly executed and surely Psaki would have to spill the beans and admit defeat. But the red headed daughter of Connecticut is nothing if not audacious and pushed a fleet of...
