In this episode of The John-Henry Westen Show, I speak with Dr. Francis Christian, a former surgeon and clinical professor at the University of Saskatchewan. We discuss what led the university to fire him from positions he himself started, as well as the growing “dystopian tyranny” by world governments, the media and tech companies, and Big Pharma. Dr. Christian was fired by the Saskatchewan Health Authority after he expressed medical concerns over vaccinating children and in favor of informed consent for parents. In our conversation, he points out how he’s anything but “an anti-vaccine physician,” but was “canceled” regardless. He...

WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Texas on Friday declared illegal the federal program that has allowed nearly 800,000 young people brought to the U.S. illegally as children avoid deportation and remain in the country. U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, Texas, said the Obama administration failed to follow federal administrative rules in launching the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012. But he put the effect of most of his ruling on hold while the case is appealed.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona county election officials have identified fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud out of more than 3 million ballots cast in last year’s presidential election, undercutting former President Donald Trump’s claims of a stolen election as his allies continue a disputed ballot review in the state’s most populous county.

Miami-Dade County Commissioner Joe Martinez has tested positive for COVID-19, just days after fellow commissioner Jose "Pepe" Diaz also tested positive for the virus. In a Wednesday news release, county officials said Martinez, who had received the COVID-19 vaccine, began experiencing flu-like symptoms earlier this week and was in isolation...

The fatal shooting meant that the city had reached 300 killings more quickly in a single year than any since at least the 1970s. And it kept Philadelphia on pace to top not only last year’s 499 homicides, but also its all-time record of 500 slayings in a year, set in 1990. Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said in a statement that “the brazenness with which these assaults are carried out is appalling. The lack of regard for human life is affecting innocent bystanders and our children are being caught in the crossfire.”

Comedian Gabriel Iglesias has been forced to cancel an upcoming show after testing positive for COVID-19 — despite being fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. He announced the news via social media with a video titled, “Announcement I didn’t want to make on my bday.” “Unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID-19. I made sure that I got tested by two different types of tests and they both came back positive,” the comic shared Thursday on his 45th birthday.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki will throw the opening pitch Sunday for a game between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres. The announcement came Friday afternoon ahead of the DC team’s “William & Mary Day” that honors the press secretary’s Virginia alma mater. “On Sunday, July 18 against the San Diego Padres, the Nationals will host William & Mary Day,” the team said in a press release. “Ceremonial First Pitch will be thrown by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, a graduate of William & Mary.“ Press secretaries rarely receive the honor of throwing opening pitches, which...

A papal decree published by the Vatican on Friday bans the celebration of the Latin Mass in parish churches, where most Catholics worship, and says that local bishops who permit the practice in their dioceses must regulate the locations and times where the celebrations take place. Newly ordained priests who want to celebrate the old Mass will need the permission of their bishops and the Vatican.

I decided to start this article “backward,” that is, with a conclusion, which is this: Former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is irrelevant. So, then, why write this article? Because smug Mr. Smith dumped all over his then-network, abruptly walked out and left for “greener” (left-wing) pastures, and has only seen his ratings continue to swirl down the liberal toilet. Newsworthy? Don’t care. Stick the knife in and twist it? Hell, yeah. Oh, I almost forgot. Also, because, according to reports, Smith has been described as not only “a very difficult person to work for” — his “temper tantrums” have...

It's time for The Jesse Kelly Show!Jesse's show is now on over 200 radio stations across the nation, replacing Buck Sexton. Yes, we deeply miss Rush, but if you give Jesse a listen, you'll find him to be a very intelligent, refreshing, naturally funny truth teller.Jesse is a former Marine, husband and father of two young boys who lives in the Houston area. He's a self-deprecating historyphile with an infectious laugh. His time slot is later in the day, when many are getting off work and doing dinner, and if you can't listen live, his "leftover" podcasts are better than...

Things are not going well for the organizers of the Tokyo Olympics, and the situation continues to grow more complicated by the minute.First and foremost, there appear to be some very valid concerns that the games will be taking place amid a rise in COVID cases in Japan and despite warnings from local and global health officials on that subject. There will already be no spectators in place during the international gathering, but now there will be no hugging or shaking hands among the athletes also. Not that it affects me, I won’t be going (or watching). ...BMX freestyle rider...

We are just a couple months from the Recall Election in California, and many have considered reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner the frontrunner with the best chance to defeat Gavin Newsom. But the question is, does Jenner actually want to be governor? Caitlyn is in Australia right now filming Celebrity Big Brother as the state of California is heading back into lockdowns and trying to decide whether to recall Gavin Newsom. It’s being reported today that Caitlyn Jenner has left the campaign for Governor of California during the most critical time of the race to go film Celebrity Big Brother....

The shock, detected on Friday afternoon, is near a location where the United States Navy conducted tests last month. On June 18, the Navy reported that its aircraft, the USS Gerald R. Ford, successfully completed a scheduled explosive event on the U.S. east coast as part of Full Ship Shock Trials. That event also measured a magnitude 3.9 shock. At the time of the testing in June, the Navy said it would be conducting full ship shock trials through late summer. This is part of validating that the ship can withstand battle conditions, according to the Department of Defense. After...

Physarum polycephalum, which literally has no brain, might make us rethink this characterization. This blob-like lifeform can perform surprisingly complex calculations, such as solving mazes or exhibiting basic forms of memory. To learn more about how Physarum molds make smart decisions with no brain, researchers from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University and the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University tested their environmental awareness. The results revealed a “novel preference and sensing capability in the unicellular organism” in which the mold uses its body as “both a distributed sensor array and computational substrate,” according to a study published on Thursday...

Arizona Senate hearings on the Maricopa County Election Audit is devastating news to the Radical Left Democrats and the Biden Administration. While this, according to the Senate, is preliminary, with results being announced at a later date, it seems that 74,243 Mail-In Ballots were counted with “no clear record of them being sent.” There were 18,000 voters who were scrubbed from the voter rolls AFTER the election. They also revealed that the voting system was breached or hacked (by who?). Very big printer and ballot problems with different paper used, etc., and MUCH MORE. The irregularities revealed at the hearing...

A retired FBI counterintelligence agent with longtime expertise in signature analysis tells Just the News that Hunter Biden signed an April 2019 Delaware computer repair shop receipt, adding fresh evidence that a controversial laptop turned over to the bureau with eye-popping emails about Ukrainian and Chinese business deals belonged to the president's son. Retired Special Agent Wayne A. Barnes, a 29-year FBI veteran who mastered signature analysis while unmasking Soviet spies during the Cold War, says the "R.H. Biden" signature — short for Robert Hunter Biden — on the receipt issued in spring 2019 from John Paul Mac Issac's repair...

Chicago to dispatch mental health officials instead of cops on 911 calls In response to defund the police protests and the killing by cops of individuals suffering from mental health issues, the City of Chicago will now send out mental health experts with 911 calls instead of authorities. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the initiative is part of a two-step “alternative response” pilot program that will see Chicago focus more on public health aspect to responding to mental health emergency calls to 911.

President Biden on Friday accused Facebook of “killing people,” just after White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration is “in regular touch” with the platform to ensure correct “narratives” are promoted — elaborating on her Thursday admission that the White House is “flagging problematic posts” for the social media giant to censor. Biden was asked about his message for platforms like Facebook as he departed the White House on Friday afternoon for a weekend trip to Camp David. “They’re killing people. The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they’re killing people,” Biden said.
