President Trump’s former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is on a glide path to becoming the next Arkansas governor, following in the steps of her father, Mike Huckabee. Speculation had long swirled when she left the White House in 2019 that she was set to launch her own political career. After a stop-over on Fox News as a contributor, she did officially announce in late January 2021. Since then, she’s broken Arkansas fundraising records, bringing in $12.8 million over the past year and enters the election year with $7 million in the bank. Not only does she, naturally, have Trump’s...

Long-time readers of Earth Clinic have probably read a post or two from KT, a strong believer in being proactive about health. KT has written extensively on Earth Clinic about the link between Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and the brain because of the devastating impact MSG has had on her own body from consuming small amounts of MSG found in supplement capsules made of gelatin. This article explains exactly what MSG is, the surprisingly common foods that contain it (like mayonnaise), MSG sensitivity and side effects, and just how easy it is for you to consume it without ever knowing it....

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) accused Israel of “war crimes” shortly after visiting Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial, prompting then-U.S. Ambassador David Friedman to walk out of a meeting with her in 2018. The story is told in Friedman’s new memoir. Jayapal and several other Democrats had been touring Israel with a group sponsored by J Street, a George Soros-backed left-wing organization that opposes many pro-Israeli policies. Jayapal went to Yad Vashem, a memorial where visiting heads of state and dignitaries pay their respects to the victims of the Holocaust. The memorial is renowned both for the quality of its historical...

Senate Republicans suggested Thursday that Sarah Bloom Raskin — President Joe Biden’s nominee for the top bank supervisory post at the Federal Reserve — used her status as a former government official in 2017 to help a company whose board she sat on get special access to the Fed’s payments system. Raskin repeatedly refused to answer questions from Wyoming Republican Cynthia Lummis about whether she called the Kansas City Regional Federal Reserve on behalf of that company, Reserve Trust, after joining its board. Lummis said Raskin, who spoke before the Senate Banking Committee, did make such a call.[scrolling to the...

MUST-SEE show about how to go after school districts over mask mandates through their bonds. Apparently public servants, school districts are supposed to be bonded (Who lnew?), and they can be sued through those bonds.

"Brian Flores is suing the National Football League and the only question I have is 'What took so long?' I'm not referring specifically to Flores' lawsuit, but to making public the racism inherent in the NFL like a vestigial limb."

The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office officially charged real-estate agent Willy Suarez Maceo with several murders Friday, labeling him a serial killer.

Authorities raided the Michigan home of a top U.S. Homeland Security Investigations official and seized several items from the residence, a neighbor said Tuesday. The raid occurred last Friday at the Royal Oak, Michigan, house of Vance Callender, HSI special agent in charge at the agency’s Detroit office, who has worked in federal law enforcement for 26 years. Callender, 49, was appointed the top HSI agent in Michigan and Ohio in January 2020. HSI is a division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security. The agents supervised by Callender enforce immigration and customs...

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told Sean Hannity that the government's "dirty little secret," especially when it comes to coronavirus mandates, is about "submission" and "collectivism" Friday on "Hannity." SEN. RAND PAUL: You know, I think the dirty little secret is it's always been more about submission. It's always been more about collectivism. It's been about growing government power over your lives because the science has been clear for a long time on masks for children. Sweden didn't have their school kids wear masks at all. Not one child died. The incidence of the disease and the teachers did not rise,...

Critics say amendment would leave workers vulnerable to union intimidation tactics.. .... House Democrats on Tuesday tucked an amendment into a bill aimed at helping American businesses compete with China that would bolster unionization efforts at manufacturers that receive government grants. The amendment, proposed by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D., Texas), would require private manufacturers to have a unionized workforce to receive grants through the America COMPETES Act. A majority of workers at each manufacturer would be required to sign on to a petition to certify unionization to be eligible. This practice—known as "card check union organizing"—forces employees to publicly...

Reflections on the anniversary of the first Electoral College balloting... On February 4, 1789, the Electoral College met and their votes were tallied, and it was unanimous. All 69 electors (representing the ten states that participated in that first presidential election) named George Washington as their first choice. General Washington was therefore first and only President of the United States who could be said to have been elected unanimously. It makes sense. The General had served his home state of Virginia for twenty years as a state legislator, including national service at the end of that period as one of...

The U.S. declared last year that the actions against Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region of China as genocide. But according to ESPN’s J. A. Adande, committing genocide against Uyghurs is no worse than red states requiring voter ID. This moron actually said this on Friday’s Around the Horn. Adande said Americans should not question what these modern-day Nazis are doing to Uyghurs. This creep is comparing voter ID to genocide, slave labor, concentration camps, forced abortions and forced sterilizations. ESPN should fire this guy not for his incendiary comments, but for being this dumb on national television. Keep in...

A FARMER who flipped a car off his land with a forklift has been cleared after arguing he was "defending" his castle. Robert Hooper, 57, was captured using the machine to launch the £16,000 Vauxhall Corsa at his farm in Newbiggin-in-Teesdale, County Durham. Passenger Charlie Burns, 21, who had downed up to seven bottles of beer, was knocked to the ground by the tractor's lifting forks. But Hooper insisted: "I felt threatened and an Englishman's home is his castle, and my castle starts at that front gate." The hill farmer has now been cleared of dangerous driving and criminal damage....

One chilly January morning, Sacramento County student Kinsey decided to walk into school without a face mask. She would later say the simple act took “all the courage [she] had” in the face of the state’s indoor mask mandate for schools. Kinsey, a high school junior at Bella Vista High School, said she used to love school, but has experienced growing feelings of isolation and anxiety due to the masks, as well as growing feelings of frustration toward state and school officials who insist on the mandate despite reports that children have the lowest rates of COVID-19 transmission. After being...

Monosodium glutamate is deeply misunderstood, experts reveal.Few ingredients inspire as much fear as MSG, or monosodium glutamate. While an overtly chemical name and a similarity in appearance to salt certainly don’t help its case, the food additive is especially reviled because some people believe that consuming it causes a slew of symptoms, from headache to palpitations to numbness. But is MSG actually bad for you? Monosodium glutamate has a terrible rap due to decades of anecdotal reports and xenophobia—but it’s probably nowhere near as detrimental to your health as you think. Here’s everything you need to know about the misunderstood...
