A bill addressing law enforcements use of genetic genealogy DNA databases like GEDmatch and Ancestry failed to pass the Utah House of Representatives late last week amid concerns it was not specific enough to prevent police “fishing expeditions.” The bill would have been the third in the nation to specifically address the use of third-party genetic genealogy databases in police investigations. House Bill 340 “Forensic DNA Privacy Amendments” was sponsored by Rep. Steve Eliason (R-Sandy), and was presented during a House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee in mid-February with the support of Greg Miller, CEO of the Larry H....

Following days of Russia and China accusing the United States of having secret biological weapons projects in Ukraine and claiming to have found evidence of the projects, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that the world should be prepared if Russia uses its claims as an excuse to release a chemical or biological weapon of its own in Ukraine. "Now that Russia has made these false claims, and China has seemingly endorsed this propaganda, we should all be on the lookout for Russia to possibly use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, or to create a false flag...

MINNEAPOLIS — Last year, with the federal government making available huge new sums of money for programs to feed needy children during the pandemic, a nonprofit organization called Advance Youth Athletic Development set up what it described as an enormous child care operation in northeast Minneapolis that could prepare 5,000 dinners each weeknight. Based on the group’s claims, the State of Minnesota channeled $3.2 million of the federal food aid to the program. But on a subzero morning in January, the F.B.I. carried out a series of predawn raids around the region. It revealed a sprawling investigation into Advance Youth...

Hillary Clinton is making it clear she has no plans to run for the White House again, ruling out a possible rematch with former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Asked whether she would be open to running for president again, Clinton laughed it off, telling MSNBC's Morning Joe on Tuesday, "No, no, but I am certainly going to be active in supporting women running for office and other candidates who I think should be re-elected or elected—both women and men." There had been speculation that Clinton could potentially cast a presidential bid in 2024, after skipping the...

Former North Carolina governor Pat McCrory, who is seeking the Republican nomination in a U.S. Senate race, has launched a campaign ad accusing one of his primary rivals, Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.), of being too complimentary of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “As Ukrainians bled and died,” McCrory says in the video, “Congressman Budd excused their killer.” The ad then quotes Budd praising Putin as a “very intelligent actor” who had “strategic reasons” for invading Ukraine, including a desire to “protect his southern flank.” Budd said in a February interview with CBS17 TV in Raleigh that he thinks Putin is “evil”...

New York/Abu Dhabi (CNN Business)The oil market has been stretched incredibly thin, with few producers willing — or able — to replace Russian barrels banned by the United States and shunned by others. Enter the United Arab Emirates, which suggested it may be coming to the rescue. The UAE's ambassador to Washington, Yousef Al Otaiba, told CNN Wednesday that the country wants to increase oil production and will encourage the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cartel to ramp up supply. Otaiba's comments sent oil prices dropping like a rock Wednesday. US oil fell 12% to less than $109...

As COVID restrictions end around the country, and Democratic politicians pretend that something about the science has changed instead of their poll numbers being in the dirt, Americans must first demand: apologies.Here, I’ll even go first. I spent much of 2020 and 2021 writing again and again arguing for the opening of schools throughout the country. But in March 2020, I was one of the leading voices urging schools to close.It made no sense to me that my husband had stopped going into the office because of the mysterious new virus but my children continued to go to school.

The Pentagon has offered a conclusive rejection of a plan to transfer fighter jets from Poland to Ukraine to battle Russian forces there, saying the "high risk" move could have been interpreted as an escalation. After US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Polish counterpart earlier today, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby tells reporters that "we do not support the transfer of additional fighter aircraft to the Ukrainian Air Force at this time, and therefore have no desire to see them in our custody."...

The U.S. needs to boost oil production to replace banned Russian crude instead of possibly looking to Iran or Venezuela, Rep. Kevin McCarthy told CNBC Wednesday. "Why would you take the billions of dollars you provide to [Russian president Vladmir Putin] and just give it to another dictator?," the House GOP leader said. McCarthy also suggested the U.S. could and should become a top global supplier of oil.

NYT Reporter Caught Admitting: The Left Distorted Jan. 6Those of us who used to read the front page of the newspaper, back when it was a literal paper and not a lighted screen with type that moved around, remember what it was like to find interesting juxtapositions of the headlines that in themselves told a story. Maybe in the upper right, there would be a headline like “Scores Killed in Weekend Murder Rampage,” while off to the left, it would say “Drop in Tourism Mystifies City Leaders.”Politics in 2022: Read the HeadlinesI had a similar experience yesterday, scanning the news...

Self-anointed "fact-checkers” in the U.S. corporate press have spent two weeks mocking as disinformation and a false conspiracy theory the claim that Ukraine has biological weapons labs, either alone or with U.S. support. They never presented any evidence for their ruling — how could they possibly know? and how could they prove the negative? — but nonetheless they invoked their characteristically authoritative, above-it-all tone of self-assurance and self-arrogated right to decree the truth, definitively labelling such claims false. Claims that Ukraine currently maintains dangerous biological weapons labs came from Russia as well as China. The Chinese Foreign Ministry this month...
