Democrat Joe Biden lied ahead of the 2020 Presidential election when he said he had not spoken to his son about the corrupt business deals that his son was involved with- which included corrupted business dealings with top officials with the Chinese Community Party (CCP). Now, in a voicemail left on Hunter’s iPhone, the evidence has come from POTUS’ own mouth that he has been lying to the American people. The New York Post reported on Monday that Biden was sticking to his story:“White House press secretary Jen Psaki said April 22, 2022- that President Biden still maintains he never...

During the recent SCOTUS decision concerning Roe v Wade, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a solo concurring opinion in which he argued that the Supreme Court should also reconsider rulings on contraception, same-sex relationships, and marriage. On Friday, Thomas wrote the court “correctly holds that there is no constitutional right to abortion. Respondents invoke one source for that right: the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee that no State shall ‘deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” He issued a separate opinion, he explained, “to emphasize a second, more fundamental reason why there is no abortion guarantee lurking...

WIMBLEDON, England — Novak Djokovic knows that, as things stand now, Wimbledon will be his last Grand Slam tournament of 2022, because he will not be able to play in the U.S. Open — he has not received any COVID-19 shots and can’t enter the United States as an unvaccinated foreigner. “That,” the 35-year-old from Serbia said Saturday at the All England Club, “is an extra motivation to do well here.” Djokovic began this season tied with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer at 20 major championships, then the record for a man. But Djokovic’s decision not to get vaccinated led...

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel on Monday eased its regulations on abortion access in what the country’s health minister said was a response to last week's “sad” U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. The new rules, approved by a parliamentary committee, grant women access to abortion pills through the country’s universal health system and remove a longstanding requirement that women appear physically before a special committee before they are permitted to terminate a pregnancy. The decision came after the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday stripped away women’s constitutional protections for abortion, a fundamental and deeply personal change for Americans’...

Joe Biden inadvertently financed his son Hunter’s dalliances with a Russia-linked escort ring, according to a report Monday. President Biden wired his 52-year-old son $100,000 to help him pay bills from December 2018 through January 2019, the Washington Examiner reported, citing records from a laptop Hunter Biden left behind at a computer repair shop in Delaware. Hunter Biden, meanwhile, had spent more than $30,000 on sex workers between November 2018 and March 2019, records show — including many linked to Russia-based email addresses and connected to an “exclusive model agency” called UberGFE, the outlet reported. Joe Biden wired Hunter $5,000...

California voters will decide in November whether to guarantee the right to an abortion in their state constitution, a question sure to boost turnout on both sides of the debate during a pivotal midterm election year as Democrats try to keep control of Congress after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The court’s ruling on Friday lets states decide for themselves whether to allow abortion. California is controlled by Democrats who support abortion rights, so access to the procedure won’t be threatened anytime soon. But the legal right to an abortion in California is based upon the “right...

People who suffer from ischaemic strokes with no previously diagnosed risk factors have been found to have underlying conditions in the majority of cases, a new study presented today has shown. Overall, the study identified 67.7% of stroke patients with previously undiagnosed major risk factors (UMRF) were found to have one major risk factor.

The second most common risk factor was high blood pressure (23.7% of patients), and one in 10 (10.2% of patients)...

Timothy Hysom, the chief of staff to Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Jake Auchincloss was caught on police surveillance video defacing posters outside the office of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga). The U.S. attorney's office in Washington declined a Capitol Police request to issue an arrest warrant and charge Hysom for the crime, calling it "a gray area. Maybe if the perp had been an ordinary person it would be different, but an aide to a member of Congress shares a bit of the sovereign immunity granted to members of the government." Greene is has decided to seek a retraining order against...

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote Friday that the high court should reconsider rulings on contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage in a solo concurring opinion released Friday that struck down Roe v. Wade.The Republican-appointed justice argued that the Supreme Court should reconsider other cases that fall under prior due process precedents.“I write separately to emphasize a second, more fundamental reason why there is no abortion guarantee lurking in the Due Process Clause,” Thomas wrote. “Considerable historical evidence indicates that ‘due process of law’ merely required executive and judicial actors to comply with legislative enactments and the common law when...

In September 2015, Monica was diagnosed with breast cancer, which was already in the middle stage.

In fact, there is another decisive...

About 23 million Californians will be eligible to receive $1,050 checks under a new inflation relief package, the governor announced June 26. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) agreed to allocate $17 billion from the state’s budget toward inflation relief.

A judge in Louisiana temporarily blocked three state laws that would ban virtually all abortions on Monday. The abortion bans were set to take effect if the Supreme Court ever overturned Roe v. Wade, which it did on Friday. Several states across the country have enacted similar laws, known as "trigger laws." Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Robin Giarrusso issued the temporary block shortly after abortion providers in the state filed a lawsuit, according to the order. Abortion groups, represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights, argue the abortion restrictions violate providers' due process rights and "lack constitutionally required...

While Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, a Republican, has led the fight in limiting abortion rights in the state, his son and daughter-in-law feel differently -- posting publicly on Facebook that they believe abortion should remain a woman’s choice. On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade -- which had generally offered women nationwide the right to an abortion. Within an hour of the high court’s decision, Yost’s office filed paperwork in federal court, seeking to limit abortion rights to around six weeks. Since 2019, U.S. District Court Judge Michael R. Barrett had blocked the state’s “heartbeat” law...
