@JohnStossel I never thought I’d make a video debunking a TV series. But President Obama’s ignorant Netflix series, “The G Word," deserves debunking. If you don’t want to waste 3 hours watching Obama promote big government, watch this instead:

Lawmakers in New Jersey have introduced a bill that would prevent police from using newborn bloodspots for anything other than detecting disease. The bill, Bill A4642, is a direct response from lawmakers regarding a 2021 rape case. Last year, New Jersey State Police subpoenaed the New Jersey Department of Health in order to obtain the dried bloodspot card of a 9-year-old child. They then used genetic genealogy to identify the child’s father and arrest him for the rape of a 10-year-old girl in 1996 and a five-year-old girl in 2003. Subsequently, the Office of the Public Defender and the New...

The new commander of the Russian army in Ukraine, Sergei Surovikin, said on Tuesday that civilians were being “resettled” from the Russian-occupied southern city of Kherson, describing the military situation in Ukraine as “tense.” “The enemy continually attempts to attack the positions of Russian troops,” Surovikin said in his first televised interview since his appointment last week, adding that the situation was particularly difficult around the occupied southern city of Kherson. “Further actions regarding Kherson will depend on the developing military and tactical situation, which is not easy, and difficult decisions cannot be ruled out,” he said.

A senior US health official today admitted that controversial Covid manipulation research carried out in a laboratory in Boston was not authorized — despite being funded by taxpayer money. DailyMail.com exclusively revealed yesterday that a team from Boston University had developed a hybrid Covid virus — combining the Omicron and original Wuhan strains — which had an 80 per cent lethality rate. Public records indicate it was partly paid for using a grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the federal government's main research agencies. As part of any Government-funded research grants, teams...

A fire that damaged St. Patrick's Parish in Watsonville on Monday is believed to have been started by arson, according to the church. St. Patrick's Parish told their parishioners that they have video footage showing that the fire was arson. According to the church, the fire occurred in the wall between the piano and the organ. "It damaged two stations of the cross, one stained glass window, probably the organ console, and potentially the digital piano," the church said in its announcement to the public. In addition to the fire damage, the church has to deal with damage from firefighters...

Charles W. Duncan Jr., who got into the energy business as a young Texas roustabout digging pipeline ditches in 1947, and at the height of America’s oil-shortage crisis in 1979 became President Jimmy Carter’s secretary of energy, died on Tuesday at his home in Houston. He was 96. His son, Charles W. Duncan III, said the cause was complications of a recent fall. Mr. Duncan was the scion of a Houston family that made a fortune in coffee. He turned the brand, Duncan Coffee, into a rival of Maxwell House before it was acquired by the Coca-Cola Company. He became...

The mother of George Floyd’s daughter has reportedly announced a $250 million lawsuit against Kanye West, claiming the billionaire rapper and fashion mogul’s recent comments in which he seemed to attribute Floyd’s death to fentanyl and not police brutality have “retraumatized” her daughter. Roxie Washington’s lawyers allege West’s comments constitute “harassment, misappropriation, defamation, and infliction of emotional distress,” according to a letter obtained by Yahoo Entertainment. It remains unclear how West’s remarks are defamatory since the dead cannot be defamed under the law. “The interests of the child are priority. George Floyd’s daughter is being retraumatized by Kanye West’s comments...

A Georgia college student died instantly when he walked into the still-spinning propeller of a small airplane he had rented for a dinner date, officials said. Georgia Southern University sophomore Sani Aliyu, 21, was hit in the head twice at Statesboro-Bulloch County Airport on Sunday night after he got off a plane piloted by two friends who had taken him and a woman to nearby Savannah, according to officials and reports. “They flew to Savannah to go on a date, flew back, landed at the Statesboro Airport, and the young lady got off the plane, and he got off the...

MSNBC host Joy Reid spoke with commentator Dean Obeidallah about Biden turning up the heat in his rhetoric about MAGA Republicans in an early September broadcast. Liberal MSNBC hosts and pundits worried about potential Democratic losses in the upcoming midterm elections, took to Twitter this week to stoke fears of "fascism" if voters supported Republican Party candidates. The liberal anchors were largely reacting to a New York Times poll that found independent voters were turning to the GOP over concerns about the economy. In a melodramatic tweet, MSNBC's Joy Reid bashed anyone who voted Republican as choosing "literal fascism." "It's...

It’s been a real “well, shit” few days for Democrats, for which one could either blame the New York Times or the underlying reality on which the New York Times reports. On Monday, the Times’ Upshot section released a new poll in which Republicans led Democrats by just over three points when respondents were asked which party’s candidate they supported in their district—a gain of about four points for the GOP in the last month on the measure. It was the latest such “generic ballot” question on which Republicans have made gains over that time, and the party has closed...

Florida International University will launch the technology to the International Space Station this fall, although the institution hasn't specified exactly when(opens in new tab) or upon what spacecraft. A test sample will be mounted outside the orbiting facility for at least six months, to assess how well it performs in real life. The properties of the coating have not been publicly released, presumably because the innovation has not yet been patented nor proven. But if the tech performs well in low Earth orbit, there's promise for protecting structures that would be built on the moon for NASA's Artemis program, the...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said that while the infrastructure legislation, the semiconductor legislation, and the Inflation Reduction Act that Democrats and President Joe Biden have passed are all pieces of “great” policy, all of these pieces of legislation “are taking a while to roll in where people actually feel it.”

We all know how tiring a wedding can be, especially for a bride. Brides generally have to wake up early in the morning, check the preparations, get ready for the wedding ceremony, and so much more. Amid this, many brides stay hungry for hours. But, when they finally get to have something, many brides like to fill their stomachs so they can energise for further ceremonies. Recently, a video of a bride devouring a pizza has been doing rounds on the internet. In the video, the bride is dressed in an embellished pink coloured lehnga and jewellery. As she is...

Liberal media outlets are rallying around Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman after an NBC News reporter said he had difficulty understanding their conversation during a sit-down interview. On Monday, The Atlantic’s Elaine Godfrey wrote that despite his "relatively privileged upbringing," Fetterman has long been recognized as a "consummate everyman" and a straight talker. Speaking with Fetterman supporters during the campaign trail, Godfrey reported that supporters of the stroke survivor appeared unfazed by the candidate’s recent health challenges, and that he has now become "more relatable than ever." "Which is to say that Fetterman’s just-like-us appeal before his stroke may...

Francis names pro-abortion atheist as member of Pontifical Academy for Life A nightmare that has no end: that is the sick pontificate through which we are suffering. The Pontifical Academy for Life was one of the very few positive post-conciliar creations. Unsurprisingly, it was born of the mind of Dr. Jerôme Lejeune, one of the greatest pro-life heroes, who suggested it to John Paul II and was named its first president.Since the advent of Francis, the new Pontifical Academy for Life has become a hotbed of dissent from Catholic moral teaching: from contraception to homosexuality to abortion, and other...
