At a campaign rally in Iowa, President Donald Trump cited an unsubstantiated news report to revive a widely debunked false narrative about Joe Biden’s work in Ukraine on behalf of the Obama administration. As we have reported more than once last year, Biden traveled to Kyiv as vice president and warned Ukraine’s then-president, Petro Poroshenko, that the U.S. would withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees until Ukraine removed its prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, who was widely viewed as corrupt. At the time, the international community and anti-corruption advocates in Ukraine were also calling for Shokin to be removed from office...

Patients in hospital for non-heart related conditions may be unnecessarily receiving blood pressure medication that has no benefit and could instead be harmful in the short term, a new review has found. Led by pharmacologist Professor Arduino Mangoni, the article highlights that while identifying and treating high blood pressure in the community is of vital importance, it's likely that in-hospital elevations in blood pressure are relatively common and might not reflect poorly controlled blood pressure before admission. "The measurement of blood pressure in hospital patients significantly differs from the best practice recommended for primary care and outpatients," says Professor Mangoni,...

Since former President Donald Trump launched his campaign in 2016, the FBI has been involved in a series of shady, politicized acts that seem to benefit the Democratic Party. Now, Congress might have decided to rein in the rogue agency at last. On November 30, Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray, asking for details of the Bureau’s policies for recruiting and using “Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHS).” Jordan pointed out, “The FBI has had a poor track record in recent years of relying on CHSs.” He cited the Bureau’s use of renegade former British...

As if California didn’t have enough problems, its failing justice system is flooding the state with predators. Thousands of convicted are being released from prison early. Many of the worst offenders have spent less than a year behind bars. A British newspaper has analyzed California’s offender database and found some horrifying statistics.

The same lenient sentences were handed to hundreds of...
