Friday, FNC host Laura Ingraham opened her program by warning those expecting reparations based on promises from Democratic politicians will suffer the same disappointment as those who expected student loan forgiveness. Earlier in the day, the high court ruled against President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program.

Though two circuit courts have ruled that Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations compelling states to fund genital mutilation surgeries by health care providers are illegal, Secretary Xavier Becerra warned that he will withhold Medicaid funds from states that refuse to fund these surgeries. "President Biden has made it clear that he wants every transgender to have access to this life-saving therapy," Becerra said. "His will trumps objections to using public funds to perform what some are calling 'elective surgery.' I say if you're a female born with a penis instead of a vagina you need surgery to correct that...

Billed as a major tool in the fight against “climate change,” so-called “cultivated chicken” is grown in a lab. The costly process involves extracting stem cells and giving them a nutrient-dense bath in vitamins, minerals, salt, and even soy inside a steel bioreactor. An average batch takes about two weeks to harvest.

"They're tapping into the American food structure and this country. And we should be looking at that as food security, people," National Black Farmers Association President John Boyd Jr. said on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" Tuesday, "because they're tapping into American farms and tapping into the hog industry, all of these industries that China is quietly taking over here in the United States." Farmers have voiced their concerns for more than two years over Chinese-owned companies purchasing large swaths of rural farmland in states like Oklahoma, Minnesota, North Carolina and Virginia. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data from 2021 indicates...

AbstractIntroductionIn 2011, we published a study that found a counterintuitive, positive correlation, r = 0.70 (p < .0001), demonstrating that among the most highly developed nations (n = 30), those that require more vaccines for their infants tend to have higher infant mortality rates (IMRs). Critics of the paper recently claimed that this finding is due to "inappropriate data exclusion," i.e., the failure to analyze the "full dataset" of all 185 nations.ObjectiveIn the present study, we examine various claims postulated by these critics and the validity of their scientific methods, and we perform several investigations to assess the reliability of...

Union construction jobs are not just good jobs, they are great jobs. They have a relatively low entry barrier and offer world-class training, great pay, and benefits that allow members to retire with dignity. However, what’s often overlooked is union construction’s racism, and that those great jobs, particularly leadership positions, are designed to remain filled by white men. Thanks to construction workers, activists, and journalists, there are countless documented examples of the widespread racism that Black people face in interactions with construction unions. From being called racist names to being administered tests designed to ensure their failure, a gamut of...

The Colorado web designer who wanted to refuse LGBTQ customers and just won her case at the Supreme Court had claimed in court filings that a man inquired about her services for his same-sex wedding. But the man says he never reached out to Lorie Smith, the web designer who argued at the Supreme Court that she shouldn’t be forced to create same-sex wedding websites because of her religious objections. In fact, the man says he’s straight and married to a woman.

.... Russia’s continued strike campaign in 2023 has made one thing quite clear: it is unrealistic to expect Russia to ever “run out” of missiles. Despite sanctions and export controls, it appears likely that Russia will be able to produce or otherwise acquire the long-range strike capacity necessary to inflict significant damage upon Ukraine’s people, economy, and military. Ukraine’s air defenses have performed remarkably well under challenging circumstances. Nevertheless, the Russian military has continued trying to identify gaps and seams to exploit to gain an advantage. There is no one-off fix for this problem. Sanctions and export controls can, at...

Over 1,500 “global leaders” from 90 countries met in North China’s Tianjin municipality for the World Economic Forum’s Summer Davos. Chinese Premier Li Qiang opened the conference by discussing China’s economic success amid modernization. China’s growth is expected to accelerate during the second half of the year. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) foresees China alone contributing to one-growth of global GDP in 2023. Klaus Schwab began by praising the CCP for achieving complete control over the population through COVID lockdowns and social credit scores. China implemented one of the strictest lockdown policies in the world. People were barricaded in their...

University of Chicago professor Casey Mulligan recently compared regulatory records from the Obama Administration to now. Mulligan found that Biden has imposed the most costly regulations in recent history at a rate of $617 billion annually. Her research concluded that the average American household now pays $9,600 more under Biden. This uptick in spending found in this study is solely due to regulation. If we were to factor in inflation, which Biden poured gasoline on (no pun intended), the figure would be even higher. The Build Back Better agenda comes at a cost to the people. Auto fuel and emissions...

Just Stop Oil have stormed London's historic Pride parade, after issuing threats to the LGBTQ+ event earlier this week. Seven eco-zealots have been arrested after nine blocked the capital's Pride March today amidst calls for the event to condemn new oil, gas and coal. At around 1:25pm, the group sat down in front of the festival's Coca-Cola float, branding it 'the world's worst plastic polluter, accused of numerous human rights abuses'. Black and pink paint was also sprayed across the road as the protestors slammed Pride for failing 'to address and take responsibility' for its damaging relationships. Parade participants and...
