Several former officials with the U.S. Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) took high-paying jobs with pharmaceutical companies after playing key roles in pushing those Big Pharma firms’ Covid shots through the regulation process. The “revolving door” was exposed during an investigation by the renowned peer-reviewed British Medical Journal (BMJ). The discovery is reminiscent of former FDA official Curtis Wright IV. Wright played a central role in the FDA’s approval of the dangerously addictive opioid OxyContin for Purdue Pharma in 1995. Shortly after, he left the FDA for a job at Purdue and a massive salary with the company. The actions...

Starship launched the next phase of their career in 1985 with the release of “We Built This City,” the first single from their album Knee Deep in the Hoopla.The band that began as Jefferson Airplane in 1965 in San Francisco had moved through a lot of changes, evolving into Jefferson Starship in the early ‘70s after a series of lineup shuffles. They would continue to work under that banner until 1984 when founding member Paul Kantner decided to depart following the release of Nuclear Furniture album.There had been a lot of internal conflict leading up to that point, with Kantner...

A week ago, two young ostensibly religious Jews broke into the historic Protestant cemetery on Mount Zion and vandalized dozens of gravestones, including pulling down several crosses. One of the desecrated headstones included one with a bust of the second Protestant bishop in Jerusalem, the Reverent Samuel Gobat. The perpetrators carried out this shameless destruction proudly wearing kippot and tzitit (ritual fringed garment). All this was caught on a security camera, which you can see part of below.

OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DISPATCHES. WASHINGTON Tuesday, Nov. 17. Mr. PAUL writes under date of November 16: "The Third Cavalry division under Brig.-Gen. CUSTER -- commanding during the absence of Col. KILPATRICK at Washington on a court-martial -- moved to the Rapidan yesterday morning to feel the enemy. The Second brigade, under Col. TOWN, of the First Michigan Cavalry, approached the river near Raccoon and Morton's Fords soon after daylight, and drove the enemy from their front line of rifle-pits on the opposite bank back to their entrenchments. A brisk skirmish with artillery was kept up at intervals for several hours...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis asked a judge on Friday to schedule the trial in the case against Donald Trump in Georgia for Aug. 5, which would temporarily sideline the former president and leading GOP presidential candidate from the campaign trail at the height of election season. Willis, who is prosecuting Trump and 18 co-defendants over allegations they illegally conspired to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, said in a court filing that her requested trial date "balances potential delays from other pending criminal trials with the Defendants’ speedy trial rights."

Sen. Mitt Romney and Sen. Joe Manchin’s bill to stabilize the national debt, which has more than doubled in the last decade, has been gaining bipartisan support in Congress. The Fiscal Stability Act aims to strengthen and stabilize the country’s fiscal health by establishing a commission to find solutions to decrease the national debt that currently exceeds $33.6 trillion. The legislation would require Congress to take an up or down vote on the proposed solutions, adding an extra layer of accountability. “Establishing our bipartisan fiscal commission will help balance our budgets, keep government spending lean and responsible, and protect and...

arget is under fire once again - this time for selling LGBTQ+ styled Christmas decorations. And conservatives are NOT having it. One of the new items on the chain's inventory is a 2023 nutcracker decoration which features the nutcracker in a jacket with a pride flag running down the middle, a pride flag hat, and a pride flag in his hand. I say “his” hand loosely, as the statue also has pink hair, eyeshadow, and feminine eyelashes. Perhaps he's a drag queen as well. Another new item this year is a Christmas snow globe with a rainbow heart in the...

ATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — In Louisiana, where there has been a Democratic governor for eight years and Donald Trump won the past two presidential elections, runoffs on Saturday will decide whether Republicans control all five of the Deep South state's top executive branch positions. The gubernatorial election was decided in October when Jeff Landry, a Republican backed by former President Trump, won outright and avoided a runoff. Voters will cast ballots this weekend to determine the winners of a slew of other races, including three vacant, statewide offices: attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer. The election will shape...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemActs 15The Council at Jerusalem 15 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. 3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been...

WASHINGTON — Israel attempted to use tapes of former US president Bill Clinton’s steamy conversations with intern Monica Lewinsky to leverage the release of Jonathan Pollard, a new book on the Clinton family’s political enterprises has claimed. In the book, titled “Clinton Inc: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine,” author Daniel Halper relies on on-the-record interviews with former officials together with a close analysis of documents termed “the Monica Files” to paint a salacious – and uncomplimentary – picture of one of the most prominent political families in the United States. Halper noted that “intelligence officials in the United...

Ukrainian forces say they have secured several positions on the Russian-occupied eastern bank of the Dnipro river, and their leaders have been keen to talk up their progress. The marines have spoken of gaining a foothold on "several bridgeheads" on the left bank, as they try to push the Russians back in a bid to protect civilians on the opposite side of the river from constant Russian shelling. ... The few hundred soldiers are outnumbered and surrounded in three directions, yet have managed to dig in for the best part of a month. This isn't the thousands needed to potentially...

When you can't make it clearer where you stand on the Hamas-Israel war. Old Joe Biden couldn’t make it clearer where he stands on the Hamas-Israel war if he screamed “Allahu akbar” and blew himself up in a crowd of Jews. The alleged president demonstrated, for anyone who was paying attention, which side he is really on in the Hamas-Israel conflict when he went over to Israel in late October and met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He took the opportunity to announce that he was giving $100 million to Gaza, which means, despite his denials, $100 million to...

From 2007 to the present (2023), there have been more fatal bear attacks in Japan than in the United States.

Senator Ted Cruz’s new book accurately describes how our nation’s government, in collusion with universities, media, and bureaucracies became a breeding ground for the mentality of central control. This book provides the methodology by which the left (communists, fascists, any central control through a government) infiltrates existing structures and institutions to effect change. By its nature, Marxism, and its spawn, communism, can’t create. They can only destroy the private economy through “wealth redistribution.” The philosophy of central control requires a strong government. President Woodrow Wilson knew this 100 years ago; he created the Administrative State with the intent of using...

Sales of electric vehicles in the US have plateaued even though sales of cars overall remain healthy - suggesting many buyers are in no mood to ditch gasoline models anytime soon. Over the last six months, overall car sales have been higher than they were for the same months in 2022 or 2021 - when demand for EVs was still increasing. But in 2023, EV sales during the same period have stalled at around the 100,000- a-month mark following a period of rapid growth. The reduced demand has seen inventories stock piled, with prices of EVs slashed over the last...

"And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. "And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! "For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother." ☰ Mark 3 1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him, whether he would...
