There seems to be a Greek chorus of liberal whining: “I’m disappointed by him.” “I expected more.” “I thought he would be different.” Earlier this week, singer Jackson Browne, a vocal 2008 Obama supporter, lamented that President Obama is “…just as beholden to the people who put him in office as any of the Republicans would be

The new documents were...

Pueblo walked off the job Sunday morning after a temporary contract extension ended with no agreement. Employees at the Safeway distribution center in Denver also joined the strike. Understaffed stores, changes to health benefits and low wage increases are top issues for the union, as has been the case since the first contracts began expiring in January. The union also accuses managers from Albertsons-owned Safeway and its rivals at Kroger-owned King Soopers of unfairly teaming up to negotiate. That’s threatening to take benefits away from its Safeway members, said Kim Cordova, president of United Food and Commercial Workers International Union...

One of the most powerful figures at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has admitted she refused the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine while pregnant—even as her agency promoted it as “safe and effective” for all pregnant women. Dr Sara Brenner’s explosive disclosure, made on 15 May 2025 at the MAHA Institute Round Table in Washington, DC, is as revealing as it is troubling.
