Shares of Kenvue fell more than 10% on Friday after a report that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will likely link autism to the use of the company’s pain medication Tylenol in pregnant women. HHS will release the report that could draw that link this month, the Wall Street Journal reported. Kenvue said it has “continuously evaluated the science and [continues] to believe there is no causal link” between the use of acetaminophen, the generic name for Tylenol, during pregnancy and autism. Shares of Kenvue fell more than 10% on Friday after a report that Health...

Credit: Britannica | The Daily Galaxy --Great Discoveries Channel A centuries-old manuscript once thought to be the work of William Shakespeare’s father has been reattributed to his sister, Joan Shakespeare Hart, in a new peer-reviewed study published in Shakespeare Quarterly.

The research, led by Dr....

A Left-wing Muslim MP who has repeatedly challenged Sir Keir Starmer over Gaza is a contender to become his new deputy after Angela Rayner resigned over the Telegraph’s investigation into her tax affairs. Rosena Allin-Khan, who rebelled against Sir Keir’s welfare reforms earlier this year, has emerged as the potential standard bearer for the Left in a deputy leadership election that is being described as a referendum on the Prime Minister’s leadership. Labour’s deputy leaders are directly elected by party members, meaning the deep divides within Labour will be exposed to full public view as the Left tries to impose...

“When I think about the trip today, I wouldn’t do it again – it was so dangerous. What I remember is that many people died, they drowned … there were too many people on that boat.” Anas Modamani, who as a teenager fled Syria’s brutal civil war for the safety of Europe in 2015, is one of many who ended up in Germany, where he still lives and now holds a passport. Sitting in a Syrian cafe in Neukölln, a culturally diverse district of the German capital, Modamani is smiling and well-groomed. He works in IT and in his own...

A Los Angeles County judge who threatened to shoot defendants, attorneys and others or have them shot by bailiffs for behaving badly in his courtroom has been publicly admonished by a state judicial watchdog. Superior Court Judge Enrique Monguia engaged in a pattern of inappropriate comments from 2019 through 2024, the California Commission on Judicial Performance said in a 9-0 ruling last week. “The commission found that Judge Monguia’s remarks about shooting people, or having people shot in the courtroom, constituted an abuse of authority, fostered an atmosphere of intimidation in the courtroom, and, even if made in jest, were...

CBS News is giving up the power it has to hold “Face the Nation” interviewees to account. The Paramount Skydance news unit said Friday it would cease editing taped interviews with newsmakers who appear on “Face the Nation” following complaints from the Trump administration over an appearance on the show earlier this week when U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made a number of false or unproven statements about Kilmar Abergo Garcia, the Salvadoran man who was deported despite his having protected legal status in the United States. CBS News offered just a portion of the overall interview with Noem...

Two 17-year-old suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, federal prosecutors announced Friday. Authorities say a third juvenile suspect remains at large. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said the two teens, identified as Jalen Lucas and Kelvin Thomas Jr., will be charged as adults with first-degree murder in the June 30 slaying. Prosecutors indicated that additional charges could follow once the case is presented to a grand jury. Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, was gunned down late at night in Washington when stray bullets struck him multiple times, according to investigators. He...

ABC News reported that investigators have stated the shooting was targeted, but Tarpinian-Jachym was not the intended target. Two 17-year-olds were arrested for the...

CBS News has just admitted that a recent interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was deceptively edited. The network will now make changes to the “Face the Nation” program to prevent such incidents from happening again. The incident stemmed from an interview aired last Sunday featuring Noem in which she was cut off while answering a question concerning why DHS was going after an illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member and human trafficker, Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Program host Ed O’Keefe asked Noem why they weren’t making Garcia stand trial and face charges here in the United States and...

Not sure how much, if any truth there is to the rumors flying around social media that the DOJ was considering methods by which certain groups of people could be disarmed because of their gender identity. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses several aspects of this including the political hypocrisy of both sides of the argument, the effectiveness of this plan and if it is even legally possible. (Hint: No). So learn more today and arm yourself with education today.

Even now, after all the progress that has been rammed down our throats, men who identify as women face the oppression of being “misgendered” — i.e., of being regarded as what they objectively are: (video on link, try not to laugh) They still expect us to feel sorry for them. That is the main weapon they wield against us to facilitate their relentless bullying.

PYONGYANG — A group of oppressed people arrived in a new land in hopes of making a better life for themselves, as a ship filled with British refugees traveled to North Korea in search of freedom. Witnesses said that the poor, huddled mass of humanity emerged from the vessel battered and downtrodden, hoping to experience a new life of liberty by migrating to the less-totalitarian regime of Kim Jong Un's North Korea. "I already feel less oppressed," said Reginald Hardington, a native of London who set off for North Korea to create a better life for his family. "From what...

PRINCETON, Texas — Princeton is growing at the fastest rate in the nation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But just south of this Collin County city's limits, along a peninsula of Lavon Lake, lies a master-planned community of single-family homes that are, well, let's say not very "Texas sized," but becoming more popular. Miami-based builder Lennar announced in a press release it is bringing tiny homes – each at less than 700 square feet – to North Texas. The homes are available in a community called Tillage Farms. The two-story homes will start in the mid $100,000s, Lennar said....

Charlie Sheen is done censoring his truth. The former “Two and a Half Men” star, 60, revealed he’s had sex with men, which began when he started smoking crack. “I flipped the menu over,” Sheen reveals in his upcoming Netflix documentary, “aka Charlie Sheen,” out on Sept. 10, about his same-sex bedroom experience. The actor revealed he’s done hiding his sexual encounters with men. Sheen revealed that his first encounter happened while he was using heavy narcotics, like crack, and he struggled to come to terms with his actions. These days, he’s owning it.

It’s been two topsy-turvy years for Brownstone Shared Housing since the startup opened up its tiny bed “pods” for rent in San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood — without the necessary permits — in 2023. The startup’s 26 to 30-pod complex in Mint Plaza has withstood complaints from city officials, outlasted the threat of debilitating fees and, recently, avoided an eviction threat. All the while, Brownstone has rented beds to a rotating cast of tech startup founders, immigrants and other new-to-the-city characters willing to stay in barely private, 4-foot-tall boxes for $700 a month. And now, CEO James Stallworth is ramping up...

President Trump called for an “end” to federal inquiries about Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, saying that the Department of Justice had “done its job” even as officials and lawmakers are still investigating the government’s case against the deceased sex trafficker. “The confused and badly failing Democrat Party did nothing about Jeffrey Epstein while he was alive except befriend him, socialize with him, travel to his Island, and take his money!” Trump erupted in a lengthy Truth Social post. “They knew everything there was to know about Epstein, but now, years after his death, they, out of nowhere, are seeming to...
