One radio host is giving lawmakers food for thought.

There’s a lot happening in the world right now, so let’s get the most pressing stuff out of the way and sorted: was the late Gong Show creator/host Chuck Barris really an assassin for the CIA? Barris claimed in his 1982 memoir Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind to have been secretly working for the intelligence organization during the sixties and seventies—around the same time he was developing kitschy and iconic television shows like The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game, and The Gong Show. Is it possible that the unassuming and at-times silly Barris could be telling the truth here—or was...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received a booster dose of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine Friday. The congresswoman revealed the news in an Instagram story that same evening. [cut] The congresswoman also shared a smiling photo of herself highlighting a bandaid over where she received the injection. [cut] The coronavirus booster has proved popular among Washington’s gerontocratic class with President Biden, 78, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 79, both taking the extra jab in recent days.

They never had a public forum to discuss the myriad of side effects and death, nor comple the stage 3 trials required for approval per the FDA’s own perimeters. What the FDA did “approve” however, was...

Conference attendees will be in the nation’s capital from June 4-6...

This is the same Naomi Osaka who just last year couldn’t get enough media attention and interviews. Of course, that was so she could show off her BLM mask and t-shirts, along with her rapper boyfriend who flipped the bird during trophy presentation. If that wasn’t enough she referred to America as a GENOCIDAL COUNTRY during an interview. "I've often felt that people have no regard for athletes mental health and this rings very true whenever I see a press conference or partake in one,” she wrote, in part. “We're often sat there and asked questions that we've been asked...
