Discussing low cost drug purchasing. team of Internet entrepreneurs in downtown Manhattan wants to revolutionize how Americans get prescription drugs. Their company, Blink Health, has a crazy idea: let customers shop for the best deal... A functioning market requires price signals to provide consumer guidance; but at the pharmacy, neither the buyer nor the seller knows what the price is. In choosing among drugs to prescribe, your doctor doesn’t know how much each will cost you or your insurance company. You can’t find out what you’ll pay until after you’ve chosen a pharmacy to handle the prescription. The pharmacist must...

I was working out, the tv was on MUTE where I was, but I just saw what appeared to be a lying, nervous Debbie being interviewed by Gretchen Carlson. Can anyone shed light on the specifics?

Religious schools now expecting to be protected from political influence of Education Department The federal government apparently has blinked in a standoff with private Christian colleges over a proposal that would bring the schools under the regulation of the political powers in their states. Colorado Christian University President Bill Armstrong has told WND that the rules proposed by the Education Department are the "greatest threat to academic freedom in our lifetime."

Does anyone really believe that Queen Nancy is telling the truth? Even many Democrats are distancing themselves from her. Pelosi should have taken a few lessons from Bill Clinton on the art of lying.

Parts of the brain are temporarily "switched off" when we blink, scientists have found. Researchers from University College London found that the brain actively shuts down parts of the visual system for every blink - even if light is still entering the eyes. This could explain why people do not notice their own blinking. The study used a specially-designed device to study the effects of blinking on the brain. The device, made with fibre optic cable, was placed in the mouths of volunteers who were wearing light proof goggles and lying in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scanner....
