[H/T ymani cricket]Attorneys have filed three lawsuits against hospitals for forcing the use of Remdesivir and respirators to treat people for Covid-19, oftentimes against the wishes of the patients and their families. They claim that doctors, hospitals, and even states were given ample incentive by the federal government to use the ineffective and dangerous protocols instead of treatments that were more effective but less profitable.It was a blockbuster interview all the way through, but there was one comment in particular that should chill Americans to the bone. As the attorneys claim in their lawsuits, the unvaxxed were primarily targeted.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has a negative favorability rating among voters, and more think he’s doing a worse, not better, job than most who’ve held his job in the past, a new Rasmussen survey reveals. Just 36% of likely voters nationwide say they have a favorable impression of Garland, compared to 42% who view him unfavorably, including 32% with a “very unfavorable” opinion of him. Another 21% say they’re “not sure.” While 60% of Republicans have an unfavorable view of Garland, and 59% of Democrats have a favorable one, Independent voters skew more sour on the attorney general than the...

On Sunday, Russia's Navy Day, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a revised naval doctrine which recognizes the United States as the primary threat to Russian maritime ambitions. The document describes "the strategic policy of the U.S. to dominate the world's oceans" as a major threat to Russian interests. The claim has an element of truth: American naval doctrine does incorporate the Mahanian objective of global "command of the sea," and the U.S. 2020 Tri-Service Maritime Strategy revives this time-honored doctrine with "a renewed emphasis on sea control." In addition to de facto sea control in most regions, the U.S. has...

During an interview aired on Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stated that he believes “we’re in a recession.” McCarthy said, “I actually believe personally that we’re in a recession. Remember, the definition is two consecutive quarters where you went down. Salaries cannot keep up with this inflation. We’ve watched it continue to grow. We watched with just the numbers [that] came back last week. What can we do if we change the course? Well, if you join with us and we have a new majority in this House, the first...

It’s pretty clear why it’s getting more contagious. It’s less clear why it’s getting less deadly.Yesterday the White House’s new COVID coordinator, Ashish Jha, shared some rare good news about the virus. Cases have been rising in the northeast for almost two months. But deaths haven’t.If you look at the case-fatality rate now in places like NY or MADown to 0.3% (that’s deaths today divided by cases 3 weeks ago)And given we’re missing lots of cases (because of home testing)CFR is even lowerRemember, throughout the pandemic, CFR has been closer to 1.6%— Ashish K.

A new study finds that no- and low-calorie drinks offer weight and metabolic benefits nearly identical to water's.

The US has few ways to track the substantial supply of anti-tank, anti-aircraft and other weaponry it has sent across the border into Ukraine, sources tell CNN. In the long term, some of those weapons may wind up in the hands of other militaries and militias that the US did not intend to arm. In making the decision to send billions of dollars of weapons and equipment into Ukraine, the Biden administration factored in the risk that some of the shipments may ultimately end up in unexpected places, a defense official said. Privately, officials recognize that Ukraine has an incentive...

The United States lacks the capability to reliably track the array of weapons being sent by the Biden administration to Ukraine, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing sources briefed on US intelligence. "We have fidelity for a short time, but when it enters the fog of war, we have almost zero," a source said. "It drops into a big black hole, and you have almost no sense of it at all after a short period of time." The Biden administration factored in the risk of providing weapons to Ukraine that may end up in the hands of militias and other groups...

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) predicted that the border and illegal immigration will be “huge” in the 2022 elections and were going to be major issues even before the Biden administration announced its decision to revoke Title 42. McConnell also argued that thanks to President Joe Biden’s policies, “We have open borders now, almost.” Host Bret Baier asked, [relevant exchange begins around 2:50] “How big an issue will this be in the election coming up?”

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that while The New York Post‘s Hunter Biden story should have been taken with a grain of salt, “It didn’t take two years.” And it seems like “the left-wing media just buried the story because it wasn’t part of their narrative and that’s why people don’t trust the media.”

Nikki Haley, who served as President Donald Trump’s U.N. ambassador at the time the U.S. withdrew from the Iran deal, blasted President Joe Biden for “rewarding terrorists” through a new “illegitimate” deal with Iran over its nuclear program as reports swirl of an imminent revival of the 2015 nuclear pact, only weaker than the original. In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News on Sunday, Haley claimed that “a new Iran [nuclear] deal would be a disaster.”

Think about it.First, they pushed for voting restoration for felons.Then they pushed for voting in prisons.Now they are decriminalizing most felonies.I'm accusing them of ignoring crime because they are protecting the voting rights of the criminals. They are turning felonies into misdemeanors so the criminals won't lose their votes.Then they can harvest those votes.
