For several years, Live Action News has researched and published the facts regarding the abortion pill along with the web of those who fund the manufacturing of the abortion pill as well as its clinical trials and studies. What has been uncovered has been nothing short of shocking: an incestuous funding trail from the investors in U.S. abortion pill manufacturers Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro, whose own dollars have been funneled to various groups behind clinical trials and studies of the abortion pill and its purported safety and effectiveness. Such an arrangement appears to be a possible conflict of interest, which...

Cortez Rice, a relative of George Floyd who recorded a viral video saying he knew of people with cameras in the courtroom who could dox the jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, has been arrested for reportedly making contact with jurors. He's jailed in Waukesha County, Wis. The far-left on Twitter are trying to fundraise $50,000 for him. The National Lawyers Guild was also contacted for help, according to someone in the comments.

A former board member of Hewlett-Packard who voted to fire Carly Fiorina as CEO is now endorsing the businesswoman's 2016 Republican presidential campaign. "Carly did what she was brought in to do: turn the company around and make it successful again. Not only did she save the company from the dire straits it was in, she laid the foundation for HP's future growth," Tom Perkins wrote for a full-page New York Times ad. The comments, in an advertisement placed in the newspaper's business section Thursday by a pro-Fiorina super-PAC, were framed as a response to an Aug. 18 Times column...

In what is being described as one of its biggest and most strategic acquisitions ever, HP has agreed to pay US$4.5 billion for applications management software vendor Mercury Interactive. HP had previously been in a hotly contested bidding war for the company with storage vendor EMC. The move comes with a few major risks. It is HP's biggest ever move into the software space, where well-established software players, such as IBM, Oracle and Microsoft are already competing. The integration of Mercury into HP's business will be another mammoth project, like Compaq four years earlier. Finally, Mercury is involved in a...

A Georgia woman has sued Hewlett-Packard, claiming the ink cartridges for their printers are secretly programmed to expire on a certain date, in some cases rendering them useless before they're even installed in a printer. The suit, filed in Santa Clara Superior Court in Northern California last Thursday, seeks to represent anyone in the United States who purchased an HP inkjet printer since February 2001. HP, which recently endured the high-profile ouster of former CEO Carly Fiorina, is the world's No. 1 computer printer maker. An HP spokesman said the company does not comment on pending litigation. HP ink cartridges...

As I See It: Jobs and Jehovah by Victor Rozek Hewlett-Packard's CEO, Carly Fiorina, made a provocative statement a while back. "There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," she said. It was a telling, if somewhat flippant, remark that sought to vindicate the practice of outsourcing, while dismissing opposition to it for not being divinely sanctioned. As a measure of how far we've slid down the outsourcing job drain, Ms. Fiorina apparently could see no benefit in preserving middle class jobs. Indeed, it was a disingenuous statement coming as it did from the CEO of a major...

The H-P-Compaq Mess Isn't All Carly's Doing By MICHAEL MALONE As part of its campaign to woo shareholding employees to its proposed merger with Compaq, Hewlett-Packard management put together a glossy road show. A high point of the extravaganza was the appearance of Richard Hackborn, H-P board member, former chairman and company hero, who solemnly announced that "unless this has the full commitment of employees it's not going to work."The vote, as we know, passed thanks to some last-minute wheeling and dealing with institutional investors by H-P CEO Carly Fiorina. But H-P management not only didn't get the near-unanimity it...
