U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Martin Makary announced a new policy directive limiting employees of companies the agency regulates, such as pharmaceutical companies, from serving as official members of FDA advisory committees. “While the FDA should be partnering with industry to ensure a user-friendly review process, the scientific evaluation of new products should be independent,” Makary said. “Industry employees are welcome to attend FDA advisory committee meetings, along with the rest of the American public, but having industry employees serve as official members of FDA advisory committee members represents a cozy relationship that is concerning to many Americans,”...

President Donald Trump ordered the release of approximately 80,000 pages of previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, fulfilling a long-standing promise to declassify all remaining records. These files, part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection, are accessible online at the National Archives (JFK Release 2025) or in person at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. Internet sleuths and researchers have been combing through these files, uncovering what they believe are significant revelations. Below are some of the highlights found online.

This New York Times “gotcha” is about as sharp as a soggy bowl of breakfast cereal. The Times was relentlessly mocked over the weekend for appearing to unintentionally make Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s case in a recent article that tried to poke holes in his anti-processed-food crusade. Kennedy, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, has long pushed for purging artificial ingredients from the food supply, routinely calling such additives “poison.” The Times on Friday ran a story positing that the Kennedy scion’s stance while potentially leading the agency could put him on a...

After they struggled with COVID-19 symptoms for two weeks, Joel Mahoney drove his parents to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport, where his mother, Nancy Mahoney, was admitted on Dec. 19, 2021 for complaints of labored breathing, fatigue and a cough. She was treated for COVID pneumonia that required supplemental oxygen. She told the hospitalist treating her that a doctor, Ellsworth internist Meryl Nass, had diagnosed her with COVID “over the phone” earlier that month and prescribed a five-day supply of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin. The proponents of using the drug to treat COVID have been roundly criticized, and the...

…Kennedy has said he is not against all vaccines…He has said he would not ban vaccines if confirmed, previously telling MSNBC that "if vaccines are working for somebody, I'm not going to take them away." "People ought to have choice and ought to be informed by the best information, so I'm going to make sure that scientific safety studies and efficacies are out there and people can make individual assessments about whether that product is going to be good for them," Kennedy said. The problem with that line of thinking, according to public health officials who spoke to Newsweek, is...

In a recent interview on Fox News, Republican Senate candidate Hung Cao of Virginia revealed while serving in a U.S. Navy’s Special Operations unit, he helped retrieve the body of John F. Kennedy Jr.’s body and plane. Cao, in an interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham, shared, “As a Navy diver, I recovered John F. Kenendy Jr. and his plane.” In an interview with the National Review in 2022, Cao gave more details on the mission. Cao stated, “John F. Kennedy Jr. crashed in July of 1999, and we were at my commanding officer’s house that night. People had been...

"If my dear friend Donald Trump ever decided to sacrifice his fabulous billionaire lifestyle to become President he would be an unstoppable force for ultimate justice that Democrats and Republicans alike would celebrate" John F Kennedy Jr. [George Magazine, June, 1999]

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can continue to pursue his censorship lawsuit against the Biden administration. The Supreme Court ruled in June that state and individual plaintiffs who alleged the Biden administration violated their First Amendment rights when it pressured social media companies to suppress speech did not have standing to sue. District Court Judge Terry Doughty found Kennedy meets the standard set by the Supreme Court because there is “ample evidence” to show he has been censored in the past at the direction of government actors and “substantial risk” that the censorship will continue....

RFK Jr. has named far left Democrat donor and activist Nicole Shanahan as his vice president. Nicole provided financial support to both Pete Buttigieg & Biden. She also funded Soros-backed DA George Gascón.

According to a new poll, nearly 90 percent of ivy league grads support the “strict” rationing of gas, meat and electricity to fight climate change. That's 90%! “Strict rationing!” The poll, conducted by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, is titled “Them vs. U.S.: The two Americas and how the nation’s elite is out of touch with average Americans.” It was intended to assess the beliefs of “elites.” According to the College Fix, the poll was comprised of two surveys of 1,000 folks each conducted in late 2023, and the "Elites" were defined as “people having at least one post-graduate degree,...

<p>Michael Brian Protzman, the leader of a QAnon-centric group who brought hundreds of followers to Dallas to await the supposed resurrections of long-dead President John F. Kennedy and his son — tearing countless families apart in the process — died following a crash last month, according to authorities in Minnesota.</p>

If you were trying to design a magazine to tantalize, excite, and frustrate QAnon believers, you could hardly do better than a 1997 issue of George. Due to the peculiarities of history, the muscular free market, and the fact that we live in hell, copies of the issue—which is taglined “Survival Guide to the Future”—have recently sold for thousands of dollars on eBay. The magazine has become one of the minor holy objects passed around by the Q crowd as evidence of the truth of their addled quest. George enjoyed a short but infamous run, often inextricably tied with the...

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Guatemala's Maya Indian Nobel laureate Rigoberta Menchu said on Wednesday she may run for president this year in a bid to become the second indigenous head of state in Latin America.

(LifeSiteNews) – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. told Michael Cohen – Donald Trump’s disgraced former lawyer – that Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci should be “criminally prosecuted.” On an episode of Cohen’s podcast, “Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen,” he asked Kennedy: “Based on your findings, do you believe that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates should be investigated for criminal wrongdoing?” Kennedy, who is Chairman of Children’s Health Defense, responded with a simple, “yes.” Kennedy went on to say that he thinks that because of “Fauci’s policies – 80% of the people who died from COVID should not have died.”

Mike Lindell ended a 96-hour online marathon entitled, Thanks-a-thon, after failing to gain strong support for his Supreme Court case. Despite providing no evidence for widespread election fraud, Lindell claimed he would have the support of multiple states' attorneys in general as he hoped to take this issue to the Supreme Court. The 60-year-old claimed he would have this support by Thanksgiving, a deadline he set himself, but he did not receive it and the lawsuit was not filed. By the end of the marathon, Mike Lindell appeared defeated, according to viewers, and in his final words asked the people...

They seem to be running late. Hundreds of conspiracy theorists gathered at the AT&T Discovery Plaza in Dallas to await the arrival of former President Donald Trump and John F. Kennedy Jr., whom they expected to announce an unlikely campaign for the White House around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. As of late afternoon, those optimists were still waiting. Kennedy’s absence was likely due to the 1999 plane crash in which he died. His father, former President John F. Kennedy, was fatally shot in November 1963 at the downtown Dallas locale where supporters had gathered. The event had been promoted through the...

If the answer is yes, it raises another question... is it such as "stretch" to conclude the Clinton's might have been involved in a conspiracy to take JFK Jr. out, to pave the way for Hillary's eventual NY Senate run and later POTUS runs... Adding perhaps the most important name to the long list in the "Clinton dead pool." I now put nothing past these evil Clinton's, to win political office at all costs!

Lost potential is a common theme of Kennedy-family lore. It's hard not to imagine what Bobby, President Kennedy, and JFK Jr. might have accomplished, had they not died so young. John Jr. would be making a run for the White House right now, if he were still alive. At least, that's what Jackie Kennedy's former personal assistant thinks. "If her brother wasn’t gone, he’d probably be running for president," Kathy McKeon said in a new, wide-ranging profile of Caroline Kennedy in Avenue magazine. "When Caroline was growing up, she always said she wanted to be a wife and mother, and...

John F. Kennedy Jr., 20 years ago, predicted the rise of Donald Trump as a presidential candidate. Michael Berman, onetime partner of Kennedy on the launch of George, the political-pop culture magazine, recalled the prescient comments last week in remarks to note a six-figure donation he and his wife, interior designer Victoria Hagan, recently made to Elon University’s School of Communications. In 1996, Berman said, Kennedy flew a select group of advertisers to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate after an industry conference in Florida.
