President Donald Trump has signed a bill giving terminally ill patients the right to try experimental treatments not approved by the government. ... The new Right to Try act allows patients with life-threatening diseases to bypass the FDA's application process for "compassionate use" of experimental drugs. Patients seeking access to "investigational drugs" now need only the approval of their physician and the drug manufacturer. The new bill protects doctors and companies from the legal risks of allowing unapproved treatments unless they intentionally harm a patient. The policy that patients must have exhausted all other approved treatments and clinical trial options...

In the past couple of years I have noticed there is a complete lake of regard for other posters on this site. Not only that but swearing seems to be tolerated. In the past day I have been called gay, a lair, that I am talking out of my *** and I am full of ****. Do we even have to go into the fighting on any thread about Ukraine or Russia. Even hard facts from multiple sources no longer seem to matter. Instead it is whoever can come up with the snarkiest reply.

House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly apologized to President Joe Biden for rolling his eyes at the president’s angry State of the Union address in March. Johnson’s office did not deny his apology when Breitbart News asked for comment. The apology is the latest revelation that suggests Johnson’s sympathies lie with the establishment and Washington, DC, elites, rather than with the voters who elected him to Congress and the Republican conference.

Charges against the Gold Star father arrested after heckling President Biden during his State of the Union address were dropped Tuesday by Washington, DC’s Democratic attorney general.Steve Nikoui, 51, was taken into custody by Capitol Police after he yelled, “Abbey Gate!” and “Second Battalion, First Marines!” down at Biden, 81, during his speech earlier this month.

During a portion of an interview with the Fox News Channel on Tuesday that was aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of “America Reports,” Steve Nikoui, the father of Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, who was killed during the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing, stated that the charges against him for interrupting President Joe Biden’s State of the Union haven’t been dropped and no one from the Biden administration has tried to help him, which he isn’t surprised by, because Biden won’t recognize his own grandchild and “it’s nothing new. It’s been this way for the last two-and-a-half years.” Fox News Congressional Correspondent Aishah...

Why has no one asked either KJP, John Kirby, or even Biden himself, if he was given any drugs prior to the SOTU address? Simple question, and requires only a simple answer, After all, there is good reason to ask. He acted out of character and in a bizarre manner.The American people have a right to know.

PALM BEACH, Florida — Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for president in 2024, told Breitbart News exclusively that Laken Riley’s parents are “great people” who “lost an angel” when an illegal alien that Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration allowed into the country allegedly killed their daughter. Trump met with Riley’s parents last weekend while he was campaigning in Georgia. At a rally in Rome, Georgia, over the weekend, Trump met with Laken’s father, Jason Riley, and mother, Allyson Phillips. In late February, Laken Riley went out for a jog but was murdered. Biden for weeks refused to...

Seldom in American history has a president so boldly insulted the American people, played demagogue, or taken us for fools – as Joe Biden did last week in his bag-of-air State of the Union. It was mortifying. If you did not hear it, he began by comparing himself to FDR in 1941. A starker contrast is hard to imagine. FDR faced real war, with thousands of Americans and allies dead, while Biden failed to deter our enemies, hemorrhages credibility with inaction, condemned tens of thousands of US allies to death by Taliban torture, killed Americans there with his incompetence, and...

A conservative nonprofit, Building America’s Future, hit CNN for not airing an ad that faults President Biden for Laken Riley’s tragic murder during last week’s State of the Union address, but the network insists the commercial didn’t meet its standards. "CNN and Joe Biden are in lockstep once again," Building America’s Future Advisor Phil Cox said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "It is shameful that CNN is censoring the truth and trying to protect President Biden by refusing to air this ad. The American people understand that Biden’s open borders agenda is responsible for the death of Laken...

As if it weren’t bad enough that Joe Biden had to be heckled into mentioning Laken Riley’s name in an impromptu outburst during his State of the Union address — and even then cared so little about the murdered 22-year-old that he called her “Lincoln.” But then he went and apologized for accurately describing the illegal-alien murder suspect as “illegal.” There is a screw loose in the president’s moral compass, if he has one at all. Riley, a nursing student, was jogging on the University of Georgia campus when she was abducted and bashed to death by illegal alien Jose...

President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address last week failed to improve his popularity on key issues among Americans, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll found Sunday; therefore, his campaign received no boost heading into the 2024 presidential election. On key 2024 issues of Biden’s economy, crime, Hamas’s war, as well as the Ukraine war, Biden’s approval rating “remains unchanged,” the poll found: Economy: 36 percent approval Crime: 35 percent approval Hamas: 30 percent approval Ukraine: 41 percent approval Biden’s speech, which many said was angry, partisan, and aggressive, was not well received among independents. Thirty-six percent of independents said...

If you were baffled by former New York Congressman George Santos’ surprise appearance at the State of the Union address, you certainly weren’t alone. According to Google data, searches for the term “House floor privileges” spiked dramatically during President Biden’s national address Thursday night, March 7. The reason, no doubt, was Santos himself, who was all smiles seated in the House chamber while donning a rhinestone necklace and flashy silver shoes. His attendance understandably left many confused, given the 35-year-old Republican’s historic ouster from his 3rd District seat representing parts of Nassau County and Queens amid growing accusations he had...

......But this was not a State of the Union address, it was a fascistic campaign rally of the kind that he had been giving for years, most disturbingly while flanked by Marines at Independence Hall before the 2022 midterms, declaring war on Trump, Republicans and all political opponents. After accusing Republicans of being in thrall to Russia and then of being “insurrectionists”, he falsely claimed that they were preventing women from getting IVF procedures. (In reality, no one’s IVF procedures were threatened and Alabama rushed through a bill protecting IVF in record time .) That was then followed by attacking...

He’s not dead yet. Fans and well-wishers of University of Southern California football coach Lincoln Riley took to social media this week to offer faux condolences after President Biden accidentally mentioned his name during his State of the Union address on Thursday. During his remarks Biden intended to offer his sympathies to Laken Riley — a Georgia women killed by an illegal migrant — but instead flubbed the slain woman’s name. “Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.” And while Laken Riley’s family expressed outrage over the snafu, fans of Coach Riley went...

The mother of a Marine killed during the US’ botched withdrawal from Afghanistan on Saturday called “BS” on the fallen hero’s father getting arrested for heckling President Biden during his State of the Union address.“I was shocked because I thought it was complete BS that they arrested him,” Shana Chappell told The Post. “He shouldn’t have been arrested, he’s a Gold Star father. He’s in the same room as the man that he knows is responsible for our son’s death, so why was he arrested?”Chappell, 51, of Lake Elsinore, Calif., said she’s still struggling to survive nearly three years after...

I was unable to watch Biden’s State of the Union speech live in Thailand, but I did listen to parts of it afterwards. And best I could tell, J. D. Vance had the right idea—boycott it because listening to lies can make one immune to them. But that’s not really the main point here. SOTU is just a speck in time. We knew, preceding the event, that Biden would make a campaign speech—Ukraine, abortion, transgenderism, Trump is Hitler—and attempt to boost his failing administration as much as possible. And attack Republicans. That is all Biden ever does. Anybody who expected...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that while he thinks President Joe Biden “did well” in his State of the Union, he should stay in his basement like he did in 2020 because whenever he does interviews and press conferences, he messes up and looks like a “zombie” and the State of the Union was good because it was on a teleprompter and Biden only had to go off script every so often.

Expelled former Rep. George Santos made a surprising return to Congress on Thursday night to witness President Biden’s State of the Union address. Santos, who was kicked out of the House late last year with bipartisan support, expressed that it was his first time back in the Capitol since his expulsion. Despite his removal from office, Santos still retains certain privileges, including entry to the House floor when in session, due to his former membership. Speaking to reporters, Santos mentioned that he came to watch the primetime address and described his interactions with colleagues as “very bipartisan.” He acknowledged that...

Joe Biden’s fiery delivery of the State of the Union address Thursday night gave rise to speculation the 81-year-old had been given stimulant drugs such as Adderall to prop him up for the night. That speculation was enhanced by a retweet on X Twitter by a senior White House official. White House Deputy Communications Director Herbie Ziskend retweeted a comment posted during Biden’s speech by New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi, “I guess there’s no adderall shortage at the White House.”

President Biden blamed the media Friday after he was caught saying on a hot mic the previous evening that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needed a “come to Jesus” talk about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. “I didn’t say that,” Biden tried to argue when asked about the incident as he left the White House for a campaign trip to Philadelphia. When pressed, Biden groused, “You guys eavesdropped on me.” The president, 81, made the awkward comment about the Jewish state’s head of government while mingling with lawmakers following his State of the Union address — asking Sen....
