Pharmacies Limit Children’s Medicine Purchases Amid Shortages

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two major pharmacy stores have placed limits on customers purchasing children’s medicine amid reports of shortages as the winter cold-and-flu season impacts families across the United States.

According to a report, CVS Health and Walgreens are limiting customers from buying Children’s Tylenol and other over-the-counter fever-reducing medicines like Tamiflu, children’s ibuprofen, and acetaminophen.

CVS Health said customers have only a two-product limit on all children’s pain relief products bought through its pharmacies or online.

A CVS spokesperson told TODAY.com that the company has seen customers searching for cold, flu, and children’s pain relief products.

“We’re committed to meeting our customers’ needs and are working with our suppliers to ensure continued access to these items,” the CVS spokesperson said. “In the event a local store experiences a temporary product shortage, our teams have a process in place to replenish supply.” (Read more from “Pharmacies Limit Children’s Medicine Purchases Amid Shortages” HERE)

‘Twitter Files’: Twitter Employed Gang of Spies Leading Up to 2020 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter employed multiple former spies from the intelligence community leading up to the 2020 election, according to the seventh tranche of “Twitter Files” released Monday by journalist Michael Shellenberger.

Among the ex-spies who worked for Twitter was James Baker, the FBI’s former general counsel, who was a key participant in pushing the 2016 Russia hoax against former President Donald Trump. Baker left the FBI in 2018 and joined the far-left Brookings Institution and CNN after his departure. In 2020, he joined Twitter as the “Deputy General Counsel and Vice President, Legal,” according to Baker’s LinkedIn. During his tenure, he played a key role in suppressing the New York Post’s first story on Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell.”

“As of 2020, there were so many former FBI employees — ‘Bu alumni’ — working at Twitter that they had created their own private Slack channel and a crib sheet to onboard new FBI arrivals,” Shellenberger revealed:

Monday’s “Twitter Files” showed the FBI wanted to share information with Twitter employees that required a top secret security clearance. Twitter pointed the FBI to Baker. The FBI warned Twitter before the 2020 election of a Russian disinflation campaign. When the Post dropped the first Hunter’s laptop story, Baker repeatedly insisted via internal Twitter communications “that the Hunter Biden materials were either faked, hacked, or both, and a violation of Twitter policy,” Shellenberger said.

Baker was fired in December by Twitter CEO Elon Musk for his “possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue,” Musk tweeted on December 6. Musk’s statement appeared to reference Baker’s suppression of the “Twitter Files,” which revealed that Twitter violated the First Amendment and campaign finance law, according to Tucker Carlson.

Puerto Rico Statehood Might Not Be a GOP Disaster Waiting To Happen

/0 Comments/in , /by

The island of Puerto Rico becoming a state might not lead to Democrats obtaining two additional senate seats, despite the party’s high hopes.

The U.S. House passed a bipartisan bill to put Puerto Rico’s territorial status up for a vote with three potential options: statehood, full independence, or sovereignty will full U.S. association. In a symbolic 2012 referendum, statehood received over 60% of the vote with the other two options included.

New York Democratic Reps. Nydia Velazquez and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have led the push for Puerto Rican self determination, which was included in the party’s 2020 election platform. Democratic proposals for Puerto Rico include large economic, education and climate plans for the island funded by the federal government.

In contrast, South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said Puerto Rican statehood “dilutes our power,” referring to a Republican senate majority. Graham’s statement came during a Nov. 7 rally for GOP candidate Herschel Walker before the 2022 midterm elections.

“We assume that Puerto Ricans are democrats given the historical relationship between Puerto Ricans living in different States and the Democratic Party. But this is not necessarily true for Puerto Ricans on the Island. There’s never been a high-quality survey that measures Puerto Ricans’ ideology or their position on different issues so we can gauge what ideology they will lean toward once a state,” Mayra Velez Sarrano, a political scientist at the University of Puerto Rico told the Daily Caller.

‘Dem on Dem’ Drama Over FBI Headquarters Delays Omnibus Text Release

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Democrat disagreements over the future headquarters of the FBI have delayed the release of the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill.

Senate Minority Leader John Thune (R-SD) described the conflict as a “Dem on Dem” issue. A source familiar told Roll Call that the FBI headquarters issue delayed the release of the omnibus bill and that House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) was involved in the negotiations.

Hoyer has long been a proponent of moving the headquarters of the FBI to Maryland.

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Pat Leahy said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has tried to resolve the Democrat spat.

Leahy continued, saying that the release of the legislative text for the omnibus spending bill could happen on Tuesday instead of Monday. Lawmakers are rushing to finish the release and passage of the omnibus before Christmas and a winter storm later this week.

Russian Troop Losses Could Hit 100K Before Christmas: Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s army is poised to reach 100,000 troop losses just shy of Christmas and the Ukraine war’s 10-month anniversary, according to calculations based on Ukrainian estimates.

The Defense Ministry of Ukraine and General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine provide daily estimates of how many Russian personnel have been lost since the day before, as well as the total number of Russian losses since the war began.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported that Russia had lost about 98,800 troops as of Monday. With 520 new estimated Russian losses on Monday included, a Newsweek calculation based on the Ukrainian death counts show that Russia has lost an average of 577 soldiers per day over the past week. If this or a similar average is maintained over the next few days, Russia will surpass the 100,000 mark on Thursday.

Harvey Weinstein Found Guilty of Rape, Sex Assault

/0 Comments/in , /by

A jury found Harvey Weinstein guilty of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault, both relating to the same person, at his trial in Los Angeles.

The guilty charges were for forcible rape, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by foreign object of Jane Doe 1, an Italian model, at the Mr. C Hotel in the city in February 2013.

Three other women had also accused him of rape and sex assaults which took place between 2005 and 2013.

Weinstein was found not guilty of sexual battery by restraint of Jane Doe 3, a massage therapist.

On charges of sexual battery by restraint of Jane Doe 2 — previously identified as actress and screenwriter Lauren Young — and forcible rape and forcible oral copulation of Jane Doe 4, who has previously been identified as Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the jury was hung and could not deliver a unanimous verdict. A mistrial was therefore declared on those charges. (Read more from “Harvey Weinstein Found Guilty of Rape, Sex Assault” HERE)

Lesbian Actress Facing up to Three Years in Prison for Saying Trans-women Can’t Be Lesbians

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Norwegian actress Tonje Gjevjon faces a possible three-year prison sentence over a Nov. 17 Facebook post saying that men cannot transition into lesbians.

Norwegian transgender activist Christine Jentoft singled out Gjevjon, who is herself a lesbian, after she accused transgenders of impersonating and appropriating lesbian and female identities, feminist news site Reduxx reported. It’s just as impossible for men to become lesbian as it is for men to become pregnant … Men are men regardless of their sexual fetishes,” Gjevjon wrote, according to the outlet.

Jentoft, who identifies as a female lesbian mother despite being born male, accused Gjevjon of targeted hate speech, a charge that reportedly carries up to three years behind bars. Gjevjon says she made the post to draw attention to Norway’s hate speech laws, the New York Post reported.

Censorship’s Biggest Cheerleaders Will Always Be Our Corrupt Corporate Media

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter CEO Elon Musk suspended the accounts of more than half a dozen corporate media mouthpieces on Thursday evening for doxxing. But his intervention affecting the press, which has been taken over by the “woke mind virus” Musk has lamented, is only a Band-Aid over a gaping societal wound: an inherently anti-free-speech media establishment.

For years, Big Tech censors did the media’s dirty work without accountability or punishment. When the propaganda press cried wolf over ideologies it disagreed with, Big Tech dredged up new policies to justify nuking anyone who spread them. Together, media and Silicon Valley censors cashed in on the lucrative “fact-checking” machine as an effective way to rid the internet of their political enemies.

It was only when Musk nuked The New York Times’s Ryan Mac, The Washington Post’s Drew Harwell, leftist writer Aaron Rupar, CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, Mashable’s Matt Binder, Micah Lee of The Intercept, Keith Olbermann, and other accounts over the very clear issue of doxxing that members of the corporate media finally got a clue. . .

The absurd and unified reaction from the left’s propaganda arm is more than hypocritical considering the media’s unified treatment of Big Tech’s history of censorship.

While legitimate members of the press such as my colleagues at The Federalist are suspended and shadowbanned for speaking the truth, professional doxxers such as Taylor Lorenz run free. Instead of facing punishment like the New York Post did for allegedly sharing “hacked materials” — a designation the “Twitter Files” recently confirmed was a scapegoat to cover up the exposure of Biden family corruption — journos such as Lorenz, who unethically “exposed” a civilian’s private information, are granted tearful features by their accomplices about online bullying.

Supreme Court Makes Last-minute Ruling About Title 42

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay on a lower court’s ruling to keep Title 42 in place right before it was supposed to be lifted on Wednesday. The Biden administration has until 5 p.m. Tuesday to respond the Court’s decision.

“This is purely administrative at this point, not on the merits,” Fox News Chief Legal Correspondent Shannon Bream noted about the decision.

Title 42 is the public health order that has been in place since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic that allowed Border Patrol agents to quickly expel illegal immigrants to prevent transmission of the virus in holding facilities. The Biden administration was also prevented from removing Title 42 at the last minute in May after a lawsuit was brought by Republicans.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A landslide Friday at a tourist campground in Malaysia left 16 people dead and authorities said 17 others were feared buried at the site on an organic farm outside the capital of Kuala Lumpur.

An estimated 94 Malaysians were believed to have been at the campsite in Batang Kali in central Selangor state, around 31 miles north of Kuala Lumpur, when the incident occurred, said district police chief Suffian Abdullah.

He said the death toll has risen to 16, including a five-year-old boy. Seven people have been hospitalized with injuries and rescuers were searching for the estimated 17 missing people, he said. Another 53 people were rescued without harm.

Suffian said the victims had entered the area, a popular recreational site for locals to pitch or rent tents from the farm, on Wednesday. More than 400 personnel, including tracking dogs, were involved in the search and rescue efforts. (Read more from “Landslide at Campground Leaves 16 Dead, 17 Missing” HERE)
