Fox News Retracts Fake News Hit Piece on Donald Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Fox News retracted a hit piece against former President Donald Trump and admitted they “inaccurately attributed” an anti-Trump quote to former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price.

Fox News’s story had the following headline: “Former Trump Cabinet member tells him to ‘kiss’ his ‘butt.”

The since-retracted, purportedly exclusive story read, in part:

EXCLUSIVE: Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price told Fox News Digital there’s “no way” he will support former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid.

When asked whether he will endorse Trump, Price said, “After he fired me? No way.” “The only thing that guy has more of than fake tan is narcissism,” Price said in an emailed statement to Fox New Digital. “He can kiss my big medical butt.”

Mark Zuckerberg Spent $43M on Security, but Gives Millions to ‘Defund Police’ Groups

/0 Comments/in , /by

Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t practice what he preaches when it comes to public safety.

The tech tycoon’s company has spent more than $40 million on Zuckerberg’s personal security over the past three years — while at the same time his family-run foundation has donated millions of dollars to groups that want to defund or even abolish the police.

Since 2020, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has donated $3 million to PolicyLink, the organization behind DefundPolice.org, according to investigative reporter Lee Fang.

The anti-cop group boasts on its website that its funds efforts to “diminish the role of policing in communities, and empower alternative visions for public safety,” though it fails to list what those substitutes may be.

CZI, which Zuckerberg founded with wife Priscilla Chan, has also donated more than $2.5 million to Solidaire, Fang reported, which seeks to do away with policing. (Read more from “Mark Zuckerberg Spent $43M on Security, but Gives Millions to ‘Defund Police’ Groups” HERE)

Medicare Requirements for New FDA-Approved Alzheimer’s Drug Raise Alarms for Seniors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alzheimer’s advocacy organizations have praised the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the new treatment for the debilitating disease, but they have equally condemned the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for attaching significant burdens to access the care.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced on Thursday that, for Medicare to cover these expensive treatments, Medicare patients must be diagnosed with amyloid plaques on the brain and be treated by a physician who would be required to upload patient information into a federal database to monitor the real-world efficacy of the treatments.

After granting accelerated pathway approval for Biogen and Eisai’s drug, Leqembi, in January, the FDA announced full approval of the infusion treatment that clinical trials demonstrate slows cognitive decline caused by Alzheimer’s disease progression in mild, early onset patients by 27%. Leqembi, which is called lecanemab-irmb generically, works by reducing amyloid plaques in the brain, which is a key feature of the disease.

As with many new drugs in high demand, the commercial cost of Leqembi is a staggering $26,500 annually for the drug itself. Added to this cost is the amount of time and travel costs to receive the treatment at licensed infusion centers. CMS promised earlier this year that it would explore coverage options upon the FDA granting full approval.

‘I Can’t Do This Anymore’: TikTok Brainwashed Me Into Being Transgender — Now I’m Detransitioning’

/0 Comments/in , /by

At age 13, Ash Eskridge was severely under the influence, but not of drugs or alcohol — of TikTok.

The brunette told The Post that trendsetters on the popular app wrongfully convinced her that she was transgender.

“I saw TikTok videos by influencers saying how that transitioning saved their life,” said Eskridge, now 16, from Missoula, Montana. . .

It was just after the pandemic that the Gen Zer joined the crowd: As part of what’s been dubbed “Generation COVID,” Ash spent the majority of her recreational hours scrolling through social media, where viral hashtags such as #transgender and #trans have amassed a staggering 21.5 billion and 59.6 billion views, respectively. . .

“Being transgender is definitely a TikTok trend that all began around 2020,” she told The Post of the apparent social media wave. “I notice that the demographic it most affects is teen girls around 12 to 14, as they’re the most vulnerable since they aren’t matured yet,” she continued, noting that most trans folks in her age demographic would likely disagree.

‘Missing’ Hunter Biden Witness Comes Forward in Video Statement Accusing Bidens of Corruption, DOJ of Coverup

/6 Comments/in , , /by

American-Israeli energy expert Gal Luft accused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of maliciously targeting him to protect President Joe Biden on Wednesday.

Luft said in a video statement obtained by the New York Post that he had provided evidence of Biden family corruption to the FBI and DOJ in March of 2019, weeks before Biden announced his run for the White House. Luft said he heard nothing from the DOJ until American authorities arrested him in Cyprus earlier this year on charges of illegal arms trading, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, and lying to the FBI.

Luft has been the “missing witness” of House Republicans’ investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings for months, according to the Post. House investigators have been unable to locate him to request his testimony to Congress.

Luft, who spends most of his time in Israel, offered to meet with the DOJ in 2019 to hand over evidence and information from Hunter Biden’s dealings with CEFC. Luft advised the now-defunct Chinese energy company for roughly four years and during the time that Hunter and the company were working together.

Luft said he met a six-person team from the DOJ and FBI in Brussels in March weeks before President Biden announced his bid for the White House. The team included two DOJ prosecutors from the Southern District of New York, Daniel Richenthal and Catherine Ghosh. Representing the FBI side, Special Agent Joshua Wilson of the Baltimore field office was one of the four in attendance. Wilson’s signature would later appear on the subpoena authorizing the FBI to confiscate Hunter’s laptop from a Delaware computer repair store.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen set fire to a replica of the Bill of Rights Thursday outside the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.

The businessman, activist, and philanthropist led a protest outside the DOJ to criticize the treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and emphasize the importance of a free press.

“Little did we know that our greatest struggle would be when we tried to bring the First Amendment to the United States,” said Cohen, who resigned as CEO of Ben & Jerry’s in 1996.

6,000 Congregations Are Leaving the United Methodist Church in a Split Over LGBTQ Agenda

/0 Comments/in , /by

About a fifth of the congregations in the second largest Protestant church in the U.S. are splitting away over a schism about the inclusion of the LGBTQ agenda in Christianity.

That comes to about 6,000 communities in the United Methodist Church, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune.

“I don’t think any of us want to see any of our churches leave,” said UMC Council of Bishops president Bishop Thomas Bickerton.

“We’re called to be the body of Christ, we’re called to be unified,” he added. “There’s never been a time when the church has not been without conflict, but there’s been a way we’ve worked through that.”

The mass exodus was the latest development in the years-long debate over LGBTQ inclusion in Methodist theology. Traditional Protestant teaching forbids gay relationships and marriages, but some members and churches are opposing the biblical teaching.

Teachers’ Union Recommends Sexually Explicit Graphic Novel, Other Controversial Books on Its Summer Reading List

/0 Comments/in , /by

The country’s largest teachers’ union recently released its latest summer reading list, which recommended a sexually explicit graphic novel and several other controversial books to educators.

The National Education Association published a list of 11 suggested reads divided into several sections, including “books that make you forget work,” “books to celebrate or understand Juneteenth,” and “books that will make you a better educator.”

The summer list also included a “banned books” section encouraging bookworms to “celebrate the freedom to read!”

Most notably, the NEA’s recommendations included the controversial graphic comic book, “Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maira Kobabe.

The NEA’s website stated, “Twilight used to be at the top of banned-book lists for its racy content. Today, those lists are much more likely to feature LGBTQ+ people or People of Color.” (Read more from “Teachers’ Union Recommends Sexually Explicit Graphic Novel, Other Controversial Books on Its Summer Reading List” HERE)

CDC Now Giving Tips for Trans People Who Want to Breastfeed

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, last seen making toddlers mask for a virus that barely affected them — using masks that didn’t prevent exposure — now has suggestions for trans men and women who want to breastfeed. . .

The term is now “chestfeed,” because why would we assume that the person doing the feeding has breasts? . . .

The CDC advice isn’t just for biological women who have removed their breasts but still want to nurse babies, it’s also for biological men, who through the magic of plastic surgery also have breasts and would now like to use these breasts to feed babies.

As that’s biologically impossible, the CDC suggests getting help with “maximizing milk production, supplementing with pasteurized donor human milk or formula, medication to induce lactation.”

A 2022 CDC note specified “an individual does not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed.” (Read more from “CDC Now Giving Tips for Trans People Who Want to Breastfeed” HERE)

What Is ‘Long Vax?’ Symptoms Linked to COVID-19 Shot Baffle Docs

/0 Comments/in , /by

You’ve heard of “long COVID,” the cases of people who can’t shake the lingering symptoms of COVID-19.

Now comes “long vax” — a rare, but baffling set of symptoms that follow a small number of people for months after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

“You see one or two patients and you wonder if it’s a coincidence,” Dr. Anne Louise Oaklander, a neurologist and researcher at Harvard Medical School, told Science.

“But by the time you’ve seen 10, 20 [patients],” she said, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

Cases are very rare — even less common than the few reported cases of long COVID — and medical experts are still analyzing data to determine what might be behind them. (Read more from “What Is ‘Long Vax?’ Symptoms Linked to COVID-19 Shot Baffle Docs” HERE)
