‘All These Rules for Nothing’: Former NFL Star Goes on Absolute Tirade Against Airport TSA

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .TJ Ward, an ex-NFL safety, is sick and tired of airport Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents making contact with his private parts.

An eight-year NFL veteran who last played in 2017 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ward launched an absolute nuke in the direction of airport TSA, specifically at their security checks. And this came after he took a trip recently which reportedly got a little too touchy and that Ward straight-up wasn’t a fan of.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ward went on a tirade against airport TSA security personnel, claiming they’ve been pulling him aside to worry “about [his] ball sack.” . . .

Basically, he got patted down, and according to Ward, it was more him being sexually assaulted — and that’s a quote! . . .

Now, fortunately for me, I usually always pass through the metal detectors with no problem, but I’ve always felt like TSA goes a bit overboard with their security measures. I mean, yeah, I get it, we’ve gotta stay safe and all that jazz, but do any of y’all really like getting groped by the TSA?

Democrat-Run State About to Get Hit with 50 Cent per Gallon Gas Tax

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In today’s edition of Getting What You Vote For, the dummies in California are about to get hit with a 50 cent per gallon gas tax.

Remember, California voters have handed the Democrat party full power over the former Golden State. Democrats run everything from the governorship on down. Democrats not only hold majorities in the state legislature, they hold veto-proof majorities. In other words…

. . .

According to Triple-A, the average cost of a gallon of gas in California today is $5.29. That’s nearly $1.70 more than the national average. In some parts of California, gas costs $6.32 per gallon. The lowest cost for a gallon of gas in that Democrat-run shithole is $5.02. . .

Fox Business reports:

In September, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state’s primary environmental regulator, reported gas prices will rise next year by about 50 cents a gallon and every year thereafter to aid in clean air efforts. The price increase does not include the existing gas tax in the state.

…

The report foresees gasoline price increases due to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard reforms that were created in 2007, likely rising by 47 cents next year and 52 cents by 2026. Diesel prices could climb by 59 cents this year and 66 cents in two years. Long-term projections suggest gasoline could surge by $1.15 and diesel by $1.50 per gallon from 2031 to 2046, with jet fuel increasing by $1.21.

Pfizer Settles Over 10,000 Cancer Lawsuits

/1 Comment/in , , /by

In a development that has largely flown under the radar, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has quietly agreed to settle over 10,000 lawsuits tied to cancer risks associated with the popular antacid Zantac, according to federal prosecutors.

The lawsuits alleged that Pfizer concealed the cancer risks posed by Zantac, a widely used heartburn medication. The settlements cover cases filed across state courts in the United States, although the financial details of the agreements have not been disclosed to the public.

While the settlements mark a significant step in resolving the litigation surrounding Zantac, they do not entirely absolve Pfizer of its exposure to claims related to the drug. The news of the settlements is likely to provide some relief to investors, as concerns about the potential financial liabilities stemming from Zantac lawsuits had previously impacted the company’s market value.

Pfizer’s decision to settle comes amidst ongoing scrutiny over the safety and transparency of pharmaceutical products. Critics argue that the case highlights broader issues within the pharmaceutical industry, including allegations of deceptive marketing practices and suppression of critical information regarding product safety.

The controversy surrounding Zantac adds to the growing list of concerns surrounding Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. While Pfizer has emphasized that it ceased the production of Zantac more than 15 years ago, questions remain about the company’s handling of the drug and its potential health risks.

Despite the settlement, the fallout from the Zantac litigation underscores broader concerns about the pharmaceutical industry’s accountability and the need for increased transparency in drug safety regulation.

A Democratic Party Megadonor Just Issued a Major Warning for Biden

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Now, let’s move to the incompetence part of this presidency. It certainly played a factor in this decision to suspend arms shipments to Israel, but does Biden think he can pull a long con over the electorate here? Does this man believe he has the smarts and skills to sell to the antisemites and pro-Hamas supporters within the Democratic Party base that he’s tough on Israel while telling American Jews that our “ironclad” support for the Jewish state will remain?

That’s the sticky wicket: Biden needs to kowtow, grovel, and appease vicious antisemites and supporters of radical Islam to keep his 2024 bid alive. It’s the ‘Keep Michigan’ page of the 2024 playbook. He loses this state, and it’s all but over. His path to 270 in the Electoral College virtually vanishes, a point where operatives on both sides agree. So, to win over the terrorist vote, Biden is playing reckless games with Israel, which is on the cusp of total victory against Hamas in Gaza.

Barak Ravid of Axios shared this message from a Biden megadonor, Haim Saban:

“Let’s not forget there are more Jewish voters who care about Israel than Muslim voters who care about Hamas.”

Stormy Daniels’ Former Attorney Releases Scathing Statement in Response to Her Testimony Against Trump

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Porn actress Stormy Daniels was called to the stand on Tuesday by the prosecution in the New York criminal case against former President Donald Trump.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) charged Trump with 34 felony counts for allegedly falsifying business records in an attempt to conceal a $130,000 so-called “hush money” payment to Daniels, who claimed the two had an affair. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied Daniels’ allegations. . .

Trump’s legal team requested a mistrial Tuesday, claiming that during her direct examination, Daniels told a story that differed from her previous public statements, Blaze News previously reported.

Following Daniels’ testimony, her former attorney Michael Avenatti posted a scathing statement on X. Avenatti, who had been disbarred and is currently serving time in a federal penitentiary, claimed Daniels had committed the same crime Trump was being accused of in the case.

He explained that he was contacted last year by a producer working on a documentary about Daniels. He had considered participating in the documentary until he learned that Daniels was getting paid for it, calling it “a clear indication to me that the project lacked integrity, would be one-sided, and controlled by Daniels.”

Additionally, Avenatti claimed that the producer told him that Daniels was going to be “secretly paid” to hide the money because “she owed Trump hundreds of thousands of dollars” following a defamation suit.

Burgeoning Sex Scandal Pits Biden Against His Biggest Backers at Critical Moment

/2 Comments/in , , /by

A new report sheds light on a pervasive culture of sexual harassment plaguing a major federal entity under the watch of President Joe Biden.

Law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton was tasked with investigating the workplace at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) in 2023, and released its 234-page report on Tuesday. Throughout the investigation, 500 individuals, close to one-in-ten employees at the entire FDIC, reported “experiences of sexual harassment, discrimination, and other interpersonal misconduct” in the workplace to the firm’s tip line.

The incidents reported to the firm, the report said, “did not occur in a vacuum,” and were rather the result of a “misogynistic,” “patriarchal,” “insular” and “outdated” workplace. In its executive summary, the firm pulled out specific accounts of such sexual harassment that it discovered during its investigation.

“Women in one field office recounted how, to their dismay, it became routine to hear their supervisor talk about their breasts and legs and his sex life,” the report stated.

“A woman examiner reported on the shock of receiving a picture of an FDIC senior examiner’s private parts out of the blue while serving on detail in a field office, only to be told later by others in that field office that she should stay away from him because he had a ‘reputation,’” the firm reported.

‘Extremely Troubling’: Biden Official Suspended for Unnerving Reason

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two GOP lawmakers claimed Monday to have discovered the reason why Robert Malley, President Joe Biden’s special envoy for Iran, was suspended from his role.

Pending a federal investigation, Malley was suspended without pay and had his security clearance revoked in June 2023 with little reason given as to why. Republican Idaho Sen. James Risch and Texas Rep. Mike McCaul sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday saying that their “own investigations have uncovered” that Malley was put under investigation and on leave because “he allegedly transferred classified documents to his personal email account and downloaded these documents to his personal cell phone,” according to The Washington Post.

“It is unclear to whom he intended to provide these documents, but it is believed that a hostile cyber actor was able to gain access to his email and/or phone and obtain the downloaded information,” the lawmakers wrote.

McCaul and Risch asked Blinken in the letter to answer a series of questions about their findings, including how many classified documents Malley was handling, whether he attempted to send them to another party, whether a “malign cyber actor” — such as the Iranian regime — gained access to his phone, and whether he has received warnings from the State Department before about his handling of classified material.

“The allegations we have been privy to are extremely troubling and demand immediate answers,” McCaul and Risch wrote in the letter to Blinken. “These allegations have substantial impact on our national security and people should be held accountable swiftly and strongly. We look forward to your immediate response.” (Read more from “‘Extremely Troubling’: Biden Official Suspended for Unnerving Reason” HERE)

Report: This Everyday Food May Help Prevent Diabetes

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suggested that incorporating yogurt into one’s diet could potentially help in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to recent announcements.

In March, the FDA declared its non-objection to a claim from Danone North America, the producer of various popular yogurt brands, stating that regular consumption of yogurt might lower the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. This decision implies that the FDA is willing to permit the claim on yogurt food labels, provided it is accurately worded and complies with specified criteria.

“While the evidence supporting a relationship between yogurt intake and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes is somewhat limited, it is credible enough to merit consideration,” the FDA stated in its announcement.

The health claim approved by the FDA falls under the category of a “qualified claim,” indicating that while the evidence is not conclusive, it suggests potential health benefits. According to Sherry Coleman Collins, a dietitian specializing in food allergies from the Atlanta metropolitan area, regular consumption, defined as at least 2 cups (3 servings) per week of yogurt, is necessary to potentially benefit from this claim.

Collins emphasized the overall health-promoting properties of yogurt, particularly when part of a diet rich in plant-based foods, proteins, and fermented dairy. She highlighted the significance of live, active cultures in yogurt, which contribute to a healthy gut microbiome and are associated with reduced disease risk, including type 2 diabetes.

When selecting yogurt, Collins recommended opting for varieties low in added sugars. She praised plain Greek yogurt for its high protein and calcium content, suggesting that its sweetness can be adjusted by adding honey or fruit according to personal preference.

FBI Admits to Staging Trump Crime Scene Photo with Props

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Recent revelations have surfaced regarding the infamous crime scene photo depicting classified documents allegedly discovered at Mar-a-Lago, fueling widespread speculation about Trump’s involvement. The photo, featuring stark red “classification” cover sheets, captured public attention in the aftermath of the raid, prompting intense scrutiny from media outlets.

New developments have shed light on the origins of the cover sheets featured in the photo. In a recent court filing, it was disclosed that FBI agents had brought the cover sheets to the scene to mark classified documents, using them as placeholders. However, discrepancies emerged regarding the accurate matching of these placeholders with the corresponding documents.

According to Waltine Nauta, Trump’s defense attorney, the placeholders brought by the FBI were not appropriately aligned with the classified documents seized during the raid. This discrepancy was highlighted in Nauta’s filing, indicating a potential flaw in the investigation process.

Further scrutiny revealed that a significant number of documents, over a hundred in total, bore classification markings, with some accompanied by colored cover sheets denoting their classified status. However, it was disclosed that the FBI agents failed to accurately match these cover sheets with the respective documents during the staging process.

The gravity of this oversight was underscored by Kelly’s report, which suggested that misplacement of placeholders could jeopardize the integrity of the case, particularly if crucial documents were mishandled. This revelation raises concerns about the potential impact on the espionage charges levied against Trump, as several documents implicated in the case may have been mishandled during the investigation.

In response to these revelations, FBI spokesperson Bratt acknowledged that the placeholders had been rearranged at the scene and conceded that not all of them were correctly matched with the corresponding documents. This admission underscores the complexities surrounding the investigation and raises questions about the reliability of the evidence presented.

‘You Are a Liar, a Thief, and a Villain’: Biden Scorched for Absurd Claim

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Perhaps it was an untrained intern, perhaps not, but the claim comes out of Joe Biden’s campaign for re-election and it’s getting scorched online.

It’s the wild statement that “Wages are rising faster than prices” and “We’re making real progress.”

The campaign actually said, “Wages are rising faster than prices, incomes are higher than before the pandemic, and unemployment has remained below 4% for the longest stretch in 50 years. We have more to do to lower costs for hardworking families, but we’re making real progress.” . . .

It was NewsnationNow that reported, “For most of the Biden presidency — every month from April 2021 to April 2023 — price increases have outpaced wage growth, eating away at consumers’ purchasing power.”
