On May 6th, the 2024 Annual Report of the Boards of Trustees of the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund was released. It’s a very long title for a report that simply tells us the financial state of Medicare and project the future financial solvency of the program. One claim of the report is Medicare solvency has been extended 5 more years than the 2023 projection, and won’t go broke until 2036. But as with all things involving the Biden Administration, that isn’t the entire story.The 261-page report should be a purely factual...

A leading climate scientist has suggested a virulent pandemic killing swathes of the human population is the only way to reduce carbon emissions enough to halt climate change. Professor Bill McGuire was previously a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), a British government body that advised politicians on the Covid pandemic response. He also helped author a report for the notorious Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nations (UN) body that has helped drive climate policy globally despite making a slew of errors. “If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions...

In a bid to outflank Biden for the women's vote, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. came out in favor of abortion at any time and for any reason up until birth, saying "every baby's death is a tragedy. Many of them leave permanent trauma on a woman. But I think, ultimately, I don't trust government to have jurisdiction over people's bodies." This announcement stunned RFK's running mate Nicole Shanahan who insisted "that is not Bobby's position, at least as far as I understand it. My understanding is that he absolutely believes in limits on abortion, and we've talked...

Leftist news outlet The Huffington Post responded angrily to Donald Trump’s suggestion that drug kingpins and child sex traffickers should face the death penalty. In an article headlined “There’s A GOP Plan For An Execution Spree If Trump Wins The White House,” the outlet highlights remarks Trump made two years ago. Trump said that while it “sounds horrible” to advocate for the death penalty, countries that don’t have a “drug problem” are “those that institute a very quick trial, death penalty sentence” for traffickers. “You execute a drug dealer, and you’ll save 500 lives, because they kill on average 500...

In an embarrassing blunder, Joe Biden, the oldest White House resident in U.S. history, called North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un the President of South Korea during a campaign reception in Portola Valley, California. The blunder occurred on Friday as Biden criticized former President Donald Trump, for his friendly and peaceful relations with world leaders. “We’ll never forget his love letters for the South Korean President Kim Jong Un or his admiration for Putin — what a great leader Putin is,” Biden said. Daily Mail reported:

In a recent Senate Committee briefing, Dr. Robert Califf, the head of the FDA, announced proactive measures being implemented in preparation for a potential bird flu pandemic that could prove deadly to a significant portion of the infected population. He highlighted that while the risk of transmission to humans remains low, the agency is not taking any chances, according to Daily Mail. Dr. Califf reported that only one human case has been confirmed so far—a farm worker in Texas this past March. Despite this, the potential for the virus to mutate and spread to humans necessitates rigorous preparedness. The Texas...

We are witnessing an explosion of cancer in the United States that is absolutely unprecedented. As you will see below, it is being projected that the number of new cases of cancer in the U.S. will hit a brand new record high this year, and cancer rates are rising particularly rapidly among our young people. There have been so many prominent individuals in the news that have been diagnosed with cancer recently, and so many people that I personally know have also been diagnosed with cancer recently. I am sure that most of you also personally know people that have...

Official data published by the UK regarding cancer occurrence rates and deaths is contradictory. Those who have attempted to make sense of the data have been dismissed without any serious attempt by criticisers to delve into the data themselves. So, HART reviewed the UK cancer data and, to resolve the conflict in the data from different UK sources, briefly reviewed data from other countries. “The denial of the rise in cancer deaths by ministers in the Health Department is a denial of reality,” HART concluded. Many of our readers will be aware of the claims of a rise in cancers...

If we the people can not unite and stand together now, then what exactly are we?https://gregreese.substack.com/For decades, Ray Kurzweil has been an unofficial spokesman for the trans-humanist movement. And in 2008 he said that humans would become infused with nano-robots which would vastly improve the human body.“If you go out even to 2045, that's only, you know, four decades from now, most of our intelligence, of our civil... of our human civilization will be non-biological. We're going to put this inside our bodies and brains. So we're going to become machines, but not... and if you say that people go,...

Never forget the wild ride the so-called “experts” and elites took us on during the COVID pandemic—all in the name of safety and health. They scared everyone half to death and had us doing the most absurd things, making us look like fools. Remember the COVID “crop circles”? As if sitting six feet apart could magically save you from an airborne virus. It’s unbelievable that so many people bought into this nonsense, but they did—and in droves. And then there were those “arrows” in grocery stores, implying that if you just followed the direction, you’d magically dodge the virus. People...

It's high time we addressed a growing concern in the restaurant industry: portion sizes and the rise of "Fat-flation." Somewhere along the line in American culinary history, the amount of food served in restaurants became a point of pride for many of us. We'd either polish off every last morsel on our plates, take home leftovers, or sadly, let them languish in the fridge for days before tossing them out. What a waste. After four decades of Americans packing on the pounds, and all the health issues that come with it, it's clear we need a change. Both restaurants and...

VIDEO If they ever make a "The Sorrow and The Pity" type documentary about medical people selling their souls out for Big Pharma money in the era of COVID, these clips of Sanjay Gupta hyping vaccines for children on a CNN/Sesame Street Special in November 2021 just WEEKS after being confronted with devastating stats on the rate of Myocarditis in boys who took the COVID vax on Joe Rogan in October 2021 should definitely appear in the film. Did Sanjay Gupta know at the time that he was to appear on that Sesame Street special to hype the vaccine for...

Misinformation professor who alerted Twitter to "conspiracy theory," that vaccines mandates were coming, coauthors papers with CDC scientists for publisher caught hiding Wuhan funder's conflict of interest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention repeatedly warned the public to reject purported misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines even after contradicting its then-director's certainty that the rushed-through therapeutics stop infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Rochelle Walensky kept promoting the claim, which she knew was false just a month after emergency use authorization, as late as April 2023, several months after former White House COVID adviser Deborah Birx said she "knew" the vaccines...

Italy's Senate passed a law which allows regions to permit groups "with a qualified experience supporting motherhood" to have access to women considering abortions at public clinics. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said "allowing those with a pro-life message into abortion clinics is intended to fully inform women. I believe that we must guarantee a free choice and I believe that to make a free choice you need to have all the necessary information." Silvana Agatone, president of the pro-choice association LAIGA, objected to the law saying "these pro-life advocates don't have the medical training or the credentials to give accurate...

I’d been reluctant to say this, but now I think it is time…that the ban on smoking is responsible for all this. Been downhill ever since. The rats are out in the open. The good people are in hiding. As at Columbia U, where thousands there and elsewhere are staging an American Kristallnacht. Yes, I know, smoking cigarettes can be hazardous to your health, second-hand smoke included, but back then, before 1995, people had choices. It was live and let live. I smoke a pipe. Can’t write without a pipe, and please spare me the lectures. Sometimes I join the...

A government funded LGBT activist group that is active in more than half of Scotland’s schools has called puberty blocking drugs, which effectively sterilise children, “wonderful.” LGBT Youth Scotland, which is registered as a charity, has also declared that children should have the “autonomy” to decide whether to take puberty blockers without the views of their parents interfering. The group, which receives almost £1 million per year in taxpayer funding, issued a statement in opposition to a decision to suspend the prescription of the drugs to children by the country’s gender reassignment centre, Sandyford Clinic in Glasgow. The Telegraph reports...

This is a major victory for freedom. Have you heard about the WHO pandemic treaty? They have been working on a treaty which would threaten free speech and national sovereignty. If it went through, it would essentially mean that they could CENSOR speech that the WHO deemed to be misinformation. They could also force countries to vaccinate people and implement vaccine passports. But now there is good news - They are BACKING DOWN! In the latest draft of the WHO pandemic treaty, they appear to be BACKING DOWN, removing some of the most draconian rules. This doesn't mean that everything...

Four years ago, the media birthed one of the biggest fictions that it pushed during the COVID-19 pandemic: that Donald Trump told Americans to inject themselves with bleach. He did no such thing, but the desperate Biden campaign wants you to think so. Biden-Harris HQ @BidenHQ Four years ago today, Trump told Americans to inject bleach on national television The false claim originated from the White House Coronavirus Task Force Briefing on April 23, 2020. During the briefing, Trump and others discussed possible COVID-19 treatments, including UV light treatments. The portion of the quote featured in the video from Biden's...

A horrifying video has emerged showing the moment an evil Michigan caregiver assaulted a 93-year-old dementia patient, and the victim’s daughter is speaking out. According to WEYI, the incident occurred at Landings of Genesee Valley in Flint, Michigan on April 4, but the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office obtained and released footage of the assault Thursday during a press conference. The sick footage shows the perpetrator repeatedly smashing a full diaper over the elderly woman’s head while she sits in her wheelchair and raises her arms. The sinister caregiver then chokes the woman in the bathroom before violently slapping her in...

Gosar on Friday joined Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie in their effort to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson. The House of Representatives on Friday advanced a foreign aid bill that allocates billions of dollars to Ukraine and Israel. “Nearly 11 million illegal aliens have crossed our southern border in the past three years. My congressional district in Arizona, ground zero for the invasion, is getting pummeled by the surge of lawbreakers. These illegal aliens have brought violent crime, deadly drugs, human trafficking and are depleting resources and services meant for U.S. citizens. In fact, every state has become a...
