President" After Historic Price-Cut Deal
With Drug Makers 6 replies
President Donald Trump on Saturday declared himself the "affordability president" for making historic deals with drug makers to lower prescription prices as he implored Republicans to make a better case for how much prices are easing in America ahead of next year's mid-term elections. "Because I have invoked favored nations status or the United States of America, drug prices are falling at rates never seen before: 500%, 600%, 700% and more," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Better Under 65 10 replies
Two years ago, Pfizer anticipated that sales of its rebound-prone Covid-19 antiviral Paxlovid and fully approved Covid vaccine Comirnaty would plummet, but good news appeared on the horizon: The drugmaker's mRNA flu vaccine did well in phase 3 trials in ages 18-64, and Pfizer expected to release results from the 65-and-up cohort "later this year." The results are finally in: Compared to a standard flu shot, the mRNA vaccine was associated with six times as many adverse reactions as infections prevented in adults under 65, and outright failed in elderly people, associated with more deaths and both minor and serious injuries, from injection-site swelling to kidney problems.

The Afghan national who has been charged with shooting two members of the West Virginia National Guard this week was reportedly a member of the elite Afghan "Zero Unit" forces backed by the CIA -- with the U.S. spy agency apparently having struck a deal to bring thousands of the fighters and their families to the United States. . . . the terms of the deal were that if the Zeroes helped secure Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) during the chaotic non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) . . . the fighters and their families would earn an airlift to the U.S..

My Shark Tank companies hate selling on Amazon but most don't have a choice. about 162 Americans shop there, and if you want to reach them, you have to play by Amazon's rules. Amazon knows this and takes full advantage . . . Insurance companies work the same way. More than 300 million Americans have some kind of coverage -- commercial, Medicare, or Medicaid. Every one of those plans hires a Pharmacy Benefit Manager, or PBM, to run drug benefits. Three giant PBM's -- all owned by the biggest insurance companies -- control pharmacy benefits for 270 million Americans.
In our latest undercover investigation, we exposed an apparent covert effort inside the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) the non-partisan watchdog Congress created to keep the Federal Government honest and efficient -- to sabotage the administration's overhaul of the Department of Health and Human Services. Steven Putansu, a 16-year veteran and current Assistant Director at the GAO, was recorded on camera openly admitting that his colleagues "stole and backed up" vaccine data that the Department of Health and Human Services, now led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., had allegedly deleted.

Replace Outgoing Mayor, Endangering Cooperation
With Trump 6 replies
The retirement of longtime Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, has the potential to shake up the relationship between the Trump administration and the nation's capital city. Under President Donald Trump, Washington has become ground zero for the administration's efforts to boost immigration enforcement and reduce urban crime. The mayor's office, despite trading rhetorical barbs with the president, has been remarkably cooperative . . . But the battle to replace Bowser could pit business-friendly centrists against progressive Democrats, creating uncertainty in the White House about what kind of leadership it will contend with when the dust settles.

The gunman who is alleged to have ambushed and wounded two National Guard troops near the White House worked with CIA-backed paramilitary units during the U.S. war in Afghanistan, Director John Ratcliffe revealed Thursday.

California gubernatorial candidate and Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell claimed that members of the military are telling him that they can be a "check" on President Donald Trump. On Don Lemon's show Monday, Swalwell discussed the controversy over a video of six Democratic lawmakers urging service members to "refuse illegal orders" from Trump. The Department of War later announced on X that it launched a formal review into allegations of misconduct against Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, for appearing in the video?
- If we are living in an age of lawfare, this is fast becoming a war of attrition. The dismissal of the indictment of James Comey and Letitia James is the latest twist in the controversial prosecutions of Trump antagonists. Letitia James immediately posted her own message celebrating the decision, but she may want to focus on the prepositional phrase after the word dismissal: without prejudice. The Administration may still be able to resuscitate the case.
Friday night, X released a long requested profile update revealing the location of users, including anonymous users. A few glorious hours following that initial and immediately legendary release, the feature was temporarily shut down as the American commentariat erupted in surprised Pikachu shock at the revelation that much of our domestic online discourse is shaped by catfishing rage farmers from the Third World, the ranks of which include many popular anonymous accounts.

President Donald Trump late Thursday said that the United States may “almost completely” eliminate the income tax due to the rising tariff revenue.
n the next couple of years, I think we’ll substantially be cutting, or maybe cutting out completely, but we’ll be cutting income tax,” Trump said during an event on Thursday.
“Could be almost completely cutting it because the money we’re taking in is going to be so large,” he added.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in June projected that the tariff increases will reduce the federal deficit by $2.8 trillion over the next decade.

The Afghan man accused of gunning down two National Guard members blocks from the White House last week had been unraveling for years, unable to hold a job and flipping between long, lightless stretches of isolation and taking sudden weeks-long cross-country drives. His behavior deteriorated so sharply that a community advocate reached out to a refugee organization for help, fearing he was becoming suicidal. Emails obtained by The Associated Press reveal mounting warnings about the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an asylum seeker whose erratic conduct raised alarms long before the attack that jolted the nation’s capital on the eve of Thanksgiving.

It wasn't a surprise when we learned about the latest testimony release from the House Oversight Committee; it felt more like the confirmation of what Americans had long sensed.Working inside the White House, staff understood that the man they placed before the camera couldn't lead the country, yet they said so privately while publicly denying it.
Writing at our sister site, Twitchy, Doug P. shared the testimony.The staff knew the presidency had become nothing more than a managed performance: They moved him, dressed him, staged him, guided him, and fed him lines.
When former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi moved to England a year ago they put the blame firmly on Donald Trump.

(SNIP) A source said: 'Ellen was adamant that she and Portia were going to stay in the UK while Trump was in the White House, but evidently she's changed her mind somewhat. 'She's been telling friends they are coming home soon because they miss

If an allied pilot had bombed a Nazi freight train headed for Auschwitz with a load of Zyklon B gas would he have been prosecuted for a war crime? What if he had returned to bomb it a second time to assure that the target was fully destroyed?
