Pass this on to anyone who told you "to follow the science" during the pandemic.
A billionaire oncologist just went on national television and said the words millions have been waiting to hear publicly. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong – the surgeon who invented the nanoparticle chemotherapy Abraxane, sold companies for billions, and now owns the LA Times – appeared

The CIA has never worked for the US government. EVER. They originally came from Wall Street bankers, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Whitney companies and Ivy League Secret Societies. They were used in the OSS to protect US/UK company partnerships in Germany from bombing campaigns. They

Isn't this why we offer self deportation with $1k kicker?
IMO- you can’t simply cut off food, housing and medical “benefits” to illegals. The humane thing to do at this point is send them back to their country of origin. Anything short of that is setting us up for civil war.

Consistency? Europe supports Ukraine sinking civilian ships but not the US sinking Venezuelan ships?
The Panamanian-flagged and Turkish-owned oil tanker, M/T MERSIN, alleged to be affiliated with the Russian Shadow Fleet, is currently sinking off the coast of Dakar, Senegal in Western Africa, after reportedly coming under attack overnight by several uncrewed surface vessels, in

The paradigm has changed. We no will no longer require immigration to support economic growth. I have long hepd that not migration was critical to ensure the US growth. With AI, automation, and @elonmusk, that has all changed. Our economy can grow without an increase in
🇺🇸 ELON ON AI: “IN LESS THAN 20 YEARS, WORKING AT ALL WILL BE OPTIONAL” "I think it will actually be that people don’t have to work at all. My prediction is less than 20 years. Working at all will be optional, like a hobby, pretty much. And that would be because of increased

What stands in the way of fully understanding why the US Congress was able to pass budgets that reduced the outstanding debt 80 times in its history but not once since 1957? https://t.co/WZyPAv9WO0 If you don’t believe this, download the entire history of the US Fiscal Treasury

Today's humor! It's great!
A Chinese doctor moved to the U.S. and couldn't find a job at a hospital. So he opened a small clinic and put up a bold sign that read: “Cure for $20 — If you’re not cured, get $100 back!” One day, a clever American lawyer saw the sign. “This looks like a scam,” he thought,

Prices increase when demand is higher than supply (econ 101). Would removing 600,000 students increase spare capacity at colleges and universities thereby lowering costs (tuition)?
President Donald Trump’s proposal to allow 600,000 students from China to attend American universities continues to meet resistance from voters. More At Rasmussen Reports: https://t.co/AaTHxny4NK

Do you support the continued US use of the Monroe Doctrine? The Monroe Doctrine was a key U.S. foreign policy statement announced in 1823 by President James Monroe during his annual message to Congress. In simple terms, it said: The Americas (North and South America) are no

If there is an air war over Venezuela, US troops will be shot at by US made weapons. The United States sold 24 F-16 fighter jets to Venezuela in 1983. This was the first F-16 export to Latin America, with Venezuela signing the agreement in May 1982 under the U.S. Foreign

Venezuela attacking our elections through the installation of rigged code is an act of war. There is no greater undermining of a country’s sovereignty. Yes, Congress’s role is to declare war. But the President does not have to wait for Congress to get their shit together in
