The news came out this morning that the second American nurse diagnosed with Ebola flew on a plane with 132 other passengers from Cleveland, Ohio to Dallas, Texas.  Amber Vinson had a low-grade fever when she boarded the plane, and was admitted to Texas Presbyterian Hospital just hours after disembarking.

The latest horror?

Not only were 132 people who flew with Vinson exposed to Ebola.    Continue reading “The “”Ebola Plane” Made Five More Flights Before It Was Grounded”

NEW YORK (AP) – A man who served nearly 30 years in prison for murder was ordered freed Wednesday after prosecutors concluded he falsely confessed when he was 16.

David McCallum and the late Willie Stuckey’s convictions were thrown out Wednesday, at Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson’s request. Thompson said their convictions hinged on untrue confessions, made by teenagers, rife with inaccuracies and peppered with details seemingly supplied by police.   Continue reading “2 men cleared in 1985 NYC kidnapping, killing”

Amid outrage from religious groups, Mayor Annise Parker and City Attorney David Feldman on Wednesday appeared to back off a subpoena request for the sermons of certain ministers opposed to the city’s equal rights ordinance, with Parker calling it overly broad.

The subpoenas, handed down to five pastors and religious leaders last month, came to light this weekwhen attorneys for the group of pastors filed a motion to quash the request. Though Feldman stood behind the subpoena in an interview  Tuesday, he and Parker  said during the Mayor’s weekly press conference Wednesday that the wording was problematic.   Continue reading “Mayor, city attorney distance themselves from sermon subpoenas”

Without a doubt, a highly decorated, four-star Marine Corps General has courage and conviction. But this particular Marine — Gen. John Kelly, head of the U.S. Southern Command — has demonstrated real guts by coming right out and saying something that his own Commander-in-Chief might not like to hear.

While President Obama calls for more health screenings at a handful of U.S. airports, Gen. Kelly argues that the real threat of a domestic Ebola outbreak could come sweeping across the southern border…which has nothing to do with air travel into the United States.   Continue reading “This Top Marine General Just Courageously Broke Rank To Deliver A Crushing Blow To Obama”

A Canadian-made experimental vaccine against Ebola is about to begin human trials and holds our best hope for immunizing those at risk. The big question, however, is whether or not it be ready in time to stop the spread of this deadly disease.

At this point the vaccine, dubbed VSV-EBOV,  has proven to be 100% effective in primates, both in preventing sickness and increasing survival rates in infected individuals when given promptly after diagnosis.   Continue reading “Human trials set to begin for Ebola vaccine: What does that mean?”

A man wearing a surgical mask and a woman got onto a bus in Los Angeles Monday afternoon. He proclaimed, “I have Ebola!” Moments later, he threw the mask on the ground, and they both got off the bus.

Now, the FBI is involved in trying to track down the man, with an investigation being treated as a possible terrorist or criminal threat, according to Los Angeles Metro officials.   Continue reading “Yelling ‘I have Ebola!’ on a bus can get you arrested”

In the coming year, banks in the United States are likely to replace debit or credit cards with versions that have tiny computer chips embedded in them, a move aimed at making shopping in stores more secure.

Bank of America, for instance, has just announced that, beginning this month, all new bank customers will be issued debit cards with chip technology, and that existing cards will be upgraded as they expire. The cards work by creating a unique code for each transaction. While the change will not necessarily stop data breaches from occurring, security experts say, the chip technology prevents criminals from using stolen information to create counterfeit cards. Most credit and debit cards in the United States rely on older “€œmagnetic strip” technology, which is vulnerable to hacking.   Continue reading “Banks in U.S. Moving to Chip-Based Debit and Credit Cards”

For upwards of a decade, Wisconsin’s small raw-milk producers have been doing battle with the state’s Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, as well as the courts and politicians. DATCP has refused to allow the farms to distribute milk privately, which they insist is their right under the U.S. Constitution. Gayle Loiselle is a Wisconsin resident who has been in the middle of the battles, both as a member of a herd share and as a political activist. She is due to be discussing the history and politics of raw milk in Wisconsin tomorrow (Thursday) on Wisconsin Public Radio’s Joy Cardin Show at 6 a.m. (Central). In this analysis, she provides insights into the real stakes now before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.   Continue reading “Will WI Supreme Court Do Its Duty To Uphold U.S. Constitution In Food Rights Cases?”

A new poll released Wednesday shows that a majority of Americans support ‘gay marriage.’ The group with the largest percentage expressing support was practicing Jewish Americans, 83% of whom came out in favor, despite homosexuality being expressly forbidden by Judaism.

The survey, which polled 4,500 Americans, was conducted by the non-partisan Public Religion Research Institute. It found that 53% of Americans support gay marriage, reports AFP. That figure indicates a significant rise from ten years prior; in 2003, American public support for same-sex marriage was at 32%.   Continue reading “83% of American Jews Support ‘Gay Marriage’”

One test per year not related to a specific illness under Medicare? So much for preventive medicine.

In recent weeks we have been telling you about a new FDA proposal to increase its control over low-cost laboratory-developed tests—including locally performed custom diagnostics and tests for rare conditions. Tests like these are the future of medicine. People will soon be able to test for and spot cancers long before they manifest themselves using current methods. Testing can already help prevent diabetes, heart and blood vessel illness, prostate cancer, and other diseases.   Continue reading “Government Puts Doctors in Stranglehold over Medical Testing and Diagnostics”

ObamaCare was crafted to suit the largest insurance companies, and now your tax dollars are subsidizing them.

The House Oversight Committee has issued a report called “ObamaCare’s Taxpayer Bailout of Health Insurers and the White House’s Involvement to Increase Bailout Size.” The report states that ObamaCare contains $1 billion in bailouts in 2014 alone for insurance companies who offer coverage in the individual and small group market. The subsidies are set to expire in 2016.   Continue reading “Taxpayers Are Bailing Out the Insurance Companies—to the Tune of $1 Billion This Year Alone!”

Cancer pioneer Stanislaw Burzynski has just won the first round of a new and particularly underhanded attack from the TMB.

We have been telling you about Dr. Burzynski’s lifesaving antineoplaston treatment, and the persecution he has received at the hand of the Texas Medical Board. This time the TMB filed a 200-page complaint against him, which focused on alleged “FDA violations”—i.e., FDA warning letters about some minor recordkeeping deficiencies in his recently approved phase 2 clinical trials and some promotional claims for the antineoplastons. The TMB claimed that these technical violations of the federal statute were de facto violations of the state medical practice law.   Continue reading “Texas Medical Board as Out of Control as Ever”
