New research shows the average price of cancer drugs has increased 10-fold, from $5,000 in 2000 to more than $100,000 by 2012. At the same time, the average US household income has decreased by about eight percent.
More than 100 oncologists participated in research which found that, on average, Americans are paying 50 to 100 percent more for the same patented cancer drugs than patients in other countries. They argued the high costs are affecting patient care and the American health care system overall. Continue reading “Price of cancer treatment skyrockets as doctors scramble for solutions”

Breitbart Texas has exhausted every possible source in both U.S. and Mexican law enforcement to compile the names and images of the current Mexican Gulf cartel leadership and core members. Some of these individuals and their images have never been exposed in the public square.

They are forced into hiding and can no longer enjoy their money or properly lead their organized criminal enterprises. Continue reading “Secret Leaders of the Mexican Gulf Cartel Exposed”

Yet they still do nothing about it even though they have all of the power and ability to do so. Typical. More dog and pony show.
AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Sheriffs, the Lieutenant Governor, and experts in immigration related issues met at the State Capitol on Wednesday to discuss the federal government’s creation of a sanctuary state for criminal aliens through its Priority Enforcement Program (PEP).

The police and surveillance state predicted in the forward-looking 1940s classic “1984” by George Orwell, has slowly, but steadily, come to fruition. However, like a frog sitting idly in a pan of steadily-warming water, too many Americans still seem unaware that the slow boil of big government is killing their constitutional liberties.
The latest sign of this stealth takeover of civil rights and freedom was epitomized in recent Senate testimony by FBI Director James Comey, who voiced his objections to civilian use of encryption to protect personal data – information the government has no automatic right to obtain. Continue reading “FBI says that citizens should have no secrets that the government can’t access: the Orwellian cyber police state has arrived”
