A dangerous US flu season is still striking the elderly and infants, federal health officials warned on Friday, and looks likely to continue for several weeks. One out of every 10 people who died in the US last week died of flu or associated illness.

Now in its 11th week of high activity, the current US influenza season is still active in 48 states, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This year’s flu is breaking records for hospitalizations and is on track to infect about 34 million Americans this season.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf on Friday ordered counties that plan to replace their electronic voting systems to buy machines that leave a paper trail — a safeguard against hacking — but his budget doesn’t include any money to fund the replacement of the state’s aging, increasingly vulnerable fleet.

The Democrat’s administration said the move to require that new systems include a paper backup will increase the security of voting systems and make balloting easier to audit.   Continue reading “Pennsylvania to require voting machines with paper backup”

They thought they had the right to get a second opinion. They thought they had the right as parents to have proof of a diagnosis before agreeing to a treatment plan.

When California parents Leah Beabout and Christopher Vega asked for medical evidence before doctors remove their 2 year old daughter’s kidney, the hospital called Child Protective Services and seized custody of their child.

Leah and their daughter Grace Alleluia had been visiting in Las Vegas when Leah felt a lump in her daughter’s side. An emergency room doctor told her that it was a mass that might be cancer and that she would need to have her kidney removed immediately. Asking for a second opinion triggered a nightmare cascade of events that they never saw coming.   Continue reading “California Parents Lose Custody of 2-Year Old Daughter When Asking for a Second Opinion Before Removing Child’s Kidney”

WMP NOTE: After the recent media uproar about the CDC Director Brenda Fitzgerald’s resignation, which focused on the inappropriateness of her ownership in tobacco stock, the WMP team decided to investigate further.  

What we uncovered is new technology that utilizes tobacco leaves to produce vaccines in a much shorter time frame and clinical trials are already underway using this new technology to produce flu vaccines here in the US. So maybe Fitzgerald’s stocks had nothing to do with smoking tobacco cessation and everything to do with vaccine production?   Continue reading “Using Tobacco to Make New Flu Vaccines: Was this Why the CDC Director Resigned?”

The measures will be outlined in the budget plan that Trump will send to Congress Monday, said four Office of Management and Budget officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the budget hasn’t been released.   Continue reading “‘Hire the best and fire the worst’: Trump proposes biggest civil service change in 40 years”

If you’re making a killing by using aliens for cheap labor, you had better be thinking about how you’re going to take a percentage of those billions and help subsidize for American Nationals’ health care. You’re helping to facilitate American Nationals deaths.

Those aliens are bringing in viruses that American Nationals are dying from, something the traitors in Washington don’t seem to give a damn about. I think it even goes farther than that, I think hedge fund giants are collaborating with biotech Frankenstein laboratories releasing man made viruses and collaborating with big pharma who already have cures.   Continue reading “Wealthy Using Illegals to Stuff Their Pockets – In More ways Than One”

“Global solution” means the individual is cut out of the equation, he doesn’t count, he doesn’t mean anything in the larger scheme of things, he’s just another pawn and cipher to move around on the board.

This is purposeful.

This is the script for the future: create problems whose only solution appears to be collective.   Continue reading “The Individual vs. Globalism”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is a well-known admirer of Nancy Reagan’s recommendation that kids “just say no” to drugs. It turns out he applies that advice not only to curious teenagers but also to people suffering from severe pain.

“I am operating on the assumption that this country prescribes too many opioids,” Sessions said during a speech at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tampa yesterday. “I mean, people need to take some aspirin sometimes and tough it out a little. That’s what Gen. Kelly—you know, he’s a Marine—[he] had surgery on his hands, painful surgery. [He said,] ‘I’m not taking any drugs!’ It did hurt, though. It did hurt. A lot of people—you can get through these things.”   Continue reading “Jeff Sessions’ Advice to Pain Patients: ‘Take Some Aspirin’ and ‘Tough It Out’”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. budget deal adopted by Congress on Friday includes what advocates call a landmark compromise to provide an estimated $1.5 billion over 10 years to try to keep struggling families together, including those with babies born dependent on opioids.

The provision allows assistance on mental health, substance abuse and parenting whenever any child is deemed at imminent risk of entering foster care. It also offers support for relatives who unexpectedly assume responsibility for a child when a parent cannot.   Continue reading “U.S. budget deals grants $1.5 billion for opioid-addicted babies, families”

Eugene Water & Electric Board commissioners changed course and adopted an “opt out” policy for so-called smart meters with a unanimous vote Tuesday night.

The decision means customers will have to contact EWEB and specifically direct that the meter attached to their home or business not transmit their electric and water usage data. Currently, meter readers visit customers’ properties monthly and take down that information.   Continue reading “EWEB decides customers must ‘opt out’ if they oppose ‘smart’ meters”
