The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reached an agreement with Abbott Nutrition on a plan to restart production at the Michigan baby formula plant to combat the shortage crisis. This past February, Abbott Nutrition instituted a recall after four illnesses were reported in babies who had consumed powdered formula from the Sturgis, Michigan plant, helping to fuel the ongoing baby formula shortage that has created considerable concern among parents. “After a six-week inspection, FDA investigators published a list of problems in March, including lax safety and sanitary standards and a history of bacterial contamination in several parts of the plant,” […]
By Michael Maharrey AUSTIN, Texas (May 16, 2022) – Austin voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure ending local enforcement of low-level marijuana offenses and banning no-knock warrants. Under Proposition A, the Austin police “shall not issue citations or make arrests for Class A or Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana offenses.” In effect, the measure decriminalizes possession of fewer than 4 ounces of cannabis. The new policy will allow police to confiscate marijuana. They can also pursue criminal charges if they can establish “a felony-level narcotics case.” Proposition A builds on a previous reform passed by the Austin City Council in […]

President Joe Biden’s apparent cognitive decline has been widely discussed, but another leader in the Democratic Party is signaling she might be facing similar struggles. During a Sunday interview with Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked whether Democratic leaders should have done more to prevent a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. For decades, Bash said, conservatives have been vocal about their desire to overturn Roe v.

Lawyer Charles Cooper, representing Mr. Cruz at the high court, said the limits were an unlawful […]

The assault rifle used to kill 10 at a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo on Saturday is the same model that was used to kill 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Connecticut a decade ago and that was used to kill 10 in sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., area in 2002. And so we begin the insane cycle again; mass murder followed by calls for a renewed assault weapons ban followed by ineffectual compromise followed by the sale of weapons of war used to perpetrate more domestic carnage. “This is my Bushmaster XM-15,” Payton Gendron, […]

WASHINGTON — A little-known military construction funding policy will likely prevent Congress from granting most of the Pentagon’s $5.7 billion unfunded priorities list for lab and testing infrastructure projects, many of which are too early in the planning and design process for lawmakers to consider. The U.S. Department of Defense in March sent lawmakers a list of 126 high priority projects across the military services’ labs and testing facilities that were left out of the fiscal 2023 budget request for military construction. Defense News obtained the report, which lists minor and major initiatives in areas including directed energy, hypersonic weapons, artificial […]
We expect destruction to come from something obviously terrible, such as nuclear war or a giant asteroid plunging towards Earth.

Deputies of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) are swatting down claims by pro-migration liberals that she helped cause the racist, anti-migrant shootings in Buffalo, New York. “Any implication or attempt to blame the heinous shooting in Buffalo on the Congresswoman is a new disgusting low for the Left, their Never Trump allies, and the sycophant stenographers in the media,” said Alex DeGrasse, a senior adviser to Stefanik.

In the latest Morgan Stanley Sunday Start note published over the weekend, which this time featured the bank’s chief US equity strategist, Michael Wilson (who after BofA’s Michael Hartnett, is easily the street’s second most bearish strategist), the bank’s strategist elevated his bearish view up another notch, writing that this bear market will not be over until one of two things happens: “either valuations fall to levels (14-15x) that discount the kind of earnings cuts we envision, or earnings estimates get cut.” Writing after the torrid Friday bear-market dead-cat bounce, it is no surprise that Wilson said that “with valuations now […]
In Kaja Kallas’ opinion, conversations are fruitless and do not let the Russian leader feel real “isolation” Estonia’s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has urged fellow world leaders to stop calling Vladimir Putin, as the international attention, in her opinion, prevents the Russian president from properly feeling his ‘isolation.’ In an interview with EURACTIV on Monday, Kallas suggested that, at present, amid Moscow’s ongoing military offensive in Ukraine, Putin “feels that he’s the center of attention because everybody wants to talk to him.” “I feel that if everybody is constantly calling him, he doesn’t get the message that he’s isolated. So if […]
(Natural News) The head of a top Israeli organization has accused the Canadian government of being complicit in the training of Ukrainian soldiers with strong ties to neo-Nazism. Efraim Zuroff, the Director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel, has denounced Canadian troops for providing the training, though Ottawa is denying culpability by using the excuse that Canadian forces did not vet the Ukrainian troops before providing the training — which is lame considering all Western governments have known for years that Ukrainian formations like the Azov Battalion have long ties to neo-Nazi beliefs. “The Canadian government has not paid […]

A white supremacist accused of murdering 10 people and injuring three more at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket previously mulled other locations, including schools, churches, and malls in multiple upstate and western New York cities like Rochester, his internet writings reveal.

The relentless collapse in global equities, offset by the occasional bear market rally like Friday’s, may have been ignored by the rest of the corporate world but that is changing. Indeed, with the drop in market cap for the MSCI ACWI World now $12 Trillion, SocGen’s Anderw Lapthorne cautions that to see this decline happening alongside a drop in debt markets is unusual, and its consequences are likely to reverberate throughout financial markets for some time.

(Natural News) The latest March reading of the Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer shows the weakest farmer sentiment since May 2020 near the beginning of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) plandemic. Dipping to a reading of 113 last month, the Ag Economy Barometer was 12 points lower than a month earlier, and 36 percent lower than in March 2021. The cause of this decline is weaker perceptions about current conditions and poor expectations for the future. “Compared to February, the March Index of Current Conditions declined 19 points to 113 and the Index of Future Expectations declined 9 points […]
