OMB Director Russell Vought: If Trump’s bill fails, expect recession and 60% tax increase

Fox News, Approved, National / / , , , , , , , , , ,

The White House is challenging the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s assessment that President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending package will raise the federal deficit by trillions of dollars throughout the next decade.

The national debt, currently $36.2 trillion, tracks what the U.S. owes its creditors, while the national deficit measures how much the federal government’s spending exceeds its revenues. So far, the federal government has spent more than $1 trillion more than it has collected this fiscal year, according to the Department of the Treasury.

RFK Jr.: It’s time for real vaccine accountability—and HHS just took the first step

The Wall Street Journal, Approved, Commentary, National / / , , , , , , , , ,

Vaccines have become a divisive issue in American politics, but there is one thing all parties can agree on: The U.S. faces a crisis of public trust. Whether toward health agencies, pharmaceutical companies or vaccines themselves, public confidence is waning.

Some would try to explain this away by blaming misinformation or antiscience attitudes. To do so, however, ignores a history of conflicts of interest, persecution of dissidents, a lack of curiosity, and skewed science that has plagued the vaccine regulatory apparatus for decades.
That is why, under my direction, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is putting the restoration of public trust above any pro- or antivaccine agenda. The public must know that unbiased science guides the recommendations from our health agencies. This will ensure the American people receive the safest vaccines possible.

‘I did nothing wrong’: Mike Lindell stands firm in Denver defamation trial

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said he is on a crusade to get rid of electronic voting machines in favor of hand-counted paper ballots and he’s hoping his defamation trial will provide a “gateway” to keeping the conversation alive.

Lindell took the stand on Monday to defend himself in the federal defamation trial against him. The proceeding is starting its second, and likely final, week.

A former employee of Dominion Voting Systems filed the defamation lawsuit in U.S. District Court, saying he was unfairly accused of rigging the 2020 election for Joe Biden.

Hunter: More than a price tag—what that doggie in the window really cost

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, National, Top Stories / / , ,

How much is that doggie in the window?

Remember this cheerful tune? It’s a jingle from another era, when the dream of a family pet felt as simple as a walk past a shop window. But today, that question echoes with heavier meaning.

In the aftermath of COVID-19, animal shelters across the country are overwhelmed—not with hopeful adopters, but with returned, surrendered, and abandoned dogs. What was once a feel-good moment, the impulse to bring home a furry companion during lockdown, has for many turned into complete heartbreak.

After Boulder firebombing, DHS revamps ICE tip line to stop future attacks

The Western Journal, Approved, National / / , , , , , , ,

After a horrific anti-Semitic attack last weekend, the Department of Homeland Security is “revamping” the way Americans can help prevent any future atrocities from happening again.

On June 1, a peaceful pro-Israeli gathering calling for the continued release of hostages held by Hamas terrorists was violently attacked.

A maniac wielding incendiary devices — the weapons have been described as both “flamethrower” and Molotov cocktail-like — attacked the group in Boulder, Colorado, injuring 12, two badly, in the process.

Reports began circulating that the alleged perpetrator, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was an Egyptian national who had overstayed his visa, making this a matter of national security, on top of it being a seeming hate crime.

Due to that factor, DHS is now turning to everyday American citizens that can help prevent future similar attacks.

‘So, arrest me’: Newsom taunts border czar as ICE riots rage

Daily Wire, Approved, National / / , , , , , , , , , , ,

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the Trump administration on Sunday and dared border czar Tom Homan to arrest him amid the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles County.

Trump drew the ire of California Democrats, such as Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, after he deployed the National Guard to shut down the riots that broke out over the weekend. Homan then warned Newsom and Bass against impeding federal law enforcement officers and threatened them with arrest if they “cross[ed]” the line.” The California governor shot back, imploring the Trump administration to keep their “hands off these poor people” who are “just trying to live their lives.”

UPDATE: Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said in a Sunday evening press conference that the violence was “getting increasingly worse and more violent.”

“This violence that I’ve seen, it’s disgusting,” McDonnell said, according to Fox News. “It’s escalated now, since the beginning of this incident. What we saw the first night was bad. What we’ve seen subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse and more violent.”

“We’ve seen people with hammers … breaking the bollards behind the federal building and taking the rocks. If you will, or pieces of concrete and throwing them at officers,” McDonnell added. “We’ve had liquid—of who knows what, description thrown at officers. There’s no limit to what they’re, doing to our officers,” he added.

Joondeph: Are vaccine injuries hiding behind the ‘long COVID’ label?

American Thinker, Approved, National / / , , , , , , ,

The COVID pandemic has resulted in widespread infection and vaccination throughout the United States. According to data from USAFacts, more than 81% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

96.4% of Americans have COVID antibodies in their blood, indicating previous infection. Most of these two groups overlap, and all vaccinated people should have COVID antibodies in their blood, as the vaccine prompts the body to produce spike proteins to elicit an immune response and facilitate antibody production.

Getting federal approval for permits to build bridges, wind farms, highways and other major infrastructure projects has long been a complicated and time-consuming process. Despite growing calls from both parties for Congress and federal agencies to reform that process, there had been few significant revisions – until now. In one fell swoop, the U.S. Supreme Court has changed a big part of the game.

President Trump signed an executive order Friday that could clear the skies for Boom Supersonic’s Overture, the sleek craft being designed and tested at Centennial Airport that could become the world’s first faster-than-sound jetliner since the Concorde’s final flight in 2003.

The White House described the order as one that ended “decades of stifling regulations” that had grounded U.S. efforts to reestablish supersonic airline flights.
