When the dermatologist was just on Fox News debunking the idea that some chemicals in sunscreen aren't good for us, it sounded illogically dismissive of the studies and research.

I took a quick look.

I didn’t hear her disclose her paid relationships with big sunscreen makers. ☀️

This is part of a trend that I discovered decades ago. It permeates our news media landscape.

I learned that nearly every member of the national board of experts that lowered cholesterol guidelines and basically recommended that people should take more statins, worked for the statin makers.

I learned that many members of the board set up during Covid that restricted hydroxychloroquine... were paid by the companies that made other controversial treatments for Covid like remdesivir that were then prioritized over hydroxychloroquine.

It doesn’t stop there.

When the government and the cosmetics industry tried to falsely debunk the scientific studies linking antiperspirants and breast cancer, they referred me to the American Cancer Society for an interview. I learned that the expert at the American Cancer Society hadn’t even read the relevant studies, and yet was claiming the link was a myth. I asked and found out that the American Cancer Society takes money from the antiperspirant industry and other allegedly cancer, causing industries. However, they wouldn’t tell me how much.

When the nonprofit “every child by" was illogically denying the proven vaccine autism link, I dug in and found out the nonprofit was actually started by a vaccine maker in order to defend vaccine companies, and to controversialist those of us exposing the risks.

I was the first journalist to ask and report that the expert the government kept referring us to in order to debunk the vaccine autism link, Dr. Paul Offit, was not an independent expert at all, but was a vaccine inventor and vaccine industry insider… though that was never disclosed in the media at the time. He was always presented falsely as if he were an independent expert.

When I saw a lead dietary group giving questionable advice about nutrition, I learned that the group takes money from the sugar, cola, fast food, and preservative snack industry.

In short, whenever I’ve looked for a tie between experts defending a chemical or risk that could impact an industry's bottom line... I’ve always found one. Food for thought.

"Dr. Jody Levine has financial and professional relationships with several prominent consumer product companies that manufacture and market sunscreens.
Because sunscreen is legally regulated as an over-the-counter drug and is a core component of commercial skincare lines, her consulting roles inherently create potential conflicts of interest when she recommends sun protection or reviews skincare products in the media. 

Her specific ties to major corporate sunscreen manufacturers include:

1. Johnson & Johnson / Kenvue

Dr. Levine has served on the Medical Advisory Board for Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson’s consumer health spin-off, Kenvue, owns Neutrogena and Aveeno, two of the largest and most widely distributed sunscreen brands in the United States. In her media and print features, she has regularly recommended product categories or specific options overlapping with these brands, such as recommending Neutrogena Sport Face in broad consumer media interviews. 

2. Galderma (Cetaphil)

She has acted as a consultant and advisor for Cetaphil, a brand owned by Galderma. Cetaphil produces a substantial line of daily facial moisturizers with SPF, mineral sunscreens, and broad-spectrum sun protection lotions marketed heavily toward sensitive skin and pediatric care. 

3. Beiersdorf (Eucerin)

Dr. Levine has maintained consulting arrangements with Eucerin, a brand under the Beiersdorf corporate umbrella. Eucerin manufactures a wide range of daily anti-aging lotions with SPF, sensitive skin sunscreens, and body sun protection products. 

Impact on Media Appearances

When Dr. Levine appears on networks like Fox News or in print publications to deliver general public health messages—such as advising viewers to apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside or warning against the dangers of tanning beds—she is providing standard medical advice aligned with the American Academy of Dermatology. However, because she does not routinely issue on-screen financial disclosures listing her corporate partners during short news segments, viewers are generally unaware that she is paid by the parent companies of the very products sitting on drugstore shelves."

Our family is taking a trip through Greece and Lauren and I just had the most amazing journey-trading the steps of the Apostle Paul from Athens to Corinth to share the gospel. Unbelievable history and scenery.🙏🏽

To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.

I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.

I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.

One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”

It knocked me back.

I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”

I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.

That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.

I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.

I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.

People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.

I'll tell you why.

Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.

I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.

In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.

The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.

You just have to stop running.

Why you should pray OVER your family 👇

Over the last year or so, my son has had a stretch of “bad dreams” and general fear of being alone in his room (I’ve written about this here).

It was tough at times. Nights of waking up at 3am and jumping in our bed, asking to sleep with the dog etc.

Every time he was feeling scared (minus a few times in the middle of the night when I did not model patience), I would pray over him. I put my hand on his head and audibly call on the name of Jesus to draw near to us, drive out scary thoughts and vanquish any spiritual attacks in our family.

It honestly didn’t seem to help that much at first. The routine stayed more or less the same for a while. I just kept praying over him.

Then, something changed. I started noticing that every night at bedtime, before he had vocalized any fear, he started asking ME: “Daddy, will you pray over me?”

Now, night after night, he makes this request before he goes to sleep. He just asked me a few minutes ago.

And here’s the thing: he’s sleeping great. Not only do I think God answered our prayers, but I believe his subconscious mind is continuing to learn there is only one place to turn when we are overwhelmed by fear.

He also has this verse memorized:

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

Men, pray over your family. Other than the power of this type of prayer, you also welcome them into WITNESSING God’s answered prayers when they actually happen. They heard the prayer come out of your mouth and they get to see God’s faithfulness vs if you pray only privately for them.

*Disclaimer: Prior to a couple of years ago, I never prayed OVER my family. I prayed for them - but never over them. If I can gently encourage you to start praying over your wife and kids. Put your hand on them and let them hear your heart’s message for them to the Father. It might feel weird at first - but man, i promise you it’s a powerful tool in your tool belt as a dad. Keep fighting for your family, dads 🤝

Since I’m going to be hearing this for the next 6 months as a Texas voter, let me answer the question:

“You would vote for an adulterer over James Talarico? That’s not very Christian.”

Here’s the truth: I would rather vote for almost anyone else who is going to at least advocate for conservative *policies* over a literal heretic who wears my faith like a skin suit, advocates for policies that harm children, endorses immorality and generally harm society.

Ken Paxton has personal baggage. I don’t deny that. But Talarico has plenty too — and he openly mocks God’s law and treats Jesus as a political mascot all while pushing a radical far-left agenda that would be a disaster for my state.

You see, I’m an adult. I do not expect those who are seeking political office to be my moral superiors or even trustworthy. They are tools to be used to do the least amount of damage via policy.

I wish more pastors and men who live godly lives were running. I really do. But the options we get are what they are.

Paxton supports secure borders, law enforcement, lower taxes, unleashing American energy, the Second Amendment, just to name a few.

Talarico supports unlimited abortion, trans-ing children, higher taxes, government-run “healthcare,” and is incredibly comfortable blaspheming the word of God.

I’m not voting for a priest. I’m voting for an imperfect person to represent my interests. That’s how it works.

You’re not going to guilt trip Texans into supporting a looney tunes candidate like Talarico. Paxton will win by 5+.

It’s about policy, not personality.

Congratulations to our son Jordan for receiving one of the Publix Supermarkets Distinguished Service Awards in Tampa. Jordan has an amazing heart and he really works to serve others. He has been an example to everyone in our family and we are proud of him!

[Gary Sinise @GarySinise]

Hey folks, today I’d like to take a moment to share something deeply personal with you.

Over the past few years, my family has walked through a season of profound love and loss. My son Mac was a remarkable young man, full of talent, heart, and purpose. An incredible musician and composer, in 2018 Mac was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer and our family entered a journey that none of us could have prepared for.

A little over two years ago I went to work writing my second book, sharing his story, as well as challenges and blessings our family experienced along the way, the love that held us together, the faith that sustained us, the grief that changed us, and how we continue to move forward daily with a strength we didn’t know we had.

And now Thomas Nelson and @People Magazine begin the next part of this journey.

This book is for Mac. It’s also for anyone who has faced loss, uncertainty, or hardship, and is searching for a line of hope in the middle of it. Something I feel I needed to do to help with my own healing.

I’m thankful to People for sharing the launch of our presale today. Graceful Warrior: The True Story of a Son, a Father, and a Family Who Carried Each Other Through is now available for preorder and will officially be released on Mac’s birthday, Nov 10th.

Thank you for your consideration.

If Democrats win the midterms, it won’t be because of anyone Trump mentioned. To be honest, not even the war. It’ll be because of the Senate. Thune. Powerful people who are obstructing Trump. Podcasters are easy targets. Take on real power, Trump. March to the Senate!

It’s amnesty. You’re a liar and a fraud.

It’s really important that @RepMariaSalazar loses her next election.

Republicans must be punished for betrayal like this. It’s the only way the others learn.

Exactly one year ago today, Austin Metcalf was murdered in broad daylight.

The man responsible is now sitting at home on house arrest - enjoying freedom and time with his family.

He admitted to the act, saying: “I’m not alleged. I did it.”

He spent just 12 days in jail.
His bond was reduced.
Over half a million dollars was raised.
He was allowed to graduate.
And he is allegedly now attending college.

And somehow, this is what justice looks like?

This is a complete dishonor to the real victim - Austin Metcalf.

As Charlie Kirk said:
“Imagine believing that murderers deserve condolences, not their victims. The divide in America is between anyone with a grip on reality, and the clinically insane.” Those who support the killer are exactly that: clinically insane.

Austin deserved better. And we are not going to let his name be forgotten.

We will be watching.
We will be speaking.
And we will demand justice at trial.

Today, we remember Austin Metcalf.
We pray for his grieving family.

Do not give attention to the killer.
Do not amplify his name.

Say Austin’s name.

A life taken too soon - by a culture that believes accountability will never come.

We’re going to change that.

FOR AUSTIN.

RIP AUSTIN METCALF
Born: July 31, 2007

@DrBPHealth Thank you. Since taking Heme iron I’ve had daily headaches that won’t go away. I’ve been taking for two weeks now. Any insight would be appreciated.

It would be a complete slap in the face for the Senate to take a paid vacation,

while tens of thousands of TSA agents still aren’t receiving paychecks.

NO RECESS!

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Sometimes, I wonder why I do this work.

I wonder why I work so hard to elect Republican majorities into office

& — when we are in power — our very elected officials don’t wield or harness that power.

I wonder why I lose sleep, miss family vacations, & put my personal life on hold, so wealthy Senators can go on paid vacations

after not achieving the very promises they campaigned on.

Sometimes, I wonder if they truly care about us & if they actually want to represent the will of the very people that elected them into positions of authority.

I will tell you this: if the Senate ultimately does not pass the SAVE America Act, I will use all of the energy, hustle, & organizing efforts we used to elect these Senators into office

as tools to peacefully & respectfully defeat them in their upcoming elections.

I have been informed by NBC that I won’t be back with FNIA this fall and it has given me time to reflect and also to look ahead. 

It’s disappointing  news but I want to thank my NBC family for making the last 17 years so special.  I’ll have lasting memories of my time there, especially with Rodney Harrison who has become a tremendous friend.

God has always directed me in these moments and while I’m not sure what the next step will be for me—whether it will be in football, in broadcasting, or getting more involved in church and community outreach —I know God has plans for my life and I can’t wait see them unfold. And I am reminded of one of my favorite verses in the Bible-Romans 8:28. “God works all things for His good for those who love the Lord.”

We had another wonderful Thursday reading with the 2nd graders at Sulphur Springs and Woodson Elementary Schools. Lauren and I have great admiration for these @HillsboroughSch teachers and administrators who work so hard with these students. It was a real joy to be with them.

You wouldn't know it based on what you see on this site, but there is actually a lane for people who are skeptical of military intervention and regime change wars but also aren't weeping for the Iranian regime and actively rooting for America to fail. Not only does the lane exist in real life but it's where like 90 percent of real people live.

The media had a gigantic meltdown when President Trump tweeted this nine years ago. He was proven absolutely right. But because no one was ever held accountable, the spying simply continued as if nothing had happened.
