This is almost unbelievable. But it's true.
The 1986 vaccine law that gave vaccine makers immunity from damages their vaccines cause... ordered the government through HHS to report to Congress every two years on what it had done to make childhood vaccines safer.
First report due: December 1989.
When was the first report filed?
HHS admitted in court it never filed one.
Not once.
In forty years.
That same law gave manufacturers protection from lawsuits, even when their products caused "unavoidable" injury. Of course *that* part of the law was followed from the very start.
Because of deep flaws in this 1986 law, Vaccine Safety Research Foundation is working to repeal it.

It actually really bothers me that we don’t see some of the leadership of the Gospel Coalition that is still sound addressing horrendous articles like this. I understand it’s the Australian edition. But is still the organization that they oversee. And even if they cannot control what those international editions publish (and I don’t know what the arrangement is there.) it would be very good to see people like John Piper and Kevin DeYoung correcting egregious articles like this that are published under the banner of the very organization for which they are accountable.
Remember: Thomas Massie lost his primary in May. He's now a lame duck, and he's using his last weeks in Congress to push impeachment of @SecWar over offenses that aren't impeachable.
If you wonder about his motives, look at his record. He was the lone "no" vote against the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 (417–1).
Lame duck. Traitor. @RepThomasMassie
If a “nonprofit” hospital can afford to sponsor 3 professional sports teams, the Houston Ballet, Symphony and Opera and the Houston Rodeo, then it can afford to pay property taxes!
Audit them! #txlege
Wow! This really shocked me and I honestly didn't see it coming.
Lord, have mercy on their souls. The devil is indeed crafty.
Here is what an ex-Muslim said about the first prayer they are taught to pray as Muslims🤦🏽♂️
Working on a story for @MorningWire tomorrow and just spoke to a former very highly placed executive at Marvel who worked closely with Latcham.
He tells me Latcham is exactly what he seems—that he is a Christian and a conservative and he is going to be interested in appealing to that demographic at the same time that he makes movies for all audiences.
He tells me that Latcham was one of the most talented producers they had at Marvel and he believes he will be a huge asset to DC.
More to come tomorrow!

John Clauser, Premio Nobel de Física y 1,500 Cientificos más en Quantum Korea dicen:
"NO EXISTE Cambio Climático, NO EXISTE Emergencia Climática"

Many have already pointed out that TGC Australia's "Don't Sit With Your Spouse at Church" article is subversive, anti-family, and frankly, bizarre. I agree with all of those critiques. But the article also illustrates the pragmatism and therapeutic anthropology that have become so prevalent in evangelicalism.
Consider the underlying argument: the single person's subjective emotional response to witnessing the ordinary, natural behavior of Christian families becomes the criterion by which the congregation's consciences are bound.
Megaspeed was just a minor player smuggling illegal Nvidia GPUs to China.
$NVDA counts Super Micro $SMCI as a major customer, representing 10% of their sales.
This is the big fish in the smuggling world that committed accounting fraud in 2018 & 2024.
When this story finally breaks it will destroy Nvidia.
Keep in mind while listening to this video, SMCI's CEO Charles Liang has been an "American citizen" for over 30 years...
There were warning signs everywhere for those who looked.
Greenlight has won all litigation with James Fishback. @jamesfishback has been ordered to return every penny of salary and bonus that we ever paid him, to repay the money we lent him, to pay most of our legal fees, and to stop claiming titles, roles and responsibilities he never had. No, Fishback was not the “Head of Macro.” Rather, as the arbitrator found, he was a “faithless servant.”
That’s a fancy legal way of saying that Fishback was so disloyal during his employment that he was ordered to refund to us his entire compensation during his tenure at Greenlight.
Ordinarily, my style would be to let this decisive ruling speak for itself.
However, Fishback has made himself a public figure. He publicly requested appointments to be a governor of the Federal Reserve and a U.S. Senator. He unsuccessfully ran for Florida Governor and has hinted that he intends to run for President in the next election. I therefore feel a civic duty to share additional details and thoughts about Fishback’s character and why he should never be placed in a position of trust.
For more than three years, Fishback engaged in a scheme to harass Greenlight Capital and me. While he made a series of false allegations against us, I generally chose to remain silent and allow the legal process to run its course. It has now done so. The result of the final arbitration is that every single claim Fishback ever made about us was either withdrawn or was legally found to be untrue. The conclusion of the arbitration represents the end of all litigation between Greenlight and Fishback, with Greenlight winning a clean sweep and being awarded over $4 million of damages against Fishback due to his tortious actions, false statements and baseless allegations.
Fishback has accused us of lawfare. Let’s set the record straight: it can’t be lawfare when he started the litigation. We simply defended ourselves and made now proved counterclaims.
This all began with Fishback demanding a $5 million pay-off to spare us the reputational harm and legal costs of defending frivolous accusations of religious discrimination, age discrimination, a politically hostile work environment and defamation.
After filing his lawsuit, Fishback told Jack Farley on the Forward Guidance podcast that “discovery is going to be fun” and would vindicate his story. Farley asked how frequently Greenlight employees referred to him as ‘Head of Macro’ and what written evidence supported his claims. Fishback answered “Well, I don’t have access to my company email. If I did, we could produce them up the wazoo.”
Well, discovery came and went and not a single piece of evidence supported any of Fishback’s bogus claims. A company-wide email search revealed that the only additional Greenlight emails calling him “Head of Macro” were those where he gave the title to himself in his signature block while sending external emails where nobody from Greenlight was copied.
Instead, discovery uncovered some outrageous conduct by Fishback. For example, Fishback and his father concocted a scheme to use a fake reference check to create his fraudulent defamation claim against us.
In September of 2023, after his employment ended, Fishback texted his father a draft of a fake reference check email that included an inquiry as to Fishback’s duties as Greenlight’s “Head of Macro.” In the same chain, Fishback texted his father:
“We need them to DEFAME us. Which THEY WILL. That’s another $1 MM right there.”
Fishback persuaded a friend of a friend who worked at an investment firm to send us the fake reference check. When we responded that Fishback was not the Head of Macro, Fishback promptly sued us, claiming that our response caused the friend’s company to walk away from making a $5 million investment in Fishback’s start-up hedge fund.
The friend of the friend testified under oath that he sent the fake reference check as a favor and that his company was never considering investing with Fishback. The friend got fired.
It was all a sham to conjure a fake legal claim to extract money from us.
There’s more that came out in the litigation:
On his final day of employment, Fishback stole Greenlight’s most valuable property, its portfolio of investments, by emailing it to his personal email (in our industry this is a big deal).
An even bigger deal is that he and his father were secretly trading positions in Greenlight’s investment portfolio in their personal accounts.
Fishback admitted to violating his confidentiality obligations to Greenlight over 60 times, including by sending confidential investment information to third parties.
Fishback made numerous statements, including that he ran macro trading at Greenlight and that he was responsible for generating over $100 million of profits – none of which were true.
Fishback told various lies about why he left Greenlight, including that he left due to a hostile political environment.
In a classic example of “You can’t fire me, I quit,” Fishback resigned right after my assistant scheduled a meeting with him so I could fire him for not doing his job.
As for the political environment at Greenlight, Fishback has repeatedly claimed that I am “a Soros aligned hedge fund billionaire.” That’s simply not so. Politically, I am just left of center. I have made large philanthropic contributions to causes supporting bi-partisanship, bridging differences and pluralism. I support centrist Democrat politicians. Some on the far-left have even tried to fight my efforts to have a more civil culture by labeling me a far-right conservative. That isn’t true either.
At Greenlight, we discuss politics so infrequently that I was unaware of Fishback’s views during his tenure. And it surprised me when he quoted scripture in his resignation email. His politics have since been made clear to all. We have no view on the sincerity of his religious beliefs but suffice it to say that we’ve been witness to him breaking those Commandments regarding stealing and lying.
Fishback campaigned for Florida Governor on an extreme “tough on crime” platform. He threatened homeless people with 15 years in jail for being homeless; he threatened teenagers participating in riots with 5 years in jail, including prosecuting minors as adults; he promised criminal prosecutions of homeowners’ associations; and planned for mass deportations of non-citizens. He even said a black man “should be lynched” for confronting him.
And yet, Fishback is a man who believes the laws don’t apply to him. Rules are for other people.
During his campaign, Fishback was challenged for living outside of Florida. His testimony that he lived in Florida was certainly news to us. When Fishback worked for Greenlight, he provided his address as being in Washington, D.C. He had us withhold D.C. resident taxes from his payroll. When he visited our New York office, he frequently submitted expense reimbursements for Amtrak trips between D.C. and New York.
Before this final arbitration, we had already won verdicts against Fishback to repay the loans that we generously lent to him on favorable terms for what he claimed at the time to be a family emergency (though that’s not what he told Jack Farley).
Even with valid court orders of U.S. Federal District Court Judges ordering him to repay us and surrender property to satisfy the judgements, Fishback simply thumbs his nose at the rule of law. He decides on his own that the Judge was a Democrat, or was appointed by a Democrat, or was otherwise politically motivated, rendering the rulings (in his mind) invalid. Fishback was ordered to repay his debt to us: He ignored it. Fishback was ordered to turn over shares in a company and 43 luxury items he owns to us: He ignored it. A company owned by Fishback was ordered to produce documents in discovery: He ignored it. And that is just a partial list.
We have little doubt that he will try to ignore the arbitration ruling against him from the arbitration he commenced. Ignoring court orders is a very dangerous way for anyone to behave. But those that do, especially in such a self-serving fashion, should not be put in a position of public trust or have influence in the enforcement of laws against others.
It doesn’t matter that I’m a Democrat. What does matter is that we gave a seemingly intelligent college drop-out a chance to achieve what he once said was his dream job. And once he was provided with that opportunity, instead of applying any semblance of a work ethic, he chose to be a “faithless servant”.
We have a theory as to why Fishback wishes to continue his political ambitions. We believe that by continuing to seek office, he will find donors to his campaign, PAC and charitable endeavors, and he will use those funds to stay in hotels, rent cars, travel and dine out – all without ever acquiring an asset in his own name that can be used to repay his legitimate creditors, like us. It’s the perfect way for Fishback to continue to grift and continue to avoid paying his debts.
It won’t work. James, you owe us over $4 million and interest is ticking.
And, when we do collect it, I will in turn donate it to a combination of the National Immigration Forum, The Center for Reproductive Rights, The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, and The Florida Chapter of the ADL. The best way to fight your hate is to support those you hate.
I’ve always liked Stephen Miller. He’s principled, smart, and fearless. I didn’t know this about him.
In spring 2006, three Duke lacrosse players—David Evans, Collin Finnerty, and Reade Seligmann—were accused of raping Crystal Mangum at a team party.
Within days the campus verdict was in. The season was canceled. The coach was forced out. Their faces were on every cable channel.
88 Duke professors signed a full-page ad thanking protesters for not waiting for the facts and declaring the case exposed “racism and sexism” no matter what a court decided. The school suspended the players.
Durham DA Mike Nifong, a Democrat fighting a tough primary, went on TV promising convictions. Saying “wait for the evidence” got you called racist.
Except for one student. He wasn’t on the team. He wasn’t a friend of the accused. He was just a 20-year-old junior (later senior) who kept writing in the student paper that in America you’re innocent until proven guilty. Then he did something no other Duke student did: he went on The O’Reilly Factor and Nancy Grace—not as a lawyer or pundit, but as a student—telling millions his own university had rushed to judgment.
Most of campus called him racist. The News & Observer called him the “lonely voice insisting that the players were innocent.” He stayed that voice for a year.
Then the case collapsed. DNA cleared all three. Mangum’s story kept changing. The photo lineup was rigged.
Worst of all, Nifong conspired with the DNA lab to hide the exculpatory results.
On April 11, 2007, North Carolina AG Roy Cooper dropped every charge and declared Evans, Finnerty, and Seligmann “innocent”—victims of a “tragic rush to accuse.” Nifong resigned, was disbarred, and was briefly jailed. Years later Mangum admitted she lied.
The student who refused to back down, who was called racist for defending three fellow students while 88 of his own professors had already convicted them in print, who went on national TV at 20 to stand for the presumption of innocence?
His name was Stephen Miller.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! HHS Sec. Bobby Kennedy reveals he can UNLEASH because GOP Senators can't hold his appointees hostage when they lose power in January — paired with Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff
"Republicans in the Senate, every time I tried to do something robust, I'd get calls saying, 'if you do that, we're not going to confirm your appointees.' So I said to the group at HHS, I said, the Democrats, no matter how great the appointee is, not one vote will go them!"
"The Senate no longer has ANY leverage over me...Then we have Stephen Miller, a friend of our movement — I don't think ANYTHING is going to get in our way now!" 🔥
Did I hear that right? Some Senate Republicans purposefully obstructed his MAHA efforts?
Absolutely unreal. MAHA is a 2024 mandate.
I hope the final 2 years of Trump's term are the BEST for MAHA 🇺🇸
That would also be good news to win in 2028, because we NEED to take everything back.
Food stamp advocate SELF-DESTRUCTS as Rep. Brandon Gill presses her on why taxpayers pay for Coca-Cola.
She tries to dodge the question. Then Gill pulls out the receipts, and she sits there in stunned silence.
GILL: “Should SNAP dollars be spent on sodas?”
WITNESS: “I am happy to talk about hunger and nutrition, but not dictate what Americans should or should not eat or may have access to.”
GILL: “I’m asking if tax dollars should be used to pay for sodas.”
“Do they need sugary sodas to survive?”
WITNESS: “Some of them do…”
GILL: “You think they need Coca-Cola to survive?”
“I’m giving you the opportunity to say yes or no.”
WITNESS: “I will not answer for individuals and their… choices.”
GILL: “What does SNAP stand for?”
WITNESS: “It’s a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.”
GILL: “What’s nutritional about Coca-Cola?”
WITNESS: “I am not a nutritionist.”
Then Gill asks who’s paying her, and she freezes like a deer in headlights.
GILL: “Is your organization funded by organizations that make money from food stamps?”
[awkward silence]
GILL: “Do organizations who profit off of food stamps fund your organization or businesses?”
WITNESS: “I mean, in the, in the, I, I can’t comment to that.”
GILL: “Does General Mills fund your organization?”
WITNESS: “I don’t have access to that information.”
GILL: “I do. It’s right here. They do fund your organization. […] Yes, and they’re profiting off of your advocacy. Do you think that that’s a conflict of interest?”
[more silence]
GILL: “I think most people think that’s a conflict of interest. I know you don’t want to answer.”
Always follow the money.
CONTEXT: USDA’s own study found soft drinks were the #1 purchase in SNAP households, beating milk, ground beef, and everything else in the store.
@crowdhealth@leemurdock@Camp4 Great to hear. But that is a more important number to see every month which shows people the health of the total % of dollars covered/reimbursed.
@crowdhealth@leemurdock@Camp4 This doesn't include a key metric. Of the total dollar amounts submitted for reimbursement (which were eligible) what percentage of those dollars were funded each month? You provide the number of bills funded but you don't show if your are funding 100% of those dollars or 95%,etc
“I pay money to go to this college.”
Students are paying tens of thousands in tuition at the University of Michigan for this.
Dr. Laura Yakas teaches “Engaging Social Justice, Diversity, and Oppression in Social Work.” In class she sings songs about how horrible America is.
This is what people mean when they say universities have become ideological indoctrination camps.
Parents and taxpayers are funding it. Graduates are leaving with debt and this.
This woman needs to be fired!
To give one example of how Calvary Costa Mesa was assuring people they were NOT going to be egalitarian I will offer this screenshot of an article posted on Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa's website in November 2016.
What's ironic is that Char Brodersen said they were holding to the ordination of women pastors 10 years ago and this article was written exactly 10 years ago, today.
The article assures everyone that a rumor of a woman being ordained as a pastor was false and that "Brian is not promoting women ministers"
Yet Char said today that they ordain women as pastors and this has been their practice for nearly 10 years.
This is why I said in my video today that this is an issue of trust.
The article is still on the CC website today. See the second pic for where.
