A recent study published in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine in May this year found that pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. was involved in scientific fraud when it misled participants in its HPV vaccine trial.

I’m glad I waited before sharing the following analysis because I’m not as concerned today as I was when I originally read the Guardian article. Yesterday, The Guardian reported that Donald Trump Jr would be introducing the VP nominee at the RNC convention. According to them, that could indicate a strong likelihood of JD Vance as the nominee. That would be horrible. [Snip] ...what’s really happening is that Don Jr’s speech and intro is really just talking before the VP nominee makes his/her remarks. The VP will be announced days before the convention itself; [Snip] Maybe not JD Vance, and that’s a good thing.
Ohio Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno appeared outside Sen. Sherrod Brown’s (D-OH) office Thursday morning, declaring he covered up President Joe Biden’s “mental decline,” but the “gig is up,” per reports.

We have followed the Biden Pier disaster from the jump, as you know: Absolutely, Israel doesn't want or need this. Biden refuses to let Israel win. American troops are being inserted into the conflict so Biden can win the Michigan pro-Hamas vote. [Snip] The pier built by the U.S. military to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza will be reinstalled Wednesday to be used for several days, but then the plan is to pull it out permanently, several U.S. officials said. It would deal the final blow to a project long plagued by bad weather, security uncertainties and difficulties getting food into the hands of starving Palestinians.
Stormy Daniels has raised a stunning seven-figure sum to pay off legal fees she owes to former President Donald Trump after a court dismissed her defamation case against him in 2018. The GoFundMe fundraiser was organized by her former manager and friend Dwayne Crawford just two weeks ago, but already 20,000 contributions from the porn star's supporters have now surpassed $1 million.[Snip]Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, owes Trump $600,000 in legal fees in connection to her failed suit. [Snip] 'Trump may have a mega fundraising operation to keep him from facing consequences, but that shouldn’t mean that Stormy becomes the sacrificial lamb of a corrupt system.'
Barron Trump made his campaign rally debut Tuesday night as former President Donald Trump hosted thousands of supporters to his golf club in Doral, Florida and made a huge claim about the 18-year-old. 'This is the first time he's ever done it,' [Snip] The 78-year-old ex-president said 'welcome to the scene, Barron,' and cracked that his youngest son 'had such a nice, easy life - now it's a little bit changed,' earning raucous cheers. [Snip] Throughout the night, Trump teased Rubio, seated front row. 'I think they probably think I'm going to be announcing that Marco's going to be vice president,' the presumptive Republican nominee said.
LifeSite’s petition in support of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganó has soared past 10,000 signatures. [Snip] LifeSite’s petition thanks His Excellency for his many “courageous public statements” while noting that “the double standard the Vatican applies to faithful clergy like yourself and dissident, pro-LGBT, pro-abortion clergy and laity across the world is disgraceful.” [Snip] Bishop Athanasius Schneider said last week that if Pope Francis excommunicates Archbishop Vigano he would only “increase divisions” in the Church. “I think the pope would be wise and prudent if he were to not excommunicate Archbishop Viganò,” he remarked.
The prince of regrets. Prince Harry reportedly misses his home country and doesn’t see his friends anymore because they don’t like his wife Meghan Markle.

[Snip] King Charles’ former butler, Grant Harrold, told The Post that Harry had reportedly been eyeing properties in his home country. “It’s something that he’s wanted and been thinking about. Now he’s probably made the decision
Senator J.D Vance (R-OH) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he supported Americans having access to abortion pill Mifepristone. [Snip] ...“On the question of the abortion pill, what so many of us have said is look, the Supreme Court made a decision saying that the American people should have access to that medication. Donald Trump has supported that opinion. I support that opinion.” Welker said, “Just to be clear, you support Mifepristone being accessible?” Vance said, “Yes, Kristen, I do.”

President Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday and canceled a speech to a Latino advocacy group in Sin City.
UnidosUS president Janet Murguía announced the diagnosis on stage as attendees began to wonder why Biden, 81, was running 90 minutes late to speak.
Biden taped a radio interview with Univision — set to air Thursday — shortly before the positive test was disclosed.
Despite the graphic photographic evidence from different angles showing former President Trump was missing chunks of his right ear after being shot in the head during a failed assassination attempt over the weekend, MSNBC host Michael Steele wasted oxygen during the network’s coverage of Night Two of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday to spew debunked fringe conspiracy theories claiming Trump wasn’t actually hit by a bullet.
“Where I am at this point, it's been three days, going on four…and yet, we have not received a medical report from the hospital nor have we received a medical report from the campaign or from the Trump organization about
Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday criticized the belief of some of former President Donald Trump’s backers that “God is protecting him” after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday.
Trump survived the attempt on his life at his Pennsylvania rally after a bullet grazed his head, with some of the former president’s backers now believing that he is being protected by God, according to The New York Times. Carville on “Politics War Room” said he thinks this belief is “horseshit” and “a perversion,” adding that their religious perspective will lead to Trump destroying his enemies if reelected.
President Biden said in a new interview that he would consider dropping out if he was diagnosed with a “medical condition” by doctors — giving the clearest indication yet that he may be faltering in his vow to seek a second term. The 81-year-old president made the remark in a BET interview taped Tuesday when asked what it would take to prompt him to reconsider his candidacy.
“If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” Biden said in an excerpt released Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security inspector general opened an investigation on Wednesday into the Secret Service’s failure to prevent the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump at Saturday’s Pennsylvania rally.
The objective of the probe is to “Evaluate the United States Secret Service’s (Secret Service) process for securing former President Trump’s July 13, 2024 campaign event,” according to a short notice posted to the inspector general’s website. No specific date was given for when the investigation was launched.
The newly launched investigation comes after President Joe Biden had directed the Secret Service to conduct an independent review
This was a surreal and amazing incident that unfolded tonight at the Republican National Convention.
Kimberly Cheatle, the director of the Secret Service, was confronted by Republican senators John Barrasso of Wyoming and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, who were demanding answers about the failure of the Secret Service to protect Donald Trump.
Kim Cheatle tried to run away but the senators chased after her, demanding answers.
This is just stunning. Watch below:
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough all but called on President Biden to drop his re-election campaign Thursday — as the TV host ripped the commander-in-chief’s inner circle for keeping him in the race.
“This is not going to end well if it continues to drag out,” Scarborough said during a lengthy spiel on his “Morning Joe” talk show. Scarborough, who has staunchly defended the 81-year-old president in recent weeks despite the mounting calls for him to step aside, called on those closest to Biden to help him “do the right thing.”
“It’s really incumbent on people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help
Sources tell Axios' Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen that Democratic party leaders and close friends of Joe Biden will convince him to bail out of the presidential contest as soon as this weekend.According to the report, Biden's defiance is strictly for public consumption. In private "he's resigned to mounting pressure, bad polls, and untenable scrutiny making it impossible to continue his campaign, the Democrats tell us."
Behind the scenes: The private message, distilled to its bluntest form: The top leaders of his party, his friends and key donors believe he can't win, can't change public perceptions of his age and acuity, and can't deliver congressional majorities.
He just can’t help himself.
After two disastrous speeches, Joe Biden made an unscheduled stop at Mario’s Westside Market in Las Vegas, Nevada Tuesday evening.“How you doin? Good to see you!” Biden said as he went in for a sniff.
“Thank you, Riley! How old are you? 5?” Biden asked the child after he took a picture with her.
Biden delivered remarks during the 115th NAACP National Convention and then participated in an economic summit with Rep. Steven Horsford earlier Tuesday.

In a leaked Zoom call with moderate House Democrats on Sunday, President Joesph Biden once again used his dead son, Beau Biden, this time, to insult and denigrate the military and combat service of Colorado Congressman Jason Crow (D). Biden was unhinged as he told Crow to "tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son!" President Biden was attempting to convey the message that he was fit and able to continue on with his campaign and snapped at Crow when he politely expressed his concerns to the president.
Members of the far-left joined with their entertainment elite compatriots on social media to mock former President Trump’s ear bandage just days after he survived an assassination attempt which also took the life of one man. Sneering far-left Star Wars actor Mark Hamill happily showed the way.
According to Ronny Jackson, the former White House doctor who became a Texas congressman, Trump lost “a little bit” of his ear when the bullet grazed him on Saturday. “I checked his ear out,” Jackson said. “I went up and dressed his ear this morning.”
Just when I think the media can’t get any dumber, folks like MSNBC’s Joy Reid prove me dead wrong.
In Reid’s latest tap-dancing routine for President Joe Biden, she responded to the news that he has COVID-19 – again. During the segment, she lauded Biden’s latest COVID diagnosis as an opportunity to attack former President Donald Trump, who is riding high after Saturday’s attempt on his life.
And not spread COVID around, but also to remind people of what hell we went through with COVID because of Donald Trump. Here is a great messaging opportunity for President Biden to bring out the tape and remind people of how many people died.
