Alcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer responsible for about 100,000 cases of cancer and 20,000 cancer deaths annually in the United States,” Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warned in his advisory issued Friday. “Yet the majority of Americans are unaware of this risk.” Murthy noted cancer risk increases as alcohol consumption increases. For certain cancers — including breast, mouth and throat cancers — he said evidence shows that the risk of developing cancer may start to increase around one or more drinks per day.

We don't really need a Surgeon General. Eliminate the position, including staff and save money.

I'm not a big fan of alcohol, but, can we be serious about this? Although, at this point, who cares what this clown thinks or has to say.

My grandfather drank half of a fifth of whiskey every day. He lived to mid-80's. People have drank wine and other alcoholic beverages since the beginning of time. Unless something is added to the process that's new and carcinogenic, I don't believe this story. And no, I don't drink. Never liked the stuff.

Reminds me of a story I heard: A football coach wanted to show one of his players the impact alcohol had on living things. The coach took a glass, filled it with whiskey and then dropped a worm into the glass. The worm died and the coach turned to the player and asked "what have you just learned" to which the player replied "I don't have worms."

Alcohol might be a contributor but why not admit that all the junk they put in our food and chemicals used to raise vegetables and fruit do a lot more damage. Not to mention the fluoride that is added to our water. The folks in the Bible drank wine all the time and they didn't waste away. Nor, do our friends in Europe who drink wine at their meals.

If there was ever a question about how much Joe Biden hates God and all religions (with the possible exception of Islam), that question has now been completely answered with his choice of honoring two of the most anti-religion individuals in our nation with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest award for a civilian. A self-proclaimed Catholic, whose actions have always been directly antithetical to Catholic theology, Biden is awarding this honor to Cecile Richards, the President of Planned Parenthood. It is a major tenet of Catholicism that abortion is strictly forbidden,

P]olicy wonks have decided that in a region that hasn't known good news for decades if not centuries, one should be content with news that is "less bad". Thus, the fall of the Butcher of Damascus is news that is less bad rather than good because, despite Ahmad al-Sharaa's trimmed beard, silk necktie and Colgate smile, no one knows where the new rulers might be heading. [T]he current rush to brainstorm on the future of the Middle East ignores the geopolitical aspect of this complex situation. That in turn is symbolized by the elephant in the room: Iran. This elephant has a genetic tendency to going rogue.

With the full support of President Trump working the members, House Speaker Mike Johnson won the speakership again on the first round of voting with only Republican Thomas Massie voting against Johnson. This was the first test of Republican resistance to President Trump and the DeSantis House coalition, aka the Freedom Caucus, conceded their first defeat. President Trump called Texas opposition member Chip Roy personally, to put pressure on him to stop opposing the MAGA movement. It appears the pressure campaign was successful.

The first week of 2025 is a reminder that while the country and the world face peril, we are on the cusp of a revolution in the West by voters who demand accountability and a sweeping out of arrogant, corrupt, and incompetent leadership. The week began here with an Islamist from Houston who plowed a F-150 into New Year’s celebrants on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street. He left the truck and began firing into the crowd. Brave law enforcement officers dashed to the scene of the mayhem and eliminated him and the threat.

My first day in New Orleans was my first day. Thus, one can say I can reasonably claim to have some authenticity when I write and think -- and lament -- about my birthplace of long ago.

In a major victory against internet regulatory overreach under the outgoing Biden administration, a U.S. appeals court on January 2 blocked President Biden’s plan to expand government control over the internet. Citing Loper Bright, the panel of three judges in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the FCC does not have the authority to reinstate rules implemented in 2015 by former president Barack Obama. Notably, the rules were subsequently repealed by the FCC under President Trump in 2017. However, in April, the FCC voted 3-2 in favor of President Biden’s heavy-handed approach to “net neutrality”

On Thursday, I wrote about the award ceremony in which President Joe Biden gave the second highest civilian honor — the Presidential Citizens Award — to former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) for "putting the American people over party." I noted how she looked like she didn't want to be there; she really looked like she wanted to flee the stage. But what I didn't see on Thursday and if you look closely, she actually rolls her eyes as Joe Biden grabs her hand and tries to hold her there at about 11 seconds into the video.

According to the Associated Press, at least two people are now confirmed dead, and at least eighteen people are injured. The AP also reports that the building was occupied by Michael Nicholas Designs, a furniture upholstery manufacturer, based on a sign on the door. Textiles and sewing machines could be seen inside the building. Original Story: Around 2:10 p.m. PT, a plane crashed into a warehouse in Fullerton, Calif., about 25 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Authorities were initially called to handle what was believed to be a structure fire, but upon arrival, they realized that a plane had crashed into the building, causing the four-alarm fire.

Lauren Sánchez’s sunbathing aboard her fiancé Jeff Bezos’ $500 million yacht, Koru, was interrupted by customs officers for a search that lasted three hours on New Year’s Eve, Page Six has learned. We obtained photos of the former TV reporter, 55, smiling and posing on the top deck of the luxury ship, wearing a Versace bikini, black sarong and large hat, while officers scoped another area. The uniform-clad officials, who stepped onto the boat with all of their equipment and black life jackets, were seen speaking to a stewardess, as she appeared to instruct them on where to go.

After Shamsud-din Jabbar’s New Orleans attack turned a New Year’s celebration into violent tragedy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to show why it has forfeited the trust of the American people. Jabbar affixed an ISIS flag to the pickup he drove at high speed into a crowd of revelers, killing at least 14 people. Yet the FBI at first refused to call the attack what it plainly was: terrorism. That’s even though it arrested a shocking 10 ISIS would-bes in 2024 alone, thankfully before they were able to carry out any attacks — including a 17-year-old in Arizona. “This is not a terrorist event,”

Honduran President Xiomara Castro has threatened to terminate military cooperation with the United States if President-elect Donald Trump proceeds with his plan for mass deportations of illegal immigrants, including those from Honduras. This ultimatum underscores the glaring hypocrisy of a leader who has failed to address the root causes driving her own citizens to flee her country in the first place. A primary objective of Trump’s mass deportation plan is to remove individuals with criminal records who are residing in the country illegally.

MSNBC has an ongoing ratings problem and host Lawrence O’Donnell is clearly doing everything he can to make sure it stays that way. During a recent rant on his little-watched program, O’Donnell singled out U.S. veterans, specifically from the Army, as a greater terror threat than the people illegally crossing the southern border. A former CIA officer recently said that more than a thousand al-Qaeda operatives have likely crossed the open border and are now in the United States just waiting to strike but apparently, O’Donnell hasn’t heard that report. MSNBC should be ashamed for airing this.

You can smell it in the air. A deep sense of betrayal among Democratic voters. An underlying realization that the Democratic party’s politburo — Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries, and their courtiers of elected official and consultant sycophants — sold voters a bill of goods: the gaslighting of the public on President Biden’s decrepitude; the false idol of the Kamala Harris “campaign of joy” as a smart last-minute stand-in; and the repeated cowering to the far left whose wokeness and moral condescension turns off most voters. In a just world, one might expect a formal no-confidence vote on this leadership failure.

We can’t be sure, since his alleged presidency still has 16 days to go. But Biden’s awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros is likely to stand as his final insult to America. In honoring Soros, Biden said: “Born into a Jewish family in Hungary, George Soros escaped Nazi occupation to build a life of freedom for himself and countless others around the world,” reads the Soros citation. Soros has been a relentless enemy of freedom throughout his adult life. “His inspiring generosity reminds us all of our capacity and our obligation to stand up to the abuse of power and to be guardians of democracy and all people yearning to be

President-elect Donald J. Trump will be sentenced on January 10, but there will be no jail time, not that was ever a concern. The laws and statutes got so contorted that even CNN’s Elie Honig, the network's chief legal analyst and former assistant US attorney, couldn’t defend it, aptly calling it a total disaster of a case. In essence, Trump only got convicted because Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his team perverted the rule of law. Law professor Jonathan Turley nailed why Judge Juan Merchan wants to get this wrapped on January 10. It’s to give the liberal media the talking point they’ve salivated over for months:

On Monday, Jan. 6, Congress will convene to certify the 2024 reelection of former President Donald Trump. Jan. 6, 2025, marks the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot that Democrats and their media still falsely portray as an “insurrection.” Hundreds of Trump supporters gathered at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Mr. Trump spoke to a crowd. Among other things, he said: “Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that’s what this is all about. To use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will ‘stop the steal.’” He urged them to protest Congress’ counting of Electoral College ballots.

Huff walked through some of the revelations, stating that “when you really boil this down, most of the biotechnology, or the advanced technology that was used to engineer SARS-CoV-2, was developed in the United States – primarily at the University of North Carolina with Dr. Ralph Baric – and illegally exported to the Chinese.”
