The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) released a daunting prediction of the global cancer burden. It estimates more than 35 million new cancer cases in 2050 — a 77% increase from the estimated 20 million cancer cases that occurred in 2022.¹

While WHO named an aging population as a key driver behind the increasing cancer burden, along with tobacco, alcohol, obesity and exposure to air pollution, what they’re ignoring is the concerning trend of turbo cancers that occur shortly after COVID-19 shots.

Cancer Cases Set to Increase Significantly by 2050

The IARC cancer burden estimates are based on the “best sources of data available in [185] countries in 2022.”² That year, there were an estimated 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths, with WHO reporting, “About 1 in 5 people develop cancer in their lifetime, approximately 1 in 9 men and 1 in 12 women die from the disease.”³

About two-thirds of the new cancer cases and deaths were caused by 10 types of cancer. Lung cancer was most common, followed by female breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and stomach cancer. When broken down by sex, breast cancer was the most commonly diagnosed — and the leading cause of cancer death — among women. For men, it was lung cancer.

Lung cancer and colorectal cancer accounted for the second and third most diagnosed types and cause of most deaths among women. However, for men, prostate and colorectal cancers were second and third most common, while liver and colorectal cancer caused the second and third most cancer deaths.⁴

There were also disparities revealed based on human development index (HDI), a statistical tool that assesses three dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge (schooling) and a decent standard of living. According to WHO:⁵

“In terms of the absolute burden, high HDI countries are expected to experience the greatest absolute increase in incidence, with an additional 4.8 million new cases predicted in 2050 compared with 2022 estimates. Yet the proportional increase in incidence is most striking in low HDI countries (142% increase) and in medium HDI countries (99%). Likewise, cancer mortality in these countries is projected to almost double in 2050.”

Why the U.S. government regards Christian conservatives as enemies

“There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense. The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself.”

That was Donald J. Trump speaking the most forbidden truth of all, just days before the historic November 2016 election that, to the dismay of the “Washington establishment,” made the brash billionaire outsider America’s 45th president.

National Public Radio CEO Katherine Maher has been thoroughly exposed as a radical in recent days as one of NPR’s veteran editors—Uri Berliner—actually told the truth and revealed that the taxpayer-sponsored “news organization” is hopelessly biased toward the progressive viewpoint. For this transgression, he was promptly suspended; he said thank you but take a hike, I’m resigning.

The highly publicized back-and-forth led inquiring minds to take a closer look at Maher’s past, and what they found out is that she’s a radical extremist who thinks the leftist narrative is more important than the actual truth and that those who don’t stick to said narrative should be silenced in the name of “progress.” She has her right to these opinions—but she doesn’t have the right to use our taxpayer money to foist them on the American public.

If you’re of a certain age, you’ll remember the famous TV commercials where entrepreneur Victor Kiam would come on the screen and say, “I liked the shaver so much, I bought the company [Remington].” Elon Musk took a similar approach; he values free speech so highly that he shelled out $44 billion in 2022 to buy social media platform Twitter (now X), in part to fight rampant big-tech censorship. He promptly canned 80 percent of the company’s workforce, reinstated accounts that had been banned, and completely overhauled the company’s free speech policies.

On April 19, 1775, seventy-eight-year-old Captain Samuel Whittemore crouched behind a stone wall next to his home. Whittemore’s old fingers tightly gripped his musket and his pistol. A sword hung from his belt. A phalanx of Redcoats looted homes as they retreated back to Boston. The senior Patriot, who had resisted tyranny and the rule of the Crown for years, planned to fight to the death to defend his home.

When the British troops approached, he blasted away, slaying two Redcoats and wounding or killing a third with his sword. The Redcoats then unleashed their fury on Whittemore, shooting him in the face with a .69 caliber ball, taking off part of his cheekbone, and bayoneting him six times. To finish the job, they bludgeoned him with the butts of their muskets, shouting, “We have killed the old rebel!” Whittemore lay in a pool of his own blood. His hat and clothes “were shot through in many places.”

Miraculously, the old Patriot stubbornly refused to die. Brushing off the flesh wounds, he would live to the ripe old age of ninety-six. This week marks the anniversary of Whittemore’s epic stand and the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Two hundred and forty-nine years ago, farmers, tradesmen, laborers, and mariners–Americans of all stripes–came together to defend themselves against the most professional army in the world. April 19, 1775, marked the beginning of an epic journey for a band of brothers who risked EVERYTHING for a nation yet to be born. Over the course of nearly eight years, many of these Americans marched thousands of miles, often shoeless, unpaid, and starving, to fight for freedom and liberties most Americans today take for granted. Their resolute stand matters in light of multiple current events and relentless threats to American liberty.

The House Oversight Committee held a hearing on China on Wednesday.

But things went off the rails when Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) tried to use his time to bash former President Donald Trump to deflect from questions being raised about Joe Biden and his family’s dealings with China. Raskin then claimed the impeachment inquiry against Biden had been dropped when Comer interrupted him to say that wasn’t true.

Comer remained calm throughout Raskin’s loss. He asked Raskin if the bank statement was “Russian disinformation” and if you could discount the testimony of witness Tony Bobulinski.

Then Raskin tried to deflect to Trump again. That’s when Comer smoked him, saying they had an obsession about Russia and Trump, “You need therapy. You all need therapy, Mr. Raskin.”

That really set Raskin off. “You need therapy! You’re involved with the deranged politician.” Has he looked at Joe Biden lately while he’s talking about derangement? Your guy is confusing Haifa and Rafah and telling Israel “not to move” on their own cities while telling tall tales about his uncle and cannibals.

A wild shootout at an Atlanta gas station with one gunman appearing to wield an AK-47 was caught on camera, with three bystanders left injured.

The gunfight broke out on Tuesday just after 8.20pm at a Circle K gas station in Decatur between at least four men, with bullets flying across the forecourt.

Three innocent bystanders were caught in the crossfire. Two of the men, aged 32 and 44, were hospitalized with their injuries, and a third was grazed by a bullet.

One of the victims, Atif Ray, was shot twice while sitting in his car texting, he told WSBTV: ‘I was looking down at my phone. But I know what it sounds like. That’s the world we live in. It’s scary.’

Police arrested Darius Morris, 34, and he was charged with three counts of aggravated assault – they are still searching for the other suspects.

The 2024 election feels very different than the 2020 election and we see examples of changing attitudes every day.

Addison Smith of Newsmax recently spoke to a black voter in Philadelphia, a famously blue city, who explained why the country needs to reelect Trump in 2024.

Trump is making huge gains with minority voters in this election cycle and this voter does a great job of explaining why this is happening. No one has confidence in Joe Biden’s ability to lead the country.

Smith also spoke with a guy who broke it down in terms that would resonate with everyone on Thursday in Philadelphia. He pointed out how they were having the event there for Biden and that there were a lot of Americans “struggling,” but Biden was helping illegal aliens, “When are you going to help American people?” he asked.

Appearing on election lawyer Marc Elias’ podcast “Democracy Docket” in an episode that dropped Friday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton whined about her 2016 election loss and hurled baseless charges against former President Donald Trump, accusing him of wanting to be like Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and murder his enemies.

Even for the divisive former First Lady, this was pretty obnoxious stuff.

A fawning Elias welcomed the “true American hero” who has “been right about everything” to his podcast, and promptly asserted that 2016 was rigged and it was the Russians who handed Trump the presidency. Guess he hasn’t heard of the Mueller Report, which proved no such thing. In fact, the infamous Steele Dossier, which Hillary’s campaign financed, has been thoroughly debunked and is basically hot garbage.

But when Hillary got on the subject of Trump and his potential second term, a screw seemed to come loose:

Putin does what [Trump] would like to do. Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists into exile, rule without any check or balance.

That’s what Trump really wants.

There, she said it. She flat-out alleged her former opponent and the presumptive ’24 GOP nominee for the presidency is a wannabe murderer. This is truly sick stuff. Ironically, earlier in the podcast, she had been praising Joe Biden for not using inflammatory rhetoric against his opponents, a ridiculous lie given that Biden routinely demonizes half the country, those he sneeringly calls “the MAGA crowd.”

Watch (I’ve cued it about to the 35-minute mark where her Putin remarks begin). [My question: why can’t the multimillionaire former United States Secretary of State afford better lighting? Just have to ask.]

Joe Biden seems to be getting worse lately. Perhaps it’s because so many things are blowing up because of his failed policies, especially in the Middle East. Perhaps it’s also because they’re making him run around to more events to campaign so they’re upping what he has to do and it’s showing. Perhaps his condition is just getting worse. I tend to think it’s all the above.

Whatever it is, you can see an increase in his incoherence and confusion, particularly over the past couple of weeks.

But they’re still playing this game where they tell him to jog a few steps to prove how vigorous he is.

Here he is speaking at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers’ Construction and Maintenance Conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday.

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) introduced legislation on Friday that targets former President Donald Trump and would take away his Secret Service protection if he is convicted in his trial.

In a post on X, the House Homeland Security Committee Democrats revealed that Thompson, the top member of the committee and the former chairman of the now-defunct January 6 Select Committee, had introduced legislation that would ensure “convicted felons sentenced to prison” would have no Secret Service protection.

In a statement, Thompson said:

Unfortunately, current law doesn’t anticipate how Secret Service protection would impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee-even a former President. It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality. Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment-and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them.

Earlier this week, a New York Times/Siena poll found that more than half of voters believe Joe Biden’s economy is “poor,” and a mere “4 percent” said that things are “excellent.” (If you are in this 4 percent, please contact us so we can interview you and ask you how you drew that conclusion… and where you procure your hallucinogens.)

Equally important: only 25 percent of respondents said that Joe Biden’s America is on the right track vs. 64 percent who said “wrong direction” when asked by the pollsters.

So, we have a consensus. The country is not moving in the right direction, and the economy is a major a factor. What’s more, as those of you who have kept up with the Breitbart Business Digest this week know, inflation is actually going up.

…But the Democrats Hate “Bad Orange Man” Even More

I recently asked a prominent activist investor — someone who regularly demands from the public companies he targets various forms of boardroom change — what he would demand from a financially troubled radio network that needs to broaden its audience and make more money.

His answer: He would issue an ultimatum that the CEO and management team no longer produce polarizing content because it alienates many of those all-important listeners.

Meanwhile, if you have an employee who is telling management how current programming is turning off those consumers, don’t ever think about shooting the proverbial messenger.

Listen to him; maybe even give him a raise.

I’m withholding the activist investor’s name because he has enough problems on his hands to get in the middle of the unfolding crap show involving National Public Radio.

Suffice to say, the network, once known for its reliably wonkish takes on culture, politics and business, is doing just the opposite.

President Joe Biden will accept endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia on Thursday as he aims to undermine former President Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kerry Kennedy, a daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential contender, will deliver the endorsements of Biden, his campaign announced.

The decision to highlight the Kennedy family endorsement more than six months from Election Day is an indication of how seriously Biden’s team is taking the threat of the long-shot bid potentially using his last name’s lingering Democrat magic to siphon off support from the president.

Port of Baltimore Safety Zone – Key Bridge Response 2024
One-Way ONLY Transit Opportunity for Recreational Vessels Through the Safety Zone

The Captain of the Port (COTP) has established a transit plan to afford recreational vessels the opportunity for transit through the Key Bridge Response Safety Zone. Traffic will be one-way at a time during two periods: on Sunday, April 21, OUTBOUND transits will be permitted in the morning from 6:30 a.m. to 7:15 a.m., and INBOUND transits will be permitted from 7:15 a.m. to 8 a.m.

In the evening, OUTBOUND transits will be permitted from 6 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. and INBOUND transits will be permitted from 6:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Unified Command or Captain of the Port may cancel these time periods at any time for safety reasons. Mariners must monitor VHF Channel 16 and 81A while transiting the area.

There will be numerous law enforcement and safety vessels on scene to ensure the safe transit of recreational vessels. Once a vessel has entered the safety zone, it needs to continue to make way without stopping. The flow of traffic needs to be continuous. Rules of the road will be strictly enforced.  There will be no exceptions to the listed vessel traffic plan, vessels should not take advantage of this opportunity if they can’t abide by the specific stipulations listed.

A group of black residents tore into Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Wednesday over his plans to spend an additional $70 million to feed and house illegal aliens, and to drive their point home, they wore former President Donald Trump’s signature MAGA hats during a meeting at city hall.

Johnson has been continually ramping up spending on migrants, but his attention to Biden’s border crisis has sent many of Chicago’s black residents to despair as their communities lose resources so Johnson can redirect city finances and services to migrants.

The self-professed “progressive” mayor has already thrown $300 million at migrants, but he is demanding far more. And the demand is not sitting well with many of the Windy City’s residents, the Daily Mail reported.

Black activists in the city have been threatening to vote for Republicans and independents since the migrant crisis started, and on Wednesday, several residents came garbed in MAGA hats and “Make Chicago Red” T-shirts:

Electric vehicle (EV) sales plunged across Europe in March as demand dried up despite the E.U.’s push to ban petrol and diesel vehicles by the middle of the next decade.

The Daily Telegraph reports sales of battery-powered cars dropped by 11.3 percent as demand in Germany, Europe’s largest economy, plunged by 28.9 percent, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA).

Only 13 percent of new registrations were electric, down from 13.9 percent in March last year and down from 14.6 percent for all of 2023, continuing a long-term trend, as Breitbart News reported.

Overall figures show electric vehicle sales have stalled despite Europe’s plans to ban the sale of new internal combustion engine cars by 2035.

According to the Telegraph report, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Tesla have all recorded falling electric vehicle sales in the first three months of the year.

‘A scandal of this magnitude must not be tolerated’

Joe Biden already is trailing President Donald Trump in many of the polls addressing the coming election in swing states – those vote totals that most likely will decide the presidency.

He attacks Trump constantly, threatening Americans that the probable GOP candidate would destroy “democracy,” as running on his own accomplishments likely isn’t going to happen.

As President Joe Biden becomes more and more bizarre, and the Democrats keep telling Americans that everything is fine, it’s just their imagination, more traditional Democrat voting blocs are saying enough and taking a second look at Donald Trump and the Republicans.

One of the biggest of those groups of reliably Democratic voters is Hispanics. Joe Biden and his Party are beginning to realize this could be a serious problem, so much so that at a Phoenix Mexican restaurant in March, Biden seemed to be begging Hispanic voters not to abandon Democrats.

“I need you badly. You’re the reason why, in large part, I beat Donald Trump,” Biden told the crowd.

A comprehensive review by an international consortium of scientists has raised serious concerns about the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines’ safety profile.

Review articles are summaries of current research on a particular topic. They are also sometimes called literature reviews or secondary sources.

The review, “N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ): Friend or foe of cancer?” published on Science Direct, delves into the potential implications of a vaccine ingredient—N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ)—that may play a role in immune suppression and cancer proliferation.

m1Ψ was incorporated into Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine to enhance its efficacy.

President Joe Biden’s least-popular Cabinet secretary will skate free from a formal Senate impeachment trial.

The Senate dismissed two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday.

The move guarantees that Mayorkas won’t stand trial in the upper chamber.

The secretary faced charges of willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law and breach of public trust, according to The Washington Post.

“Throughout his tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas has repeatedly violated laws enacted by Congress regarding immigration and border security,” the first article said. “In large part because of his unlawful conduct, millions of aliens have illegally entered the United States on an annual basis with many unlawfully remaining in the United States.

Joe Biden has always been a prolific liar and plagiarist, but on Wednesday he took things to another level.

While attempting to disparage former President Donald Trump for ‘skipping out’ on a 2018 visit to a military cemetery outside Paris (when in fact the Navy made a ‘bad-weather’ call), Biden claimed that his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. “Bozey” Finnegan Jr., was shot down in World War II and eaten by cannibals.

“He was a hell of an athlete, they tell me, when he was a kid. He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones, and he got shot down in New Guinea. They never found the body because there used to be, there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea,” Biden said during a Wednesday stop in Pittsburgh – an account which appears in the official transcript of his remarks.

“They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane,” Biden continued.

Except that’s total bullshit of course

As Jonathan Turley points out, there was a survivor who gave a detailed account of how Finnegan and another man remained in the plane as it sank. What’s more, Bozey’s plane was not shot down – it was a Douglas A-20 Havoc with two Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior 9-cylinder radial engines. The plane had mechanical problems when it crashed near New Guinea and simply sank into the ocean.

“On May 14, 1944, an A-20 havoc (serial number 42-86768), with a crew of three and one passenger, departed Momote Airfield, Los Negros Island, for a courier flight to Nadzab Airfield, New Guinea. For unknown reasons, this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea. Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft’s nose hit the water hard. Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.”

The ‘whistleblower’ who sparked Donald Trump’s first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Biden’s office reveal.

In 2019, then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella touched off a political firestorm when he anonymously accused Trump of linking military aid for Ukraine to a demand for an investigation into alleged Biden corruption in that country.

But four years earlier, while working as a national security analyst attached to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office, Ciaramella was a close adviser when Biden threatened to cut off U.S. aid to Ukraine unless it fired its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Ukraine-based Burisma Holdings. At the time, the corruption-riddled energy giant was paying Biden’s son Hunter millions of dollars.

Those payments – along with other evidence tying Joe Biden to his family’s business dealings – received little attention in 2019 as Ciaramella accused Trump of a corrupt quid pro quo. Neither did subsequent evidence indicating that Hunter Biden’s associates had identified Shokin as a “key target.” These matters are now part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

“It now seems there was material evidence that would have been used at the impeachment trial [to exonerate Trump],” said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, who has testified as an expert witness in the ongoing Biden impeachment inquiry. “Trump was alleging there was a conflict of interest with the Bidens, and the evidence could have challenged Biden’s account and established his son’s interest in the Shokin firing.”

Ciaramella’s role – including high-level discussions with top Biden aides and Ukrainian prosecutors – is only now coming to light thanks to the recent release of White House emails and photos from the National Archives.

The emails show Ciaramella expressed shock – “Yikes” is what he wrote – at Biden’s move to withhold the $1 billion in aid from Kyiv, which represented a sudden shift in U.S. policy. They also show he was drawn into White House communications over how to control adverse publicity from Hunter taking a lucrative seat on Burisma’s board.

White House officials are weighing whether to declare a national climate emergency several months out from the 2024 election, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

President Joe Biden’s top advisers have returned to conversations about declaring such a national climate emergency, though those in discussion appear to be divided on the move, the sources told Bloomberg. While the move, the sources say, would stunt offshore drilling and curb greenhouse gas emissions, others think the move would help energize youth voters, particularly those with a focus on climate, Bloomberg reported.

“President Biden has treated the climate crisis as an emergency since day one and will continue to build a clean energy future that lowers utility bills, creates good-paying union jobs, makes our economy the envy of the world and prioritizes communities that for too long have been left behind,” White House spokesperson Angelo Fernandez Hernandez told the outlet while not commenting directly on the reported discussions.

Rep Thomas Massie was the lone Republican who voted against the bill

More than a dozen House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning Iran’s airstrikes on Israel Thursday.

The resolution, which also affirms U.S. support for Israel responding to the attack however it deems necessary, overwhelmingly passed 404 to 14. Just one House Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted against the bill.

Fox News Digital reached out to Massie for comment.

Massie was joined by 13 Democrats, including “Squad” member Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; Cori Bush, D-Mo.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.; and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., was also among those opposing the bill.

“They could do whatever they want to, say whatever they want.”

Columbia’s campus is roiled by antisemitism, yet Ike amid WWII demanded atrocities against Jews be recorded — or risk ‘propaganda’ dismissals

Dwight D. Eisenhower’s career achievements are unparalleled in American history.

Popular two-term president. Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe in World War II. Led the epic D-Day invasion, helped reclaim postwar peace, launched NASA into orbit, sent America rolling down the interstate highway system.

Also mentored a then-future president, Ronald Reagan, on everything from national security to running for higher office.

Ike also served for five years as president of Columbia University.

Given the chaos and disruption on that campus in April 2024, however, it is almost unimaginable that a five-star general of his caliber would lead that institution of higher learning today.

He took the position at the top of the elite New York City Ivy League university in May 1948 — and resigned from it only after he won election to the U.S. presidency and moved into the White House in January 1953.

Joe Biden on Thursday continued campaigning in Pennsylvania and made a stop in Philadelphia.

This is Biden’s last day in Pennsylvania this week before he returns to the White House.

So far, Biden’s stops in Scranton and Pittsburgh have been total disasters.

A protestor was removed from Biden’s Philly event. Notice how small the room is. Biden can’t even fill a small venue in deep blue Philadelphia.

As usual, Biden’s speech was full of gaffes and lies.

“I see a future with a planet! We save the planet as this guy busting his neck doing. From climate change. Literally!” Biden said.

Then he dropped this gem…

“Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy? Because that’s America!” Biden shouted.

“It’s other people’s problem” is what I hear from many Americans when they consider the more than 100,000 drug deaths a year in this country.

When they see the scenes in Kensington, Philadelphia, that I described last week, it seems easy for some to pass it off as other people’s problem.

“Who doesn’t know that heroin is dangerous?” they think. “Of course your life is going to fall apart if you start taking tranq.”

Perhaps we should be thinking something different.

If this country is going to get serious about its epidemic of lost lives, perhaps we should think, “OK, maybe it won’t be you. But it could be someone you love. It could easily be someone you know.”

Many readers have told me in messages over the last couple of weeks how closely the drug catastrophe has affected them. You don’t think it’s going to get close to you until it does.

That was certainly the case with Julia Ghahramani.

The 26-year-old first-year lawyer was one of three young New York professionals who were killed in one night — March 18, 2021 — by fentanyl poisoning.

We’ve made great strides. This will reverse the strides.”

ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Wes Moore today announced the start of the Port of Baltimore Worker Support Program, which will provide temporary cash assistance to eligible workers who have lost income and work hours due to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. The $15 million program, established through executive order and authorized by the Maryland Protecting Opportunities and Regional Trade (PORT) Act, will be administered by the Maryland Department of Labor.

“This new program will provide $430 in weekly relief to Port workers who have lost pay and work hours due to the Key Bridge collapse,” said Gov. Moore. “Our mission is to help as many people as we can during this difficult time – including Port workers who have already applied for unemployment insurance benefits; including Port workers who are receiving unemployment insurance; and including independent contractors and self-employed workers who work at the Port and are losing income because of the collapse.”

To be eligible for the Worker Support Program, individuals need to have worked at the Port of Baltimore at least 25 times or earned at least $5,000 from Port jobs between January 1 and March 26, 2024. Employees of Port businesses, independent contractors, solo owner-operators, and the self-employed who work at the Port’s public and private terminals are eligible for the Worker Support Program.

“Port of Baltimore workers are critical to our state and our economy. It’s urgent we get them the financial help they need now to support their families as they remain ready and available to get back to work when the Port fully reopens,” said Maryland Secretary of Labor Portia Wu. “The Department of Labor has been working around the clock to launch this effort, and we’ll be working just as hard to get applications processed and money out the door to the workers who need it.”

Information on the Port of Baltimore Worker Support Program, including the application, is available at labor.maryland.gov/portworkersupport

The Maryland Department of Labor will open a temporary service center and provide in-person help to answer questions about eligibility and to fill out application forms starting on Monday, April 22, at noon. The service center is located at 2501 Broening Highway in Baltimore City. Beginning Tuesday, April 23, the site will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays until further notice.

Last week, the Maryland Department of Labor announced the launch of the Worker Retention Program to help Port of Baltimore businesses retain employees as the Port recovers from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. As of Friday morning, 58 businesses have received approval for grant awards, totaling $4.54 million in assistance, which will protect the jobs of 824 Marylanders.

In addition to the Port of Baltimore Worker Support Program from the Maryland Department of Labor, three additional programs established by the governor’s executive order and authorized by the PORT Act will launch on Monday, April 22, through the Maryland Department of Commerce and the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development.

All 8 major projects now in progress lie outside U.S. Territorial Sea

Among all the nations pushing land-based or offshore wind-energy agendas, Russia is strangely missing. And while China, the world’s largest supplier of rare earth elements needed for wind turbines, is among the countries pushing wind energy, it is also building 43 new coal-fired power plants.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s Green New Deal wind turbines are killing whales, they’re destroying America’s fishing industry, they;re exploding bats’ lungs, they are chopping up flocks of birds, they’re reportedly causing a national defense issue by generating numerous false signals picked up by military radar, and also giving false signals to weather radar, causing complicated navigational challenges, and last but not least, are widely seen as an unreliable source of energy.

Yet, wind turbines are being built in the oceans to replace the reliable and cheap energy sources on which the United States has long relied. And of course, as wind farms are constructed, traditional energy power plants are being shut down.

Now comes a new and largely unspoken concern: These American wind turbines are all located outside of the U.S. Territorial Sea.

There are four official zones off the U.S. coast. From the low-water line along the coast, extending out 12 nautical miles (14 miles), there is what is called America’s “Territorial Sea”: “The territorial sea is sovereign territory, although foreign ships (military and civilian) are allowed innocent passage through it, or transit passage for straits; this sovereignty also extends to the airspace over and the seabed below.”

From the end of the Territorial Sea, the next 12 nautical miles (14 miles) are the “Contiguous Zone,” in which the U.S. can “exercise limited control to prevent or punish ‘infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations within its territory or territorial sea.'”

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday after day two of his hush-money trial visited the Harlem bodega where store clerk Jose Alba, 61, defended himself after being attacked by a violent customer in July 2022.

Alba was arrested and charged with second-degree murder after he stabbed the customer, Austin Simon, 35. Before that, Simon was captured on video going behind the counter and attacking him.

The charges were later dropped, and Alba is suing the city

Trump was greeted by a crowd chanting, “Four more years!” in the Democrat stronghold of Manhattan.

“This is a very exciting time for me because the bodegas association invited me. And I respect them, and they respect me. They want law and order, they have tremendous crime, tremendous crime over there, stores are being robbed,” he said.

“New York’s a lot different. And we’ll work with the mayor. We will work with the governor. And we’ll bring a lot of federal money, but we have to straight out New York. And that includes crime,” he added.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Newsmax on Tuesday that it’s indefensible for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to shirk his constitutional obligation and outright dismiss the House impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Johnson and Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., joined “Rob Schmitt Tonight” to blast what Republican lawmakers are expecting Schumer to do — dismiss the impeachment articles against Mayorkas.

“We’re surely doing everything we can to pressure him into actually having a trial,” Johnson told Schmitt. “The House managers should be given an opportunity to make their case so the Senate can hear the evidence. I don’t see how Senator Schumer can defend the part, you know, just completely dismissing or tabling the impeachment. Again, it would be completely unprecedented, never happened before. This is our constitutional obligation to try an impeachment that’s been brought over by the House managers.”

A student earlier this week was caught on tape assaulting a North Carolina high school teacher during a vulgar diatribe. But the pupil is only being charged with misdemeanors despite the violent act.

The short video of the assault, which The North Carolina Beat first obtained, shows the youth confronting the teacher inside Parkland High School in Winston-Salem before viciously slapping her twice. He can be heard calling the teacher a “b*tch,” taunts her multiple times, and even drops the N-word.

The students behind the camera can be heard ooohing and laughing while the assault takes place.

Surprisingly, the teacher keeps her cool despite the pupil’s horrific behavior.

Flood-control wall actually destroyed property’s value

The U.S. Supreme Court has unveiled a 9-0 ruling setting out a definitive path for people whose property is impacted by government actions, even well-intentioned actions, to claim compensation.

The decision came in DeVillier et al. v Texas where the state of Texas decided to designate a highway, Interstate 10 between Houston and Beaumont, as a flood evacuation route, and so built a high concrete barrier in the median to contain floodwaters.

The problem developed when the barrier worked, and held floodwaters on lands belonging to Richard DeVillier and more than 120 others, damaging that property.

The state rejected any claims for compensation, and that led eventually to the Supreme Court decision, written by Justice Clarence Thomas.

The opinion said, “The dispute here arose after the state of Texas took action to use portions of I–10 as a flood evacuation route, installing a roughly 3-foot-tall barrier along the highway median to act as a dam. When subsequent hurricanes and storms brought heavy rainfall, the median barrier performed as intended, keeping the south side of the highway open.

Attorney General Merrick Garland received a final warning Tuesday to comply with subpoenas for the audio of President Joe Biden’s  interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

If Garland does not comply, he will face contempt of Congress proceedings, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote Garland.

Biden’s Justice Department previously offered to provide the transcript of Hur’s interview with Biden’s book ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, Axios reported, but Republicans say Biden’s transcript and audio are needed to conduct oversight of the president’s classified document scandal. The Republicans wrote:

On February 27, 2024, the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability issued subpoenas to you for a narrow and specific set of material in the Department of Justice’s possession relating to Special Counsel Robert K. Hur’s investigation of President Joe Biden’s ‘willful’ mishandling of classified documents. Your response to the subpoenas remains inadequate, suggesting that you are withholding records for partisan purposes and to avoid political embarrassment for President Biden.

“If the Department continues to withhold materials responsive to the Committees’ subpoenas—namely, the audio recordings of Special Counsel Hur’s interviews with President Biden and Mr. Zwonitzer—we will have no choice but to invoke contempt of Congress proceedings,” they continued.

“To avoid this, the Committees expect you to produce all responsive materials no later than 12:00 p.m. on April 25, 2024,” the lawmakers added.

One of the things then-President Donald Trump hyper-focused on was America’s economic competition with China. In fact, it was such a huge concern for Trump that his saying “Chynah” became an internet meme.

But current President Joe Biden doesn’t seem to remember any of that.

According to The Hill, Biden seems to believe that it never even “occurred” to Trump to get tough on China:

The president also said to boost competition with China, he has revitalized partnerships in the Pacific with countries including India, Australia, South Korea and the Philippines, and he has advanced technologies that can’t be sent to China in order to protect U.S. national security.

“For all this tough talk on China, it never occurred to my predecessor to do any of that,” Biden said.

“The bottom line is, I want fair competition with China, not conflict, and we’re in a stronger position to win the economic competition of the 21st century against China or anyone else because we’re investing in America and American workers again,” he added.

The president also argued that Trump and Republicans are wrong with their rhetoric that China is a country on the rise.

“Trump simply doesn’t get it,” he said.

In truth, Trump came down on China so hard that the left got nervous on more than one occasion and claimed that Trump was going to do damage to the United States with all the tariffs he was passing. It was one of the first things he got up to when he first entered office.

Last week Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) wrote in a Tuesday op-ed that officials from 15 federal agencies “knew in 2018 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was trying to create a coronavirus like COVID-19.”

These officials knew that the Chinese lab was proposing to create a COVID 19-like virus and not one of these officials revealed this scheme to the public. In fact, 15 agencies with knowledge of this project have continuously refused to release any information concerning this alarming and dangerous research.

Government officials representing at least 15 federal agencies were briefed on a project proposed by Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. -Rand Paul

Paul was referring to the DEFUSE project, which was revealed after DRASTIC Research uncovered documents showing that DARPA had been presented with a proposal by EcoHealth Alliance to perform gain-of-function research on bat coronavirus.

International Man: According to a recent study by Investopedia, the classic middle-class American Dream now costs over $3.4 million.

That’s the estimated lifetime cost of marriage, two children, cars, homes, healthcare, education, and retirement. It’s now entirely out of reach for many Americans.

Doug Casey: The fact is, despite the fact that his standard of living has been slipping over the past 50 years, the average American today lives much better and longer than a king during pre-industrial times. There were never any guarantees that Americans would live in the lap of luxury for their entire lives.

We got to this high standard of living for two reasons. One, people tended to produce more than they consumed and saved the difference. And two, technology has been improving at almost the rate of Moore’s law for the last 200 years.

However, there’s no guarantee that either of these fonts of progress will continue, especially since savings are being wiped out by the destruction of the dollar. A lack of savings means there won’t be a capital pool to finance further advances in technology.

But there are other serious things at work, termites eating away at the foundations of civilization. It’s become customary for Americans to think that it’s okay for some people to live their entire lives without producing at all and to live at the expense of others. A lot of the country is on welfare. And many more are buried in consumer debt, which means they’re either living off the capital others have saved in the past, or they’re mortgaging their own futures.

On top of that, since about 1980, the main export of the US hasn’t been Boeings or soybeans; it’s been dollars. Foreigners have accepted those paper dollars in exchange for real wealth. They’re really just another form of debt. At some point—soon—they’ll repatriate them in exchange for titles to land and companies.

Capital is also being destroyed by the constant wars that the US fights against trivial countries on the other side of the world.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid suggested that the politically-motivated prosecution of Donald Trump is a “wonderfully poetic” form of racial revenge.

Reid made the comments after jury selection began for Trump’s criminal trial in New York, where he is charged with falsifying business records to conceal a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

“For me, there is something wonderfully poetic about the fact that the first person to criminally prosecute Donald Trump is a black Harvard grad,” Reid said Tuesday on MSNBC.

“And a black woman is doing the same exact thing in Georgia. And a black woman forced you to pay a $175 million dollar fine,” she added.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush-money case against former President Donald Trump an “abomination” on Wednesday.

Additionally, Barr revealed, despite past differences and concerns about a Trump second term, that he plans to vote for the presumptive GOP nominee in November.

Regarding Bragg’s charges against Trump, Barr told Fox News, “I’ve said from the beginning this case is an abomination. You know it’s obviously political, seven years after he pays hush money, to try to come up with this case.”

“It’s not only far-fetched, they’re trying to predicate it on a federal crime, which wasn’t prosecuted. And they’re wrong about it. This was not a campaign contribution. They’re just wrong on the law,” the former Trump AG added.

The apparent theory of Bragg’s case is that then-Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen made an in-kind contribution to the Trump presidential campaign in excess of federal limits.

Tyler Robinson, a special advisor at the United States Small Business Administration (SBA), recently revealed to an O’Keefe Media Group undercover journalist the inner workings of the Biden Administration and who is really running the White House.

Robinson says he reports to Arthur Plews, SBA Chief of Staff, who reports to SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman.

He revealed that some refer to former Facebook board member and Biden Chief of Staff Jeff Zients as “the second most powerful person in Washington” and that “by getting Jeff’s sign off, you’re getting the President to sign off.”

“Whatever this guy says, it’s what the President says,” Robinson told an undercover journalist. Robinson also said Jeff Zients is the most powerful person at the White House, “other than like the President.” Zients is even more powerful than Kamala Harris “in some ways” but “not legally,” according to Robinson.

Assistant District Attorney Adriane Love shouted at Judge Ural Glanville on Wednesday after she was told she wasn’t properly handling the RICO case against Young Thug, AKA, Jeffrey Williams, and other defendants.

“Well, then you all should have gotten yourself together beforehand,” the judge said to Love.

Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy on Wednesday questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland on why the Department of Justice (DOJ) allowed the statute of limitations to expire on Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes.

Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves of the District of Columbia decided not to partner with special counsel David Weiss on the Hunter Biden case, leading to the statute of limitations expiring for potential tax charges in D.C. related to the president’s son’s income from Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings. Kennedy accused the president’s son of various tax crimes and asked the attorney general why the DOJ enabled enough time to pass by to the point where Hunter cannot be prosecuted.

The Chinese Communist Party is secretly lobbying the U.S. Congress regarding TikTok, according to Capitol Hill staffers familiar with the situation.

The Chinese Embassy has been holding meetings with congressional employees to lobby against the legislation that would force a sale of TikTok or else ban the Chinese app in the United States, two Capitol Hill staffers familiar with China’s lobbying efforts told Politico.

Chinese diplomats reportedly met with Capitol Hill offices to lobby on behalf of TikTok after the legislation was overwhelmingly passed in March by the U.S. House of Representatives, making its way over to the Senate for review.

President Biden twice implied Wednesday that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea after his plane crashed during World War II — even though military records show that the aircraft plunged into the Pacific.

“He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time,” Biden initially told reporters after visiting a war memorial that bears his uncle’s name in Scranton, Pa.

“They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane.”

Veteran National Public Radio (NPR) editor and reporter Uri Berliner resigned from the broadcaster Wednesday after being suspended without pay for publishing a lengthy essay calling out the networks’ innate left-wing bias.

“I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years,” Berliner posted on his X social media account.  “I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism.”

Berliner further detailed he “cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press essay.”

A Wisconsin registered sex offender who identifies as a “transgender vampire” has been convicted of sexually assaulting a mentally disabled girl — and charged with homicide for allegedly strangling a similarly disabled man.

Adam “Sabrina” Hetke, 35, was convicted last week of first-degree sexual assault by threatening the use of a dangerous weapon and second-degree assault of a mentally ill victim for an attack on a 16-year-old developmentally disabled girl.

Hetke was already a registered sex offender and was released from prison in November 2020

The Waukesha County Freeman reports, “According to the complaint in the case, Hetke met a 16-year-old girl with cognitive disabilities at a Waukesha gas station on July 6, 2021, went to her nearby home, and allegedly sexually assaulted her while keeping a knife nearby and threatening to use it before she jumped out of a bedroom window.”

Berlin, MD – Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack conducted a targeted traffic safety initiative at the intersection of US-50 and MD-610 on Monday. This location was chosen for its high incidence of motor vehicle collisions, some of which involved fatalities. Over the past three years, troopers have
responded to over 50 collisions at this specific intersection. The operation confirmed a concerning combination of drivers on MD-610 disregarding stop signs and drivers on US-50 speeding.\

The initiative involved staging a seemingly broken-down vehicle equipped with a trooper – on the lookout for traffic violations. Troopers were able to target numerous instances where individuals failed to stop before crossing US-50, a key factor contributing to the area’s accident rate. During the four hour initiative, troopers made 71 traffic stops at the intersection, the majority of which were for failure to come to a full and complete stop prior to crossing US-50. Other traffic violations included excessive speed and distracted driving violations.

“Our goal is to ensure the safety of all motorists traveling through Maryland, particularly at intersections known for higher levels of traffic incidents,” said First Sergeant Thistle, the assistant commander of the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack. “This initiative is part of our ongoing effort to reduce accidents and save lives. The disregard for stop signs at this specific intersection is
unacceptable, and we urge drivers to adhere to traffic laws designed to protect everyone on the road.

The Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack is committed to ongoing traffic safety enforcement and education efforts to address this critical issue. Additional patrols and enforcement actions are planned for the future to further deter dangerous driving behaviors and enhance road safety.
