The Biden Administration has extended the emergency declaration for COVID-19 through 2029 in an attempt to prevent liability for mRNA COVID “vaccine” manufacturers…

RFK Jr has discussed!! Doctors warn cooking oil(seed oil)used by millions may be fueling explosion of colon cancers in young people
Certain types of cooking oils may be fueling a surge of colon cancers in young Americans, a government-funded study suggests.
Consuming large amounts of seed oils – which include sunflower, canola, corn and grapeseed – has long been linked to inflammation in the body.
But now a study analyzing the tumors of more than 80 patients with colon cancer has found they may also raise the risk of one of the fastest-growing forms of the disease.
Researchers found patients' tumors had high levels of bioactive lipids, microscopic fatty compounds produced when the body breaks down seed oils.
These lipids are believed to be dangerous in two ways - they promote inflammation which helps cancers grow and they prevent the body from fighting the tumors.
The researchers are urging people to swap from seed oils and instead focus on oils with omega-3 fatty acids such as olive and avocado oil.
America's main cancer and heart disease bodies say there is no evidence that moderate amounts of seed oils contribute to those conditions. But there has been a growing movement against them due to studies suggesting they cause inflammation and raise the risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
Robert F Kennedy Jr, President-Elect Donald Trump's nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, has stated that Americans are being 'unknowingly poisoned by them.

Tren de Aragua spreads to one of America’s most remote states after member of brutal gang is busted there
The Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has now made its mark in 17 US states after at least one member was arrested in one of the smallest and most remote states in the US.
Local cops in West Fargo, North Dakota, arrested Dallas-based suspected gang member Henry Theis, 25, early last month, according to local news reports.
Police originally pulled over Theis for a broken taillight, but soon discovered more than $24,000 in cash he allegedly stole from a nearby bank, two facemasks, black latex gloves, wires and a computer keyboard, according to KXLG.
In August 2024, he was arrested in Lewisville, Texas, for a DWI. However, it’s not clear when or why he was released from custody.

Postmaster General Has Meltdown, Throws Tantrum in Congressional Hearing
A wild congressional hearing descended into a yelling match on Tuesday leading the Unites States Postal Service chief to dramatically cover his ears with his hands.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy had been brought before Congress to testify on the agency's performance and modernization efforts.
The shouting was sparked at a House Oversight Committee hearing titled 'Oversight of the U.S. Postal Service'.
During the exchange Georgia Republican Rep. Rich McCormick lambasted DeJoy for his poor performance heading the agency.
When DeJoy gave himself an 'A grade' for his tenure, the Republican exploded.
'You sir do not get an A grade, you cannot give yourself that grade,' McCormick said.
'I just did,' DeJoy tersely shot back.
'You can't! You can't grade your own paper!' McCormick yelled back. 'You were graded by the United States people and they don't use your service anymore.'
As McCormick continued, DeJoy told the Republican he was talking to himself, and then held his hands up to cover his ears to mock the lawmaker.
When DeJoy pulled the stunt McCormick appeared struck with disbelief.
'I hope you got that on camera,' the Republican said. 'This is the response that the Postmaster just gave Congress when he doesn't like what he hears. Literally covered his ears and gives himself the grade of A.'
During the hearing the committee's chairman, James Comer, R-Ky., noted that the USPS lost nearly $10 billion in 2024. The estimated loss for USPS next year will be $6.5 billion.
'You are responsible for the fall of the Postal Service,' McCormick told DeJoy.
'No, Congress is responsible for the fall of the Postal Service,' the postmaster retorted. 'I am trying to fix the Postal Service.'
Under DeJoy, the agency has sought to add over 100,000 workers to its ranks.
Some lawmakers argue that adding that amount of workers to an agency marred with revenue, delivery and modernization issues could be a job for the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Speaking to Dailymail.com after the hearing, Comer suggested that the USPS could use cost cutting, and Elon Musk's DOGE could be the perfect vehicle to whittle the agency down.

The USPS is DUN its over , outlived its usefulness. It started as a good thing but over the years has turned into a joke. In the digital age it is no longer viable and just another bloated, corrupt Gov. agency with Billions in unfunded pension liabilities. Privatize it or close its doors for good;
Yeah, no more junk mail
He was not that I am aware of. This was a budget hearing I believe.

JUST IN: Lawsuit and Accusations of Rape Against Newsmax Host Ed Henry Unravel After So-Called Victim’s Kinky Sexts Revealed
A new court motion from conservative commentator and former Fox News host Ed Henry discredits allegations of rape from former Fox Business associate producer Jennifer Eckhart, who was 22 years old when the alleged sexual abuse occurred.
Eckhart filed the lawsuit in 2020, alleging Henry “handcuffed and raped” her in 2017.
However, new details have come to light in a motion from Ed Henry’s attorneys, showing that their relationship was consensual, and Eckhart asked for rough sexual encounters, calling herself “weak and submissive” in one message.
She further indulged fantasies about being “slapped around.” Notably, these texts came days after Eckhart claimed the alleged rape occurred.
Henry’s attorneys point to the “highly provocative sexting” as evidence that a sexual encounter on February 10, 2017, which involved a belt and handcuffs, was consensual.
The filing states that Ekhart “sent Ed a photograph of a belt,” telling him that she’d “always obey and make myself available to u.” Another message from this time period reads, “You NEED my 26-year-old p***y.”
Eckhart also sent at least 15 sexually explicit photos to Henry, five of which were not even of herself but other women, according to the new Motion.
Per Daily Mail:
A 2020 lawsuit by former Fox Business associate producer Jennifer Eckhart, 34, accused Henry, 53, of handcuffing, beating and raping her in 2017, after a campaign of predatory ‘grooming’ and ‘manipulation’.
But on Monday, Henry’s lawyers unveiled texts between the two that they claimed show an enthusiastic and ‘consensual’, albeit kinky, relationship.
Just days after she claimed he raped her, Eckhart, 34, texted Henry: ‘You wanna f me,’ ‘Come spread them and slide my bikini off’, ‘Fing dirty boy. I love it,’ and ‘Want it. Badly,’ according to screenshots of text messages in his latest legal filing.
The new court papers also described 15 naked and explicit photos she allegedly sent Henry, who co-hosted the show America’s Newsroom, in the two weeks after the alleged rape.
The filing also claims that Eckhart used out-of-context excerpts of the text messages to make it appear that Henry was harassing her when, in fact, it was all consensual.
“Many of these messages, including most of the ones Jennifer thinks are incriminating, have been cut off to obscure a final comment by Jennifer expressing pleasure, agreement or desire,” the filing reads.
Ten days after the alleged rape, Eckhart sexted Henry “a photograph of herself in black lingerie with the tips of the two middle fingers of her left hand inserted into her panties” and “a photograph of her own fully exposed, slightly parted vagina lathered in soap,” among other similarly provocative photos.
According to the filing, “Ed and Jennifer also continued sexting in the weeks after and months after the alleged rape, with frequent references to rough, consensual sex, with Jennifer often initiating.”
Roger Stone responded to the report from Daily Mail on X, commenting, “Case Against @edhenry destroyed by revealing text messages.”

Texas authorities topple $400,000 multi-state Lego theft ring
TYLER, Texas (KLTV/Gray News) - Texas authorities arrested at least two men involved in a $400,000 scheme to steal Lego sets from Walmart and Target stores across four states and resell them online.
Brian Keith Fleming, 33, and Ladarion Dontre Anderson, 33, were arrested. According to an affidavit, the scheme involves 10 people and has operated for at least two years.
On Oct. 14, 2022, a trooper noticed 19 unopened Cricut machines during a traffic stop, and according to the affidavit, the driver could not explain why they were in the car or where the machines came from.
The driver was arrested for an outstanding warrant and the trooper reached out to Walmart and Target to determine if the machines were stolen.
Authorities obtained a search warrant for two cell phones that were in the car and the text history on those devices helped them launch an investigation that crossed state borders.
The phones revealed conversations about stealing Cricut machines to sell to a third person at a cut rate, according to the affidavit. The texts also mentioned doing the same with Lego sets.
The United States postal inspector ran an investigation on the buyer, who was reportedly paying cash for the items and then reselling them on Amazon, eBay and other online platforms, according to the affidavit.
On March 14, a special agent in Texas was assigned to the case and learned from an Amazon investigator that the seller had handed over a number of invoices for Lego sets that named Fleming directly.
The investigation revealed that Fleming and Anderson were working together with a circle of five “shoppers” to steal the sets from stores across Texas, the affidavit says.
Fleming and Anderson were caught on Walmart surveillance video walking down the Lego aisle before buying a handful of other items, all in the $1 to $2 range.
The document says one of the five shoppers would then go into the store and put a matching number of Lego sets into a cart before walking past the registers and out the door.
If stopped, they would show the receipt for the items Fleming or Anderson had bought, with the names and prices changed. Investigators identified this pattern after detaining several of the shoppers.
The affidavit says Walmart and Target investigators estimated the combined total value of the items stolen to be over $400,000.
Invoices from the reseller show more than 500 Lego sets were resold at or below half of the market price over just four months in 2024.
Fleming and Anderson have both been charged with engaging in organized criminal activity and theft over $300,000.
The arrest documents show over 273 individual thefts, mainly from stores across Texas, but also in Oklahoma, Florida and Pennsylvania.
Port Strike Threat and Trump Tariffs Spark Import Surge at U.S. Container Ports
A potential East Coast and Gulf Coast port strike looming in January, coupled with President-elect Trump’s planned tariff increases, is seen driving volume growth in U.S. container ports through early 2025, the National Retail Federation said Monday.
“Either a strike or new tariffs would be a blow to the economy and retailers are doing what they can to avoid the impact of either for as long as they can,” warns Jonathan Gold, NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy.
The urgency stems from contentious negotiations between the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX), with the current contract extension set to expire January 15th and both sides at an impasse over automation. The deadline, combined with Trump’s planned tariff implementation after his January 20 inauguration, has created a perfect storm for U.S. ports.
Industry expert Ben Hackett highlights automation as a key sticking point in port negotiations, noting that “shippers are moving up as much cargo as they can” before potential disruptions.
The impact is already evident in the numbers. October saw 2.25 million TEUs handled at U.S. ports, showing a robust 9.3% year-over-year increase despite a slight monthly decline. December projections indicate even stronger growth at 2.14 million TEU, marking a 14.3% increase from the previous year.
Looking ahead, the National Retail Federation has significantly revised its forecasts upward in recent months. January 2025 is now expected to handle 2.2 million TEU, a 12% year-over-year increase, while March projections show an impressive 12.7% growth.
According to Drewry’s World Container Index, container spot rates from Shanghai to Los Angeles and New York have declined steadily since their summer peaks, though they remain significantly higher than last year’s rates.
