AstraZeneca to build its largest facility EVER with $50B investment in Virginia

This will be AstraZeneca's largest single manufacturing investment in history.

On Monday, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced that AstraZeneca, a global biopharmaceutical company, has selected Virginia for its newest facility as part of the company's plan to invest $50 billion in the United States by 2030, according to a press release.

The drug substance manufacturing facility will leverage "AI, automation, and data analytics to optimise production, particularly in oncology, cardiovascular, renal, metabolism, respiratory, immunology, and rare diseases," the press release states. AstraZeneca did not disclose the exact location of the facility, but noted that it will be the company's largest single manufacturing investment in history.

"Today's announcement underpins our belief in America's innovation in biopharmaceuticals and our commitment to the millions of patients who need our medicines in America and globally," said Pascal Soriot, CEO of AstraZeneca. "It will also support our ambition to reach $80 billion in revenue by 2030. I look forward to partnering with Governor Youngkin and his team to work on our largest single manufacturing investment ever. It reflects the Commonwealth of Virginia's desire to create highly skilled jobs in science and technology, and will strengthen the country's domestic supply chain for medicines."

AstraZeneca, based in the United Kingdom, sells pharmaceuticals in over 125 countries, serving millions of people worldwide.

Governor Youngkin, a Republican, welcomed the company's "transformational investment" in the Commonwealth of Virginia, writing in the press release, "This project will set the standard for the latest technological advancements in pharmaceutical manufacturing, creating hundreds of highly skilled jobs and helping further strengthen the nation's domestic supply chain."

"Advanced manufacturing is at the heart of Virginia's dynamic economy, so I am thrilled that AstraZeneca, one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, plans to make their largest global manufacturing investment here in the Commonwealth," said Youngkin.

According to AstraZeneca, the US expansion will enable the company to meet its five-year target of producing half of its annual revenue in the United States. The corporation currently employs over 18,000 people in the United States and operates 19 R&D and manufacturing centers in America, WTOP News reported.

The US expansion comes as President Trump threatened to enact high tariffs on large pharmaceutical corporations, urging such companies to commit to manufacturing and research in the United States or risk penalties. Several additional pharmaceutical companies, such as Novartis, Sanofi, Roche, and Johnson & Johnson, have also declared their intention to expand in the US.

Israeli media with 1984 level propaganda

Unprecedented attack on Israel at UN Security Council over alleged Gaza humanitarian crisis

US stands alone in backing Israel at heated session, rejecting accusations of genocide and defending its right to self-defense, while much of the international community condemns blockade and military actions in Gaza; US envoy: 'The responsibility for civilian deaths lies with Hamas'

At a tense UN Security Council session on Wednesday, the United States stood alone in defense of Israel as a wave of harsh international criticism accused Jerusalem of using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza. While many countries condemned Israel’s military actions, the U.S. reiterated its support for Israel’s right to self-defense and called on Hamas to accept the current ceasefire deal.

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea said that the Middle East has a “clear path” toward a better future, starting with a ceasefire that would free the remaining 50 Israeli hostages, disarm Hamas and lead to its permanent departure from Gaza.

“Hamas’ continued hold on Gaza undermines Israel’s security and rewards terror,” Shea said, emphasizing that Hamas is solely responsible for the October 7 massacre and for rejecting multiple ceasefire offers.

She dismissed accusations of genocide as false and politically motivated, calling them a propaganda tool used by Hamas. “The U.S. supports Israel’s right to self-defense,” she said, adding that Washington recognizes Israel’s efforts to limit civilian harm and facilitate humanitarian aid.

“The responsibility for civilian deaths lies with Hamas, which rejected ceasefire proposals,” Shea continued. She stressed that the U.S. opposes the forced displacement of Palestinians, affirming U.S. President Donald Trump’s stance that “no one will be deported,” and called on Hamas to accept the deal on the table.

She also expressed condolences for the civilians killed in a strike on a Gaza church and called for an investigation and assurances of civilian protection. Shea also addressed humanitarian aid, saying it must flow into Gaza without benefiting Hamas. She acknowledged the IDF’s efforts to minimize harm to civilians and condemned Hamas’s use of human shields, which violates international law.

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, accused the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) of colluding with Hamas, presenting evidence of links between senior officials and the terror group. “OCHA is no longer a humanitarian body,” Danon said.

The Untouchables: The Sexual Predators Within America’s Power Elite. “Protect the Predators not the Victims”

Once again, the American police state is choosing to protect predators, not victims.

Jeffrey Epstein—the hedge fund billionaire/convicted serial pedophile and sex trafficker—may be dead, but the machinery that empowered and protected him is still very much alive.

You see, the Epstein case was never just about Epstein—it was about the entire edifice of power that shields the ruling class, silences victims, and erases accountability.

Thus, the latest about-face declarations from the Trump administration—that Epstein had no client list, that he did in fact kill himself, and that there’s nothing more to discuss or investigate so we should just move on—have only reinforced what many have suspected all along: the system is rigged in order to protect the power elite because the power elite are the system.

In this age of partisan politics and a deeply polarized populace, corruption—especially when it involves sexual debauchery, depravity and predatory behavior—has become the great equalizer.

With the reemergence of Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost in the public discourse, we are once again reminded of just how deep the rot goes.

Politics, religion, entertainment, business, law enforcement, the military—it doesn’t matter the arena or affiliation: all are riddled with the kind of seedy, depraved behavior that gets a free pass when it involves the powerful.

For years, the Epstein case has stood as a grotesque emblem of the depravity within America’s power elite: billionaires, politicians, and celebrities who allegedly trafficked in sex with young girls while insulated from accountability.

It is believed that Epstein, who died in jail after being arrested on charges of molesting, raping and sex trafficking dozens of young girls, operated a sex trafficking ring not only for his own personal pleasure but also for that of his friends and business associates.

According to The Washington Post, “several of the young women…say they were offered to the rich and famous as sex partners at Epstein’s parties.”

Prosecutors say Van Buren officer tried to meet with 14-year-old girl for sex

Prosecutors say a Van Buren police officer was trying to meet a 14-year-old girl for sex when he was arrested, according to a document read in Crawford County court on Wednesday morning.

Jason Matthew Scites, 45, was arrested and accused of internet stalking of a child on Monday.

His bond was set at $500,000.

Scites had been messaging the girl on TikTok. According to the probable cause arrest affidavit, he was unaware that the account had been taken over by a police investigator when Scites arranged to meet the girl behind a convenience store.

Scites asked to be assigned a public defender.

Van Buren Police Chief Jonathan Wear fired Scites when he was arrested. He also submitted a request to have Scites' law enforcement certification removed.
