NIH Is Due For An Overhaul After Covid Exposed Lies, Power Abuses, And Conflicts Of Interest

Published

on

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., filed a criminal referral with the Department of Justice against Anthony Fauci for allegedly lying to Congress about the National Institutes of Health’s gain-of-function research. While we don’t desire to see Fauci imprisoned, the complaint demonstrates the severity of the NIH’s deficiencies and the need for sweeping reform.

Any honest assessment of the NIH’s pandemic performance would give it a poor grade. While NIH support for the rapid development of the Covid vaccine deserves some credit, the NIH failed in almost every other aspect of its contribution to the pandemic response.  

With the recent appointment of a new NIH director to replace Francis Collins and a new National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director to replace Anthony Fauci, the time is now to reflect and for Congress to enact structural reforms. But what needs fixing? The most crucial priority is to remove fundamental conflicts of interest brought to light by abuses of these positions by Collins and Fauci.  

Scientific Research vs. Public Health Strategy

During a pandemic emergency, there is a need for urgent scientific research and an open and robust debate on the most appropriate science-based public health policy. The former is the responsibility of the NIH, while the latter is the responsibility of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health departments. If those responsible for public health policy also hold the purse strings of research funding, most scientists will not dare to criticize the hand that feeds them,

‘We Are Men And Women’: Texas Supreme Court Upholds State Protections Against Child Transing

Published

The Texas Supreme Court ruled on Friday to uphold a Lone Star State law that effectively bans gender experimentation on children.

In an 8-1 decision published on Friday, the highest court in the state confirmed the legislature’s May 2023 law prohibiting health care professionals from castrating and mutilating minors does not violate the state constitution, as a trial court had previously concluded.

In fact, Justice Rebeca Aizpuru Huddle, joined by Chief Justice Nathan Hecht, Justice Jeff Boyd, Justice John Phillip Devine, Justice Jimmy Blacklock, Justice Brett Busby, Justice Jane Bland, and Justice Evan Young, affirmed in her majority opinion that the state has a vested interest in protecting children.

“Indeed, we have never held that a fit parent’s interest in caring for her child free from government interference, though weighty, triggers heightened scrutiny of every statute that restricts any asserted right connected to that interest,” Huddle wrote.

Huddle confirmed that the court believes kids, including those struggling with their sex, “deserve the most appropriate treatment together with support, love, and empathy.” She stopped short, however of pinpointing “the most appropriate treatment for a child suffering from gender dysphoria.”

Justice Blacklock, joined by Justice Devine, was far more hard-hitting about the parents and practitioners prescribing irreversible damage to kids as a solution in his concurring opinion.

“We are men and women, irreducibly and inescapably, no matter how we feel. Proceeding from these moral and philosophical premises, the Traditional Vision naturally holds that medicinal or

Tractor Supply’s DEI Reversal Shows The Power Of Citizen Activism

Published

on

Tractor Supply announced Thursday it is no longer implementing neo-Marxist initiatives throughout the company, marking a rare win for conservatives seeking to restore sanity to American institutions.

“We work hard to live up to our Mission and Values every day and represent the values of the communities and customers we serve,” a company press release reads. “We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them. We have taken this feedback to heart. Going forward, we will ensure our activities and giving tie directly to our business.”

The announcement came after conservative filmmaker and former congressional candidate Robby Starbuck unearthed the company’s infatuation with so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI),” a poisonous left-wing framework that dismisses merit and instead discriminates based on characteristics such as skin color and sex. Individuals who qualify for a certain position on merit but don’t meet the discriminating entity’s goal of being more “diverse” are often passed over in favor of those who meet institutionally preferred identitarian standards.

Over the course of several weeks, Starbuck revealed how Tractor Supply implemented these left-wing ideologies throughout its company and financially supported related causes. Some of the policies adopted by the outdoor retail giant included publishing charts analyzing how many racial minorities it hired, flying LGBT flags at distribution centers, and partaking in LGBT “pride” events.

Media Finally Admit Biden Poses Grave Danger To Country After Years Of Defensive Coverage

Published

on

Last week, the White House and its left-wing media apparatus adopted a new phrase, “cheap fakes,” to try and deflect from the decrepit president, Joe Biden. But there was nothing “fake” about Biden’s Thursday debate performance, which is why the left is now openly — and rightfully — questioning Biden’s fitness for office.

But make no mistake, the media’s deliberate gaslighting of the American public for years about Biden’s health and mental agility has put us in grave danger, and calls for Biden to be replaced are a tacit admission of that.

Axios’ Alex Thompson said on CNN in the wake of the debate that the White House had gaslit and lied not only to the American people about Biden’s age, but also to reporters.

While it may be true that the White House gaslit the public, the media deserves to shoulder just as much blame as the White House, if not more. It doesn’t take an expert to see Biden falling up the stairs, over sandbags, and off his bike to question his physical limitations. It certainly doesn’t take an expert to hear Biden’s incoherent gaffes and mumbling to question his mental acuity.

If an 81-year-old showed up for a job interview acting the way Biden does, he’d be sat in a waiting room until police could determine which nursing home he escaped from. So, an actually functioning press would have relentlessly covered this clear danger to our national security, but instead they published whatever talking points the
