When Sen. Rand Paul released private texts and messages from Anthony Fauci to the public several weeks ago, it brought the now-former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases back into the national conversation.Many involved in that national conversation have been critical of what the “Fauci diaries” revealed. That the supposedly unbiased “expert” was, in fact, anything but. Instead, he was an arrogant, self-obsessed, fame-hungry, frequently dishonest narcissist.Other “news” outlets like CNN or MSNBC either ignored the controversy over his diary, and the many inconsistencies in it, preferring to avoid humiliating themselves for their past hero worship.ANTHONY FAUCI DIARY ENTRIES SET SOCIAL MEDIA ABLAZE AS CRITICS MOCK, CONDEMN BEHAVIORIt wasn’t just the emails that caused embarrassment for Fauci and his media partners, however. Text messages released by Sen. Ron Johnson showed that he had legitimate concerns over the possibility that COVID vaccines were causing side effects in pregnant mothers. Concerns that warranted further investigation, regardless of the outcome. Well, there are some more new text messages that should cast doubt on both Fauci’s public statements and the media’s all-too-willing promotion of them.One such message came from Michael Osterholm. Osterholm is an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota,…

The critically ill newborn at the center of a bitter surrogate custody fight was placed back on a breathing tube after his condition worsened following open-heart surgery, according to newly filed court documents.The baby is in critical condition and being closely watched at the hospital, intended parents Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed said in filings obtained by TMZ.The couple said the child suffered possible complications after a Norwood procedure, an operation used to treat his severe heart defect, and had to be re-intubated after his condition declined overnight.SURROGATE SAYS BABY ‘RIPPED AWAY’ 60 SECONDS AFTER BIRTH AS CUSTODY FIGHT ERUPTS AFTER ABORTION REFUSAL In a Dallas courtroom Tuesday, Gilkar and Ahmed faced surrogate McKenna West as they fought over who should make medical decisions for the newborn. The clash has drawn national attention because West says she refused the California couple’s earlier request to terminate the pregnancy after the baby was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition.Gilkar and Ahmed call the baby Rumi. West, an Alaska cardiac nurse, calls him Gabriel and is asking a Texas judge to give her sole conservatorship, which would put medical decision-making in her hands.HHS WARNS TEXAS…

Good luck being a leader and trying something new, especially when it comes to fashion. I’ve said it before, I’m not an expert nor will I pretend to be one. That doesn’t mean there aren’t others more than willing to pretend.There are, and they’ve set their sights on Aryna Sabalenka. She dared to show up to the US Open in what haters of fashion have labeled a fishnet dress. The adults out there may refer to it, correctly, as a mesh dress.I’d like to take a moment to thank Dua Lipa for several lessons in fashion, lessons that, let the record show, I retained despite being reluctantly dragged into them.NAOMI OSAKA’S ALL-BLACK FRENCH OPEN OUTFIT RIVALS HER JELLYFISH-INSPIRED LOOK FROM THE AUSTRALIAN OPENIt made it easier to spot what unfolded at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Sabalenka was on the court with her mixed doubles partner Novak Djokovic taking on Kateřina Siniaková and Henry Patten. She and Djokovic ended up losing the match. While dealing with the top-ranked in mixed doubles, the self-appointed fashion experts went on the attack. Who knew a little mesh would cause such a reaction?”How about that – Sabalenka leading the parade of streetwalker chic at the US…

Within the Defense Department’s ongoing efforts to revitalize the industrial supply chain across the military branches, the U.S. Navy announced it is standing up a new defense industrial base office to “expand the domestic manufacturing ecosystem, mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities, and integrate dual-use commercial technologies to enhance the lethality of the Navy-Marine Corps team,” according to a Monday release. Andrew Magliochetti, who previously served as the director of the Navy’s Office of Small Business Programs, was tapped by Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao to become the first deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for the defense industrial base.As the principal civilian advisor to William F. Mahan, the assistant secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition, Magliochetti is “charged with driving the revitalization of the maritime industrial base, fostering supply chain resilience, and accelerating the transition of innovative technologies from the private sector to the Fleet,” according to the release.Magliochetti is tasked with expanding the at times sluggish shipbuilding and U.S. manufacturing and mitigating “supply chain vulnerabilities” that have plagued the Navy in recent decades. Last March, the Government Accountability Office released a report detailing nearly two decades of lackluster progress in U.S. shipbuilding. According to the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democratic Sens. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., and Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., condemned livestreamer Hasan Piker after he said that Jewish Americans will face inevitable consequences for supporting Israel.Last week, Piker told his viewers, “If Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone is going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews.”Slotkin, who is widely believed to be a potential contender for the 2028 presidential election, shared what she called a “response to Hasan Piker’s recent comments on Jews in America being targeted because of their views on Israel.””This shouldn’t be hard: no community should face the threat [of] violence for their political views. Period,” Slotkin shared in a statement posted to social media. “That goes if you’re pro-Israel, pro-Palestine, pro-choice, pro-life or any other cause you care about. And blaming the victims of violence for bringing it on themselves only further endangers people.”ANTISEMITIC STREAMER FINALLY MAKES DEM LEADER SNAP WITH RARE REBUKE: ‘MALICIOUS’ She suggested that this is part of a much larger phenomenon of the normalization of political violence.”In a time where…

She spent more than two months detained at Camp East Montana, a detention facility at Fort Bliss, Texas, where her husband, Army Sgt.

In combat, suppressors on a personal weapon can mitigate noise and muzzle flash, offering a critical stealth advantage against the enemy. But for the service member–typically a special operator–behind the weapon, firing suppressed can mean being on the receiving end of a concentrated stream of toxic gases and particulate matter. As efforts to recognize and address the lesser-known side effects of military training, from mild traumatic brain injuries to hearing loss, have increasingly gone mainstream, some advocates are raising the call to target damage from suppressors as well. The veteran-led group Special Operations Association of America (SOAA) published an article earlier this year airing some findings about the health impacts of aerosolized gases and metal fragments that wash over an operator when a gun with a conventional suppressor is fired. According to Dr. Chris Palmer, a former Pentagon official and chief scientist for the suppressor company HUXWRX Safety Co., they can include long-term conditions ranging from decreased sperm motility and deformities to sleep disorders, Parkinson’s disease, and Bradykinesia, or slowed movement.Operators who spoke with SOAA attested to the physical sensation of suppressor blowback, calling it “a thick grime or dust that covers your head, face, neck, and hands, and even…

The NFL continues to make a concerted effort for safe play for all players, especially when it comes to head injuries.But since chronic traumatic encephalopathy, better known as CTE, was found to be heavily linked to former professional football players, there has been ongoing discussion about how current and future NFL players could be affected.New data published in The BMJ from a recent six-year research period provided some harrowing discoveries.ZERO BS.
