Veterans Affairs medical examiners are now required to consider the effects of medication on a veteran’s health condition when assigning a disability rating under a new regulation published Tuesday by the department. Effective immediately, examiners will determine a veteran’s level of disability including the effects of medication or treatment — the “actual level of functional impairment under the ordinary conditions of daily life” — according to an interim final rule in the Federal Register. Examiners are not allowed to estimate a veteran’s disability level if they were off their medications, and if a medication or treatment lowers the level of…

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) says that the Epstein files may contain “crimes against humanity.” We would say that it is almost a certainty that those files contain these violations. The UNHRC released a statement in response to the millions of files released by the United States ruling class related to criminal investigations into the late financier, Jeffrey Epstein. The UNHRC also demanded that all perpetrators be prosecuted no matter The Obama Administration’s Prostitution Scandal And The Ruemmler-Epstein Connection The Clintons Will Testify In Epstein Probe The Epstein files reveal instances of “sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance,…

When a service member goes missing, the first hours can determine whether they are found safely — or not at all. But a new watchdog report found that unclear timelines and inconsistent processes across the services could delay lifesaving responses when time is critical. The Government Accountability Office said in a report released last week that the Navy and Air Force lack clearly-defined timelines for response steps when service members are nowhere to be found. The Marine Corps has yet to update formal guidance despite a prior recommendation from the watchdog in 2022. The office found that Navy and Air…

The Department of Veterans Affairs has ended a practice that prevented veterans who can’t manage their finances from owning guns, a change officials say will restore constitutional rights to nearly 200,000 former service members. The VA announced Tuesday it will immediately stop reporting veterans to the FBI’s national background check database if they need a fiduciary to help manage their benefits. Proponents of the decades-old policy have said it protects veterans with mental impairments by limiting access to a lethal means of suicide. But major veteran advocacy groups and gun rights organizations have long argued the notifications weren’t based on…

Ukraine’s ruler, Volodymyr Zelensky, says that he doesn’t have time “for all this sh*t,” as he becomes increasingly obscene and vulgar in interviews and presentations to the public. Russia’s stance that the Ukraine conflict can only be resolved if its root causes are addressed is also “s**t,” Zelensky has said. The latest verbal attack was quoted by Axios on Tuesday as Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Geneva for US-facilitated talks. Zelensky lashed out at the head of the Russian team, Vladimir Medinsky. A historian by background, Medinsky argues – along with many Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin –…

GENEVA — The latest U.S.-brokered talks between envoys from Moscow and Kyiv over Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine ended Wednesday with no sign of a breakthrough and with both sides saying the talks were “difficult,” as the war’s fourth anniversary approaches next week.The negotiations in Switzerland were the third round of direct talks organized by the U.S., after meetings earlier this year in Abu Dhabi that officials described as constructive but which also made no major headway. Expectations for significant progress in Geneva were low.“The negotiations were not easy,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after the talks broke up and…

Despite a United States-backed ceasefire that has been in effect since October 2025, the death toll in Gaza has topped 600. That number eclipses the thousands when accounting for those wounded in Palestine since the ceasefire officially began. According to a report by RT, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Monday that 603 people had been killed and more than 1,600 injured since the ceasefire came into force on October 11th, 2025. An unspecified number of bodies “remain under the rubble and in the streets,” as rescue teams cannot safely reach many areas, the officials added. It sure…

Turns out, Jeffrey Epstein was involved… Newly released Department of Justice documents from the Epstein files have exposed a previously unknown connection between a 2012 White House advance-team scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, and Kathryn Ruemmler – the former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer. Ruemmler resigned from Goldman late last week, after the latest Epstein document dump revealed her extensive, affectionate, and years-long correspondence with the convicted sex offender. The emails show she called him “Uncle Jeffrey,” accepted expensive gifts, and turned to him for advice on…
