White House officials said Wednesday that President Donald Trump is committed to making sure overseas and out-of-state military ballots are still counted in upcoming elections, even while he pushes for significant changes in how states handle mail-in voting procedures. But administration officials would not say what protections will be put in place for mail-in military voting rules, which impact more than 1 million active-duty service members each election cycle. In a social media post Monday, Trump vowed to “get rid of mail-in ballots,” claiming they are used to commit widespread voter fraud. Multiple past independent reviews of state mail-in voting…

United States health officials are warning of a deadly flesh-eating bacteria that’s been infecting humans this summer. The bacteria thrive in warm seawater, and the media is fear-mongering, saying this is a chilling reminder of the potential danger associated with vacation pastimes like swimming and wading. Infections are caused by the bacteria Vibrio vulnificus and have a 20% fatality rate according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That makes early and appropriate treatment crucially important, says Northeastern University professor Brandon Dionne, a clinical pharmacist in infectious diseases. “It’s pretty rare when it happens, but it can be very severe,”…

As protests increasingly escalate into violent riots, defending oneself in the chaos becomes a risky proposition, especially when considering its legality. With that in mind, a Michigan lawmaker has introduced a measure that would protect Michigan residents from civil lawsuits when acting in self-defense to escape a violent riot. State law already protects those practicing self-defense from criminal liability, but State Sen. Jim Runestad’s measure would go even further. According to a news release from Michigan Senate Republicans, Senate Bill 500 would expand existing self-defense legal protections to include immunity from civil lawsuits, such as claims for property damage or personal…

The truth, more often than not, is that both sides are right and wrong. Sometimes, however, they’re both flat out stupid. Welcome to Seattle, where a shortage of IQ recently led to a man in a wheelchair pulling a toy gun on a petulantly derranged leftist who promptly shot him in the chest.

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. On 14 August, a study was published by Pre-Prints, a platform that allows studies not yet peer-reviewed to be made publicly available. The paper has coined the term “Hybrid Harms Hypothesis” to describe the compounding effects of mRNA injections and coronavirus infections, where the mRNA “vaccines” and SARS-CoV-2 interact to produce a toxic synergy. The authors argue that mRNA injections deliver toxic spike protein, lipid nanoparticles, and DNA contaminants, which can cause chronic illness, sudden deaths, and excess mortality, and amplify the adverse effects of future SARS-CoV-2 encounters. The paper…

Veterans Affairs leaders are working with Medicare officials to cut down on duplicative billing for veterans medical services, but outside experts say fully fixing the problem will require better record-keeping and patient monitoring by both agencies. But that may be just the start.

RELATEDA new health care analysis released by the RAND Epstein Family Veterans Policy Research Institute on Tuesday found that nearly 84% of the 8.2…
