Strip clubs, topless bars, Hooters etc have an opportunity to do something really funny and insist on making their workforce 50% male in order to comply with anti-DEI mandates. Those ladies are taking jobs away from red-blooded American men who need the work

Govt closes all HIV clinics in Uganda thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump interfering with USAID.
Regardless of your thoughts on countries relying on international aid, this is NOT how you treat poor people.
Shameful.

Let's talk about Hep B. There are a lot of myths about this virus & the vaccine used to prevent it. Hep B is a contagious blood borne virus that can cause severe lifelong problems & the vaccine is proven to prevent infection complications including liver cancer (the vaccine prevents cancer!)

If you're going to write "the true story of the Samoa measles outbreak" it's a good idea to include some facts. The author would rather speculate, then later admit he doesn't know what happened but still conclude that RFK had little to do with measles deaths in a weird bootlicking opinion piece.
