1. Blood Pressure Drug Recalled Nationwide, FDA Announces

   When a prescription drug is recalled, often it’s a generic version that’s being pulled from market. But this time, it’s a name-brand blood pressure drug by a pharmaceutical company with its own recognizable name.

2. Fossil fuels? The biogenic theory scientifically at an end – Part 1

   The first part deals with the prevailing theory and its flaws – the origin of petroleum and natural gas from biological fossils. This has been challenged as false for decades, because the formation occurs deep within the Earth and is entirely abiogenic

3. No Fourth Amendment in American airports?

   An American in an American airport on American soil has to surrender his rights to an American customs agent? What is this sorcery?

4. Zuckerberg’s Manifesto About the Glorious Freedoms AI Will Bring Was Completely Contradicted by His Own CTO During a Company Meeting

   According to Zuckerberg, in the future “everyone will have an exceptionally capable personal agent that understands you, your goals, and everything you care about. Your agent will work 24/7 on your behalf to improve your relationships, health, career, finances, home management, hobbies, and more.” Now contrast this to what Zuckerberg’s own lieutenant, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, is actually telling employees behind the scenes.

5. The Left is finally paying the price for its idiotic belief in open borders

   ‘I was involved, and a lot of people, a lot of broadcasters, TV presenters were. We were all fooled at one stage by the government. Remember, I did that dumb song, “Get Vax, Baby.” Oh, I thought I was doing the right thing,’ Sandilands said.

8. From “Designed Viruses” to “Digital Telepathy” – AI Panic Kicks into Overdrive

   This is painfully unsubtle propaganda, obviously hoping to play on both the Covid-inspired fear of viruses and trendy gain-of-function panic. A crossover episode, the Batman vs Superman of modern panic narratives.

9. A small example of contagion

   For years, the political class has been quick to point to the occasional day when wind and solar have been able to meet our demand for electricity, while ignoring the 60 percent of the time when we are dependent upon a mixture of nuclear and gas generation.

1. Breakthrough To Restore Aging Joints Could Help Treat Osteoarthritis

   The general assumption for decades has been that once the cartilage in a joint has broken down, it can’t be regrown.
