[YouTube] Joe Rogan Experience #2294: Dr. Suzanne Humphries
Dr Humphries is a conventionally educated medical doctor who was a participant in conventional hospital systems from 1989 until 2011 as an internist and nephrologist. She left her conventional hospital position in good standing, of her own volition in 2011. Since then, she’s been furthering her research into the medical literature on vaccines, immunity, history, and functional medicine. She is the author of "Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History."
[GatewayPundit] Before that, vaccine manufacturers were getting hammered with lawsuits. Humphries explained that after the 1976 swine flu vaccine disaster, Guillain-Barré cases were piling up. It got so bad that the companies couldn’t even get insurance.
They ran to the government and basically said: "Bail us out, or we’re done making vaccines." So the government stepped in. First, it agreed to cover the lawsuits. Then came the 1986 law—sold to the public as a way to help injured families get compensation faster, but in reality, it became a kangaroo court system that rarely paid families deserving of vaccine injury claims.
Companies like Wyeth (now Pfizer) admitted their vaccines were "unavoidably unsafe," yet instead of making them safer, they were handed blanket immunity.
That freedom also meant cutting corners in safety testing. Most people assume vaccines are tested like other drugs—with placebo controls. But that’s not the case. Instead, vaccines are actually tested against other vaccines, which obscures negative outcomes.

When he was on Fox, I rarely watched Tucker’s show. Now I watch him serially. I will probably listen to this entire Rogan episode and come to identify this formerly fringe person as an authority. I routinely listen to Rogan clips with the expectation that the discourse will be informative. Before I wrote him off as a left wing loon. These changes may be isolated to me but it seems like where we get information is changing. I also listen to many Sean Ryan interviews. He has 4M YouTube followers.

BLUF: Labour sees the Trump spending cuts, but misses that the cuts are tightly targetted at waste, fraud, abuse, and the expensive imposition of Progressive culture on an unwilling nation. Still, less badly aimed public spending is better than more badly aimed spending — it gives the private sector at least a little breathing room to grow.
[Axios] Government spending cuts, an obsession with more efficient government and an economic growth scare: Those are the dynamics on both sides of the Atlantic.
Why it matters: The U.K.'s top economic official announced deep public spending cuts to account for the huge global shifts, including a surge in borrowing costs, since the initial plans were unveiled just last fall.
The austerity plans are evidence of governments adjusting to a world market by higher debt and borrowing costs, a turnaround from the conditions that defined the 2010s.
Driving the news: Rachel Reeves, the U.K.'s chancellor of the exchequer, announced billions in welfare spending cuts, slashing benefits for those sidelined by disability or sickness — a surprising development for a member of the Labour Party.
Reeves also said that the government will look inward and slow the growth in day-to-day spending across departments, with a plan to trim spending by $7 billion more than previously thought in October.
What they're saying: To Americans, Reeves might sound like she took a page from the DOGE playbook.
"In recent months, we have begun to fundamentally reform the British state, driving efficiency and productivity across government," Reeves said in a speech announcing the fiscal plans Wednesday.
Between the lines: The refurbished budget plan was necessary after a big rise in government borrowing costs that sucked up the U.K.'s headroom for spending.
The U.K.'s surge in government bond yields was partly the result of President Trump's election, which set off a global bond sell-off in fear of his spending plans.
The other factor was domestic: In the fall, the U.K. announced a budget with huge spending plans to jumpstart growth that spooked bond investors.
At the beginning of October, the yield on the U.K. 10-year gilt was about 4.1%. After the yield hit almost 4.9% at the start of 2025, it is now at 4.7%.
The big picture: There is a growth scare underway in the U.K. The nation's Office for Budget Responsibility — similar to the Congressional Budget Office — slashed its expectations for U.K. growth this year in half, to 1%.
The hope is that Reeves' investment plans — in defense, particularly — help jumpstart the economy in the long term. Economic growth down the line looked more promising.
In the U.S., the risk of an economic slowdown from tariffs, immigration cutbacks and more could pressure the revenue side of the ledger and keep deficits high.
Reeves said the budget plans come on the back of a "world that is changing before our eyes."
"The global economy has become more uncertain, bringing insecurity at home as trading patterns become more unstable and borrowing costs rise for many major economies."
[JustTheNews] The report also found that while hourly wages are up, average hours worked are down, suggesting employers are cutting hours to reduce labor costs, such as those imposed by the state’s sector-based minimum wages.
The president sure is opening a lot of files. Sunshine, sunshine all around!
The Schiff is about to hit the fan. The White House tweeted with video, "President Trump signs a Presidential Memorandum requiring the immediate declassification of all FBI files relating to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation."
The operation’s title is a nod to Jumpin’ Jack Flash, a song by Trump’s favorite group, the Rolling Stones. Bureaucrats spend a lot of time amusing themselves.
Lawyer Rogan O'Handley (as DC_Draino) tweeted, "President Trump just declassified all Crossfire Hurricane documents.
"This is huge.
"The entire ’Russia, Russia!’ hoax that led to the FBI illegally spying on a sitting President is about to be exposed.
"This is why he removed secret clearances from Hillary and her friends.
"He’s going after them."
President Trump has no choice. Last time, he didn’t and they paid his civility—OK, inability to do so—with 91 indictments, a raid on his home, a mugshot and kangaroo court civil lawsuits to try to break him.
This time, Trump’s ducks are lining up.
His attorney general, Pam Bondi, may disappoint some readers with being slow to prosecutor and lightning fast to a microphone, but criminal cases take time to develop—lies must die a quick death. She earned Trump’s trust just like he’s earned ours.
Kash Patel is the key. We know this because only Pete Hegseth had a tougher time winning confirmation. Give Kash credit because he’s proved his loyalty under fire.
Jonah Goldberg once advised me to never read the comments, so I always try to.
Some Random Guy tweeted in response to DC Draino, "Just a reminder that Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI attorney who pleaded guilty to lying to the FISA court, only got 12 months of probation and 400 hours of community service. Guess who the judge was?"
I checked the tweet out. I got this from Politico:
Clinesmith insisted that he thought the statement was true at the time and only altered the message to save himself the hassle of procuring another email from the CIA. Prosecutors contested that claim, arguing that the FBI lawyer intended to mislead his colleague, but Boasberg sided with the defense on that point.
"My view of the evidence is that Mr. Clinesmith likely believed that what he said about Mr. Page was true," Boasberg said. "By altering the email, he was saving himself some work and taking an inappropriate shortcut."
While Trump and his GOP allies have suggested that Clinesmith was engaged in a political vendetta against Trump, Boasberg noted that a Justice Department inspector general investigation failed to establish that political considerations played a role in Clinesmith’s actions or numerous other errors and omissions that impacted filings with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Well, if Sergeant Schultz saw nothing, nothing happened. Judge Doom Boasberg’s personal rule on evidence holds that it is OK to alter evidence if it saves time.
The story also said, "While prosecutors urged the judge to send Clinesmith to prison to send a message to others in government not to try something similar, Boasberg said he believed that message had already been sent."
Oh the message was sent, which was go do the crime because you won’t do the time. He got community service for his felony and states no longer automatically disbar felons, even if they tampered with evidence.
I mention this to point out just what President Trump faces as he takes on the rich men north of Richmond.
Like Don Corleone, they own the judges and Justice Roberts, who appointed Boasberg as the chief of the secret FISA courts which gave Obama and Hillary 17 warrants to spy on their top political opponent. Who knows how many warrants FISA gave Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... and the FBI to spy on opponents?
Maybe Kash Patel knows now. Maybe the FBI’s industrial-strength shredder does. If the evidence is there, Trump has it.
[RedState] Doubtless you’ll remember the awful shooting at a 2017 Congressional Baseball Game for Charity where 66-year-old James Hodgkinson first confirmed that Republicans were playing, then unleashed over 60 rounds from his SKS 7.62mm rifle. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was severely injured and spent months in recovery, while four other victims were also hit. It could have been much worse without the heroics of Capitol and Alexandria Police, who took out Hodgkinson after a ten-minute shootout.
It was a clear act of political violence perpetrated by a madman who hated Republicans, which is why it wasn’t an even bigger news story. If the shooter had been a white supremacist MAGA lover spraying bullets at Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... , we’d see wall-to-wall coverage every time the month of June and the anniversary of the shooting rolled around.

Like so much of what occurs whenever our federal justice system gets involved, there’s been much secrecy and unanswered questions about what happened. FBI Director Kash Patel is making moves to change that:
BREAKING: I can report that as of 30 minutes ago, the FBI has provided the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence all requested documents related to the Congressional Baseball Game shooting in 2017.
These are documents sought by Capitol Hill officials for almost 8…
— FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash) March 26, 2025 These are documents sought by Capitol Hill officials for almost 8 years. Providing these documents was one of our top priorities in delivering a new FBI era of transparency.
Thank you to the committee and Chairman @RepRickCrawford for your partnership in getting Americans the truth.
Why did it take years? It’s time for a profound culture shift at the DOJ, and Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi are just the folks to bring it, as they're continually proving.
House Intelligence Committee Republicans applauded Patel and the FBI for actually being transparent, something we’re not used to seeing out of these organizations:
— House Intelligence Committee (@HouseIntel) March 26, 2025
There are still many who contend that we don’t know everything about what really happened that day. In 2021, for instance, Scalise and more than a dozen other House Republicans demanded the FBI review its conclusion to classify the event as “suicide by cop” when it should have been investigated as a clear example of “domestic extremism,” considering the assailant was obviously politically motivated. In May 2021, the FBI did in fact update its classification and acknowledged the incident as an act of "domestic terrorism." But why did that happen four years after the fact?
Others feel that information about the motivation, planning and history of the shooter may have been buried.
Maybe there’s new information, maybe there’s not—but the justice system in this country has become far too quick to simply say “that’s classified” about major investigations and then stonewall Congress and the public. Bondi and Patel are showing that it’s time to serve the American people, not treat us as their adversaries.
[FoxNews] Rep. Tony Gonzales: 'The Biden administration’s total failure at the border had disastrous consequences, and it’s shameful that even innocent, unaccompanied children were caught in the crosshairs'
In a new report, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector general found that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is unable to effectively monitor the location and status of each unaccompanied alien child (UAC) who comes into the U.S. illegally and is released from custody.
Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari said in the report that between fiscal years 2019 and 2023, ICE transferred over 448,000 UACs into the custody of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. From there, most of the UACs were released to sponsors.
Why start in 2019? The border was controlled until President Biden was sworn into office in January, 2021.
But over 31,000 of those 448,000 children were released to addresses that were left blank, had missing apartment numbers or were undeliverable.
Definitely a problem.
The IG also noted that ICE did not always know the location of UACs who fled while in HHS custody.
Cuffari said an investigation into the matter found ICE did not issue notices to appear (NTA) to all UACs, which would have generated assignment of immigration court dates by the Department of Justice (DOJ), and as of January this year, it had not served NTAs on over 233,000 unaccompanied children.
Of the UACs who were served NTAs before October 2024, over 43,000 failed to appear for their scheduled court dates.
The report also found that ICE was not always notified about the safety or status of the children unless it received a tip. However, those issues, the IG said, happened because ICE was not always notified about the locations of sponsors by other federal agencies
Cuffari acknowledged staffing to be able to monitor each UAC was limited, and without that ability, there was no assurance the children were safe from trafficking, exploitation, forced labor or criminal activity.
Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Tex., brought up the crisis involving unaccompanied alien minors during a House Homeland Security Committee Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement hearing on March 25.
He was told that during the Biden administration, HHS lost track of many of the minors and that some were subjected to trafficking, child labor and other things.
"The Biden administration’s total failure at the border had disastrous consequences, and it’s shameful that even innocent, unaccompanied children were caught in the crosshairs," Gonzales told FOX News. "The fact that we can’t locate tens of thousands of these minors in the U.S. is completely unacceptable, as it’s likely that many of these children have ended up in dangerous situations. Not having answers is unacceptable, and it’s past time to put our heads together to fix this problem for good."

Lost them and made no effort to find them. An inconvenience at best and a commodity at worst. In the end Mayorkas is accountable for his plan to facilitate the invasion. Joe was incapable of understanding or ordering what was perpetrated.

I think we can find some. Start up those lawyer ads on TV and radio for a class action against Mayorkas for abandonment and exposure to sex trafficking.
It’s just bookkeeping, but more funds to be returned to the U.S. treasury after the accrued, unspent billions Governor DeSantis just gave back to clean up Florida’s books.
[JustTheNews] President Joe Biden's dramatic emergency request to bail out the VA last year was rooted in massive bureaucratic bungling and resulted in Congress appropriating money that was not needed, the agency’s internal watchdog concluded.
The Biden administration faced several self-inflicted accounting problems at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on the eve of the new admin, leading to emergency spending requests, one of which exceeded actual needs and raising the ire of Congress.
The inspector general report published Thursday confirms that a $2.9 billion supplemental request went unused because the agency failed to account for “prior-year recoveries” in its budget planning. Had the agency taken into account those recovered funds, the inspector general found, its projections “would have shown a reduced risk of a shortfall by year-end.”
The emergency funding requests last summer threatened that budget shortfalls would endanger benefits to veterans, specifically in the department that handles educational and financial benefits. To that end, the agency requested a $2.9 billion supplemental budget appropriation to cover the estimated shortfalls to prevent any interruption to benefits.
ULTIMATELY UNNECESSARY
House Republicans passed a supplemental funding bill to meet the agency’s request, but required the then-VA Secretary Denis McDonough to review the agency’s accounting practices to prevent unprojected shortfalls from recurring. The VA later admitted to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs that the $2.9 billion budget request was ultimately unnecessary, drawing sharp criticism from the panel’s chairman, who blamed the Biden administration for “mishandling” the agency’s budget.
The OIG review team found that Veteran’s Benefits Administration wasn’t consistently overspending in FY 2024 for either compensation and pension or readjustment benefits accounts, which were the subject of the budget request. “Realized prior-year recoveries,” which are “unspent deobligated funds,” weren’t included in the agency’s calculations, which contributed to the erroneous predictions.
“Had the realized prior-year recoveries been included in the calculations throughout the year, the monthly funding status reports would have shown a reduced risk of a shortfall by the end of the fiscal year,” the watchdog concluded.
You can read the IG's report below:
The Trump Administration VA Secretary said the emergency budget request was akin to a type of political extortion, putting pressure on Congress as the government approached a shutdown. He also promised that under his leadership the agency would strive to properly manage its budget.
"Look, this was, frankly, came down to more or less a political--I would just almost call it an extortion--toward the end of last year, because it came out between the time of the hearings and the appropriation process, at the end of the year, you know, run up to a shutdown," Secretary Doug Collins told the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show on Thursday.
"It's just a very, a department that is so bureaucratically bogged down that it has trouble doing its main mission, and that is taking care of veterans, and that's why we're actually working very hard to streamline processes, to get better help in place, and to have budgets and numbers that we can be accurate," Collins said.
PREVIOUS TESTIMONY UNDER THE LENS
“Troublingly, it suggests that Under Secretary for Benefits Joshua Jacobs, Under Secretary for Health Shereef Elnahal, and their chief financial officers repeatedly misinformed Congress and our nation's veterans, even risking inciting a panic among veterans about their benefits being delayed or cut,” Bost wrote to then-Secretary McDonough on Nov. 1, 2024. “We question who directed them to do this. Their utter inability to forecast and determine costs accurately erodes Congress' faith in VA.”
The inspector general also questioned the congressional testimony of Under Secretary Jacobs about the projected budget shortfall. The under secretary had told Congress that “any funding shortfall of just $1 would prevent VA from processing its September pay file,” and that the agency would not be able to meet any of its obligations on time.
“However, the OIG found that improved financial management practices would have reduced the risk of a reported shortfall and the need for a supplemental funding request,” the watchdog concluded.
[IsraelTimes] US president says there ‘are others that can do a good job at the United Nations,’ but doesn’t yet name a replacement for vocally pro-Israel candidate
US President Donald Trump ...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party... announced on Thursday that he has pulled his nomination of Elise Stefanik to serve as ambassador in the UN in order for her to remain in the House, where Republicans hold a razor-thin majority.
"With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... . Therefore, Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People," Trump added.
He did not immediately name a replacement for the position.
Republicans won both the House and Senate in the November 2024 election that returned Trump to the White House, but they have a very tight lead in the lower chamber.
They control the House by 218 seats to 213, giving them just a tiny margin and making it difficult to pass key legislation.
Two crucial special elections will be held on April 1 to fill the seats vacated by Mike Waltz, who is now Trump’s national security advisor, and Matt Gaetz, who the president tapped to become attorney general but who backed out of consideration following misconduct allegations.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson praised Stefanik on Thursday.
"It is well known Republicans have a razor-thin House majority, and Elise’s agreement to withdraw her nomination will allow us to keep one of the toughest, most resolute members of our Conference in place to help drive forward President Trump’s America First policies," he said in a social media post.
Stefanik was the last cabinet-level Trump nominee who had not been confirmed. She was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with some Democratic votes, on January 30 and had been expected to be easily approved by the full Senate
Stefanik made headlines in 2023 for her tough questioning of university presidents during a hearing on antisemitism on college campuses. The politician has quickly become a fan-favorite among establishment, pro-Israel groups.
At her confirmation hearing in January, Stefanik vowed to use her role to combat "antisemitic rot" at the UN and said that US tax dollars "should not be complicit in propping up entities that are counter to American interests, antisemitic, or engaging in fraud, corruption or terrorism."
At the annual Anti-Defamation League summit in New York City earlier this month, she drew applause for her calls to further crack down on campus antisemitism, deport foreign students who engage in antisemitism and support of terror, and pressure the United Nations. She also claimed that the October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel "would never have happened" under Trump, drawing boos from the audience.
Trump said in February that the UN has "great potential and... we’ll continue to go along with it, but they got to get their act together." The UN pushed back at the time, saying Secretary-General António Guterres ...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years... had worked tirelessly to implement reforms.
Since returning to office on January 20, Trump has stopped US engagement with the UN Human Rights Council, extended a halt to funding for the Paleostinian relief agency UNRWA and ordered a review of the UN cultural agency UNESCO. He has also announced US plans to quit the Gay Paree climate deal and the World Health Organization.

Hochul and the Dems were delaying the special election for her replacement. I don’t think that they anticipated that Trump would pull her nomination. I expect her to not run for re-election and move to the Ambassadorship in the second two years of this administration.

[FoxNews] Reyes, known for her sharp legal questioning, said earlier this year that she is not inclined to rule in favor of the fired inspectors general
Eight inspectors general abruptly fired by President Donald Trump at the start of his second term appeared in federal court Thursday to challenge their dismissals — a long-shot case that nonetheless sparked fireworks during oral arguments.
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes acknowledged on Thursday that it would be difficult for the court to reinstate the eight ousted inspectors generals, who were part of a broader group of 17 government watchdogs abruptly terminated by Trump in January, just four days into his second White House term.
In a lawsuit last month, the eight inspectors general challenged their firings as both "unlawful and unjustified" and asked to be reinstated — a remedy that Reyes acknowledged Thursday would be exceedingly difficult, even if she were to find that their firings were unconstitutional.
"Unless you convince me otherwise," she told the plaintiffs, "I don’t see how I could reinstate the inspectors general" to their roles.
Reyes suggested that the best the court could do would be to order back pay, even as she told both parties, "I don't think anyone can contest that the removal of these people — the way that they were fired — was a violation of the law."
The preliminary injunction hearing comes more than a month after the eight fired inspectors general filed a lawsuit challenging their termination as unconstitutional. Plaintiffs asked the judge to restore them to their positions, noting in the filing, "President Trump's attempt to eliminate a crucial and longstanding source of impartial, non-partisan oversight of his administration is contrary to the rule of law."
Still, the remedies are considered a long shot — and Trump supporters have argued that the president was well within his executive branch powers to make such personnel decisions under Article II of the Constitution, Supreme Court precedent and updates to federal policy.

Judge admits that the firing was legal. Recommends an attempted shakedown. Will the back pay be to infinity? How can you get back pay without reinstatement? It makes no sense.
