What Happened to American Civics? The article reflects on the decline of civics education in America, using a personal anecdote about the author’s son’s school project on civics. The project covereddemocracy’s history, the Magna Carta, the U.S. Constitution, and citizen responsibilities. However, the author criticizes the current state of civic knowledge and engagement in the U.S., highlighting how recent events like pandemic lockdowns and political maneuvering contradict traditional civics education principles. The narrative critiques the influence of the administrative state and the erosion of democratic norms, drawing parallels to historical examples where propaganda and authoritarianism reshaped citizens’ understanding of their roles. The article calls for a return to Enlightenment ideals of natural rights, limited government, and individual liberty, emphasizing these principles’ importance in maintaining a free and prosperous society. The decline in civics education is seen as a significant factor in the erosion of these fundamental democratic values.

Tina Peters is days away from court appearance where she faces multiple felony charges for just doing her job! As the elected Mesa County Clerk in Colorado, Clerk Peters made a backup of her county’s Dominion Voting System server, only to stumble across evidence of manipulation in a recent local city council election as well as the 2020 general election. Clerk Peters’ discoveries ignited a chain reaction upending her life. For the last three years, Clerk Peters has continued to be inundated with costly lawfare and personal attacks assassinating her character, illegally removing her from office and draining her life savings, simply because of her effort to wake people up to see the dangers of forcesattempting to take over our very liberties.

Hi super Don!
I would get the Can-gest capsules instead of the powder; take the recommended amount and then enjoy a golden milk latte 🙂Nada
Welcome to another insightful episode of “Homeopathic Hits” on The Robert Scott Bell Show.
Today, we’re highlighting Hippozaeninum, a homeopathic remedy derived from the morbid products of glanders disease.
Known for its significant effects in treating glandular swellings and respiratory infections, Hippozaeninum offers a natural approach to managing these conditions.
Let’s explore the therapeutic benefits of this potent remedy.

Stricter mask, vaccine rules could have saved as many as 250K lives, says new study Stricter COVID-19 restrictions could have saved up to 248,000 lives in states that resisted such measures, according toa study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The study found that mask mandates and vaccine requirements were the most effective measures, while closing schools and nursing homes often caused more harm than good. Initially, states adopted similar strategies, but by mid-2020, conservative states began opposing mask mandates. This resistance led to significantly higher death rates in states with lenient restrictions compared to those with stringent measures. For example, Mississippi, with the weakest restrictions, had five times as many deaths per capita as Massachusetts. The study emphasized that mask and vaccine mandates were responsible for most of the lives saved, whereas school closures had minimal impact on reducing death rates but significantly harmed students’ social development and test scores. The researchers highlighted the need for balanced public health responses that consider both benefits and costs.
New initiative launched by WHO to develop mRNA bird flu vaccines The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched an initiative to accelerate the development of mRNA vaccines for bird flu. Led by the Argentinian pharmaceutical company Sinergium Biotech, the project aims to identify vaccine candidates for manufacturers in low- and middle-income countries. Despite the CDC stating that the risk of bird flu to the public is low, the WHO emphasizes the potential for the virus to cause a future pandemic. The initiative is part of the WHO’s mRNA Technology Transfer Program, which seeks to build vaccine production capacity in developing nations. Sinergium Biotech has already developed H5N1 vaccine candidates and plans to share technology and expertise with other manufacturers. This proactive measure is intended to improve global preparedness for future pandemics by increasing access to vaccines and fostering greater research and development in vaccine technologies.
US will pay for flu shots for farmworkers in a bid to prevent bird flu from getting worse The U.S. government will fund flu shots for farmworkers to preventbird flu from evolving into a more dangerous strain. Amid outbreaks on dairy and poultry farms, 13 workers have contracted mild bird flu infections, likely from direct animal contact. Health officials fear simultaneous infections with bird flu and seasonal flu could lead to gene reassortment, potentially making bird flu more transmissible among humans. The CDC will spend $5 million on flu vaccines for livestock workers and another $5 million to promote vaccinations. Seasonal flu shots won’t protect against bird flu but may reduce the risk of coinfections. The CDC is also considering offering the antiviral medication Tamiflu to farmworkers. While bird flu has been spreading among various mammals since 2020, the production of bird flu vaccines for humans is underway but not recommended for farmworkers yet. The initiative aims to mitigate risks and protect public health by reducing the likelihood of viral mutations.
Why Is The House Appropriations Committee Gunning For The CDC? The House Appropriations Committee has proposed significant budget cuts to the CDC, reducing its funding by $1.8 billion, a 22% decrease. This includes eliminating funding for the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control and other federal health promotion programs. The committee’s justification is to focus the CDC on communicable diseases rather than what they term “social engineering.” Critics argue that cutting injury prevention is counterproductive, given the high societal costs of injuries, which amounted to $327 billion in healthcare costs and $69 billion in work losses in 2019. The move is seen as a continuation of previous political battles, such as the 1994 effort by the NRA to defund the CDC’s firearm injury research. The proposed cuts could significantly impact public health, particularly in areas like gun violence research and injury prevention, potentially reversing progress made in these critical areas. The legislation now heads to the full House for consideration, with potential widespread implications for public health and healthcare costs.
Heavy metals, including lead, found in many dark chocolate bars, research shows A study by George Washington University, published in Frontiers inNutrition, found that many dark chocolate products contain excessive levels of heavy metals, including lead and cadmium. Researchers tested over 70 dark chocolate products from various retailers and discovered that 43% exceeded acceptable lead levels, and 35% exceeded cadmium levels based on California’s Proposition 65 standards. While the FDA does not set limits for heavy metals in most foods, it has recommended levels for children. The study suggests limiting dark chocolate consumption to reduce exposure, recommending no more than one ounce per day. The research also found that organic cocoa products were more likely to have higher levels of these metals. Experts noted the challenge in determining how these metals enter the food chain, whether through soil uptake by cacao plants or during the manufacturing process. The findings highlight the need for more stringent regulations and consumer awareness regarding heavy metal contamination in food products.
A multi-year heavy metal analysis of 72 dark chocolate and cocoa products in the USA A comprehensive multi-year study analyzed 72 dark chocolate and cocoa products in the USA for heavy metal contamination. Researchers found significant levels of lead and cadmium in many samples. The study revealed that 43% of the products tested exceeded California’s Proposition 65 limits for lead, while 35% surpassed the limits for cadmium. These heavy metals can enter the chocolate through soil uptake by cacao plants or during the manufacturing process. The findings suggest that even organic products are not exempt from contamination. The study underscores the need for stricter regulatory standards and better industry practices to mitigate heavy metal exposure from chocolate. Consumers are advised to limit their intake of dark chocolate to minimize potential health risks, emphasizing the importance of a varied diet to avoid excessive exposure to any single contaminant. This research highlights the ongoing challenges in ensuring food safety and the need for continued monitoring and regulation.
