Insane anti-vaxxer RFK drops out. The next day, you start going for the anti-vax vote? Honestly, as long as it keeps them from voting Trump, I don't care. Good luck and Godspeed winning over the pro-COVID nutters.

Join the Trump campaign with RFK Jr. Bring @DrJillStein too. We must put our differences aside and unite to defeat the Democrats before they destroy our beautiful country and drag us into WW3.

Would you like to add your name to list of politicians calling for the Covid shots to be pulled off the market and pledging not to take donations from BigPharma?

I agree with this position but kindly Dr. West, You’re late with this message. You dismissed Jimmy Dore when he begged you to change your tune and you mocked him.

I wonder what the betting odds are that West and/or Stein join the MAGA Unity team in exchange for cabinet positions? They do share common enemies out in the corporate world...

This inquiry was initiated to address one of the most pressing issues of our time: the federal and state governments’ responses to COVID-19. The challenges we faced over the past few years highlighted severe shortcomings in our governments’ responses to COVID and weaknesses in our democracy. To ensure justice, accountability and financial compensation, it is imperative that a comprehensive Judicial Inquiry into the government’s handling of COVID-19 is called. This could take the form of a Senate Commission of Inquiry or a Royal Commission. Investigations that must be robust, independent and based on data and facts, with the power to subpoena witnesses and documentation. The handling of COVID affected us all in profound ways. To fully understand the scope of these effects and to prevent this happening again in the future, we need to establish an accurate and detailed timeline of events and associated facts. Placing the most up-to-date information on the record will uncover the truth behind the decisions made and their consequences. These are essential for restoring accountability and trust in governments, and health services and departments. We must make this issue a federal election matter, with the goal being to awaken the public with clear, understandable facts. The public needs to become aware of the magnitude of the problems we faced. The mishandling of this crisis is not a matter of minor errors. It involved significant failures that demand accountability and serious repercussions. That is the only way to restore trust in our medical systems and in our government systems and processes. This issue is far from over. We owe it to ourselves and to future generations—especially our children and grandchildren—to address these failings directly, clearly and bluntly. We must hold those responsible accountable and ensure that such lapses are never repeated.

Today I met with the Chairman Senate Committee on Health, Senator Ipilabo, in her capacity as our oversight Senator. I shared with her my visions and we both agreed that we must work hard to ensure our Public Health Services is Good, Safe and Inviting. And that we must provoke confidence in our citizens to make use of our public health institutions. She commended the vision and plans I shared with her and expressed her hope in our leadership. “I am happy about all the plans you have and wish you the great success. I beleive you will be one of the best performing chairman in the country”. “With the kind of ideas you have started of now, maintain the momentum, and you will leave behind a great legacy”.

The safety of our people and the future of our society depend not only on infrastructure, but also on strong institutions, innovation, and knowledge. The commissioning of the Centre for DNA Forensics and Criminal Investigation, the first of its kind in Africa, is a major step in that direction. This facility will strengthen criminal investigations, support scientific research, train future experts, and enhance our ability to use modern forensic science to keep our communities safer. It is an investment in justice, security, and the kind of future we are building for generations to come. 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

[WATCH] The working class of South Africa must have no doubt about the ANC’s commitment to the realization of their dreams and aspirations. The ANC is on the ground, the ANC is listening, and the ANC is working. We ask once more, for your unflinching support so that on 4 November we may advance the task to fix local government and transform the economy together. We need your critical insights, your grassroots mobilization, and your unwavering solidarity to ensure that the ANC remains true to its mandate and its mission. We must forge a renewed Alliance, built on mutual respect, shared values, and a common vision for a better future. We must strengthen our organizational capacity, deepen our ideological clarity, and enhance our ability to mobilize the masses of our people. We must stand together, in the face of adversity, and work tirelessly to build a society where justice, equality, and prosperity prevail. Let us renew our commitment to the struggle, and let us march forward, united in our purpose, towards the realization of our shared dream. We wish you well in your deliberations and trust that robust engagements will deliver outcomes that continue to place the country and the Alliance on a steady trajectory in advancing the national democratic revolution.

"To our brothers and sisters in #Somalia, we speak with respect and sincerity. #Somaliland's path to statehood was born from historical grievances and the failure of the union, not from hostility. We don't seek confrontation; we urge understanding."

Maryland is LEADING the nation in progress on public safety — and we’re doing so in partnership with our communities. I just announced that the State of Maryland and the City of Baltimore will be restoring their public safety partnership. The last administration broke this partnership and turned its back on Baltimore, and people suffered. We are moving differently. We aren’t deploying citizen soldiers to patrol our streets. We aren’t papering over housing insecurity by sending in the National Guard. We are bringing people together.

The #COP30 Leaders’ Summit delivered a resounding call – that we must take collective, urgent and scaled up action to protect our global community from the threats that #ClimateChange pose to people’s lives and health. I thank @Cop30noBrasil and President Lula for partnering with World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure the protection and promotion of public health is at the heart of the climate agenda. This critical summit has provided the direction needed for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Belèm to take bolder steps and increase investments so we can turn the tide on the climate crisis and build resilient communities able to withstand the shocks linked to warming of our planet.

Today, I had the honour of meeting with 268 former MMDCEs at my private office in Accra. We had a frank and forward-looking conversation about the future of our party and our beloved country. I emphasized the urgent need to rebuild our party on the foundation of unity, fairness, and respect for grassroots leadership. I also reaffirmed my decision to contest in the upcoming primaries and shared my deep concern about the unfair treatment all MMDCEs faced under the previous administration. Excessive centralization in Accra undermined local governance, stripped MMDCEs of real power, and stalled development in our communities. I assured them, under my leadership, that will change. It’s time to restore dignity to public service and give real power back to the people on the ground. Together, we will rebuild and rise.

Foreign interference impacts us all. As Canadians we must stay united in protecting our communities, and continue building a community that's the envy of the world. To our Sikh residents, and all Bramptonians, we are here to protect your rights and safety here. Our City Council unanimously passed a motion to send a letter of support to the Prime Minister and Federal Government, in regard to respecting the sovereignty of Canada and its citizens, and encourage the Federal Government to work diligently to bring to justice those responsible for the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar; and that correspondence be sent to Peel Regional Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Public Safety Minister, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), and Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to ensure the safety of all Canadians in places of worship.

A Must Watch Opening Statement from President Trump’s FDA nominee Dr. Marty Makary. “We now have a generational opportunity in American health care.” “President Trump and Secretary Kennedy's focus on healthy foods has galvanized a grassroots movement in America.” “Childhood Obesity is not a willpower problem, and the rise of early onset Alzheimer's is not a genetic cause. We should be and we will be addressing food as it impacts our health.” “Thanks to the courage of President Trump and Secretary Kennedy, we now have a generational opportunity opportunity to usher in radical transparency to facilitate more cures, meaningful treatments, and diagnostics at the FDA to help people take care of their own health.” “If confirmed, I hope to ensure the FDA holds to the gold standard of trusted science, transparency, and common sense to rebuild public trust and Make America Healthy Again.”
