TV News LIES

Let me introduce you to Itamar Ben-Gvir, the leader of Israel’s far-right Jewish Power (Otzma Yehudit) party, the minister of national security, and an almost cartoonishly evil man. You’ll have heard his name before: he made international news when he filmed himself taunting bound activists who had been detained trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. But you might not be familiar with many of his recent shocking comments, because they haven’t been widely covered by much of the US media.

Let’s start with an AI-generated video that Ben-Gvir posted on Twitter/X on Sunday and then deleted. It shows portly Palestinian prisoners being loaded on to a conveyor belt and going into a detention camp, then emerging emaciated. The caption is “we promised – we delivered!” which seems to be a reference to the national security minister’s promise to worsen conditions for Palestinian prisoners. An ambitious goal, considering conditions are already hellish: Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has likened the prisons where Palestinians are kept to “torture camps”.

I’m being diplomatic with my summary of this latest video, by the way. I suggest you go watch it yourself to fully take in how awful it is. (It may have been deleted, but it lives on online). If the podcaster Hasan Piker had tweeted something similar, with Israelis as the subject rather than Palestinians, it would be front-page news. US lawmakers, all of whom seem to be obsessed with Piker, would be demanding that the podcaster be punished.

A federal judge late Wednesday temporarily blocked a Trump administration effort to overturn California’s clean car rules through Congress.

Judge Beryl Howell, an appointee of former President Obama, blocked an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) move that would have allowed Congress and President Trump to overturn California rules related to vehicle and lawn equipment emissions.

In years past, the EPA allowed these regulations to move forward by granting waivers that exempted them from the Clean Air Act’s preemption of state laws that are stricter than federal standards.

In June, the agency classified these waivers as “rules,“ an effort to let Congress overturn them using the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows lawmaker to nix recently passed rules with simple majority votes and presidential approval. 

“The central problem for EPA is that the waivers themselves explicitly state that they are not rules, while the CRA limits invocation of this statute only to agency rules of general applicability, which EPA, in its own words, has emphatically stated Clean Air Act waiver orders are not,” Howell wrote in her ruling.

Fox News abruptly announced Thursday that it is parting ways with longtime host Maria Bartiromo after more than a dozen years.

Bartiromo initially brought credibility and flair to Fox Business Network as a financial markets journalist when she arrived in 2014. She became a highly paid mainstay, hosting more than 16 hours a week of programs on the business network and its corporate sibling, Fox News.

She later provided an insider's line to President Trump, fueling ratings but ultimately helping to enmesh Fox News in a spectacular scandal after promoting his lies about the 2020 race.

"We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 1/2 years and wish her all the best on her next chapter," the network said in a brief statement.

Federal prosecutors have brought charges against an officer with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for lying to investigators about a shooting of a Venezuelan man in Minnesota earlier this year.

The criminal case is still under seal but was confirmed by a person not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing investigation.

The charges represent a rare moment of the Justice Department seeking to hold immigration officers accountable for their actions and tactics while conducting arrests.

Christian Castro, the ICE officer, was in north Minneapolis in January as part of a broad immigration crackdown in the state known as Operation Metro Surge. Authorities say he fired his weapon through a closed door and shot Julio Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan immigrant, in the leg.

The Missouri Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the state’s redrawn congressional map cannot be used in this year’s midterm elections, dealing a major blow to Republicans.

The court ruled that a referendum that will determine whether the state can use the map going forward must appear on the November ballot, meaning Missouri’s fall elections will take place under its previohttps://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/missouri-supreme-court-rules-gop-drawn-map-cant-used-november-election-rcna595688us district lines.

The new map was designed to draw one of the two Missouri Democrats in Congress, longtime Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, out of his seat.

The ruling comes after a protracted battle between advocacy group People Not Politicians Missouri, who sought to block the Republican redistricting effort, and the state GOP leaders who defended it.

Cancer is rising at an increasingly alarming pace. Early-onset malignancies are climbing in younger adults, aggressive cancers are appearing in patients with little warning, and U.S. cancer mortality has departed sharply from its pre-pandemic trajectory. Against this backdrop, one of the most important questions in medicine is whether the unprecedented mass deployment of nucleoside-modified mRNA technology could be contributing to cancer initiation, reactivation, or accelerated progression.

We have now fully answered this question in a new paper titled “Potential Oncogenicity of Synthetic mRNA Vaccines: Convergent Mechanistic, Clinical, and Population Evidence for a Concurrent-Hit Model of Accelerated Malignancy” authored by John A. Catanzaro, NMD, PhD; Nicolas Hulscher, MPH (myself); Raphael B. Stricker, MD; Jamie K. Waselenko, MD, FACP, FICT; and Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH.

In the most comprehensive analysis to date examining the link between mRNA “vaccines” and cancer, we brought together mechanistic biology, published clinical cases, large population cohorts, U.S. cancer-incidence data, and national mortality records to evaluate whether these gene products could induce, accelerate, or unmask malignancy.

The findings converge on the same alarming picture: TURBO CANCER IS REAL.

And the implications extend far beyond COVID-19 vaccination, because the same underlying mRNA technology is now being pushed directly into cancer treatment.

Below is a concise breakdown of what we found:

Gloria Steinem, the celebrated author and activist who became the most visible symbol of the U.S. women’s movement and remained a fierce and eloquent advocate for equality for six decades, has died. She was 92.

With her trademark streaked hair parted down the middle and large aviator glasses, Steinem, a co-founder of Ms. Magazine, was a hugely recognizable presence wherever she went. And she went everywhere: Much of her life as an advocate was spent on the road, speaking at college campuses and community centers, at rallies and marches.

“You can’t do it on the phone or on the web,” she told The Associated Press in a 2015 interview. “You have to be there with all five senses. It should be obvious that people can’t empathize with each other unless we’re in the same room.”

Steinem, who had been in declining health, died Wednesday at her home in New York City, according to a post on her social media page. She had recently completed a memoir, to be released this fall.

For decades, my hometown of Qira was a sanctuary of quiet endurance.

One of the smallest villages in the occupied West Bank, nestled in the Salfit governorate and tucked away from covetous eyes, it remained relatively shielded from major land confiscations and aggressive incursions throughout the long years of occupation.

That protective obscurity is ending. In recent weeks, organised groups of armed Israeli settlers have begun making regular, unauthorised "exploratory hikes" through our village, wandering past our homes, inspecting our ancient Roman water pool and descending into the valley to survey local shrines, assigning them Hebrew names and claiming biblical connections.

We need look no further than the village of Tell, near Nablus, to see where this trajectory leads. In July, four Palestinians were killed there after a confrontation sparked by one such armed settler "hike", and rampaging settlers then burned homes in nearby villages.

In the West Bank, "civilian" scouting is the vanguard of lethal violence.
