One anti-vaxxer conspiracy theory holds that thimerosal, an ethylmercury preservative once used in childhood vaccines, caused the dramatic increase in autism diagnoses in the past 20 years. In addition to the fact that the amount of ethylmercury in vaccines is miniscule and rapidly cleared from the body, thimerosal was discontinued in childhood vaccines back in […]

Conspiracy mongering? I do not believe so when one considers the type of person both Republican and Democrat legislators and citizens are dealing with today. By himself Tr__p could not achieve what “he” wants due to Congress. However, Republicans are the vehicle Tr__p is using to gain what he wants. We have already seen how […]

The death knell for creationism was sounded in the 19th century, with the recognition of an ancient earth and Darwin’s Origin of Species showing that all life on earth is related by descent.

A partial of a much longer piece by Bruce Lesley. Health and food policies for low-income people and families will suffer under Tr__p’s take from the poor and give to the rich, the richest 10% of the nation in income. There is always day-old cake or bread to be had if they shop the corporate […]

They make imported goods more expensive and allow domestic producers to jack up their prices by relieving competition. “[Douglas Holtz-Eakin] added that Trump was using the letters to demand attention, but, “In the end, these are letters to other countries about […]

I believe this is kind of interesting. Everyone of the important people are in a tizzy over a Muslim running to be the Mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani (a Muslim) wants to be NYC’s mayor.
