Federal Fraud Task Force Targets Billing Practices Behind Pediatric Gender Treatments

By Mary Margaret Olohan | The Daily Wire Vice President JD Vance’s Fraud Task Force is referring a number of hospitals and clinics to the Justice Department and the HHS Inspector General for possible violations of federal law. Those hospitals have billed millions of dollars in insurance claims for puberty blockers for children, according to a new Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report. Now the Trump administration is investigating. HHS released “Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of ‘Gender Medicine'” on Thursday morning. The report examines insurance coding, financial incentives, and the “provision” of transgender medical procedures for minors, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries....

Who Funds the Experts? Pharma Ties Emerge in Vaccine Schedule Debate

By Ashe Short | Just the News The groups that most Americans treat as neutral medical authorities on what to put in their kids' bloodstreams — the AMA and the AAP — both draw millions in revenue from the companies that manufacture the vaccines they are promoting. Shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order reducing the number of vaccines required for young children, the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a press release claiming Trump’s order puts children’s health at risk. “Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases,” AMA President Willie Underwood, III, said in the statement. “Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by ri...

HHS terminating $750M for Moderna’s mRNA-based bird flu vaccines amid safety concerns

By Alec Schemmel | Fox News The decision follows HHS's removal of COVID vaccines from federal vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant women President Donald Trump's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is terminating awards totaling more than $750 million dollars that were provided to pharmaceutical manufacturer Moderna to help facilitate its production of mRNA-based bird flu vaccines.  During President Joe Biden's final week in office, his administration awarded $590 million to Moderna to help speed up its production of mRNA-based vaccines. The $590 million award followed a separate $176 million award Biden gave to Moderna earlier last year for mRNA vaccine technology. Messenger RNA vaccines are a newer type of vaccine technology, which w...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to remain on Colorado’s ballot after suspending campaign and endorsing Trump

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will remain on Colorado's general election ballot after he suspended his campaign and endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump, Kennedy's campaign told Colorado election officials Tuesday. “We are not withdrawing in Colorado," Kennedy's campaign told the Colorado Secretary of State's Office, according to a spokesman. The message added that Kennedy "has encouraged all of his supporters to vote for him in CO!" The former Democrat appeared Friday alongside Trump in Phoenix, where Kennedy announced he was backing the former president and would withdraw from the ballot in several states where his candidacy could swing the outcome. The Associated Press reported that it was already too late, how...

RFK, Jr., says, Dems are party of ‘censorship and corruption’, before he endorses Trump

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is the son of Bobby Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, this week watched his former political party nominate a President without a single primary vote or without publishing her policy. He had attempted to run in that primary, but claims to have been frozen out by the party. The Democratic National Convention arrived a month after Kennedy watched his former political party -- a party in which both his father, uncle and other Kennedy family members had served -- oust a sitting president of the United States, one they elected. "In an honest system, I believe that I would have won the election," Kennedy said Friday in a press conference. "The kind of system my uncle and father thrived in -- a syste...

RFK Jr. claimed ‘sham’ New York address disqualifying him from Empire State ballot, judge rules

By Michael Dorgan | Fox News Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s longshot bid for president has become even more unlikely after a judge ruled on Monday that his name should not appear on New York’s ballot after he falsely claimed a residence in the state on nominating petitions, despite living in California. New York Justice Christina L. Ryba concluded in a 34-page decision that the rented bedroom Kennedy, 70, claimed as his residence in the state wasn’t a "bona fide and legitimate residence, but merely a ‘sham’ address that he assumed for the purpose of maintaining his voter registration" and furthering his political candidacy. Ryba wrote in the decision that Kennedy’s designation of 84 Croton Lake Road in Westchester County as his place of residence "was a fa...

Libertarians pick Chase Oliver as presidential nominee, rejecting RFK, Jr., and Trump

By BRITTANY GIBSON | Politico The Libertarian Party selected former Georgia Senate candidate Chase Oliver as their presidential nominee on Sunday, spurning appeals for support over the weekend from both Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The selection of Oliver, who has described himself as “armed and gay” and whose third-party candidacy helped force a runoff in the Georgia Senate race in 2022, came a day after Trump suggested he would be the best nominee for the party, drawing a sustained chorus of boos. The former president was deemed ineligible for the nomination by the Libertarian Party chair — Trump wrote on his social media platform that, as the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, he could not have accepted the nomination, anyway — while Kennedy was eliminated in the...

RFK, Jr. kicks off Independent petition drive to get on Colorado ballot at Aurora rally

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told supporters at a rally in Aurora on Sunday that his candidacy can unite a deeply divided country by focusing on what unites Americans. "Do you want a president who's going to make Americans forget that they're Democrats and forget that they're Republicans, and remember that we are all Americans?" Kennedy asked a cheering crowd of more than a thousan people, who packed a converted airplane hangar at Stanley Marketplace. "That's why you're here today. I'm going to do that for this country." The environmental attorney and scion of one of the country's most famous political families said that reelecting either President Joe Biden or former President Trump to another term won't bring the c...
