“Lung cancer is the biggest cause of cancer deaths in this country,” Bharat said. “It kills more people than breast, colon and prostate put together.”

“A majority of the lung cancer patients in this country would not meet the screening criteria as it exists currently,”

• Jessie Creel’s cough started in May last year.
• At the time, a primary care physician diagnosed the mother of three with pneumonia. But the antibiotics didn’t work and her cough persisted. During a camping trip in the summer, she coughed up blood. She kept losing weight. She wasn’t able to sleep.
• Six months later, Creel, then 42, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. She was active, a runner and a swimmer, didn’t drink, and had never even held a cigarette...

Under current recommendations, people are eligible for screening if they are 50 to 80 years old and have a history of heavy smoking, either actively or in the past 15 years...

Inside The Now-Shuttered Agency Where Employees Lived ‘Like Reigning Kings’

READ IT AGAIN: Employees of DOGE's latest target spent taxpayer money on exotic vacations, portraits, and more. - Luke Rosiak

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) occupied a nine-story office tower on D.C.’s K Street for only 60 employees, many of whom actually worked from home, prior to the pandemic. 

• Its managers had luxury suites with full bathrooms; one manager would often be “in the shower” when she was needed, while another used her bathroom as a cigarette lounge. 
• FMCS recorded its director as being on a years-long business trip to D.C. so he could have all of his meals and living expenses covered by taxpayers, simply for showing up to the office.

FMCS is a 230-employee agency that exists to serve as a voluntary mediator between unions and businesses. 

As an “independent agency,” its director nominally reports to the president, but the agency is so small that in effect, there is no oversight at all — and it showed, becoming a real-life caricature of all the excesses that the Department of Government Efficiency has alleged take place in government...

'This chick is f*ing insane': Watch Democrat running for Congress refuse to denounce her calls to burn down police stations * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs: 

A Democrat state representative in Tennessee running for U.S. Congress is refusing to denounce her previous calls to defund the police and even burn down police stations. Aftyn Behn was interviewed on MS NOW, formerly MSNBC, by anchor Catherine Rampell, who confronted Behn with her previous anti-police messages, including one tweet from 2020 in which Behn stated: "Good morning, especially to the 54% of Americans that believe burning down a police station is justified."

'This wasn't an accident': School promotes porn as 'art,' gets busted * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'This wasn't an accident': School promotes porn as 'art,' gets busted * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

There, students in seventh grade were ordered to see pornography "under the guise of an 'art lesson.'" "This wasn't an accident. Students viewed this explicit material repeatedly over the course of approximately two weeks, for a graded assignment. No parental notice. No opt-out option. No filtering of graphic content. No alternative assignment," the legal team explained. "One of the students involved is a survivor of sexual assault. This assignment triggered traumatic memories, and this student is now in counseling as a direct result of the school's actions."

Mark Kelly is simply one of many senior, retired officers encouraging the military to mutiny.

Your tax dollars at "work"!-----University of Minnesota website calls 'whiteness' a pandemic, offers guides for 'antiracist parenting' | Fox News

A website belonging to the "Culture and Family Lab" at Minnesota’s flagship university hosts a webpage warning against a "whiteness pandemic" that provides "resources" on how to "halt and reverse" the issue. -  Andrew Mark Miller Fox News

• "If you were born or raised in the United States, you have grown up in the Whiteness Pandemic, and you can play a role in halting and reversing this pandemic, especially if you are White because of the power and privilege you hold in this racialized society," explains the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities webpage, which is part of the Institute of Child Development.
• "If you were socialized into the culture of Whiteness during childhood, it is not your fault, but as an adult it is now your responsibility to self-reflect, re-educate yourself, and act. If you are a White adult, antiracist action involves an ongoing process of self-reflection in order to develop a healthy positive White identity while engaging in courageous antiracist parenting/caregiving."...

DOJ Staffer in Texas Arrested on Terrorism Charges After Doxxing Federal Agent During Raid

DOJ Staffer in Texas Arrested on Terrorism Charges After Doxxing Federal Agent During Raid: 

A U.S. Department of Justice employee has been hit with state terrorism charges after allegedly doxxing a federal agent during a border raid.

I’ve long thought that it makes sense just to, “keep them off the streets,” as people like to say, but if you look at recent attendance numbers it’s clear that they’re not going to school, anyway.

So I really just don’t know what we’re doing anymore. - wanye@xwanyex

The only reason that 30th percentile students go to high school is because we feel bad flunking them out. There is absolutely no societal advantage in teaching a 10th grader who reads at a 5th grade level how to read at a 6th grade level.

State Department Investigates Mass Migration as Potential Human Rights Violation

State Department Investigates Mass Migration as Potential Human Rights Violation: 

Denouncing mass migration as “an existential threat to Western civilization,” the State Department on Friday said it will be blowing the whistle on nations that make catering to migrants more important than the welfare of their own citizens.

The State Department will look into diversity, equity, and inclusion policies of other nations as possible human rights violations, according to the BBC. Nations that fund abortions or assist in mass migration could find themselves labeled as violators of human rights.
