The Food and Drug Administration has directed COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers to expand the warning for two forms of inflammation, according to letters made public on May 21.

The FDA told BioNTech, which produces a vaccine with Pfizer, and Moderna to update warnings regarding myocarditis—or heart inflammation—and the related condition pericarditis.

Richard Forshee, acting director of the FDA’s Office of Biostatistics and Pharmacovigilance, said that new information has emerged, including a 2024 FDA study that found some myocarditis patients had signs of heart scarring months after vaccination.

The companies must update labels to state that following administration of the 2023–24 versions, “the highest estimated incidence of myocarditis and/or pericarditis was in males 16 through 25 years of age,” Forshee said. The highest estimated incidence of the post-vaccination inflammation is about 38 cases per million doses for both vaccines, according to the proposed update.

The current warnings say the highest observed risk after Moderna vaccination is in males aged 18 to 24, and after Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination is in males aged 12 to 17.

Most of us are familiar sloths, the bear-like animals that hang from trees, live life in the slow lane, take a month to digest a meal and poop just once a week. Their closest living relatives are anteaters and armadillos, and if that seems like an odd pairing, there’s a reason why. Today, there are only two sloth species, but historically, there were dozens of them, including one with a bottle-nosed snout that ate ants and another that likely resembled the ancestors of modern armadillos.

Most of these extinct sloths also didn’t live in trees, because they were too big. The largest sloths, in the genus Megatherium, were about the size of Asian bull elephants and weighed roughly 8,000 pounds.

“They looked like grizzly bears but five times larger,” said Rachel Narducci, collection manager of vertebrate paleontology at the Florida Museum of Natural History.

Narducci is co-author of a new study published in the journal Science in which scientists analyzed ancient DNA and compared more than 400 fossils from 17 natural history museums to figure out how and why extinct sloths got so big.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has described President Trump as a “monster” for launching a federal investigation against him.

Speaking at a church in Woodlawn, Illinois over the weekend, Johnson said he preferred to hire black people because they are more generous than whites.

This has since led to Department of Justice opening an investigation into Johnson for racial discrimination.

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Johnson said that Trump’s investigation was the result of his own racial animus:

As far as, you know, the president’s animus towards women, people of color, working people, we have always known who he has been. This is not a surprise. He’s a monster.

We have the most diverse administration in the history of Chicago, and he is threatened by that.

You can tell when someone is fearful is because they act out. We have a president that is screaming and having tantrums right now because we have an administration that reflects the city of Chicago, but he would much rather have administrations that reflect the country club. Period.

He is most comfortable around people who think and look like him.

Despite admitting that white people were having their land taken by the South African government as racial retribution, the leftist extremists of ABC’s The View opened Thursday’s show by arguing that not enough white people had been killed fast enough for it to be considered a “genocide” as President Trump said. According to their ghoulish hate, any suggestion otherwise was “false conspiracy theory.”

“THERE IS NO GENOCIDE!” moderator and racist, Whoopi Goldberg yelled as co-host Sara Haines suggested that over 1,300 targeted killings of white farmers were not enough to care about:

It was false conspiracy theory. The fact that the president was — the president of South Africa was trying to share was that data collected by white farmers themselves, these are the white farmers, has counted 1,363 white farmers murdered since 1990, which is an average of 40 a year. Far less than one percent of total murders. The rest are all black people! So, there’s no genocide going on.

She followed up by admitting that the lands owned by whites was indeed being taken away from them as a form of racial retribution, but it supposedly didn’t happen often and they were supposedly offered money.

“The government will occasionally come to remedy some of the problems with apartheid that happened for 50 years in that country, they will come and with compensation,” she argued. “They will take the land occasionally back. So, what he did was took two little seeds and just like did his own thing with that. He was completely false and wrong!”

The Feds have filed a Criminal Complaint and Supporting Affidavit against Elias Rodriguez for the shooting murder of two Israelis Embassy staffers killed outside an American Jewish Committee event at the Jewish Museum in DC. The Supporting Affidavit provides much more detail than has been reported, including how Rodriguez finished off his victims Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim execution style after they already had been shot and were on the ground trying to crawl away.

Here are the charges:

18 U.S.C. § 1116 – Murder of Foreign Officials
18 U.S.C. § 924(j) – Causing the Death of a Person Through the Use of a Firearm
18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(iii) – Discharge of a Firearm During a Crime of Violence
D.C. Code § 22–2101 – First Degree Murder (two counts)

Here are excerpts from the Supporting Affidavit (emphasis added):

3. This affidavit is intended to show merely that there is sufficient probable cause for the requested complaint, and it does not set forth all of my knowledge about this matter.

6. On May 21, 2025, RODRIGUEZ shot and killed two individuals outside of 575 3rd St., Northwest, Washington, DC, which is site of the Capital Jewish Museum (“the Museum”). The Museum was hosting an event related to Jewish diplomatic and business relations, hosted by the American Jewish Committee, that aimed to “bring together Jewish young professionals and the D.C. diplomatic community.” The event was attended by several members of the United States based Israeli diplomatic mission.

8. Decedent-1, identified as Sarah Milgrim, was employed by the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. The preliminary review of Decedent-1’s remains showed that she suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the body. Decedent-1 was transported from the scene by the District of Columbia’s Fire and Emergency Medical Services (DCFEMS) to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for the District of Columbia (OCME). Decedent-1 was pronounced dead at 9:35 pm by DCFEMS members under the authority of DCFEMS Dr. Vitburg. The results of the autopsy of Decedent-1 are pending.

North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un was left fuming this week when he attended the botched launch of a new 5,000-ton naval destroyer.

The launch, at the northeastern port of Chongjin, was intended to tout the communist nation’s military advancement, but ended in embarrassment for Kim after the ship slid off a ramp and became stuck, state media reported.

The flatcar failed to move alongside the ship, throwing it off balance and crushing parts of the ship’s bottom, North Korean news agency KCNA reported. Its stern slid down the launch slipway, while its bow section failed to leave the ramp.

Harvard University has sued the Trump administration over Donald Trump’s decision to revoke the Ivy League school’s ability to enroll international students.

Reuters reports that in a complaint filed in Boston federal court, Harvard called the revocation a “blatant violation” of the US constitution’s first amendment and other federal laws.

It also said the revocation had an “immediate and devastating effect” on the university and more than 7,000 visa holders.

The administration’s severe escalation in its weeks-long showdown with Harvard would force more than 6,000 international students currently enrolled there to transfer to other universities or lose their legal status, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

It’s unclear what made left-leaning elected officials so emboldened to blatantly disrespect and stalk law enforcement, especially in the performance of their duties, but that is becoming far too common.

Aftyn Behn, a Democratic Tennessee State Representative, posted a video bragging about how she followed ICE troopers in her car to harass them. It’s unclear if she thought the video made her appear morally superior, but I would never recommend interfering with federal enforcement to get clicks.

How many times is she going to say her phone is dead? And have you ever met a more unlikely person? Nevertheless, this speaks volumes as to how entitled and emboldened many leftists have become…

He’s not a conservative or a Trump guy, but Chris Cuomo set the progressive Left aflame last night. Since moving away from CNN, Mr. Cuomo hasn’t always been right, but when the stars align—he’s spot-on. On Wednesday night, Elias Rodriguez shot and killed Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim at a young diplomats event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. They were a couple, too, with an engagement proposal set for next week. Milgrim worked to foster peace between Israelis and Palestinians; the event aimed to find ways to deliver more aid to Gaza.

Rodriguez shouted, “Free Palestine,” as police arrested him. He’s a vicious antisemite. We know who he is, and yet, there’s this reticence from the Left to call what happened in DC what it is, which is an act of terrorism. It was an assassination.

“We know the shooter is a far-left activist caught on camera shouting ‘Free Palestine.’ And as he was arrested, he kept chanting the slogan and said, ‘I did it for Gaza,’ Cuomo said on his show on NewsNation. “So why the F are all these people on the left saying, ‘If true’ and ‘If that’s who he is’ and ‘If he’s not an IDF plant’?”

“Violence does not have to happen, but if it does, then it should,” the account wrote in a post.

The man accused of shooting a couple from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC this week reportedly posted praise for Luigi Mangione and wrote “death to America,” as well as “I voted for Hamas” on social media. He has been charged with first-degree murder in the case.

A criminal complaint states that Elias Rodriguez, 30, has been charged with murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, as well as two counts of first-degree murder.

According to the New York Post, federal authorities are working to connect a social media account reportedly linked to Rodriguez, law enforcement sources told the outlet. Rodriuez, a socialist activist and yelled “Free, free Palestine” as police were taking him into custody, was arrested for the killing of Yaron Lischinsky as well as his girlfriend Sarah Lynn Milgrim. The couple was set to get engaged next week.

We’re back for round two. NBC News’ Yamiche Alcindor got into a lengthy sparring session with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt over the footage President Donald Trump showed in the Oval Office on Wednesday with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa regarding reports of mass killings of white farmers.

There have been reports that this is a genocide, which has been denied by NGOs and even Afrikaners who were in the room as part of the South Africa delegation. What cannot be denied is that white farmers are being attacked and brutally murdered, which Alcindor tried to call unsubstantiated. Leavitt cited the Associated Press to support that killings are occurring, and they are.

OPINION: The Trump administration isn’t unjustly taking away anyone’s Social Security – it’s ensuring people pay their debts

“Social Security Benefits Could Be Slashed to $750 Under Trump’s Student Loan Wage Seizure,” bellows a Forbes headline. Some “beneficiaries will face 15% cuts in June,” warns MassLive.

In reality, the opposite of where mainstream media journalists live, the Trump administration is moving to ensure student loans borrowed are paid for. It follows a five-year reprieve from most federal student loans which the president himself instituted in March 2020. The Trump administration has begun collecting loans that have been in default more than 270 days, since the freeze ended in Oct. 2024.

According to Forbes, Trump “could drastically cut [seniors] Social Security benefits, potentially leaving them with just $750 per month to live on.”

“Social Security beneficiaries who have fallen behind on their student loan payments face up to 15% garnishment of their payments,” MassLive reports.

Democratic strategist James Carville acknowledged Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show” that the Democrats “tried to hide the effects” of then-President Joe Biden’s age.

Carville said, “I didn’t see anything behind the scene. I could tell, I’m 80 years old. I know, unlike most people, I know what the job entails. This is not a job for 80-year-olds. And, by the way, this president is going to be 81 when he finishes this term. So I — yeah, I thought from day one, 80 percent of the people in the United States thought he was too old to run for reelection. I mean, I’m the only one. You can’t be that smart if you have four-fifths of the country. You’re following the masses. But yes, he was too old. And yes, they tried to — they tried to hide the effects of age from people. That’s utterly apparent to any fool.”

He added, “And I was saying this since 2022, alright. I think it was a big mistake for him to say he was running for reelection. And I’ve said it at the time, and I will say it now, and I will say it a thousand times. And I think that Jake, in that book, I mean, it was a good book but to me it was a water is wet book. Like I said, 80 percent of the country. I’ll never forget that in May of 2023, to be exact, I saw a Washington Post/ABC poll, and I went. This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It had never changed. And I did everything I possibly knew to say, ma’am, please don’t do this. This is, this is just a terrible idea.”

You know that Department of Justice official Ed Martin, who is now a pardon attorney and helming a weaponization task force, has named three of the big kahunas in this alleged scheme: Anita Dunn, Bob Bauer, and Ron Klain. Martin said the president can use an autopen, but he must be mentally fit for the contract to have the force of law.

We know Biden was not cogent, with numerous stories about how aides and the media covered up his mental decline. There also might be some funny shadow games regarding his prostate cancer diagnosis. Still, one thing that watchdogs who have been watching this activity agree on is that Martin is on the case and that with a senior Democrat coming forward, he’ll get to the bottom of this (via The Blaze):

Martin revealed on Tuesday that his investigation into the use of the autopen has actually been underway for weeks; that he has reached out to members of the Biden family; that some persons of interest have “lawyered up”; and that a whistleblower has already come forward with some troubling allegations.

“I had a whistleblower in my office 10 day ago — senior, senior Democrat — saying, ‘Look, it was these three people that controlled access, and they were making money off of it,'” Martin told journalist Mark Halperin on the “2WAY Tonight” show. “I don’t know if I believe it yet, but the point is, I think, we have to get to the bottom of it for the American people and to protect the process, and that’s what we’re doing.”

Martin indicated that the whistleblower was involved with the 2020 Biden campaign at the highest levels.

The DOJ’s pardon attorney subsequently threw two more names into the mix — Steve Ricchetti, former counselor to Biden who previously served as chairman of his 2020 presidential campaign, and “obviously Jill [Biden].”

Judge James C. Ho of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has given voice to what many of us have seen developing over the recent past with the present make-up of the Supreme Court — a not-so-subtle dislike of President Trump, to put it mildly, and an inexplicable tendency to bend over backwards to give members of designated terrorist groups such as Tren de Aragua the benefit of every conceivable doubt.

The case of AARP v. Trump dealt with one of the many attempts to secure via forum-shopping that which the far left could never achieve at the ballot box: the hindrance or outright frustration of President Trump’s promise to the American people that he would rid the country of the dangerous and cruelly malignant criminal gangs invited in by the treasonous Biden-Harris-Mayorkas “administration” of lawlessness.  Very briefly stated, AARP, one of the terrorists so favored by the left (not the organization that lobbies for old codgers like me), represented by the ACLU, went to a federal district court on April 17, demanding that the court issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) enjoining the president and his agencies from deporting them under the Alien Enemies Act, which the court denied.  Later that night, at 12:34 A.M., the terrorists went to the court, alleging that they had been told they would be removed “tonight or tomorrow,” and demanded an emergency TRO.

President Donald Trump’s administration has terminated Harvard University’s student visa program.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shut down the program over “pro-terrorist conduct” on the prestigious school’s campus.

In a statement, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the move is a severe consequence of Harvard’s refusal to comply with the Trump administration’s request for the behavioral records of foreign students.

“This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” Noem said.

“It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments.

The House passed President Trump’s domestic policy bill, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, by just one vote in the early morning hours Thursday after an all-night session.

The vote was that close in part because Rep. Andrew Garbarino, a New York Republican who would’ve voted to support it, was asleep at the time, House Speaker Mike Johnson said.

“Andrew Garbarino did not make it in time. He fell asleep in the back. No kidding, I know. I’m going to just strangle him, but then, he’s my dear friend,” Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, said in a press conference.

Garbarino, who represents New York’s 2nd District on Long Island, did not deny being asleep.

“I am proud to have been the leading voice on Long Island during negotiations on this key reconciliation bill. I fought to lift the cap on SALT and ensure hardworking Long Island families see the benefits of this important legislation. I was moments away from the House floor, to vote ‘yes,’ when the vote was closed. While I am frustrated that the vote was closed before I was able to cast my vote, I am proud of the work we accomplished to deliver huge results for Long Island,” Garbarino said in a statement.

LOS ANGELES — An Indigenous tribe from the Brazilian Amazon has sued The New York Times, saying the newspaper’s reporting on the tribe’s first exposure to the internet led to its members being widely portrayed as technology-addled and addicted to pornography.

The Marubo Tribe of the Javari Valley, a sovereign community of about 2,000 people in the rainforest, filed the defamation lawsuit seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages this week in a court in Los Angeles.

It also names TMZ and Yahoo as defendants, alleging that their stories amplified and sensationalized the Times’ reporting and smeared the tribe in the process.

The suit says the Times’ June 2024 story by reporter Jack Nicas on how the group was handling the introduction of satellite service through Elon Musk’s Starlink “portrayed the Marubo people as a community unable to handle basic exposure to the internet, highlighting allegations that their youth had become consumed by pornography.”

“These statements were not only inflammatory but conveyed to the average reader that the Marubo people had descended into moral and social decline as a direct result of internet access,” an amended version of the lawsuit filed Thursday says. “Such portrayals go far beyond cultural commentary; they directly attack the character, morality, and social standing of an entire people, suggesting they lack the discipline or values to function in the modern world.”

Assembly Bill 346 would have allowed adults with a prognosis of six months or less to live to end their lives with a prescription from a doctor or nurse practitioner. The bill also stipulated that the adults must be “mentally capable” to make the decision.

House Republicans delivered on their promise to defund Big Abortion on Thursday by passing the budget reconciliation bill that has consumed Washington’s attention for the past three months.

In the bill, the House GOP removed Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the country. The effort had been supported by dozens of pro-life legislators from around the country.

The move is a monumental win for pro-lifers because Planned Parenthood receives more than one-third of its overall funding from the U.S. government through grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements. That translates to about $2 million per day, which taxpayers are on the hook for. Furthermore, taxpayer funding for the organization has been on an upward trajectory for about the past dozen years, having increased by 50% since 2013.

But the House reconciliation bill halts that trend by ending the flow of Medicaid dollars to Planned Parenthood, except in abortion cases for rape or incest. Planned Parenthood is also a major provider of hormones for so-called transgender transitions in the country, which means defunding it is also combating the organization’s efforts in that regard as well.

We’ve all felt the sting of guilt when fruit and vegetables go bad before we could eat them. Now, researchers from MIT and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) have shown they can extend the shelf life of harvested plants by injecting them with melatonin using biodegradable microneedles.

That’s a big deal because the problem of food waste goes way beyond our salads. More than 30 percent of the world’s food is lost after it’s harvested — enough to feed more than 1 billion people. Refrigeration is the most common way to preserve foods, but it requires energy and infrastructure that many regions of the world can’t afford or lack access to.

The researchers believe their system could offer an alternative or complement to refrigeration. Central to their approach are patches of silk microneedles. The microneedles can get through the tough, waxy skin of plants without causing a stress response, and deliver precise amounts of melatonin into plants’ inner tissues.

The left has destroyed gender specific places under the guise of inclusivity. And while it’s more common to hear about a male pretending to feel some type of way to gain access to the female locker room, it’s still a problem when it’s the other way around.

Three boys were filmed without their consent in the locker room by a female student who claimed to feel some type of way. Rather than the school defending the victims, the school has decided that they must be investigated, as they were not being inclusive enough.

7News has since exclusively obtained the video.

The video was shot by who they say is a biologically female student that uses the boys’ facilities because she identifies as male. That is permitted under the Loudoun County School Board’s Policy 8040.

The boys’ parents insist they did nothing wrong and are demanding to know why their sons are being investigated when the student who shot video in the boy’s locker room, which clearly violates school policy, is not facing the same scrutiny.

The military continues to restore itself as an honored and respected institution under President Donald Trump.

Last Friday, PBS News reported commanders will now be ordered to identify servicemembers who are transgender or have gender dysphoria, then send them for medical evaluation to remove them from service.

On January 27, Trump signed an executive order banning trans servicemembers, which the Supreme Court subsequently allowed.

Friday’s news is putting that ban into effect by ridding the military of men who think they are women or vice versa — otherwise known as the mentally ill.

These servicemembers can come forward voluntarily before June 6, with members of the National Guard and Reserve having until July 7.
