4+ hour, 53+ min ago (320+ words) Republicans in Washington should listen to U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), who is wisely yelling, "Stop!" Lee is following the path of my late boss, U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who was a key leader in the movement that put the 2010 ban in place. Coburn called earmarks the gateway drug to Washington's spending addiction. History proved Coburn right. Getting rid of earmarks was a policy and political bonanza for the GOP. President Trump and Vice President JD Vance would do themselves, the country and their party an enormous service by standing with Sen. Lee and pledging to veto any new spending bill that includes earmarks. When the forgotten man who is struggling with the affordability of everything voted for change in 2024, they did not envision a bipartisan orgy of pork barrel spending. The pending earmarks in the spending bills would make a…...

17+ hour, 35+ min ago (877+ words) The CDC's recent decision to link autism to vaccines disrespects the extensive science showing that vaccines are not connected to autism, writes A.J. Russo. This past month, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. instructed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to change its stance on the cause of autism, suggesting that vaccines may be responsible for the disorder. This not only disrespects the extensive science showing that vaccines are not connected to autism, but it also spreads false explanations that could obstruct crucial research needed to accurately identify the disease's cause. As a scientist and faculty member in the late 1990s, I conducted a 10-year study with researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, developing and characterizing antibodies to help diagnose and combat viruses that infect soybeans. Around the time this project concluded, I became interested in the apparent rise in children diagnosed…...
