Statement from the Press Secretary Regarding the Terrorist Attacks in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Yemen

Issued on: February 24, 2018

We condemn in the strongest terms the cowardly terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Yemen, which have claimed dozens of innocent lives. We extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those killed, and wish a speedy recovery to those who were wounded. These attacks only strengthen the resolve of responsible nations to pursue, destroy, and rid the world of terrorists, and we will never waver.

Mona Charen didn’t make any friends after she spoke out against Trump at CPAC. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Kyle Kulinski, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.

“Conservative political analyst with National Review Mona Charen criticized conservatives for defending President Trump amidst numerous sexual harassment allegations at the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend and faced an angry reaction from the audience. She writes in Sunday's New York Times why she is glad she got booed [ https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/25/opinion/im-glad-i-got-booed-at-cpac.html ].

Charen said that as a conservative, she is "disappointed in people from our side, in terms of being hypocrites about sexual harassers and abusers of women who are in our party (who are sitting in the White House), who bragged about their extra-marital affairs, who bragged about mistreating women."

"Because he happens to have an ‘R’ after his name, we look the other way, we don’t complain," he said about the party's support of Roy Moore for Senate "even though he was a credibly accused child molester."

"You cannot claim that you stand for women and put up with that," she said. "Not true! Prove it!" shouted one audience member. "It was a witch hunt!" yelled another.

New York Magazine reports [ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/02/cpac-speaker-needed-security-escort-after-criticizing-trump.html ] that she had to be escorted out with security.

Charen also criticized the invitation of French nationalist Marechal Le Pen as a "disgrace".”

Cure Cancer With Baking Soda!

Oncologists Don’t Like Baking Soda Cancer Treatment Because It’s Too Effective and Too Cheap

Published on May 3, 2017
Baking soda is used for many things, but did you know it could be used to treat cancer? How astonishing is that!
Even the most aggressive cancers which have metastasized have been reversed with baking soda cancer treatments. So, why aren’t more doctors using these treatments?
They tell us chemotherapy saves lives, boosts long-term survival rates and does not damage healthy cells. All these statements by the cancer industry are false. Poison kills indiscriminately always has and always will. While damaging healthy cells, chemotherapy also triggers them to secrete a protein that sustains tumor growth and resistance to further treatment. That’s right chemotherapy will actually boost cancer growth.

Current & Former NRA Members Talk About What To Do About Mass Shootings (HBO)

Published on Feb 24, 2018 by VICE News [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZaT_X_mc0BI-djXOlfhqWQ / https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews , https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews/videos ]

Republican pollster Frank Luntz gathered a focus group of current and former NRA members in his California home to discuss the organization, gun regulations and what the country needs to do to keep students safe in their schools.

After the Parkland shooting in Florida which left 17 dead, there has been renewed scrutiny over gun laws in the United States, with many pushing for stricter control.

"These gun regulations are bogus," said one N.R.A member. “The problem is it's a cultural problem. How does that get solved? Values have to be reinstilled."

“I'm saying that there's certain guns that we shouldn't have,” another panelist said, adding that mental evaluations were essential.

Almost all panelists agreed on expanding background checks, while one maintained that those are no guarantee against a possible future attack. “You don’t know if somebody is mentally unstable until they do something,” he said.

Parenting In The Age Of #MeToo

Published on Feb 24, 2018 by VICE News

It’s been 133 days since Harvey Weinstein was outed as a serial abuser and harasser of women. Nearly every day since that story broke, more men in more professions have been accused of, admitted to, or denied shocking acts of aggression, exploitation, harassment, and prejudice toward women in the workplace.

No company is immune — including VICE. It has affected our workplace too.

Here and everywhere, people are doing what they always do to make sense of things: talking. To capture the kinds of conversations happening in America’s workplaces, we gathered lawyers, actors, technologists, construction workers, and hospitality workers, and asked them about the new reality of #MeToo: Women, Men, and Work.

The #MeToo movement has these moms scared. As the parents of college athletes, they are cheerleaders for their son's ambitions, but also their closest mentors in how to be responsible young men in the #metoo era. How do they reconcile a movement that's finally giving a voice to female trauma with the instinct to protect their sons?

VICE News Tonight sat down with mothers of college athletes, powerful and seemingly untouchable figures on their respective campuses, to find out how the #MeToo movement has impacted their parenting approach.

What are the uncomfortable conversations they are having? How are they teaching their boys the meaning of consent? How far are they going to make sure their boys don’t fall in the #MeToo spotlight?

Hubble: Universe Is Expanding Faster Than It Should—and We Need a New Physics to Explain It
http://www.newsweek.com/universe-expansion-hubble-space-telescope-817511

Improved Hubble Yardstick Gives Fresh Evidence for New Physics in the Universe
Astronomers have used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to make the most precise measurements of the expansion rate of the universe since it was first calculated nearly a century ago. Intriguingly, the results are forcing astronomers to consider that they may be seeing evidence of something unexpected at work in the universe.
That's because the latest Hubble finding confirms a nagging discrepancy showing the universe to be expanding faster now than was expected from its trajectory seen shortly after the big bang. Researchers suggest that there may be new physics to explain the inconsistency.
"The community is really grappling with understanding the meaning of this discrepancy," said lead researcher and Nobel Laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and Johns Hopkins University, both in Baltimore, Maryland.
