Most Americans don’t realize this, but their health has been at risk for years. Divisive and discriminatory ideology has crept into health education, under the guise of so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” This politicized worldview has become foundational not only at medical schools, but also at the nursing schools that train my profession. The sudden turn toward indoctrination means that future nurses are spending less time actually studying the essentials of nursing and patient care. The good news is that this disease is finally being contained and treated. In April, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing quietly abandoned its…
In one of the scariest moments in modern history, we’re doing our best at ScheerPost to pierce the fog of lies that conceal it but we need some help to pay our writers and staff. Please consider a tax-deductible donation. Gregory Shupak for FAIR In the wake of the temporary US/Iran ceasefire, hawkish commentary in leading American newspapers advanced the premise that the US can dictate terms to Iran in negotiations, with a faith in the power of Washington’s military might that was hard to justify by the previous course of the war. A Washington Post editorial (4/8/26) contended: Despite the…
The U.S. weighed options to address the possibility of a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz as the Iran War ceasefire entered its 22nd day Wednesday. NBC reported Wednesday, citing an anonymous U.S. official, that the White House discussed options during Monday’s meeting in the Situation Room. Deliberations included whether the U.S. military presence in the strait should increase or decrease, and whether the U.S. should launch renewed operations there. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday morning that Iran “can’t get their act together,” adding that “they better get smart soon!” Trump reportedly met with oil executives…

Photograph Source: Dan Scavino – Public Domain In the wake of Cole Tomas Allen’s alleged attempt to assassinate US President Donald Trump and/or other political officials, journalists, and general-purpose celebrities come the usual calls for “gun control” because that’s just how things work. My preferred argument against such nonsense leans hard on morality (it’s evil to infringe on the unalienable human right to self-defense) with a chaser of overall practicality (more than 100 million Americans own several hundred million guns and…

The day before state lawmakers met for a special session on redistricting, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis revealed his proposed state congressional map, which could set up Republicans to flip as many as four Democratic-held seats. DeSantis shared the map April 27 with Fox News before sending it to the state Legislature. He said the new map — which would ordinarily be drawn every 10 years after the census — would more fairly represent Florida’s electorate. “Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 census, and we’ve been fighting for fair representation ever since,” DeSantis told Fox News, referring to a census…
The Justice Department on Tuesday announced charges against a former top adviser to Anthony S. Fauci who officials say skirted public records laws and hid his communications to thwart inquiries into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Read Full Article ⟶ Source link
Dr Mojtaba Touiserkani Middle East Monitor The strangest feature of the Iran war is not that both sides have leverage. It is that neither side can fully use the leverage it has. That is the defining reality of the conflict as it moves through its uneasy post-ceasefire phase. Washington has the naval power to sustain pressure on Iran’s ports and shipping. Tehran has the geography to keep the Strait of Hormuz from returning to normal. Both instruments are real. Both hurt. Yet neither can be pushed to its logical end without creating costs that escape the control of the…
International Man: Iran is already turning the Strait of Hormuz into a geopolitical toll booth—restricting traffic, charging transit fees, and shutting out the US and its allies. If this continues, what happens to oil, trade, and the global economy, and is there anything the US military can do about it? Doug Casey: I did a bit of research. Definitions are important; poorly defined words can only confuse issues. A “strait” is a narrow, naturally occurring body of water that joins two larger ones. They’re traditionally considered international waters. Hormuz is the best known at the moment. The Strait of Malacca between Indonesia…
