Researchers at the non-profit org called Pregnancy Justice report that in the last two years authorities have arrested at least 412 women for suffering miscarriages due to bans on abortion.

The same people championing abortion bans and prosecution of American women for miscarriages also claim bombing Iran liberates Iranian women.

Make no mistake: Whether in the USA or Iran, they were never about liberating women—but about controlling them with force and violence.

“We are pleased to see today's ruling in defense of the First Amendment rights of all Americans,” one of the plaintiffs in the DOGE-related lawsuit said. The videos previously went viral when a DOGE member was unable or unwilling to define DEI.

Pfizer just announced that its Lyme disease vaccine reduced the number of tick-borne infections by over 70% in a phase 3 trial.

Warning: GSK pulled a Lyme vaccine in 2002 despite studies showing it posed no serious safety risks.

Any new Lyme vaccine is going to be a huge target for antivaxxers.

Whoa, that escalated quickly. This just got sent out by the press folks at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC says it has decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are henceforth prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the United States.

"Update Follows Determination by Executive Branch Agencies that Consumer-Grade Routers Produced in Foreign Countries Threaten National Security

WASHINGTON, March 23, 2026—Today, the Federal Communications Commission updated its Covered List to include all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries. Routers are the boxes in every home that connect computers, phones, and smart devices to the internet. This followed a determination by a White House-convened Executive Branch interagency body with appropriate national security expertise that such routers “pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or the safety and security of United States persons.”

"The Executive Branch determination noted that foreign-produced routers (1) introduce “a supply chain vulnerability that could disrupt the U.S. economy, critical infrastructure, and national defense” and (2) pose “a severe cybersecurity risk that could be leveraged to immediately and severely disrupt U.S. critical infrastructure and directly harm U.S. persons.”

"This action does not affect any previously-purchased consumer-grade routers. Consumers can continue to use any router they have already lawfully purchased or acquired."

"Producers of consumer-grade routers that receive Conditional Approval from DoW or DHS can continue to receive FCC equipment authorizations. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit applications to [email protected]."

Not sure how many consumer-grade routers will be left for sale if it really is a ban on approvals for any foreign-made consumer routers like they said, and not just a bunch of already restricted Chinese makers like Huawei and ZTE.

Lol. TACO strikes (out) again.

Who negotiates like this:
TRUMP: See, you better give up, you got only 48 hours, see, or you'll be sorry.
IRAN: (Returns fire on nations aiding of abetting attacks on them.)
TRUMP: Ok, you've now got only five days to give up, see, or you'll be even sorrier.
IRAN: (If we don't say a word, he'll negotiate himself into a year. )

Old adage: Never interrupt a man negotiating with himself.

I negotiated union contracts (principal) back in the day, and No One negotiates this way. This isn't the Art of the Deal, it's the Whine of the Tantrum.

"It's none of my business," the woman said, "but..."

The witch did not roll her eyes.

"...I heard you gave the baker's gal fangs, and claws."

"She asked."

"You've made her a monster!"

"Adding doesn't make you a monster. Removing does."

"Removing what?"

"Someone's right to be who they are."
