“Unprecedented”: Now-Fired CBS Reporter Who Investigated Biden Laptop Story Has Personal Files Seized By Network

(Worthy Insights) – Just when you thought the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up had ended…

A bombshell report from the NY Post dropped this week, stating that reporter Catherine Herridge of CBS had “her personal files seized by the network” in what is being called an “unprecedented” move. Herridge was investigating the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to her firing.

Last week she was one of about 20 staffers fired from CBS as part of cuts at parent company Paramount, according to the NY Post. [ Source (Read More…) ]

CBS faces uproar after seizing investigative journalist’s files

“Anyone who isn’t confused really doesn’t understand the situation.” Those words, from CBS icon Edward R. Murrow, came to mind this week after I spoke with journalists at the network.

There is trouble brewing at Black Rock, the headquarters of CBS, after the firing of Catherine Herridge, an acclaimed investigative reporter. Many of us were shocked after Herridge was included in layoffs this month, but those concerns have increased after CBS officials took the unusual step of seizing her files, computers and records, including information on privileged sources.

The position of CBS has alarmed many, including the union, as an attack on free press principles by one of the nation’s most esteemed press organizations. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Tony Bobulinski testifies Joe Biden participated in family’s Chinese business deal

(Worthy Insights) – One of Hunter Biden‘s former business partners told Congress in a closed-door interview this week that he witnessed firsthand how President Joe Biden was involved with his family members’ business dealings with a Chinese energy conglomerate and discussed how Joe Biden met with associates to further the dealings.

Tony Bobulinski said, according to a transcript released by House Republicans on Friday, that he himself met with Joe Biden “multiple times” in 2017 and that Hunter Biden had introduced them in the context of Bobulinski’s work with the energy company.

That company, CEFC, was tightly interwoven with the Chinese government, and Bobulinski said he remembered asking Joe Biden’s brother James, who was also involved in their venture, how the family was getting away with using Joe Biden’s political prominence and influence to secure work with CEFC.

Fauci’s former boss says COVID lab leak theory was not a conspiracy after calling it ‘distraction’

(Worthy Insights) – Dr. Francis Collins, the former National Institutes of Health director, told a congressional subcommittee on Friday that the coronavirus-lab Wuhan leak theory was not a conspiracy after calling it a “distraction” in 2021.

“Dr. Collins agreed with Dr. Fauci’s concession that the COVID-19 lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy,” Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus Pandemic, wrote following Collins’ closed-door testimony on Friday.

“Dr. Collins minced words over the definition of gain-of-function research in an effort to hide the NIH’s involvement in funding the dangerous research in Wuhan. This wordplay mimics Dr. Fauci’s profuse defense of his previous Congressional testimony where he claimed the NIH did not fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan,” Wenstrup also wrote.

‘Experts’ Say New COVID Strain Will Cause Global “Heart Failure Pandemic”

(Worthy Insights) – A new strain known as JN.1 will cause many people to suffer from “reduced cardiac function,” according to the report.

“Japan’s top research institute Riken has now issued a warning in the new report, which states that the ACE2 receptors, which the coronavirus clings to within human cells, are ‘very common’ in the heart,” reports GB News.

“Even though conclusive clinical evidence that persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with declined cardiac function has not been reported so far, the proof-of-concept study of the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 persistent infection of the heart and the potential risk of opportunistic progression of heart failure should be validated by a three-dimensional human cardiac tissue model which would serve as the alarm bell for a global healthcare risk,” states the report.

Uncovering Christian missionary efforts: What’s the price of support during war?

(Worthy Insights) – Israelis have been traumatized by the tragic events of Oct. 7. Many organizations abroad, mainly Christian and Jewish, have been donating massively to causes supporting the war effort and traveling to Israel on missions to offer consolation and tangible aid to a grieving nation.

Faith-based supporters of Israel have made significant contributions to the Jewish state, both politically and economically, and those who come with no hidden agenda are greatly appreciated. Others apparently aim to spread the gospel among Jews and are taking advantage of their vulnerability during this distressing time.

With the surge in global antisemitism and hostility toward the Jewish state over the last three months, political and emotional support for Israel from faith-based groups is comforting. Their significant monetary donations and volunteering on farms and IDF bases in the country are invaluable. So, the dilemma for many is: Do we ignore the danger posed by those among them who successfully influence Jews to become Christians? [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]

Ukraine May Have to Accept a Cease-Fire

(Worthy Insights) – The word “crisis” is overused, but it accurately describes what Ukraine faces as 2024 begins.

According to a recent report in the Washington Post, troops on the front line are running out of ammunition. Artillery shells are being rationed, forcing the Ukrainians to cancel planned assaults and making it hard to hold defensive positions against Russian attacks. A press officer for a Ukrainian battalion recently said that ammunition shortages had forced his unit to reduce its rate of firing by 90% since the summer. “We lack everything,” a member of another unit said. Although his comrades are highly motivated, he added, “You can’t win a war only on motivation.” He doubted they could hold their position much longer.

As Ukraine struggles, its allies dither. Congress went home for the holiday without resolving the legislative impasse over continuing U.S. aid for Ukraine. Hungary’s pro-Russian leader vetoed the European Union’s proposed $52 billion assistance package. If these logjams aren’t broken soon, Ukraine’s ability to sustain the war, its economy, and the basic functions of its government will be jeopardized.

Mike Johnson is a good father. The Left hates him for it

(Worthy Insights) – Corporate media journalists are still out for new House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) blood. Last week’s contrived controversy is that Johnson took his teenage daughter to a “purity ball” in 2015.

ABC News claims to have “unearthed” a German TV news segment featuring Johnson, his wife Kelly, and his daughter Hannah, who was 13 at the time. According to ABC, the video showed “Johnson and his daughter at the ball with numerous other father-daughter pairs and shows Johnson’s daughter vowing to him to live a life of purity, as well as her signing a pledge.”

As part of the pledge, Hannah made her “commitment to God, myself, my family, my friends, my future husband, and my future children … to a lifetime of purity, including sexual purity.” That is a beautiful commitment, though one might wonder why ABC finds it newsworthy. As they come of age, young girls should be thinking about the future effects of their decisions for themselves and others. Such guidance could spare many women the heartbreaks and despair caused by hookup culture. [ Source: ABC News (Read More…) ]

This is bigger than COVID: Why are so many Americans dying early?

(Worthy Insights) – Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf recently took to X to mourn the “catastrophic” decline in U.S. life expectancy.

But his post, which hit on smoking, diet, chronic illness and health care, ignored the obvious: People are dying in abnormally high numbers even now and long since COVID waned. Yet public health agencies and medical societies are silent.

Life insurers have been consistently sounding the alarm over these unexpected or, “excess,” deaths, which claimed 158,000 more Americans in the first nine months of 2023 than in the same period in 2019. That exceeds America’s combined losses from every war since Vietnam. Congress should urgently work with insurance experts to investigate this troubling trend. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Cosmopolitan defends abortion as satanic ‘religious ritual,’ calls satanism a ‘nontheistic faith’

(Worthy Insights) – One of the world’s most widely read women’s magazines says satanism is a “religion” that practices the “religious ritual” of abortion.

Cosmopolitan, which boasts a print and digital audience of over 50 million readers, published a piece in its November/December issue about The Satanic Temple (TST) and its New Mexico-based telehealth abortion clinic that provides “abortion medication via mail to those in New Mexico who wish to perform The Satanic Temple’s Religious Abortion Ritual.”

Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic — yes, that is the official name of the clinic — is an apparent reference to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, who delivered the ruling in June 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade and provides abortion pills through the 11th week of pregnancy. [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]

The Federal Government Paid Media Outlets to Promote the Covid Vaccine

(Worthy Insights) – The mainstream media’s nearly monolithic coverage of mRNA vaccines and other Covid measures can be at least partially explained by a clear financial interest. Recently, independent journalist Breanna Morello — who left Fox News because of draconian vaccine mandates in New York City — alerted me to a FOIA request filed by the conservative media company TheBlaze, which found a number of major media outlets were paid to promote the Covid vaccine.

Such venues included the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, NBC, CNN, Fox News, and several others. TheBlaze’s report received little coverage — even in conservative media (perhaps because some of those outlets were also paid by HHS) ideologically predisposed to criticize government-fuelled narratives on the pandemic.
