South Africa’s President, During a Visit to the Oval Office, Gets Wake Up Call From Trump

2 weeks ago | nysun.com | Rebecca Sugar

South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, clearly doesn’t follow the news. He visited the Oval Office this past Wednesday just a few months after Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, received his public dressing down in front of the media. Yet the African leader was seemingly unaware that President Trump doesn’t believe in putting on a polite show for the cameras.

The Canadian Liberal Party leader, Mark Carney, won his country’s general election this past week.

News about the Journal of Independent Medicine’s launch in February may have bypassed social media feeds, but it should be of interest to the growing number of those who are, in a post-Covid world, more skeptical of the scientific and medical communities and seeking new voices.

In response to reporting that the federal government had canceled $175 million in funding for the University of Pennsylvania because of the school‚Äôs policies allowing biological males to participate in women‚Äôs sports, officials at my alma mater issued a statement that made me wish the Trump administration had doubled that figure. ‚ÄúPenn has always followed NCAA and Ivy League policies regarding student participation on athletic teams.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s MAHA overhaul of everything from food safety practices to vaccine protocols at the Department of Health and Human Services promises to transform health outcomes for the entire country.

Invited to speak at the annual Munich Security Conference last Friday, Vice President Vance didn’t feel much Valentine’s Day love from the audience as he issued an invitation of his own: “Just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that.” Applause from the crowd sounded like it was coming only from Mr. Vance’s wife, Usha, and the CEO of...

Congressional “advice and consent” as outlined in Article 2 of the Constitution began this week as hearings started for President-elect Trump’s nominees for several key Cabinet positions. What became clear almost from the beginning of the first hearing is that while consent of Congress is still a critical check on executive branch power, the advice of our elected officials about who should fill important government positions is of considerably less value.
