RFK Jr.’s Wearables Agenda: Empowerment or Surveillance?

2 days ago | thenewamerican.com | Veronika Kyrylenko

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that his department would promote the widespread adoption of biometric wearable devices as “a key part of our mission to Make America Healthy Again.”Speaking Tuesday before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health, Kennedy strongly endorsed personal health wearables, such as glucose monitors and heart-rate sensors. Wearables put the power of health back in the hands of the American people.
The “New FDA”: Faster, Smarter, Friendlier to Pharma

3 days ago | thenewamerican.com | Veronika Kyrylenko

When Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. took over the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), he pledged to “Make America Healthy Again.” The slogan became a central theme of his public-health vision during the 2024 campaign, when he endorsed Donald Trump and positioned himself as a reformer critical of pharmaceutical overreach.
No Hyphens in Heaven, and None in a Republic Worth Preserving

4 days ago | thenewamerican.com | Joe Wolverton

The phrase “hyphenated American” ought to offend the sensibilities of every man who still treasures liberty and reveres the Republic bequeathed to us by men whose loyalty was not split, whose identity was not double-minded, and whose allegiance was undivided. To hyphenate “American” is to dilute it. It is to fracture the firm foundation upon which our constitutional Republic was laid.
To MAGA, We Don’t Need “Virtue-signaling,” but Pure Virtue Itself

6 days ago | thenewamerican.com | Selwyn Duke

It’s a shame, and a sign of the times, that we mostly hear the term “virtue” via that misbegotten newer term “virtue-signaling.” Oh, the critique the latter denotes is absolutely valid, but packaging matters. (Thus do I use “value-signaling” instead.) Illustrating why was a reader reaction to one of my articles years ago, in which I mentioned virtue.
Trump vs. Leftists on Juneteenth: Is It Just a DEI Holiday?

1 week ago | thenewamerican.com | Selwyn Duke

Affirmative-action holidays, encouraged by value-signaling white liberals, are quite something. A Zambian friend of mine once remarked that in Africa he’d never even heard of “Kwanzaa,” a supposedly African holiday coinciding with Christmas. Of course not. It was made up out of whole cloth in 1966 by black American activist and criminal “Maulana Karenga.” (Birth name: Ronald McKinley Everett.) This said, at least Kwanzaa is not a federal holiday.
Schara Family Speaks Out After Jury Sides With Hospital in Wrongful Death Suit

1 week ago | thenewamerican.com | Rebecca Terrell

“For those with ears to hear, they saw for the first time what’s behind the curtain.” With these words Scott Schara opened today’s press conference following his lawsuit against Saint Elizabeth Hospital and Ascension Health, where his daughter, Grace, died in 2021. He appeared with his wife, Cindy, daughter Jessica Vander Heiden, and two of the attorneys who worked on the case, Warner Mendenhall and Joe Voiland.
Is Iran a Legitimate Nuclear Threat?

1 week ago | thenewamerican.com | Paul Dragu

The United States is close to getting embroiled in a full-on, offensive war against Iran — possibly over a nonexistent threat. The Pentagon has been moving carrier strike groups into the Middle East, and President Donald Trump has been considering offensive military attacks on Iran. But recent news reports suggest that before Israel launched its attack on Iran last Thursday, U.S. intelligence didn’t believe the Islamic autocracy was close to building nuclear weapons.
Florida Officials Gave Commercial Driver’s Licenses to Illegals; Arrests Made

1 week ago | thenewamerican.com | Selwyn Duke

Call them 18-wheeler and dealers — or just call them criminal and dangerous. But if you’re wondering why some semi-truck drivers today don’t seem very skilled and may not even speak English, wonder no more. Because, it has been revealed, some Florida officials were giving illegal aliens commercial driver’s licenses in exchange for bribes. This means, of course, that these migrants were circumventing the testing process and have no proven qualifications.
Trump Administration Disbands Russian-focus Government Group

1 week ago | thenewamerican.com | Paul Dragu

The Trump administration has made another move indicating an American desire to normalize relations with Russia. The administration recently shuttered a secret group created to drum up policies to exert pressure on Russia regarding Ukraine. The working group, created in March or April, “lost steam in May as it became increasingly clear to participants that [Trump] was not interested in adopting a more confrontational stance toward Moscow,” according to a Reuters report.
Minnesota Political Assassinations: The Fruits of Democratic Words and Deeds

1 week ago | thenewamerican.com | Selwyn Duke

Social norms are funny things, hardly set in stone. There was a time when vulgarity was unheard in our films; now its ubiquitous in them — and the wider society. In the 1950s, boys might take rifles on NYC’s subways because they had shooting clubs at their government schools. Now these institutions may have cops and metal detectors and a gun is cause for a lockdown. Of course, violence is also more prevalent in the wider society, political violence included.
