Polonium-210/Litvinenko Murder-Jonathan Emord

Good Politics Radio - Chuck Harder - Sun, 2024-04-28 05:04

Welcome to Health Law and Politics with your host Jonathan Emord.

On this show, Jonathan interviewed world renowned oncologist and immunologist Dr. Charles B. Simone on the Polonium-210 poisoning of former Russian spy Alexander Litvenenko. He also interviewed Heritage Foundation Russian scholar Ariel Cohen, Ph.D. and Hoover Institution Russian scholar David Satter on Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s movement toward oligarchy, and Putin’s use of the Russian FSB (formerly the Soviet KGB)against his political opponents.

What to you think?

Part 1 Part 2

 

Jonathan Emord, the only attorney in history who has defeated the Food and Drug Administration in federal court on six separate occasions, hosts the new show “Health Law and Politics.” The program airs every Saturday from 4PM to 6PM Eastern and Sunday from 2PM to 4PM Eastern, via radio stations nationwide and over the Talk Star Radio Network.

Jonathan Emord’s program documents instances of FDA and FTC abuse of power that sacrifice life or liberty. He interviews experts in the fields of health and medicine, litigants in cases against the FDA and the FTC, members of Congress and other government decisionmakers, and victims of FDA denial of access to medical treatment or health information. He also provides his own expert commentary on the legal and health implications of the government’s actions. “We will reveal the cost in human life, health, and liberty of political decisions that protect drug companies from competition at the expense of consumers,” Emord said. “We will show how FDA and FTC fail to follow the rule of law, harm those they were designed to help, and ignore the will of Congress, the Courts, and the American people,” he said.

GOP members announce principles on immigration reform by TimChapman

TownHall.com - Capitol Report - Sun, 2024-04-28 05:04

Today House Republicans opposed to the Senate McCain-Kennedy bill announced a set of five principles that immigration reform must adhere to. Those principles are:

Republicans strongly support initiatives to secure our borders and provide additional resources to federal and state authorities to strengthen border patrol efforts.

Republicans strongly support strengthening enforcement and stiffening penalties for illegal immigrants who break our immigration laws.

Republicans support enforcing the law on employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants and holding them accountable.

Republicans oppose efforts to reward the behavior of illegal immigrants who have made the choice to break our laws.

Republicans believe the success of our country depends on newcomers obeying the law, assimilating into American society by learning English, and embracing our common identity as Americans.
