Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, the maligned ENT doc who refused to be bullied into abandoning a Covid treatment protocol she insists was responsible for keeping some 4,000 patients out of the hospital, filed a defamation lawsuit this week against Houston Medical, one of the most powerful institutions in Texas. At stake is not only Bowden’s reputation, but that of America’s medical establishment.

Why U.S. Airlines Will Forever Suck
Who is ultimately to blame for the dismal state of U.S. airline travel? Warning: You probably won’t like the answer.
Ford’s Farley Played Biden for Fool
In his March State of the Union address and again last month, President Biden was celebrating Ford’s commitment to invest in America and expand its workforce here.
Bloomberg reported today that Ford is looking to cut as much as 26 percent of its salaried workforce in the U.S. Meanwhile, the company has significantly expanded its engineering and other critical operations in Mexico and India.
Andy Levin’s Vile AIPAC Smear
“It’s all about the Benjamins baby.”
That was Rep. Ilan Omar’s infamous 2019 tweet accusing the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC of having undue influence on U.S. politics. Michigan Rep. Andy Levin is trying to smear his liberal AIPAC-supported primary opponent with the same argument, albeit a tad more subtly.
Here’s some insight about J Street, the supposedly pro-Israel lobbying group that far and away is Levin’s biggest financial backer and was an early supporter of Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a fierce antisemite who advocates a global Israel boycott to weaken the country.
Joe Biden’s Regulatory Destruction
Americans appreciate first-hand the damage Joe Biden has done to the economy when they buy food and gas or experience shortages of once readily available staples. Not yet understood is the possibly irreversible damage Biden has done to U.S. regulatory agencies.
Under Biden’s watch, CDC has lost all credibility, the FDA its two top vaccine experts, the FTC is experiencing a staff stampede, a senior Justice department official was secretly receiving nearly $1 million from Stanford University, an FCC nomination is moribund, and the NHTSA is underfunded.
Biden’s only been on the job for 19 months. Imagine the regulatory state of America if Biden remains in office for a full term.
Gretchen Whitmer Played WaPo for Fools
Michigan governor played Washington Post reporter Ruby Cramer for a fool. What’s troubling is the Post recently declared Cramer as one of her generation’s “dynamic talents.”
Here’s another example of why Americans shouldn’t make political determinations and judgements based on what they read in the legacy media.
Elon Musk: His Word Isn’t His Bond
A man’s word was once his bond. In walking away from his previously unconditional commitment to acquire Twitter, Elon Musk has demonstrated that character in business no longer matters.
Gavin Newsom’s Florida Misadventure
California Governor Gavin Newsom imagines himself as presidential material. The hare-brained ad he ran on Fox News in Florida encouraging Floridians to move to California is reason enough to knock him out of contention.
Stellantis Warns Auto Industry Might Collapse
The top executives of Stellantis, whose U.S. brands include Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler, on Wednesday warned the auto industry is in danger of collapse if the prices of electric vehicles don’t significantly decline. Supply chain and materials’ shortages makes that scenario unlikely.
Underscoring the cluelessness of the U.S. leadership driving the accelerated conversion to electric vehicles, Reuters reported this morning that a proposed California tax on lithium mining could lead to additional shortages and stifle the U.S. lithium mining industry before it begins. China already controls the global EV materials supply chain.
The ineptness of America’s energy leadership comes as no surprise to Michigan residents who lived in the state between 2003 and 2011.
Hannah Elliott: GM’s Worst Nightmare
When I worked in PR, I advised clients there was a 99 percent chance of pulling the wool over reporters’ eyes, but it was ill advised to risk the unlikely one percent. Bloomberg writer Hannah Elliott has taught GM the wisdom of my counsel.
