A national shortage of baby formula brought on by pandemic-related supply-chain issues has forced US retailers such as Walgreens to ration the all-important product.The company - the second-largest pharmacy store chain in the United States behind CVS - said Friday that amid the supply-chain crunch, it is limiting customers to three infant and toddler formula product purchases at a time, at its 9,021 US locations. A company spokesperson told DailyMail.com that the restrictions, already in effect, stem from an 'increased demand and various supplier issues,
If humans are to live on the moon and one day make it to Mars then scientists must come up a way for them to grow their own food.
To that end, astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) could soon be tucking into a tasty meal of fresh steak — but only if they can perfect the technology of cultivating it from beef cells in microgravity first.
That is just one of the scientific experiments being carried out by three amateur astronauts who are launching to the orbital observatory later today for what will be NASA's first ever space tourism mission.
One of the men allegedly posing as a Homeland Security agent has shared images to his Instagram posing with actor Bradley Cooper and comedian Seth Meyers.The account, which is private but was accessed by DailyMail.com, shows Haider Sher-Ali, 35, in three images with Cooper – two selfies and one full body image where the two appeared to be preparing to board a private jet.Ali posted one image with Meyers – a selfie in what could be Washington, D.C., which is where Ali has resided for at least the last two years.Considering the allegations against Ali, it is very probable that the images are photoshopped, although it's not immediately clear whether
With many elements in the U.S. supply chain still going nowhere fast, discount retail giant Walmart has raised the starting salary for its truck drivers after the industry lost 4,900 truckers in one year alone.Starting wages will jump from $87,500 to between $95,000 and $110,000, according to Walmart spokeswoman Anne Hatfield.The company will also incentivize current employees at their distribution centers to become truckers for the company after a 12-week certification course taught by Walmart’s own drivers, the Daily Mail reported.The announcement came Thursday in light of the American Trucking Association’s latest estimate from October that the U.S. is short of truckers by a number of about 80,000.

President Biden in a made-for-TV sweet moment called Vice President Kamala Harris the first 'really smart decision' he made in his presidency as he spoke during a celebration for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson being confirmed to the Supreme Court. Harris introduced him as she told of the 'deep sense of pride and joy' she felt watching the votes roll in to confirm Jackson to the high court. 'We are standing here in great part because of one President Joe Biden and because of Joe Biden's vision and leadership and commitment a lifelong commitment to building a better America,'
Another January 6 Narrative Goes Boom

How does a mob “illegally storm” the Capitol building when police let them in? That is the latest narrative-shifting question the media wants desperately to avoid after a federal judge on Wednesday found a January 6 defendant not guilty for his conduct during the protest at the Capitol that day. Matthew Martin was arrested in Santa Fe, New Mexico on April 22, 2021; he later was charged with the four most common misdemeanors related to the Justice Department’s prosecution of Capitol protesters: entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct, violent entry, and parading in the Capitol building.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly expressed frustration with both the Biden White House and left-wing members of her conference in recent months, questioning the appointments of White House chief of staff Ron Klain and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, according to a forthcoming book.The extent of Pelosi’s bitterness is laid out in “This Will Not Pass,” by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns — details of which were published by Punchbowl News Friday and underscore the fragility of Democratic Party unity entering this fall’s midterm elections.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) charged in an op-ed Friday that the Florida legislature should end Disney’s $600 million tax cheat loophole.Gaetz explained in an op-ed that Walt Disney Corporation benefits from a Florida tax code loophole that has allowed Disney to potentially skirt around hundreds of millions of dollars in state corporate income taxes. To fix this loophole, Gaetz, a former Florida House chairman of Finance and Tax, wrote that Florida should join the majority of states in adopting combined reporting of state corporate income taxes.
President Joe Biden slammed Republican senators on Friday for the 'vile' abuse he said they heaped on Ketanji Brown Jackson during her Supreme Court confirmation hearings.He appeared alongside the newest justice on the south lawn of the White House for a celebration of the historic vote a day earlier to elevate the first black woman to the Supreme Court.The sun shone and the Marine band played show tunes and pop songs before Biden used the setting to blast his opponents in the Senate. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy but I knew the person I nominated would be put through a painful and difficult confirmation process,' he said.
The first ever all-civilian crew to launch to the International Space Station blasted into orbit today, with three businessmen each paying $55 million (£41 million) for the privilege. Canadian investor and philanthropist Mark Pathy, US entrepreneur Larry Connor, and ex-Israeli Air Force pilot Eytan Stibbe made history when they were fired into space from Florida's Kennedy Space Center at 11:17 ET (16:17 BST). The crew, which also includes retired NASA astronaut Michael López-Alegría acting as commander, launched on a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule in what is the latest milestone in the commercialisation of space.

The Senate voted to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court on Thursday.
Jackson was nominated by President Biden after Justice Stephen Breyer announced in February that he will retire by summer. Jackson will join Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor in the Court’s liberal minority.
Biden fulfilled a campaign pledge by nominating the first black woman to the Court. Jackson will be the third African American justice confirmed to the Court, after Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas.
A renewable energy company was given five-year probation and ordered to pay more than $8 million in fines after the deaths of 150 bald and golden eagles on their wind turbines. NextEra Energy subsidiary ESI Energy pleaded guilty to violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, per a press release from the Department of Justice. The Act prevents anyone from killing or taking parts from protected birds without permission from the federal government. Golden and bald eagles are further protected by federal law. The company pleaded guilty to three specific deaths, which prompted the fines, per the DOJ. As part of
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed Thursday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has tested positive for the coronavirus, kissing President Biden on the cheek and holding his hand did not meet the White House’s definition of "close contact."
"How can you guys say that President Biden was not a close contact with speaker Pelosi when there's video of the speaker kissing him?" Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Psaki on Thursday. "Their definition of it is 15 minutes of contact within a set period of time, within six feet," Psaki responded, referring to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definition of "close contact." "It did not meet that bar."

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (BOS) on Tuesday approved a motion suspending official travel to Florida and Texas over the southern states' legislation regarding parental rights and transgender minors.
Critics have depicted recent orders from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Don DeSantis as harmful to LGBTQ inclusiveness and safety.
The LA County BOS responded to the legislation by voting to "suspend all travel to the States of Texas and Florida for the conduct of County business unless the Chief Executive Officer determines that the failure to authorize such travel would seriously harm the County’s interests."
Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Thursday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that some Republican senator’s questions to judge Ketanji Brown Jackson during her nomination hearing for U.S. Supreme Court were “insulting and demeaning and degrading, or just plain filthy.”
Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “How much more difficult was this process for Ketanji Brown Jackson as a black woman, especially during those totally and incredibly partisan times.”
Booker said, “There is a lot of hurt in America and a lot of private of people who were qualified who are competent and who were disrespected, disregarded or just plain dissed frankly.
Government regulation and control over the internet can defeat a “demand for crazy” through the spread of incorrect messages, former President Barack Obama said Wednesday.Obama, 60, spoke with Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg at an event hosted by the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics and the magazine.“I do think that there is a demand for crazy on the internet that we have to grapple with,” Obama said, before adding a mix of regulation and industry standards are needed to address the issue.Obama lamented how misinformation plays out across the U.S.,
Was it his overriding craze for power that showed former President Barack Obama for what he really is in the viral video displaying Dems totally ignoring stand-in President Joe Biden on Obama’s so-called “return” to the White House on Tuesday?
Tucker Carlson described it point blank by describing it, ‘Like A Pack Of Wild Dogs, Democrats Have Decided To Kill Off Weak Biden’. “It is his turn to be eliminated.”(Summit News, April 6, 2022)

The Senate voted 53-47 on Thursday to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, with three Republicans voting with all Democrats.Jackson, a 51 year-old federal appeals court judge, will be the first black woman on the high court and the third black justice. Her confirmation vote was not nearly as bipartisan as that of the justice she'd been chosen to replace, Stephen Breyer, and others. But still, President Biden can tout a bipartisan win thanks to yes votes from GOP Sens. Mitt Romney, Utah, Susan Collins, Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, Alaska.
Pope Francis, a leading advocate of Doormat Christianity, is at it again, trying to reverse nearly two millennia of Christian doctrine, by preaching total passivity—even against violent aggression.
On March 18, 2022, Francis declared before an audience that “A war is always—always!—the defeat of humanity, always. We, the educated, who work in education, are defeated by this war, because on another side we are responsible.”
So far, all well and good, if only because such lofty but impotent words are expected.
But then Francis went so far as to say, “There is no such thing as a just war: they do not exist!”
That is a remarkably dangerous claim, of similar naïve thinkers—
Obama’s bloodless coup

Isn’t the Democrat Party the party of empathy, love and inclusion? Oh wait, that’s what they say, not exactly what they do.
No putsch here. Oh no, this Svengali is way too cool to actually show his fangs as he destroys his former vice-president, Joe Biden. Forgetting also that Joe Biden was the man who made him. (snip) But, have you ever watched any politician, or ex-president no less, more narcissist than Obama’s televised bloodless coup at the White House? Clearly the overthrow was devised, written, directed, and implemented by the former president.

In the war for the hearts, minds and corporate relocations of businesses, Chicago has fired another shot across the bow at three Sun Belt rivals over recent legislation targeting the LGBTQ+ community, such as the Florida education law critics have dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.” World Business Chicago, the city’s public-private economic development arm, bought full-page ads Thursday in the Orlando Sentinel, Dallas Morning News and Phoenix Business Journal to launch a new marketing campaign and promote Chicago as a more inclusive business climate. “In Chicago, We Believe,” takes on a lightning rod issue that has led a growing number of
