Taliban justice comes to the streets of Bordeaux, where an Afghan migrant recently slit the throat of another Afghan migrant, stabbing him eleven times, reportedly settling a years-old family dispute that carried over from when the two families were not yet “French,” and still living in their native, dirty, and degenerate hellhole.
The encounter took place outside a McDonald’s just before the traditional French dinner hours, and according to the report from Remix News, the two men agreed to meet to settle the score, but “frantic screaming” ensued as the duel’s loser was seen “splayed on his back as he bled out from his neck.”
Isn’t cultural enrichment great? We should probably figure out how to import more and more of them, so the entire West can just be the Greater Third World. Just what I want to see while enjoying a McFlurry with my children as they play in the ball pit—a knife fight and severed heads.
With that as context, consider that there are currently plans in Texas to establish a “Muslim mega city” just north of Dallas, which would see the construction of a sprawling, “self-segregated” 400-acre Islamist enclave. Per an item published at the Daily Mail yesterday, state governor Greg Abbott “accused the Islamic center of practicing sharia law,” which is a violation of state law, and has ordered law enforcement and government prosecutors to conduct an investigation, barring the project from progressing in the meantime:
Sharia law, with its foundation in pedophila (like the Afghans above and their bacha bāzī or the child bride purchases on which even CNN reported), honor killings, severe oppression of women and girls, bestiality, and might making right—shouldn’t have any place in America, but somehow it does. This isn’t the first planned Islamist-only community, with more and more requesting building permits across Texas.
Thank a progressive, Democrats and “Republicans” alike!
Mesoblast (MESO) has filed a request for a Type B meeting with the FDA to discuss the accelerated approval pathway for Revascor® in treating ischemic chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and inflammation. The meeting, expected this quarter, will be held under Mesoblast's Regenerative Medicines Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation.
In a previous Type B meeting, the FDA indicated Mesoblast's eligibility to file for accelerated approval for Revascor in end-stage HFrEF patients, based on data from two randomized controlled trials. The FDA also specified the requirement for a single confirmatory trial in class II/III patients with ischemic HFrEF and inflammation post-approval.
The upcoming meeting aims to obtain FDA feedback on chemistry, manufacturing & controls (CMC), align on potency assays for commercial product release, and discuss the proposed design and primary endpoint for the confirmatory trial.
Calley Means, co-founder of the Truemed telehealth platform and a special government employee at the Department of Health and Human Services advising Robert F. Kennedy Jr., defended efforts to eliminate waste and fraud within federal health agencies.
During a tense exchange at the Politico Health Care Summit on Wednesday, Means criticized existing federal health authorities as an "utter failure," prompting one healthcare lobbyist in the crowd to shout, "That's not true!" Means then proceeded on a warpath with stats, shutting up the room of anti-MAHA lobbyists.
Here's the exchange:
Calley: "Those scientists fundamentally have overseen a record of utter failure."
Lobbyist: "That's not true!"
Calley: "Oh, that's not true?"
"Has there been one single chronic disease medication in modern American history that has lowered rates of the chronic disease?"
"Is it appropriate that the American Academy of Pediatrics right now, which is 90% funded by pharma, is pushing Ozempic on six year olds?"
"The lobbyists in this room do not have the humility to admit that we have gone completely wrong."
"The lobbyists in this room laughing when we have the sickest children in the developed world."
Calley Means just torched a room of lobbyists!

Means continued:
"When you turn on CNBC, it's just a nonstop infomercial for pharma. It's a Skyrizi commercial followed by Scott Gottlieb saying how Bobby's killing people followed by a breathless coverage of the measles outbreak, and no mention of the mental health crisis. It is insane for you to insinuate that the thing standing between us and better health is more government bureaucrats."
It is insane to argue that more government bureaucrats and more spending is standing in the way of better health.
It’s the opposite.
The moves from HHS this week disempower administrators who let us down + ensures more money goes to scientists and frontline health services. https://t.co/OFzCGCHSEp
Means defended rolling back staffing levels to 2017, arguing that trimming bloated federal health agencies is necessary after decades of worsening public health and some of the worst health rates for kids in the developed world.
There is a dividing line in the healthcare debate:
Do we need bold change to change the incentives of our system to reverse childhood chronic disease?
As Means pointed out, it's time for meaningful reforms (such as HHS cuts last week)—not just in health care, but across the processed foods industrial complex. It's time for Americans to demand big food stop poisoning them with chemicals and seed oils.
A startup run by Tim Stokely, founder of adult content social media site OnlyFans, has partnered with a cryptocurrency foundation to submit a late-stage plan toacquire short video app TikTok from Chinese owner ByteDance, the two said on Wednesday.
The intent to bid was sent this week to the White House by Zoop, billionaire Stokely’s new company, and the Hbar Foundation, which manages the Hedera cryptocurrency network’s treasury.
While OnlyFans is known mainly for pornography, Zoop is mainstream and family-friendly, and gives back the majority of its revenue to those who post on the site, rewarding them for driving up user engagement.
OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely submitted a bid for TikTok through his new company Zoop.
“Our bid for TikTok isn’t just about changing ownership, it’s about creating a new paradigm where both creators and their communities benefit directly from the value they generate,” Zoop co-founder RJ Phillips told Reuters.
The partners have been working with a consortium of investors, Phillips said. He declined to provide details on the bid or the investors backing it.
President Trump is expected on Wednesday to consider a proposal for TikTok to decide the fate of the app used by 170 million Americans. ByteDance faces an April 5 deadline to either sell TikTok or face a US ban on national security grounds under a US law that took effect on Jan. 19.
The law, passed last year with broad bipartisan support, reflects concern in Washington that TikTok’s ownership makes it beholden to the Chinese government and that Beijing could use the app to conduct influence operations against the United States.

TikTok advocates argue that the ban unlawfully threatens to restrict Americans from accessing foreign media in violation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech.
Trump postponed enforcement of the law until April 5 after taking office in January to give himself time to shepherd a deal. He has said he could extend the deadline further if needed.
The talks on TikTok have coalesced around a plan for the biggest non-Chinese investors in ByteDance to raise their stakes and acquire the app’s US operations, Reuters has reported.

Trump said last month his administration was in touch with four different groups about a prospective TikTok deal, without identifying them.
In the closely watched sale of TikTok, the White House is playing the role of an investment bank, with Vice President JD Vance running the auction.
Lefty media worked themselves into a lather over Elon Musk’s imminent departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — but his tenure was always meant to be temporary.
Musk — DOGE’s lodestar and President Trump’s right-hand man — is in fact expected to step back from the administration at the end of next month, two sources close to the White House tell The Post.
But his last day was a fait accompli from the start of the administration, per federal regulations which mandate special government employees (SGEs) can only remain at their post for 130 consecutive days.

In Musk’s case, that would peg his last day at the DOGE helm as May 30, precisely 130 days since Trump’s inauguration.
But none of this — nor repeated assertions to the contrary going back months — stopped Politico and left-wing pundits from heralding the Tesla and SpaceX CEO stepping down from DOGE as evidence of a facturing of the Trump-Musk alliance.
In early February, however, Musk told investors that he expected to be in the Trump White House for only about four months, Post columnist Charles Gasparino reported.AFP via Getty Images
“The news represents a shift in the Trump-Musk relationship from a month ago, when White House officials & allies were predicting Musk was ‘here to stay’ and that Trump would find a way to blow past the 130-day time limit,” Politico capitol bureau chief Rachel Bade breathlessly reported on X Wednesday morning, labeling her stating of the obvious as a “SCOOP.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt joined the dogpile of more than 1,200 commenters ridiculing Bade’s post.
“This ‘scoop’ is garbage,” Leavitt responded to Blade’s thread before plainly restating the facts.

“Elon Musk and President Trump have both *publicly* stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete.”
The plan has always been to let Musk return to civilian life after his SGE status expires — and Trump himself recently alluded to the X boss’s departure coming sooner rather than later.
“At some point, he’s going to be going back … I’ll keep him as long as I can keep him, he’s a very talented guy,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday.
Musk himself acknowledged the 130-day limit in an interview with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier last week, saying, “I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by $1 trillion within that time frame.”
In addition, Musk told investors in early February that he expected to only be in the Trump White House for about four months, Post columnist Charles Gasparino reported at the time.
Two months earlier, even before Trump took office, Musk had declared the “final step of DOGE is to delete itself.”
Musk has made waves in his short time with the Trump administration, leading DOGE in making major cuts at the US Agency for International Development and the Department of Education, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Social Security Administration.
The massive layoffs sparked violent protests targeting Tesla vehicles — which prompted the Trump administration to crack down on vandals and call the attacks “domestic terrorism.”
“I think a great wrong is being done to the people of Tesla and to our customers,” Musk told Baier. “I mean, Tesla’s a peaceful company that has made great cars, great products — that’s all it’s done.”
Musk also made headlines earlier in the administration by directing all federal employees to send a progress report with five bullet points detailing their accomplishments in the previous week, but Trump later said DOGE would be serving more as “tech support” than human resources after yet another backlash.
The White House has also said Musk was using his tech knowledge to determine how Atlantic magazine editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a confidential Trump administration Signal group chat on carrying out strikes against the Houthis in Yemen March 15.
The FBI has arrested a high-ranking MS-13 leader based in Las Vegas who is accused of orchestrating 11 murders, federal officials said.
Joel Vargas-Escobar faces charges, including racketeering, for several murders, federal officials said. In 2018, the federal government deported Vargas-Escobar to El Salvador, but he illegally re-entered the country.
Vargas-Escobar allegedly co-led MS-13’s activities in Nevada and California, specifically in the Las Vegas valley, officials said, adding they believe he personally “ordered” two murders. MS-13 is a national and transnational gang with an estimated 10,000 members across 10 states and the District of Columbia.
“MS-13 operates through the use of intimidation and violence, including murder, and enriching members and associates through criminal activities, including breaking into houses and stealing firearms, jewelry, cash, and other items of value, and selling narcotics,” federal officials said. “MS-13 is organized by subsets known as ‘cliques,’”’ and each clique typically has one or more leaders, commonly referred to as “shot callers.”
A federal indictment was first filed against Vargas-Escobar in 2021, records said. Federal agents arrested Vargas-Escobar on Tuesday in Long Island, New York, they said.
“The indictment charges members of the ‘Parkview’ clique of MS-13 with committing 11 murders over about a year in Nevada and California,” officials said in a news release. “According to the indictment, many of the victims were allegedly kidnapped by MS-13 members and taken to remote locations in the mountains and desert where they were tortured and killed.”
“The American people are safer following the arrest of yet another MS-13 leader thanks to the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division and Joint Task Force Vulcan,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a news release. “This terrorist entered our country illegally and is accused of orchestrating 11 murders — under President Trump’s leadership, we will not rest until this terrorist organization is completely dismantled and its members are behind bars.”
“The FBI is fully dedicated to utilizing all available resources to partner with local, state, and federal agencies in disrupting and dismantling criminal organizations that pose a threat to the communities we serve,” FBI Las Vegas Special Agent In Charge Spencer Evans said. “Every family has the right to reside in a community free from fear and gang violence. We encourage the public to provide information that can assist us in this critical mission. Do not suffer in silence; law enforcement is prepared to support victims and promote safer communities for everyone.”
Vargas-Escobar will be returned to Nevada to face a federal judge in the coming weeks.
