President Donald Trump often praises his Cabinet members, but no one has received as much attention lately as his secretary of state, Marco Rubio. Rubio has often been in the spotlight over the past year, and especially after the U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in early January. Rubio was a key figure in the strategy and planning of the operation and now oversees the Venezuelan regime led by interim leader Delcy Rodríguez. In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly praised Rubio, saying that he will “go down as the best secretary of state.”
Rubio, who also serves as national security advisor, is increasingly viewed in Washington as a rising force within the administration. Some compare him to Henry Kissinger, who acted first as national security adviser and later as an influential secretary of state under President Richard Nixon and President Gerald Ford. (More) |

The director of the National Institutes of Health said in an interview with The Epoch Times that there’s a dearth of high-quality research into vaccines and autism and that the health agency is funding research that will determine the causes of the disorder.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the NIH’s director, said he has read studies that have found no connection between the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and autism. Bhattacharya said he sees the studies as robust. “For other vaccines, there actually isn’t this kind of rich literature,” he said.
“‘Do vaccines cause autism?’ is a poorly formed question,” Bhattacharya said later. “Do I believe that we know that there are some vaccines that cause autism? The answer—I don’t think that’s true. Do we know for a fact that every single vaccine in the combination it is given doesn’t cause autism? Also, I don’t know that we know that. These are things that are worthy of research.” (More)

I’ve never liked the word liberal applied in the way it is today. The word itself has a noble heritage. It meant being for freedom generally and opposed to despotism and dictatorship by church or state. (Read more) |
