Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s nomination to head Health and Human Services (HHS), has said he wants to prohibit pharmaceutical companies from advertising directly to consumers. “We are one of only two countries in the world that allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to consumers on television. Not surprisingly, Americans consume more pharmaceutical products than anyone else on the planet,” RFK Jr. said. Before he dropped out of the presidential election and endorsed Trump, RFK Jr. said he would issue an executive order to ban pharmaceutical advertising on television.

Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) May 22, 2024 If the U.S. Senate confirms RFK Jr. as HHS secretary, banning pharmaceutical advertising will likely still be an objective. One research firm views banning direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising as the “biggest imminent threat” from RFK Jr. Fierce Pharma reports: In a report Sunday, research firm Intron Health suggested that such a ban represents a major risk of RFK Jr.’s (still to-be-confirmed) HHS leadership for the biopharma industry. “Whilst we have a relatively benign view of RFK’s impact on the Pharma industry, one thing that does worry us is the potential for the US government to ban DTC advertising of drugs,” Intron wrote, adding, “We see this as the biggest imminent threat from RFK and the new Trump administration.” The analysts noted that because the return on investment for DTC drug ads is quite high—with “estimates ranging as high as 100%-500%, depending on the drug”—pharmas will “almost certainly” see their drug sales take a hit from a DTC ban, even as they save money on marketing spending. Intron cited Fierce Pharma Marketing’s annual list of the top DTC ad spenders as examples of drugs that could be hardest hit by a potential ban, including AbbVie’s Skyrizi and Rinvoq, and Sanofi and Regeneron’s Dupixent, among others. “With a stroke of the pen, you can change back the rule that allows pharmaceutical advertisers to do direct-to-consumer ads on television,” RFK Jr. previously said.

The Biden FDA issued new guidelines on DTC advertising that went into effect on May 20, requiring advertising to state drugs’ side effects and medication risks in a “clear, conspicuous, and neutral manner.” Kennedy called for a review of these guidelines in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal published on Sept. 5.

As usual, Clif High just gave us something to think about… The man simply thinks differently, he’s like a walking Apple slogan. First up, a disclaimer: No, we’re not promoting violence of any kind.  We’re simply doing a legal analysis here and the results are fascinating! While everyone is all worked up about how Joe promised he wouldn’t pardon Hunter, Clif points out what is being missed in this whole conversation. Basically, once you’re pardoned you no longer have your 5th Amendment “right to remain silent” because that only exists to make sure you don’t self-incriminate yourself. So…if there’s no chance you can face criminal charges, and you get called into court to testify against, oh I don’t know….maybe your Burisma partners?  You have to answer. And Clif suggests “they” would never allow it to get that far, if you catch his drift. See here: So, do you guys realize that Dementia Joe just signed Hunter’s Death Sentence? See, now that he is pardoned, he HAS to testify truthfully to MAINTAIN that pardon. And no action can be take against him for his participation in any crime…. BUT HE HAS TO NAME HIS PARTNERS IN… — clif is antiselenite (@clif_high) December 2, 2024 So, do you guys realize that Dementia Joe just signed Hunter’s Death Sentence? See, now that he is pardoned, he HAS to testify truthfully to MAINTAIN that pardon. And no action can be take against him for his participation in any crime…. BUT HE HAS TO NAME HIS PARTNERS IN CRIME…. yeah, they’re gonna have someone shoot him in the head. Just sayin. Bye Hunter. You were a bacteria on a turd. Good riddance. Oh my! Now do you get it? But I was curious to see if Clif was right in his analysis…. After all, to the best of my knowledge he is not an attorney. So is this sound analysis? The answer is actually “Yes”. ChatGPT explains that Clif is exactly right in what he says: FULL TEXT HERE IF THIS IS EASIER TO READ: If you are issued a presidential pardon, your ability to invoke the Fifth Amendment’s protection against self-incrimination is significantly affected. Here’s how it works: Fifth Amendment Protection: The Fifth Amendment protects you from being compelled to testify against yourself if your testimony could incriminate you in a criminal case. However, if you have received a presidential pardon for the offense in question, you can no longer be prosecuted for that offense. As a result, you lose the ability to invoke the Fifth Amendment for those specific acts covered by the pardon because there’s no longer a risk of self-incrimination. Compelled Testimony: Once pardoned, you can be compelled to testify about the events related to the pardon. If you refuse to answer questions in court, you could face contempt charges. Truthful Testimony: You are still required to testify truthfully under oath. If you lie during your testimony, you could be charged with perjury, which would not be covered by the original pardon. Scope of the Pardon: It’s essential to note that the pardon only applies to offenses committed before it was granted. If your testimony reveals involvement in other crimes not covered by the pardon, you could still invoke the Fifth Amendment for those crimes or face prosecution for them. In summary, after receiving a presidential pardon, you lose the ability to invoke the Fifth Amendment for the pardoned offenses and are generally compelled to testify truthfully about those matters. However, you retain the right to assert the Fifth Amendment for crimes not covered by the pardon. So….is this RIP Hunter? Would you feel sorry for him?

As we reported, Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, yesterday, and he put a date on it. He pardoned him for all crimes from 2014 onward. Hunter is not accountable for his decade-long crime spree. Who can forget that in 2014, Hunter sat on the Burisma board? The tax and gun charges weren’t the serious […] The post Hunter’s 10-Year Crime Spree Is Fully Pardoned appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

“Harry Potter” author and female rights activist JK Rowling blasted The New York Times on Monday for the “rewriting of history” about transgender activists’ vicious tactics, while Rowling outlined just how much she and others have suffered for speaking out for girls and women. Rowling posted a screenshot of a Times article that suggests trans activists are going to have to moderate their “unsparing criticism” of those who disagree with them, ever since Democrats lost the 2024 election and Americans are increasingly disagreeing with the trans agenda. “The rewriting of history begins,” Rowling wrote. “Opponents of gender ideology haven’t merely ‘endured unsparing criticism’. I haven’t simply been told I ‘betrayed real feminism’ or received a few book-burning videos.” “I’ve been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence,” the author outlined. “A trans woman posted my family’s home address with a bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “I could write a twenty thousand word essay on what the consequences have been to me and my family, and what we’ve endured is NOTHING compared to the harm done to others,” Rowling said. “By standing up to a movement that relies on threats of violence, ostracisation and guilt-by-association, all of us have been smeared and defamed, but many have lost their livelihoods. Some have been physically assaulted by trans activists. Female politicians have been forced to hire personal security on the advice of police. The news that one of the UK’s leading endocrinologists, Dr Hillary Cass, was advised not to travel by public transport for her own safety should shame everyone who let this insanity run amok.” Now that the “political landscape has shifted,” she highlighted, “some who’ve been riding high on their own supply are waking up with a hell of a hangover.” “They’ve started wondering whether calling left-wing feminists who wanted all-female rape centers ‘Nazis’ was such a smart strategy,” Rowling mocked. “Maybe parents arguing that boys ought not to be robbing their daughters of sporting opportunities might, sort of, have a point? Possibly letting any man who says ‘I’m a woman’ into the locker room with twelve-year-old girls could have a downside, after all?” Eventually, a “reckoning” is coming, Rowling said. “Mealy-mouthed retconning of what has actually happened over the past ten years is predictable but will not stand,” she wrote. “I don’t doubt those who’ve turned a blind eye to the purges of non-believers, or even applauded and encouraged them, would rather minimize what the true cost of speaking out was, but ‘yes, maybe trans activists went a little over the top at times’ takes are frankly insulting.” “A full reckoning on the effects of gender ideology on individuals, society and politics is still a long way off, but I know this: the receipts will make very ugly reading when that time comes, and there are far too many of them to sweep politely under the carpet,” she closed the post. The rewriting of history begins. Opponents of gender ideology haven’t merely ‘endured unsparing criticism’.

When working at an offshore oil rig, you don’t expect to get any visitors. But that’s exactly what workers in New Zealand were met with recently. While a group of them were busy with their usual tasks, someone spotted a tiny fur seal onboard the oil rig. From what they can tell, the baby seal found his way onto a supply basket while it was in port. Unfortunately, the workers didn’t notice until the animal had been lifted 40 meters into the air. This made it more challenging for the workers to find the best way to free the trapped creature. Luckily, though, they were able to get in contact with someone at the Department of Conservation hotline (DOCHOT). In the end, the seal was placed into a crate and gently lowered to sea level. @yahooaustralia Mystery as workers discover surprise creature 40km out to sea #yahoonews #yahooaustralia ♬ original sound – Yahoo Australia When a Baby Fur Seal Becomes an Adorable Stowaway, Oil Rig Workers Go the Extra Mile to Keep Him Safe The oil rig workers themselves came up with this plan before they even made their phone call. Still, they wanted confirmation from experts that they were doing the right thing. They didn’t know, after all, if the young seal was ready to venture out on his own. The person who took their call, Hohepa Katipa-Nepia, shares what it was like to take such an unusual call. “I got to work finding a DOC ranger to give advice on how to handle the situation. In the meantime, a worker from the platform stayed on the line, explained what they were doing, and gave details of their plan to return to the seal to the sea,” Hohepa explains. “Once we tracked down a ranger to give the plan the okay, it all went off without a hitch.” While the seal is still young, Hohepa says that now is around the time when he “should be weaned” and “off adventuring on their own.” As for the oil rig workers… well, they’re still pretty shocked that the seal found his way to them in the first place, though they’re more than happy they could help an animal in need. “Safety is the heart of our business, ensuring everyone gets home safely to their loved ones each day is the priority,” general manager Kevin Goulet says, “and this seal was no exception.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
