Vance Sidesteps Questions On Reported Differences With Trump Over Iran War
The national media has begun to take note this week that the Iran War is expected to dominate the midterm conversation. This is especially after Republican Sen. Rand Paul's recent warnings. As we reported, he said days ago midterm elections could be "disastrous" if the Iran war persists into a quagmire.
"Already, we are behind the eight ball as far as the electoral process," Paul had told Fox Business. "I think if you add in high gas prices, high oil prices, and if we are still bombing Iran with kinetic action — people don't want to call it war — if there's still kinetic action that causes oil to be over $100, I think you're going to see a disastrous election," the libertarian senator added.
If the war continues into the summer and even the fall, this would further raise real concern for US Vice President JD Vance as he eyes the 2028 presidential election. The longer it goes...

SNAP Recipients Sue Trump Administration Over Sugary Food Restrictions
Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times,
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries sued the Department of Agriculture on March 11 over the issuance of waivers to five states restricting certain types of foods that can be purchased under the program.
On May 19 last year, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins issued a waiver to Nebraska that bans SNAP recipients in the state from buying soda or energy drinks. As of March 4 this year, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved similar waivers for 22 states in total.
In addition to soda and energy drinks, the additional waivers prohibit the purchase of fruit and vegetable drinks with less than 50 percent natural juice, as well as candy, unhealthy drinks, soft drinks, prepared desserts, sugar-sweetened beverages, and processed foods and beverages. Different states ban one or more of these items.
In the lawsuit, filed at the U.S. District Cou...

CDC: Little-Known Virus With No Vaccine Spreading In US

The human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is spreading in the United States, including in California and the Great Lakes region, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Symptoms include cough, fever, and nasal congestion, and, unlike better-known respiratory viruses, HMPV does not have a vaccine or known treatments, the CDC stated.
“There's no specific treatment that's generally recommended,” Dr. Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of California–Davis Children's Hospital, said in a video released by the school.
“For the youngest children, using a bulb syringe to clear the congestion can be useful. Sometimes a humidifier or vaporizer may be useful, especially if they have something like croup as a complication of infection...
