Outrageous: Drexel Medical School Enshrines CRT and ‘Antiracism’ As Part of Doctors Duty

In the latest outrageous virtue signaling in academia, Campus Reform is reporting Drexel University’s College of Medicine is pushing an ‘Antiracism in Healthcare’ module for medical students that a conservative organization accuses of “prioritizing ideological indoctrination over scientific inquiry.”

Medicine was never meant to be a place for social experiments and virtue signaling.

According to Campus Reform, “The module, which appears on the college’s website, promises to teach students to ‘explain how structural, cultural, and individual racism have shaped our common history and have led to vast societal disparities in education, policing, wealth and healthcare, and to “commit to being antiracist in your attitudes and behaviors.’”

This seems to bear little relevance to actually practicing medicine, a field where any sort of politics or ideology should not play a role.

One section of this module even makes the outlandish claim that “structural racism accounts for health disparities.”

In other words, now people getting sick is also a result of racism according to Left-wing ideology.

“Perhaps the great majority of healthcare providers would deny that they are racist or let biases influence their patient care,” the module says.

“Yet there are great disparities in healthcare and health outcomes between racial groups. Certainly, structural racism accounts for many of these disparities.”

Another section of this module is focused on the canon of woke ideology, CRT, or critical race theory.

According to this absurd theory, race is a social construct and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice but has become structural.”

“Do No Harm, a conservative nonprofit organization that advocates for removing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) from medicine, criticized the Drexel module for valuing an identity-based ideology over science.”

Revealed: Sensitive NHS documents on royals, aristocrats and tycoons leaked after Russian hackers target health service

Hundreds of thousands of sensitive NHS documents, some relating to British and foreign Royals, senior judges and members of the House of Lords, have been stolen by Russian hackers, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The unprecedented data breach, one of the largest to hit the health service, has seen 169,000 confidential documents dumped on the dark web after the ransomware gang exploited a bug in software provided to NHS bodies by US tech giant Oracle.

Many of those affected by the leak are high-profile NHS private patients – with some invoicing details from Barts NHS Health Trust in London linked to unnamed patients from royal residences including King Charles’s official home Clarence House, Buckingham Palace, Sandringham and Windsor Castle.

It is unclear which Royals were treated and for what purpose but the leak raises serious concerns about the security of medical details of the Royal Household as the King continues to be treated for an undisclosed form of cancer.

The grave incident also casts doubt over controversial plans to introduce digital ID systems in the UK as Oracle’s billionaire owner, Larry Ellison, is the biggest donor to the Tony Blair Institute, which is lobbying for such systems to be introduced. Others affected by the breach include the BBC, Premier League football clubs, British aristocrats, a member of the Bahraini Royal Family and billionaire business moguls.

The files, which have been seen by the MoS, also include data linked to children being treated at NHS hospitals, women undergoing fertility treatment and patients receiving kidney dialysis.

The extraordinary breach comes after cybersecurity experts warned in October that the Oracle software used by the NHS and the Treasury – which provides financial management and HR support to organisations – was vulnerable to Russian hackers, and that attempts at ‘exploitation’ were ‘highly likely’.

Researchers at Google said hackers from a gang known as Clop had sent emails to executives at ‘numerous organisations… alleging the theft of sensitive data’ and demanding money for its safe return.

NY Times Columnist Claims Trump Lies About Democrats Wanting Healthcare for Illegals – Then Admits it’s Happening

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently appeared on the podcast of New York Times columnist Ezra Klein. During the episode, in addition to saying that he ‘wants to see trans kids’ Newsom talked about providing healthcare for illegal aliens in his state.

Ezra Klein followed up their discussion by tweeting about it, but in his tweet he says two things that completely contradict each other.

He begins by saying that Trump lies about Democrats wanting healthcare for illegals. Then he says triumphantly that Gavin Newsom is actually doing it!

Health Canada says drag performances promote science and vaccination

What began as a routine Access to Information request quickly spiralled into something stranger and more wasteful than expected.

When Health Canada was asked for all invoices tied to Public Service Pride Week 2025, their response seemed straightforward on the surface. A hundred dollars for rainbow lanyards, another hundred for intersex-inclusive progress flag sticks, a $560 charge to raise and lower a flag, and over $800 for another flag-raising ceremony.

But buried in the paperwork was something far more revealing.

Invoices show that Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions, a Carney-adjacent facilities management giant, billed taxpayers $1,550 plus HST just to raise a Pride flag on August 14. Then take it down for a Truth & Reconciliation flag on September 27. Then take it down again on October 16 — complete with new anchors and eyebolts for next year.

The revolving door of symbolic flag choreography, all at the taxpayers’ expense, was becoming clear.

Even more striking was Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada’s choice of “science outreach.” During federal service Pride Week, the agencies quietly hired a group called Science is a Drag™ — yes, that is a real trademark. According to invoices, the troupe cost taxpayers over $2,500. Their pitch? To use drag performances to promote ‘science literacy and public health.’

Health Canada’s justification reads like a government committee’s fever dream: drag “aligns with the mandates of Health Canada and PHAC by using performance as an innovative, culturally relevant way to promote science literacy.” In practice, this meant federal employees were invited to a glitter-powered show discussing mental health, STI prevention, and vaccination — delivered by cross-dressing performers in sequins and six-inch heels.

Taxpayers Asked To Fund A Hospital Takeover They’re Not Allowed To See

When Connecticut lawmakers pushed the UConn Health hospital acquisition bill through the November special session — without a public hearing — it was clear transparency was not the priority.  

Now UConn Health, the state-run hospital system preparing to spend roughly half a billion taxpayer dollars acquiring Waterbury Hospital, has taken that secrecy a step further. Under the legislation rushed through the November special session — which authorizes UConn Health not just to purchase Waterbury Hospital but potentially to acquire additional struggling hospitals in the future — the financial stakes extend far beyond a single transaction. Yet in its Certificate of Need filing, UConn has asked state regulators to seal its cost and market impact review (CMIR) — the central analysis used to evaluate how the deal would affect prices, competition, access, and the financial risks taxpayers may ultimately assume.

The legislature avoided public scrutiny when passing the legislation. UConn Health is now avoiding scrutiny on the financials themselves. 

According to its filing, UConn Health plans to invest $195 million in Waterbury Hospital over the next two years, including $13 million paid directly to Prospect Medical Holdings, the California based, bankrupt for-profit chain that allowed the hospital to deteriorate. But the upfront investment represents only a small portion of the true cost. The bulk will come from $390 million in UConn 2000 bonds, state-backed debt. Once interest is included, taxpayers will ultimately shoulder roughly $500 million. 

The financial risk is not theoretical. It falls squarely on Connecticut residents.

What a Witch: Dem Congresswoman Delivers a Cold-Hearted Response to Dying Republican Voter After He Blisters Her for Giving Medicare to Illegal Aliens 

A loathsome Democrat congresswoman delivered a textbook example of how her party cares far more about illegal alien invaders than hard-working Americans, even those who are dying.

On Thursday, Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) appeared on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal for an interview and to take questions from viewers.

A Republican voter from New York called in and let Titus know that he had been trying to get blood pressure medication under the Biden regime and was unable to do so because of illegal aliens leeching off the system.

He noted that when he went to the Medicare office, it was filled with illegal migrants coming in and out.

He then revealed that one month ago, he was rushed to the hospital and was diagnosed with kidney failure and congestive heart failure. Now, he is dying thanks to the Democrats and illegals.

After feigning sympathy, Titus went on to give a cruel, cold-hearted response that blamed him for his horrific medical situation.

She also scolded him for rightfully slamming illegals for taking advantage of America’s medical system and told him to stop blaming other people.

What a nasty person.

Check Out Rep. McBride’s Vulgar Dismissal of Massive Obamacare Fraud

Last week, a watchdog group reported on “large-scale systemic failures” that led to massive Obamacare subsidy fraud, including the use of a single Social Security number to get subsidies for more than 70 people. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) ran a test of fake applicants and found that “100% of fake applicants were approved by Obamacare’s marketplace as recently as late 2024. 90% of fake applicants continue to receive coverage in 2025.”

The report also found no mechanism for income verification, meaning millions of subsidies were going to people who aren’t poor or in need. It all spells massive waste. You would think Democrats would take that seriously, right?

Apparently not.

Rep. Tim McBride (D-DE) seems to think such studies are “bulls**t,” and said as much as he’s pushing to extend Obamacare programs.

“I don’t think the American people feel that it’s failed the American people,” McBride said. “That ‘study’…sounds like bullsh**t…sounds like a bulls**t study with a bullsh**t methodology,” he continued. “Sounds like the methodology is pretty questionable.”

When the study’s reporting was shown, McBride doubled down. “First of all, that’s not what that says, and you’ve mischaracterized what the report says. But that’s not what it says. It does not say there’s a 90 percent fraud rate.”

Despite the reporter’s push on the subject, McBride kept insisting that Obamacare is fine. “If they [Speaker Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune] want to work with us and add in measures around verification for the ACA tax credits, we’re ready to negotiate,” McBride said.

American Generosity Solving Canadian Socialized Healthcare Woes

Why should it fall to an American radio and television personality to solve the problems of Canadian socialized medicine?

One poor woman in our neighbor up north recently turned to Canada’s MAID program (medical assistance in dying, or assisted suicide) because she could not get a referral for a needed surgery, and the pain had become more than she could bear.

Over the past two days, TV and radio star Glenn Beck has been reaching out to assist Jolene Van Alstine of Saskatchewan to assist her. She needs surgery to remove her parathyroid gland. However, there’s no one available to do that in her home province of Saskatchewan. She can’t go see anyone outside of the province because, thanks to Canada’s socialized medicine, she’d need a referral by seeing an endocrinologist – and none of them are accepting new patients.

Glenn’s post linked to a woman who reposted part of an article from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). The CBC is the media company supported by the Canadian government. 

Over the next two days, crowd-sourced tips led Glenn’s team to Jolene’s contact information, as well as appropriate surgeons who were willing to take on her care.

Glenn posted on the latest installment of the saga Wednesday, when he announced that Jolene doesn’t have a passport, but his team was working to overcome this hurdle.

The unaffordable Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act—Obamacare—was passed without a single Republican vote, and since, Democrats have been doing their worst to try to convince the public Republicans are to blame for it. That’s because it was never affordable and has required untold billions to prop it up. One might blame John McCain, who was the sole Republican, Trump Derangement Syndrome, vote that prevented repeal of Obamacare.

Americans have eventually tumbled to Obamacare’s reality: the insurance is outlandishly expensive, costs far too much for miserly benefits, and is breaking the taxpayer bank. Now, in a revelation that surprises no one, it’s rife with fraud too.  

The report said insurance companies collected $94 million for people who were dead, one piece of what the Congressional Budget Office estimates to be $27 billion in annual Obamacare fraud, according to the National Pulse.

The GAO report said 58,000 Social Security numbers linked to advanced premium tax credits matched numbers in the Social Security death data. More than 7,000 individuals were found to have died before their coverage even began.

In one case, one Social Security number was used to receive 125 insurance policies covering 26,000 days — the equivalent of 71 years of coverage.

In acts of unusual competence, the GAO sent in fake applications without any of the usual documentation necessary for social security numbers, income and citizenship, and again, to no one’s surprise, were approved for Obamacare subsidies in 2024 and 2025.

The Damage Done When Doctors Refuse to Look

Pain turns life into half-steps, making people move more slowly, sleep less, and lose ground in battles they never chose. The four stories I’ve received from commenters reveal something more profound than pain; they show a pattern that repeats in every corner of the country.

People seek help and find locked doors, distracted doctors, or specialists who stop listening before the patient finishes the first sentence. These stories point to a failure that now defines American medicine. It’s a system that doesn’t just ignore chronic pain; it creates disability through neglect.

Tom spent three years losing his balance, strength, and any sense of stability in his own body. Four neurologists and three neurosurgeons ran tests, took notes, and shrugged. Nobody stepped out of their narrow lanes, and nobody asked harder questions or considered a different diagnosis.

He kept declining while they kept insisting nothing was wrong. When a doctor refuses to look, the body pays for the silence. Tom’s life shrank because medicine chose comfort over curiosity.
