Happy Saturday! On this date in 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward reached an agreement to purchase Alaska from Russia for $7 million, or roughly two cents an acre. News of the purchase wasn’t well received by Congress or the press. Seward and President Johnson were ridiculed with terms like “Seward’s Folly,” “Seward’s icebox,” and Johnson’s “polar bear garden.”

Protestors Disrupt Biden Fundraiser

Pro-Palestinian protesters chanted obscenities and other slogans outside a New York City fundraiser for President Biden attended by former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Inside the event, protestors displeased with Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza interrupted the proceedings several times. Obama addressed the crowd directly by saying, “You can’t just talk and not listen. That’s what the other side does.”

Clinton also spoke to the protestors, saying Biden cared about the Palestinians and a two-state solution. The protests continued.

The event was reportedly attended by more than 5,000 individuals and raised an estimated $26 million.

Baltimore Bridge Clean-Up Underway

A request by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore for $60 million in federal aid was quickly approved as efforts began to clear the wreckage of the deadly Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers moved the largest crane on the Eastern Seaboard, capable of lifting 1,000 tons, into the area Friday and began clearing the channel. A second crane could arrive today. Aerial footage of the 1,000-ton crane working can be seen here.

The Coast Guard was able to recover the “black box” from the Dali, the 984-foot cargo ship that struck the bridge, and the recording indicated the ship lost power and the captain tried to alert the authorities.

Officials estimate it could take more than a month to clear the channel.

Louis Gossett Jr. Dies at 87

Louis Gossett Jr., the first African-American to win the Oscar for best supporting actor, has died. He was 87.

Gossett owed his acting career to an injury that kept him off his high school basketball team. Unable to play, he tried acting and excelled. In 1953, while still in high school, he made his Broadway debut.

In a career that spanned decades, Gossett portrayed numerous memorable roles. He appeared in “Raisin in the Sun,” “Roots,” and “An Officer and a Gentleman,” the role that won him the Oscar.

“An Officer and a Gentleman” co-star Richard Gere said Gossett was an impressive actor “with a heart of gold.”

If you are using Ozempic, know someone who does or is considering… you need to read this to the very bottom.

This is GREED in the purest form

Ozempic is taking the world by storm for its ability to lower blood sugar and help with weight loss.

But, it’s expensive and comes with terrible side effects.

Which leads me to this BOMBSHELL

This all comes after a whistleblower testimony

During Ozempic testing, it was discovered that a natural alternative had the SAME powerful effects without side effects.

… And it could be produced at 1/10th the cost.

This was research that was SUPPOSED to be reported to the general public.

But, it wasn’t…

It was buried, much like the addiction rate during the opioid epidemic.

Why? Simply to protect billions in profit.

… And that is why I am writing you today

>>> Here is an UNCENSORED report about a natural alkaloid that has “drug-like” blood sugar & fat loss success without side effects.
