Federal Civil Rights Complaint Accuses Cleveland Clinic Of Racial Discrimination
The complaint, which alleges the Cleveland Clinic excludes white patients in favor of minorities, may trigger a federal investigation.
Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin was discharged from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Pentagon.
"He is recovering well and resumed his full functions and duties today at 5 pm," the press release noted. "On the advice of his doctors, Secretary Austin will recuperate and perform his duties remotely from home for a period before returning to work at the Pentagon later this week. He has full access to the unclassified and classified communications systems necessary to perform his duties."
Austin underwent a prostatectomy in December due to cancer but wound up back at Walter Reed for awhile in January before getting released later the same month.
But he was admitted again on Sunday.
"Secretary Austin was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Feb. 11 with discomfort and concern from a bladder issue related to his December 2023 prostate cancer surgery. His condition indicated a need for close monitoring by the critical care team and supportive care. His diagnostic evaluation identified the cause of his bladder issue and it was corrected with non-surgical procedures on Feb. 12," Dr. John Maddox and Dr. Gregory Chesnut noted in a statement included in the Pentagon press release.
"He remained in good condition throughout and no longer needed critical care monitoring on the morning of Feb. 13. He progressed well and was discharged to his home today. He is anticipated to continue his full recovery. The bladder issue was not related to his cancer diagnosis and will have no effect on his excellent cancer prognosis."

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said in a statement on Tuesday that his wife had been hospitalized after a car accident on Monday.
Gayle Conelly Manchin is federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission, a position to which she was nominated by President Joe Biden.
"On Monday, my wife Gayle and her colleague Guy Land were involved in a car accident on the way from the airport to the hotel in Birmingham, Alabama for an Appalachian Regional Commission event that was planned for today. Both were admitted to UAB Hospital and are receiving excellent care. She remains in stable condition but will stay there for a couple of days for precautionary measures. We want to thank the first responders who answered the call and were first on-site to provide assistance and support," Sen. Joe Manchin said in a statement.
The senator and his wife have been married for more than 50 years.
Manchin, whose term ends in early 2025, announced last year that he would not seek re-election.
The lawmaker has said that he thinks President Joe Biden has veered too far left.
Manchin has also sounded the alarm about America's ever-expanding national debt.
"The national debt is the greatest threat our country faces — and we are rapidly approaching the crisis point," Manchin, GOP Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.), and Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.) declared in a recent opinion piece. "There is growing appetite on both sides of the aisle to address our national debt. It is time for Congress to put the interests of the country ahead of political expediency and get us on sound fiscal footing before it is too late."

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa is getting antibiotic infusions to address an infection, his office noted in a Tuesday statement.
"Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is receiving antibiotic infusions at an area hospital to treat an infection. He is in good spirits and will return to work as soon as possible following doctors' orders," the statement read.
Last year, the lawmaker underwent hip surgery.
Grassley, 90, is the oldest individual currently serving in the U.S. Senate, and has been in office for more than four decades. He won re-election in 2022, and will be 95 by the end of his current term.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who was slightly older than Grassley, passed away last year at the age of 90.
"@ChuckGrassley is tough as nails and I'm glad to hear he is in good spirits and receiving care. Get well soon, Chuck. We'll have the @DairyQueen ready when you get back to the Senate!" Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said in a tweet.

"Christie and I have great respect for Iowa Senator @ChuckGrassley and his loving wife, Barbara. Senator Grassley will be in our prayers as he receives medical treatment this week. We wish him a speedy recovery," GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma said in a tweet.
"Praying for a speedy recovery for Senator Grassley. I know he will be back at work for Iowans in no time!" GOP Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa tweeted.

Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin was released from the hospital on Monday, according to the Pentagon.
Austin had been admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on January 1 due to complications after a December prostatectomy performed due to cancer.
President Joe Biden was informed of Austin's hospitalization on January 4, NSC coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby said last week. Kirby also said that Biden was informed about the cancer on January 9.
"Secretary Austin progressed well throughout his stay and his strength is rebounding," Trauma medical director Dr. John Maddox and Dr. Gregory Chesnut, director of the Center for Prostate Disease Research at the Murtha Cancer Center at Walter Reed, said in a statement. "He underwent a series of medical tests and evaluations and received non-surgical care during his stay to address his medical needs, to include resolving some lingering leg pains. He was discharged home with planned physical therapy and regular follow up. The Secretary is expected to make a full recovery."
Austin said in a statement, "I'm grateful for the excellent care I received at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and want to thank the outstanding doctors and nursing staff for their professionalism and superb support. I also am thankful and appreciative for all the well wishes I received for a speedy recovery. Now, as I continue to recuperate and perform my duties from home, I'm eager to fully recover and return as quickly as possible to the Pentagon."

VAERS chart shows a shocking result of COVID vaccines
For the longest time, anyone – including medical professionals and scientists – who dared to challenge the effectiveness of the COVID vaccine was censored, silenced, and banished to the realm of crazy anti-vaxxers.
However, now the tides are turning as more and more evidence surfaces about the reality of the rapidly developed COVID vaccine. The same companies that once shoved the vaccine down our throats, swearing that it was 100% safe and effective, are now backtracking.
“Last week we talked about the Pfizer scientists admitting the heart disease coming from the vaccine. This week the biggest study so far ever done on the global safety of the vaccine has just been released, and [the CDC] too is now admitting to severe illness, death, and lingering long symptoms,” says Pat Gray.
No longer can these companies deny that the vaccine is “causing problems neurologically … blood problems, and heart-related conditions.”
“I've got a chart here that's going to blow your mind, Pat,” says Keith Malinak before displaying the following data from VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), managed by the CDC and the FDA.
“These are VAERS’ reported deaths by vaccine between the years 1988 and 2021 … over thirty years of data,” says Keith. “All of the deaths from vaccines (not the COVID one) are on the left,” while the COVID vaccine “accounts for half the deaths” even though by 2021, it had only been in circulation for one year.
What’s perhaps most upsetting is that despite this data, the CDC continues to tell people “to go get it,” says Pat.
