Noah here, and I am SO excited to show you this! One of the things I hate most in life are scammers…. Low-life, dirty scammers that steal from good people and often cheat people out of their hard-earned money, sometimes even their whole life savings! I hate it with a passion which is why over the years I’ve warned you any time I saw scams online to pop up. Like this one: HEADS UP: Please Do Not Get Conned By The “TRB Checks” And this one: Don’t Let This Happen To You — READ THIS NOW Over time, people even started to email me to ask if something was a scam before they fell for it. Like this email: It’s something I’m really proud of, that I’ve been able to help some amount of people not get conned out of their hard-earned money.  I may never know just how many people I saved, but even one is worth it!  Even one means I saved someone’s life from being destroyed, which is really cool. With all of that as background, I’m now so excited to announce my newest creation. I’ve been working on this for weeks and I can now finally make it live and tell you about it. I’ve had this in the back of my mind for a long time, and I was finally able to actually build it. Here’s the idea….what if instead of writing a new article every time I found a new scam (that’s like playing Whack-a-Mole!) what if I could build a program that would help you DETECT and BLOCK scams before they could get you? And that’s exactly what I built! Introducing….Scam Shield, by Noah! After all, scams are not slowing doing, they’re only getting more sophisticated and scaling up bigger than ever. Last year, the FBI reports cybercrime losses hit $16.6 billion, which is a 33% increase in just one year. I know I can’t stop them all, but I’m here to put a pretty big dent in those stats and stop as many scams as I can before they run off with YOUR money! It’s pretty simple…you just go to MyScamShield.com and you can sign up and get instant access. I built this thing to be really simple (but really powerful) to use! Mark Twain once famously said: “If you’d given me more time, I would have written a shorter speech!” The meaning behind that famous quip is that it’s pretty easy to make something hard and complex….the true beauty comes in making something simple and easy to use. And while I might be a little biased, I think that’s exactly what I’ve done here. You DO NOT have to be a “techie” person to use this….in fact, it’s built specifically for non-techie people. There’s a ton of things you can do with Scam Shield, but I built it around three core functions: If you receive a suspicious email or text message or even voicemail, you can run it through the system and it will tell give you a full assessment on whether it’s safe or not safe.  The report it gives you is pretty incredible — if I do say so myself! If you think you’ve already made a mistake, it can jump in and immediately coach you on what to do next.  You’ll even get paired up with a live expert you can chat with and get customized help.  Because just taking a moment to calm down and talk with someone can mean the world when panic sets in. I built a feature that can blast out an immediate warning to any friends/family you want to notify them you might have clicked on something bad and they shouldn’t trust any messages from you. They’re all awesome to use, but the first one (the message checker) is pretty incredible. You can copy and paste the message in or you can just upload a screenshot of the message and it immediately goes to work running a full analysis. It looks like this while it’s working and you usually have the full results back in one or two minutes max: There’s nothing fun about being the target of a scam, but honestly using this is kind of fun and addicting! As I was building and testing this software, I was having a blast running this checker and seeing if I could fool it (I never did). There’s a bunch more in here I could tell you about but just go take a look yourself here: https://www.MyScamShield.com As always, my number one goal around here is to provide you with excessive value! I’ve done that for 11+ years now and counting, delivering the news for FREE! We have never added a paywall to our reporting and we never will. All my Email Newsletters, websites, podcasts and everything else we do around here is provided free, and that’s something I am really proud of. Scam Shield does have a fee to purchase it, but that’s because it costs me money to run this software and to power all the “‘scam checks” each time they run, and to pay for things like live chatting with an expert. But I wanted to get it as close to free as I could while still covering the lights on, so it’s only $47 if you want to grab it. Why $47? I mean, it’s a pretty good number I think! I am a big fan of 45 and 47, how about you?

Right now the same people who got rich selling opioid pills are counting on you not knowing what’s in this article. They built a system designed to keep you coming back, not get better. And it’s worked – on almost everyone. Acute pain – back strain, neck spasms, sprains – isn’t one problem. It’s four. Inflammation. Muscle spasm. Gut damage from the drugs you take for it. And fatigue from the muscle relaxants trying to fix it. Every single-ingredient pill on the market addresses one of those. The other three keep the pain running. That’s not incompetence. That’s a business model. RelieveRx is what happens when physicians who publicly stood against the medical establishment when it cost them something build a pain formula from scratch. Four compounds. Every problem addressed. No opioids. No dependency. No fog. Here’s exactly what’s in it and why it works: – Naproxen at 300mg – kills inflammation at the source. Up to 12 hours. That’s the fire out, not muffled. – Methocarbamol at 300mg – breaks the spasm. The muscle contraction that locks you down long after the injury starts healing. Most pain protocols never touch this. It’s why most people stay stuck. – Famotidine at 10mg – protects your gut from the Naproxen itself. The formula solves the problem its own ingredients would otherwise create. – Caffeine at 60mg – accelerates the whole stack and counteracts the drowsiness from the muscle relaxant. Faster relief. You stay sharp. Four problems. Four solutions. One prescription. A pain clinic charges $150 to $350 just to walk through the door. RelieveRx is less and includes the consultation in the price. A licensed provider reviews your intake and calls you. If approved, your prescription ships from a licensed U.S. pharmacy to your door. Three steps: Order. Fill out a brief medical intake form. Wait for your provider to call. No waiting room. No referral. No being told to come back in six weeks. On a subscription, your provider checks in every two months – adjusting your care, answering questions, making sure it’s working. That’s more follow-up than most Americans get from their primary care doctor in a year. You’ve been managing pain your whole life. You haven’t had the right tool until now.

Former President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak next week at a Napa Valley event for corporate CEOs hosted by Consello, the advisory firm founded and run by Declan Kelly. The booking has drawn sharp criticism because Kelly resigned in disgrace from his previous company, Teneo, in 2021 after reports that he got drunk at a charity concert afterparty and engaged in non-consensual touching of multiple women. The story was broken by Politico’s Daniel Lippman, who noted that Kelly faced a scandal five years ago after the Financial Times reported his conduct at the event. SCOOP: Former President Obama is speaking next week at an event hosted by the firm run by consultant Declan Kelly, who faced a scandal in 2021 after the FT reported that he got drunk and engaged in “non-consensual touching of a number of women” at a party. https://t.co/TlvygEEirt pic.twitter.com/qADYLYP4fU — Daniel Lippman (@dlippman) May 8, 2026 Former employees of Kelly’s firms were not shy about their reaction. Politico laid out the current speaking engagement and the criticism surrounding it: Former President Barack Obama is slated to speak next week at a Napa Valley event for an audience of CEOs brought together by Declan Kelly and Consello. Kelly is the former Teneo chairman and CEO who left that company after the 2021 scandal tied to a high-powered charity event. He now leads Consello, the firm hosting the Obama appearance. The criticism is coming from people who remember the old Teneo scandal. A female former employee called Obama’s decision “disgusting,” according to the report. Another former Teneo employee argued that President Obama should not be helping rehabilitate Kelly’s reputation or accepting money from someone accused of groping multiple people at a charity event. That is the political problem for Obama: this is not a random booking with no history attached. It is a corporate speaking engagement attached to a Democratic insider whose prior scandal was already public. The audience, the setting, and the organizer all make the appearance a reputational choice, not merely a routine speech from an ex-president on stage. Kelly’s background is deeply intertwined with Democratic power. He served as special economic envoy to Northern Ireland under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the Obama administration from 2009 to 2011, and he advised Clinton during her 2008 presidential campaign. Teneo, the firm he co-founded with Doug Band, a former aide to Bill Clinton, was one of the most connected advisory shops in Democratic politics. The 2021 incident that ended Kelly’s run at Teneo took place at a VIP party following the Global Citizen Vax Live concert, a high-profile broadcast event celebrating COVID-19 vaccines. The party itself was attended by major celebrities and political figures. Page Six reported the details in June 2021: Declan Kelly, then CEO of Teneo, was kicked off the Global Citizen board after he allegedly got drunk and acted inappropriately with a number of women at the VIP afterparty following the Vax Live concert. The event itself was a celebrity-heavy COVID vaccine broadcast connected to Global Citizen. The VIP party came after that event, and the allegations against Kelly surfaced quickly afterward. One source said Kelly acted inappropriately with as many as six women at the party, in front of other guests. The Financial Times account cited in the Page Six report described the conduct as non-consensual touching involving a number of women. A spokesperson for Kelly said he drank too much, offended people, apologized, and offered his resignation to Global Citizen. Page Six also reported that Global Citizen removed Kelly from its board, returned Teneo’s philanthropic contribution, and ended the sponsorship deal with the firm. The fallout was swift and corporate. CNBC reported that Kelly resigned as Teneo CEO just days after General Motors severed its ties with the firm over his conduct: Kelly’s resignation came weeks after he stepped down from the board of Global Citizen and days after General Motors cut its relationship with Teneo because of the allegations. CNBC described Teneo as a major public relations and advisory firm with around 1,200 employees and noted that General Motors had been a client. Kelly had also served as chairman of Teneo before leaving the company. The political ties are part of why the Obama booking is drawing attention now. CNBC reported that Kelly previously served as special economic envoy to Northern Ireland from 2009 through 2011 under Secretary Hillary Clinton during the Obama administration. He also advised Clinton during her 2008 presidential campaign. Teneo was co-founded by Doug Band, a former aide to President Bill Clinton, making Kelly’s old company and career deeply connected to Democratic power circles long before the Consello event. After leaving Teneo, Kelly founded Consello, the firm now hosting the Obama event in Napa Valley. The audience will reportedly consist of corporate CEOs assembled by Kelly’s new operation. Obama has been doing paid speaking gigs at corporate events, with no one tracking it. Here he talks to an audience of CEOs for the lobbying/pr firm Consello. He’s the former President and this is how he chooses to spend his time? He doesn’t need the money. Just sad. https://t.co/VKGaen8Bza — Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) May 8, 2026 Matt Stoller’s observation cuts to something real. A former president of the United States lending his name and presence to a room organized by a man who left his last company over allegations of drunkenly groping women at a charity event is a choice, not a necessity. Obama Slammed for ‘Disgusting’ Decision to Speak at Event Organized by Man with Troubling Past READ: https://t.co/UO5Hl3Gpuf pic.twitter.com/xoMVWvcjir — The Gateway Pundit (@gatewaypundit) May 9, 2026 This is the same Barack Obama who built his political brand on being a champion of women, a voice against harassment, and a moral authority within the Democratic Party. He released a statement during the #MeToo movement calling it a cultural turning point. He publicly praised women who came forward with their stories of being mistreated by powerful men. Now he is reportedly collecting a speaking fee to address a room full of executives assembled by a man whose own former employees say he should not be anywhere near. The hypocrisy is not subtle. It is the kind of thing that reminds ordinary Americans that the rules the elite class preaches are meant for everyone except the people in the room.

A Utah judge has ruled that cameras will stay in the courtroom for the trial of Tyler Robinson, the man charged with killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk. State District Judge Tony Graf issued the decision Friday afternoon, denying a defense motion that sought a blanket ban on all electronic media coverage. Robinson’s attorneys argued that cameras and live broadcasts would poison the jury pool and turn proceedings into a spectacle. The judge disagreed. The ruling is a significant win for transparency in one of the most closely watched criminal cases in recent memory.

The White House reportedly has approved a plan for FDA Commissioner Marty Makary to leave the Trump administration. However, it’s important to note that Trump has not formally dismissed Makary, and the decision is not final. Exclusive: President Trump has signed off on a plan to fire FDA Commissioner Marty Makary after clashes with the regulator over vaping, abortion and drug policy https://t.co/JLyVxhv7WM — The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) May 8, 2026 POLITICO shared further: In recent months, Makary alienated key constituencies within and outside the administration as he spent significant capital on a push to bring back former top vaccine regulator Vinay Prasad, resisted flavored vape authorizations sought by some Trump allies and frustrated anti-abortion Republicans who wanted him to move more aggressively to restrict access to the abortion pill mifepristone. Makary has also alienated some rare-disease drugmakers who have complained that the agency was inconsistent in its reviews of their medicines. It is not clear when Makary will depart or who will replace him. He was still FDA commissioner as of early Friday afternoon. The Wall Street Journal first reported the plan by the Trump administration to remove him as FDA leader. Administration officials often caution that plans can always change if Trump changes his mind. Still, some of the Johns Hopkins surgeon’s priorities could live on. Makary’s National Priority Review Voucher program — which itself drew outside criticism for the involvement of political leadership — has given numerous medications the promise of priority review and could remain a tool for an administration eager to appear an ally of rare disease patients. CNN noted that Makary’s potential ouster as FDA head would create another top HHS position without a permanent holder. “The White House is considering naming FDA Deputy Commissioner Kyle Diamantas, who heads up the agency’s food group, as acting commissioner of the agency to replace current head Marty Makary,” Reuters wrote. The White House is considering naming FDA Deputy Commissioner Kyle Diamantas, who heads up the agency's food group, as acting commissioner of the agency to replace current head Marty Makary, according to three sources familiar with the matter. https://t.co/LPQpOBfuKo — Reuters Legal (@ReutersLegal) May 8, 2026 CNN has more: The department already lacks a permanent director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a surgeon general. The FDA is also still without a top vaccine regulator following the recent departure of Dr. Vinay Prasad, a close Makary ally who faced separate criticism over his leadership and vaccine policy decisions. In a sign of turbulence within HHS, one of the complicating factors in the plan to dismiss Makary on Friday remained deciding who would replace him atop the FDA, people familiar with the situation said. Makary, a surgeon and author, had pledged to accelerate FDA decisions on drugs, devices and vaccines following his confirmation last March. But he frequently found himself mired in controversy over the subsequent year — criticized by both pharmaceutical companies unhappy with his management of the drug approval process and administration officials who questioned his handling of other areas of FDA’s sweeping portfolio, including tobacco regulation. In a recent flashpoint that renewed talk among Trump and his advisers about firing Makary, the FDA chief resisted internal efforts to approve the sale of fruit-flavored e-cigarettes. The issue prompted an angry Trump to directly press Makary over the vapes decisions, two people familiar with the episode said. The FDA subsequently reversed course on flavored e-cigarettes this week.
