The Democrat mayor of a community with many Arab-Americans in Wayne County, Michigan, who helped lead the uncommitted movement in the Democrat primary, told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday that his meeting with former President Donald Trump last week “was very productive” and well received by the community, which traditionally votes Democrat. Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib (D) spoke with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle in a nearly 20-minute segment on the program on the heels of his meeting with Trump in Flint, Michigan. Hamtramck, along with Dearborn and other cities in Wayne County, have sizable Muslim and Arab-American...

In LibreOffice Calc, if I have two fields I wish to compare to within a plus-minus value, and then if the spread between the two numbers is too great, both will, say, flash red, how do I do that?

A Ukrainian kamikaze drone strike reportedly struck Vladimir Putin's Satan-2 nuclear missile, prompting an apocalyptic explosion yesterday morning. A secret ammunition silo facility at Toropets in Tver region that housed one of the Russian President's nuke missiles was hit by Ukrainian drone, it was claimed yesterday. It allegedly happened just ten miles from an 'indestructible' 30,000 ton munitions storage site that had been obliterated on Wednesday. A huge explosion was triggered when the 'Satan-2' missile was hit, causing locals to panic over fears of a Doomsday detonation. The claim that the missile was destroyed came from a Russian Telegram channel...

When I was younger, especially from high school through my early days as a non-Catholic Christian pastor, I had this strong sense that if a person always did what was right, “things would work out.” That is to say, righteousness was the path to the good life. God would pave the way in front of the person that does his will. There is some truth to that, of course. A great deal of interior and exterior suffering is cause by our wicked and selfish choices. When I used to work as an urban missionary, occasionally I would have the chance...

There were idols for me to put away...

A clinical trial has demonstrated that the cancer drug pomalidomide is safe and effective in treating hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a rare bleeding disorder that impacts more than one in 5,000 people. The trial was stopped early because of these successful findings. HHT is a condition in which blood vessels become unusually tangled and twisted. This can lead to excessive nosebleeds that hallmark the disease. HHT also causes bleeding in the digestive tract and can produce serious complications in the lungs, liver and brain. Bleeding episodes worsen with age. There are no FDA-approved medications for long-term management of HHT. Dr....

Can Harris fix America's deteriorating fiscal health? Vice President Kamala Harris has proposed approximately $5 trillion in tax hikes over the next ten years, targeting wealthy Americans and rich corporations. For a federal government forecast to register $2 trillion in budget deficits during the same span, could this be the revenue boost needed to fix America’s deteriorating fiscal health? The projections show her policies are not even close to plugging the federal budget’s gaping hole.Kamala’s Tax Hikes – A Primer The public has heard the same song-and-dance routine for the last 20 years: Washington must make the affluent pay their...

They spoke no Spanish, while their migrant students spoke no English. Chicago has a $9.9 billion budget. Its teachers’ unions, who control the city and have one of their own in the mayor’s office, get everything from free abortions to weight loss surgeries, to $145,000 salaries even though their students know absolutely nothing. In math, 19% of Chicago third through eighth graders were proficient on the IAR’s 2024 test, a 2 percentage point increase from the previous school year. During the spring of 2023, 17% of elementary school students were proficient in math, but in the spring of 2019, 24%...

Researchers have discovered that food antigens like milk proteins help keep tumors from growing in the small intestines. Food antigens are the source of allergic reactions to foods. Ohno previously reported that food antigens activate immune cells in the small intestines, but not the large intestines. In the new study, researchers tested whether food antigens suppress tumors in the small intestines. The team began with a special kind of mouse. The mice develop tumors throughout the small and large intestines. The first experiment was fairly simple. They fed these mice normal food or antigen-free food and found that the ones...

A very curious image has been making the rounds on social media for a few days now and it’s raising some serious questions about who is really in charge of the country right now. It’s a picture of one of Joe Biden’s official legislation folders and it includes not only Joe Biden’s signature, but also Jill Biden’s. Why does her signature appear here? No one elected her to anything. Just this week, people across the country were shocked to see Jill Biden sitting at the head of the table at a Joe Biden cabinet meeting, now this.

This result contradicts previous claims made regarding a statistically significant decline of the Florida Current at 27°N, and subsequently reduces the negative trend (i.e., the weakening) previously observed in the AMOC time series at 26.5°N. Several previous studies that showed a slowing of the Florida Current were based on data from the cable prior to the correction....If climate models are correct and the AMOC is slowing or will slow down, this study indicates that such a slowdown has not yet been reflected in the Florida Current, or that the observational records are still too short to detect it with confidence.

Tim Walz just inadvertently created a new ad for the Trump campaign. While speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania, Walz declared “We can’t afford four more years of this!” Walz was apparently talking about guns and gun violence, but that really doesn’t matter because his words match perfectly with concerns about Harris, Walz, the Democrats, and what they have done to the economy with inflation. Mediaite reports: ‘We Agree!’ Conservatives Roast Tim Walz Saying ‘We Can’t Afford Four More Years of This’ At PA Rally Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz was pilloried by many on the right Saturday after...

A Democratic darling and top fundraiser who had President Biden preside over his nuptials has dished out tens of thousands of dollars to Kamala Harris and other candidates — while the IRS was coming after him for millions in unpaid taxes, The Post has learned. Henry Muñoz, the finance chairman emeritus of the Democratic National Committee, had a whopping $3,497,319 federal income tax lien placed against him in April 2023, IRS records show, along with a $152,411.46 business tax warrant in his home state of Texas.That hasn’t stopped Muñoz, 64, from splashing out out six figures to his fellow Democrats...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Palestinian American U.S. lawmaker Rashida Tlaib on Friday condemned as racist a cartoon published in the conservative magazine National Review showing her with an exploding pager - a reference to an attack this week against members of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. "Our community is already in so much pain right now. This racism will incite more hate + violence against our Arab & Muslim communities, and it makes everyone less safe. It's disgraceful that the media continues to normalize this racism," Tlaib wrote on the social media platform X. Tlaib, a Democrat who represents...

Pittsburgh’s transformation from Rust Belt phoenix to progressive tech stronghold was supposed to be the Democrats’ long-term ace in the hole for Pennsylvania. Instead, hubris might just hand the Keystone State to the GOP in 2024. As Allegheny County limps toward another election cycle, Republicans are eyeing an opportunity born not of their own strength, but of Democratic complacency and voter disillusionment.The numbers paint a grim picture. Allegheny County hemorrhaged nearly 7,800 residents last year alone, placing it in the top 10 for population loss nationwide. Even more alarming, the county has shed 50,000 jobs in the past five years...
