As red states like Florida, Indiana and Missouri pass laws banning their state investment boards from involvement with Chinese funds, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has allowed his state’s backing of Beijing to grow. As governor of the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Walz — the Democratic vice presidential candidate — has significant authority over the selection of members of the Minnesota State Board of Investment (SBI), who are typically either elected or appointed by a comptroller or treasurer in other states. Since Walz became governor in 2019, SBI appointees have directed roughly 70% of the approximately $1.3 billion moved into Chinese...

At a recent rally in Juneau, Wisconsin, Donald Trump urged evangelical Christians to vote, saying: "I’ll tell you another one that don’t vote — I love these people — evangelical Christians.

If they did vote, we couldn’t lose an election." Trump’s concerns are echoed by a recent article in The Jerusalem Post, which cites a recent report from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian...

(Part one of an investigation into how the Harris-Walz campaign is manipulating social media sites to artificially boost their popularity, spread election disinformation, and skirt election laws.) For years, many have speculated that Democrat political candidates may be filling social media with fake posts to deceive the public and make their campaigns and causes seem more popular than they are. These claims have often been dismissed, citing that Democrat voters are already more likely to be on the internet compared to their not-as-tech-savvy Republican counterparts. This would suggest that the constant flood of left-leaning content on websites such as Reddit...

In Game 4 of the World Series, baseball fans got a moment as unforgettable as it was controversial, unfolding between Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts and a front-row Yankees fan at Yankee Stadium. In the bottom of the first inning, Gleyber Torres sent a fly ball slicing toward foul territory. Betts, ever the defensive powerhouse, sprinted to the wall, poised to make the grab. But just as he leapt for the ball, the fan reached over, grabbed Betts’ glove, and yanked the ball away. The umpire’s decision was swift: Torres was out due to fan interference, and security quickly escorted the...

CNN - Hezbollah has named Shiite cleric Naim Qassem as leader, over a month after his predecessor Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike.

Researchers have pinpointed two proteins that could serve as markers for identifying patients with long COVID. Elahi and his team discovered that the long COVID group had higher levels of immune cells called neutrophils and monocytes that cause inflammation, and fewer protective lymphocytes. In the blood of the long COVID patients, the team also found higher levels of various proteins related to systemic inflammation—especially galectin-9 and artemin. Higher levels of galectin-9 in patients are associated with increased inflammation and brain fog. In the case of artemin, higher levels are associated with widespread pain, more severe pain and cognitive impairment. They...

[Catholic Caucus] Is the New Jansenist Francis Dilexit "Sacred Heart devotion" about presumption because he does "not believe the Sacred Heart is about salvation?"In the past, Jansenists (and allegedly traditionalists today) put the emphasis on God’s justice, while discounting His mercy. Indeed, both Jansenists and traditionalists seem to think a lot of people go to hell. It all seems like a grand-slam against traditionalists.Therefore, the recent document from Rome titled Dilexit Nos purports to be about the Sacred Heart crushing Jansenism: “The promotion of Eucharistic communion on the first Friday of each month, for example, sent a powerful message at...
