An article titled "m6A RNA modification as a new player in R-loop regulation," by the Dynamic Gene Regulation research group led by Arne Klungland at IMB, was published in the January edition of Nature Genetics. Following a new collaboration between UiO and research groups in Nottingham and Oxford, it has now been revealed that RNA has a direct effect on DNA stability, according to Professor Klungland's research. He believes the discovery will provide the health service with an important tool, since many studies have shown that the regulation of modifications to RNA is important for the development of cancer.

Project Veritas strikes again. Project Veritas has released a video showing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sharing views on COVID-19 vaccines that would get him tossed off of his own platform. The leaked video comes from a Facebook internal meeting from last summer where Zuckerberg expressed his concerns about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines that are being rushed to the masses in the fog of mass hysteria. “I do just want to make sure that I share some caution on this because we just don’t know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people’s DNA and RNA,” Zuckerburg stated in a...

Joe Biden’s CNN town hall last night was an absolute dumpster fire. Anderson Cooper asked Joe Biden softball questions such as, “What it is like to live in the White House?” But despite the softball questions and Democrat plants in the audience Joe Biden managed to say one gaffe after another. At one point Biden suggested that Blacks and Hispanics who live in the inner cities are too stupid to figure out how to get online. Whose idea was it to allow Joe Biden to speak without his teleprompter? WATCH: .@JoeBiden suggests many minorities just aren’t smart enough to “get...

While all eyes have been on Sheila Jackson Lee‘s big licensing and registration bill, fellow Congresscritter Carolyn B. Maloney [D-NY] is taking advantage of the various distractions on Capitol Hill to enter five ambitious civilian disarmament bills of her own. While Lee’s legislation is patently absurd — and probably intended to be so — Maloney has taken a more targeted approach. Here are a few highlights . . . Listed in comments:

A New York City public school sent out a graphic to parents encouraging them to become “white traitors” and “white abolitionists.” According to Christopher Rufo, a writer at City Journal dedicated to covering “critical race theory,” the principal of East Side Community School in New York sent out a graphic detailing the eight types of “whiteness.” The graphic shows a scale of “white identities” ranging from good to bad. Good is considered being a “white abolitionist” and bad is considered being a “white supremacist.” “There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white identities,” the graphic reads. “People...

Between 2014 and 2020, the number of children reported being exploited and sold by sex traffickers in France increased by 600 per cent, according to the country’s human trafficking agency. The French Central Office for the Suppression of Human Trafficking (OCRTEH) revealed that the number of minors reported as being exploited as child prostitutes was 28 in 2014, but the number rose to 198 in 2020, representing a 600 per cent increase in just six years.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday said coal and natural gas – NOT frozen wind turbines – caused the power grid failure in this week’s Texas cold snap. Texas got hit with a rare cold snap that spanned to the southern part of the state and the power grids gave out. .... Snip.... Millions of Texans suffered blackouts partly due to the frozen wind turbines. Psaki said reports suggesting renewables caused the power grid failure in Texas are inaccurate, rather it was renewables that came in to save the day. “Numerous reports show that it was failure in...

Rush Limbaugh was one of the greatest figures of the last half-century and he could personally take credit for millions of people becoming conservative. He was a legend, an icon and he will be missed. In honor of a great man, here are Rush’s 20 greatest quotes. 20) “The liberals, you see, do not want to confront conservative ideas; they just attack conservatives as a group, and particularly their motives. If you believe what they say about us, you would think that if someone like Bill Bennett, or Jack Kemp, or myself were driving through South Central Los Angeles and...

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has blasted America's mainstream media and says it has sunk to a new low with its 'disgusting, corrupting love affair' with President Joe Biden. Carlson also criticized the media's positive take on Biden's relationship with his wife Jill and the lack of coverage regarding first son Hunter Biden's sex scandals and history of drug problems. The host opened his show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Tuesday with the argument that the mainstream media was 'our most corrupt institution' and accused the journalists working at those outlets of telling 'outlandish' lies every day.

CNN has allegedly reinstated a ban on host Chris Cuomo interviewing his brother, Andrew, despite allowing the New York governor to appear on his show more than ten times last year. The network was questioned by the Washington Post on Tuesday after Chris, 50, failed to mention his 63-yar-old brother while addressing the biggest stories related to COVID-19 on his show the previous night. The host's silence came just hours after the governor had finally addressed in a press conference the latest scandal surrounding his handling of the data involving COVID-19 deaths in the state's nursing homes.

President Macron of France has now warned his countrymen of the menace of American academic and media “woke” thinking and of identity politics as a formula for social oppression and disunity. France is officially focused entirely on the integration of its entire population into a cosmopolitan French whole, and in a peculiar arc of alliance between nationalist academics, intellectuals, and conservative politicians, all are warning against the importation of what they regard as degenerate and self-destructive American academic faddishness. France has been warned by its leaders from Right to Left to beware of what is effectively referred to as the...

On Wednesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took a swipe at Texas political leaders, propounding that the suffering Texans are experiencing because of the freezing cold and concomitant power outages could have been addressed by her “Green New Deal.” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “The infrastructure failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don’t* pursue a Green New Deal. Weak on sweeping next-gen public infrastructure investments, little focus on equity so communities are left behind, climate deniers in leadership so they don’t long prep for disaster. We need to help people *now.* Long-term we must realize these are the consequences of...

I’m sure by now that you’ve heard of the awful, historic snow and ice storms experienced in the state of Texas over the past few days. The issues that have arisen as a result of the storm bring into light a number of extremely concerning issues around the push for “green energy” that you hear Democrats talk about incessantly. According to the Washington Examiner, former Energy Secretary under President Donald Trump and former Texas governor, Mr. Rick Perry, issued a dire warning about green energy after the catastrophe in Texas this week. “They don’t care about your lives in those...

A group of Californians who've had enough of Gov. Gavin Newsom say they have the 1.5 million signatures needed to force a recall election, and believe they will eventually have 2 million. But, we probably won't know until after the March 17 submission deadline if there are enough valid signatures. For Newsom, the waiting must be uncomfortable. But give him credit. He's not resting under quarantine. He's launched a "permanent campaign," a strategy developed by Pat Caddell, the political adviser who told President-elect Jimmy Carter that "governing with public approval requires" elected officials to perpetually be running for office. Longtime...

On this date in 1524, the French aristocrat Jean de Poitiers, Seigneur de Saint Vallier lay his head on a chopping-block. He kept it there for a full hour, but the headsman never swung the blade — and Jean de Poitiers walked away with a royal clemency. This lucky Seigneur had been caught up in an English- and Habsburg-backed plot by the Constable of France to break off a chunk of France. (Said Constable fled to Charles V.) Jean de Poitiers skated on noblesse oblige and lesser culpability, but there’s a scurrilous story that he was heard thanking God as...
