The not-so-great news: Scientists now believe that one in five Americans over age 65 experiences some form of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which may affect memory, decision-making, or reasoning skills. In many cases, MCI advances into more severe forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The good news: Mounting scientific evidence proves that a lot of our risk for any form of cognitive impairment is in our own hands. Our lifestyle choices each and every day (including these 13 healthy habits) can drastically increase or decrease the likelihood that we'll be diagnosed with dementia.Research just published in the Frontiers in Endocrinology...

Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Trump, called on Americans living at the southern border to "arm up and get guns and be ready" in response to the influx of migrants arriving at the U.S. border. "I don't know what you tell the people that live at the southern border. I guess they better arm up and get guns and be ready, and maybe they're gonna have to take matters into their own hands," she said during an appearance on Fox's "Justice with Judge Jeanine" on Saturday.

Brexit leader Nigel Farage has had harsh words for England’s national football (soccer) team taking the knee for the Black Lives Matter movement during the belated UEFA European Football Championship 2020. “Look, you cannot separate taking the knee from the Black Lives Matter movement,” said Mr Farage during an interview . “It is an avowedly, openly Marxist organisation that wants to defund the police and wants to bring down the whole of Western civilisation — don’t take my word for it, just read the website — and you can’t separate the two,” explained the former UKIP and Reform UK party...

A brazen shoplifter was caught on video stuffing items into a garbage bag inside a San Francisco Walgreens and then pedaling off on his bike — in front of a security guard who simply recorded the theft on his phone. The shocking footage, posted on Twitter by KGO-TV reporter Lyanne Melendez, shows the unidentified thief filling up on stolen goods as two people — one apparently a security guard — stand in the aisle with their phones out. The crook then hops on his bike and pedals past the pair, with the guard making a failed attempt to grab the...

Imagine a Republican president exhibiting the same confused behavior that Joe Biden did during the G-7. A wandering, bewildered, unsteady-on-his-feet Biden, having to be led away by Dr. Jill. And later, a befuddled Biden "correcting" Boris Johnson over his supposed failure to introduce the president of South Africa—when only moments before Johnson had done just that. The liberal media would be painting the portrait of a badly diminished president. An endless stream of "experts" would be brought on to solemnly expound on the 25th Amendment, and the procedures and political possibilities for removing a president manifestly unfit to perform his...

[Catholic Caucus] Cordileone Won’t Do It For the Sake of "Unity"CrisisMagazine.com editor Eric Sammons asked “conservative” San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone on May 21 why he doesn't deny Communion to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 81, a leading promotor of abortion who lives in his Archdiocese.Cordileone replied that after nine years at the helm of the Archdiocese he is “not at that point yet” because he is still in early stages of discerning what would be best for the Church in “preserving unity.”He argues that Pelosi has “done good” but admitted that this does not justify perpetrating very evil deeds.

Rand Paul, the outspoken Republican senator from Kentucky, certainly has controversial points of view on wearing masks, the 2020 election results and government shut downs. But Paul, who has served in the Senate for more than a decade, also serves as the ranking minority member of the Senate's Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee. An ophthalmologist, Paul sits on this committee not only because he has a background in running a small business (he worked in two small medical practices before running his own in Bowling Green, Kentucky), but also because he passionately believes that our country's small businesses are at...

In a story June 14, 2021, about Joe Biden and Pope Francis, the Catholic News Agency, based on information provided by a source, erroneously reported that the U.S. President would meet with the pope on June 15. According to Vatican sources June 15, there is no meeting currently scheduled between Pope Francis and President Joe Biden. (snip) The President’s entourage had originally requested for Biden to attend Mass with the pope early in the morning, but the proposal was nixed by the Vatican after considering the impact that Biden receiving Holy Communion from the pope would have on the discussions...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a cryptic tweet this morning, Vice President Kamala Harris reached out to Hillary Clinton and suggested that Biden may have dirt on the Clintons. "We can't imagine why she would do this, or what dirt Biden could possibly have on an impeccably virtuous moral leader like Hillary Clinton," said every single news anchor in perfect robotic unison. They then went back to their breaking story on why bird watching is racist. When asked for comment, Kamala Harris responded, saying: "HAHAHAHAHA ha ha ha ha ha HA!" Investigators are trying to uncover further information about what the Biden team...

by Samantha FosterChildren's channel Nickelodeon’s made a hard, shocking push to promote the "LGBTQ+" agenda to kids stuck at home during the pandemic over the past year.In the last two weeks alone, both Nickelodeon and its preschool-targeted network, Nick Jr., have released videos championing “trans,” “queer,” and “pansexual” inclusion. One video that sparked mass outrage depicted a cartoon version of drag queen Nina West (Andrew Levitt) singing about various LGBTQIA groups “loving each other so proudly” on “Blues Clues and You,” a show for two- to five-year olds. That same video showed a female-to-male transgender beaver who appeared to have...

Over the past year of hibernation, many viewers have rediscovered the joy of watching Columbo. The landmark 1970s TV mystery series starred Peter Falk in his multiple-Emmy-winning role as a raincoat-wearing, cigar-smoking detective who always had just one more question. The show was also popular in the time of its original airing, where it rotated on the NBC Mystery Movie schedule and featured an array of dazzling murderous guest stars like Janet Leigh, Leonard Nimoy, and John Cassavetes. Columbo’s reach even stretched to other countries: The people of Romania, for example, were huge fans. So much so that in 1974,...

Irritated by the publication of emails exposing his deceit and greed, Dr. Anthony Fauci went on MSNBC's "MTP Daily" to denounce his critics. Aided and abetted by the show's host Chuck Todd, Fauci declared "those who attack me are attacking science and truth." "These Republicans—Blackburn, Rubio, McCarthy—who say I lied to America because they find contradictory statements in my emails are ridiculous," Fauci declared. "How do they know I wasn't lying in my emails? There is no way of telling which were the lies. That I know this and they don't proves that I am the scientist and they are...

Years ago, the late Joseph Fletcher — an anything-goes utilitarian, sometimes called the “patriarch of bioethics” — yearned for a time when men would give birth. He wrote in his 1988 book, The Ethics of Genetic Control: Transplant or replacement medicine foresees the day, after the automatic rejection of alien tissue is overcome, when a uterus can be implanted in a human male’s body—his abdomen has spaces—and gestation started by artificial fertilization and egg transfer. Hypogonadism could be used to stimulate milk from the man’s rudimentary breasts—men too have mammary glands. If surgery could not construct a cervical canal the...

US President Joe Biden is in Europe as he looks to reset ties with traditional American allies. Trans-Atlantic relations had become increasingly tense during his predecessor’s term, thanks in part to tariffs that Donald Trump slapped on billions worth of European goods. Biden and European Union leaders will on Tuesday commit to ending trade disputes related to aluminum, steel and aircraft, according to a draft communiqué ahead of the US-EU summit. The draft spells out that the two sides will commit to end the nearly two-decade old Boeing-Airbus dispute before July 11 and lift punitive tariffs related to the steel...
