Nebraska is the only state in the United States to have not detected a case of the Mu variant of COVID-19, which may render vaccines less effective. Since being first identified in Colombia in January, the Mu variant has spread to 41 countries, including the United States. Most prevalent in Hawaii and Alaska, the variant accounts for less than one percent of cases in the U.S., but its potential to be more transmissible or resist vaccines and natural immunity have health officials keeping tabs on the mutation. At least one case of the Mu variant has been detected in the...

…19TH CENTURY: DIETS AND DIABETIC DOGS Diet became the rage around 1800 after John Rollo confirmed the existence of excess blood sugar in people with diabetes, concluding that low-carb, high-protein diets worked best. Seventy years later, French physician Appolinaire Bouchardat discovered during a food shortage that starvation worked well for his patients. By the 1880s, periodic fasting and starvation were the norm. German medical student Paul Langerhans first identified islet cells in the pancreas in 1869. In 1889, Josef von Mering and Oskar Minkowski removed the pancreas of a dog and voilà! — instant diabetes. Scottish endocrinologist Edward Sharpey-Shafer made...

A “furious” Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal (CT) released a statement Monday on his behind the scenes efforts to help evacuate stranded Americans and Afghans from Afghanistan, blasting the Biden administration for “delay and inaction.” ...... Snip...... Blumenthal demanded the White House and State Department “do everything in their power” to facilitate the evacuation from Afghanistan and arrival at the U.S. base in Doha, Qatar. “My staff and I have worked night and day to secure the safe passage of two planes waiting in Mazar-e-Sharif to take American citizens, at-risk Afghan allies, and their families to safety. My office joined forces...

Taking into account the collapsing model of the Ukrainian industry and the corresponding "collapse" of the energy complex, even a school student understands that the commissioning of five new nuclear reactors will create a colossal surplus of power and there will be nowhere to direct this electricity (and the deficit of balancing capacities will worsen even more). Subsequently, the total capacity of nuclear power generation may be halved, and nuclear power in Ukraine from the category of the cheapest will become the most expensive. What to expect from a company on the verge of bankruptcy The launch of even one...

The head of the country’s largest LGBTQ advocacy group defiantly tweeted Sunday that he will not resign over his role in ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s attempts at damage control amid a sexual harassment scandal. Alphonso David - who took over the Human Rights Campaign after serving as Cuomo’s chief counsel from 2015 to 2019 - claimed in his statement that he had been asked to step down even after an independent review found “no indication of wrongdoing.” “The board co-chairs have now asked me to consider resigning, not because of any wrongdoing, but because they feel the incident has been a...

Last week, USA Today decided to fact check reality. Presented with a photo of President Biden checking his watch during the return of dead US service members to American soil, reporter Daniel Funke said that was “wrong.” Don’t believe your lying eyes. No, Funke insisted, Biden only checked his watch after the ceremony was over. No matter that military family members were already quoted saying the president did it multiple times. Then, calamity. Pictures revealed that Biden checked his watch at least three times. Funke was forced to fact check his fact check, which he did grudgingly as a “clarification.”...

Overviewing the current strategic situations, mainland China, aspiring to become an international superpower, is eager to undermine the international order and regional stability. It has been particularly imposing coercive means of verbal intimidation and saber-rattling, intrusion and provocation by aerial and maritime assets, cyberattacks, and cognitive warfare-forcing us to succumb to their will. Amidst the rapid-change external situations with full of severe challenges, the ROC Armed Forces is absolutely responsible for defending Taiwan. Only by improving ourselves and striving forward, accelerating force buildup and focusing on defense reform without fear of any difficulties, can we protect the country by our...

Vatican hosts screening of film that invented papal soundbite on civil unionsROME – Nearly a year after a Vatican media fiasco involving snippets of commentary by Pope Francis spliced together in a high-profile documentary to create a soundbite endorsing same-sex civil unions, the Vatican is now screening that same documentary for a group of migrants and refugees. On Monday, Francesco, produced by Russian Jewish filmmaker Evgeny Afineevsky, will be shown in the Vatican’s new synod hall for a group of 130 migrant and refugee families. While hosting the poor and less fortunate for special VIP events inside Vatican walls has...

“The Wire’’ actor Michael K. Williams was found dead of a suspected drug overdose in his Brooklyn penthouse Monday afternoon, law-enforcement sources told The Post. Drug paraphernalia was found in the five-time Emmy nominee’s apartment, suggesting the acclaimed 54-year-old actor may have fatally OD’d, possibly from heroin or fentanyl, sources said.

Such thoughts were on my mind when I witnessed comments made by Biden allies about the so-called “special relationship” last week. In reaction to leaked remarks allegedly made by cabinet members doubting President Joe Biden’s mental acuity in the wake of the Afghan debacle, allies of the President lashed out furiously warning that: It’s always been his way that if somebody says something really bad to him, or about him, he doesn’t speak to them again. He does bear grudges. Boris Johnson should know that. Quite frankly, it bodes poorly for the relationship with the UK. The special relationship is...

Former FDA chief Scott Gottlieb is warning that the “true Delta wave” has yet to begin in the Northeast — and predicted it would start soon after Labor Day. “I think there’s sort of a perception that we’re sort of through this Delta wave here in the Northeast because we’ve seen Delta cases go up and go down in places like the New York metropolitan region. We’re also seeing positive [tests] come down,” said Dr. Gottlieb, the former head of the federal Food and Drug Administration, on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Friday.

NEW YORK, NY—Rolling Stone has nabbed an exclusive report on the whereabouts of Bat Boy. The 100% true, incredible, shocking article was published as a cover story this month by the reputable magazine, trusted by all for its impeccable fact-checking and vetting process, leading to stories that are not just true, but "double-plus true." The gripping profile of the pariah Bat Boy chronicled his journey from being born a mutant half-boy, half-bat, to being captured by a shadowy scientific organization run by the United States government, to escaping again, to being captured again, to escaping again, and so on. According...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Medical experts are reporting that a new variant of the COVID-19 virus – known as “Mu” – has been detected in almost all 50 U.S. states, and it is proving to be potentially immune to all vaccines that are currently in use. According to The World Health Organization (WHO), the Mu variant – also known as B.1.621 – may not be impeded by either individuals who have been fully inoculated against the virus that causes COVID-19, or by people who have acquired a degree of immunity after having been previously infected.

Pope responds to Israeli criticism over comments on Jewish lawVATICAN CITY, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Pope Francis has moved to allay Jewish concerns over comments he made about their books of sacred law, following a demand for clarification from Israel's top rabbis, Vatican and Jewish community sources said on Monday.Last month Reuters reported exclusively that Rabbi Rasson Arousi, chair of the Commission of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel for Dialogue with the Holy See, had written a stern letter to the Vatican, saying Francis' comments appeared to suggest that the Torah, or Jewish law, was obsolete. read more At a...

After demonizing nearly every medication with the potential to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally recommended monoclonal antibodies earlier this summer. Before the official recommendation, some providers used them under an emergency use authorization (EUA) granted by the FDA in November 2020. The FDA just granted an EUA to allow their use for SARS-CoV-2 post-exposure and ongoing prophylaxis. This approval will increase demand. Recently, the treatment has gotten quite a bit of media coverage. While the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been promoting the treatment on the Combat Covid website...

The great computer chip shortage of 2021 will likely get worse before it gets better. This conclusion was reached following brief study and anecdotal review. Moreover, while COVID lockdowns may have initially triggered the shortage, several decades of shortsighted decisions and simmering geopolitical tensions make it much more than a matter of fixing a few broken links in the supply chain. Here’s why… The world’s top two leading chip companies are Taiwan’s TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung Electronics. These two Asian firms, combined, control more than 70 percent of the semiconductor manufacturing market. The U.S., which was once a leader,...

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers shared a message assuring the Country that the Arizona audit report is coming. The audit report has been delayed all this time by enemies of the audit. Now members of the team are still recovering from COVID-19. Once all team members are healthy and able to focus on the task, they will finish the report and it will be presented to the public. We can also expect the signature analysis report to be released at the same time. Audit Spokesman Randy Pullen said that the signature analysis should be completed by Tuesday. Arizona State Senator...

With mail-in voting already underway, Newsom is spending big time in an effort save his governorship. Money is pouring in from billionaire left-wing donor George Soros, who has donated a total of $1 million to help Newsom, while Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings has given a whopping $3 million. Celebrities are helping lead the smear efforts against Elder and the GOP. Actor Ron Perlman posted an profanity-laden video in which he compared Republicans to ISIS and said “**** you, GOP.”
