Replacing salt with a low-sodium alternative lowers the risk of stroke in people with high blood pressure or prior stroke, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session at ESC Congress 2021[1] and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.[2] Both elevated sodium intake and low potassium intake are associated with high blood pressure and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death.[3,4] Salt substitutes, which replace part of the sodium chloride in regular salt with potassium chloride, have been shown to lower blood pressure[5] but their effects on heart disease, stroke, and death had been...

SACRAMENTO, CA—According to sources, California governor Gavin Newsom was recently seen by several witnesses in a dark back alley throwing a gorilla suit and a carton of rotten eggs in the trash. The Newsom campaign released a statement assuring the public these things had absolutely nothing to do with the woman wearing a gorilla mask who threw eggs at Larry Elder the other day. "Yeah, nothing unusual about this," said Newsom to curious onlookers. "This is just my weekly trip to the garbage to throw away eggs and gorilla suits. I like dressing as a gorilla sometimes, ok? Nothing weird...

The Presidents' club is teaming up to aid in a massive, bipartisan effort to welcome and support Afghan refugees that is being launched Tuesday. Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama -- along with former first ladies Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama -- are serving as honorary co-chairs for the group Welcome.US. Welcome.US, the group said in a news release, is aimed at engaging "all Americans to welcome and support refugees, beginning with the individuals and families who fled Afghanistan" following the American withdrawal from the nation in recent weeks. After the biggest military evacuation...

The people of Wyoming deserve leaders who reflect their views and values. As a fourth generation Wyomingite who learned the importance of hard work, integrity, and loyalty on my family’s ranch near Fort Laramie, I know what’s in the heart of our great state. And I also know that our current representative in Congress, Liz Cheney, has turned her back on us in favor of her own personal war with former President Donald Trump. For these reasons, and many more, I have declared my candidacy and am challenging Cheney in the 2022 Republican primary for Wyoming’s lone House seat. Over...

The United Nations has called on Western countries around the world to donate $600 million in taxpayer money to help the Taliban settle in after taking over Afghanistan. On Monday, the U.N. opened a high-level donors conference with demands for member states to help fund the terrorist group’s self-declared Islamic Caliphate of Afghanistan over the next three months.

The U.S. government database that keeps track of deaths from vaccine side effects has exploded by 10-fold since the advent of COVID-19, and the experimental vaccines that have been developed in response.

In her "Ingraham Angle" on Monday, host Laura Ingraham noted that President Joe Biden failed to offer public remarks on Saturday, 20 years after Al Qaeda terrorists attacked America on September 11, 2001. She also noted how pundits and public observers had varied predictions as to why Biden was silent – whether he would be booed on stage at such a solemn event, or whether he would go off script or get lost. But, the host said the most plausible reason is that former President George W. Bush essentially spoke as a proxy for him during remarks in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

President Biden is drunk with power after announcing a vaccine mandate and our sources reveal he's already working on more! Are you ready? Here is a list of mandates Biden reportedly has planned for this year: 1) For the entire month of October, all foods must be pumpkin spice flavor: Biden is a fan of pumpkin spice and thinks you should be too. Bring on the pumpkin spice hotdogs and the pumpkin spice steak! 2) During all the other months of the year, all foods must still be pumpkin spice flavored: Dangit. 3) Everyone approached by Joe Biden must allow...

Last night, another murder was reported in Arab society, with the background to the murder being the woman's lifestyle - which her family did not like. Einav Halabi with two stories that illustrate the whole story: a story about women who were beaten and threatened with murder, gathered the courage to divorce, and since then they spend their lives in a debilitating fear that every day will become the last diary... Last night (Sunday) it was reported that three brothers in their 20s from Zarzir were arrested on suspicion of murdering their mother and hiding her body in the mountainous...

Communities are being urged to practice social distancing, some schools are closing, sports and cultural events are being canceled, and companies are asking employees to work from home — even if they're not experiencing coronavirus symptoms. Many are wondering why they are essentially self-quarantined despite the fact that they're not sick. The answer has to do with "flattening the curve" — an answer that could leave some people confused... Measures like social distancing can help communities achieve that second line — a slower growth in the number of cases — so that they have more time and resources to care...

Even before the suicide bombings outside the Kabul airport on Thursday evening, the US media was acting with rare unanimity. For the first time in memory, US media organs across the ideological and political spectrum have been united in the view that US President Joe Biden fomented a strategic disaster for the US and its allies with his incompetent leadership of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Some compare it to the 1961 Bay of Pigs; others to Saigon in 1975; others to the US embassy in Tehran in 1979. Whatever the analogy, the bottom line is the same: Biden's surrender...

The first lady Jill Biden is set to visit the political battleground states of Wisconsin and Iowa this week to help vulnerable Democrats as they begin to worry about their chances of keeping their seats and the majority in the House. Jill will stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Wednesday, as well as Des Moines, Iowa, with Rep. Cindy Axne, the lone Democrat in Iowa’s congressional delegation.

I am not in Ca but have important interest in this Ca vote. Ca is the test bed for unconstitutional laws that are eventually implemented nation wide. If Newsom is recalled it will be a huge blow to the Democrat party agenda over all. Does anyone have a reliable source to monitor and keep tract of the numbers today? The only one I could find was the SF Chronicle. And I don't trust the numbers they will be throwing out. Any help with this would be great!

Hillary Clinton has called on Democratic lawmakers and the Biden administration to undertake a new ‘War on Terror’., but this time, however, she wants to target… Trump supporters. Clinton expressed worries about homegrown Trump terrorists causing more harm to America than the Taliban in an unsettling interview with CBS News last Friday. When asked about terrorism threats due to the withdrawal from Afghanistan, Clinton rejected the idea that Islamic terrorism was a threat, instead asserting that the ‘real threat to America and American democracy’ is Trump supporters ‘like the ones we saw on Jan 6’.

Tuesday marks the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri, the Florentine poet, politician and philosopher. Dante, or as we call him in Italian, il Sommo Poeta (the Supreme Poet), is most famously known for his role in establishing the use of vernacular in literature at a time when most poetry was written in Latin. While he was not the first to do so, this decision by Dante, along with that of his fellow Tuscans Giovanni Boccaccio and Francesco Petrarca (together called the tre corone –three crowns — of Italian literature), played a pivotal role in their native Tuscan...

JESUS IS RISEN, INDEED! . 30 A.D. Bible Timeline The Bible does not provide an account of Jesus rising to life on Sunday morning in the tomb — God has left that most momentous of events entirely to our imaginations.

U.S. President Joe Biden will travel to New York next week and personally deliver an address to world leaders at the United Nations, the White House confirmed Monday, as the administration seeks to draw diplomatic a line under the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. The world’s largest diplomatic meeting, which was held virtually in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, will be framed around a hybrid in-person-virtual format, AFP reports.

“Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.” That quote isn’t from Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder. It’s the conclusion of the bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker III.There is increasing evidence of vote fraud in the California recall election.Torrance, California Police found 300 recall ballots and multiple California drivers licenses in a felon’s car. In the San Fernando Valley, election officials are telling Republican voters that they have already voted. At one precinct in Woodland Hills, election officials were saying...

Neo-Leninist liberals are committed to the asphyxiation of personal freedom. It's an unimpeachable historical fact. They are a demonic consortium of haters, which brings me to Joe Biden. Biden is a lecherous drunk and molester, who is well remembered in the Hazleton, Pennsylvania, area for being face-down drunk at bar tables. That's not a joke, by the way. It's a fact that's still spoken of by local townsfolk. I'll grant that he believes himself to be president. That, however, is the way he sees himself; it's not the way I see him. I see him in the same context of...
