Keeping blood pressure to optimal levels might be key to keeping our brains young and healthy, according to new research SectoR_2010/Depositphotos =================================================================================== The interplay between high blood pressure and brain health is one scientists continue to shed new light on, with studies increasingly linking hypertension to a decline in cognitive function later in life. New research has drilled into the details around when exactly this relationship begins to take shape, finding that it not only begins earlier than suspected, but that even those with blood pressure at the higher end of the normal recommended range can be at risk of...

Yep, exactly what a perfectly normal farmer looks like after working in the fields and on equipment all day. Not a bit a dirt on the tractor, clothes or hands. I'm convinced.

While continuing to assist homeowners that have turned into their parents, Dr. Rick heads to the airport with a group of his patients.

The doctor assures that there is nothing him and his patients can't overcome, even this extremely challenging day at the airport. As snack bags are exposed and gate agents are bothered, it's obvious that these homeowners simply can't help who they've become. While Progressive might not be able to prevent customers from becoming their parents, the...

Former President Donald Trump has retained the most political power of any former U.S. president due to an "iron curtain of obedience" from Republicans, according to journalist Bob Woodward. "What's going on now really is an iron curtain of obedience to Trump," Woodward said. "It's not just polite deference, it is obedience. And it really is an iron curtain because it's so strong. These people, like Senator Grassley, can count. They can look at the polls. They go to their home states, they talk to constituents. And there's tens of millions of people who support Trump."

Australia has already established itself as the most draconian western nation when it comes to Covid “vaccine” requirements and unreasonable lockdowns. Now, Northern Territory has announced the worst mandates to date that will require pretty much anyone who comes in contact with others to be vaccinated within a month or face a $5000 fine. It isn’t just healthcare workers, teachers, or members of the military who will be affected. Bank tellers, store clerks, and anyone who is face-to-face with anyone else as part of their job requirements must be vaccinated, leave their job, or get fined. Aussies have one month...

HAARETZISM: Haaretz hate site, anti-Jewish racism, fabrication, half-truths, pro-terror, false Racialization : Since, especially, the early 2000s' unreliable Haaretz has been systematically exaggerating, often invented fake news, fabricating facts (sometimes apologizing weakly and only after the falsehood was widely disseminated) and apologetic for racist Arab attacks targeting Jews, yet slapping falsely the "racism" label exclusively on those that fear the very racist attacks. In general, using big words terminology like "racism" and "fascism" when not even related (some stated, it's intended for bait clicks). It has incited repeatedly for violence. And above all, has been spreading hatred against Jews, including...

My devotional today should probably not be written after my blood pressure got jacked. But, perhaps the timeliness of writing is better than allowing a cooling off period before venting. Peanut and I sat down to eat lunch. Yes, my dog and I eat lunch together. And, we usually watch something on television for a few minutes. Today, an episode of M*A*S*H was just finishing before Bonanza began. You remember the show, don’t you? Starring Loren Greene, Michael Landon, Pernell Roberts, and Dan Bloker, the setting is in the 1860s. The Cartwrights of Virginia City, Nevada have a 1,000 square...

Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time Luke 11:42-46 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.” Some religious leaders get their kicks from burdening people, laying the law on them heavily, making demands that are terrible, exulting in their own moral superiority. At the core of Jesus’ program is a willingness to bear other people’s burdens, to help them carry their loads. And this applies to the moral life as well. If we lay the burden...

Katie Couric has admitted to 'protecting' Ruth Bader Ginsburg from public backlash by cutting out negative comments she made about people who kneel during the national anthem. The former Today show host reveals in her new book that she let her personal political views influence her editing decisions during her 2016 interview with the late Supreme Court justice. In new memoir, Going There, Couric writes that she edited out a part where Ginsburg said that those who kneel during the national anthem are showing 'contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live...

Numerous affected CIA, State Department, and U.S. military attaches have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries as a result of their exposure.

Taiwan's defence ministry warned China of strong countermeasures on Wednesday if its forces got too close to the island, as Beijing defended its incursions into Taiwan's air defence zone as "just" moves to protect peace and stability. Military tensions with China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory, are at their worst in more than 40 years, Taiwan's defence minister said last week, adding China will be capable of mounting a "full scale" invasion by 2025. He was speaking after China mounted four straight days of mass air force incursions into Taiwan's air defence identification zone that began Oct. 1,...

Sharon Osbourne named the “more than woke” CBS executives who ousted her from her show “The Talk” and said “they’ve destroyed” her. “They are desperate to keep their jobs, they are desperate in these times we live in to be perceived as more than woke,” the 69-year-old former talk show co-host shared Tuesday during the “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast on Sirius XM. “You know, they wanna be seen as Mother Teresa and Jesus Christ … but they’re all hypocrites,” she added. “They’re liars and they’re hypocrites and they’ll do whatever they have to do to keep their job.” (RELATED:...

Food and Drug Administration scientists found potential benefit to a second dose of the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine in a data review that was released Wednesday and that depended heavily on the company’s analysis, suggesting a booster of that shot was perhaps more warranted than additional doses of other coronavirus inoculations. From the dawn of the vaccine campaign, many experts said they believed the one-shot Johnson & Johnson regimen would ultimately require a second shot, and the documents pave the way for a panel of experts who advise the FDA to discuss Friday the timing, necessity and safety of...
