Although the prognosis of fatty liver depends on its causes, we feel from our clinical experience that fatty liver with hypertriglyceridemia has a good prognosis and responds well to treatment. In this study, 600 mg/day of pantethine was administered to 16 outpatients with fatty liver and hypertriglyceridemia for six months or longer to examine whether the drug improved fatty liver using abdominal plain computed tomography (CT). Nine of the 16-pantethine patients were no longer diagnosed as having fatty liver after the study period. An chi2 test indicated the significant disappearance of fatty liver. At the same time, the visceral fat...

Cicely Davis, a Black conservative Republican, is challenging Rep. Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Democrat, in the state’s very blue 5th Congressional District. Ms. Davis has much to say about her intention to unseat a very high-profile incumbent when the time comes in 2022. “I’ve lived in this district — in Minneapolis — long enough to know that there is not a single way to make the case for change among such a diverse population. The conservatives out here are angry at the policies put in place by progressive leaders. They want a fighter and a champion who will stand up for...

American Airlines cancelled hundreds of flights during the weekend, citing bad weather and staffing shortages. Two days of severe winds in Dallas-Fort Worth, its largest hub, sharply reduced its arrival capacity, the company said. Flights were also affected at its Charlotte, N.C. hub. “With additional weather throughout the system, our staffing begins to run tight as crew members end up out of their regular flight sequences,” American said in the statement to CNN. As of 4:00 p.m. EDT, FlightAware, an aviation tracking program, showed 460 flights, or 17% of the airline’s operations, were cancelled. Another nearly 300 flights, or 11%...

Former president Donald Trump will attend Game 4 of the World Series between the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros on Saturday night at Truist Park, according to a report by Bob Nightengale of USA Today. According to Braves CEO Terry McGuirk, Trump had surprised Major League Baseball officials by calling and telling them that he wanted to come to the game. Trump will not watch the game with MLB or Braves officials, and will instead watch from his own suite. McGuirk stated that the New York billionaire-turned 45th President of the United States was very much welcome at the ballpark....

Research in mice has shown that injecting vaccines into veins can cause myopericarditis. Chances of injecting into a vein are reduced by using a technique called aspiration (insert needle, draw up to check for blood, and then inject). Pfizer recommends using this technique in its vaccine literature. It appears that nurses and doctors in the US and UK are not aspirating when they jab.

Welp, Joe Biden went full Joe Biden on Saturday, after first making a low-key entrance at his first G20 summit, as the leaders of the world’s largest economies (sans China and Russia; the latter would be a third-world country were it not for nuclear weapons, and oil and gas reserves) gathered in Rome. That said — Biden being Biden — we’ll get to his foolishness in a bit. So, why should Joe behave any differently at the G20 summit? During the photo session with other world leaders, our intrepid president played the class clown, seen below joking with the President...

A G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Watch is in effect for 30 – 31 October, 2021, following a significant solar flare and Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the sun that occurred around 11:35 a.m. EDT on Oct. 28. Analysis indicated the CME departed the Sun at a speed of 973 km/s and is forecast to arrive at Earth on 30 October, with effects likely continuing into 31 October. When the CME approaches Earth, NOAA’s DSCOVR satellite will be among the first spacecraft to detect the real time solar wind changes and SWPC forecasters will issue any appropriate warnings. Impacts to...

Welfare is often sold as a means to help people lift themselves out of poverty, but every piece of data ever accumulated on the topic reveals the opposite is true. With few exceptions, welfare becomes a generational problem as families who become dependents of government remain dependents of government. There are ways to properly assist those in need without locking them into the welfare state. Jobs programs, education programs, and temporary relief funds can help people get a leg up from their circumstances, but Democrats know these types of programs do not accomplish the singular goal of the welfare state:...

[H/T Datura] As I write this, I’m finishing A Shot to Save the World, the new book about the hunt for a Covid vaccine.Which - surprisingly - I don’t hate. Written by Gregory Zuckerman of the Wall Street Journal, the book is a serious look at the decades of scientific work that helped produce the mRNA and DNA/AAV Covid vaccines.Even better, it contains this line about Stephane Bancel, Moderna’s chief executive, from Derrick Rossi: “He was asking me to steal from a hospital that treats children. Stephane is someone without a moral compass.”Who’s Derrick Rossi? Some crazy ivermectin-loving anti-vaxxer, no...

(Posting as vanity as it is not an official news source.) The word around Rome is that Biden’s meeting with the Pope was unusually long because Biden had a bit of an “bathroom accident” at the Vatican & it had to be addressed prior to him leaving. I know we joke often about this, but this is the actual rumor going around Rome now. Its going around in Switzerland too, so perhaps the Swiss Guard is leaking. They said he soiled his pants.

Holy See’s Uncritical Support for COP26 Causes ConcernCatastrophic crisis or a Trojan horse to push a secular agenda?VATICAN CITY — As the Holy See gives unreserved public backing to a major United Nations conference on climate change, concerns are growing that it is lending its weight to “climate alarmism” that is being used to usher in policies and ideologies antithetical to Church teaching.Otherwise known as COP26, the intergovernmental summit taking place in the Scottish city of Glasgow Oct. 31-Nov. 12 is being billed as the most pivotal series of climate talks since 2015, when nations signed the so-called Paris...

By all accounts, the 2020 election was rigged. Big Tech, the media, and Democrats used censorship, manipulation, and the pandemic to seize control of the vote. Journalist Mollie Hemingway joins Tucker to give the definitive account of the 2020 election.

Actor Alec Baldwin spoke publicly for the first time Saturday about the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed by a bullet fired from a prop gun fired by Baldwin on the set of the movie "Rust." Tracked down by paparazzi on the side of a road in Vermont alongside his wife Hilaria, Baldwin said he couldn't comment on the investigation into the death, which occurred on Oct. 21 south of Santa Fe, New Mexico. "I've been ordered by the sheriff's department in Santa Fe (not to comment on the case).... It's an active investigation in terms of a...

A UK resident submitted a Freedom of Information (“FOI”) request asking whether her representative Member of Parliament (“MP”) had been “vaccinated” and, if so, to disclose which type of Covid injection the MP had been given.The office of the MP responded: “I was informed that under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 section 30 Craig Tracey MP [for North Warwickshire and Bedworth] does not have to respond to the request,” and provided the link to section 30: Information Commissioner’s Office: Personal information (section 40 and regulation 13).A month earlier, on 7 September 2021, a FOI was submitted requesting that the...

For the sake of our two-party system, I would have liked to believe that Republican Glenn Youngkin, should he win the Virginia governor’s election on Tuesday, could show the way to a post-Trump restoration of the GOP, away from the crazy and the culture wars. After all, Youngkin is a moderate businessman who has long been a traditional Republican. But I can’t, because that’s not how he’s campaigned against former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe. Youngkin is no Donald Trump, but neither is he disavowing the worst of Trump. He’s using weasel words, but all the same he’s corroding faith in...

ransomnote: The FDA allows the pharma companies to use calculations of Covid 'vaccine' efficacy that falsely portray the 'vaccines' as being more effective than they actually are. This calculation is known as Relative Risk (RR) and it's similar to grading on a curve (e.g., 'Doug's test score is twice that of Jimmy's test score!'). The only candid way to report 'vaccine' efficacy is to calculate Absolute Risk (AR) (e.g., 'Doug's score was 20 out of 100, Jimmy's score was 10 out of 100, Doug and Jimmy both failed the test').The authors of this article, The Expose, and others similar...

Author and activist Ibram X. Kendi, who upholds the ideas that white privilege is rampant in American culture and systemic racism keeps minorities in states of oppression, shared an article on Twitter that revealed that "more than a third of white students lie about their race on college applications," according to a survey. Kendi's comment, which he later deleted, read that "More than a third of White students lied about their race on college applications, and about half of these applicants lied about being Native Americans. More than three-fourths of these students who lied about their race were accepted." Kendi...
