Chris Sununu (R) said in an interview he passed on running for Senate because he didn’t want to simply be a “roadblock” to President Biden for two years. “I was pretty close,” Sununu told The Washington Examiner about weighing a Senate bid. “I wasn't ready to make an announcement, but I was like, 'OK, this makes sense. I think I could be a voice nationally."

Levels of 14 proteins in the blood of critically ill COVID-19 patients are associated with survival. A single blood sample from a critically ill COVID-19 patient can be analyzed by a machine learning model which uses blood plasma proteins to predict survival, weeks before the outcome, according to a new study published this week in the open-access journal PLOS Digital Health by Florian Kurth and Markus Ralser of the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany, and colleagues.

After Andreea’s mom died of COVID-19 in April, the harassment started. Noxious messages started coming in after she wrote a Facebook post letting friends and family know about her loss. One person messaged her to say they couldn’t believe her mother hadn’t protected herself. Andreea has since deleted most of the other messages, but she remembers people saying things like “I can’t believe your mom was an anti-vaxxer” and “I can’t believe she didn’t understand that COVID could kill you.” “Instead of people saying that they were sorry for my loss, they would question my mom’s medical choices. It became...

A father of an autistic child, Michael Seklecki, filed the emergency application, asserting that he and his child are not able to wear a mask. Lucas Wall also joined the lawsuit, claiming that he has been unable to fly because he is medically unable to wear a mask as well. The request, filed to Justice Neil Gorsuch, was denied by the justices with no further comment.

In a preliminary study of people with "wet" age-related macular degeneration, researchers report that as many as a third of those may be able to safely stop eye injection therapy without further vision loss. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of vision loss among people age 50 and older. The majority of those who lose vision from the condition have the "wet" form. Treatment of wet AMD requires monthly or bimonthly injections of drugs called anti-VEGF—or anti-vascular endothelial growth factor—into the eye. Anti-VEGF agents can slow or stop the growth of the leaky blood vessels and, in...

Second Week in Ordinary Time Mark 2:23-28 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus calls us to recognize him as Lord. Acknowledging the lordship of Jesus means that your life has to change. For many this is liberating good news. But for others, it is a tremendous threat. If Jesus is Lord, my ego can’t be Lord. My religion can’t be Lord. My country, my convictions, and my culture cannot be Lord. The Resurrection is the clearest indication of the lordship of Jesus. This is why the message of the Resurrection is attacked, belittled, or explained away. The author of Acts speaks...

Genome sequencing can be used to determine whether a patient’s illness is genetic, but it usually takes weeks to get results. A new ultra-rapid technique can sequence a person’s genome and diagnose genetic diseases in just a few hours, earning it a Guinness World Record. All the information that makes up an organism is contained in its genome, including traits like eye color, as well as genetic diseases. By comparing a patient’s genome with a checklist of DNA mutations associated with certain inherited diseases, doctors can diagnose otherwise mysterious illnesses. Currently, this process usually takes a few weeks. But in...

The editors of the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet apologized for "thoughtlessly regurgitating the official government narrative on covid without ever questioning the validity of the content. We got swept up in the 'end-of-the-world' hysteria that led to bogus claims that 'science' required the incoherent and authoritarian measures that ruined millions of livelihoods, cost trillions of dollars, and encouraged vicious hatred of the scapegoats designated by government health authorities and politicians." "Good journalism emanates from skepticism," the editors wrote. "If we are to avert a further decline into insanity we must return to this foundation of our business. A self-governing people...

Mentally speaking, Joseph Robinette Biden Junior is no longer with us. He lives in a world of his own. The best thing that can be said now about the Biden Presidency is that the person most likely to be elected to replace him in 2024 (if Biden lasts that long) is Donald Trump. Fortunately, Emmanuel, our God, is always with us.

The asteroid, known as 7482 (1994 PC1), is set to fly by the planet at 1:51 p.m. PT, traveling at a speed of about 43,754 mph, according to NASA. “Near-Earth #asteroid 1994 PC1 (~1 km wide) is very well known and has been studied for decades by our #PlanetaryDefense experts,” With a diameter of approximately 3,451 feet, the asteroid is more than twice the size of the Empire State Building. And while there’s no threat that the asteroid will hit our planet, NASA still considers it a “potentially hazardous object” due to a combination of size and distance from Earth....
