The installation of a commemorative bell in downtown Gilroy last week was intended to mark the city's 150-year anniversary, but it's instead become the center of a feud over race and history.

A study has revealed that obesity is likely to cause an increased risk of kidney disease. The findings suggest that tackling obesity could have a powerful impact on kidney health. Most of the previous studies have been unable to explain if the relationship between obesity and renal disease was little more than an association. However, through a technique called Mendelian Randomisation—which groups people according to a genetic code randomly assigned at birth and removes any bias—they found that increasing values of genetically predicted BMI and WC were causally associated with the measures of kidney function. The team were able to...

At first, it seemed like Jeff Zucker was just another piece of collateral damage from Andrew Cuomo’s demise, caught in the same blast radius that knocked Chris Cuomo out of CNN months earlier. It all seemed so rich, considering Zucker was the one who canned Chris for getting wrapped up in Andrew’s own workplace scandal. But for many CNN staffers, something isn’t adding up about Zucker’s surprise resignation on Wednesday. The network’s president said in a statement that he failed to disclose a romantic relationship with his number two, Allison Gollust, before it was raised during an investigation into Chris...

Regional governments in Canada have begun announcing plans to drop onerous civil rights restrictions on their citizens meant to contain the Chinese coronavirus this week following mounting pressure from national protests, most prominently the “Freedom Convoy” in Ottawa.

mRNA technology is making waves with the success of the COVID-19 vaccines by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. CAR-T cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy that engineers a patient’s own cells, have transformed the treatment of certain blood cancers. Now, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have harnessed the power of both approaches in a promising experimental therapy to treat heart disease. The Penn team designed mRNAs that could turn regular T cells into therapeutic CAR-T cells inside the body to target heart fibrosis, a scarring from cardiac injury that impairs heart function. In a mouse model of heart failure, an injection...

Despite blowback from some conservatives, former President Donald Trump is not changing his tune on endorsing Morgan Ortagus in the GOP primary for Tennessee's 5th District if she runs. Social media influencer and House candidate Robby Starbuck has been a favorite among MAGA-supporting political strategists for his full-throated support for America First ideals, but Trump told Newsmax his endorsement of Ortagus – if she decides to run – was based on the candidate he knows versus the candidate he does not. "Well, I didn't know Robby Starbuck; I have known Morgan; she's been in the administration; she did a good...

A meta-analysis spearheaded by John Hopkins University has found that the economically devastating lockdowns that occurred in the spring of 2020 barely moved the needle on preventing COVID deaths. The meta-analysis also found that most specific nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) tended to offer little benefit, save for, in it would appear, one measure. “Studies looking at specific NPIs (lockdown vs. no lockdown, facemasks, closing non-essential businesses, border closures, school closures, and limiting gatherings) also find no broad-based evidence of noticeable effects on COVID-19 mortality,” according to the analysis.

"It's sad to see the recent litany of embarrassing moments from a show I invested so much time and effort in trying to elevate," McCain writes Meghan McCain is weighing in on the recent controversy surrounding her former co-worker, Whoopi Goldberg. And she definitely thinks Whoopi is getting special treatment. Earlier this week, Whoopi remarked on “The View” that the Holocaust “isn’t about race,” drawing widespread criticism. In the days following, she apologized multiple times, saying on Tuesday’s episode, "Words matter and mine are no exception. I regret my comments, as I said, and I stand corrected."

Antarctica’s so-called Doomsday Glacier, nicknamed because it is huge and coming apart, is mostly thwarting an international effort to figure out how dangerously vulnerable it is. A large iceberg broke off the deteriorating Thwaites glacier and, along with sea ice, it is blocking two research ships with dozens of scientists from examining how fast its crucial ice shelf is falling apart. Scientists from around the world are part of a multi-year $50 million international effort to study the Florida-sized glacier by land, sea and below for the brief time the remote ice is reachable during the Antarctic summer..... What worries...

WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - U.S. soldiers who refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine will be immediately discharged, the U.S. Army said on Wednesday, saying the move was critical to maintain combat readiness The Army's order applies to regular Army soldiers, active-duty Army reservists and cadets unless they have approved or pending exemptions, it said in a statement. The discharge order is the latest from a U.S. military branch removing unvaccinated service membersamid the pandemicafter the Pentagon made the vaccine mandatory for all service members in August 2021. The vast majority of all active duty troops have received at least...

A new paper indicates that overweight and obese people who lose weight may reduce their chances of later developing colorectal adenoma—a type of benign growth or polyp in the colon or rectum that could lead to colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of death from cancer among men and women in the United States. Obesity is a known risk factor for colorectal adenoma and colorectal cancer. Doctors recommend weight loss for overweight and obese people commonly. Although weight loss is thought to have some beneficial health effects, whether losing...

A fundraising group authorized by Democratic Connecticut Rep. Jahana Hayes has paid her family tens of thousands of dollars, using campaign contributions from donors to pay them since entering Congress, FEC records reviewed by the Daily Caller show. During Q4 2021, Hayes used her campaign fund, called “Friends of Jahana Hayes,” to pay her son $15,118.54 since entering Congress. In 2018, the Hartford Courant reported Hayes’ son David Crenshaw, age 24, joined Hayes to celebrate her Congressional victory. The FEC records, reviewed by the Daily Caller, show that Hayes paid over $15,000 in increments of $282.47 each to a person...

Russian forces are poised to invade Ukraine unless the United States and NATO cave to Vladimir Putin's demands. The Biden administration and the Western military alliance have no plans to mount a meaningful response to Russia's unprovoked aggression, but they have gone to great lengths to ensure their symbolic expression of outrage will be as "gender inclusive" as possible. The NATO Gender-Inclusive Language Manual, published in April 2020, offers crucial guidance for Western military officials regarding the use of "communication as a basis for advancing gender equality." The pivotal document was prepared by the office of Clare Hutchinson, who has...

The ground is swelling under the Three Sisters volcanic region in central Oregon. The U.S. Geological Survey issued a statement that the rate of uplift in an area 12 miles across has risen nearly an inch between June of 2020 and August of 2021. Yet, this latest uplift comes after some 25 years of activity. Scientists say it’s happening as lava is filling a space underground.

Five Freedoms: Julie Ponesse’s Speech to the Trucker ConvoyDr. Julie Ponesse was a professor of ethics who has taught at Ontario’s Huron University College for 20 years.

Netflix's documentary "The Tinder Swindler" is about man who scammed women into debt. Shimon Hayut lied about his identity saying he was real-life billionaire diamond mogul Lev Leviev's son. His victims say he loved-bombed them until they sent money or gave him their credit cards. When 29-year-old Cecilie Fjellhøy met Simon Leviev on Tinder in 2018, she thought she'd scored the man of her dreams. He was handsome, generous, thoughtful, and rich. At the time, Leviev told Fjellhøy he worked for his billionaire father in the diamond industry. Their online relationship quickly evolved into dates on private jets and at...

VIDEOJeff Zucker as you have probably never seen him before with hair being interviewed by Charlie Rose in 1992. Ironic given that both were decades later forced to make hasty exits from TV Land due to below the waist actions. One Fun fact about Zucker is that both he and your humble correspondent were both students of North Miami Senior High School though not at the same time. Although Zucker still has hair on his head in this video, you can already see it rapidly receding so fast that even during this interview you can see him losing hair. Just...

Congress passed a much-ballyhooed "infrastructure" bill. "Roads and bridges." Well, not much of it went to roads and bridges in the first place, only $110 billion out of $1.2 Trillion went to roads, bridges "and investments in other major transportation programs." But the The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) decides where to spend the money. The The Wall Street Journal reports "...Deputy Administrator Stephanie Pollack advised staff on the types of projects they should give the red light. According to the memo, proposals should be sent to the bottom of the pile if they “add new general purpose travel lanes serving...
