    Progressive Caucus Urges Biden to Declare Climate Emergency, Stop New Fossil Fuel Extraction, Turbocharge Renewables WASHINGTON— The Congressional Progressive Caucus called on President Biden today to declare a climate emergency, ban federal fossil fuel leasing and extraction, and build distributed renewable energy systems under the Defense Production Act. The lawmakers also urged Biden to issue executive orders to advance environmental justice and make clean air and water accessible for all. “There’s no question that we’re in a climate emergency. The caucus is absolutely right that President Biden should declare it so we can build the energy security that only renewable...

    Eric Adams, the new mayor of New York City, rode into office on a wave of popular discontent with his predecessor. Part of his pitch to voters was that he would “revisit” Bill de Blasio’s draconian vaccine mandates. The mayor promised on Wednesday to find a mutually satisfactory solution with Major League Baseball to get unvaccinated players back in the game. The season-opening is just around the corner, starting on April 7 for the Yankees and April 15 for the Mets. “We are going to do an analysis,” Mayor Adams explained at Wednesday’s press conference. “Baseball season is not tomorrow....

    BOSTON (CBS) — Boston Mayor Michelle Wu opened up to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a new podcast about the backlash to her COVID vaccine mandate for city employees. As a guest on Clinton’s podcast, Wu was asked how she’s handling the noisy early morning protests outside her Roslindale house. She has proposed an ordinance that would limit when protesters can picket outside private homes. “It’s a very difficult moment in our history, and I see that almost every day outside my house when we are faced with 7 a.m. protests, banging and yelling,” Wu said. “It’s seeded...

    The Daily Reckoning ^ | 8 Mar 22 | James Rickards
    The Sanctions Boomerang But Russia has not stood still. The Central Bank of Russia imposed capital controls so that Russian companies cannot pay interest or principal on international debts. That means those loans and bonds may soon go into default. Many such securities may be stuffed into 401(k) plans of Americans under the umbrella of “emerging markets” funds or ETFs. Even more important is the possibility that interbank lending may start to dry up as Russian banks are frozen and Western banks reduce leverage and shrink balance sheets in order to reduce risk. This will lead to defaults in the...
  • Tester is exactly right we shouldn’t be buying oil from Iran and Venezuela, but Biden’s nominees are destroying our domestic energy production

    The Missoulian ^ | 3-17-22 | Dr. John R. Lott
    Some Democrats are pushing back on President Biden’s plan to buy oil from totalitarian governments like Venezuela, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. “We shouldn’t be advancing other countries who don’t share our values,” said Sen. Jon Tester last week. Tester is exactly right. But Biden is working hard to destroy all our domestic energy industries, and, unfortunately, Senator Jon Tester keeps supporting Biden’s radical nominees who are implementing these policies. Biden is using all the regulatory tools at his disposal to “debank” those industries he doesn’t like. That means he will force financial institutions not to do business with these companies....

    in the '70s, Miller crafted a brand of pure pop that was smart, polished, exciting and irresistible - and that dominated radio in a way that few artists have ever managed. Hit followed hit in what seemed like an endless flow: “The Joker,” "Take the Money and Run," "Rock'n Me," "Fly Like an Eagle," "Jet Airliner," "Jungle Love," “Swingtown” and “Abracadabra,” among them. To this day, those songs are instantly recognizable when they crop up online or on the radio - and impossible not to sing along with. Their hooks are the very definition of indelible. Running through Miller's distinctive...
  • Trial testing cocoa flavanol supplement shows promise for reducing cardiovascular risk (500 mg a day consistently taken reduced cardiovascular death by 39%)

    The first large-scale trial to test the long-term effects of a cocoa flavanol supplement to prevent cardiovascular disease offers promising signals that cocoa flavanols could have protective cardiovascular effects. While neither supplement significantly reduced the primary outcome of total cardiovascular events, people randomized to receive the cocoa flavanol supplement had a 27% lower rate of cardiovascular death, a pre-specified secondary endpoint. More than 21,000 participants were randomized to take daily capsules that contained 500 mg cocoa flavanols (donated by Mars Edge), a multivitamin tablet (donated by GSK Consumer Healthcare), neither or both. The study found that cocoa flavanols reduced total...

    PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and law enforcement leaders spoke Thursday morning, addressing the spike in gun violence in the city. According to Chief Deputy District Attorney Kristen Snowden, gun violence referrals are up 450%. Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell said for 2022, there have been an average of 21.9 shootings per week in Portland. If this trend continues, Chief Lovell says there will be a little over 1500 shootings this year, which is a 14% increase compared to last year. The Focused Intervention Team (FIT) has recovered 19 firearms so far, according to Chief Lovell, and have...

However, it appears that the focus on Ukraine might very well bring attention right back to the origins of the last catalysing global event they seek to erase from our memory. Regardless of what happens with...
  • Adjuvant compared to early salvage therapy post-prostatectomy in men with PN1 prostate cancer decreased mortality risk (Don’t wait for PSA score to show up to irradiate pelvic lymph nodes)

    03/17/2022 1:01:41 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 14 replies
    Men with microscopic evidence of prostate cancer spreading to their pelvic lymph nodes (LNs) following the surgical resection of the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes (LN) are at a very high risk of dying from prostate cancer. Pelvic LN radiation therapy (RT) is a potentially curative treatment. However, no randomized clinical trials have been conducted in men with pN1 prostate cancer to evaluate whether survival is prolonged via pelvic LN RT when the post-operative prostate-specific antigen level is undetectable (i.e., adjuvant) versus the current standard of care, which involves waiting until the PSA becomes detectable (i.e., early salvage). Researchers at...

    The House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill that would strip Russia of normal trade relations with the U.S., in a move that paves the way for higher tariffs on Russian goods. The bill now goes to the Senate. President Joe Biden has backed efforts to change Russia's trade status as one way to punish President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine. The vote was 424-8, with all eight "no" votes coming from Republicans.

    While speaking to reporters Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that she will be reading a poem about Ukraine written by U2 singer Bono at the annual Friends of Ireland St. Patrick's Day lunch at the U.S Capitol. “This is a joke right?" tweeted former Obama administration official Tommy Vietor, but Pelosi went on to read the poem at the lunch anyway. "I got this message this morning from Bono," Pelosi said at the lunch. "And most of us, whether we're in Ireland, or here, whatever it is, Bono has been a very Irish part of our lives." The San...

    Fox News’ Pierre Zakrzewski died Monday doing what he loved to do most: chasing a story. He was one of the best combat cameramen – all-around cameramen, for that matter – in the business. He was an incredible journalist. He knew the stories inside and out. He saved my own life on many occasions. We were embedded in the lead Marine company in the battle of Fallujah in Iraq in 2004. Three Marines were killed, 18 injured, just in our unit. He had my back. He carried 80 pounds of electronic camera gear on his back as we scaled the...

    When President Biden was sworn into office, crude oil was selling for forty dollars a barrel or less. The price was reasonably stable, and gasoline and diesel were affordable for most drivers. Biden came into office preaching the benefits of clean energy and stopped the new drilling on and leasing of federal lands to promote it. As a result, the United States went from being an exporter of crude oil and natural gas to an importer, with a large source of imported oil being Russia. As the supply tightened, producers raised the price, and the crude that was selling for...
