The Ministry of National Defense has set up a working group to study the tactics of the war in Ukraine, including how Ukraine has been able to hold out against Russia, and has been discussing its analysis with the US, Minister of National Defense Chiu Kuo-cheng (邱國正) said yesterday. Taiwan has raised its alert level since the Russian invasion, wary of Beijing possibly making a similar move on Taiwan, although it has reported no signs that this is about to happen. The potential impact of the Ukraine war on China’s military thinking, and how China could attack Taiwan, has been...

You have to hand it to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). She somehow seems to know exactly the wrong thing to say at any given point. She has a long history of controversial comments, perhaps most infamously when she encouraged people to get up in the face of Trump officials and “push back.”But she stepped in it, big time, recently in an encounter with homeless people in Los Angeles. Then she made it even worse with an attempt to cover up her response. The nonprofit advocacy group Fathers and Mothers Who Care was holding an event in South Los Angeles which...

Nuremberg, 1947In the 1930s, German medicine and German healthcare institutions were widely considered the most advanced in the world. However, subtle but enormously consequential shifts had been underway decades before Hitler came to power, starting with the rise of the eugenics movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1922, Alfred Hoche and Karl Binding, a psychiatrist and a lawyer, published an influential book, Allowing the Destruction of Life Unworthy of Life. A metaphor from this and other influential works captured the imagination of the German medical establishment, undermining the traditional Hippocratic ethic that had governed medicine since...

Members of Ukraine’s Parliament visited the U.S. Capitol to advocate for more aid to be sent to the Eastern European nation. The all female delegation spoke to reporters on Wednesday at the Ukrainian Embassy, where they laid out a list of what they need in terms of military equipment. Their list includes proper air defense systems and fighter jets.They went on to justify their list by saying that it’s the only way for the conflict in their country to end while referencing the city of Mariupol, which has been besieged by the Russian military.

An international team of scientists has found that soy molasses and kudzu roots contain isoflavonoids with high antioxidant and cytotoxic activity. This means they can help fight cancer, especially when chemotherapy or surgery to remove metastases may be dangerous. A description of the study is published in the journal Plants. The isoflavonoids in soy molasses and kudzu roots are phytoestrogens that mimic the action of the human hormone estrogen. They help to bind and remove from the body free radicals, which cause cell damage and disrupt immune system functions. This, in turn, leads to various diseases, including the formation of...

Since the Deep State is obviously about to kick Biden out, and since Harris is unfit to serve, it's time for discussion of one of my favorite parts of the Constitution - Amendment XXII. This rushed Amendment, hastily drafted after the death of FDR, prevents a person who has served two terms as POTUS from BEING ELECTED again. Please read it for yourselves if you doubt this. It does NOT amend or alter Article II and Amendment XII as regards eligibility to BE President - it just prevents a former President from getting back in office BY BEING ELECTED. So-...

My grandmother made a wonderful navy bean soup, and my husband makes a good one, too. Beyond those - besides a very good canned black bean soup that Goya makes - I don’t have a lot of experience with beans. But I’ve recently discovered heirloom beans, and want to broaden my bean horizons. They are supposed to be far superior to the mass-produced beans available in supermarkets, and two companies that offer many varieties are Zursun Beans in Idaho: https://www.zursunbeans.com/And Rancho Gordo in California: https://www.ranchogordo.com/I’m especially interested in the various Black Lentils offered, and the French Flageolets; and I found...

Beth Ann Rosica began writing letters to Governor Tom Wolf in April of 2020, just a couple of weeks after schools and businesses were forcibly closed across Pennsylvania in the early days of the COVID outbreak. She could never imagine those letters would turn into activism that would ultimately lead to one of the single greatest citizen victories in the country. By the spring of 2021, most Americans knew what COVID was, how it was spread, and who was vulnerable. People were suffering COVID fatigue from the endless and ineffective mandates, but none more so than kids in states like...

T The mother of Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock child broke her silence about their relationship for the first time since 2019 when she filed for a paternal DNA test, the New York Post reported Wednesday. Lunden Roberts shares a daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, with Biden. She reportedly disavowed her lawyer’s forecast that Biden would be charged with tax fraud in an interview with the outlet. “I never said that I thought Hunter would be indicted — my attorney did,” Roberts told the New York Post. His comment to media was without my authorization I might add,” she added. “I have never...

The sisters were on vacation in Michoacan and were attending a clandestine cock fight when attackers opened fire, family saysg with the funeral and everything -- having my sister in the hospital," Alex said. The family is still making funeral arrangements for Melissa. Arleth was supposed to be back in school in Warrenville next week but her family now has no idea when she will be able to return. The family said Arleth will have a long road to recovery and will likely need screws in her spinal cord. Michoacan has been the scene of a longstanding turf battle between...

Eating two or more servings of avocado weekly was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and substituting avocado for certain fat-containing foods like butter, cheese or processed meats was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease events, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association. Avocados contain dietary fiber, unsaturated fats especially monounsaturated fat (healthy fats) and other favorable components that have been associated with good cardiovascular health. Clinical trials have previously found avocados have a positive impact on cardiovascular risk...

How do we know Bruce Willis' aphasia wasn't caused by the vaccine? Nobody is talking about it. I wanted to make sure everyone knows aphasia is one of the thousands of symptoms whose reporting rates were elevated after the COVID vaccines rolled out. It’s #1574 on that sorted list of symptoms elevated by the COVID vaccine that we calculated back in November 2021. But I also very distinctly remember, very early on after the vaccines rolled out, a story from Dr. Byram Bridle of a teenage girl, perfectly healthy before getting the vaccine, who couldn’t speak shortly after getting vaccinated....

NEW DELHI (Reuters) -A significant increase in Russian oil imports by India could expose New Delhi to a "great risk" as the United States prepares to step up enforcement of sanctions against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine, a senior U.S. administration official said. While the current U.S. sanctions against Russia do not prevent other countries from buying Russian oil, the warning raises expectations that Washington will attempt to restrict other countries' purchases to normal levels. The U.S. official's comment comes ahead of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's two-day visit to New Delhi and during the ongoing visit of U.S....

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a psychiatric pathology. Current estimates suggest this disorder affects between 2% and 5% of children in Spain, and up to 4% of the adult population. Controversy surrounds the treatment of this pathology. For this reason, experts are continuing to investigate different opportunities for patients diagnosed with ADHD. A team has studied the possibility of including caffeine in the therapeutic arsenal used to alleviate some of the symptoms of ADHD, given the controversy surrounding the use of some medicines derived from methylphenidate, among others. The study concludes that a prescribed consumption of caffeine can...

Check your local listing for times. The Night of the Iguana. Richard Burton. Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr in a steamy drama set south of the border. The Sandpiper. Vincent Minnelli directs Richard Burton and Liz Taylor. I've never seen it, but I assume it's good. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe? The BEST Burton/Taylor film ever. I've always wondered if it is really possible for someone to really drink as much as they did in one night. Days of Wine and Roses.

The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision has announced they'll discharge eight thousand people on parole from supervision by March 31st. This comes after Governor Kathy Hochul signed the "Less is More Act" back in September of 2021. Eddie James Henley, who was sentenced to eight years for illegal firearm possession, says this will help move many forward. "The main reason like myself have been violated for little or nothing," Henley says. "Like curfew or perhaps marijuana in their system. They're violated, but this will alleviate these guys going back to jail for small things. Peaceprints of...

To Applebee's franchise executive Wayne Pankratz, surging gas prices are an opportunity for his business, rather than a downside. That's because, as he told managers at franchise owner Apple Central in an emailed memo, the pool of people who work at Applebee's live "paycheck to paycheck" and will be forced "back into the work force" to earn more. Pankratz also saw another silver lining: High gas prices will increase costs for competitors, who won't be able to increase wages to the extent they had been. "We all competed to hire out of the limited applicant pool and there was a...
