The National Guardsman who jumped into the Rio Grande on Friday to save two illegal immigrants and then went missing, has been identified. Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin first published the photos from the soldier's family Sunday afternoon.

BALTIMORE — The Ever Forward returned Friday to the Seagirt Marine Terminal in Baltimore to pick up its containers. The ship ran aground on March 13 in the Chesapeake Bay after leaving Baltimore. The 1,095-foot vessel, which could fit three football fields end to end, did not move for 35 days. A couple of attempts in March failed to free the ship. Crews tried dredging and push/pull tugboat operations. Then, from April 9-16, hundreds of containers were off-loaded from the stuck ship so crews could try for a third time to refloat it, the Coast Guard said. Crews then refloated...

You can see it coalescing. Democrats know they are going to be slaughtered in the 2022 midterm elections, and they need to do something to stop the hemorrhage. One by one the stones fall into place as to how they plan on retaining control. It will take four steps. They need the pandemic. They need a crisis not to waste. Fauci wants the CDC to have the power to unilaterally control the country- above Congress, the President and the Supreme Court. Dr. Anthony Fauci took major heat after lamenting on Thursday that it was "disturbing" that a federal court would...

New research findings suggest that providers are poor predictors of patient satisfaction with anesthesia and perioperative comfort. Researchers discovered that only a low-level association was demonstrated between a patient and provider's satisfaction with anesthesia, even when individual measures of patient satisfaction such as pain and anxiety were isolated. Conscious anesthesia during ocular surgery is a common practice used to ease pain, discomfort and anxiety. However, there is a varying level of satisfaction among providers and patients about the effectiveness and purpose of anesthesia. Currently, there is no standard for the type or amount of anesthesia administered to a patient, so...

Does time exist? The answer to this question may seem obvious: Of course it does! Just look at a calendar or a clock. But developments in physics suggest the non-existence of time is an open possibility, and one that we should take seriously. How can that be, and what would it mean? It'll take a little while to explain, but don't worry: Even if time doesn't exist, our lives will go on as usual. A crisis in physics Physics is in crisis. For the past century or so, we have explained the Universe with two wildly successful physical theories: general...

The China-Solomon Islands security pact has triggered significant unease among the US and its Pacific allies. A US delegation openly warned the Solomon Islands’ government, saying any step to establish a permanent military presence by Beijing in the southern pacific nation would receive a strong response. Australia has issued a warning over the Solomon Islands-China security pact following significant efforts by the US and its allies to thwart the deal. On Monday, Defence Minister Peter Dutton said that Australia could only preserve peace by preparing for war. "The only way you can preserve peace is to prepare for war, and...

A Russian Olympic gymnast widely believed to be the mistress of Russian President Vladimir Putin has emerged to lead a patriotic rhythmic gymnastics festival in Moscow. Alina Kabaeva, 38, stepped out to lead her annual 'Alina Festival' at the Russian capital's VTB Arena and delivered a speech to the press in which she appeared to link the Soviet victory over Nazism in the Second World War to today's events in Ukraine. It marked a rare public appearance for the former gymnast, who is thought to be the Russian strongman's mistress and mother of four of his children whom he has...

The top brass at Hillary Clinton's defunct presidential campaign made quite a splash last week, making an 11th hour request to block the release of evidence in Special Counsel John Durham's upcoming trial against attorney Michael Sussmann by arguing it is protected by attorney-client privilege. But the sweeping requests for confidentiality — including research from former MI6 agent and opposition researcher Christopher Steele — face a high hurdle, experts told Just the News. That's because the very subjects the Clinton campaign now seeks to protect — such as its now-discredited anti-Trump research — were widely distributed without regard to privilege...

Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe predicts more indictments will come from classified documents from special counsel John Durham's investigation. "The coordinated effort here that took place in 2016 was wide and broad," Ratcliffe told the Charlie Kirk Show last week, The Epoch Times reported. "I think it involved folks in the Clinton campaign, in the Democratic national party, elected officials, media officials, folks that coordinated — intelligence community officials, and on down the line." Durham is involved in two active prosecutions stemming from his Trump-Russia collusion probe. Former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussman faces an upcoming trial...

Twitter shares surged as news emerged that Elon Musk’s takeover bid could be accepted by Twitter’s board as early as Monday. Reuters reported that Twitter’s board of directors is close to reaching a deal with the world’s richest man to sell the social media network for roughly $43 billion in cash.

But the deal might potentially fall apart at the last minute, according to the sources. Twitter’s stock jumped more than 5 percent in pre-market...

A new study demonstrates that intranasal human milk is a safe and feasible intervention for intraventricular hemorrhage, a serious cause of morbidity in preterm infants. Findings from the study will be presented during the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) 2022 Meeting, taking place in Denver. This is the first prospective trial on safety and feasibility of intranasal human milk administration in neonates with intraventricular hemorrhage. Intraventricular hemorrhage is a common cause of brain injury with potential resultant neurodevelopmental sequalae for preterm infants. Stem cell therapies are being developed as a novel brain injury treatment. Fresh human milk contains pluripotent stem cells...

Biden's low poll numbers have some Democratic operatives concerned that he could drag down the rest of the party in November's upcoming midterm elections. Last week a Gallup survey placed the president's approval rating at 41 percent, lower than all of his post-World War II White House predecessors save for Donald Trump. But in more bad news for Biden, recent head-to-head matchup polls have found him trailing his Republican rival in a 2024 rematch. The president 'wants to run and he’s clearly letting everyone know,' sources told The Hill. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said during a Sunday Meet The Press...

As food uncertainly lingers on the horizon thanks to US sanctions and government decimation of the economy during the past two years, there is another factor contributing to the problem. Since the beginning of the year, there have been several very large food processing facilities that have exploded or burned to the ground across the U.S.

Pfizer recalled one of its hypertension-treating drugs after it was found to have an increased presence of an impurity that can cause cancer. Five lots of Accupril (Quinapril HCl) tablets have been recalled due to a presence of a nitrosamine above the acceptable daily intake level. Increased intake of nitrosamines can increase the risk of cancer over long periods of time. Those currently taking the affected Accupril tablets are not at any immediate risk and Pfizer is not aware of reports of adverse events related to the recall. The product lots were distributed nationwide to wholesalers and distributors in the...

In 2014, the number of black American murder victims was 6,095. Then, after the August 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, anti-police protests and riots began, federal officials and mass media sympathetic to rioters brought heightened scrutiny to police practices, BLM began its career, "broken windows" policing was curtailed, and police morale plummeted. The number of murders thereupon began to surge, never to return to 2014 levels. The "excess" murder victims from 2015 through 2020 who were black -- that is, the additional black victims each year beyond the 2014 baseline -- add up to 11,005. Compare that...

This piece was co-authored by Mr. James Hop and Mr. Jared La Rue.Milton Friedman determined the root cause of inflation to be government monetary policy and famously opined: "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon that is produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than output (goods, services, and/or assets).” A 1976 Nobel Prize winner in Economics for his pioneering work on monetary policy, inflation, and the business cycle, Friedman established a strong correlation between excessive government spending and monetary policy, its over-stimulation of the U.S. economy and the economic contractions that followed. Unfortunately,...

Over the last several years, Davidson College’s inhospitality to freedom of thought has caught the attention of concerned alumni. Among other concerns, a group of alumni was deeply dismayed by the campus’s lack of support of, and sometimes even hostility towards, open inquiry and free expression. In 2018, these alumni formally organized themselves into an independent alumni group named the Davidsonians for Freedom of Thought and Discourse (DFTD). DFTD “seeks to ensure that a core value of Davidson is free inquiry, not indoctrination in any ideology or political viewpoint.” Since the group’s founding, the free speech climate on campus has...
