    J.D. Vance, the newly minted Republican Senate nominee in Ohio, will speak at a rally alongside Donald Trump in Pennsylvania on Friday as the former president looks to get another one of his endorsed candidates, celebrity physician Mehmet Oz, across the finish line in that state’s GOP Senate primary. Vance captured the Republican Senate nomination in Ohio on Tuesday, beating out a crowded primary field after scoring Trump’s endorsement late last month. His victory was seen as a win for Trump, who has sought to leverage his influence among GOP voters to get his preferred candidates elected this year. Trump...

    Twitter users ripped into The New York Times after the liberal newspaper wrote an extensive piece attempting to paint tech billionaire Elon Musk as a man with immense "white privilege" in an apartheid South Africa riddled with "misinformation" and racism. On Thursday, The Times tweeted the article along with the commentary, "Elon Musk grew up in elite white communities in South Africa, detached from apartheid’s atrocities and surrounded by anti-Black propaganda. He sees his takeover of Twitter as a free speech win but in his youth did not suffer the effects of misinformation." Meanwhile, reporter John Eligon promoting the piece,...

    The researchers broke the students into different groups based on how much time they had spent attending in-person school during 2020-21 — the academic year with the most variation in whether schools were open. On average, students who attended in-person school for nearly all of 2020-21 lost about 20 percent worth of a typical school year’s math learning during the study’s two-year window. Some of those losses stemmed from the time the students had spent learning remotely during the spring of 2020, when school buildings were almost universally closed. And some of the losses stemmed from the difficulties of in-person...

    Dr. Mehmet Oz faced a devastating wave of news on Wednesday as two separate stories broke that could threaten his bid to become the Republican Party’s nominee for a U.S. Senate seat out of Pennsylvania.The first problematic story for Oz, who is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Turkey, came from an ABC News report about his political involvement in elections in Turkey.“The television star has largely shied away from discussing his ties to Turkey, where he maintains citizenship, and dismissed criticism from political opponents that he harbors any so-called ‘dual loyalties,'” ABC News reported. “But a photograph of...

    The story behind the jazz legend’s final hit and, quite simply, one of the most beautiful songs ever written.The legendary New Orleans singer and trumpeter Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong had been making records since 1923, but in February 1968, at the age of 66, he released “What A Wonderful World,” which would become the biggest-selling song of his long and storied career. Though renowned as one of the pioneers of Dixieland-style jazz in the 1920s, Armstrong was no stranger to the pop charts in the 1960s, having topped Billboard’s Hot 100 with the Grammy-winning single, “Hello Dolly,” in 1964. But “What...

    Krill oil may be beneficial to muscle function and size in healthy people over the age of 65, according to new research. The study found that krill oil supplementation of four grams per day could have beneficial effects on skeletal muscle function and size in this age group. The research found that healthy adult participants who had received daily krill oil supplementation for six months showed statistically and clinically significant increases in muscle function and size. Krill oil contains high concentrations of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which previous scientific studies have shown are important nutrients for the...

Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said folding the two together came up during a closed-door lunch this week. “I know Chuck wants to move a Ukraine package and put COVID in with it,” Durbin said, referring to Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.

    LA's woke DA George Gascon will not pursue felony charges against the attacker who stormed Dave Chappelle's Hollywood Bowl concert with a bayonet, reducing the charges to misdemeanor instead. Isaiah Lee, 23, ran on stage at the show on Wednesday yielding the knife that was hidden inside a gun. Chappelle, 48, was able to sidestep him and was unharmed. The attacker was then arrested at the scene, and taken to hospital with a broken arm. There were immediate questions over security at the event and how the man could have smuggled in the weapon. But Gascon's office - which is...

    As the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported, all of the patients tested negative for the hepatitis A, B, and C viruses, and also tested negative for COVID-19. They did test positive for adenovirus, a common family of at least 50 different viruses—including the common cold—that typically cause respiratory symptoms, but can also cause intestinal problems. Seven of the nine pediatric patients were suffering from vomiting or diarrhea before admission, and five of the nine tested positive for adenovirus 41—one of the strains known to affect the gut. None of the children were immunocompromised, none suffered...

    Washington Post ^ | 05/04/2022 | Nathan Diller
    In the weeks since a federal judge in Florida struck down the federal mask mandate for planes and other transportation settings, Americans have met the change with a mix of excitement and concern. Some travelers welcomed the news, even cheering on planes when pilots announced the ruling. For others, the prospect of flying with unmasked seatmates has been a source of anxiety. The Justice Department said it would appeal the decision, but the rule has been dropped for the time being. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends wearing a mask on flights. If you are nervous about...
  • Cutting calories and eating at the right time of day leads to longer life in mice (35% longer life if only eating reduced calorie diet during most active part of the day)

    One recipe for longevity is simple to follow: eat less. Studies in a variety of animals have shown that restricting calories can lead to a longer, healthier life. Now, new research suggests that the body's daily rhythms play a big part in this longevity effect. Eating only during their most active time of day substantially extended the lifespan of mice on a reduced-calorie diet, Joseph Takahashi and colleagues report. In his team's study of hundreds of mice over four years, a reduced-calorie diet alone extended the animals' lives by 10 percent. But feeding mice the diet only at nighttime, when...
  • Moderna Blows Out First-Quarter Earnings Expectations, Triples Covid Vaccine Sales ($21 Billion in 'Vaccine'S ales)

    CNBC ^ | MAY 4 2022 | Spencer Kimball
    Moderna sold $5.9 billion of its Covid vaccine in the first quarter, blowing out revenue and profit expectations. The biotech company’s shares soared by more than 7% in premarket trading Wednesday before falling. Its stock was down modestly in afternoon trading. Moderna maintained its full-year guidance of $21 billion in Covid vaccine sales. That guidance is based on signed agreements with governments and does not include any orders from the U.S., so the final number could come in higher. However, CFO David Meline said there is uncertainty in the 2022 sales guidance. COVAX, an international alliance that helps procure shots...

Guiseppe Canzani, 41, who is facing murder charges in the broad-daylight shooting of 51-year-old Anna Torres on Wednesday, had gotten into a dispute with her outside the Queens home in recent days, the sources told The Post. He told cops he shot Torres “because she was a witch” and that she had put a spell on him and cursed him, one source said....
