CHINA has vowed to "fight to the death" as warships, tanks and fighter planes have been deployed amid fears war could explode over Taiwan. Beijing is furious and has threatened to take action as it accuses the US of provoking them over the breakaway island, which the Communist Party has long claimed belongs to China. The resolve on both sides is now being stretched to breaking point as one of the most senior politicians in the US, Nancy Pelosi, has touched down on in Taiwan. She is second-in-line to the presidency, behind only Vice President Kamala Harris, and is a...

Programs in countries around the world have begun quietly compensating people who have been injured by or died as a result of the COVID-19 vaccines.Humans are biologically diverse, with respect to both genetic makeup and past environmental exposures. Because of this, explained neurologist Dr. Robert Lowry, people can react very differently to the same medication or vaccination. Whenever a new drug or biologic hits the market, some people will have bad reactions and others may even suffer serious adverse events as a result.Even under the best testing conditions, rare reactions will be missed. This is especially true for any product...

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) threats in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) trip to Taiwan are merely posturing.Speaking to Fox News, Gingrich said a similar scenario unfolded in 1997 when he visited both China and Taiwan. He was the last speaker to visit the self-governing island country.At the time, CCP officials invited Gingrich to deliver speeches in Beijing and Shanghai but their rhetoric changed when he mentioned visiting Taiwan. For decades, the CCP has claimed Taiwan is its territory despite it being a functionally democratic and independent state since 1949.Gingrich, a Republican,...

Our society suffers from a very odd disease, and no, it’s not Monkeypox or COVID-19. It’s the absolute refusal to admit the truth when it’s staring you in the face.For a time, you couldn’t say the vaccines didn’t work. You couldn’t even discuss how other medications might help your COVID-19 infection along. You can’t call a man a man when he thinks he’s a woman. You can’t even call a recession a recession.Now, our society refuses to label the monkeypox outbreak what it is; a disease primarily suffered by the homosexual community.Here are the facts.According to a study in the...

Prepare for an exploding supply of used automobiles… And like most economic disruptions these days, it’ll be thanks to the pandemic.COVID-19 brought about never-imagined lifestyle changes. Families that used to live in crowded apartments and concrete jungles made the move to suburban areas with yards and trees. And trains, subways, and shuttle buses were no longer reliable forms of transportation.Everyone needed cars.This change in demand (along with global supply-chain issues) made cars a precious commodity. Prices nearly doubled as a result.But recent indicators show the car market’s strength is starting to fade. And for the first time in years, prices...

Does eating more red and processed meat raise the risk of cardiovascular disease? Despite intense study, the impact of animal source foods on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is vigorously debated, and effects remain unclear. A study quantifies the risk of ASCVD associated with meat intake and identifies underlying biologic pathways that may help explain this risk. The study shows higher meat consumption is linked to higher risk of ASCVD—22 percent higher risk for about every 1.1 serving per day—and that about 10 percent of this elevated risk is explained by increased levels of three metabolites produced by gut bacteria from...
