In work published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers—led by the University of Minnesota Medical School and School of Public Health—have found that metformin, a commonly prescribed diabetes medication lowers the odds of emergency department visits, hospitalizations, or death due to COVID-19 by over 40 percent—and over 50 percent if prescribed early in onset of symptoms. The study also found no positive effect from treatment with either ivermectin or low-dose fluvoxamine. "We are pleased to contribute to the body of knowledge around COVID-19 therapies in general, with treatments that are widely available," said Carolyn Bramante, MD, principal investigator...

Mike Pence's aides ensured all government documents were indexed and boxed up before he left office. Two of his top aides oversaw the process, The New York Times reported. The process falls distinctly out of line with reports of Trump's handling of government documents. Former Vice President Mike Pence was organized about making sure all White House documents were preserved and packed up, The New York Times reported on Saturday. His aides, according to The Times, ensured all documents were indexed and boxed up. His chief of staff and his counsel — Marc Short and Greg Jacob, respectively — oversaw...

"When they aren’t locking us down, making us mask, taking our jobs, forcing shots into us (via coercion and threats*), grooming our kids, pushing us to switch to a bug based diet, or any of their other hobbies the left are pretty nice for demons. Oddly they don’t look like the kind of people who would regularly eat bugs themselves…yet they insist you do that, live in a pod (or a ‘tiny home’) and now they intend to clone you for spare parts. An Israel based biotechnology company is in search of ‘novel’ “forms of ways” to live longer (they...

New Delhi: India is in an advanced stage of negotiations with the US to procure 30 MQ-9B Predator armed drones at a cost of over USD 3 billion to crank up its overall surveillance apparatus along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China and in the Indian Ocean, people familiar with the development said on Sunday. The long-endurance-hunter-killer drones are being procured for the three services as they can carry out a variety of roles including maritime surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, over-the-horizon targeting and hitting stationary ground targets. The MQ-9B drone is a variant of MQ-9 "Reaper" that was reportedly...

Liz Cheney is now revered by the left thanks to her attacks on Donald Trump. The left professes to admire her integrity and courage nut the truth is that Liz Cheney is a grifter. In her recent concession speech she said she'd work to keep Trump from being reelected: “I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.” That may sound familiar to you. Very familiar. In 2016 she said this about Hillary Clinton: "...we've gotta do everything possible to make sure they never get anywhere near the Oval...

"He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him." "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." "So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus." John, Chapter 7 1 After these things...

Hundreds of migrants being bused to New York may turn into thousands thanks to the selfie trend, Todd Bensman wrote for the New York Post this week. Smart phones have played a huge role in migration with people in Guatemala, Honduras, and Venezuela using online sites that “serve as a real-time intelligence network,” Bensman, who is the senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, continued:

A federal appeals court ​on Sunday halted Sen. Lindsey Graham’s testimony before the grand jury investigating possible illegal efforts by allies of former President Donald Trump’s to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, acting on a request by the South Carolina Republican, temporarily blocked a decision by a federal judge in Atlanta that rejected Graham’s claim of congressional immunity and ordered him to appear before the special grand jury on Tuesday. ​ The three-panel appeals court returned the matter to ​US District Judge Leigh Martin May​ ​to decide whether the subpoena...

A deeper, controversial Homily on today's Gospel reading that we still ask even today. In not giving us a direct answer as Jesus didn't, the Bishop highlights how we must "strive" to truly seek that answer. 13 min. YouTube link below:How Many Will Be Saved?

There is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. The political fiction that humans cause most or all climate change and the claim that the science behind this notion is ‘settled’, has been dealt a savage blow by the publication of a ‘World Climate Declaration (WCD)’ signed by over 1,100 scientists and professionals. There is no climate emergency, say the authors, who are drawn from across the world and led by the Norwegian physics Nobel Prize laureate Professor Ivar Giaever. Climate science is said to have degenerated into...

This past week Letitia James threatened a Christian Church for hosting a Trump-friendly event. The woman is a lawless marxist. The Legal Insurrection Foundation obtained a copy of the letter that James sent to Cornerstone Church (addressed to General Michael Flynn and event organizer Clay Clark), dated August 3, 2022. The letter begins by reminding the church that James is “New York’s top law enforcement officer” and has “significant concerns that the ReAwaken American Tour…could spur extremist or racially motivated violence.” (Part of the Letter) The letter also singled out the content of the future speech as being objectionable to...

A team of citizens led by Marly Hornik conducted an extensive audit of the 2020 election results for New York and uncovered evidence of massive election fraud, including unlawful election acts, misconduct of election officers, phantom registrations and illegal voting—all of which “materially affected elections in the state.” Hornik said “the fact that the certified count of 8,690,614 votes differed from the 8,418, 179 persons who were reported to have voted was the inspiration for our in depth study of the data. We discovered a hidden algorithm that appears to have calculated the number of votes needed to reverse the...

An ailing Vladimir Putin is flailing over his war strategy, torn between using nuclear weapons and accepting defeat and handing back Ukrainian regions invaded by his forces, a Telegram channel claims. Amid fresh concerns over his health, his security officials have bluntly told the warmonger president that he has run out of 'good' options. This comes as the death toll in the Russian armed forces plus separatist fighters and pro-Putin private armies has reached almost 65,000, said General SVR Telegram channel, an opposition source offering 'insider' information which the Kremlin is 'seeking to shut down'. There is 'despondency' among Putin’s...

Hydrogen has long been touted as the solution to cleaning up road transport. When used in fuel cells, the only emissions from its use are water, and it eliminates the slow recharging problem of battery-electric vehicles. It’s also been put forth as a replacement for everything from natural gas supplies to laptop batteries. Toyota has been pushing hard for hydrogen technology, and has worked to develop vehicles and infrastructure to this end. The company’s latest efforts involve a toteable hydrogen cartridge – letting you take hydrogen power on the go! For all its benefits, hydrogen is a bit of a...

On a warm Friday afternoon, a large crowd of young men walked along 28th Street near USC wearing sneakers, colored shorts and lanyards imprinted with their names as they visited one fraternity house after another. They were welcomed by other young men dressed in colorful T-shirts branded with their fraternity name and graphic designs — one showed a hand wrapped around a glass bottle, another played off the "Kill Bill: Vol. 2" movie poster that featured a blond woman brandishing a sword. Another showed a retro image of a woman in formal attire being offered a bottle of soda —...
