Today's my last day at CNN,” Harwood said in a tweet posted Friday. *snip* Last month, CNN canceled its weekly “Reliable Sources” media analysis show after three decades on the air, and host Brian Stelter left the network. The show appeared to be an early casualty in CNN’s effort to be less confrontational politically — a priority of Chris Licht, who became the network’s chairman and CEO in the spring, and his boss, David Zaslav, head of the Warner Bros. Discovery parent company. *snip* About two hours before Harwood announced he was leaving CNN, he was on-air discussing President Joe...

When the Wing first opened its doors in Flatiron in 2016 as a pioneering, women-only coworking space, it became a phenomenon. Founders Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan raised more than $100 million from investors like WeWork and Airbnb. At its peak, it had 11 locations... But things took a sudden turn the following year. In June 2020, Gelman stepped down after employees protested her leadership and alleged mistreatment of black and brown staffers. It was the beginning of the end. Earlier this week, Wing members received an email announcing that the club’s six remaining locations would be closing due to...

There are signs that Russian troops have deployed tactical nuclear weapons in the temporarily occupied Crimea, said Alina Frolova, general director of the Center for defense strategies. "This is a terrible danger not only for Europe, but also for many countries," she said during a briefing. However, this information has not yet been confirmed by any Western country that has been closely monitoring the movement of Russia's nuclear weapons since their creation. Video of the day Advertisement: 0:58 OBOZREVATEL analyzed why the issue of deploying nuclear warheads in the temporarily occupied Crimea is important for the international community and why...

Last night I got to thinking about how many posts I’ve written for Hot Air. I’ve looked at the total before but it never sticks in my mind. Big numbers seldom do. My guess was 15,000. The reality: 36,590. That’s six per day, every day. For 16 years. My takes may be terrible but I make it up on volume. This post, number 36,591, will be the last. I’m the only member left from the team that launched this site in 2006. It’s always been owned by others, first by Michelle Malkin and then by Salem Communications, but when you’re...

Joe Biden is getting all kinds of backlash from the despicable speech he delivered last night at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, attacking millions of Americans who want to “Make America Great Again” and supporting President Donald Trump.We covered some of the hot takes, with many people comparing his unprecedented attacks to Communist or Nazi-like tactics, Biden acting like the fascist he was accusing others of being. They also hit on the visuals with the improper use of the Marines and the evil blood-red backdrop.Among the hot take was Trump who chastised Biden for essentially threatening Americans and saying if Biden...

We’ve been seeing some radical things coming out of the White House. We saw Joe Biden’s extreme and despicable speech about MAGA people on Thursday. While he desperately tried to walk it back somewhat this morning, it’s too late for him to clean it up, we saw what he was promoting. It wasn’t just in the one speech but a whole policy tactic that involved the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as well. And that’s part of a larger tactic of just saying whatever they think will help their narratives, whether it has any relation to reality or not.How...

It’s a dangerous time to be a Russian oil executive lately, as eight have died since January under suspicious circumstances. Six of them were linked to state-owned giant Gazprom, while the other two were with Lukoil, the second-largest oil company in the country.The most recent oligarch to meet an untimely end was Ravil Maganov, the (now former) chair of the board of directors of Lukoil who apparently fell from a 6-story window at a Moscow hospital on September 1. His company had criticized Russia’s invasion in Ukraine in March. Hmm.This morning Ravil Maganov, head of Lukoil board of directors, fell...

The would-be assassin who allegedly pulled a gun on Argentina’s Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner had 100 bullets stashed in his home when police raided it in the wake of the shock attack. Fernando Andres Sabag Montiel, a 35-year-old Brazilian, was taken into custody after he was caught on camera pointing the loaded gun in Fernandez de Kirchner’s face outside her Buenos Aires home Thursday night.

Biden’s Covid Czar Dr. Ashish Jha on Friday said he doesn’t want life in the US to go back to normal. Dr. Jha wants to build a ‘new normal’ that has “equity” at the heart of it. The Biden Regime just says the quiet part out loud now. “I’ve heard Secretary Cardona say this over and over again. You know, people do talk about going back to normal… and I’ve heard the secretary say, ‘well, you know, normal wasn’t working out so well every-for some people,” Jha said. “So the goal in my mind is not to go back to...

A former FBI official who allegedly shut down part of the investigation into Hunter Biden was "running point" in the bureau’s dealings with a key witness in the probe, according to sources directly familiar with the matter. The witness, Tony Bobulinski, now has concerns that the former official, Timothy Thibault, helped bury information about his dealings with the Biden family that he gave the FBI, sources told the Washington Free Beacon. Thibault retired from the FBI last week amid allegations from whistleblowers that he shut down an investigation into an avenue of "derogatory" information about Hunter Biden in October 2020....

Micronutrient deficiencies can promote inflammation and render the immune system particularly sensitive to allergenic substances. In particular, iron deficiency signals danger to immune cells and leads to a more pronounced, exaggerated immune response. The background: A hyperactive immune system sets the body on alert and inhibits adequate absorption of iron—even though this is precisely the micronutrient needed to moderate the overreaction. To compensate micronutritional deficiencies in immune cells, the team developed a lozenge. The lozenge is based on whey protein beta-lactoglobulin from cows, which acts as a carrier for numerous micronutrients. "Thanks to this carrier, absorption takes place via the...

A study exploring the emerging gut-skin axis has found that microbial fermentation of dietary fiber in the gut can protect against allergic skin disease. Professor Ben Marsland showed that the fermentation of fiber in the gut by bacteria and subsequent production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), in particular butyrate, protected against atopic dermatitis in mice. "Previous work has focused on the local health benefits of SCFAs in the gut as well as at distal sites such as the lung and cardiovascular system," Professor Marsland said. "We wondered if this might also extend to the skin. The researchers fed mice a...

Well,we media folks have done it again. We've taken indisputable , recurring and conspicuous facts and buried them to create a sustainable fiction in service to nervous, cautious lies.

Thomas Weimbs published a clinical study that gives the first indication that ketogenic diets may be safe and effective in patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). The idea to use such diets originated from a mouse experiment. Giving less food to lab mice whose genomes were manipulated to give them PKD led to a vast improvement in their kidney disease. The stunning effect was the metabolic state of ketosis. Putting lab animals into ketosis using ketogenic diets, intermittent fasting, or administering the ketone beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) all produced the same effect. The result was so stark the researchers had to double...

An administrator at a posh Manhattan private school was placed on paid leave after being filmed talking about “sneaking” her Democratic views and activism into the classroom. The Trinity School also announced in a Friday letter to students and parents that an investigation will be launched into the comments made by Jennifer “Ginn” Norris, a director of student activities at the Upper East Side fixture. Norris had said that she tries to “disrupt” the school’s curriculum in a recording published Thursday by Project Veritas, a conservative outlet known for filming undercover videos to expose progressive organizations. “There’s always groups of...
