Green obsessions have pushed energy costs through the roof, with pump prices dropping slightly only because Americans have had to restrict their driving. The left’s open-border policies have waved more than...

Anthony Fauci, loved and hated, plots his next move: ‘I'm not going to sit in my house’In a candid exit interview, the NIAID head reflects on the seven presidents he served, controversial decisions, and feuding with Rand Paul In 1984, when Anthony Fauci took over as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), his wife gave him a plant for the new office. Both the palm and the 81-year-old physician are still there, the giant plant now crowding the office of one of the most celebrated—and polarizing—scientific figures in U.S. history.

Though it's not clear how diabetes may be related to hearing loss, many people experience both conditions simultaneously.

Even for the 133 million people with prediabetes, the rate of hearing loss is 30% higher than in those with normal blood sugar. The reason may be that high blood sugar levels...

Others disagree, I get it. Now on to today's Fake Account...
