Brexit, The Protestant Reformation and The Treaty of Westphalia February 10, 2020 - Steve Matthews “There’s a historic battle going on now across the West, in Europe, America and elsewhere. It is globalism against populism. And you may loath populism, but I tell you a funny thing, it’s becoming very popular.” Nigel Farage As of January 31, 2020, Great Britain is no longer part of the European Union (EU). Britain’s success in parting ways with the EU, what is commonly called Brexit, short for British Exit from the EU, is the culmination of nearly 30 years of work by Britons...

The military contractor known as “Fat Leonard,” the mastermind behind the worst public corruption scandal in U.S. Navy history who was three weeks away from being sentenced in the case, is on the run. Leonard Glenn Francis, who has been under house arrest, cut off his GPS monitoring ankle bracelet and absconded from his San Diego home sometime Sunday morning, said Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Omar Castillo. Pretrial Services, the federal agency monitoring Francis, was alerted to an anomaly with Francis’ bracelet, and Francis’ defense team went to check on him, knowing he has a history of health issues. An...

Hydrogen is extremely useful as a rocket fuel. It’s readily available, clean, lightweight, and, when combined with liquid oxygen, burns with extreme intensity. To keep it from evaporating or boiling off, rockets fueled with liquid hydrogen must be carefully insulated from all sources of heat...venting is necessary to prevent the tank from exploding..liquid hydrogen can leak through minute pores in welded seams. When tanking SLS, the sudden influx of cryogenic hydrogen causes significant changes to the rocket’s physical structure. The 130-foot-tall (40-meter-tall) hydrogen tank shrinks about 6 inches (152 mm) in length and about 1 inch (25.4 mm) in diameter...

Have you seen President Trump's powerful 4 minute video message? Don't miss it!A NATION IN DECLINE Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to...

In a wide-ranging interview with CBS News, former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she does not plan on running for president again after losing to former president Trump in 2016. But Clinton said she plans to do "everything I can" to ensure future presidents defend democratic principles. When asked by "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell if she'd ever consider another presidential bid, Clinton replied "No, no." "But I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that we have a president who respects our democracy and the rule of law and...

Narcotics, burglary, aggravated assault, battery, vandalism, and weapon-related crimes are now commonplace in residential neighborhoods where new moms push strollers on daily walks, kids bicycle to baseball practice, runners prepare for the next marathon, elderly groups do tai chi together, neighbors walk their dogs, and families picnic.

A man accused of attacking three people — including a police officer — Monday at a Dunkin' in Epping is facing several charges. The employee was taken to a hospital, treated and released.

Researchers have discovered that treating patients who have late-stage treatment resistant melanoma with a combination of two existing drugs significantly increases their survival times. The drug repurposing trial focused on patients with end stage melanoma whose cancers had become resistant to frontline immunotherapy treatment, a class of drugs known as Immune Checkpoint Inhibiters (ICB). ICBs interfere with a cancer cells' ability to "hide" from the body's immune system allowing a patient's own body to fight cancer. The team found that by treating patients with a combination of two already approved chemotherapy drugs, Azacitidine and Carboplatin, they were able to re-sensitize...

A video clip of remarks made during a Labor Day speech in Pennsylvania by U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman (D-PA) has added additional fuel to the controversy surrounding his fitness for office following his stroke earlier this year. The clip comes as Fetterman avoided the campaign trail for most of the summer and has repeatedly sought to wiggle out of having to debate his opponent, U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz (R-PA). “Send me to Washington, D.C., to send–, so I can work with Senator Casey,” Fetterman said during his speech on Monday. “And I can champion the union way...

After six months of war in Ukraine, some observers have insisted that “we are seeing the very nature of combat change” and that tanks, along with fighter jets and warships, “are being pushed into obsolescence.” But it is too soon to write off the tank, and we should resist jumping to other sweeping conclusions about the future of warfare based on a conflict whose lessons are not yet clear. There is still much about this war that is not known from open sources, and there is good reason to think that the conditions that marked its early phases will not...

California's grid operator is calling for people to limit their electricity usage amid a historic heat wave that is straining the power system in the U.S.' most populous state. The California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which oversees the state's power grid, on Tuesday afternoon issued an "emergency alert" asking residents to use less power between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. "[R]eal-time analysis shows all resources are committed or forecasted to be in use, and energy deficiencies are expected," CAISO said in a bulletin. The grid operator expects power demand on Tuesday to rise to 52,000 megawatts, exceeding records set in...

The nonstop partisan gaslighting justifies accusations by Trump and his supporters that the Justice Department largely exists to criminalize political dissent in America. Andrew Weissmann is one weird dude, to say the least. Weissmann, an author, law professor, and MSNBC legal analyst, is a prolific user of social media—but rather than post a head shot on his Twitter bio page, Weissmann has a photo of a dog staring down a doll resembling Donald Trump lying face-up on the floor. It’s unclear if the dog is supposed to represent Weissmann, described as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s “pit bull” during the Russia...

by Samantha Foster | 24NewsJust one week after passing a law to ban all non-electric cars and trucks by 2035, and just days after begging owners of electric vehicles NOT to charge them, California has made another move that shows the catastrophic effect of their “green” hysteria.Due to the current "critical" strain on its electrical grid, California has declared a statewide grid emergency and facing the potential of rolling blackouts, California has activated four gas-powered emergency generators.You heard that right. The same Gov. Gavin Newsom who is forcing his citizens to buy only electric cars can't power his own state...

Throughout his career (as Senator, Vice-Pres., and Pres.), Joe Biden has consistently expressed his support for the New World Order (NWO). On Apr. 21, 1992, he wrote a controversial Op-Ed for the Wall Street Journal titled “How I Learned to Love the New World Order.” On Apr. 5, 2013, Biden said, “The affirmative task we have now is to actually create a New World Order.” On May 28, 2014, Biden said, “I believe we and mainly you (the Air Force Academy graduating class) have an incredible opportunity to lead in shaping a New World Order for the 21st Century.” On...

You have to see this, Lira claims that the Ukrainian offensive against Kherson has eliminated the need for Russians to conduct any kind of a large area sweep to the Dnieper after driving Ukies out of the Donbass. He calls the Kherson offensive a funnel of destruction that Ukies have too much ego investment in to give up on at this juncture.

A new study shows treating these babies with a lower dose of dexamethasone, not only leads to less time on ventilators, but notes its beneficial effects on blood circulation to the lungs, influencing better cardiorespiratory outcomes. Babies born before the 28th week of pregnancy are classed as extremely preterm. To speed up lung development and to allow weaning from ventilator support, these babies are routinely given systemic corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone (Dex), which reduces inflammation and aids ventilation. However, in high doses (5-10mg per kilo for six weeks) Dex can lead to significant thickening of the walls of the heart...

... Now, let's stop and think. We already know that capitalism is built on the principle of maximizing profit. This is what price regimes serve. High pricing means high profitability. So, when does the price of a good or service go up? One of the main reasons for this is a disorder in circulation or limited supply. The war between Russia and Ukraine caused both. First, production was globally reduced because of the pandemic. Just as the world thought we got rid of the pandemic, things are getting back on track, production will pick up, they broke out the war....

A new study suggests that lactate, a metabolic byproduct produced by cells during strenuous exercise, can rejuvenate immune cells that fight cancer. The finding could eventually be used to develop new strategies to augment the anti-tumor effect of cancer immunotherapies. "The lactate that we usually think of as a waste product appears to have a previously unrecognized role in fighting cancer," said Jinming Gao, Ph.D. To investigate, Dr. Gao gave lactate injections to mice with colon cancer or melanoma; other tumor-bearing mice received glucose injections. While glucose had little effect, tumor growth was significantly reduced in mice treated with lactate....

WASHINGTON — A judge in New Mexico on Tuesday ordered a county commissioner convicted of participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol removed from office under the 14th Amendment, making him the first public official in more than a century to be barred from serving under a constitutional ban on insurrectionists holding office.The ruling declared the Capitol assault an insurrection and unseated Couy Griffin, a commissioner in New Mexico’s Otero County and the founder of Cowboys for Trump, who was convicted earlier this year of trespassing when he breached barricades outside the Capitol during the attack. The judge’s...
