In the face of a potential loss of control of one or both houses of Congress, the Biden White House is wavering on the question of whether Joe Biden will host a post-election press conference signaling how he plans to work with the new, opposition Congress. Not doing such an event would be a mistake. Presidential statements after midterm election losses are now a regular part of the political landscape, and the country watches them carefully for clues regarding what lies ahead.

After casting his vote in Palm Beach, Fla., Trump told reporters that he voted for the Florida governor, who is widely seen as his biggest competition to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024. Days earlier, Trump took at jab at DeSantis at a rally in Pennsylvania, dubbing the Florida governor “Ron DeSanctimonious.” However, the former president encouraged Florida voters to support DeSantis just one day later at a rally in Miami. Trump also hinted on Tuesday that he may...

Activists find Startling “Coincidences” and Relationships A team of researchers from the Florida Republican Assembly have revealed some incredible “coincidences” in the relationships of Florida officials to the printing companies which print the ballots for Florida voters. This investigation into Florida election systems began when analysts now working with the FRA went to learn just how and why the fraud occurred in 2020. As mail-in ballots have long been a vehicle for questionable voting accuracy, (Judicial Watch has found that there are over 28 million still floating around the nation from different elections!) the team from FRA chose to begin...

Researchers found that patients who were assigned to the highest dose of the new medication saw the top blood pressure number drop by a full 20 points. Some patients with high blood pressure can't get it under control with standard medications, but a new study shows an experimental drug is up to the task of treating these tough-to-treat cases. Why do some folks struggle more with managing their high blood pressure than others? When the hypertension is caused by the hormone aldosterone, which is responsible for how much salt the body retains, it is much harder to control, researchers explained....

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Democrats needed to improve their messaging for the 2024 presidential election. Co-host Joe Scarborough asked, “So, James, we don’t know what’s going to happen today. I’m already hearing reports Democrats are feeling pretty good in some places. We’ve got a Republican Senate candidate who’s supposed to win easily. I’m hearing he’s very concerned, especially in the suburbs, that they may be breaking against Republicans. We don’t know who’s going to win. That said, looking ahead to 24, what can Democrats learn, regardless of outcome, about how...

A treatment may significantly enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, reducing the risk for lung metastasis following chemo from 52% to only 6%. The study identified the mechanism that generates a cancer-promoting inflammatory environment in response to chemotherapy. Moreover, the researchers found that by adding an anti-inflammatory agent to the chemotherapy, metastasis can be prevented. To this end, the researchers created an animal model for breast cancer metastasis. The animals received the same treatment as human patients: surgical removal of the primary tumor, then chemotherapy, followed by monitoring to detect metastatic relapse as early as possible. The...

This week, the White House touted the anticipated January boost in Social Security payments--the biggest in the past ten years--as being due to President Biden's leadership. CNN's fact-checker Daniel Dale pointed out that "the size of Social Security checks is linked, by law, to inflation. This year's increase is unusually big because the inflation rate is unusually big." Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that "contentions that legislation granting automatic benefit adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index that was signed into by former President Richard Nixon in 1972 should not get all the credit. It was the Inflation Reduction Act...

Fearing low turnout among demoralized Democrats in New York, Hollywood stars are making a last-ditch effort by appealing to potheads to support unelected incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), pushing her pro-marijuana platform as a major selling point. Like getting stoned on a regular basis? Vote for Hochul. “She has upheld the most equitable marijuana legalization in the country, giving those who suffered the most under racist laws the opportunity to benefit,” said Julianne Moore in a campaign video released late Monday.

An annual transfer of funds from rich to poor countries, starting at around $2 trillion by 2030 and rising thereafter, is needed for climate “justice” according to a U.N.-backed report released Tuesday. China has been specifically excluded from the demand for reparations, which includes taxes for fossil fuel companies on their global “carbon profits,” even as the Communist state’s greenhouse gas emissions now exceed the entire rest of the developed world combined. The first one trillion dollars alone should come from rich countries, investors and multilateral development banks, declared the analysis commissioned by Britain and Egypt, hosts respectively of the...

The Constitution confers certain free-speech protections for extremist propaganda in the U.S. that prevent authorities from exactly replicating our foreign counterterrorism strategy here at home. But there are important lessons we can and should apply. For one thing, we can exercise free speech to proclaim that the normalization of violence against politicians is dangerous and unacceptable. Some violent rhetoric might not be illegal, but it is all morally repugnant. To start with, we need to clearly identify what crosses the line into the realm of dangerous rhetoric. That means calling out those in the right-wing ecosphere who for years have...

Pennsylvania’s Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate, John Fetterman, claimed that Democrats will stage a “comeback” after election day totals favor Republicans. The senate hopeful pointed to mail-in and absentee ballots, which cannot be counted until election day under Pennsylvania law. Still, many have questioned the validity of lengthy delays in counting votes, pointing to other states and foreign nations that count more votes in a shorter window of time. “Counting for ballots cast by mail and early in-person cannot begin until Election Day, thanks to the GOP-controlled legislature — an intentional move to help Republicans baselessly sow doubt about the...
