Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Russia that “no one will ever forgive you” for spreading terror following a series of missile attacks on New Year’s Eve. Zelensky said in an address on Saturday that the missile attacks will not mark the end of the year but the outcome of Russia’s fate in that it will not be forgiven. He mentioned that Russia launched missile attacks during the war at other holidays such as Easter and Christmas. “They call themselves Christians. They are very proud of their orthodoxy. But they are following the devil. They support him and are together with...

On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Spicer & Co.,” Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) argued that we can’t be successful in controlling drug smuggling or the flow migrants at the border “without taking on the cartel in a greater sense, with the cooperation of Mexico, we have to use tools that are at our hands in order to pressure Mexico to do more. That is the biggest challenge that we face.”

What a twisted society we have become. We stir up wars in other people's countries and praise ourselves for doing it. But there is no political reward for protecting our own people against crime and disorder on their streets and in their homes. It is no longer clear if anyone is governing the country at all, so busy are we putting other nations to rights. Burglaries go unprevented, uninvestigated and unpunished, in colossal numbers. Our capital city seethes with uncontrolled knife crime and stinks of marijuana. Christmas brings news of terrible ultra-violent crimes in supposedly peaceful suburban areas. Migrants stride...

Pyrethroids are extensively used insecticides by virtue of insecticidal activity potential in Asia, especially India, and in different nations worldwide to counter mosquitoes and insects for household or agricultural needs. The continuous widespread and uncontrolled use of pyrethroids and its derivatives have influenced multiple deleterious effects resulting in a potential risk factor causing damage to organ systems. Allethrin and prallethrin are extensively used, yet their influences on human primary cells are very limited or under-reported. The potential mechanisms by which allethrin and prallethrin modulates human primary cells, especially the molecular mechanisms or interconnectivity of autophagy-apoptosis, and their clinical relevance in...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is causally associated with lung cancer risk, according to a study. Lin Li and colleagues employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to examine the causal relationship between GERD and lung cancer. Independent single nucleotide polymorphisms that were highly linked to GERD were identified in a sample of 129,080 GERD patients. Data from genome-wide association studies were used to assess outcomes for lung cancer, including squamous cell lung cancer (LUSC) and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) in 11,348 patients. To examine the potential causative association between GERD and risk for lung cancer, three MR statistical techniques were used....

Before he enrolled in BYU, Veikoso served a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 2018-20 in Brazil. He began his college career at Arizona State.

Former President Donald Trump issued a statement in response to Democrats releasing his tax returns Friday, saying “it’s going to lead to horrible things for so many people.” The House Ways and Means Committee successfully released the tax returns after a years-long legal battle to obtain them. Trump had filed an application in October to block the committee from reviewing his tax returns, but the Supreme Court ruled against Trump in November. “The Democrats should have never done it, the Supreme Court should have never approved it, and it’s going to lead to horrible things for so many people. The...

Dood Jaussaud may have been born decades too late. Instead of being a tech junkie and up on the latest trends, the 22-year-old Thermopolis police officer lives vicariously in the past – at least as far as what he drives is concerned. Three years ago, Jaussaud began working on a classic 1957 Chevy Bel Air he bought in Columbus, Montana. Then earlier this year, Jaussaud was tipped off about a guy who might have some parts for his Chevy. “I got ahold of this guy, and he goes, ‘I don’t know anything about cars, and I don’t really have parts,...
