Chinese state-owned television aired footage of a high-altitude balloon dropping hypersonic weapons in 2018. The stunning footage displays a high-altitude balloon, not dissimilar from the one that traversed over the United States last week, carrying three hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) into high altitude and dropping them for testing. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported on the weapons test in September 2018. The footage has since been deleted from Chinese media, but photographs and short clips can still be found online. In one post from 2018, a Twitter user shared footage from Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, which shows the balloon lifting...

A young man in perfect health passed away in his sleep just days before he turned 22. Rickson "Ricko" Williams, 21, went to bed at his home in Wallaville, Queensland, Australia, on January 11 but never woke up. His heartbroken family believe he could have died as a result of an undiagnosed heart condition after they were told he had an enlarged heart. His cause of death is still to be ascertained.

CARLSBAD, Calif. (KGTV) – An 8-year-old boy in California has woken up from a medically-induced coma after sustaining a brain injury on a trampoline last week. His entire school came together to show their support for him while he is in the hospital. Leeland Korman was jumping on a trampoline with his sister last week when their heads collided. Leeland didn’t have a scratch on him, but he did have a headache. “When he laid down for bedtime, they realized some much more severe issues. At that time, they rushed him in,” said his third grade teacher Melanie Lupica who...

NY state's hospital data of fully-vaxxed adults and children is incriminating evidence that the COVID-19 injections are bioweapons and the cause of severe COVID-19 disease and hospitalizations. ... Data from Pfizer, the FDA, and the Cleveland Clinic demonstrate that the COVID-19 mRNA injections increase the for risk COVID-19 infection, and therefore can increase the risk for severe COVID-19 disease and hospitalizations due to VAERD (vaccine-associated enhanced disease). If we follow the science and real-world evidence, this means that the mRNA injections themselves pose a threat to public safety and should be removed from communities to avoid the risk of overwhelming...

Success of enuresis alarm can be ID'd after two weeks of therapy Children with a likelihood of enuresis alarm treatment success can be identified from two weeks of treatment, according to a study. Jens Larsson, R.N. and colleagues examined predictors of enuresis alarm response in a setting reflecting clinical reality. Children with enuresis managed at pediatric outpatient wards were provided with an alarm linked to a smartphone app. Therapy was given for eight to 12 weeks or until achievement of 14 consecutive dry nights. Of the 196 recruited children, 18.4 percent were full responders, 20.4 percent were partial responders, 22.4...

According to the findings of randomized controlled trials, blood lipid levels in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) can be significantly decreased through a combination of pitavastatin and ezetimibe; however, the effects and clinical applications of this treatment remain controversial. An article objectively assesses the efficacy and safety of pitavastatin and ezetimibe in lowering blood lipid levels. Relevant studies were retrieved from electronic databases. The levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients' serum after treatment were the primary endpoint. Nine randomized controlled trials (2586 patients) met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis indicated that...

To date, health authorities in Mexico’s largely rural Durango state have documented 79 meningitis cases over the past few months. Meningitis is typically associated with painful inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, often caused by a virus or in some cases bacteria or a fungal infection. The first case of meningitis in Durango was confirmed late last year when doctors diagnosed several cases of aseptic meningitis, an especially harmful inflammation of the brain. The infected patients in Durango had all been subjected to surgeries that used spinal anesthesia in private hospitals in the sprawling state’s capital...

Among people who received more intensive treatment for high blood pressure, evaluations of MRI scans indicated a positive change in brain structures involved in its ability to clear toxins and other byproducts. The study is the first to examine whether intensive blood pressure treatment may slow, or reverse structural changes related to the volume of the brain's perivascular spaces, areas of the brain around the blood vessels that are involved in the clearance of toxins and other byproducts. "If the brain cannot properly clear toxins and metabolic byproducts, they will accumulate and may contribute to the development of dementia," said...

Only God is omniscient. We do the best we can to get things right. Many of us reach different conclusions. So we all need strong free speech. Praise The Lord. God Bless America.

Recently, Castro was called out to a house that had been experiencing damage from a local woodpecker. The bird, as they’re wont to do, had taken to creating holes in the home’s siding — holes in which to store food for later eating. In this case, that food was mostly acorns. But unfortunately for all involved, the acorns weren’t staying put. Instead, they were falling into the empty cavities inside the walls. Castro knew he’d find some acorns as he cut into the wall to dig them out. But what he wasn’t expecting was this: Castro opened more holes around...

The Biden administration is handing out flyers to our Border Patrol agents which are labeled as ‘Black Resistance’ and covered in terms like ‘black power’ and ‘Black Lives Matter.’ This is a perfect example of the priorities of the Biden admin. They care more about spreading their ‘woke’ progressive talking points than they do about protecting our southern border. The Washington Free Beacon reports: Biden Admin Distributes ‘Black Resistance’ Flyers to Border Agents The Biden administration distributed “Black Resistance” flyers to U.S. Border Patrol agents that celebrated the Black Lives Matter movement and anti-American activist Colin Kaepernick, causing a stir...

On January 6th, 2021, the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team was the team that entered the Capitol Building after the protesters did. The Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), comprised of 350 people, was established in 1983 as a counterterrorism unit at the National level and has given law enforcement agencies in the United States a “tactical” option, a military option, for the most extraordinary cases they face. The Hostage Rescue Team was initially formed as a domestic counterterrorism unit; however, after the 9/11 attacks, the team expanded its mission and began to cooperate with the Joint Special Operations Command overseas in highly-publicized...

News that the Pentagon was tracking a Chinese communist spy balloon hovering over the United States this week is raising concerns about the extent of China’s espionage efforts against America and its citizens.But just how far is the regime willing to go in order to spy on and undermine the United States?The espionage efforts of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules China as a single-party state, go much broader and deeper than mere sensor balloons. Such efforts include human intelligence gathering, transnational repression schemes, cyber theft and hacking, intellectual property theft, and even the harvesting of Americans’ genetic material.In...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement Monday that the Big Apple is dropping its mandatory COVID-19 vaccine mandate for public employees—but also said that the nearly 2,000 people fired for refusing the vax will not automatically get their jobs back and instead will have to reapply.It’s exactly this kind of capricious and cruel response that has made so many Americans distrustful of COVID policies from the Federal Government to the local level.Adams tweeted out the news:With more than 96 percent of city workers and more than 80 percent of New Yorkers having received their primary #COVID19...

The New York Post reported on this action today by John Paul Mac Isaac, the Delaware computer store repairman, whose life changed late one Friday in 2019 when Hunter stumbled into his store drunk and high and dropped off his laptop computers. Now John Paul Mac Isaac’s are threatening legal action against Hunter Biden for “knowingly using false information” to smear Mac Isaac to report an alleged crime. Hunter Biden and his attorneys may have broken the law by using false information last week to report that his laptop had been “stolen”, claim lawyers for John Paul Mac Isaac —...

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) says he is “tired of caving” on the debt limit and is dialing up the pressure on Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) not to swoop in to strike a last-minute deal with President Biden. Scott’s full-court press on McConnell is an extension of their battle last year over the leadership of the Senate GOP conference, which McConnell won in a closed-door leadership election in November. Scott tried to oust McConnell from the top Senate Republican leader’s spot after Republicans failed to win the Senate majority in November and helped lead the fight against passing the...

The narrative about "free, safe, secure elections" changed 180 degrees since November 2022. Almost nobody is crazy enough to say America has free, fair elections. After Kari Lake and Adam Laxalt, the most wimpish George Bush RINO hesitates to say "elections are fair." Since our team processed billions of election roll "snapshots" taken since 2020, we run the largest election database in the world. We concluded that U.S. elections are rigged by both parties, and they are rigged with the active help of election officials or their acquiescence.

For all of New York Mayor Eric Adams's whining about migrants rolling into his sanctuary city, inflicting unbearable costs onto taxpayers, he's quietly decided to play the same game the Texas border cities are playing. He's sending the migrants to someplace else. According to the New York Post: Disgruntled migrants fed up with the Big Apple’s crime and grime are taking off to the Great White North — on bus rides paid for by New York taxpayers, The Post has learned. National Guard soldiers have been helping distribute tickets at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan to migrants who...
