This is the most disappointing speech I have ever watched. What happened to her? I thought her job was to rebut the lies and obfuscations of Brandon. All I heard was stories about her time with The Donald.

A review of clinical trials has found that higher vitamin D intake was associated with a 15 percent decreased likelihood for developing type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin available in or added to some foods, as a supplement, or produced by the body when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin. Vitamin D has many functions in the body, including a role in insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. Observational studies have found an association between having a low level of vitamin D in the blood and high risk for developing diabetes. Researchers conducted...

Denis Pushilin, acting governor of DPR accuses ukes of chem warfare usage No response from Kremlin so far; the idea seems to be let's figure our wtf is happening and then say/do something about it if evidence require it.

People living with a spouse seem to have a higher likelihood of being healthy in terms of maintaining lower blood sugar levels regardless of how harmonious or acrimonious their relationship is, suggests a study. Previous studies have suggested there are health benefits from marriage and/or cohabiting, particularly for older adults. There are also studies that have concluded that type 2 diabetes risk is associated with a number of social health dimensions including social isolation, loneliness, and social network size. They used biomarker data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA)—a population-based sample of adults aged 50 years and older...

Here’s the real State of the Union. Over the past two years under Biden, millions and millions of illegal aliens from 160 different countries have stormed across our Southern border. Drug cartels are now raking in billions of dollars from smuggling poison to kill our people and to kill our children.

Deputies said that when they told Holt he would be arrested, Holt admitted...

@mikelindell : Ron Desantis Is "Totally Disqualified" From A 2024 Presidential Run For His Attack On Free And Fair Elections

TOKYO -- Former U.S. President Donald Trump was "unconventional through and through," while Chinese President Xi Jinping was a "fierce realist." This is how former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe describes the two leaders in a posthumous memoir that goes on sale in Japan on Wednesday. Abe provided an in-depth look into his interactions with global leaders in the book, which is a collection of 18 interviews he gave after stepping down in October 2020. Abe, who was assassinated while campaigning in Nara Prefecture in July last year, is the longest-serving Japanese prime minister, with his eight years and eight...

Many Americans eagerly look forward to a time when they can stop working and officially set their status to “retired.” But when asked what age they anticipate that could be, there isn’t a consensus. The average age when people say they hope to retire is 62, according to one survey. SNIP Meanwhile, the House of Representatives last week approved a retirement bill that would push out the age for required minimum distributions on certain savings accounts to 75, up from the current age of 72. That change, if it passes the Senate, would be gradually phased in by 2032. SNIP...

On Feb 7 2020, I published a montage of images from the 2020 State Of The Union Address. You can see it by clicking on the micro-movie in the link in red above. In that speech POTUS 45 said the following things: "Our agenda is relentlessly pro-worker, pro-family, pro-growth, and, most of all, pro-American. ....... The unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century. ....... Under the last administration, more than 10 million people were added to the food stamp rolls. Under my administration, seven million Americans have come off food stamps, and 10 million people have been...

Bitcoin mines, forced labor camps where children make smartphones."Disney+ removed an episode of Simpson (again) in Hong Kong due to reference of China’s forced labor camp. This is...

“The western territories of Ukraine will be safe if they temporarily come under the protectorate of the Polish state.” Polish Prime Minister Matteusz Morawiecki.

Somehow I missed this story, but my colleague-by-extension Madeline Leesman at Townhall picked it up.A Professor at SUNY-Fredonia has been arguing–for decades now–that pedophilia should be legalized and that it isn’t immoral at all. It’s like playing kickball or other sports, and if kids consent to the sex there is no clear moral reason that it is wrong or should be prohibited.Yikes!🚨🚨🚨 Professor says an adult wanting to have sex with a kid is accepted as being wrong but “it’s not obvious to me that it is in fact wrong” pic.twitter.com/ygC5nuHDNa— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) February 2, 2022The video was...

Chicago’s next mayoral election is quickly approaching, scheduled for the 28th of this month. Most of the polls indicate that the incumbent mayor, Lori Lightfoot, is not doing well and she might not be given another term. That wouldn’t be a terribly surprising result, given the soaring crime rates and the generally decrepit state of the Windy City these days. If that’s the case, who will replace her? Interestingly enough, one of the current frontrunners is a man named Paul Vallas. What makes him unique among Chicago Democrats is his history of being opposed to abortion and his promises to...

Trans activists occupy the Oklahoma Capitol Building to protest the protection of minors from "gender-affirming" surgeries (2/6/23). (Credit: Jack Pobosiec/Twitter) I’ve got some news. Storming government buildings is good again, at least if you are a purple-haired trans activist stumping for the cultivation of children.The scene happened on Monday in Oklahoma after a large group of “Trans Lives Matter” protesters occupied the state’s Capitol Building. Videos of the incident went viral, showing the chanting horde demanding that lawmakers not do things like mandate schools notify parents when children “transition” their gender.Militant #trans activists occupied Oklahoma Capitol on Monday to...

It’s a tool and like any other tool it can be misused Hollywood has long speculated about the impact artificial intelligence (AI) will have on the future of human civilisation. Increasingly, scientists and philosophers have been forced to interrogate this topic themselves. Will people be put out of a job? Could AI ever become sentient? Will the human race survive? The latest popular addition to the world of AI is ChatGPT — a text generator so smart it can explain its own existence to you. No joke. I asked ChatGPT to give me a brief summary of ChatGPT and it...

Last year, before the 2022 midterm elections, California Governor Gavin Newsom decided that taxpayers should receive a Gas Tax refund payment. In his infinite wisdom, His Hairfulness decided that instead of listening to the demands to suspend the excessive gas taxes in the state to alleviate people’s pain at the pump, he’d give away money that the state really didn’t have in a one-time, temporary measure.A one-time check that taxpayers didn’t ask for, in an amount and time that did little to alleviate the pain—what could go wrong?Well, the state Franchise Tax Board won’t require taxes be paid on the...

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who serves on House Foreign Affairs Committee, was, to say the least, unimpressed by the Biden administration’s classified briefing on the China spy balloon and blasted the briefing as “unspecific, insufficient, and backward-looking.” Senior administration officials conducted the briefing in a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF). Not only did the briefing fail to provide adequate information on the spy balloon that was shot down, but no evidence of Chinese spy balloons taking place during the Trump administration was presented. “What I took away from this briefing confirmed that this administration and not the previous one had...
