So now we have in hand documents that show just exactly how the Biden family was getting money from the Chinese Communist party, and I will tell you it’s as bad as we thought, Maria. Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo interviewed Rep. Jim Comer this morning. He is the Chair of the Oversight Committee which is under intense Democrat Party assault.

The largest study of its kind reports that active monitoring for prostate cancer has the same high survival rates after 15 years as radiotherapy or surgery. Men on active monitoring were more likely to see the cancer progress or spread than those receiving radiotherapy or surgery, but this did not affect their survival rate. The study also found that the negative impacts of radiotherapy and surgery on urinary and sexual function last much longer than previously believed, up to 12 years. Clinical trial shows that delaying treatment for localized prostate cancer does not increase mortality risk. Active monitoring of prostate...
