A conservative judge who was heckled at Stanford Law School has claimed student protestors screamed that they hoped his daughters would be raped before the equity dean ambushed him in 'a staged public shaming'. Fifth Circuit Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan, 51, who was appointed by Donald Trump, was asked to give a speech at the famous law school last week about the circuit's Court of Appeals by the student chapter of the Federalist Society. However, when he arrived at the school, he was met by around 100 students yelling obscenities at him, including one protester who told him: 'We hope...

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Wagner Group, on Wednesday intensified his angry attacks on the Russian Defense Ministry, charging Kremlin officials of intentionally preventing his fighters from capturing Bakhmut out of jealousy over his military successes. The authorities’ decision to deny Wagner ammunition, according to the “Putin’s Chef” mercenary boss, has slowed the bloody campaign to capture Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. Prigozhin claimed that the objective is clear in Putin’s mind which is that he can’t let PMC Wagner capture Bakhmut. His remarks, which he made on Wednesday during an interview with several Russian media sources, are the most recent...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is gearing up for a run for President. But today’s silence about New York’s prosecutorial abuse against President Trump is not helping him one bit. President Trump is crushing all other candidates from either party in polls for the 2024 Presidential race. Joe Biden is a disgrace and the most hated person to ever step into the White House. And this is before the upcoming economic meltdown. President Trump is leading all GOP candidates for President and hopefuls. Many people believe Ron DeSantis should back President Trump to bring the party together. But DeSantis’s actions to...

On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” George Washington University Law Professor and Fox News Contributor Jonathan Turley stated that the potential legal case against former President Donald Trump is significantly weaker than the John Edwards case and that he believes that if Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg brings charges, it would be because Bragg caved to public pressure. Turley said, “[T]he John Edwards case, that was a much stronger case, the Department of Justice went all in, and they lost, ultimately. Because these are very difficult cases to make out. Now, you take that, and now...

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg is apparently planning to indict Donald Trump on a charge that he must know won’t stick. He dropped this very case a few months ago and is only reviving this turkey of a case because of political pressure. Andrew McCarthy, former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, writing in the National Review, explains why Bragg cannot possibly win this case. It is based on a payment of hush money to Daniels and a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to prevent her from speaking in public. But McCarthy points out: “a tryst...

An indictment of former President Donald Trump could lead to him becoming elected President of the United States again, leading conservatives, led by filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, have said.“If the Democrats want action, let’s have it. Time to retaliate against a gratuitous #TrumpIndictment by filing impeachment articles against President Biden. The trial provides a unique opportunity to expose the China sellout and full corruption of the #BidenCrimeFamilly,” the political commentator said.

Michael Cohen has warned that Donald Trump may be looking to stir up controversy and a "violent clash" after revealing that he expects an arrest ahead of a potential indictment. "Donald’s post is eerily similar to his battle cry prior to the January 6th insurrection; including calling for protest," Cohen told The New York Post Saturday. "By doing so, Donald is hoping to rile his base, witness another violent clash on his behalf and profit from it by soliciting contributions." Trump posted on Truth Social that he expects an arrest in Manhattan on Tuesday as the District Attorney’s Office seeks...

Former reality TV star Josh Duggar has had his 12 and a half-year prison sentence extended by almost two months, as he sits in solitary confinement for having an illegal cell phone. Duggar, 34, was arrested in April 2021 after a Little Rock police detective found images of child abuse which had been shared by a computer traced to the '19 Kids and Counting' personality. Investigators claim the images were downloaded in 2019 onto a computer at a car dealership owned by Duggar, which prompted federal agents to search Wholesale Motorcars in November 2019. Duggar pleaded not guilty to one...

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova on Saturday indicated that lifting all anti-Russia sanctions and canceling all claims against Moscow in international judicial instances should be an intrinsic part of a peace settlement in Ukraine. -snip- "the cancellation of all illegal sanctions and lawsuits against Russia in international courts should become an integral part [of this settlement]," Zakharova said in a statement.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Saturday called for an immediate investigation following former President Donald Trump’s assertion that he will be arrested next week based on “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. “Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump,” McCarthy said.

Scientists have uncovered a mechanism by which exercise activates metabolic benefits in the body, according to a new study. It's well known that exercise elicits many health benefits. However, how this is accomplished is not yet well understood. During exercise, autophagy, the body's cellular recycling system that allows old or damaged cellular structures to be broken down, is activated in both contracting muscles and various non-contracting organs, such as the liver. Investigators performed proteomic analyses on the blood of mice before and after exercise. They identified a protein secreted from contracting muscle, FN1, which significantly increased in the plasma and...

Strange days, indeed. Despite endless promises from Washington DC that there would never be another bank bailout, the Biden Administration bailed out Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) by removing the $250,000 cap on deposit insurance. Then Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen added that in the future, only banks that posed SYSTEMIC RISK to the economy will be bailed out. Translation: only the big four Too Big To Fail (TBTF) banks will be bailed out. Meaning that the Biden Administration prefers big banks to community banks. “Middle-class Joe” loves BIG Pharma, BIG defense, BIG tech, BIG media and now BIG banks. He should...

Maryland Delegate Charlotte Crutchfield (D-Montgomery) has introduced the Youth Accountability and Safety Act (HB1180). This bill would lessen the penalty for murders committed by persons below the age of 26 as long as the killing takes place during the commission of a rape or carjacking. Crutchfield explained that “persons under the age of 26 aren’t mentally mature enough to know the difference between right and wrong. Consequently, a distressing number of them commit murders that ruin their lives. I want these youngsters to have a chance to rehabilitate themselves. They can’t do that if they’re executed or sent to prison...

Matcha can boost mood and mental performance in humans and mice alike. Researchers evaluated the anti-depressive effects of Matcha tea powder in mice. The powder activates dopaminergic neural circuits and improves depression in certain mice, depending on the animal's prior mental state. Although the onset of depression varies among individuals, it is believed that the disease commonly stems from a reduction in dopamine in the brain. Dopamine plays an important role in elevating one's mood. And while various antidepressants have been developed to counter the effect of low dopamine, these have many side effects. Consumption has shown to improve anxiety-like...

These folks engineering a much better way to deliver your basically anything.VIDEO This is pretty cool.
