The 27 European Union member states gave final approval on Tuesday (Mar 28) to a ban on sales of new fossil fuel cars by 2035, after Germany dropped a last-minute blocking effort. The vote was a formality after ambassadors on Monday backed the milestone agreement. The majority of the bloc's energy ministers rubber-stamped the ban on Tuesday during a meeting in Brussels, with only Poland against. Bulgaria, Italy and Romania abstained.

Results from the Phase II NRG-GOG-0279 clinical study indicate that women with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva who received gemcitabine concurrently with cisplatin and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) exhibited increased rate of pathologic complete responses (pCR). This is also the first clinical trial to standardize IMRT. "Women with locally advanced vulvar cancer are currently treated with standard chemoradiation, which results in a high number of patients experiencing locoregional recurrence in their lifetime. NRG-GOG-0279 was designed to determine whether the addition of gemcitabine to cisplatin and higher doses of radiation administered with IMRT, could improve the efficacy of...

In a study, researchers found the combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy in patients with advanced or recurrent/advanced endometrial cancer resulted in a significant reduction in disease growth when compared with chemotherapy alone. Endometrial cancer, a type of cancer that begins in the lining of the uterus, is one of the few cancers with a rising incidence and death rate. In the past four decades, there have been limited advancements in treatment for patients with advanced endometrial cancer. "These results may transform the way we care for patients with advanced stage or recurrent/advanced uterine cancer. Currently, chemotherapy alone is used...

A Manhattan grand jury won’t consider evidence against former President Donald Trump in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” case again this week, The Post has learned. The move means a potential indictment of the ex-president can’t be handed up before next week at the earliest. But the panel also isn’t expected to take up the Trump case next week, sources familiar with the matter said Tuesday.

Bryan Kohberger’s two sisters were fired from their jobs over their familial relationship with their alleged killer brother, according to a report. Melissa and Amanda Kohberger were canned in the months after their brother’s arrest for the quadruple slayings of four University of Idaho students last year, NewsNation reported. “Both of Kohberger’s parents are retired and I’m told the family is in very, very bad shape financially right now especially because the sisters are now unemployed,” anchor Dan Abrams said Monday. Kohberger was given a television inside his private cell and has the freedom to choose what he watches.

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal: St Paul Knew "Nothing" About HomosexualityWhen the Church's teaching on homosexuality was “created” [by God] “the concept of homosexuality did not even exist,” Luxembourg's Cardinal Hollerich told the Croatian Glas-koncila.hr (March 27), making a fool out of himself.Croatia is still relatively Catholic. Homosexualists are trying to corrupt such relatively unpolluted areas.According to Hollerich, homosexuality is a "new word" [but an old concept]. He wants his audience to believe that people in St. Paul's time had "no idea" that homosexuality existed, despite the fact that St Paul strongly condemns this vice as do many ancient philosophers.Hollerich believes that...

It’s a bizarre crime that tore through a sleepy regional town in Victoria, Australia. A stay-at-home mom was found guilty of drugging and killing her husband by lacing his favorite lemon cookies with sleeping pills. The outback town of Walpeup in northwestern Victoria, Australia was torn in half after 68-year-old Noel Payne was killed inside his own home by his wife Rebecca Payne in 2020.

The United States State Department website says: “Israel has no greater friend than the United States.” If this is true, Israel has no friends at all. In February, Joe Biden (and the power behind him, Barack Obama) demonstrated in two obvious ways his enmity toward the Jewish state. In February, for the first time since late in Obama’s second term as president, the U.S. betrayed Israel at the United Nations Security Council. At about the same time, revealing comments from Biden’s ambassador to Israel suggested unprecedented meddling in Israel’s domestic affairs. Why is America abandoning Israel? How Netanyahu Is Making...

No sooner had word emerged that a Nashville Christian school had been attacked by a mass shooter on Monday than the Left began dissembling about guns again. The shift from “thoughts and prayers” to “grab the guns from law-abiding gun owners!” occurred at hypersonic speed. And it was all wrong. To save time, here’s a simple request by people who believe in the right to bear arms, which is explicitly guaranteed in the United States Constitution and is a God-given right. Stop lying. Try. It’s not that hard, and someone’s life depends on it. First, let’s acknowledge that gender dysphoria...

In recent weeks, Wal-Mart and Cracker Barrel have made national news by announcing that they are finally closing down their remaining locations in the Portland, Oregon area. Less well known among Portland’s recent closures are the NOLA Doughnuts bakeries and the Green Zebra grocery chain, which had three locations each until forced to shut down operations this winter. And they aren’t alone. The brick-and-mortar retail world – from restaurants and coffee shops to clothing and housewares stores – has always been a difficult business. Locations open and close all the time, even in the best of economies, so economy-watchers are...

OK, Zoomers! Most Americans view TikTok as a national security threat and believe the US should ban the Chinese social media app — unless they are younger than 30 years old. A CBS News/YouGov poll in March found just 39% of Gen Z US adults aware of TikTok between the ages of 18 and 29 are in support of an outright ban. Eighty-three percent of adults over the age of 65 who know about TikTok want to ban the app, along with 65% of adults between 45 and 64 years old and 55% of adults between 30 and 44 years...
