Bryan Johnson's Project Blueprint is an initiative aimed at 'maximally slowing your pace of aging and reversing the aging that occurs'A tech mogul who’s spending millions in the pursuit of perpetual youth has received blood from his 17-year-old son in what the eccentric multimillionaire is describing as the world’s first multi-generational plasma swap. Bryan Johnson’s young-blood exchange took place in early April, as Bloomberg first reported, when the 45-year-old California entrepreneur, described as the most measured human on earth, arrived at a medical spa and wellness centre in Texas with his son, Talmage, and his own 70-year-old father, Richard.

Sometimes a story comes across the wire that’s so unbelievable, that I have to double-check the link to make sure it’s not a parody site. That happened on Thursday morning when a new report dropped detailing how Hunter Biden will defend himself against a possible gun charge brought by the DOJ. Hunter Biden is facing multiple charges related to alleged tax fraud and lying on a gun purchase form. A charging decision is expected to occur soon, though, the DOJ has continued to slow-walk the final decision for reasons that some suspect are political. The president’s troubled son swore under...

The Biden administration on Friday ordered a 20-year ban on new oil and gas drilling leases within 10 miles of the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico, according to multiple reports. The moratorium — which the Department of Interior initially began considering in November 2021 — is a long-sought goal of several local politicians, conservation groups and Native American tribes that want to preserve the centuries-old Pueblo ruins located there, although some tribes have opposed the ban for limiting future economic opportunities, according to E&E News. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, herself New Mexican and the nation’s first Native...

Returning to the roots: Orthodox church to celebrate Latin Mass (Cannot be posted, per FR rules)

In the San Francisco area last week, a district attorney downgraded the charges against five people who desecrated the statue of a saint on Catholic church grounds from felonies to misdemeanors. In Washington state, the Justice Department last month recommended no jail time for a transgender person who defaced church property and assaulted a church employee. In Washington, D.C., a man who destroyed the statues of three saints at a Catholic school appears to have pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor that allowed him to avoid serving his prison sentence. With high-profile attacks on Catholic churches and organizations on the rise...

ASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's administration accused the National Rifle Association of wanting to use involuntary commitment laws “to round up mentally ill people and deprive them of other liberties,” according to documents drafted by the Republican's staffers as part of their initial attempt to pass a gun control proposal earlier this year. The memos, provided by Lee's office as part of a public records request, reveal a rare criticism of the powerful gun lobby made by the Republican governor. Lee has previously praised the NRA's efforts to protect the Second Amendment but has since faced opposition...

Five hundred cots have been set up and ready for use at a cavernous warehouse at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens as Mayor Eric Adams’ administration awaits federal approval to convert the space into a migrant shelter. New York City is bursting at the seams to house 45,800 asylum seekers in the 170 emergency sites that have been set up across the five boroughs. An additional 4,800 asylum seekers arrived at city shelters over the last two weeks alone, said mayoral spokesperson Kate Smart this week. The beds at JFK’s Building 197 and multiple trailers outfitted with showers...

Fans haven’t lost that lovin’ feeling for her. Legendary songwriter Cynthia Weil, the muse behind “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” and countless other hits, passed away Thursday evening at 82. Weil’s daughter Dr. Jenn Mann confirmed the icon’s death in a statement to TMZ. “My mother, Cynthia Weil, was the greatest mother, grandmother and wife our family could ever ask for,” she wrote. “She was my best friend, confidant and my partner in crime and an idol and trailblazer for women in music.” As of yet, the cause of death has yet to be revealed. Born in 1940 in New...

Don’t look now, but Hillary Clinton is still lurking in the weeds, waiting for Joe Biden to stumble. Literally. The former Secretary of State insists she’s not running for president again, but has offered only a tepid endorsement of Biden while raising questions about his age. “I obviously hope he stays very focused and is able to compete in the election,” Clinton said condescendingly of the 80-year-old President. “Because I think he can be re-elected and that’s what we should all hope for.” But Clinton even agreed that falling is a potential health risk for Biden, and did not dismiss...

Crucial science topics will no longer be taught to a large swath of Indian students, according to new government guidance. Most young learners in India will no longer be exposed to key science topics in school textbooks — unless they voluntarily major in science in higher classes. On June 1, India cut a slew of foundational topics from tenth grade textbooks, including the periodic table of elements, Darwin's theory of evolution, the Pythagorean theorem, sources of energy, sustainable management of natural resources and contribution of agriculture to the national economy, among others. A small section explaining Michael Faraday’s contributions to...

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul vowed Thursday on Fox Business not to let any of President Joe Biden’s nominees through unless documents pertaining COVID-19 are released first. Paul said on “Mornings with Maria” he’s been trying for three years to obtain records relating to COVID-19 and grants given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Paul said the U.S. is still sending taxpayer money to the Chinese “Academy of Military Medical Research,” whose scientists are members of the Chinese military. “That’s inexcusable,” Paul said, adding that it wasn’t just China covering up the lab leak but also the U.S. government. “I...

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — In a touching display of leadership and solidarity, Biden fell to the ground yesterday in support of LGBTQ rights. "Taking a knee is not enough anymore," said black gay Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who is black and gay. "Yesterday, the President showed us all how to respect the queer community by lying prostrate on the ground before thousands of people. Thanks to his demonstration, transgender 5-year-olds now know they aren't alone." Biden reportedly made the gesture after giving a speech at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony. According to sources, he became so deeply moved by...

You guys, this is getting a little ridiculous. Since when is a pregnant man something we celebrate during pride month? Like, this stuff is straight out of the circus but somehow — and I don't know when it happened — here we are celebrating a chick who cut off her boobs and made herself look like a man and then got herself pregnant. Why? [Warning: Post-Mastectomy Photos] Why are we celebrating this? What makes this progressive? I'm genuinely curious, because I don't think everyday liberals, progressives — whatever they want to call themselves — I don't think they're really into...

Lori Lightfoot is the first Chicago mayor in 40 years to lose re-election. She will now assume a teaching role at Menschel Senior Leadership Fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Ironically, Lightfoot will teach a course titled “Health Policy, and Leadership.” While there are worse choices to educate students about leadership, we can’t think of one off hand. Nonetheless, Michelle A. Williams, Dean of Faculty at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, considers Lightfoot an impressive addition: “I’m delighted to welcome Mayor Lightfoot to Harvard Chan School as a Menschel Senior Leadership Fellow. As mayor,...
