While the British Medical Journal linked this occurrence to children who survive historically lethal viruses, President Trump is seeking more direct answers. In a recent address, he specifically questioned the “unexplained and alarming growth in the prevalence of chronic illnesses and health problems, especially in children.” Agenda47: Addressing Rise of Chronic Childhood IllnessesHe noted the rise in various illnesses and discussed concerns regarding the costs of treating them instead of finding the true causes and focusing on prevention. President Trump then stated, “Too...

Another day, another Trump probe leak from the DOJ. Meanwhile, there are ZERO leaks from the special prosecutor investigating Joe Biden’s stolen classified documents. Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows testified to the grand jury in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s witch hunt, according to a leak to the New York Times. It is unclear whether Meadows answered questions about the classified documents probe or Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election. The New York Times reported: Mark Meadows, the final White House chief of staff under President Donald J. Trump and a potentially key figure in inquiries...

It looks like the much-anticipated Ukrainian spring offensive may finally be getting underway. Yesterday, Russia repelled Ukrainian attacks in five places. It’s very early — these were likely probing attacks looking to detect weak points in Russian defensive positions — but these attacks were much heavier than previous probing attacks. We’ll have to see what happens. When the main offensive comes, it’s very possible that Ukrainian forces will break through in certain areas. They might capture some territory (with plenty of U.S./NATO-supplied reconnaissance and intelligence to assist them), but it’s unlikely that their gains will be sustainable. The offensive will...

Eligible patients were ineligible for thrombolysis or thrombectomy and within 24 hours of stroke; had progression of stroke symptoms soon after...

Caesarea is the largest Roman ruin in Israel today. It was built by Herod The Great, an ambitious puppet of the Romans, who was appointed the king of Judea by Rome. This city had a huge chariot race track, a theatre, aqueducts, and an artificial harbor that's underwater today.

A treatment that involves genetically modifying the body's own immune cells has been found to cut the risk of disease progression by 74 percent in people with a rare type of blood cancer, results showed. Ciltacabtagene autoleucel—also known by Carvykti—was tested in a clinical trial involving 419 patients with multiple myeloma, whose disease was not responsive to the current frontline drug lenalidomide, a chemotherapy medicine. Multiple myeloma affects a type of white blood cells called plasma cells, and can cause cascading harms to the bones, kidneys, and immune health. There is currently no cure, though progression can be stopped for...

VIDEO AT LINK............... June 7 (UPI) -- A British Columbia man said he is trying to determine whether an object that splashed down in his backyard pool was a meteorite. Justin Broad said he was outside his home in Delta earlier this week when something fell from above and splashed into his pool. He said the object, which he suspects may have been a meteorite, was slightly disintegrating in the water. "It didn't cloud up and dissipate. It just dropped to the shallow end right at the bottom in a ball," Broad told Global News. Broad and his wife drained...

Women ages 45 years and older taking estrogen hormone therapy in pill form were more likely to develop high blood pressure than those using transdermal (topical, applied to the skin) or vaginal formulations, according to research. "We know estrogens ingested orally are metabolized through the liver and this can lead to higher blood pressure," said Cindy Kalenga, an M.D./Ph.D.-candidate This study involved a large group of over 112,000 women, ages 45 years and older. First, researchers investigated the relationship between route of estrogen-only hormone therapy administration and risk of developing high blood pressure at least one year after starting the...

A video has emerged that shows BlackRock’s chairman and CEO Larry Fink gloating to an audience about his plans to infiltrate society, via corporate America, with “woke” ideologies to “force behaviors” of the public. Fink, a member of the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF), is a leading advocate of the radical Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores movement. ESG is a set of far-left criteria that pressures companies to become more “woke” to meet the standards. As Slay News reported in January, Twitter boss Elon Musk famously blasted ESGs by remarking that the “S in ESG stands for Satanic.” According...

More than 55 million people across the Northeast, Midwest and mid-Atlantic in the US are under air quality alerts as wildfire smoke originating from Canada shrouds major US cities. Officials in Philadelphia urged residents to remain indoors and avoid strenuous activities outdoors, and public schools in New York City and Washington, DC, canceled outdoor activities due to poor air quality.

Prepared Floor Remarks by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa To the Biden Justice Department and FBI: Quit Playing Games with the American People Tuesday, June 6, 2023 12 min video Once again, I’m here to discuss my constitutional oversight of the Justice Department and the FBI. It surely has been a very busy year thus far for congressional oversight, and let me say, rightly so. That’s the way it should be. We know, first, Congress passes laws. But Congress can’t stop there. We’ve got to make sure that Congress follows up to guarantee under our check and balances of our...

Patients with advanced kidney cancer are routinely given immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) as first-line treatment. The CONTACT-03, phase 3 clinical trial tested the effects of giving ICIs again, as part of a standard second-line therapy. It is the first trial of its kind to compare a standard therapy alone (cabozantinib) to standard therapy plus an ICI (atezolizumab plus cabozantinib) in solid tumors that have progressed after first-line therapy with an ICI. Patients taking atezolizumab plus cabozantinib did not experience longer progression free survival or overall survival compared with those taking cabozantinib alone. An examination of subgroups of patients based on...

"Forget the campaign trail: the real Trump-DeSantis fight is spilling out on Twitter. Conservative influencers who support the respective campaigns are duking it out on Elon Musk’s app — and it’s getting personal."

Travis claimed he attends events for different candidates all the time so he can hear from them directly, that the events inform his coverage on the radio and that he is not endorsing anyone in the primary. A video later surfaced of Travis actually giving a...

A batch of Nazi war criminals highlighted by four condemned at the Einsatzgruppen trial hanged at Germany’s Landsberg Prison on this date in 1951. Formed initially to decapitate Polish intelligentsia when Germany invaded that country in 1939, these notorious paramilitaries were deployed by Reinhard Heydrich behind the advancing German line of battle to pacify occupied territory. “Pacify” in the event meant slaying Communists, partisans, and of course, the Reich’s innumerable racial inferiors. Einsatzgruppen authored many mass executions like the massacre of Jews at Babi Yar outside Kiev, each local atrocity a self-conscious contribution to the wholesale genocide. All told these...
