Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he believes it's a "no-brainer" he could win the presidency in 2024 — if he were able to run for election. Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria and served as the Golden State's governor from 2003 to 2011, made the comments during a recent sit-down interview on Max and CNN’s "Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?"

The main entrance to Dodger Stadium was briefly shut down Friday afternoon by a crowd protesting the honoring of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a satirical performance and activist organization considered blasphemous by some Christians, as part of the team’s 10th annual Pride Night.

Researchers have long known that moderate exercise has a beneficial impact on the body's response to inflammation, but what's been less understood is why. New research done on a mouse model suggests that the answers may lie at the production level of macrophages—white blood cells responsible for killing off infections, healing injury and otherwise acting as first responders in the body. "Much like if you train your muscles through exercise, we showed that exercise of moderate intensity ended up training the precursors of those macrophages in the bone marrow," says Ali Abdul-Sater. "The way that exercise is doing this is...

A new study published 14 June in JAMA Psychiatry has found evidence that supplementing the diet with a probiotic blend containing 14 strains of bacteria can help individuals who are being treated for major depressive disorder with antidepressants. The research, led by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London and in partnership with ADM Protexin, part of ADM, demonstrated the potential of probiotic supplementation to support improvements in multiple depression and anxiety scores over an eight-week period. The pilot study is one of the first trials in a Western population to show both good tolerability...

Spotify has parted ways with Harry and Meghan, ending a deal they inked back in 2020. The media outlet reportedly paid them $20 million for a series of podcasts. They ended up making twelve episodes. That’s really nice work if you can get it. Is this what the left means when they talk about privilege? Who else gets to make that kind of money for this kind of work? NBC News reports: Prince Harry and Meghan’s deal with Spotify ends as they agree to ‘part ways’ Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, have announced another high-profile split. The...

The reluctance to acknowledge Islamic homophobia among gay rights advocates, left-wing politicians, and the media poses risks to all non-Muslims and undermines the principles they claim to champion. Hamtramck, Michigan – The clash between leftist ideologies and Islamic beliefs regarding LGBTQ+ rights has once again taken center stage, igniting a controversial debate in the diverse city of Hamtramck. The display of LGBTQ+ Pride flags on government property has become a focal point, revealing tensions and raising questions about the alliance between left-wing principles and Islamic teachings. The discord between the claimed championing of LGBTQ+ rights and the contradictions within Islamic...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

Stephen Boyd, Donald Pleasence and Raquel Welch star in this imaginative sci-fi adventure. When a scientist who holds the secret of miniaturization goes comatose, a team of specialists travels inside his body to try to repair a dangerous blood clot. But with his body's defenses fighting them, and a saboteur on the team, it's a race against time to operate

Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zahkarova told a news briefing that Russia may use nuclear weapons in self-defense, at an address on June 15 in Peterburg. "Russia's nuclear deterrence policy is strictly defensive. The hypothetical use of nuclear weapons is clearly limited by extraordinary circumstances within the framework of strictly defensive purposes," she said. Zakharova insisted that Russia was intent on maintaining the principle that nuclear war was inadmissible. "There can be no winners in it. It must never be unleashed. We consistently call on all other parties to the joint statement of the leaders of the five nuclear states...

What is it going to take to wake people up? Russia is deploying tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, and there is lots of talk in the Russian media about using such weapons to bring a quick end to the war in Ukraine. The theory is that once the Russians show that they are willing to use tactical nukes, the U.S. and the other western powers will back off. But that won’t be what happens. Instead of backing off, the Biden administration will respond by using U.S. tactical nuclear weapons against Russian targets in Ukraine. And once both sides have used...

A six-month study of healthy older men demonstrated that daily multivitamin/multimineral supplementation had a positive effect on key nutrition biomarkers. The research also showed that the changes in nutrition status could have direct connections to cellular function, measured by the oxygen consumption of the study participants' blood cells. The findings suggest supplementation may be a key tool to help people stay healthier as they age. Said Michels: "Previous studies have shown mixed results when it comes to multivitamins and disease risk. We wanted to know why there was so much uncertainty." The research group recruited 35 healthy men age 68...

Hour & twenty minute video with Kim Iverson & Martin Armstrong discussing his predictions & also the gov't harassment he's been on the receiving end of. Very interesting.

Despite slogging along through months of the legacy media studiously ignoring the ongoing allegations of corruption inside Biden Inc., the word seems to be getting around. More people are emerging from the shadows with stories of their own that they’ve kept quiet about for years or even decades. The latest is a man named Mike McCormick. If you’ve never heard of Mr. McCormick before, that’s to be expected. He wasn’t a public official who tended to show up in the headlines. He served as a stenographer in the White House for fifteen years spanning multiple administrations, including that of Barack...

Concerning the moral rot in America and the Biden administration: on May 30, 2023, it was reported that Uganda has passed some very strong anti-gay laws, and Pres. Biden has responded by: Threatening to impose sanctions and other penalties on Uganda. Calling for the laws to be immediately repealed. Calling the laws a shameful act and an alarming trend of human rights abuses and corruption. Calling the laws a threat to everyone living in Uganda. Threatening to ban Ugandans from entering the U.S. The next day, it was reported that hundreds of Ugandans marched in the street in support of...

15 years ago, a woman in her thirties was diagnosed with metastatic kidney cancer. The oncologist, José Pablo Maroto, decided to treat her with the drug temsirolimus, which worked much better than expected. The patient beat the cancer. Nine years later, bone metastasis was detected, but temsirolimus was once again effective. Now, we know why temsirolimus proved so effective in this case and in that of two other patients. This finding will allow clinicians to identify other kidney cancer patients for whom temsirolimus will likely be the ideal treatment. At the moment, drugs like temsirolimus—so-called mTOR inhibitors—are only used when...

The Bible In Paintings ~ Encouragement for Appreciating and Applying God's Word ~ The Best of EDWARD BURNE-JONES “EDWARD COLEY BURNE-JONES (1833 – 1898) was a British painter and designer associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. “Among his most significant and lasting designs are those for stained glass windows, the production of which was a revived craft during the 19th century. His designs are still to be found in churches across the UK, with examples in the US and Australia.” excerpted from Wikipedia 1 EDWARD BURNE-JONES "Angel Informing Moses of the Creation of the World"Painting Design for a Stained-Glass Window...

Believe me, I would much rather write about the Lord’s soon return than gay pride—or rather, gay depravity. God introduced the rainbow in Genesis 9. It was a part of a promise He made. A whole twisted movement hijacked it. In America, the month of June is set aside to celebrate the gay lifestyle. But let’s be honest: the Western culture demands the near-constant celebration of homosexuality every day and every month of every year. Throw in the now-celebrated trans agenda, and the culture decline is astounding. We are racing backward to the days of Noah. Trans nudity was even...
