Warfarin, a widely used blood thinner, appears to have potent anti-cancer properties, according to a study. "Our findings suggest that warfarin, which is already approved by the FDA, could be repurposed to treat a variety of cancers, including pancreatic cancer," says Wei Gu, Ph.D. Cancer researchers are excited by the idea of harnessing ferroptosis—so-named because it requires iron to work—to kill cancer cells. Drugs that induce ferroptosis may be particularly useful for cancers that elude current treatments. Gu, Stockwell, and their colleagues performed genetic screens on human melanoma cells to identify genes that contribute to ferroptosis. As expected, the screens...

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden today ended two years of suspense by deciding that US Space Command’s headquarters will remain in Colorado Springs, Colo. — overturning the January 2021 decision by President Donald Trump to move it to Huntsville, Ala. Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs has been the preferred choice of the top military space brass ever since the basing process began way back in 2018. Trump’s decision was made over their concerns that moving SPACECOM from its current home (previously the home of Air Force Space Command) would needless delay its full operational capability. Biden, in the...

"America's response to this week's indictment of Donald Trump is providing a window into more than just how Americans view his alleged actions per se — but also into what they think it means for democracy itself.--Half the nation believes Trump tried to stay in office beyond his term through illegal and unconstitutional means.To most Americans, such an effort would mean undermining democracy.For them and for a majority of Americans overall, the series of indictments and ongoing investigations against Trump are seen as "defending democracy" and "upholding the rule of law."

A transgender Michigan woman has demanded her ex-boyfriend return her surgically removed testicles — which she claims he is keeping in a refrigerated jar. Brianna Kingsley, 40, of Pontiac, filed an affidavit claiming her ex, William Wojciechowski, 37, “retains possession of my surgically extracted testicles, preserved in (a) Mason jar, kept in (the) fridge next to the eggs,” The Detroit News reported. “Demand immediate return of my human remains specimen and damages of $6,500,” adds the handwritten claim filed last week in Pontiac’s 50th District Court, where the amount is the maximum allowed in the small-claims division. Kingsley appeared to...

Rebecca Todd Peters is a professor, author, and Presbyterian Church (USA) ‘Pastor.’ She has been “active denominationally and ecumenically for over twenty-five years.” She represents the PCUSA as a member of the Faith and Order Standing Commission of the World Council of Churches. A lover of all things baby-killing, she also serves on the Clergy Advocacy Board of Planned Parenthood and was recently elected Vice President of the Society of Christian Ethics. It’s unsurprising then that she’s celebrated and tolerated within her denomination. The PCUSA has denigrated to one massive pen for goats, run by spiritual criminals and hirelings, with...

ESCONDIDO, Calif. — The families of some of the 13 servicemembers who were killed in a deadly blast at the Kabul Airport in 2021 are seeking answers. Appearing alongside the families is senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48). "For almost two years, the Gold Star Families of the fallen in Afghanistan have waited for answers and accountability for the loss of their loved ones - and they have waited long enough," said Rep. Issa. "At every turn, they've been shut out and ignored by the Biden Administration that prefers to turn the page on...

Wow, talk about an overreach.

A legally-armed woman in North Carolina acted in self-defense when she fatally shot a man during a road rage incident at a grocery store parking lot, according to the local district attorney. "I think what's really important here for people to understand is that provision in our law is not an invitation to vigilante justice, but it does allow when someone has a responsible fear for imminent death or bodily injury that you're allowed to protect yourself," Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman told ABC 11. Steven McLamb, 49, was fatally shot outside a Food Lion located at Raleigh's Greystone...

Obama-appointed Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, known as the "toughest punisher" of January 6 defendants and who is now handling former President Donald Trump's J6 case, vehemently defended the violent Black Lives Matter riots that ravaged America in 2020. Flashback to the Oct. 4, 2021 sentencing hearing for one of the dozens of J6ers Chutkan sentenced—of which, all 38 Capitol rioters she handed prison stretches—where the Obama appointee personified CNN's infamous "FIERY, BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS" chyron in a courtroom defense of the George Floyd-era BLM uprisings. Lest we forget when racial justice militants, seeking so-called "reparations" over the death of...

Bidenomics at work! From the alleged more Pro-Union member of the US Senate and now El Presidente of the United Banana Republics of America. One of the biggest bankruptcies in US trucking history occurred Sunday when the nation’s third-largest less-than-truckload carrier, Yellow Corp., filed Chapter 11 in a Deleware court. The company has fallen victim to insurmountable debts, including a government loan and tense contract negotiations with the Teamsters Union. It listed assets and liabilities at $1 billion-$10 billion, with more than 100,000 creditors. “It is with profound disappointment that Yellow announces that it is closing after nearly 100 years...

Tucker Carlson recently revealed that in an interview that never aired before he was fired from Fox, the chief of the Capitol police, Steven Sund, told him that on Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol, “that crowd was filled with federal agents.” Mounting evidence that Jan. 6 was anything but an “insurrection” didn’t stop the Biden regime from indicting Trump again, however, and it didn’t stop far-left talking head Dean Obeidallah from likening Trump to Osama bin Laden and hoping he dies in prison. Yes, that’s how far the left is ratcheting up the hysteria against their bête noire.

Former Gov. David Paterson warned Sunday that New York City could revert to the crime- and debt-riddled days of the 1970s if government doesn’t ease up on developers — adding the Big Apple’s migrant crisis is at its “tipping point,” too. “Look what happened at the hotels where the hotels were filled up,” the former governor told host John Catsimatidis on “Cat’s Roundtable” on WABC-77 radio, referring to the city’s desperate attempt to house the flood of recent asylum-seekers from the US’ southern border. “The excess migrants, mostly males … chose to sleep on the street rather than go to...

Conservative politicians are sleeping on the youth vote — and it’s a recipe for disaster at the polls. True, young people tend to tack left, but discounting the next generation as a progressive monolith is a political strategy that’s destined to backfire, especially considering that half of all eligible voters will be Gen Zers or millennials by 2028. Although two-thirds of young voters went blue in 2020 — and many helped Democrats coast to victory in the midterms last year — it doesn’t always have to be that way. Millennials are moving solidly to the right as they age, with...

A federal judge Monday dismissed former President Trump’s claim that E. Jean Carroll defamed him in May after a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing the writer. The day after the verdict, Carroll appeared on CNN and indicated Trump had raped her. The jury had not found Trump liable for rape under New York’s definition, but instead found him liable for sexual abuse. Trump then claimed Carroll’s insistence on CNN amounted to defamation, filing a counterclaim in Carroll’s other lawsuit that has not yet gone to trial. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan on Monday dismissed Trump’s argument, ruling Carroll’s...

Tranq — a k a xylazine, the so-called zombie drug that leaves users psychotic and covered with open, rotting wounds — is taking over New York’s drug supply. As the DEA agent who oversees operations in New York put it, “Tranq can end up anywhere, at any time, and can kill anyone.” It’s found in a hideous 15% of all drugs tested by the DEA for the northeast, and more than 85% of the drugs containing tranq also contain another major killer: fentanyl. How on earth did we get here? Thank your local progressive pol.

Jason Whitlock: "Title IX is one of the greatest hustles in the history of pimping. Iceberg ‘Kims’ convinced a U.S President and the 92nd Congress to mandate that billions of dollars be siphoned away from boys and invested in creating female jocks. It didn't matter that girls are far less likely to be interested in competitive sports, or that participation in competitive sports worked against women's supernatural reproductive powers. The American government has spent 50 years and trillions of dollars creating hardcore female jocks. We owed that to women because the government previously spent billions convincing men to take an...

U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, Aileen Cannon, issued an order Monday pressing the Department of Justice (DOJ) about its conduct in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case. Cannon ordered DOJ special counsel Jack Smith to unseal two filings and give a legal explanation as to why a Washington, D.C. grand jury is investigating matters related to the classified documents case. “The Special Counsel states in conclusory terms that the supplement should be sealed from public view ‘to comport with grand jury secrecy,’ but the motion for leave and the supplement plainly fail to satisfy the...

A woman is suing Southwest Airlines after flight staff accused her of trafficking her child. Mary MacCarthy was flying with her 10-year-old daughter, "MM," in 2021 when Southwest Airlines staff called the Denver Police Department and reported her as a suspected child trafficker. MacCarthy is white, and her daughter is biracial. In a lawsuit against Southwest, MacCarthy alleges that she was suspected of trafficking her own daughter "for no reason other than the different color of her daughter's skin from her own." "There was no basis to believe that Ms. MacCarthy was trafficking her daughter," states the complaint, filed August...

It was a satisfying video for those who see America sinking into a criminal abyss: a brazen robber was systematically working his way through a Stockton, California convenience store's cigarette shelves, pouring hundreds of packs into a huge garbage can on wheels. Eventually, one clerk grappled with him, and another began whacking his legs with a long stick. The clerks are now being investigated for assault under the theory that you cannot use deadly force to protect commercial property. That's just wrong. ... police are investigating the clerks for criminal assault. These are the same police who never showed up...
