Rex Heuermann is charged in the murders of three sex workers. The attorney for Gilgo Beach, New York, murder suspect Rex Heuermann on Wednesday denied that his client is a "monster of a person" and maintained Heuermann's innocence. Heuermann returned to court Wednesday following his July arrest for the murders of three sex workers -- Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello -- whose bodies were found on Long Island in 2010. He has pleaded not guilty.

A team of medical researchers has found evidence suggesting that the placebo effect has grown stronger in trials of transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy for patients treated for depression. Prior research has shown that the placebo effect—where a patient is given a "sham" medication or therapy to treat an ailment instead of a real one—can be an effective means of treating some conditions. Prior research has also suggested that the placebo effect might be growing stronger in recent years—tests with placebo pills are now providing even more benefits than those that were used in the past. In this new effort, the...

New research hints at a few ways fatty foods affect cells in the brain, a finding that could help explain the link between a high-fat diet and impaired memory—especially as we age. The study of cell cultures found the omega-3 fatty acid DHA may help protect the brain from an unhealthy diet's effects by curbing fat-induced inflammation at the cellular source. Separate experiments using brain tissue from aging mice showed a high-fat diet may lead specific brain cells to overdo cell-signaling management in a way that interferes with the creation of new memories. For this work, the researchers focused on...

Those suffering from chronic neck pain can alleviate the symptoms on the way to full recovery if they adopt optimal posture and spinal alignment, according to a study. The study evaluated two widely-used corrective approaches to remedy chronic non-specific neck pain caused by forward head posture (FHP) and CBP rehabilitation and traditional exercise programs. "The CBP technique is a posture-correcting method that depends on stretching the viscous and plastic elements of the longitudinal ligament and intervertebral disks, in addition to effectively stretching the soft tissue through the entire neck area in the direction of normal head and neck postures," the...

The counterculture is now aware of False Flags. Operations that are executed by the powers that be and blamed on someone else are now being called out in real-time on social media platforms despite the censorship. It’s becoming popular. And if the powers that be can no longer trick us, then they will try and hurt us. According to the scientific data, nearly all humans have a certain degree of psychic awareness. And some of us become acutely aware of it. The term, Remote Viewing, was coined by the US Department of Defense when they began training people in this...

A group that promotes “normalizing abortion” has lined up six billboards on Interstate 55 through pro-life states leading to Illinois, one of which falsely reads, “God’s plan includes abortion.” Shout Your Abortion, a far-left advocacy group, placed the billboards in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee — all states which have outlawed or limited abortions. The black and white billboards, which face travelers heading into pro-abortion Illinois, also include messages such as, “Abortion is OK. You know what’s right for you,” and “Abortion is OK. You are loved.” “Interstate 55 carries 10s of thousands of abortion seekers out of southern...

Sasha Obama made the most of her downtime on Thursday while enjoying a coffee and a book at a café in Los Angeles. The 22-year-old, who graduated from the University of Southern California last spring, was spotted dropping off her car in a parking lot before heading to Stories Books & Cafe in Echo Park. Sasha showed off her bohemian style in a pair of baggy Dickies overalls, which she wore over a cropped white shirt and cherry-printed shorts that peeked out from the side. Her long micro braids were loose around her shoulders, and she accessorized her look with...

The UK proposes closing up to 1,000 railway ticket offices leaving passengers to buy their tickets online and then show a digital pass on either a smartphone or tablet.

In other words, cash and physical tickets have been replaced with a digital pass. Finnish citizens can now verify their identity at the UK border by showing a digital...

On Thursday, police announced that 40-year-old Bradley Dexter was arrested following a months-long investigation. According to officers, Dexter's mother was found dead at a home on the 1100 block of Utopia Place on June 6. Several weeks later, the Santa Clara County Coroner's Office classified the woman's death as a homicide and that she died from an intentional fentanyl poisoning. The incident was the city's 28th homicide of the...

We most assuredly live in biblical times. The convergence of signs is like that of the grand finale of a fireworks show that noisily illuminates the sky with its bright display of colors. Yet sadly, many believers and pastors turn their heads and walk away from the spectacle telling themselves and others, “There’s nothing to see here.” I also believe the words of Proverbs 1:20 apply here: “Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:” The myriad of signs, along with the voices of many students of Bible prophecy, sound the alarm regarding the nearness of the Tribulation....

Investigators say they've uncovered yet another drug mill in the Bronx, again involving fentanyl. This one was located less than a mile away from the day care where several children were exposed to fentanyl, causing the death of a 1-year-old boy. Detectives said Juan Gabriel Herrera Vargas rode on the subway Tuesday with a suitcase full of fentanyl. He got off at Kingsbridge Road and started walking toward an apartment, but investigators stopped him on the way. The DEA says agents seized more than 40 pounds of fentanyl, much of it in a suitcase which officials say Herrera Vargas left...

For reasons mysterious to the rational human mind, Fox News and the Republican National Committee decided to subject Americans to the most bizarre public spectacle in recent memory. It was stupid. It was strange. It was the second Republican presidential primary debate, which began with British-American Stuart Varney having a seizure while attempting to introduce his Univision cohost Ilia Calderón and concluded with Dana Perino asking the contestants who should be “voted off the island.” “Leading the charge, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dismissed the question outright,” The Independent reported. “I’m not going to do that, with all due respect, we’re...

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has issued subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden’s personal and business bank records as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Biden. “From day one of our investigation of Joe Biden’s abuse of public office, we’ve followed the money and that continues with today’s subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden’s bank records,” Comer (R-Ky.) said in a statement.

Ukraine, England, Poland, Latvia, and Sweden will boycott competitions of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) involving Russian football teams that were admitted to the U-17 competition among the European national football teams with players under the age of 17, Ukrainska Pravda reported. The English U-17 team will not compete with the Russian U-17 team in the same UEFA tournament as long as all other Russian football teams are banned from the UEFA competitions because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Times reported, referring to the English Football Association. Sweden, the UEFA U-17 tournament host, also opposed the...

The second Republican primary debate on Wednesday drew a considerably smaller audience than the first debate, bringing in more than three million fewer viewers. Hosted at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the debate drew about 9.5 million viewers through Fox Business, the network's other channels, and Univision, The Hill reported, citing Nielsen data. The first debate drew in 13 million viewers, meaning the second debate saw a roughly 27% drop. Former President Donald Trump, the leading candidate in the race, attended neither event and the only lineup change on Wednesday evening was the absence of former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson,...
