Dueling demonstrations outside the Museum of Tolerance became heated on Wednesday night. Inside, a private screening of video of atrocities from the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel was underway. Outside, horns were blaring, flags were waving, and shouting matches were erupting. About 50 protesters gathered outside the museum prior to the start of the 47-minute film titled “Bearing Witness.” The film is a compilation of video from the attacks, gathered by the Israeli military. An estimated 1,400 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage in the Oct. 7 attacks. In response, Israel has bombarded the Gaza Strip...

In the Middle East these days, things just seem to get more and more surreal by the moment. In the latest installment of "Terror Group Leaders Gone Wild," Hezbollah, not wanting to be suddenly ignored by Western news outlets -- what with Hamas grabbing all the "Islamic terrorist scumbag" media attention -- has announced that they have some Russian-made Yakhont anti-ship missiles with which to threaten the United States Navy.Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Washington last week his group had something in store for the U.S. vessels deployed to the region since war erupted last month between the Palestinian...

The death of Paul Kessler in a suburb of Los Angeles was widely covered yesterday. Police still haven’t arrested anyone and aren’t saying this was a hate crime yet. But Kessler’s death seems like the tip of an anti-Semitic iceberg. Crimes targeting Jews have been on the rise around the world, some of them merely threatening and some on the verge of being deadly.In the threatening category, just a few days ago a Jewish man in Beverly Grove, which is just east of Beverly Hills, found a message painted on his garage door.Scott Shulman, who for many years worked as...

The ATF can’t arrest anyone for owning a pistol-brace-equipped gun.That’s the outcome of a ruling handed down by United States District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk on Wednesday. He granted a motion to stay enforcement of the agency’s rule banning the possession of effectively all braced guns that weren’t registered earlier this year. He found the ATF exceeded its power when crafting the rule.

Moderate-intensity statin with ezetimibe combination therapy was confirmed to be effective on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction in patients at very high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The research team found out that the therapy has a higher compliance rate than the conventional high-intensity statin monotherapy. In order to prevent the recurrence of myocardial infarction or stroke, it is crucial to maintain LDL-C levels lower than 55mg/dL or 70mg/dL for patients at a very high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Statin drug therapy is the most often used. However, continued treatment with high-dose statin may cause a high risk of...

Despite what ads for wrinkle cream would have us believe, there's no magic reversal for aging. As the years pass, a certain amount of change is inevitable but not, it turns out, inexorable. Fingers that feel less nimble in doing the normal tasks of life—buttoning a shirt, writing a list—are not doomed to stay that way, new research shows. It also demonstrates that, to some extent, age is just a number. Researchers worked with more than two dozen study participants ages 60 to 83 to understand whether manual dexterity can improve with time. Over six sessions, participants completed a pegboard...

Germany is facing its second winter without gas deliveries from Russia. But analysts say that for gas shortages to really bite, a lot of things would have to go wrong. Germans themselves are optimistic. In the first year of it's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Moscow tried to capitalize on concerns that energy would become scarce in Europe during the cold winter months. The Russians even made a short video to feed these fears, featuring tales of how Germans would freeze without supplies from Russia's Gazprom. The Russian state-owned company halted all gas deliveries to Germany in late August 2022. But...

We all know that a lousy night's sleep can leave us feeling drained the next day. Now a study has found another reason to catch more Z's: poor sleep is tied to significantly higher odds of experiencing atrial fibrillation (A-Fib)—irregular heartbeats that can lead to blood clots, heart failure, stroke and other heart-related problems—the following day. A bad night of sleep was associated with a 15% greater risk of having an A-Fib episode, and continued poor sleep was associated with longer episodes of A-Fib. The researchers noted that it is important to treat underlying disease that may be causing A-Fib,...

Let me begin by saying to all you leftists that I told you so. Lots of leftists are supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans, and they are mad that they are now being treated like people who support raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans. Apparently, this is a terrible attack on free speech and McCarthyism and probably Islamophobic and transphobic and is the worst thing ever since the last thing that was the worst thing ever. Well, I think it’s kind of funny. They are mad and accuse us conservatives of now embracing cancel culture. You can argue about the definition...

Seven Nashville police officers have been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into how the 'manifesto' of school shooter Audrey Hale leaked online. Nashville Police Department told WSMV that the officers were suspended after a probe into how three pages of notes written by Hale before she opened fire at The Covenant School in March. She fatally shot three nine-year-olds and three teachers before being shot dead by police. The manifesto had been shrouded in secrecy since the shooting, until they were leaked on Monday by controversial podcast host Steven Crowder, who claimed his reporters obtained it from a...

Citizen Free Press @CitizenFreePres Best debate opening we've ever seen. Vivek comes out swinging at Ronna McDaniel. Vivek invites RNC Ronna to resign on stage.

An American retired lawyer and university professor was caught on camera on Tuesday shooting dead two climate change protesters in Panama. Kenneth Darlington, 77, appeared before a judge in the town of La Espiga on Wednesday afternoon, and after a two-hour hearing was remanded in custody.

Darlington was seen on Tuesday, in front of a large number of photographers and television crews, walking up to a road block on a section of...

How did the Democrats pull this off? By EVERY measure, Democrat “rule” in America has been a DISASTER! Yet, yesterday, Democrats prevailed in Ohio, Virginia and Kentucky! Did the “BIG CHEAT” come into play? For the life of me, I cannot understand why any sentient American would vote for any Democrat at any level of government! Democrats have been 100% behind, at every level of government, VERY harmful, VERY anti-American, VERY anti-Constitution, VERY anti-Christian ideas, policies and legislation designed for the express purpose of destroying our FRee Republic! How can We the People take control FRom these VERY EVIL people?...

A recent editorial from a very conservative newspaper editorial page — I'm not going to name any names — is asking, "Will Trump Be Indicted Into Office?" This is their response to the spate of recent polls showing Mr. Trump leading in nearly all the toss-up states and defeating Joe Biden a year from now. Then, there's another headline that I will identify from the Washington Post entitled: "Eight columnists discuss: How in the world is Trump winning?" Half of those columnists were conservatives. Just saying, but they too completely missed the point. Trump is winning on the issues. Can...

Democrats across Congress are calling on President Biden to allow Palestinians entry into the U.S. on humanitarian grounds as war drags on in Gaza. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, D-Ill., together with Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., and Pramila Jayapal, D-Was., led a letter of 103 colleagues to the president asking him to grant the Palestinian territories Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and/or authorize Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Palestinians already living in the U.S. The TPS program allows those from war-torn or crisis-wracked countries to legally live and work in the U.S., but does not give them permanent residency. It allows...

BOSTON, Nov. 8-US prosecutors yesterday charged three people with running a high-end brothel network out of apartment complexes in greater Boston and northern Virginia whose customers included elected officials, tech and pharmaceutical executives, lawyers, professors and military officers. Federal prosecutors in Boson did not identify any of the "wealthy and well-connected clientele" that they say paid up to US$600 (RM2807) per hour for sexual encounters with predominantly Asian women who were being exploited through sex trafficking. The brothels alleged operators--Han Lee, 41 and Junmyung Lee, 30, of Massachusetts and James Lee, 68, of California--were arrested ad charged with conspiring to...

SHANGHAI -- China's consumer prices declined slightly in October, according to data released Thursday, while a new survey suggests economic headwinds are restraining shoppers during the country's Singles Day retail campaign. Weighed down by falling food prices, the consumer price index fell 0.2% compared with the same month a year earlier, the statistics office said. With deflationary pressure looming over the country's growth prospects, the index had also contracted in July. It was flat in September. Factory gate inflation in October came in at -2.6%, versus -2.5% in the previous month, due to softer commodity prices. Declining aggregate demand appears...
