The bubonic plague killed so many people in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa that that natural selection event is still rippling through our genomes today. But the same genes that helped your ancestors survive the Black Death may be contributing to autoimmune disease today.Have an Autoimmune Disease?

Lacking power at the state level, conservatives are leaning into local governance to protest California’s progressive politics. The fight in Huntington Beach could be a harbinger of what’s to come.

During an oversight hearing for the General Services Administration, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) criticized Chair James Comer (R-KY) for speaking to Fox News about President Biden's potential business dealing with his brother James Biden. This comes as Chair Comer issued subpoenas for James Biden, Hunter Biden, and business associates as a part of an impeachment inquiry into the president. Rep. Moskowitz proceeded to refer to a story, accusing the chair of concerning business dealings with his brother. Chair Comer responded by calling the story, "bullshit" and implying that Rep. Moskowitz, or those who believe the story, are "dumb" and "financially...

Is this the final countdown? US Producer Price Index (PPI) Final Demand plunged the most since the COVID lockdowns. After four months of re-acceleration, US producer prices tumbled in October – down 0.5% MoM, the biggest drop since April 2020. This dragged Final Demand PPI YoY down to 1.3%. Primary drivers? Rapidly declining gasoline prices (-6.5% in October). The other driver? M2 Money growth. Notice that PPI Final Demand is slowing as M2 Money growth goes negative. Gasoline PPI plunged -13.5% YoY in October. No it wasn’t Biden opening up America to energy indepence. More like the impact of M2...

Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has extended a sanctions waiver in order to release another $10 billion in frozen funds for Iran. According to the Associated Press, the four-month extension will allow the Iranian regime access to previously frozen $10 billion in electricity revenues. The Biden admin insists that the terror-linked Islamic dictatorship will use the funds for “humanitarian aid.” However, experts have repeatedly warned that giving Iran to access frozen funds will free up money in Tehran’s money reserves. By freeing up Iran’s reserves, the regime will be able to continue sponsoring terrorism and developing nuclear weapons. The sanctions...

Tuesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned Iran was the driving force behind Hamas and the threat it poses against Israel. The South Carolina Republican told FNC host Sean Hannity that Iran was “emboldened” by the weakness of the Biden administration. Partial transcript as follows: HANNITY: Senator, I want to go to the bigger picture and I certainly understand the sensitivity having Prime Minister Netanyahu on last night. He says, you know, there can be no victory without the destruction of Hamas. But if we’re going to really define victory, doesn’t Hezbollah have to be...

Thirty-five years ago today (November 2nd), the Internet Worm program was set loose to propagate on the Internet. Noting that now to the computing public (and cybersecurity professionals, specifically) often generates an "Oh, really?" response akin to stating that November 2nd is the anniversary of the inaugural broadcast of the first BBC TV channel (1936), and the launch of Sputnik 2 with Laika aboard (1957). That is, to many, it is ho-hum, ancient history. Perhaps that is to be expected after 35 years -- approximately the length of a human generation. (As an aside, I have been teaching at Purdue...

On Tuesday hundreds of thousands of American Jews and their supporters held a rally for Israel in Washington DC. The protest was attended by both Democrat and Republican lawmakers. 900 attendees from the Detroit area were left stranded at Dulles after bus drivers refused to transport them to the rally. The Biden administration skipped the march and rally. At the same time every single Senate Democrat voted to stop aid to Israel. Unlike the pro-Palestinian crowd, the crowd sang the National Anthem at their rally yesterday. A vile leftist chanted Heil Hitler at the crowd. Newsweek reported: Hundreds of people...

A skit by Israeli satirical television show Eretz Nehederet, described by many as the "Israeli Saturday Night Live," has gone viral for a third week in a row. In the skit, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar gives an exclusive interview on BBC. He talks about the ceasefire that Hamas is trying to reach because “all civilians are running out of town, and Hamas is left without protection.” Hamas is tired, they need a break, “especially as a hostage baby is keeping them awake at night.”

Two men were caught on camera pummeling an NYPD cop in the head and face at a Bronx subway station Monday after the officer and his partner asked the suspects to put out their cigarettes. Kaream McClary, 23, and Izayiah Jessamy, 20, were charged with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and trespassing over the shocking attack at the Freeman Street subway station around 2:30 p.m., police said. The altercation erupted after two officers requested McClary, Jessamy and a third man stop smoking inside the station — but the trio refused, cops said. When the officers tried removing the...

From the Montreal Commercial Advertiser, Nov. 13. The expedition intended to effect the liberation of the Confederate officers held prisoners on Johnson's Island, Lake Erie, having failed, in order to remove the misapprehensions that may be created by Federal accounts of a Canadian plot to burn Western cities, we give below all the facts in which the public is interested, which may, we are assured, be implicitly relied on. The Washington Government having refused to continue the exchange of prisoners of war under the cartel, sent the Southern officers accustomed to a tropical climate to Johnson's Island, where 2,000 of...

For the first time in history, citizens have better computer technology than their government. Today’s video of Minnesota voter rolls shows, using Fractal technology, that citizens can identify anomalies in government voter rolls that existed for over 100 years – eluding all the obsolete technology Minnesota could bring to bear.

A FedEx tractor-trailer was blocked by several cars in a Memphis, Tennessee, intersection before dozens of people pillaged the back of the truck for packages, leaving boxes discarded all over the road during the brazen weekend theft. Video from the scene shows multiple people running through parked cars in the road toward the FedEx truck as the driver attempts to escape the ravagers who are carrying their loot. Multiple men allegedly used an unknown tool to open the safety latch on the truck’s sealed back doors and took numerous packages, the driver said, according to multiple local reports. When police...

Since the United States’ abrupt August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan—a chaotic departure scarred by suicide bombings that killed 180 people, including 13 American service members—the nation’s taxpayers have funneled $2.5 billion in humanitarian assistance for the impoverished country to international nonprofits. No one knows how that money is being spent except, likely, the leaders of Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban.

Johnson, who inherited the problem of a potential government shutdown when he was elected to the role after weeks of paralysis, saw 93 members of his conference in the Republican-controlled lower legislative chamber vote against his proposal. Almost all Democrats—209 members—voted for the plan with two voting against it.

President Biden on Tuesday slammed former President Trump’s recent remarks in which he likened his political opponents to “vermin,” suggesting Trump’s rhetoric echoes language used in Nazi Germany. “In just the last few days, Trump has said it returns office he’s gonna go after all those who oppose him and wipe out what he called the vermin in America, quote the vermin in America — a specific phrase because it’s just a specific meaning,” Biden said at a fundraiser in San Francisco late Tuesday. “It that goes language you heard Nazi Germany in the 30s. That is [not] even the...

Intriguing rumors have recently surfaced regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin's health and whereabouts, coupled with startling claims about his luxurious woodland palace, Valdai, situated in central Russia. According to sources including Radar Online and the General SVR Telegram channel, there are allegations that Putin, 71, may have passed away on October 25, with his body purportedly being stored in a freezer at this opulent residence. These claims, which have been denied by the Kremlin, suggest that a body double of Putin might be acting on his behalf. The General SVR Telegram channel, believed to be operated by a Kremlin insider,...
