    Democrats never stop subverting their enemies, ever. They successfully flipped a seat from a swing district because they conned enough fools in the loser party to vote to expel George Santos. Meanwhile, Cori Bush is under DOJ investigation for embezzling campaign funds. Is there any talk of her expulsion? LOL. She's not even in a seat that they could possibly lose. They basically ended any Biden impeachment last night. Mayorkas could no longer be impeached if the vote were held today. Johnson has been functionally the same as McCarthy, but since Gaetz wanted to humiliate McCarthy for not scuttling an...

    An Iranian government official has blamed “terrorism and sabotage” for twin explosions on gas pipelines overnight. While there are few details about the blasts, one occurred on the mainline gas route running from Iran’s central Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province north to major gas fields in the Caspian Sea, state media reported on Wednesday. The other explosion was reported in the southern province of Fars.

    12-13-16 are the numbers you need to know The USA is already the world's largest LNG exporter. BCF = billion cubic feet -12 BCF are what we currently export -13 BCF capacity - facility - export is under construction -16 BCF Already permitted >> capacity - facility - export So our LNG exports for Europe etc are looking good into the future. Europe LNG prices are very reasonable these days. Norway has greatly expanded natural gas pipeline exports to Europe. Roooskie gas is no longer needed. And FVP! Maybe Norway blew up the NordStream pipes? Peter Zeihan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSJqE5gQzvs

    Ukraine destroyed a Russian landing warship off the coast of occupied Crimea in an operation with naval drones that breached the vessel's port side on Wednesday and caused it to sink, Kyiv's military spy agency and armed forces said. There was no immediate comment from Russia, which said earlier that it had destroyed six drones in the Black Sea. The Kremlin declined to comment. "The Ukrainian Armed Forces, together with the Defence Ministry's intelligence unit, destroyed the Tsezar Kunikov large landing ship. It was in Ukraine's territorial waters near Alupka at the time of the hit," the military said on...

    The January 2024 National Instant Background Check System (NICS) shows the number of guns sold for the month is very close to the average for the last ten years. From 2015 through 2024, the number of guns sold in January varied from .98 million in 2018 to 2.02 million in 2021. The average was 1.21 million. The 2024 number is 1.15 million. This is a 5.8% decrease from gun sales in January of 2023. Background check numbers varied more than gun sales, from 1.77 million in 2015 to 4.32 million in 2021.The number of background checks does not correlate well...

He didn’t have the guts to vote for it in the Senate but wants the House to pass it. I will stand with @SpeakerJohnson to STOP this terrible unpaid-for $95 billion aid bill.

    This is the moment a Met Police officer threatens to arrest a Christian gospel preacher who was accused of a hate crime. In a video posted to YouTube, a group of preachers can be heard protesting their innocence to officers after a member of the public claimed they had made homophobic comments. The person who is videoing the officers says: 'All we're doing is preaching our religion. We've been preaching about the gospel and Jesus Christ [and what] the Bible says in the book of John, chapter three verse 16. 'For God's love of the world he gave his one...
  • Dexmedetomidine cuts incidence of postpartum depression after C-section

    Medical Xpress / HealthDay / JAMA Network Open ^ | Jan. 26, 2024 | Elana Gotkine / Yingyong Zhou et al
    For women with prenatal depression undergoing cesarean delivery, dexmedetomidine reduces the incidence of positive postpartum depression (PPD) screening, according to a study. Yingyong Zhou, Ph.D. and colleagues conducted a randomized clinical trial involving 338 women who screened positive for prenatal depression and were scheduled for elective cesarean delivery at two hospitals to assess the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine for prevention of PPD. A total of 338 participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive dexmedetomidine or saline, infused for 10 minutes after delivery. After infusion, sufentanil or dexmedetomidine plus sufentanil was administered for 48 hours in the...
  • Addition of durvalumab, bevacizumab to TACE beneficial in liver cancer

    For patients with embolization-eligible unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC), the addition of durvalumab (D) and bevacizumab (B) to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) improves progression-free survival (PFS), according to a study. Riccardo Lencioni, M.D. and colleagues randomly assigned patients with embolization-eligible uHCC to D + B + TACE, D + TACE, or TACE in a 1:1:1 ratio (204, 207, and 205 patients, respectively). The primary end point was PFS for D + B + TACE versus TACE. The researchers found that PFS was significantly improved for D + B + TACE versus TACE (median, 15.0 versus 8.2 months; hazard ratio, 0.77). Across most...
  • Diversity Training Increases Prejudice And "Activates Bigotry" Among Participants, New Study Says

    Epoch Times ^ | 02/13/2024 | Lee Harding
    Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training is divisive and counter-productive and can even serve to increase prejudice among participants, a new study by a Canadian professor says.David Haskell released his study for the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy on Feb. 12. The social scientist and associate professor at Wilfrid Laurier University says DEI training does more harm than good and calls his findings a “reality check.”“A growing number of high-profile cases suggest that diversity workshops and their supporting materials regularly promote questionable claims—particularly about the overarching, malicious character of the majority population. Similarly, hostility toward those who challenge DEI claims...

    Is there nothing TikTok can't do? Most of us are probably familiar with the typical uses of the app. You can watch crazy dances and Tide Pod challenges. You can learn the locations of conservatives or Jews you'd like to dox. Or you can just open up your own data to be consumed by the Chinese Communist Party. It's all in good fun. But did you know that TikTok can also help you illegally migrate into the United States? A recent 60 Minutes segment reveals that migrants have been using the information provided by helpful TikTok posters to locate gaps...
  • Drake, 50 Cent, other Recording Artists are Registered to Vote with Same Houston-Area Address

    Hotair ^ | 02/13/2024 | Karen Townsend
    Here's a story that shows a political prank can turn into a good case for the need for voter identification when registering to vote. It involves five recording artists and a house in Katy, Texas. Katy is a city west of Houston, in the Houston metro area. Katy's population at the time of the 2020 census was 21,894. The point is that it is a small city, most often thought of as a suburb of Houston. There is a story out today that recording artists Drake, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and The Game are all registered to vote...
  • Study: Chemoradiotherapy patients more likely to have mixed infections and should start antibiotic therapy immediately

    Pulmonary malignancy is one of the most frequent and fatal cancers in older patients. Studies have shown lung cancer patients have a high incidence of lower respiratory tract infections. This is due to the fact that these patients usually have airway obstruction, sticky sputum that is not easy to cough up, destruction of mucosal surfaces, and treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. When most patients are found to have lung cancer, they have already developed distal metastasis and lost the chance of surgery, therefore, they usually choose to be treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted drugs. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy may cause...
