VIDEOWhat is most striking about the 2024 Marxism Conference in Melbourne, Australia that has been going on over the Easter weekend isn't the idiotic blather from the naïve Communist attendees that we've all heard before. Instead it is the photo of the audience itself revealing absolute fealty to virtue signaling COVID masking rules that most of the rest of the world has already ditched. The only reason for their demand for absolute obedience from the Commie audience is to demonstrate Commie control which reveals that was the whole purpose of the worldwide masking and mandate rules during COVID. So you...

Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that claiming the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge was due to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies was “foolishness.” Host Dana Bash said, “Some Republicans are trying to blame the bridge collapse on policies that encourage workplace diversity. A Utah state representative who is running for governor tweeted, quote, ‘This is what happens when you have governors who prioritize diversity over the well-being and security of citizens.’ Another Republican running for Congress in Florida posted ‘DEI did this.’ What’s your response?”

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are neurodegenerative diseases that commonly occur in middle-aged people. Both ALS and FTD arise from neuronal degeneration through mechanisms that remain unclear.

They also discovered that a disaccharide can increase neuronal survival and reduce degeneration. The result provides therapeutic strategies for future treatment. ALS and FTD differ in clinical symptoms, but they share many pathological features and genetic variations. Clinical data shows that more than 90% of ALS and about 70% of FTD patients are...
