Former President Donald Trump may have a big chance to turn this blue state, red. According to new polls, Trump is in the lead to secure Minnesota, resulting in the Biden campaign panicking over the president’s diminishing chances to win in November. An Emerson College Polling/The Hill state poll found that Trump holds a slight advantage over President Joe Biden in six swing states and tied in Minnesota— at 45 percent each. “In our first polling in several key swing states since Trump’s conviction last month, there has been little movement,” Spencer Kimball, the executive director of Emerson College Polling...

Picture it being 1941 and the FDR regime, believing that Greens would never let them have or concentrate the necessary industrial effort within the continental US, were to farm the Manhatten Project out to Kuwait. and/or other near-east entities.....There is more than sufficient reason to think that this question is critically important to the safety and security of the United States.

A judge in Florida is starting to take apart the secrecy operation that Ron DeSantis and his DC Bush clan constructed during their block Trump operation. DeSantis moved from Congress to the Florida Governor position in 2018; the intent was always to run for President in 2024 and take apart the Trump constructs returning the Republican apparatus to traditional corporate controls. Part of their lengthy approach was to import some of the Washington DC silo/secrecy functions and overlay them into Florida state politics. Arguably, Florida had the strongest public record transparency laws in the country, known collectively as “the sunshine...

Checkpoint inhibitor therapies can be thought of as the molecular "brake release" for the immune system. These drugs eliminate the protein barriers that impede the immune system from recognizing and targeting cancer cells in the body. While there are multiple checkpoint inhibitors approved to treat different types of cancer, many patients don't respond or develop resistance to available regiments. A team has now found that ruxolitinib, an approved immunosuppressive drug, supercharged T-cell responses when used alongside checkpoint inhibitors—boosting their effectiveness in fighting cancer. These findings are supported by a Phase I clinical trial of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, as well...

"Theses ungrateful people" - Colombian immigrant running for Missouri office tells black people to leave the U.S. if they don't like the country - backlash ensues. On her social media page, she belittled Juneteenth and criticized reparations. They are being shoved down our throats. They should be celebrating being born in the greatest nation. Straight White men built roads, buildings, and declared independence

Do We Really Need a “New Ecumenism”?If we could, in a phrase, sum up Western man’s chief flaw, we might say: he never knew when to stop innovating.Innovation and striving towards new ways of developing culture is, of course, a strength of the West. But if one is always discontent with the greatness he achieves, he risks tinkering too much, innovating himself into ruin. Is this not what was done with the Second Vatican Council and its ecumenism? Our elites grew tired of the bastion of the Church of the Pius popes, for there was the allure that the breakaway...

CROMWELL – As Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim prepared to decide the Travelers Championship on the 18th green at TPC River Highlands on Sunday, there was a disruption.A group of five climate protesters ran down from the hill and through the greenside bunkers with red and white smoke canisters.

[Catholic Caucus] The Faithful React to Dark Rumors about the TLMFred Simon was born before Vatican II. He still remembers the ornate gothic paintings in the German parish where he attended Mass with his father and grandfather. Then, one day, the entire interior was whitewashed and a new altar was placed in the middle of the sanctuary. It was the beginning of Simon’s exile from the TLM. Years later, after a priest invited him to see a TLM, Simon found his way back to the Mass of the Ages. He was “awed by the reverence and holiness” he witnessed on...

The U.S. Defense Department is facing a lawsuit to turn over emails and documents about how the agency came to delete the phrase "Duty, Honor, Country" from the mission statement of the United States Military Academy at West Point. The conservative legal watchdog organization Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit against the Defense Department last week after the Military Academy failed to respond to its Freedom of Information Act request filed in March 2024. While the words "Duty, Honor, Country" remain the academy's motto, West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steven Gilland said in March that following a year-and-a-half assessment, the mission...

PHOENIX — Arizona delegates to the Republican National Convention gathered this month in a Phoenix suburb, showing up to get to know each other and learn about their duties.Part of the presentation included a secret plan to throw the party’s nomination of Donald Trump for president into chaos.The instructions did not come from “Never Trumpers” hoping to stop the party from nominating a felon when delegates gather in Milwaukee next month. They instead came from avowed “America First” believers hatching a challenge from the far right — a plot to release the delegates from their pledge to support Trump, according...

Imagine, for a moment, that the Iranian government ann­ounces it has developed a nuc­lear bomb and threatens to use it on Israel. The United States reacts with the threat of military intervention, as it did in 1991 and 2003 in Iraq. Iran signals that it will not tolerate a third Gulf war and looks for allies. American forces mass to enter Iran, which orders national mobilisation. Russia, China and North Korea express their support for Iran, and Washington expands its intervention force, bringing in a British contingent. Russia enters the game, raising the stakes in the expectation that the West...

The composition of the intestinal flora can predict the chances of developing serious infections such as pneumonia. Researchers followed more than 10,000 people for six years. More than 600 people who had less healthy intestinal flora developed a serious infection, with this leading in some cases to death. The 602 people who were hospitalized due to an infection showed at the start of the study that they had fewer butyrate-producing bacteria in their microbiome. Butyrate is a small fatty acid that is known to have a positive impact on the immune system of mice. It has also been seen before...

Patients with pancreatic cancer who received chemotherapy both before and after surgery experienced longer survival rates than would be expected from surgery followed by chemotherapy, according to a new study. The study included patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which accounts for 90% of pancreatic cancers. An aggressive cancer with a high mortality rate, PDAC is predicted to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. by 2030. The findings are encouraging for the 15 to 20% of pancreatic cancer patients whose tumors are operable. The single-arm (only one treatment type or regimen) Phase II trial evaluated...

As a child of the ’70s and ’80s, I, along with my age mates, remember Cold War nuclear annihilation fears well. Oh, I was born after “duck and cover” days, but we did, for example, have the post-apocalyptic 1983 film The Day After, which portrayed a nuclear war’s consequences. Watched by 100 million-plus Americans — more than half our adult population at the time — it’s credited for creating impetus for policies that reduced the atomic threat. Even then-President Ronald Reagan was “greatly depressed” by the movie, as he wrote in his diary, and it stiffened his resolve to, as...
