Vascular Dementia Diagnosis Doctors can nearly always determine that you have dementia, but there's no specific test that confirms you have vascular dementia. Your doctor will make a judgment about whether vascular dementia is the most likely cause of your symptoms based on the information you provide, your medical history for stroke or disorders of the heart and blood vessels, and results of tests that may help clarify your diagnosis. ... Brain imaging Images of your brain can pinpoint visible abnormalities caused by strokes, blood vessel diseases, tumors or trauma that may cause changes in thinking and reasoning. A brain-imaging...

General Milley made a call to his Chinese counterpart in 2020 advising them that if “unstable” Trump, refused to leave the WH and gave the order to nuke China, he would give them a heads up first. So, doesn’t it make sense now that the world sees the real Biden that Austin should give China, even Russia, the same courtesy?

I tried looking up the number of times that Democrats and MSM figures called for Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment against Donald Trump, but I couldn't find a reliable source. What I did find was something I didn't recall: the Democrat House of Representatives passed a resolution calling on Pence to depose Trump in January 2021--just days before Trump was scheduled to leave office. It was widely discussed in the media then, and many, many times during his presidency. It makes sense. After all, within 20 minutes (no, I am not exaggerating in this case), The Washington Post...

Has Yahya Sinwar lost control of his Hamas brigades in Gaza? New reports in Israeli media suggest that the terrorist general has lost touch with his commanders in more ways than one. Leadership appears to have fractured over hostage-release discussions, as Hamas brigades face annihilation. And Sinwar apparently can't be found, according to diplomatic sources:Several senior Hamas figures in Gaza have urged the terror group’s exiled political leadership to accept the ceasefire and hostage deal proposal championed by US President Joe Biden, according to internal communications seen by The Associated Press.The messages, shared by a Middle East official familiar with...

Gretchen Whitmer--the decidedly "meh" Governor of Michigan, has been one of the favorites for donors and political insiders for the nominee of the Democrat Party should President Biden step down or be forced out of the race. Early on in the post-debate saga, she was clearly angling for the job, but as the Biden Crime Family run by the triumvirate of Joe, Jill, and Hunter made clear that Slow Joe wasn't leaving, she has begun to backtrack. Now she is shutting down the speculation that she is open to the job, although there has been no Shermanesque "If nominated I...

As speculation continues to swirl around the frenzied campaign to replace Joe Biden and just who that replacement might be, the names of several prominent blue state governors have been widely reported on and discussed, like Gavin Newsom in California and Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer. Vice President Kamala Harris, on the other hand, has almost been an afterthought. In a hypothetical situation where there is talk of replacing the president at the top of the ticket, you'd think the default answer would be to turn to the veep - and stay there. But we are not in normal times, this is...

Sorry, this one is a myth.A former McDonald's chef isn't just debunking the myth that McDonald's burgers never go bad and that their buns never mold, he's giving us a very specific reason why they appear to stay fresh-looking forever. "When anyone talks about the McDonald's burgers never going bad, that is false. What is happening is that bun or burger is becoming dehydrated," Mike Haracz, a former corporate chef for McDonald's, shared on his TikTok. As Haracz explained, McDonald's puts mold-inhibiting ingredients in its burgers and buns, so when they are "stored in an enclosed environment to keep them...

A Coast Guard member's TikTok shows us how much good McDonald's food we're missing out on by not being in Guantanamo Bay.McDonald’s is known for its localized menus in different places around the world. The food you get at a Micky D’s in Europe or Asia will not be the same as the food you can pick from here in the United States. That’s super neat, and it turns out the best McDonald’s in the world very well may be in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Yes, that Guantanamo Bay. Imagine pulling up to the U.S. prison McDonald’s in your Humvee and...

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Biden Campaign Advisory Board member Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) reacted to calls from House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) for White House Physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor to testify on why he met with a Parkinson’s specialist by stating that Comer “attacks scientists and Dr. Fauci,” and “goes from one tinfoil hat conspiracy theory hearing to the next.” And he trusts President Joe Biden. Host Erin Burnett asked, “[Y]ou are also on the House Oversight Committee, so I want to ask you about this, Congressman, the Chairman of your committee, James Comer, is...

Tom Fowler, best known as the bassist for Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention, has died. The musician suffered complications from an aneurysm and passed on July 2. He was 73. So sad to report another big loss in the Zappa community. Tom Fowler left us yesterday, July 2, 2024. He was a hero to me. The first time I heard Echidna’s I almost fell over when he played the big 5/16 lick on the bass! I had no idea that a clumsy bass could do such a thing! He was an inspiration for me to buy a bass...

Joe Biden’s self-inflicted electoral crisis is a classic case study in the “sunk cost fallacy.” As Vice President Kamala Harris and party leaders pour resources into the president’s flailing campaign, the argument that Biden is the only one who can defeat Donald Trump in November and “protect democracy” is increasingly falling on electoral and donor deaf ears. Coined in 1980 by economist Richard Thaler, the sunk-cost fallacy describes a cognitive bias that leads people to double down on failed strategies in which they have invested time, resources and emotional energy. Thaler used this concept to describe the irrational decisions that...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the far-left “Squad” leader in Congress, announced her support for President Joe Biden on Monday despite calls within his own party to step down following his disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump. The congresswoman shared her position in a statement in which she called the matter “closed” due to the president’s insistence to stay in the race: I have spoken to the President over the weekend. I have spoken with him extensively. He made clear then and he has made clear since that he is in this race. The matter is closed. He had reiterated...

Ryanair passengers have called their recent trip from Morocco to the U.K. a “flight from hell” after it was forced to land during a “mass brawl” before being canceled altogether. The London Stansted Airport-bound flight was forced to return to Agadir Al-Massira International Airport after less than 40 minutes in the air due to a fight erupting over seating assignments, the Sun reported. The altercation reportedly began when a man in his late 20s asked a woman traveling with her daughter if he could have her seat to be closer to his wife and children. When the woman declined, the...

Michael Moore is blasting President Biden’s allies, accusing them of “elder abuse” for “pushing” the commander in chief to stay in the race against former President Trump. “The problem here is that I think there’s a form of elder abuse going on here, where the Democratic Party and the people that are part of the apparatus are pushing and pushing and pushing him to stay,” the “Fahrenheit 9/11” director told MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin in an interview Sunday. “In spite of my criticisms about Gaza with Biden, watching the debate a week ago was heartbreaking,” Moore said of the president’s performance...

Actress Joan Benedict, who worked in TV and on stage over the course of decades, has died at the age of 96. Benedict passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on June 24 due to complications she suffered after a stroke, a spokesperson for the family of the late actress confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter on Monday. Among the most high-profile projects Benedict worked on included Candid Camera, the original Steve Allen Show and soaps such as General Hospital and Days of Our Lives, and a stage show in which she played late hotelier Leona Helmsley. Benedict had...

During his State of the Union address in March, President Biden announced an ambitious American initiative to get more aid into the Gaza Strip — a $230 million floating pier off the coast of the war-torn territory. Biden explained that the Joint Logistics Over The Shore pier “would enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day.” It didn’t. Barely a week into the operation, four US Army boats broke free from their moorings and floated off. One washed up on an Israeli beach.

Senior Democratic strategist David Axelrod raised questions Monday about former President Trump’s current strategy of keeping quiet amid rising concerns over President Biden’s health and candidacy. “Trump’s not talking much about Biden’s bad debate. Trump’s campaign is not blitzing ads about it. And Lara Trump said last week it would be an affront to democracy if Biden were not the nominee,” Axelrod wrote in a social media post. “Question: Why do you think they are uncharacteristically holding fire?” Axelrod, a longtime adviser to former President Obama, has been an outspoken critic of the Biden campaign in recent weeks as the...
