As Donald Trump and Kamala Harris continue their kabuki dance over whether or when they'll agree to debate, a talk radio show in Philadelphia on Thursday treated its listeners to a hilarious imaginary debate, featuring impersonator stand-ins for the former president and current vice president. There are impersonators who do a good job mimicking voices, affects, cadence, and quirks of the people they impersonate. Then there's Shawn Farash. Close your eyes, and this guy is Donald Trump. At the other podium, Estee Palti delivered a blistering version of Kamala Harris: clueless, hypocritical, and hyena-like laughter. Talk Radio 1210 WPHT absolutely...

Increasing ketone supply to the heart in mice with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) allowed their hearts to utilize more ketones and produce more energy, according to preliminary research. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, a common type of heart failure, occurs when there are signs and symptoms of heart failure with a high left ventricle filling pressure despite normal or a near-normal left ventricle ejection fraction of 50% or higher. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is when the heart's pumping power is 40% or less. Healthy hearts require a high rate of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production...

Two reduced dose radiopharmaceutical therapy approaches for advanced stage metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer have been shown to be just as effective as the standard dose, according to research. Treatment with deescalated 225Ac-PSMA-617 or a cocktail therapy of 177Lu/225Ac-PSMA-617 resulted in similar median overall survival and prostate specific antigen (PSA) response rates as the standard 225Ac-PSMA-617 dose and was better-tolerated. The standard dose for 225Ac-PSMA targeted radiopharmaceutical alpha-therapy is 100 kBq per kilogram of body weight or an approximation of eight MBq. "Preliminary data has shown that reduced doses result in lower rates of dry mouth while still maintaining promising anti-tumor...

A series of bombshell text messages from countersnipers who were supposed to protect Donald Trump at the Pennsylvania rally where an assassin's bullet nearly killed the president showed them a step behind the gunman. Now, it appears a group chat of those meant to protect Trump were aware that gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was in their midst over 90 minutes before Trump was shot at, rather than an hour as the FBI had previously claimed. When one of the three countersnipers was about to call off at the end of their shift at around 4:26pm, they noticed a man...

While a handful of events have already gotten underway at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Friday evening's Opening Ceremony will mark the official start of the Summer Games. The Games will take place over the next 16 days until August 11, yet somehow organizers are already running out of food for athletes in the Olympic Village. Whether it's transportation nightmares, inadequate beds for the most elite athletes on the planet, or general infrastructure issues, some things always go wrong during the Olympics. Running out of food before the Games are even officially underway is a new one, and we're not talking...

Incredible evening with President @realDonaldTrump on the Jersey Shore 🇺🇸

Angry Olympics viewers have been called out as sexists after taking to social media to fume over beach volleyball players ditching bikini bottoms for leggings in Paris. Previously, women's beach volleyball players were forced to wear the bikini bottoms with the International Olympic Committee even mandating how skimpy they were, with official rules stating they could not be more than 7cm on the sides. Those rules were torn up for the Paris Olympics, with athletes now allowed to compete in more modest leggings - creating a social media firestorm. Plenty of viewers have been labelled 'sexist' and 'creeps' for complaining...

Collin Mertz, a 23-year-old farmer in North Dakota, believes American men like himself have been targeted by liberals in the push for diversity. “It would seem the white male is the enemy of the left,” said Mertz, who voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020 and plans to do so again in November. ***The forces of American culture and politics are pushing men and women under age 30 into opposing camps, creating a new fault line in the electorate and adding an unexpected wild card into the 2024 presidential election. Voters under 30 have been a pillar of the...

Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance speaks to the media outside of Park Diner in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Thousands of social media users have threatened to boycott the nascent Paris Olympics after its opening ceremony was widely panned on Friday. Enraged viewers took to X where #boycottOlympics and #boycottParis2024 were seen trending over the course of the following day. In particular, the appearance of a 'naked blue man' among a scene likened to the Last Supper angered many watching, especially Christians. One wrote: 'What a disgraceful opening to the 2024 Olympics #BoycottOlympics.' Another declared they 'didn't even care about the Olympics' but were now '100 per cent boycotting'. 'Why on earth would anyone push so much to offend...

Vice presidential hopeful Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) acknowledged the white supremacist attacks against his wife, Usha Vance, who is a child of Indian immigrants.Usha Vance has faced a slew of far-right attacks targeting her Indian heritage following her husband’s nomination to the Republican ticket. “Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?” prominent white supremacist Nick Fuentes said of Vance after former President Trump announced his running mate. Fuentes was invited to Mar-a-Lago by Trump in November 2022, stirring a...

Warning to Aussie firms on mandatory climate reporting By Marion Rae Updated July 26 2024 – 11:16AM, first published 11:12AM Almost one in five of Australia’s top 200 companies are providing very little reporting on their climate risks ahead of the implementation of mandatory disclosure.
