Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been blocking national security spokesperson John Kirby from joining her at the podium at White House press briefings, people familiar with the matter tell Axios. Why it matters: It's the latest twist in the years-long tense relationship between the White House's two senior spokespeople. Kirby, President Biden's top spokesperson for foreign affairs, joined Jean-Pierre for most briefings after Israel was attacked on Oct. 7, 2023. But for the past two-plus months Kirby has been mostly absent in the briefing room, even as the fighting in the Middle East has continued to escalate. By the...

South Korea’s military says it has fired warning shots near its heavily fortified border with the North after Pyongyang blew up sections of the deeply symbolic roads linking the two countries. At around midday, some parts of the road north of the military demarcation line (MDL) dividing the countries were blown up, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a message sent to media on Tuesday. In response, Seoul’s military “conducted counter-fire” in areas south of the MDL, it added later. Since leader Kim Jong-un declared the South his country’s “principal enemy” earlier this year, the North has laid...

We don’t agree with Democrats often, but Bill Clinton truly nailed it Monday when he admitted Laken Riley’s murder “probably wouldn’t have happened” if migrants had “all been properly vetted.” Correct. Bubba was supposedly stumping for Kamala Harris, trying to defend her horrific record as border czar, when he accidentally told the truth. The 22-year-old Georgia student’s accused killer, Jose Ibarra, had crossed into the United States illegally in 2022 and got promptly released into the interior. Clinton tried to shift blame to Donald Trump, who he claimed is responsible for killing that “bipartisan border bill” that Democrats insist would’ve...

A has demonstrated that a progressive run–walk interval training program, delivered digitally and supported remotely, is not only effective in reducing pain and disability in adults with chronic low back pain (LBP) but is also safe and acceptable for participants. The 12-week program showed promising results in improving pain intensity and physical function. Current treatments for LBP often include exercise to reduce pain and improve physical function, yet there is limited research on the role of running as a viable option. Despite concerns about the safety of running for those with LBP, recreational running has been linked to lower rates...

The dissociation between pathological caloric testing and a normal video head impulse test can differentiate between Meniere disease (MD) and vestibular migraine (VM), according to a study. Vergil Mavrodiev and colleagues examined the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) of the dissociation between a normal/pseudo-normal video head impulse test and reduced caloric testing to differentiate between MD and VM in a retrospective analysis of 2,101 patients. The examination group included 1,100 patients: 57 and 43% had MD and VM, respectively. The comparison group included 1,001 patients with other peripheral, central, or functional vestibular disorders. The...

Vice President Harris is being accused of plagiarizing from several sources in her 2009 book on policing that was released while she was district attorney of San Francisco. The book, "Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer," was co-authored with Joan O'C Hamilton.

He found that "24 fragments are plagiarism from other authors, [and] 3 fragments are self-plagiarism from a work written with a co-author." Manhattan Institute senior...

One day each month, Charlie Kirk, one of the country’s most influential Republican activists, holds an event called Freedom Night in America at Dream City Church, a Pentecostal megachurch on the outskirts of Phoenix. “I truly believe that God has voted early in this election,” he said on a Wednesday in early October, addressing well over 1,000 people from a stage bathed in red, white and blue lights. “I believe that God voted early on July 13, when he spared the life of Donald Trump.” Kirk was only 18 when he helped found the group Turning Point as a sort...
