Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was carted off the field and in tears after sustaining an apparent Achilles injury on a non-contact play during Cleveland’s game against the Bengals on Sunday. With the Browns driving and facing a second-and-6, Watson took the snap, hesitated and pivoted up the middle on a designed run before crumpling to the field.

I was sound asleep until around 3 AM when I awoke with this thought.Went back to sleep, woke up again, went to church and got home and the thought has been with me all day like a stupid tune that won't leave my head.

Journalists and political commentators responded on social media to an article from The Atlantic comparing former President Trump to multiple fascist dictators, including Adolf Hitler. The Atlantic article, headlined, “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini” was published Friday. “The former president has brought dehumanizing language into American presidential politics,” Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum argued. “When you spend 8 years calling a person every bad name you can think of — including Hitler — only to see that it’s not working, so you desperately decide the only thing left for you to do is call him all the bad...

said on NewNation’s “The Hill Sunday” that claims about flaws in voting from Republicans will “hurt” turnout for his party. Host Chris Stirewalt said, “Georgia was a focal point for efforts to overturn the in 2020 by Donald Trump and it appears we’ve already started down that road again. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday was pushing a story claiming voting machines were rigged in Whitfield County. Is there any truth to those allegations?” Raffensperger said, “Absolutely none. George is ranked number one for election integrity by the National Bipartisan Center and then at the very at the top of...

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that it was not an overstatement to call former President Donald Trump a fascist. Newsom said, “I said this from day one, he is weakness masquerading a strength. He’s a broken person. You are seeing that. He’s becoming increasingly this is remarkable to be able to say this because he is often graded on the curve, and he is increasingly acting deranged and unhinged. The rhetoric coming from the Harris campaign absolutely mimics what we are watching, and you saw that 39 minute curious narcissism on another level, where people had...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday continued to steer clear of criticizing President Joe Biden, arguing that vice presidents not denigrating the commander-in-chief is an American tradition. After she delivered remarks at an afternoon campaign rally, Harris was asked by NBC News to identify one policy she would have done differently from Biden over the last three and a half years. "To be very candid with you, even including Mike Pence, vice presidents are not critical of their presidents. I think that really, actually, in terms of the tradition of it, and also just going forward,...

We recently saw how certain Western nations — first Denmark, then Sweden — have gone from being bastions of free speech and expression to banning any “hate” speech or expression against Islam (for example, burning the Koran). At one point, I wrote, “rather than ban the burning of the Koran, it seems that Scandinavia might have served itself better had it banned the Koran altogether.” Such an assertion is not as whimsical as it might seem.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday he believes former President Trump will be similar to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he is reelected. “To those people who are saying, ‘well, I can’t support Harris because she disagrees [with] Trump on that issue’ … he will be closer to Netanyahu,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Sanders said he thinks Vice President Harris can be moved “on that issue” of the Israel-Hamas war. Harris has called for a cease-fire deal and pushed for the war in Gaza to end, but she faces scrutiny from both sides — from...

If we are to take back the culture, it is our job to define aesthetics and what is beautiful.

(NewsNation) — Former President Donald Trump has a busy Sunday schedule ahead of him, 16 days until Election Day — he’s scheduled for a work shift at McDonald’s. Trump will be hosting a rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, attending the Jets-Steelers NFL game in Pittsburgh, and is set to work behind the counter at a McDonald’s in Lower Southampton Township, his campaign says. But for Rep. Scott Perry, R-PA, this will “highlight he’s for the working class,” he said on NewsNation’s “Morning in America with Hena Doba” on Sunday.

Trump said last week he will do ‘everything’ during his McDonald’s visit after claiming Harris lied about previously working at the fast-food chain.

Acute pancreatitis (AP), which affects people of all ages, is one of the leading causes of hospital admission due to gastrointestinal diseases. To date, many questions regarding the optimal treatment of acute pancreatitis remain unanswered. A team combined human genetic epidemiology and animal models to discover and confirm the role of vitamin B12 in the prevention and mitigation of acute pancreatitis. Fan explained that the team first conducted meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). They then employed a Mendelian randomization approach to investigate the relationships between various one-carbon metabolism nutrients and the risk of pancreatitis. The analysis revealed that higher...

MSNBC host Al Sharpton and frequent guest Donny Deutsch expressed fears Friday that Donald Trump would place them on an enemy’s “list” if he was elected president again, suggesting imprisonment or worse awaited them. Deutsch, known for his excitable anti-Trump screeds on “Morning Joe,” said Trump would put enemies in jail and there would be no free media in another Trump administration, turning suddenly to Sharpton and asking, “Are you worried, going forward, that you’re on a list if Donald Trump is elected? Yes or no?”

Democrats are profoundly indifferent to the crime costs of their open borders policies on ordinary Americans. One of the most disgraceful moments in Kamala Harris’s interview with Fox News's Bret Baier was when he brought up several of the young women murdered by criminal migrants who have entered the country illegally since Biden and Harris took office. There have been many, many, more Americans raped and/or murdered, children abused and molested by these criminal illegals who have crossed our border, but Baier focused on just a few. He asked Harris if she owed the parents of those victims an apology...

Most children develop arches in their feet by early adolescence. About 20 percent, however, have pes planovalgus (PPV), also known as flexible flatfoot. Until recently in the U.S., children have had two options at extreme ends of the treatment spectrum: conservative treatment or complex foot reconstruction with multiple osteotomies. A third option that bridges the gap between conservative treatment and foot reconstruction is practiced widely in several European countries—and has been for decades. Subtalar extra-articular screw arthroereisis (SESA), also known as calcaneo-stop, is a minimally invasive procedure to correct symptomatic flexible flatfoot without complex foot reconstruction. During a SESA procedure,...

So Yahya Sinwar has been killed. The leader of Hamas in Gaza is no more. The man widely believed to have been the architect of the pogrom of 7 October has been eliminated. The worst mass murderer of Jews since the Nazi era has been served the ultimate and most righteous punishment. The fascist is dead. This is a great day not only for Israel and the Jewish diaspora that has been smarting for more than a year from the horrors that Sinwar and his army of anti-Semites visited on southern Israel, but also for all of humanity. It was...

VIDEOMuch of the October 20, 2024 "State Of The Uniton" on CNN was concerned with Jake Tapper's obsession over the size of a certain body part belonging to golfer Arnold Palmer. Tapper just wouldn't let it go to the extent of grilling House Speaker Mike Johnson to weigh in on this topic as if it were the utmost concern of this election. Even Bernie Sanders joined in with Tapper's Arnold Palmer body part obsession.Note: In case you're wondering, NO AI was used to make a certain word pop out of Jake Tapper's mouth over and over again. This all happened...

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is noninferior to conventional or moderately fractionated radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer (PC), according to a study. Nicholas van As and colleagues assessed whether SBRT is noninferior to conventionally or moderately hypofractionated regimens in patients with localized PC. The analysis included patients randomly assigned to SBRT (36.25 Gy in five fractions over one or two weeks) or control radiotherapy (78 Gy in 39 fractions over 7.5 weeks or 62 Gy in 20 fractions over four weeks). The researchers found that at a median follow-up of 74.0 months, the five-year incidence of freedom from biochemical or clinical...

Glioblastomas are aggressive brain tumors with a median survival time of less than 22 months despite standard therapy including surgery, irradiation, and chemotherapy. It has become clear in recent years that not all cells within the brain tumor have an equal potential to divide and drive tumor growth. As such, a fraction of tumor cells called brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) are thought to be the primary origin of tumor re-growth after surgery, in addition to being resistant to standard treatments including chemotherapy and irradiation. Therefore, targeting BTSCs may be a way to effectively treat glioblastomas. In an effort to...

A Colorado management company has shared brutal surveillance footage and a photo of a bloodied employee to illustrate its ongoing problem with a violent Venezuelan migrant gang. Brooklyn-based CBZ Management, which operates 11 complexes in Colorado, has said that members of Tren de Aragua commandeered entire apartment buildings in Aurora by threatening its employees and tried to extort the company for a cut of rent money in exchange for their continued operation of the properties. One of the company's buildings made national headlines earlier this year after surveillance footage showed a heavily-armed group of men, allegedly members of the Venezuelan...
