You certainly won’t see the IDF distributing water to Palestinians in northern Gaza on mainstream media. They say that Israel is sending the residents of Jabalia (northern Gaza) to a “death march” whereas in fact it’s exactly the opposite - we give them food and water and evacuate them to a safe zone so we can destroy the terrorists left behind.

Among the avalanche of questions pouring down on the head of presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, one of the most intriguing is this: where's your sister gone? **SNIP** Kamala has called their bond 'unbreakable'. And, when she received a call from President Joe Biden in July conceding that he would end his re-election campaign and pass the torch to her, Maya was among the first to rush to her sister's side at the vice presidential residence in Washington. However, since then, Maya has largely vanished from public view. Aside from the occasional sighting on the campaign trail, including an on-stage appearance...

Former California first lady and journalist Maria Shriver revealed that only “pre-determined questions” were allowed to be asked of Vice President Kamala Harris at a Michigan town hall event on Monday. “Are we going to be able to ask a question?” a woman attending the Oakland County event asked Shriver ahead of Harris taking the stage with former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, according to the Daily Mail. Shriver shut her down. “You’re not, unfortunately, we have some pre-determined questions,” the former “Dateline” correspondent replied. “Hopefully I’ll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head,”...

Rewriting history? Now to the facts:Times, dates results:Haavara was a program to save Jews. And it did. Zionists or not. It ended before WW2. It ended in 1939 with the start of World War II. And over 2 years before Hitler saw there is a consensus in his government for the "final solution." (Wannsee Conference: Jan 1942). Mufti was against who? He did what?Hitler's mufti didn't advocate against "zionist" Jews, but against any Jew. Just like Hitler. "Kill [preached al Husseini] the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history and religion." [*] Unique: is the only religious...

A Republican-led House committee reviewing the work of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has released a report Republicans say disputes a piece of testimony delivered by one of the panel's star witnesses, Cassidy Hutchinson, during her 2022 testimony. In the report, first obtained by ABC News, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight says a handwriting analyst, who the committee retained, determined that a note Hutchinson testified she had written for then-President Donald Trump to read during the attack on the Capitol was actually written by then-White House lawyer Eric Herschmann... "This...

The White House blamed former President Donald Trump and his administration for the $1.8 trillion deficit the Treasury Department reported last week for fiscal 2024, the third-largest deficit in U.S. history. “The former administration passed tax cuts for billionaires and corporations that have led to where we are currently in this deficit,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told the Washington Examiner on Monday.... Jean-Pierre then compared the Biden administration’s record, including the debt ceiling deal President Joe Biden and then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed to last year which would reduce the deficit by $1.5 trillion over the next decade...

A federal rule banning fake online reviews is now in effect. The Federal Trade Commission issued the rule in August banning the sale or purchase of online reviews. The rule, which went into effect Monday, allows the agency to seek civil penalties against those who knowingly violate it. “Fake reviews not only waste people’s time and money, but also pollute the marketplace and divert business away from honest competitors,” FTC Chair Lina Khan said about the rule in August. She added that the rule will “protect Americans from getting cheated, put businesses that unlawfully game the system on notice, and...

Decades of exercise research data support the common view that steady workouts over the long haul produce not only physical benefits but also improved brain function. But what about single bursts of exercise? A team has taken a closer look. Focusing on subjects between 18–45 years old, first author Jordan Garrett and the team screened thousands of exercise studies published between 1995 and 2023 to determine the consistent trends in the literature. Based on the results of their modeling approach, cycling and high intensity interval training (HIIT) produced the most consistent effects in improvement of memory, attention, executive function, information...

A simple blood test could help doctors identify women in labor who are at risk for preeclampsia—a leading cause of maternal death—and take precautions to prevent it, according to research. While preeclampsia can develop as early as the 20th week of pregnancy, the study focused on identifying women who were at risk for preeclampsia when they were admitted to the hospital in labor. Researchers have determined doctors can predict a woman's risk of developing preeclampsia by calculating the ratio of two blood proteins—fibrinogen and albumin—measured in routine blood tests done when women in labor enter the hospital. Fibrinogen is involved...

According to a report in The New York Times, two separate studies conducted by Omer Gokcumen of the University at Buffalo and Peter Sudmant of the University of California, Berkeley, suggest that hominins began producing more genes to produce amylase, an enzyme that begins digesting starches in the mouth, several hundred thousand years ago, and again some 12,000 years ago. Gokcumen thinks that the first change may be linked to the use of fire and cooking, which would have made starchy tubers more digestible. It has been thought that individuals who had more amylase in their saliva may have been...

Researchers found an FDA-approved drug used to treat breast cancer has the potential to be an effective therapeutic for a specific type of appendix cancer. The clinical trial results show the oral medication, known as palbociclib, stabilized tumor growth and reduced blood tumor marker levels in patients with peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMC). This form of cancer originates in the appendix and is often resistant to standard chemotherapy. "Finding that a breast cancer drug is successful in treating a subset of appendix cancer—where treatment options are currently limited—marks a significant advancement in our fight against this disease," said Andrew Lowy, MD....
