Concussion researchers have recognized a new concussion sign that could identify up to 33% of undiagnosed concussions. After a hit to the head, individuals sometimes quickly shake their head back and forth. Although it has been depicted in movies, television, and even cartoons for decades, this motion has never been studied, named, and does not appear on any medical or sports organization's list of potential concussion signs. A new study says it should. The study reveals that when athletes exhibit this movement, named a "Spontaneous Headshake After a Kinematic Event" or SHAAKE, athletes report they had a concussion 72% of...

With a little over a week to go, there is one major federal issue I have not recently wargamed: The United States Senate. The Senate is vital to the implementation of any presidential agenda; not only does this upper house have an up-or-down on all legislation, but they are also responsible for the "advise and consent" function for executive branch officials and, perhaps most important of all, federal judges - including Supreme Court justices.If Donald Trump and JD Vance win this election, which is looking increasingly likely, they'll need a friendly Congress. So, let's take a look at some key...

The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times sparked intense debate this week by announcing they will not endorse a presidential candidate for the 2024 election, marking a significant departure from long-standing tradition. The Post’s publisher, Will Lewis, framed the decision as a return to the paper’s roots as an independent voice — though the editorial board says it had drafted an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris that was allegedly blocked by owner Jeff Bezos (a claim Lewis denies). The Post's humor writer, Alexandra Petri, ended up using her column to endorse Harris after the fact. The Post editor-at-large Robert...

When former President Donald Trump’s campaign announced it would be holding a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Democrats and their close friends and allies in the activist media pounced on the opportunity to further their “Trump is a Nazi/Fascist/Hitler” narrative.Folks on the left claimed Trump chose that venue supposedly to reenact a Nazi rally that was held at the arena in 1939. But, as usual, there’s a problem: A large number of Jewish people showed up at the event to support the former president.During a Thursday appearance on CNN, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton chimed in...

Women from a university in Madhya Pradesh, India, have taken part in a new protest against men who have beards - because of the chafing caused when they kiss. Wearing beard wigs and holding placards that read “no clean shave, no love”, the women chanted as they marched through the streets of Indore. Onlookers could be seen giggling and filming the women as they protested.

On the morning of former President Donald Trump’s historic Madison Square Garden rally, thousands of supporters lined up nearly six hours before he was scheduled to take the stage. Tickets for the event, which seats nearly 20,000 people, were first-come, first-serve and were sold out within minutes of being announced. Political icons such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tucker Carlson, Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance, and Democrat-turned-Republican Tulsi Gabbard are set to speak at the rally. Music artists, Trump family members, Elon Musk, and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White will also attend, who will reportedly tell the crowd...

Either we're all falling for an incredibly elaborate psyop, or the Harris-Walz campaign is in so much trouble even foreign media outlets can sense it. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Kamala Harris’s campaign is facing intense scrutiny as Democrats worry she’s losing ground in the 2024 race. Her recent week has been plagued by sinking poll numbers, criticism from her own party, and a widely criticized CNN town hall. To make matters worse, Donald Trump had a successful photo op at McDonald's and managed to score an interview with Joe Rogan, which got huge ratings. Harris now...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — With just a little over a week to go until Election Day, Ohio has now seen 1.6 million ballots cast in the 2024 election as of Sunday evening. Here are three takeaways from the data released by the Ohio Secretary of State's Office about who has already cast their vote across the state.1. Ohio sees robust Republican strength in the early vote The most immediate takeaway that is inescapable to avoid when looking at Ohio's early voting data is how much stronger the Republican vote is over Democrats in the state. As of Sunday evening, the Ohio...

1 John 3:5,8 1 John 3:5 KJV And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. So, the works of the devil have to do with sin. Because before sin there was no works of the devil. In Genesis 3:22 it reads, And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one...

Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter Ella Emhoff has warned followers on social media to not 'let the worry take over' ahead of the looming election. The 25-year-old daughter of Harris's husband Doug Emhoff made the remark in an Instagram story Saturday, where she also urged onlookers to get out and vote. The strongly-worded suggestion was delivered on the first day of early voting, which allows Americans to cast a ballot until November 3. Election Day is on November 5. It also came as Donald Trump continues to make headway in swing states, with polls in recent weeks showing how he and Harris...

A Jewish man reportedly on his way to Synagogue was ambushed and shot from behind in Chicago on Saturday by a man allegedly yelling, “Allah Akbar.” He was later taken down by police. The first shooting occurred at around 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning in the 2600 block of North Washtenaw Avenue in the city’s West Rogers Park neighborhood, an area that is home to a large Orthodox Jewish community.

The multi-billionaire owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, continued facing criticism throughout the weekend because executives from his aerospace company met with Donald Trump on the same day the newspaper prevented its editorial team from publishing an endorsement of his opponent in the US presidential election. Senior news and opinion leaders at the Washington Post flew to Miami in late September 2024 to meet with Bezos, who had reservations about the paper issuing an endorsement in the 5 November election, the New York Times reported. Amazon and the space exploration company Blue Origin are among Bezos-owned businesses that still...

Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance has slammed CNN and its anchor Jake Tapper for pushing the Russia collusion narrative. Vance questioned the news outlet and Tapper for their lack of “integrity” as they sat down for an interview on Sunday. The tense exchange came after Tapper questioned Vance over accusations by John Kelly that Donald Trump wanted generals like Hitler. Kelly’s comments about Trump being a “fascist” went viral last week after it was pushed by the Harris campaign and Democrat lawmakers. The Ohio Senator hit back at the anchor’s question, criticising how CNN fixates on reporting anti-Trump claims. Vance...

MSNBC Plays Clip of Nazi Rally from 1939 When Covering Trumps Madison Square Garden Rally They compared it to a Nazi Rally there in 1939 showing old video clips and running a banner They called it “particularly chilling”

Because he’s not an American, he can say what American journalists refuse to say, which is that Americans are desperate for Trump’s fight and love of country. I’ve been toying with several ideas for writing today, but they all went out the window when I saw Bruno Maçães’s “Letter from Michigan,” published in The New Statesman, an outlet that even Wikipedia identifies as “far left.” Maçães’s essay presents a shattering view of America. And through that view, he ably explains why increasing numbers of Americans are looking to Trump, who promises to restore our nation’s former greatness, rather than to...

I participated in a Standout this past Saturday in my Bluest of Blue states. This is probably the fourth one I have been to in the past several months, and every single one of them was very satisfying and even entertaining. We always had good turnouts on our side, excellent responses from the citizenry passing in their cars, and a total lack of Leftists. The Conservatives standing out the prior weekend in the same location said they had several Leftists who were mingling in and causing problems, so they asked if we could attend their standout to bolster their numbers...

In 2016, Trump stunned the nation by defeating Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Instantly, Democrats were shocked and began to melt down. Images of Clinton supporters falling to their knees, crying and screaming, went viral. Much of the corporate media was no less hysterical, decrying Jan. 20, 2017 as a dark day for America. Eight years later, after being dragged from courthouse to courthouse, two assassination attempts and being labeled a “fascist” by his opponents daily, Trump has a real chance at another victory against long odds. The Daily Caller spoke to various experts across the political landscape about what...
