MSNBC has faced widespread backlash after publishing an opinion piece sympathizing with the killer of Laken Riley. Legal analyst Danny Cevallos came under fire for his take on the Georgia nursing student's brutal murder and the trial of Jose Ibarra, 25, an illegal immigrant and member of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, published under a headline saying he 'never stood a chance.'

Blood pressure is a crucial indicator of our overall health and well-being. Prolonged high blood pressure, or hypertension, can lead to severe complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and vision loss.1 American Heart Association. Health Threats from High Blood Pressure. Yet millions of Americans are living with elevated blood pressure, and many don’t even know it.2 Even though maintaining healthy blood pressure is crucial, there are many myths surrounding high blood pressure. These misconceptions can be dangerous, as they downplay the need for regular monitoring and proactive management.

“The National Security Divisions of the DOJ and FBI are the greatest domestic threats to the American people and the concept of Constitutional rule of law today.” — Scott Ritter. Okay, you’ve had enough post-election euphoria. Time to wake TF up. Rats from inside the walls of the Deep State are trying to gnaw their way into the Trump cabinet. Ever hear of an outfit called Cipher Brief? Of course not. Cipher Brief is sort of the McKinsey of blob-world (a.k.a. the “national security” network), a combination Human Relations / Public Relations firm, totally spooked-up with former CIA officers. Quite...

A smiling Sarah Palin posted a cryptic photo at the Capitol — teasing a possible announcement as her followers call for the “Mother of MAGA” to have a place in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. The former governor of Alaska grinned in the photo posted Thursday showing her in dark workout gear and pink sneakers and pointing a finger with the Capitol behind her.She posted it with the mysterious caption “11/24,” closing off any replies while not explaining why she included Sunday’s date. Her tease came just days after she reposted a supporter’s call for her to have a key role...

A North Dakota woman learned that unlike LGBT symbols, Christian messaging on a Target name tag could mean trouble. Target has apologized and reportedly offered to reinstate a North Dakota employee who claims she was fired for writing "trust in Jesus" in marker on her name tag. Target vows on its corporate site to "make decisions regarding employment opportunities, including hiring, promotion and advancement, without regard" to religious beliefs and states it wants a company "where all feel seen, heard and welcome." Denise Kendrick of Fargo was seen and then made unwelcome on Nov. 16 by the DEI-captive organization. Kendrick...

Actions have consequences. President-elect Donald Trump’s team is acting on that ethos and preparing to challenge the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague with sanctions after it initiated arrest warrants against Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC moved against the Israeli leaders on Thursday for supposed war crimes committed in Gaza by Israel as it retaliated Hamas terrorists over their deadly raid last year. The move came after President Joe Biden back in May revoked Trump’s original executive order against the ICC. ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, who faces sexual misconduct allegations, initiated...

It was a long shot, but we all held out hope that Matt Gaetz could beat the odds and become our next attorney general. Once again, though, the RINOs played their dirty games and eked out a victory. But don’t worry—this setback is only temporary, because we’re just getting started. The war is far from over. As we assess what happened and how this loss unfolded, one thing is crystal clear: the Gaetz nomination was killed by a fresh-faced RINO from the same state that brought us one of the most infamous #NeverTrumpers in history—Utah. ... Yes, we finally got...

Political scientist Jason Johnson on Thursday called Pam Bondi — who is President-elect Donald Trump’s new choice for U.S. Attorney General — a savvy legal operator who can advance Trump’s agenda. During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat With Ari Melber,” Johnson also said that Bondi’s expertise in areas like immigration enforcement makes her a “dangerous and effective pick.” Bondi previously served as Florida’s attorney general. “Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear because she’s competent. We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do...

While it may seem like we're comparing apples to oranges here, it's surprising to see how something as seemingly harmless as bottled salad dressing can share a pitfall with a classic salty snack like potato chips—an excess of sodium. This might not be a concern for everyone, but for those managing heart disease or high blood pressure, it's worth paying attention. Research suggests a high sodium diet is associated with both hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Potato chips top the list of high sodium foods. A single serving bag (1-¼ ounces) has 210 milligrams of sodium, 10% of the recommended daily...

Their outfit has been especially adapted to a hard and rapid campaign. The morale of the entire army is unequaled,...

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) suggested in a recent interview that the Department of Justice (DOJ) staff is worried it will become a “law firm” for President-elect Trump during his second stint in the White House. His claim came shortly after Trump tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the DOJ following former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) withdrawal from consideration. “So, she’s really presiding over the bureaucracy,” Raskin, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” in an interview Thursday. “That is where she will be the key transmission belt between Donald Trump’s orders...

In case you haven't noticed, it hasn't rained in New York in a pretty long time. As nice as that might sound like, the environment—and, in turn, New Yorkers—are feeling the repercussions of the unseasonal weather. Following a red flag warning that lasted nearly a week—a forecast issued by the National Weather Service to alert the public and land management agencies about the potential for fires and rapid spread given the lack of rain and increased wind—New York State is now under a burn ban order. The statewide burn ban will be in effect until, at least, November 30. What...

Justin Trudeau chooses to side with the ICC and Hamas against Israel.. He does so standing next to Chrystia Freeland, whose grandfather was a leading Nazi in his day. History echoes. ... Freeland's Chomiak grandfather was a prolific antisemitic propagandist during the war.

On Tuesday, Georgia rested its case in the murder trial of Laken Riley, the 22-year-old Georgia nursing student who was allegedly brutally murdered by illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra. Prosecutors said Ibarra murdered Riley because she “refused to be his rape victim.” It was a ruthless murder that could and should have been avoided. Riley should still be alive today. Unsurprisingly, Democrats have remained quiet during the trial. Compare this to the chaos and rage they caused after the death of career criminal George Floyd. Yet, unlike Floyd, Riley was not a criminal. Unlike Floyd, Riley was not resisting arrest when...

Over the past two weeks, President-elect Trump has engaged in rapid-fire announcements of his picks for the cabinet and other top positions. Among the announced selections are Trump’s nominees for the three top positions in climate and energy policy: EPA Administrator (Lee Zeldin), Secretary of Energy (Chris Wright), and Secretary of the Interior (Doug Burgum). In this post I will take a first look at these nominees. Without doubt, these three Trump appointees will be an enormous improvement over the Biden administration functionaries they will replace (EPA Administrator Michael Regan, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland). The...

BERLIN — Newly uncovered footage appears to show Adolf Hitler doing the famous Trump dance. "The similarities between Trump and Hitler run much deeper than we thought," said CNN's Jake Tapper as he unveiled the footage. "They even danced the same. We in the media tried to warn the country, but no one listened." The footage, recovered by German officials while cataloging their archives and converting hard copy files to digital, shows Adolf Hitler dancing at one of his many rallies. He is seen pumping his arms, feet planted firmly in place, while his body sways gently back and forth...

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. The prototype of Thanksgiving dates back to the Pilgrims who celebrated their first harvest in the New World in 1621 with their new friends, the Native-Americans. Alas, giving thanks is often the exception, not the rule. In the Gospel of Luke, ten lepers cried out to Jesus from a distance, begging Him to heal them. Leprosy was a dread disease where one’s flesh rotted from the inside out until they died. And it was highly contagious. In those days leprosy was a virtual death sentence. But then Jesus walked by.
