Human “bodyoids” could reduce animal testing, improve drug development, and alleviate organ shortages. ====================================================================== Why do we hear about medical breakthroughs in mice, but rarely see them translate into cures for human disease? Why do so few drugs that enter clinical trials receive regulatory approval? And why is the waiting list for organ transplantation so long? These challenges stem in large part from a common root cause: a severe shortage of ethically sourced human bodies. It may be disturbing to characterize human bodies in such commodifying terms, but the unavoidable reality is that human biological materials are an essential commodity...

Article II of the Constitution says that “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” Under the Constitution, the President is the Executive Branch. But over the years, Congress has tried to encroach on presidential powers in a variety of ways. Congress has created executive agencies, some of them supposedly “independent,” and has tried to insulate them from Presidential control–often, by providing terms in office that are not subject to the president’s power of removal.At the beginning of his administration, President Trump exercised his Article II authority by firing a number of Executive...

The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine has suggested a provisional UN administration in Russia, beginning in a city in the Arctic region that was once a labor camp. The proposal was made by Heorhii Tykhyi, the Ministry’s spokesperson, in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s call for Ukraine to have a UN-led government to organize elections. Tykhyi made the tongue-in-cheek suggestion in a post on X. “Counter-offer: temporary UN governance in Russia, starting with Vorkuta. It seems that locals would benefit greatly from any governance other than Putin, who spends billions of dollars on his criminal war against Ukraine,” he posted...

Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 Anna Paulina Luna alleges NBC is withholding a tape showing Lee Harvey Oswald standing next to JFK’s motorcade — not inside the School Book Depository — during the assassination.

In a study published on March 26 in Nature Communications, the team showed that certain quantum states can retain their essential information even when exposed to environmental "noise" that would normally disrupt them...Quantum entanglement, the strange connection that allows particles to instantly affect each other regardless of distance, is central to many quantum technologies...But despite its promise, entanglement is extremely fragile. In real-world settings, it can quickly break down due to background light, stray signals, imperfect detectors, or lost photons. These forms of environmental noise can sever the connection between entangled particles, making them useless for transmitting quantum information...To overcome...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he finds it “sick” that Attorney General Pam Bondi was in “opposition to the rule of law” by saying judges should be impeached. On Fox News, Bondi said, “Many judges need to be removed, Judge Howell, included Judge Reyes, Judge Boasberg. These judges obviously cannot be impartial. They cannot be objective. They are district judges trying to control our entire country, our entire country. And they’re trying to obstruct Donald Trump’s agenda.” Guest host Alicia Menendez said, “Remove the attorneys, remove the judges and then you have the Speaker of...

Editor’s Note: Below is Grok, the chatbot for xAI that is available on X, answering the question about why xAI just acquire X. For those unfamiliar with how chatbot articles work, they take data available to them through their various datasets and compile what they believe to be “scholarly” or “journalistic” posts. They are rarely accurate, though they’re getting better. In this case, the article that Grok spit out is accurate… almost eerily so… ============================================================== On March 28, 2025, Elon Musk announced that xAI, his artificial intelligence company, had acquired X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, in...

THIS is the terrifying moment Vladimir Putin's suicide drones blitzed a hotel resort and a restaurant sparking a massive explosion. At least four people have been killed and 19 others injured so far in the mass shahed drone attack that rocked Dnipro late on Friday night. Horror dashcam footage shows the moment one of the shahed drones struck Bartolomeo Best River Resort hotel - sparking a huge inferno. Within minutes, the building - including a ship-like structure at the entry point - was engulfed in flames. Pictures shared on social media showed the shattered interior of a building, the badly...

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a decisive blow to the left’s relentless lawfare on Friday. The court granted an emergency stay, suspending a lower court’s absurd preliminary injunction that sought to hamstring Elon Musk, the United States DOGE Service, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from carrying out their mission to streamline a bloated and inefficient government—starting with the outdated United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The original ruling, handed down by a Maryland district court on March 18 by Judge Theodore Chuang, was a textbook case of judicial overreach, cheered on by 26 anonymous USAID...

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said on Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Donald Trump was using “secret police” to cause people to “disappear” like authoritarian regimes do. While discussing a Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, being detained by ICE agents, guest host Alicia Menendez said, “Let’s talk about that video that we all just watched, the tactics ICE agents use on Ozturk and then for the next 24 hours, her location being unknown even to her own lawyers.” Van Hollen said, “You’re absolutely right. look, this is a terrifying video. It was obviously terrifying for her, Miss Ozturk....

Some Blue Jays fans booed the United States' national anthem at Toronto's home opener against the Baltimore Orioles. There were scattered but audible boos from the sold-out crowd at Rogers Centre as the "The Star-Spangled Banner" was sung by the 40-person ensemble from the local stage production of "the Lion King." Those jeers turned to cheers and singing as the crowd joined in with the musical's cast for "O Canada" as members of the Canadian armed forces unfurled a giant Canadian flag in the outfield. Fans at hockey, basketball and pro wrestling events in Canada have been booing the U.S....

Vatican II and the Most Wicked Swindle Since Satan Tempted Eve in the GardenIn the name of a fraudulent unity based on appeasing Protestants, Cardinal Bea managed to deceive the apparent leadership of the Catholic Church into abandoning the Great Commission. It was the greatest swindle in salvation history since Satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden.To set the stage for understanding the second greatest swindle in salvation history, it is useful to consider which of the following two statements would sound most correct to the ostensible leaders of the Catholic Church today:Membership in the Church is necessary for...

Columbia University’s interim president resigned from her position at the embattled Ivy League Friday night, just days after she told the Trump administration she would implement a mask ban — while privately promising faculty she would not. Katrina Armstrong’s decision to step down came in the wake of her high-profile battle with the Trump administration over the prestigious New York school’s $400 million in federal funding, sources told the Wall Street Journal Friday. Armstrong said she will return to her role as chief executive officer of the university’s Irving Medical Center, she told students and faculty in a letter Friday....

Hooking up using an app on your phone sounds like a good idea. But the “dates” don’t always go as planned. One Tinder user learned this after his meet-up with a woman in Colorado took a dark turn. Lauren Marie Dooley, 22, has been charged with felony second-degree kidnapping, two counts of second-degree assault, menacing, and false imprisonment. She allegedly pulled out a knife and tried to choke her Tinder date before ordering DoorDash. Colorado Springs Police Department officers were dispatched to E Cache La Poudre Street outside of Colorado Springs after reports of an “unknown call-for-service,” according to the...

Constitutional attorney Alan Dershowitz said Wednesday the U.S. Supreme Court would issue a “divided” decision on President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). A divided three-judge panel from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a temporary injunction by United States District Judge James Boasberg of the District of Columbia issued March 15 that ordered the Trump administration to turn around two planes carrying members of the Venezuelan gang to El Salvador. Dershowitz said the Supreme Court would likely hear the case, but that neither...

A federal appeals court has cleared the way for President Trump to finally fire members of the labor and workforce protection boards. President Trump previously fired Cathy Harris, the Democrat chairwoman of the Merit Systems Protection Board, a Biden holdover – she was then rehired by a corrupt Obama judge. Trump also fired Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board – she was then rehired by a corrupt Obama judge. The Trump DOJ fought back and a federal appeals court agreed that President Trump indeed has the authority to fire them without cause.

A new study shows that among various cognitive abilities, verbal fluency is uniquely linked to longer life in older adults. Everyone ages, but some individuals defy expectations and live far longer than predicted. Research has pointed to an unexpected factor that may play a role in longevity: intelligence. However, intelligence is a complex trait made up of multiple components, such as memory, reasoning, and verbal ability. In a 2024 study published in Clinical Psychological Science, Paolo Ghisletta of the University of Geneva identified one specific aspect of intelligence, verbal fluency, or the ability to access and use vocabulary, as being...
