    Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is facing an uphill re-election battle due to declining favorability numbers among Republican primary voters, a new survey from one of the most accurate pollsters found. The new poll, which was conducted by Quantus Insights, surveyed 600 registered voters in the Palmetto State between June 10-13. In terms of overall approval among all voters, Graham finds himself in the red, with 41 percent of respondents voicing approval and 46 percent voicing disapproval. An additional 13 percent of respondents remain undecided. Among Republican respondents, 22 percent said they will “definitely” be backing a challenger to the longtime...

    I do … not. A 42-year-old Texas man discovered he was married to his ex-fiancée without his knowledge when the marriage certificate arrived at his home — just days after the pair broke up. Kristin Marie Spearman, 36, is accused of sending her ex a gift bag from Bath & Body Works that contained some “products” and a copy of an officiated marriage license with their names on June 13, according to Fox 44. Spearman allegedly also included a photo of herself holding up the document that legally recognized their relationship. The spooked victim, who is not being named by...

    A gun-toting crew of nine suspected Tren de Aragua gangbangers unleashed chaos at a Colorado apartment complex — just one year after the notorious Venezuelan gang seized properties across the state and sparked a wave of violent crime. Chilling doorbell footage captured the disturbing moment the violent thugs brandished firearms and repeatedly knocked on the door of a Potomac Street apartment in Aurora on June 9, Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain shared during a news conference Tuesday afternoon. The heavily armed group pestered the complex for about a minute before they left, the footage showed. “There is, without question, gang...

    SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea will send thousands of military construction workers and deminers to support reconstruction work in Russia’s Kursk region, a top Russian official said Tuesday, the latest sign of expanding cooperation between the nations. North Korea has already supplied thousands of combat troops and a vast amount of conventional weapons to back Russia’s war against Ukraine. In April, Pyongyang and Moscow said that their soldiers fought together to repel a Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk border region, though Ukraine has insisted it still has troops present there. Wrapping up a one-day visit to Pyongyang, Russian Security...

    Cries of “death to Khamenei” filled the night air in Tehran on June 15, rising above the thunder of Israeli airstrikes. The same defiant chorus had echoed through the city the night before, as if the people were rehearsing for the fall of the very system they were raised to fear. After five inconclusive rounds of talks between Iran and the United States, Israel launched its military campaign against the Islamic Republic’s leadership last week — and ordinary Iranians are not rallying around the regime. Instead, many are now mocking Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s fundamental miscalculation when he declared during...

    You may have seen news this week that Israel had planned to assassinate the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, before the US reportedly intervened. Donald Trump also warned on social media he knows "exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding." But who is Khamenei? And why would Israel target him? Ali Khamenei is Iran's head of state, and has been for more than three decades. His title puts him above the president, Masoud Pezeshkian, as the country's most powerful religious and political leader. Apart from sweeping powers in governing the country, Khamenei also leads the hardline religious...

    Decades of deception deliberately perpetuated by the abortion industry have given women a false sense of security about the alleged safety of the abortion pill (mifepristone). The abortion industry has attempted to downplay the abortion pill’s risks to women for a very long time, but has in recent years taken to accusing women of ‘overreacting’ when they visit emergency rooms (ER) for adverse events resulting from the abortion pill. If significant numbers of women are visiting ERs due to legitimate concerns about their abortion pill complications, who is at fault? KEY TAKEAWAYS: * Decades ago, the abortion industry began encouraging...
  • Clinical trial demonstrates the impact of therapeutic plasma exchange on biological age

    06/17/2025 9:43:22 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 16 replies
    A first-of-its-kind clinical trial shows that therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) combined with intravenous immunoglobulin reduced biological age on average by 2.6 years, as measured by multi-omic biomarkers. The results provide early data on the impact of TPE on biological age, supporting its potential for new disease and longevity applications. Therapeutic plasma exchange is a procedure that separates, removes, and replaces a patient's plasma to treat certain diseases. The study investigated how TPE impacts biomarkers associated with biological age, including changes across the epigenome, proteome, metabolome, glycome and immune system, alongside physical measures like balance and strength. Research participants were assigned...

    Israeli archaeologists working at a site outside of Caesarea uncovered an exquisitely carved marble sarcophagus that had been buried for nearly 1,700 years, according to a statement released by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). The Roman era coffin -- the first of its kind ever discovered in the region -- depicts a famous scene from mythology: a drinking contest between the god of wine, Dionysus (or Bacchus), and the legendary hero Hercules. A victorious Dionysus is surrounded by a lively retinue of attendants that includes lions, tigers, satyrs, Maenads, and the god Hermes. According to IAA archaeologist Nohar Shahar, the...

    A recent investigation by University College Dublin archaeologist Conor Trainor posits that ceramic beehives found at the site of Knossos may be evidence that merchants on the island of Crete sold counterfeit products to their Roman clientele, The Conversation reports. Crete specialized in the production of a particular raisin wine sometimes known as passum. Drying out grapes before fermentation and making wine from raisins produces a sweeter vintage that was popular across the ancient Mediterranean world, especially with the Romans. However, this process requires time and patience, two things that Roman consumers may not have had. Trainor believes that there...

America First Legal obtained the documents via a Freedom of Information Act request and provided them first to The Daily Signal. “All Americans should be shocked, appalled, and terrified that the Biden Justice Department was taking advice from a hate-filled, morally bankrupt organization like the Southern Poverty Law Center,” Ian Prior, senior counselor at America First Legal, told The Daily Signal in...

    Tucker Carlson warned Monday that U.S. involvement in the escalating Israel-Iran conflict could bring down President Donald Trump and mark the collapse of America’s global influence. In an appearance on Steve Bannon’s WarRoom, Carlson argued a full-scale war in the Middle East could derail Trump’s second term and devastate the country’s standing globally. “I actually really love Trump. I think he’s a deeply humane, kind person,” Carlson said. “But I’m really afraid that my country’s gonna be further weakened by this. I think we’re gonna see the end of the American empire. He added, “But it’s also going to end,...
