    Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., defended a recent social media post calling ICE a "terrorist force" Wednesday. During an interview with Brianna Keilar on "CNN News Central," the host spoke to Jayapal about her Tuesday Instagram post where she wrote that "ICE is acting like a terrorist force. People across the country of all legal statuses — including U.S. citizens — are being kidnapped and disappeared off the street by masked men. No oversight, no accountability. Completely lawless." Keilar asked Jayapal to respond to a statement from White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, which was obtained by Fox News Digital. In the...

    A woman living in a 1,200-square-foot underground bunker says it’s “worth it” to save $1.5k a month on sky-high rent. Caitlin Johnson, 44, snapped up the chance to live in a friend’s underground bunker in their yard in Bakersfield, California, after moving from New York in April 2024. She pays just $500-a-month in rent for the bunker – which has a master bedroom with en-suite, a full kitchen, living room, 18 bunk beds, a separate bathroom, two more toilets and another shower. Caitlin’s friend, moved into the property in 2022 and discovered it had an underground bunker originally built by...

    At least three people were killed and 16 others wounded in a mass shooting outside a nightclub in downtown Chicago late Wednesday night, authorities said. Police confirmed multiple people were shot in the 300 block of West Chicago Avenue. A city official said 19 people were shot, three of them fatally in a drive-by shooting. The shooting apparently happened as people were leaving the Artis Lounge nightclub following an album release party for rapper Mello Buckzz. The same block was also the scene of a mass shooting in November 2022, when the same nightclub was known as Hush Lounge. One...

    INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An Indianapolis church is calling for members of the LGBTQ+ community to be put to death or to kill themselves. Local faith leaders are condemning the message. The call was made during a recent sermon titled “Pray the Gay Away” inside Sure Foundation Baptist Church on the northwest side of the city. “There’s nothing good to be proud about being a f*****. You ought to blow yourself in the head, in the back of the head. You’re so disgusting,” Stephen Falco said from the pulpit. He was speaking during the church’s “Men’s Preaching Night.” The event was...
  • Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Bans Rainbow Crosswalks

    Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy struck a blow at radical LGBTQ activism as “Pride Month” ended. Duffy sent a letter to all 50 state governors, the D.C. mayor, and Puerto Rico’s governor, a letter which he also shared with The Daily Signal. Trump’s transportation secretary told the governors to work on removing distractions, including woke political symbols, from roads and intersections. In the letter, Duffy wrote, “Roads are for safety, not political messages or artwork. Today I am calling on governors in every state to ensure that roadways, intersections, and crosswalks are kept free of distractions.” He added, “Far too many...
  • Simple insulin resistance test may also predict cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients

    07/02/2025 8:52:14 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 15 replies
    Insulin resistance detected by routine triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index can flag people with early Alzheimer's who are four times more likely to present rapid cognitive decline, according to research. Neurologists reviewed records of 315 non-diabetic patients with cognitive deficits, including 200 with biologically confirmed Alzheimer's disease. All subjects underwent an assessment of insulin resistance using the TyG index and a clinical follow-up of three years. When patients were divided according to the TyG index, those in the highest third of the Mild Cognitive Impairment AD subgroup deteriorated far more quickly than their lower-TyG peers, losing >2.5 points on the Mini Mental...

    Founded in 1845 and claiming 16,000 students, Baylor University is the world’s largest Baptist University and also one of the oldest. Like many that have gone before, Baylor is deeply compromised despite seeking to be our theological betters. Baylor repeatedly touts their Christian creds, but the game is nearly up. Despite affirming that “The mission of Baylor University is to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring community” and “the biblical understanding that sexual relations of any kind outside of marriage between a man and a woman are...

    A Florida Christian elementary school teacher could spend life behind bars after his arrest for possessing child pornography—also known as child sexual abuse materials (CSAM)—including images police believe may be AI-altered photos of his own students. On June 20, police arrested David R. McKeown, 47, a sixth-grade teacher at the United Brethren In Christ (UBIC) Academy in Holly Hill, which is run by a UBIC church near Daytona Beach. A statement from the office of Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said McKeown was charged with “19 enhanced felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and six counts...
  • Common medicine for autoimmune diseases works on giant cell arteritis (Rinvoq)

    07/02/2025 8:29:46 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 6 replies
    A common medication already used for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis is effective for patients with giant cell arteritis, according to findings. Giant cell arteritis often leads to headaches, vision loss, and even aortic aneurysms. But nearly half of patients taking upadacitinib in a new Phase 3 clinical trial achieved sustained remission—while reducing their dependence on glucocorticoids (typically called "steroids"), the most common treatment. The main current treatment for giant cell arteritis includes the daily use of glucocorticoids, especially prednisone. Unfortunately, glucocorticoids can impact patients with serious side effects. However, because researchers have already determined that a cellular communication...

    The founder of an LGBT “pride” group in the United Kingdom has been sentenced to 24 years in prison for what the BBC described as a “string of sexual offences against children.” Stephen Ireland, 41, was sentenced to 24 years in prison by a judge last week for raping a child he met on a gay dating app. Ireland met a 12-year-old boy online and became aware he was not of age, but told the child they could enter into a relationship as long as it was kept “secret,” the BBC reported. The man took the young boy to an...
  • Gamma-linolenic acid found to help relax constricted coronary arteries

    07/02/2025 8:15:43 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 8 replies
    A new study by Toho University has revealed that gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid commonly found in plant oils such as evening primrose and borage, can directly relax constricted coronary arteries by blocking a key receptor involved in blood vessel contraction. This discovery offers promising implications for the prevention of coronary spasms and angina. Coronary artery spasms—sudden narrowing of the arteries supplying the heart—can lead to chest pain (angina) and increase the risk of heart attacks. The underlying cause often involves the activation of prostanoid TP receptors, which trigger vessel contraction in response to chemical signals like thromboxane A2...

    The sky is falling! A flap from a Delta Airlines plane plummeted from the sky and onto a driveway in North Carolina early Wednesday morning. The fragment found in a residential Raleigh neighborhood splintered off a Boeing 737 flight from Atlanta to Raleigh-Durham International Airport that had been delayed Tuesday evening due to a thunderstorm in Georgia, according to a spokesperson for Delta. The flap, which was “evidently separated” from the left wing, didn’t impede the aircraft’s “safe landing” in Raleigh-Durham, the spokesperson wrote. It landed smack dab in the middle of one unlucky Tar Heel’s driveway, just a few...

    The owner of a private crematorium in Ciudad Juárez where 383 bodies were left in piles to decompose has been arrested along with his sole employee.

A judge ruled that the two men must remain in preventive prison ahead of a court hearing on Friday. They face charges related to the improper handling of cadavers. If convicted on all counts, they...

    He really fell for this Friends’ request. A gullible British man was scammed by an online catfisher — believing it was a hard-up Jennifer Aniston madly in love with him. Paul Davis, 43, told The Sun he paid out non-refundable Apple gift cards after being sent messages he believed were from the “Friends” star blowing him kisses and holding up a sign reading, “I love you.” “I’ve had fake videos from Jennifer Aniston saying she loves me and asking for [about $270],” he told the UK paper of the scam using AI images. “I believed it – and I paid.”...
