In 2019, President Donald Trump issued a sweeping Executive Order, 13877 that placed the needs of patients first. It called for hospitals to provide price transparency for patients. This was the type of healthcare cost reform that was needed for decades, as prices were often hidden from patients. Unfortunately, with the advent of the administration of President Joe Biden, progress was halted on this issue. The Biden administration refused to pressure hospitals and health care plans to provide price transparency for patients. As noted by Ilaria Santangelo, Research Director of PatientRightsAdvocate.org, under the Biden administration compliance with the regulations was...

The department chair of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Alabama in Huntsville expressed strong resentment in recent social media posts for fallen Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, attempting to belittle Kirk's well-established Christian faith. Leslie Maxwell Kaiura is a self-proclaimed "progressive Christian feminist and LGBTQ ally." "It is spiritually exhausting and demoralizing to see Christians praising a man who used racist, sexist, homo/transphobic language and minimized the problem of gun violence," she wrote. "Jesus never treated the marginalized people or the 'sinners' of his day with mockery or rejection." Kaiura shared a post, again attacking Kirk's...

The corporate media’s coordinated plot to turn the murdered Charlie Kirk into a villain and his alleged assassin into a folk hero has officially begun. Things are such that the media have been forced to once again paint themselves into this vile corner, one that will only deepen their credibility crisis. And the only reason they are in this corner is because they are genetically incapable of seeing anyone who disagrees with them as human and therefore a victim, even though Charlie Kirk was the most innocent of victims, a true martyr. So, no matter how awful the crime against...

Explanation: Can you spot famous celestial objects in this image? 18th-century astronomer Charles Messier cataloged only two of them: the bright Lagoon Nebula (M8) at the bottom, and the colorful Trifid Nebula (M20) at the upper right. The one on the left that resembles a cat's paw is NGC 6559, and it is much fainter than the other two. Even harder to spot are the thin blue filaments on the left, from supernova remnant (SNR G007.5-01.7). Their glow comes from small amounts of glowing oxygen atoms that are so faint that it took over 17 hours of exposure with just...

Oh, boy. My Dell Win 10 Pro desktop suffered a MS Update last night, and won't reboot. None of the Dell repair / restore options have worked so far: I'm holding off on a complete "recovery" which would involve repartitioning the boot SSD & losing all the data on it, then reinstalling the OS, etc. Luckily, all my documents, images, etc., are saved to another HD, but, I would lose the programs on the boot drive and have to reinstall them, which means losing lots of settings and so on. So far as I can tell, I may be able...
