In 2020, the Atlanta-based U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that one in 36 children (approximately four percent of boys and one percent of girls) was estimated to have autism-spectrum disorder, estimates that were significantly higher than those in all previous years. But just five years later, according to the press conference held just weeks ago on September 22, President Trump — in the presence of U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz — announced that the Department of Health and...

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK Sowing a thought reaps an act. Sowing an act reaps a habit. Sowing a habit reaps a character. Sowing a character reaps a destiny. The battle for the soul and the very essence of life goes on in our thought life. We are what we think (Proverbs 23:7). What we think, therefore, needs protection and can be controlled. II Corinthians 10:5 tells us to bring every thought into captivity. Good thoughts will produce good habits. For believers there are four keys in helping to develop good habits: 1. Follow God's Word daily, because it is...

Papua New Guinea’s Parliament has made a historic decision to amend the country’s Constitution, formally declaring its Christian identity while preserving the freedom to practice other religions. The amendment, approved by a strong majority of 80-4, will include references to Christianity in the Constitution’s Preamble. The updated wording recognizes “God, the Father; Jesus Christ, the Son; and Holy Spirit, as our Creator and Sustainer of the entire universe and the source of our powers and authorities.” Christianity will also be acknowledged in the Fifth Goal of the Preamble, with Section 1 affirming the nation’s Christian identity, and the Bible being...

Marc Lynch is angry. The word “rage” appears six times on the first page of America’s Middle East: The Ruination of a Region, and comes in response to Israel’s war in Gaza. This should be sufficient warning to anyone expecting a cool, calm, dispassionate analysis of the Middle East that they might have picked up the wrong book. That is not to say that Lynch, who runs the George Washington University’s Middle East program, is not worth reading. On the contrary, and despite the occasional lapse into the sort of political-science-speak favored by academics, he is a fierce and compelling...

On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) discussed the government shutdown and stated that he thinks that the U.S. Senate “Absolutely” should eliminate the filibuster and let Republicans pass a bill to re-open the government on a party-line vote without Democrats and said, “I could do away with that.” Host Chris Cuomo asked, “[I]t’s a little bit of a twist, though, right, Representative? Because, yeah, you’ve got the presidency is Republican, the House is Republican, Senate has this hair-thin margin. But because of the filibuster rule, they don’t control it, because, then, the Democrats, who are the...

THE GERMANS are an inventive bunch. They came up with the printing press, the car and the X-ray machine, not to mention MP3s and gummy bears. The country remains a big contributor to technological progress, filing more than 16,700 international patent applications in 2024. But, according to a new global ranking of 139 economies published by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), Germany is no longer among the ten most innovative countries in the world. China has displaced it. WIPO uses 78 indicators to assemble its Global Innovation Index. They cover inputs (such as spending on research and development) and...

Global Dissident @GlobalDiss Man breaks into St. Peter's Basilica and urinates on the altar. Total desecration in the heart of the Vatican. The Pope supports mass immigration... looks like he got exactly what he asked

Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was chased out of Lower Manhattan by a serial City Hall gadfly who slammed him as an “antisemite” — and got into a shoving match with the politician’s staffer. The enraged protester, identified by sources as Raul Rivera, 55, of the Bronx, followed Mamdani as the pol was ushered by security into his waiting SUV, video of the encounter shows. Rivera — who was arrested in June for allegedly biting a Mamdani campaign volunteer — shouted and cursed as Mamdani ignored him and climbed into the vehicle, the footage shows. Mamdani had been in Foley...

About 420 B.C., over 2,400 years ago, the philosopher Democritus of Abdera wrote: “To a wise man, the whole earth is open. For the native land of a good soul is the whole earth.” At The Globalist, we believe such a “wise man” or woman to be the audience we are writing for. The globalist’s watchwords: Inclusivity and curiosity Globalists are not an elite circle of business or political leaders attempting to push forward their vested interests. They are rather an inclusive and diverse group, driven by life-long curiosity. A globalist thinks deeply about the world and has a holistic...

[Catholic Caucus] Leo XIV’s Apostolic Exhortation on the Poor Further Impoverishes the Church and WorldLeo XIV’s Apostolic Exhortation, Dilexi Te, says many pleasant things but ultimately does little more than make stones look more appetizing. Our greatest service to the Church, world, and even Leo XIV is to insist on the Truths of the Church. Yes, Catholics must always strive to practice corporal works of mercy, but the spiritual works of mercy are immensely more necessary today and the greatest obstacle to them happens to be the fact that Leo XIV and his Vatican are apparently fixated on continuing the...

English nationalism is now the "biggest threat" to the union, Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) leader Mike Nesbitt has said. He made the remarks at his party's annual conference - his second in charge since reclaiming the leadership last year. Nesbitt is also Stormont's health minister in Northern Ireland's devolved government. Speaking to the party faithful in Belfast, he said he wanted to "deliver hope through prosperity". He dismissed the idea of a border poll taking place anytime soon on a united Ireland. "While unionists have always looked over their shoulders at Irish nationalists as the biggest threat to Northern Ireland's...

A new study reveals a unique look at how junk food rewires the brain's memory hub—leading to risk of cognitive dysfunction. This new research opens the door to early interventions that can prevent even long-term memory loss associated with obesity. Led by Juan Song, Ph.D., researchers found that a special group of brain cells in the hippocampus, called CCK interneurons, become overly active after eating a high-fat diet (HFD), due to an impaired ability of the brain to receive glucose (sugar). This overactivity disrupts how the hippocampus processes memory, even after just a few days of high fat diet. This...

An Israeli survivor of the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack on the Nova musical festival who saw his girlfriend murdered in front of him has been found dead. Roei Shalev's body was recovered on Friday evening near Tel Aviv. Hours earlier the 30-year-old wrote on social media that "I just want this suffering to end. I'm alive, but inside everything is dead". He also asked for forgiveness. Shalev's mother took her own life two weeks after the Hamas attack. Shalev died three days after the two-year anniversary of the Hamas attack. During the attack he tried to shield his girlfriend...

A research team has discovered that atorvastatin, a widely used cholesterol-lowering drug, could become a powerful new weapon in the fight against liver cancer. Liver cancer is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide and is often diagnosed at an advanced stage when surgery is no longer an option. Current treatments such as targeted drugs and immunotherapy have limited success. For patients with advanced liver cancer, especially those with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly known as NAFLD), which is caused by a high-fat diet, treatment options are limited and outcomes are poor. The research team uncovered a novel therapeutic...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — We’re into day two of National Guardsmen in the city of Memphis, and already, they have boots on the ground in communities across the city. They join the hundreds of federal agents and Tennessee State Troopers who have already made their presence known in the city. “I feel like all the criminals are hiding right now, and when all of this goes away, all of those rats are coming out,” said Rosa Avina, Memphis resident. “I feel like the Hispanic community really doesn’t have a voice right now. Why? Because everybody is really scared,” said Avina. “A...

President Donald Trump on Saturday announced that he will direct Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to “use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th” as the government shutdown nears its third week. After the Senate failed to approve spending legislation this week, military members were preparing to go without their paychecks on Wednesday for the first time in U.S. history. We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS,” the president wrote in the social media post Saturday. “I will not allow the Democrats to hold our Military,...

A federal appeals court has ruled that US President Donald Trump's administration cannot deploy the National Guard in Illinois. The Chicago-based US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit also ruled that the force could remain under federal control for now. The decision partially upheld a lower court ruling that blocked the deployment of troops in the Chicago area, which said it was "likely to lead to civil unrest" and "only add fuel to the fire". Trump has previously sent the National Guard to other Democratic-led cities, such as Los Angeles, Washington DC and Portland, Oregon. He has argued troops...
