Most people heading into their retirement years already know the usual advice: eat fruits and vegetables, choose lean proteins, and go easy on sugar and salt. But there’s another layer to nutrition that’s often overlooked — lesser-known foods packed with compounds that support healthy aging in surprisingly powerful ways. These aren’t exotic items you have to special-order from across the globe. Many are now available in standard grocery stores or online, and they can bring variety, flavor, and longevity-boosting benefits to your daily routine.

“‘Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen; My Beloved in whom My soul is well-pleased’” (Matthew 12:18). Jesus Christ is God’s ultimate Servant, the one and only Son chosen by the Father to die for fallen sinners. The divine commendation here is a modified quotation of Isaiah 42:1–4, one of the most beautiful descriptions of our Lord anywhere in the Bible. The Father’s choice of Jesus to be His Servant was decisive and irrevocable—Christ was the one and only person perfectly qualified for the work of redemption. As the perfect choice of God, Jesus is also completely pleasing in His...

Democrats and academia—I know: what’s the difference?—excel at several things. Among them are election fraud, whataboutism, hating America and Americans, embracing America’s enemies and warping language. It is the latter that allows them to define the terms of any debate, and often, to win it. That’s perhaps their most common social science tactic, where they have long invented terms like “gun violence,” and even argued that “silence is violence.” If you don’t agree with their lunatic positions, even if you say nothing about them, you’re somehow engaging in violence. Nothing but full-throated praise for their moral and intellectual superiority will...

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., former chair of the Democratic National Committee, suggested Friday that President Donald Trump is to blame for the death of a member of the National Guard. Multiple left-wing commentators argued that the ambush-style shooting of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe Wednesday only happened because of Trump’s orders to station the National Guard in US cities. On Friday, as the nation was still reeling from the shooting, CNN host Sara Sidner spoke to Schultz about the tragic incident. The shooting, Schultz said, “begs the question, would an individual have flown across the...

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico has issued guidance to Americans headed to Mexico over the winter months, encouraging them to be mindful of the country's current Level 2 travel advisory and urging them to "exercise increased caution" due to "terrorism, crime, and kidnapping." The embassy shared advice for planning safe travel earlier this month, including "following the entry and exit requirements, reviewing local laws, and other travel guidance from the U.S. embassy or consulate." The Level 2 advisory -- outlined on the official State Department travel website -- applies to 17 Mexican states and notes that violent crimes include "homicide,...

this is a video of a Jewish man who had lived his life going to the synagogue, and he said that as he read several verses, he came to the conclusion that Jesus indeed is the Messiah. I like this video because it’s short, but it’s also very powerful. In fact, if you were ever talking to a Jewish person, you might want to bring these Old Testament verses up to them. It’s exceptionally powerful when he talks about the temple being destroyed and the Messiah being cut off before that because that happened in AD70

During a segment on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” in August, activist Christopher Rufo astonished the studio audience when he said the Watergate scandal that toppled President Richard Nixon “was a setup from start to finish.” Maher muttered, “Oh, geez,” to which Rufo replied with a grin and a prediction: “Nixon vindication by 2035.” The Watergate scandal has long been viewed as a defining moment in presidential corruption and accountability, prompting a series of government transparency reforms and influencing generations of journalists. It became a shorthand comparison for political scandal and lent the omnipresent “-gate” suffix to many that...

The Democrats once knew there were limits on what they could and would do to win. The new crop of Democrats has no limits at all. The Dems have always been adept at playing dirty. There is scarcely a single epoch of American politics since 1828 that doesn’t feature a titanically corrupt Democrat capable of vast crimes committed in order to remain in power and make a profit doing so. But old-time Dems knew there were limits. You didn’t try to steal a presidential election. You didn’t undermine the foundations of the system itself. You didn’t try to annihilate the...

Why does America support Israel? The answer isn’t rooted in theology or special-interest politics but is grounded in strategic national interest. Victor Davis Hanson explains how Israel’s status as the Middle East’s only stable democracy, its alignment with U.S. security priorities, and its role in countering Iran’s decades-long campaign of terror against Americans make it an essential ally on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words." “ There's only one government that is truly a free democratic government, and that's Israel. So, it has affinities with the United States and interest with the United States that transcends...

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2) EVERY SAINT HAS A PAST . . . EVERY SINNER HAS A FUTURE

Donald Trump is reportedly eager to engage in business deals with Vladimir Putin as a way to end the war in Ukraine - hoping to bring billions of dollars from the Russian economy into America. A report in The Wall Street Journal details how Trump's team - including his son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff - have been negotiating with Russia on how to 'bring their $2 trillion economy in from the cold'. Witkoff reportedly hosted Kirill Dmitriev - Putin's 'handpicked' negotiator - and Kushner at a waterfront Miami Beach estate to draw up a plan to end...

WASHINGTON — New York Attorney General Letitia James was hit with a bar complaint from a right-leaning group on Friday, days after having her federal mortgage fraud charges tossed by a judge in a temporary procedural win. The Center to Advance Security in America submitted a request with the Manhattan and Bronx-focused Attorney Grievance Committee for the state to investigate James’ potentially “illegal and dishonest conduct” leading to the criminal charges. “Fraud, misrepresentation, honesty and trustworthiness are all factors that the Rules of Professional Conduct expressly factor when weighing whether to discipline an attorney,” wrote Curtis Schube, the group’s director...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is one of many high-profile individuals who have raised questions about alleged secret UAP programs run by the Pentagon. The subject of unidentified anomalous phenomena, or what most people call UFOs, has been of increasing interest following whistleblower testimony from David Grusch, who alleged the Pentagon has been operating a top-secret UFO program. Rubio is one of many high-profile subjects who are appearing in the newly streaming documentary “Age of Disclosure,” which addresses the subject and alleged government UFO cover-ups. ... “Things are flying over sensitive restricted airspace in the U.S., and they claim it’s...

There were no beds in the home of the the Washington, DC, National Guard shooting suspect, who often played video games such as Call of Duty, according to recent reports. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed on Thursday that search warrants have been executed, including for the suspect’s last known residence in the state of Washington. “The search warrant was executed on that house last night or early this morning, and it is an ongoing process,” Patel said. “All the individuals found in the house have been interviewed, and some interviews remain ongoing. We will not stop until we interview anyone...

His name was Geert Adriaans Boomgaard. Born in 1788, he was a grumpy gentleman. And no one, in 1896, could blame him — at 108, Mr. Boomgaard had buried two wives, twelve children and more grandchildren than he could count. He had seen too much death, buried too many loved ones. Born in 1788 in Groningen, Boomgaard was the son of a sea captain. And in 1812, at age 24, he enlisted in Napoleon’s Grande Armée. He wanted to see adventure, wanted to see the world. He stood with his comrades before the emperor. A sea of men, young men,...
