Gavin Newsom usually detests the Second Amendment, but for the purpose of defaming an ICE officer after another shooting in Minneapolis, he suddenly supports it wholeheartedly. Isn't that convenient?

The daughter of one of Iran’s most powerful officials was quietly ousted from her position at Emory University following a wave of public outrage over her employment, The California Post confirmed. Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, an assistant professor at Emory’s prestigious Winship Cancer Institute, is no longer employed by the prestigious Atlanta-based school, a university spokesperson said Sunday. Ardeshir-Larijani’s father, Ali Larijani, is a top dog in the Islamic Republic’s brutal regime, serving as secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. “A physician who is the daughter of a senior Iranian government official is no longer an employee of Emory,” said Andrea...

President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Democrat governors and mayors nationwide to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, warning on Truth Social that refusal to do so has created "dangerous circumstances" and led to the deaths of two American citizens. Trump outlined four specific actions he said Democrat officials must take to assist his administration's immigration enforcement efforts: * Turn over all criminal illegal migrants currently held in state prisons and local jails — as well as those with active warrants or known criminal histories — to federal authorities for immediate deportation.

Every Jewish child, even if he knows nothing else, knows one question: מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה, הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה מִכָּל הַלֵּילוֹת. That question comes from the Passover service, when a child asks those at the table, “Why is this night different from all other nights?” The answer, of course, is that Passover is the night on which we commemorate how God liberated the Jews from Egyptian slavery, a moment that led to the seminal Ten Commandments and the Jews’ return to their land. It is, in other words, an important question: Why is this one thing different from all other things? (For the...

The Patriots will get to enjoy Denver a little bit longer thanks to the winter storm impacting much of the United States. New England punched its ticket to Super Bowl 2026 with its 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship game. The Pats will have to celebrate their big win with a night out on the town in Denver, which head coach Mike Vrabel was fully on board with, but he also had a stern message for his team.

"We are in the position to form a new government," said a senior official from the Union Solidarity and Development Party, after the vote's third and final phase took place on Sunday.Myanmar's dominant pro-military party has won junta-run elections, a party source told AFP on Monday (Jan 26), after a month-long vote that democracy watchdogs dismissed as a rebranding of army rule. While the military has said the election will return power to the people, popular democratic figurehead Aung San Suu Kyi remains detained since the coup and her party has been dissolved, while critics say the ballot was stacked...

China’s top general has been accused of leaking nuclear secrets to the US and accepting bribes as President Xi Jinping purges the country’s senior military leadership. General Zhang Youxia, 75, once considered one of Xi’s most-trusted military allies, allegedly leaked core technical data on China’s nuclear weapons to the US, the Wall Street Journal reported. Zhang, the first-ranked vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, was officially placed under investigation on Saturday. He was detained by military corruption investigators earlier this week, according to reports from Chinese outlets.

"I pray that . . . you may know . . . what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints" (Eph. 1:18). How you perceive your spiritual resources dictates how you live. Throughout Ephesians 1 Paul is clearly struck with the magnificence of our inheritance in Christ. Here he prays that we will know the riches of its glory. Some commentators see "His inheritance" as a reference to believers, who are God's inheritance or special possession (v. 14). That view stresses the value God places on us as believers, as demonstrated in Christ's death, the...

A year ago, few Americans knew Gregory Bovino’s name. Now he’s the face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. And everything from the Border Patrol commander-at-large’s tactics in the field to his wardrobe choices have become lightning rods in a storm with no end in sight. On the streets of multiple American cities, Bovino – sporting a buzzcut and the Border Patrol’s olive green uniform – has been spotted leading patrols, hurling tear gas canisters and verbally sparring with critics. He often stands out among groups of federal officers as one of the few people not wearing a mask. On...

Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, less than three weeks after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good and amid an ongoing surge in immigration enforcement action across the city. U.S. District Court Judge Eric Tostrud granted a temporary restraining order against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Saturday, barring the department from altering or destroying evidence connected to Pretti's killing. Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse who worked at the Minneapolis VA hospital, was identified as the man killed by a Border Patrol agent. The Department of Homeland Security said the agent...

A new randomized clinical trial has revealed that just 24 minutes of listening to specially designed music paired with auditory beat stimulation (ABS) can significantly reduce anxiety. The research offers a promising complementary approach for people seeking accessible, non-drug-based support for emotional regulation. Anxiety affects millions of people globally, and while medications and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are common treatments, they can come with barriers such as side effects, waitlists, cost and time commitment. Music-based digital therapeutics are emerging as a low-cost, highly accessible tool that can provide immediate relief from anxiety symptoms. In this study, 144 adults with moderate trait...

A short-term oat-based diet appears to be surprisingly effective at reducing the cholesterol level. This is indicated by a trial. The participants suffered from a metabolic syndrome—a combination of high body weight, high blood pressure, and elevated blood glucose and blood lipid levels. They consumed a calorie-reduced diet, consisting almost exclusively of oatmeal, for two days. Their cholesterol levels then improved significantly compared to a control group. Even after six weeks, this effect remained stable. The diet apparently influenced the composition of microorganisms in the gut. Although the test subjects in the current trial were not diabetic, they suffered from...

Arlington Man -- In 1959, while looking for pygmy mammoth bones on Santa Rosa Island, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History archeologist Phil Orr discovered a human femur sticking out of the canyon wall at Arlington Springs. He knew it was old, but scientific dating technology couldn’t tell him how old. Yet. So he put the bones away in the basement of the SBMNH where they were rediscovered by Don Morris and John Johnson in the 1990s. These two archeologists take us back to Arlington Springs while explaining how modern carbon dating confirmed the bones were over 13,000 years old......

Physical rehabilitation and symptom management still remain the mainstay of treatment for stroke, as clot removal or dissolution is effective only within a narrow time frame after the stroke. After that, many patients are left with long-term problems like difficulty walking, speaking, and memory decline. Exercise has been beneficial in preventing strokes and improving recovery. However, the majority of these patients, being elderly, are too frail to exercise enough to gain these benefits. In a study, a team of researchers explored how exercise protects the brain against stroke at a biological level through mitochondrial migration. "It was during my research...

Patients with early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma had impressive response rates when treated with a novel combination of therapies—brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab combined with chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin and dacarbazine—according to a study. "By pairing modern targeted therapies with a shorter course of chemotherapy, we're seeing strong outcomes that improve historical standards and reduce treatment intensity," said senior author Hun Ju Lee, M.D., associate professor of lymphoma. A total of 154 patients were treated with the novel combination on this trial. Some 96% of patients had some level of response to treatment, and 92% had a complete response with no signs of cancer...

Scientists have identified why certain lung cancer cells become highly resistant to treatment after developing mutations in a key gene called EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor). In a study, the researchers reveal a previously unknown survival mechanism and demonstrated that disrupting it can shrink tumors in laboratory models. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally. Many cases are driven by mutations in the EGFR gene. These mutations are found in up to 40–60% of adenocarcinoma. The researchers screened more than 21,000 genes to identify what protects these mutant proteins from being broken down. They discovered that cancer...
