The devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic may have left a significant mark on our brains, even if we didn't get sick. Fatal cases of COVID-19 look scarily like old age in the brain, and now, new research suggests that the mental, social, and financial stresses of the pandemic may have aged our brains as well. A team led by researchers at the University of Nottingham trained an AI model to recognize healthy aging in the brain, using the data of more than 15,000 adults in the UK Biobank. The algorithm was then used to analyze the brain ages of two...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Attorney General Pam Bondi explained today that she was really going to release all of the Epstein files, but some pedophiles asked her to please not. Bondi stated that she understood the disappointment over her not releasing the client list, which has been "on her desk" since February, but she promised the pedophiles that she wouldn't. "Sorry guys, I told the pedophiles I would keep it under wraps," said Bondi to reporters. "Look, I'm just as bummed as you are. I had all these great little binders made up, with all the incriminating evidence I promised to...

For the liberals “standing with Ukraine”, do you have any idea what you’re actually standing for? Let General Flynn explain it for you: “It’s a hub for human trafficking. It’s a hub specifically for child trafficking. It’s a hub for narcotics trafficking. It’s a hub for weapons trafficking. We know about our bio labs…

President Donald Trump said there is a 'big, big surprise' in store for Democrats in next year's midterm election as he warned blue states will 'totally disappear off the map.' Trump disregarded the age-old political theory that the incumbent president's political party loses seats in Congress in the midterm elections.

More than one million federal staffers, fewer than half the government’s workforce, have responded to Elon Musk’s demand to come up with five things they accomplished on the job last week, the White House said Tuesday. The edict was emailed to federal workers Saturday, with Musk announcing a deadline of 11:59 p.m. Monday to answer while warning on X that “failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” Musk then walked back his threat Monday evening and offered the staffers a second chance to submit their responses I can announce that we’ve had more than one million workers who...

Elon Musk took to social media to allege that the identities of deceased people, or "non-existent" people, were being used by unauthorized persons to collect federal paychecks. Musk sent out an email to federal employees across departments on Saturday in which he asked them to justify their jobs, requesting that they "reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished this week and cc your manager." The reason this matters is that a significant number of people who are supposed to be working for the government are doing so little work that they are not checking their...

s an added safety measure to prevent further runway catastrophes, Delta Airlines has added a little hanging tennis ball to the end of runways to help female pilots. After multiple recent incidents of female pilots struggling to figure out exactly when a runway begins and ends, Delta decided to begin positioning cranes to hang tennis balls from a string at the end of each runway. "A tennis ball on a string is the most trusted technique in the world to keep women from wrecking," explained Delta CEO Ed Bastian. "Millions of women have been stopped from smashing their cars into...

this is a fight most Americans didn’t want—and it’s over a wall most Americans don’t want, either. Americans are largely pro-immigration; three-quarters of us believe that immigration is a good thing. And two out of three Americans think that immigration should either stay at its current level, or increase. More importantly, one survey found that more than half of Americans don’t want a new wall, or any broad security barrier at the border. In another survey, 40% of Americans polled chose the president backing down and accepting the $1.6 billion Democrats have already offered for border security as the most...

US Congressman, Scott Perry says USAID funded Boko Haram, which carried out terror attacks in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad.

World Health Organization (WHO) leaders are sounding the alarm Thursday, warning that President Trump's temporary freeze on federal funding for the organization may delay the release of a new pandemic. "And that would be terrible," the organization said in a statement. "We've got a cool name for it and everything. Delaying the pandemic now would cost hundreds, maybe thousands of good-paying Chinese jobs." According to WHO officials, the next pandemic is expected to be a "real doozy" and lead to creative new policies like standing exactly 28.5 feet away from other people, wearing masks over your ears, and burning down...

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said his administration was examining U.S. Treasury debt payments for possible fraud and suggested that the country's $36 trillion debt load might not be that high. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said administration officials who have been combing through payment records in an effort to identify wasteful spending have turned their attention to the debt payments that play a central role in the global financial system.

CONSPIRACY THEORY NO MORE, Two reasons why fraudulent SSN’s were provided to illegals by Democrats. 10,000 illegals using the same exact Social Security number voted in Arizona 2020 presidential elections. B: The reason the radical Democrats don’t want an audit of social security fraud is because they’re scamming off a 1.7 trillion dollar slut fund. It’s BEYOND MASSIVE.

Elon Musk warned more media outlets will see a drop in revenue after Trump closed down USAID, the Democrats’ money laundering slush fund scheme. On Tuesday it was reported that staff at far-left magazine Politico did not get paid for the latest pay period. Politico sent emails to employees claiming it believes there was a “technical error.” “Due to what we believe to be a technical error, employees did not receive their paychecks as scheduled,” the email read.

Here is the extracted text from the article: --- Talked to a friend who has connections within the Democratic Party and he said the level of panic over Trump and Elon shutting down USAID is unlike anything he’s ever seen. By following the money DOGE has struck a killing blow to the heart of the Democrat deep state machine. Direct quote: “This is worse than 9/11 for Democrats. USAID is the primary vessel they use to achieve their political agenda. USAID is and always has been the primary source of funding for their influence peddling schemes and for their indirect...

The wife ofArmy Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman is devastated her husband didn’t receive a pardon from Joe Biden. Vindman was a key witness in first Trump’s impeachment trial back in 2019. However, he was repeatedly caught lying during his testimony before Congress, which made a hero among Democrats. Whatever happens to my family, know this: No pardons were offered or discussed,” she wrote on the leftist social media platform BlueSky. ”I cannot begin to describe the level of betrayal and hurt I feel.”

My work must have thought the inauguration is important. I don't even have to go to work today! What are you most excited for?

Yesterday, The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported on a new exposé from James O’Keefe’s OMG that showed Jamie Mannina, a former FBI agent, Hillary Clinton campaign staffer and a just-fired Senior Advisor to the Joint Staff of the Department of Defense spilling the beans on high-level efforts to subvert President Trump’s next term in the Oval Office. Mannina mentioned he worked for a “top consulting firm”, which the video states is Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH), one of the largest contractors for the United States government. In 2022, BAH was the 6th largest government contractor with $5.9 billion in government contracts....

Gen Zers are increasingly becoming pet parents now that raising human babies feels like more of a pipe dream—and it’s propelling a job into the spotlight. Veterinarians have struck gold, ranked at No. 1 on this year’s Best Jobs of 2025 report from Indeed. The study looks into which roles offer the highest salaries, sustained growth, and flexibility—and thanks to generous Gen Z pet parents who only want the best for their fur babies, veterinarians have made (and topped) the list of best gigs for the first time ever since data collection started in 2019. Out of the 25 ranked...
