NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – A woman has been arrested in connection with an investigation into arson at the Comal County Republican Headquarters, according to the City of New Braunfels. Grace Carol Brown, 21, was taken into custody on Thursday for burglary of a building and arson, a news release said. She was later booked into the Comal County jail on a $200,000 bond. New Braunfels police officers and fire officials had responded around 1:15 p.m. on Jan. 14 to the Comal County Republican Headquarters, located in the 200 block of Landa Street. The release said that employees found that...

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new plan to cozy up to Beijing betrays his calls to preserve the “international order” he says is under threat from Donald Trump, and Canada’s economic dependence on the United States may cause his plan to backfire. In a speech to the global elite at Switzerland’s Davos resort town this week, Carney warned attendees that the “rules-based order” established by the United States and its allies in the wake of the Second World War is fraying amid the reemergence of great power conflict–principally the rivalry between China and America. “Every day we’re reminded that we...

Waffle House locations across the South locked their doors in a rare move as a monster winter storm threatens much of the country this weekend — a stark warning of the havoc to come. The 24-hour Southern breakfast chain, famous for rarely closing in bad weather, shut down its griddles as locations in South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi went into a “Code Red” Saturday as Winter Storm Fern barrels across the Midwest and East Coast, multiple outlets reported. In South Carolina — where the incoming system has prompted its first ice storm warning since 2005 — Waffle House employees...

The AD/CE system we use to date the year was introduced - more or less by accident - during the Middle Ages. Before its invention, the classical world used a wide range of dating systems.

One hard-and-fast rule that leftists obey is this: Always accuse political opponents of committing the same transgressions that you are preparing to commit. Accusing innocent people of doing terrible things is dirty politics, but it muddies the waters of public perception just enough to protect the guilty from accountability. When Democrats commit electoral fraud, they accuse Republicans of trying to steal elections. When leftist revolutionaries burn down cities, ambush and murder law enforcement officers, and demand that state and local governments “defund police,” Democrats accuse grandparents and veterans of being “insurrectionists.” When Bill Clinton gets caught hanging out with Jeffrey...

President Trump has the world playing taps for the New World Order, and that’s a good thing. In the process he dealt the UK’s Keir Starmer what appears to be a fatal blow. And in Minneapolis, a combination of communists and NGO-paid rioters are trying to replay the George Floyd Summer of Love and is instead showing why ICE’s work is essential to good order. The media is trying to help the rioters by concocting a “bait boy” fable. DavosNiall Ferguson sums up, ”The reality is that Trump won Davos, hands down. And not only did he win it; he...

These are three outright lies (George Floyd, Renee Good and now Alex Pretti); you are able to definitively triangulate between three to tell what's going on—two events by themselves would have been enough, but there's no arguing with three. The real issue is, not your refusal to "believe your lying eyes", but, first, the mentality of the insurgents, then, the ultimate motivation for their wanting, to the point of being death-fanatics, to overturn reality, to accomplish, in the term by Friedrich Nietzsche, a "transvaluation of values", which is just a fancy "philosophical" term for calling evil: good, and good: evil....

MINNEAPOLIS — Gov. Tim Walz confirmed the Minnesota National Guard will deploy to support local authorities after Hennepin Co. Sheriff Dawanna Witt formally requested the assistance of the National Guard. Later Saturday afternoon, the city of Minneapolis also requested support from the Minnesota National Guard to "help local police and emergency personnel protect community safety" in the area around Saturday's fatal shooting "and at other posts as needed."

Researchers have identified a metabolically sensitive cell subtype in the eye's drainage system which shows early signs of dysfunction in a genetic mouse model of glaucoma. The study provides a potential therapeutic strategy for preventing or slowing the development of glaucoma. Glaucoma, a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve. The main risk factors is high intraocular pressure, which results from dysfunction in the trabecular meshwork—a porous tissue that helps maintain normal eye pressure. Tolman used single-cell RNA sequencing to profile nearly 18,000 cells. They identified six major cell types, with further analysis revealing three subtypes of trabecular...

Vitamin B12 is long understood as a vital nutrient required for red blood cell formation and nerve function, but a new study suggests its role in human biology is far more intricate, with implications for aging, metabolism and disease prevention. The research reports previously unrecognized pathways by which B12 influences cellular metabolism and uncovers biomarkers that may identify early nutritional stress far before classic deficiency symptoms appear. "This is the first study that shows B12 deficiency affects skeletal muscle mitochondrial energy production," said Martha Field, Ph.D. "It's highly relevant because muscles have high energy demands. More importantly, my co-author, Anna...

A gun rights advocate says he has major concerns about the legality of the shooting Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti after watching footage of his killing. Rob Doar, senior vice president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, analyzed one of the several videos taken of the shooting of Pretti on Saturday and shared his damming opinion that the killing was unwarranted on social media. Pretti, who was a US and an intensive care nurse who treated critically ill military veterans, was killed shortly after 9am on January 24, after an altercation involving multiple federal officers. Video footage showed he was wrestled...

BOCA RATON, Fla. (CBS12) — A labor and delivery nurse at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital is no longer employed after a TikTok video surfaced that appears to show her making graphic and violent comments about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who recently announced she is pregnant. The video was posted by a woman identified as Alexis “Lexie” Lawler. In the video, Lawler says it “gives [her] great joy” to wish Leavitt would suffer a fourth-degree tear during childbirth — the most severe type of obstetric tear — using explicit and profane language. Fourth-degree tears extend through muscle...

A team of scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently incurable form of brain cancer—and identified an existing medication that could treat it. The research shows that certain brain cells—once thought to simply support healthy nerve function—actually help glioblastoma grow and spread. The researchers discovered that these cells send signals that strengthen the tumor, but when they blocked this harmful communication in lab models, the cancer slowed its growth significantly. Even more promising, the study suggests that an existing HIV medication could be repurposed to target this process and offer...

Saturday on CNN’s “Newsroom Live,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis was an “execution” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Ocasio-Cortez said, “There’s a second angle that appears to be circulating much closer to the incident where you see the victim, I believe his name is Alex Pretti and immediately preceding that incident in ICE officer had pushed violently a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up. And that is what precipitated this incident. That very quickly led to an execution, a deadly shooting in the...
