That morning cup of Joe may do more than perk you up for the day; it could protect against infection from different COVID variants. Your coffee habit may be doing double duty: jumpstarting your mornings and providing COVID-19 protection, according to a recent study. New research reveals that coffee, enjoyed worldwide for its signature fragrance and flavor, may fend off illness by preventing binding of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in cells. Coffee—Regardless of Brew—Lowers Risk Previous research shows that a diet rich in polyphenols, compounds in plants with antioxidant properties, may boost immune function and reduce the risk...

Ahead of the first Republican presidential debate, former President Donald Trump's campaign team is trolling Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida even as the ex-president is set to skip the high-stakes event. While hosting a group of political reporters at a steakhouse in Milwaukee, which will host the first debate, the Trump campaign handed out pudding snack packs, a reference to an article written by The Daily Beast's Jake Lahut and Zachary Petrizzo where DeSantis was said by two sources to have eaten a chocolate pudding dessert with three of his fingers. Debate bingo cards were also distributed at the steakhouse...

You don't have to suffer through a bad cup of morning coffee.× Most people would probably assume I make great coffee at home. I work at Food & Wine, I care about things like garnishing my scrambled eggs in a cute way, and I deeply appreciate a good cocktail (or mocktail). Still, when it comes to my at-home coffee situation, the standards are floor-level. My roommate and I have been brewing our daily coffee in an ancient Mr. Coffee machine for the past four years — the coffee pot actually came with the first apartment we got together, so its...

Elaine Chao, former President Trump’s Transportation secretary, is declining to respond to Trump’s latest use of a racist nickname to attack her and urging the media to not repeat it.

Former President Trump joined his own TRUTH Social on Thursday, posting on a social media platform for the first time in more than a year with a throwback to his now-infamous 2017 typo "covfefe." "I’M BACK! #COVFEFE," Trump posted on TRUTH Social Thursday afternoon with a photo of himself in front of his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida. The hashtag "covfefe" was referring to one of his deleted tweets in 2017 in which he decried the media’s coverage of his administration.

It’s starting out as one of those days.I can already tell I’m going to need more than my normal daily allotment of covfefe. Today the order will be reversed…and most likely truncated at coffee.My superpower is turning caffeine into posts, what’s yours? Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Research Highlights: Analysis of three large, well-known heart disease studies found drinking one or more cups of caffeinated coffee was associated with decreased heart failure risk. Drinking decaffeinated coffee did not have the same benefit and may be associated with an increased risk for heart failure. There is not yet enough clear evidence to recommend increasing coffee consumption to decrease risk of heart disease with the same strength and certainty as stopping smoking, losing weight or exercising. ================================================================================== Dietary information from three large, well-known heart disease studies suggests drinking one or more cups of caffeinated coffee may reduce heart failure...

“I am a simple man who would just like to eat laminated pastry and sip a cappuccino outside in the sun.”You must admit, last week was fairly crappy and to cap it off my coffee maker bit the dust yesterday somewhere around my 3rd cup. Now this was not a coffee maker that you can just run over to Kohl's or BB&B and replace, or even order on Amazon for 2nd day delivery – unless you wish to pay full price, which you do not as it is prohibitive. No, in order to replace my Saeco ground-to-order-cup-at-a-time brewer that makes...

Do we finally have the answer to POTUS’ question, “Who knows the true meaning of covfefe?” Tweeted on May 31, 2017. Below is a link to an interview with Macaulay Calkin, who talks about an island he visited in Thailand that turns out to be a pedo island. The name of the island is Ko Phi Phi. Could President Trump have been trolling the deep state pedophiles? Had one of them visited there around the time of his tweet? Start listening at 8:15. https://youtu.be/yWMRnw0MNMg
