As we age, our balance, stability and coordination can decline. One way to counteract this is to build strength with functional workouts. Functional exercises mimic everyday actions and strengthen the muscles we use regularly, which can help us move well for longer. And when we keep our bodies strong and agile, we are less prone to injury and chronic health conditions. But this doesn’t mean spending hours in the gym or doing complicated workouts.

President Donald Trump offered prayers for the journalists in the White House briefing room on Thursday, as he addressed the media about Wednesday’s deadly midair collision between a commercial jet and an Army helicopter. Trump began his remarks by asking for a moment of silence, then spoke for several minutes. At the end of his prepared remarks, he concluded: “God bless everyone in this room,” referring to the members of the press corps. It was a far cry from Trump’s usual jabs at the “fake news,” and a sign of the seriousness with which the president and the new administration...

The Biden-Harris White House has wished Americans a “Happy Kwanzaa” — a holiday invented in 1966 by a racist extremist who served prison time for torturing a woman. Vice President Kamala Harris — who was born just two years before the holiday’s inception — claimed in 2020 that she and her family used to gather around, “across multiple generations,” and discuss Kwanzaa’s “seven principles” — which are identical to the principles of left-wing terrorist organization Symbionese Liberation Army. Harris wrote on X in 2020 that her family’s “Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories,” garnering thousands of critical...

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) predicted Wednesday that former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general, will not get confirmed by the Senate. Asked for his response to Trump’s Cabinet picks so far, McCarthy told Bloomberg Television in an interview, “I think the choices are very good, except one.” “Look, Gaetz won’t get confirmed,” he continued. “Everybody knows that.” McCarthy, a loyal Trump ally while serving in the House, was asked why the former president would bother tapping Gaetz if he knew the Florida Republican couldn’t get confirmed. “You can talk to [the] president, but it’s a...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM to discuss her effort, as expressed by host Matt Boyle, to “expose Speaker Mike Johnson’s power-sharing agreement with the Democrats.” Greene announced Wednesday she will force a vote on a motion to vacate on the floor after House Democrat leadership said that they would protect Johnson’s (R-LA) speakership.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Wednesday that “everyone” should be wearing masks to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus, as states across the country report troubling surges in confirmed cases and hospitalizations. "The area where I think we have to definitely really surge on is nursing homes, ALFs [assisted living facilities], congregate-living facilities that have a high number of people or obviously populations of people that are high-risk, those are the places where you're really going to cut down the death rate if you can prevent outbreaks ... and that's where I hope we focus both our testing and our...

“Everyone is just in shock and very upset,” said one ABC News staffer after Ross got a major piece of news wrong about the FBI investigation.

After Charlottesville and the murder of Heather Heyer, hitherto Nazi-friendly internet companies have found their boots and their banhammers. The angry right has for some time anticipated this eventuality, and colonized or established replicas of key services and platforms. 8chan, Voat and Gab are the most well-known examples, respectively resembling 4chan, Reddit and Twitter. Adi Robertson writes that the internet's plumbing, the world of domain name registrars and load mitigation, will be harder to replicate. Why the alt-right can’t build an alt-internet. Even if such a registrar could ignore bad PR, activists could still lodge complaints with the registries, which...

"The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life," Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday.   "That's going to be very, very powerful," Waters said. "That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it's never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They're going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can't get around it. And he's [President Obama] been very smart....

Legislation already under fire for perceived anti-liberty language. A group of Democrats fueled by the Orlando LGBT nightclub murders committed by Omar Mateen – a Muslim who touted his allegiance to ISIS during a 9-1-1 call placed amid the shootings – are planning to slip a couple gun-control measures into a bill by Rep. Tim Murphy that’s supposed to focus on mental health. The bill, which is slated for House Energy and Commerce Committee consideration on Wednesday, was already under fire for perceived anti-liberty language... But the gun control measures are new, added just after the Orlando shootings that left...

On Friday, city officials in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, informed Donald and Evelyn Knapp, ordained ministers and proprietors of the Hitching Post Wedding Chapel, that they would be required to perform gay weddings or face fines or possibly jail time under the city’s “public accommodations” statute. Their religious views are expected to adjust to the edicts of the state. So it’s official: a new religious orthodoxy is sweeping across the nation, imposed by government and backed by force. It’s a religious orthodoxy required by secular authorities for a secular purpose, but no matter. Heretics will be found out and forced...

President Obama had pledged publicly at least 36 times that his health care plan, known as Obamacare, would not force people who liked their current coverage to lose it before "tweaking" that promise Nov. 4...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Folks, the Syria news today -- it was bad yesterday. It was embarrassing yesterday. Today the whole world is laughing at us, and I am not kidding. Even liberals. Even these wacko Looney Tunes pajama-clad website posters, these progressives, as they call themselves. These people think Obama and Kerry are lying to 'em. They don't want another war. They don't want a single missile launched ever. They think they're being lied to. I mean, Obama doesn't even have his base on this. And according to whip counts and head counts right now, it looks like Obama's request...

In an ordinary town, in a quiet neighborhood, in a beige two-story house, a girl named Megan lives with her parents and eight siblings. She is 25, with a cheeky smile. Tall and tan and athletic, she has long, curly hair that tumbles down her shoulders in thick locks. Her voice is bubbly, with a pinch of country twang, and when she is talking about something she likes, she leans forward in her seat and says “Ohmygosh!” before unleashing a stream of syllables that come pouring out on top of each other. She is polite. If you were to stop...

9 p.m. ET, all across the dial. A Politico contributor kinda sorta predicted this morning that he’d call this presser, although she urged him to pound the table and demand a clean debt-ceiling bill now that the apocalypse is almost upon us. No dice there: The One will endorse Reid’s plan instead, which helps him marginally with his campaign by giving him a talking point about how he’s “tough on spending” or whatever. But do expect plenty of table-pounding as he tries to somehow (a) be the cool, composed “adult in the room” who won’t resort to cheap political ploys...

EVERYONE ANNOUNCES BID FOR PRESIDENT _______________________________________ The latest entry in the crowded field for the GOP nominee in 2012 is everyone. At a news conference held everywhere, everyone stated that he/she could fix the economy, bring peace and stability, inspire hope, and even if they slept through the entire four years, do a better job than the incumbent. "The bar is low," said everyone. "In fact, it's on the ground. You just have to walk over it." Everyone faces formidable hurdles. For one thing, the liberal-dominated media are against them. There are questions about their experience, which ranges from nothing...

WASHINGTON – Knowing there would be disbelievers, the U.S. says it used convincing means to confirm Osama bin Laden's identity during and after the firefight that killed him. But the mystique that surrounded the terrorist chieftain in life is persisting in death. Was it really him? How do we know? Where are the pictures? Already, those questions are spreading in Pakistan and surely beyond. In the absence of photos and with his body given up to the sea, many people don't believe bin Laden — the Great Emir to some, the fabled escape artist of the Tora Bora mountains to...

I thought I would start a list on who Obama and his government has ticked off, I say his because it is so obvious it is no longer a government for the people, by the people! It has become the political elites against the people. So here is the start of my list, please add to it if you wish; Everyone in the oil business in the Gulf, maybe 100,000 total jobs lost. California farmers water cut off because a fish, 40,000 jobs lost. All smokers, Fed increased taxes on cigarettes $1.01 per pack 2009.(Obama smokes cigs) Sports fishing, administration...

There are many reasons to celebrate the Republican takeover of the People's House this morning. One of them will be the ability of Republicans to pull away the curtain and see what the Obama team has really been up to as it bullied Americans over the last two years. Congressman Darrell Issa will be very busy as head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, holding hearings and calling in federal officials to testify about a wide variety of actions: the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case being among them.
