Ezekiel Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that there are a lot of life-extending treatments available to treat former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer. Emanuel said, “When you have a lesion that’s in the bone, and therefore it’s metastatic and incurable, the prostate cancer will not go away. He will have it, that doesn’t mean he’s going to die from it because there are a lot of treatments. There’s androgen blockade that’s basically preventing the testosterone from circulating. There’s also androgen receptor signaling inhibitors, a second line of treatment that prevents, when the androgen does bind to the cell...

Former President Joe Biden told the far-left BBC waiting to drop out of the 2024 presidential race until just a few months before Election Day made no difference to the outcome. “I don’t think it would’ve mattered,” Biden answered when asked if he’d waited too long to withdraw. “We left at a time when [trails off] we had a good candidate. She was fully funded. And what happened was, I had become—what we had set out to do, no one told me to do, we’d become so successful, our agenda was hard to say ‘I wanna stop now.’” He rambled...

LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer embraced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday and told him he had the nation’s unwavering support a day after the blowout at the White House with President Donald Trump. Zelenskyy arrived to shouts of support from people who had gathered outside of 10 Downing St., where Starmer gave him a hug and ushered him inside. “And as you heard from the cheers on the street outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom,” Starmer told the leader of the war-torn country. “We stand with you, with Ukraine, for as long as...

NEW: During a one-on-one meeting, Speaker Johnson asked President Biden why he paused LNG exports to Europe, says Biden was completely unaware he had done so. The United States hasn't had a president for four years. Johnson says Biden was completely unaware of an executive order he signed. The comments from Johnson came during an interview with @bariweiss Johnson said after fighting for 9 weeks with Biden's staff, he was finally able to get a meeting with the president. When he arrived, Johnson says he was "ambushed" by Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Biden, who apparently didn't know...

Many people have taken issue with RFK's controversial new policy for all government vehicles to have a mandatory “No Fat Chicks” bumper sticker, with President Biden even weighing in to say, “If he wanted the bumper stickers to say “Less Fat Chicks” or even “Barely Any Fat Chicks” I could understand where he's coming from. But to say none at all just tells me that RFK has never really partied.” RFK responded by saying, “President Biden knows damn well that the bumper sticker slogan is a best-case scenario and not to be taken literally. It is public record I've laid...

The Biden-Harris administration is allegedly covering up an internal study conducted in 2023 that would have rendered its moratorium on natural gas projects unnecessary, according to leaders on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. The White House and the Department of Energy paused permitting for liquefied natural gas export projects in January—a policy critics said would cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs—to allow time for a federal study on those projects' environmental, economic, and national security impacts. That study, according to federal officials, wouldn't be completed until early 2025, effectively throwing the brakes...

During an interview aired on Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that people are unhappy with their personal finances because “the cost of living is very high.” But that’s been the case “for a long time. But the inflation that we saw after the pandemic really exacerbated it for so many people.” Host Stephanie Ruhle asked, “By most major measures, the economy is doing very well. Yet, most people in America, many people in America still don’t feel good about their personal finances. What do we do about that, how do we solve for it?”

Metformin is the most common type 2 diabetes drug prescribed to millions of American each year, and a new study from researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published in Diabetes Care suggests the drug can lower the risk of developing long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), in diabetics. Metformin lowers blood sugar and is most commonly prescribed as a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes. The drug also is prescribed off-label for weight loss and other metabolic conditions. The new findings come from the ongoing RECOVER trial and build on results seen in a 2023...

Though Congress has averted the indignity of another shutdown, both Congress and the Biden administration have failed our allies and American national interests. Congress failed because it did not appropriate the funding necessary for Ukraine and Israel. The administration failed as well, but not only because it did not secure the funding that both our allies need (in Ukraine’s case, needs desperately). The administration’s larger failure is that it continues to refrain from telling Congress, the American people and quite possibly Ukraine and our NATO allies what its objectives for Ukraine are.

Swedish mining company LKAB discovered one million metric tons of rare earth oxides, which are used in electric vehicles and wind turbines. CEO Jan Moström said it was good news for Europe, which imports 99% of its rare earth elements from China. State-owned Swedish mining company LKAB said it has found what it believes to be Europe’s largest known deposit of rare earth elements. However, the company said the road to mining would be “long,” with an exploration license still to be submitted and several more years of exploration needed to discover the full extent of the deposit. “If we...

Pollster Frank Luntz said Friday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that former President Donald Trump should “take a very long vacation” after several candidates he endorsed lost their midterm runs. Luntz said, “Donald Trump is still the number one Republican in America today. There’s no doubt about it. But his overall patina has been flawed considerably or darkened considerably. And in the Atlanta — the Atlanta suburbs, he is a negative. And this is something that his candidates did not really understand. And I’m not convinced that he understands either, that for every one voter who thinks he’s God, you’ve got one...

A recent preprint study found that Pfizer’s COVID-19 antiviral Paxlovid may be effective in reducing the risk of developing long COVID in patients recovering from coronavirus infections. The study, funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), looked through the VA’s health care databases and identified individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 between March and June 2022. Overall, 56,340 participants were included in the study, among whom 9,217 were given Paxlovid within five days of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, while the remaining 47,123 did not receive any form of COVID-19 antiviral or antibody treatment in the 30 days after their...

Chronic pain is not a topic that comes up often in casual conversation. But, maybe it should — because millions of Americans live with it every day. In fact, this condition, which causes sufferers to experience protracted and often debilitating pain for weeks, months or even years, affects about 20 percent of American adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That comes to roughly 50 million people. The prevalence of chronic pain has also led to nearly $300 billion in lost productivity annually. Since September happens to be chronic pain awareness month, it’s an especially important...

The Biden administration on Tuesday announced a new research effort into long COVID, the mysterious illness that may be affecting as many as one in three people who’ve had the coronavirus. President Joe Biden issued an order to expand on the $1.1 billion RECOVER initiative and supported the view that the lingering illness in COVID patients appears to be a disability.

When The Washington Post does a front page story on myriad heart problems plaguing people who recovered from COVID infection, it is big news. Cardiology practices across the country are being overwhelmed by post-COVID heart patients. "Long" COVID has been getting increased attention. Huge numbers of people are suffering long after getting through the initial infection.What is important is the lack of attention to what research has found to be an important impact of spike proteins, namely micro blood clots. Toxic spike proteins invade bodies from COVID infection and also the major COVID vaccines. Those spike proteins can cause widespread...

At the end of 2021, the annual reading of the tea leaves and crystal balls began. In media interviews and countless conversations over the past few weeks, I've been asked how the COVID-19 pandemic will transform our lives in 2022. At this point, it's becoming pretty clear that we are all going to be exposed and potentially infected with the severity determined by our response to vaccines, including the 3rd dose in the mRNA series. If we had enough accurate tests, I'd not be surprised to see over 3 million cases per day or more in the United States.

The man accused of killing eight people in the Atlanta massage spa shooting spree pleaded not guilty Tuesday to four counts of murder, for which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Robert Aaron Long, 22, has already pleaded guilty to killing four people at Young’s Asian Massage parlor in Cherokee County on March 16. He appeared Tuesday before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville in Atlanta for the charges related to four deaths in two other spas, according to ABC News. His lawyer, who waived arraignment, entered not guilty pleas to all charges, including murder, aggravated assault and domestic...

Biden admin says 'long COVID-19' could qualify as a disability under federal law Replay Video The Biden administration on Monday released new guidance on how to support those experiencing long-term symptoms of COVID-19 as part of a broader effort to recognize the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Justice rolled out guidance making clear that symptoms of “long COVID-19” could qualify as a disability under the federal civil rights law. The guidance makes clear that long COVID-19 is not automatically a disability and that an “individualized assessment” is necessary...
