    Speaking at a campaign event - the same event where he pissed off leftists by raffling off a $1 million check funded by his own money to help drive voter registration initiatives (which leftists claim to love) - Musk recounted the story of how his company, SpaceX, had been tasked by the government to study whether their Starship, which was originally designed to land in the ocean, would hit a shark upon splashdown. “Like for instance, SpaceX had to do this study to see if Starship would hit a shark,” he explained, as the crowd burst into laughter. “And I’m...

    One of the big COVID-19 mysteries is why some people suffer severe illness, while others experience mild colds. Research about reactive T cells produced during infection with other beta coronaviruses — which could explain a level of mitigating immunity for some people — has appeared in journals. Age certainly seems to be a significant risk factor. However, nothing to date explained all differences or provided any insight into which patients may suffer from severe disease.Now researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) have found a specific and sensitive biomarker that may provide more insight:In a new retrospective study,...

    The Medical University of South Carolina – no stranger to scandals involving millions of tax dollars – is facing fresh scrutiny after allegedly making questionable concessions related to the hiring of a new dean. The latest scandal involves Dr. Etta Pisano, the newly-appointed Dean of the College of Medicine at MUSC. Pisano – a renowned radiologist and breast cancer researcher – was recruiting from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill last year. According to sources and documents obtained by FITS – and by her own admission – Pisano’s hiring was contingent on MUSC also hiring four additional employees....
  • Prayer request for my Father (Amyloidosis)

    Please pray for my Dad, diagnosed this week with Amyloidosis with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy. You may never have heard of it. Most Cardiologists will never see a case. He’s 66 and until recently, a healthy, active retiree. He began experiencing weakness, breathlessness and severe swelling. Doctors ran several tests but could not find a cause. They knew his heart was not functioning properly due to excessive pressure. In January, they removed his Pericardium. He felt better for a few months but then his symptoms returned. Walking to the end of the driveway wiped him out. The Doctor found that his heart...
