(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Soon-to-be former Rep. Nancy Pelosi accused one of the two candidates seeking to replace her in Congress of launching a misogynistic attack against her preferred successor. But Pelosi’s accusations quickly backfired, with critics calling them “absurd.”Specifically, Pelosi targeted California state Sen. Scott Wiener after he launched an AI chatbot mocking Pelosi’s endorsed candidate, San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan. Both candidates are vying for the seat after advancing from an open primary earlier this year. According to the New York Post, Wiener’s chatbot mocked Chan’s repeated opposition to housing proposals. The chatbot was billed as “the world’s first…
Controversial far-left streamer and democratic socialist cheerleader Hasan Piker was seen and heard mockingly singing the meme song “We Are Charlie Kirk” at a stop of his “Fear& LIVE” tour over the weekend. The performance drew cheers and laughter from his audience but quite a different reaction online from those who supported or wrote about the influential 31-year-old conservative activist who was assassinated in front of a large audience last September during an appearance at a Utah Valley University. Dressed in what is becoming his trademark Maoist grey suit, Piker sang, “We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We’ll…

On Thursday’s The 11th Hour, MS NOW host Ali Velshi used the show’s regular “Night Light” segment to cheer the defeat of conservative school board members in Sarasota who were backed by Moms for Liberty. Velshi accused the right-leaning group of infringing on children’s “right to read” and of banning “facts.” Velshi began his commentary by noting those who recently won the Democratic nomination for governor and U.S. Senate in Florida, and then added: …but something else happened in Florida on Tuesday. Quieter, lower profile. But it’s something we’ve been watching for four years on the “Velshi Banned Book Club.” In…

On Thursday, Christine Hunsicker, former CEO of the “clothing-as-a-service” startup CaaStle was sentenced to five years in prison for committing nearly $300 million in fraud, the Financial Times reports. As part of Hunsicker’s defense, her lawyers tried to argue that the fraud stemmed from a traumatic brain injury after a “thirty-pound” mirror fell on her head. During the trial, a doctor…

Bicycles on the shores of Lake Como – Screengrab Social Media/X The Mayor has called them ‘beasts.’ I don’t know about you, dear reader, but in my city (Rio de Janeiro), the plague of the bicycles and e-bikes has turned our already chaotic traffic into something far worse. In the streets, over the pavement, riding in the wrong way, it’s only a matter of time until some city authority has to do something drastic about it. And, of course, Rio is far from the only place where this is taking place. Take the United Kingdom, for example, where statistics from…

ABLECHILD: Lindsay Clancy Murder Case More Mental Health Funding or Scrutiny of Psychiatric Drugging?Republished with permission from AbleChild.The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is about as high-profile as any murder case gets and with that comes the usual intense debate and discussion about whether postpartum mental health care needs to be expanded. On social media sites, the conversation about the Massachusetts mother’s culpability in the three children’s murders is, in a phrase, less than polite.ADVERTISEMENTAdvocates of psychiatric services argue that gaps in postpartum mental health care have been exposed and those advocates demand increased spending. Others argue that the psychiatric services provided…
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said he was “kicking the tires” on a 2028 presidential run. Van Hollen said, “Look, what happened in 2024 is that voters were so upset with the status quo that they they voted for a convicted felon, Donald Trump. And my view is Democrats need to really stand for something. We need to be against the status quo. And that’s why I’ve been kicking the tires, as I look at 2028, because I don’t think the Democratic Party has answered the call about how we’re going to make sure we…

Iran threatened neighboring countries Saturday against joining President Donald Trump’s escalating “economic war” against the Islamic Republic, warning those cooperating with Washington will be considered “enemies.” The totalitarian regime further cautioned any U.S. supporters will have their interests targeted while threatening “earthquake-like” retaliation as the United States prepares to unleash what it has billed as the toughest sanctions campaign in history. “We tell all the countries around us not to join the United States in its economic war, otherwise we will consider them enemies,” Mohsen Rezaei, the newly appointed secretary of Iran’s powerful Supreme National Security Council, said during an…

Iran’s president is defending a U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding as a potential route out of the nearly six-month-old conflict, even as a senior Iranian security official threatens retaliation against neighboring countries that assist Washington’s campaign to pressure Tehran.President Masoud Pezeshkian said Sunday that the agreement signed by President Donald Trump in June should be used to move the conflict beyond what he described as a state of “neither war nor peace.” “There is not a single provision in this agreement that amounts to capitulation,” Pezeshkian said in remarks published by Iran’s state-run IRNA. The memorandum established a 60-day deadline for…

With the little regard she has for the workers, as she had for children during the pandemic, Weingarten wants to punish the store for remaining silent on ICE. When Target started putting trans clothes by a Satanist designer at the front of their stores, and partnered with an organization that pushes to change children’s genders WITHOUT parental permission, they drew the wrath of the conservatives.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed California’s controversial “Stop Nick Shirley Act” into law Saturday, which critics say will suppress investigative journalism in the state. Newsom, however, won’t be around to officially field any First Amendment court challenges of Assembly Bill 2624. The law does not take effect until October 1, 2027, nearly ten months after the northern California Democrat has left office because of term limits. The bill expands the state’s “Safe at Home” program to employees of nonprofits that purportedly help people navigating the U.S. immigration system. What that could mean, critics say, is investigative reporters are banned from seeking to…
Screencap of Twitter/X video. Conservative scholar and historian Victor Davis Hanson made some very specific predictions about the 2026 midterms during a recent podcast.

Former Meta Engineer Says Zuckerberg Prioritized Growth Over Child Safety, Testifies at Trial A former Meta Platforms engineering director testified Wednesday that CEO Mark Zuckerberg fostered a culture that treated child safety as secondary to growth and engagement on Facebook and Instagram, according to court proceedings. Arturo Béjar, the states’ first witness, said the company’s top-down structure meant product design changes moved only when Zuckerberg ordered them. “If Mark makes something a priority, mountains move in months,” Béjar said.

“UNBREAKABLE” on Bright U: Inside the DNA repair crisis and the debate over persistent spike protein The first episode of UNBREAKABLE, airing Aug. 29 on BrightU, examines Mike Adams’ hypothesis that spike protein and nuclear fallout could converge on the body’s DNA repair machinery, particularly pathways such as NHEJ and homologous recombination. Adams argues that ionizing radiation can cause serious DNA double-strand breaks while spike protein may interfere with the mechanisms responsible for repairing that damage, raising questions about the potential consequences of simultaneous exposure. The second chapter, streaming Aug. 30, investigates how long spike protein may remain in the…
A study published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia has found an association between frequent television watching and reduced brain volume in regions vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease over a 22-year period. Researchers tracked more than 1,700 middle-aged adults and found that those who reported watching TV very often in the late 1980s had smaller volumes in key brain areas and more damage to the brain’s internal wiring when scanned decades later, according to the report. The associations persisted after researchers accounted for physical activity levels, blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, drinking, and body weight. The study is observational and cannot prove…
A systematic review of 23 studies involving 627 athletes found that the effects of stretching on flexibility and performance depend on the type and duration of stretching used, according to findings published Aug. 9, 2026. The review examined static stretching, dynamic stretching, combined stretching approaches, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching among athletes in flexibility-dependent sports, including gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, dance, and track and field. Static stretching produced moderate flexibility improvements, while dynamic stretching produced smaller flexibility gains but small performance improvements, the report found. The findings indicate that no single stretching method is universally preferable, and the most appropriate…
Recent analyses of clinical trial data have linked daily vitamin D3 supplementation to slower biological aging, according to researchers. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that 2,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D3 daily significantly reduced telomere shortening over four years among participants in the VITAL randomized controlled trial [1]. The findings add to a growing body of research on the nutrient’s effects on cellular markers of aging. Separate analyses have examined epigenetic measures, which reflect changes in gene expression rather than changes to the underlying DNA sequence. A longitudinal study of older adults in…
A groundbreaking British study identifies sharp, post-meal blood sugar spikes (postprandial hyperglycemia) as a potent and specific new risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, shifting focus from just chronic high blood sugar. Using genetic data from over 350,000 people, researchers found a 69% higher risk of Alzheimer’s in those genetically predisposed to high blood sugar after eating, establishing a likely causal link. The increased risk is not explained by general brain shrinkage, suggesting glucose spikes cause more subtle, direct damage to brain cell function through pathways like inflammation and protein damage (glycation). The findings argue for updated public health guidance that…
New research suggests that eating whole, unprocessed foods engages an innate “nutritional intelligence,” leading people to naturally consume hundreds fewer calories daily without conscious restriction. A study found a paradoxical effect: People on an unprocessed diet ate over 50% more food by weight than those on an ultra-processed diet, yet consumed about 330 fewer calories per day, effortlessly reducing intake. They are engineered to combine high calories with added synthetic nutrients, which short-circuits the body’s innate drive to seek nutrient-rich, lower-calorie whole foods, leading to passive overconsumption. Modern ultra-processed foods, designed for craveability, sabotage our evolved ability to gauge nutritional…
