Scientists have been studying the connection between tea and cardiovascular health for years, and several studies suggest that regularly drinking the brewed beverage may help protect the heart and blood vessels. However, the benefits aren’t necessarily the same for every type of tea, and researchers are still trying to determine how much is beneficial.The Study One reason tea interests scientists is that it contains natural plant compounds called polyphenols, including flavonoids. These compounds may help protect blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and improve the way the body regulates blood pressure and cholesterol. In a new study published October 21, 2026, in…

Less than a year before the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, President Donald Trump ordered U.S. forces to join their Israeli counterparts in bombing Iran. It was a decision whose consequences could impact the rest of his time in office.Since then, polling has shown falling support among the U.S. general public for the war, the president, and his party.The Epoch Times spoke to 45 prospective voters from five different states about how the Iran conflict and Trump’s other foreign policy actions are influencing their voting decisions. Those surveyed included Republicans, Democrats, independents, and some who aren’t sure where they now stand.Those…

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart joined PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett and National Review editor Ramesh Ponnuru on Friday to react to the news that the DOJ is suing to prevent certification in Alaska’s Senate race should the margin end up being small enough where it could be argued that Imposter Dan Sullivan denied Sen. Dan Sullivan a victory. Capehart continued his new hobby of claiming the federal government has “nothing to do with elections, period, anywhere,” despite him previously being a big fan of federal involvement. Bennett began by wondering, “The Justice Department is now suing to potentially…

A federal appeals court handed President Donald Trump’s administration a significant immigration enforcement victory Friday, ruling that illegal immigrants detained within the United States have no constitutional right to a bond hearing, regardless of how long they have lived in the country. In a 10-7 decision, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld the administration’s detention policy, reversing an earlier panel ruling and limiting legal challenges that had allowed detained migrants to seek release. The decision affects immigration cases in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, strengthening the administration’s authority to detain illegal immigrants while deportation proceedings are…

House Democrats are already plotting to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth if they regain control of Congress in November, making the Trump administration official a top target of their anticipated return to power. While Democratic leaders have largely avoided discussing another impeachment of President Donald Trump, they have openly embraced efforts to remove Hegseth. “One of the first things we’re going to do in the majority, we’re going to run Pete Hegseth out of town,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., declared during a Pennsylvania rally earlier this month. According to The Wall Street Journal, Democrats are preparing impeachment efforts…

Homes sit empty across the United States while potential owners and renters face affordability challenges and housing shortages in America’s more desirable regions. Real estate and mortgage insiders say the paradox of having both a surplus and shortage of housing is symptomatic of a deeper problem: The country’s supply is disconnected from where people want and need to live.These geographic discrepancies are compounded by issues like America’s aging housing stock and a concentration of vacant units in seasonal or economically declining markets.Last year, the housing supply gap surpassed 4 million homes, while recent research points to an excess of housing…

World18 sources·Updated Oct 24, 2026·1 min readPete Hegseth said on Oct. 23, 2026, that Confucius Institutes are designated a threat to U.S. national security. He made the announcement in a video posted on the X account @SecWar. In the video he stated, “The War Department has designated Confucius Institutes as a threat to our national security.” He said, “These Chinese government-backed propaganda cultural programs had infiltrated our nation’s universities in almost every state,” and that Congress had banned them a few years ago. He continued, “It turns out that 80 new propaganda cells across 30 universities had popped up using…

I want to say—right at the outset—that some of my best friends are from Seattle. But anyone who believes in things like having a police force is at risk of being asked to leave. I am having dinner with a close friend in West Seattle when he tells me, “Being a conservative in Seattle is like being a gay Jew in Iran.” A not-so-outrageous comparison the more time I spend there. Seattle and Portland seem to be engaged in a competition to become the least tolerant cities in America, at least when it comes to tolerating anyone who disagrees with…

For 80s kids like me, the movies of the era stay with you, even define you. One of the best is The Goonies. No film better encapsulates the courage and camaraderie of a bunch of boys taking on a challenge and winning. One of my favorite characters is Data, played by Chinese-American actor Ke Huy Quan. I enjoyed his quirkiness, resourcefulness, and humor, which captured the character of the movie. I like Ke Huy Quan, the actor, as well. This former child star had disappeared from Hollywood for years. Then in 2023, he made an incredible comeback in the multi-Academy…

Note: This is the final in a series of observations that have appeared periodically as the 2026 midterm election approaches. The first installment may be found here, and the second installment may be found here. Torn from today’s headlines, last weekend’s gospel reading was Matthew 22:15-21. The Pharisees embedded some of their disciples among the Herodians to spring a political trap for Jesus. He was asked, “Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?” Not taking their bait, Jesus rebuked them as hypocrites for testing him and pronounced, “Then repay what belongs to Caesar and to…

Last weekend’s riots across France were simply brutal, with a reported 2,500 arrests,1000 police officers injured, some 3,000 businesses trashed and looted with damage estimated at over one billion dollars, and multiple  attacks on official buildings like the historic city hall in the French town of Limoges, built in 1883, which was burned down. This was nothing like January 6th, but it didn’t stop CNN’s Ana Navarro from claiming that it was, as she ripped Trump and ICE on Tuesday’s The Situation Room. Co-host Wolf Blitzer began the segment with a clip of President Trump warning that what happened in…

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un arrived in China’s border city of Dandong on Saturday, crossing the newly opened New Yalu River Bridge from North Korea, according to South Korean officials and news reports. The visit is his first trip to China in about a year, but neither government has announced its purpose or itinerary. A meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and discussions on economic cooperation are possible, though unconfirmed. The trip comes ahead of the APEC summit in Shenzhen as President Donald Trump seeks to restart talks with Pyongyang.Where do you stand?

Researchers have warned of “gradual disempowerment” – a scenario where humans surrender decision-making, critical thinking and physical labor to AI systems as they surpass humans in cognitive and physical tasks, driven by economic incentives to phase out workers. The concept, detailed in a 2025 study, does not require a deliberate AI power grab – but is incentivized by the perceived value AI brings to economic, cultural and state function. This leads to potential “cognitive surrender” where users lose essential skills. AI systems are already influencing consequential decisions such as military targeting and foreign policy, with concerns that removing human accountability could…

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has issued a travel advisory warning Iranian citizens against non-essential travel to European Union (EU) states experiencing large-scale street protests. The warning, published Monday, Oct. 19, specifically names France, Belgium, and Italy as countries where authorities have reported unrest and disruption to public order [1][2][3].

Nattokinase, a fermented soybean enzyme, has demonstrated ability to degrade SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in two independent laboratory studies. The enzyme works through multiple mechanisms: direct fibrinolysis, activation of the body’s own clot-dissolving system, and inactivation of PAI-1. No controlled human trial has yet proven nattokinase clears vaccine-derived spike from human tissue. Dosing matters significantly: 10,800 FU/day showed plaque reduction in one study while 2,000 FU/day showed no effect in a randomized trial. Safety precautions are essential as nattokinase is a potent fibrinolytic that can increase bleeding risk with anticoagulants.

In the days of the American founding, ministers stood in pulpits and preached election sermons. They opened the Bible, laid out the duties of rulers and the people who choose them, and warned the land against the sins that invite judgment. We need that clarity again. Right now, one question stands above the rest: Whether the killing of the unborn will continue under the protection of law, or whether the civil magistrate will once more bear the sword of authority to defend the weakest among us (Romans 13:4). Abortion is on the ballot. Period. Psalm 8 asks, “What is man…

The current election cycle has been marked by the emergence of prominent Christians who have won Senate primaries for the Democratic Party, such as Pastor Adam Hamilton in Kansas and Presbyterian seminarian James Talarico in Texas. But observers are pointing out that in the Democratic Party’s attempt to appeal to Christian voters, they are sacrificing biblical truth regarding their stances on the nation’s most sensitive human dignity issues. The trend of pastors running as Democrats for office became a true phenomenon last November, when Axios reported that a “shocking” number of 30 white pastors were tracked as running for elected office. “This…

For months on the campaign trail, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has played the part of a convincing optimist, telling every reporter who would listen that his battered GOP still has a chance in November. “I’m telling you, the polling is wrong,” he insisted to Fox News’s Dana Perino last week. Most people dismissed the likeable party leader as just doing his job as chief cheerleader. But after the latest bombshell, the speaker might not be as off base as Americans thought. The news that Wedgewood Polling has been faking its numbers — inflating the Democrats’ lead in most instances — hit…

Proposition 1 in Idaho endangers the lives of women and preborn babies for a whole host of reasons.

By Clarke Forsythe, Op-ed Contributor Saturday, October 24, 2026  | ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS/AFP via Getty ImagesPrincipled pro-life voters may face a difficult choice at election time. The candidates on our ballot may not be ideal, yet for each office only one will win. When presented with one or several less-than-ideal candidates, voting against the worst choice is reasonable and morally justified. In his day, Abraham Lincoln made that case, as well. For example, Evangelical Christians were criticized after the 2016 election for voting for Donald Trump. Many critics, however, ignored two essential factors: when did Evangelicals move to Trump and why. Trump…

President Trump said Google CEO Sundar Pichai refused his request to rename the Atlantic Ocean on Google Maps after the firm already adopted Gulf of America and Lake America for U.S. users.Speaking Wednesday at a rally in Clemson, S.C., Trump recounted calling the Google chief and floating the change for the world’s second-largest ocean.

Tom Skerritt, the Alien and Picket Fences star who won an Emmy as television’s steady small-town sheriff, has died at 93 of natural causes.The veteran actor passed away on Oct. 21, his family said in a statement distributed by publicist Susan Madore. Fox News reported the family described itself as heartbroken and asked for privacy while grieving. Skerritt built a six-decade career as Hollywood’s reliable everyman, the captain, the coach, the father, the sheriff, rather than the flashy lead. Screen credits reached back to the early 1960s, often in Westerns, and ran through the 2025 film “Broke.” His family remembered…

My grandson is 21, pursuing a degree in college and active in sports and social life.  His future looks bright.  But he and others of his generation will enter that future with a handicap imposed on them by people they have never met:  Policymakers at the Federal Reserve. They claim to be “firmly committed to fulfilling its statutory mandate from Congress of promoting maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.” What’s wrong with that?  In Fed parlance “stable prices” mean prices that remain roughly the same.  As a government-created central bank that manages the nation’s monetary system, the…

“From each according to his ability to each according to his need” is the classic operating manual for socialism.  In fact the Pilgrims signed on to the Mayflour Compact etc. under ship’s papers tbat spelled that out and became Plymouth’s Charter.

Unfortunately, there’s a fatal flaw, a key to human nature missing from that operating system.  Here are some clues – – – When the boys are buying drinks at the pub, what happens when Donald never buys a round? What happens when Natalie never takes a turn driving…
