A retiring Democratic congressman from Maine broke with his party to support President Trump’s escalating tariff campaign against Canada, warning that Ottawa’s refusal to accept American goods will backfire in the long run.Rep. Jared Golden, a Democrat representing Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, told The Hill in an interview published Thursday that Canada is making a strategic mistake by rejecting U.S. trade terms. His district shares a long border with Canada and backed Trump in each of the last three presidential elections, making Golden one of the few House Democrats with both the political incentive and the geographic credibility to side…

Officials struggled for years to curb high-speed crashes along a residential corridor cutting through Albuquerque, New Mexico, but simply punishing the lead-footed drivers didn’t seem to work.What ultimately did was rewarding the law-abiding ones with fewer red lights.The solution, which the city credits for a dramatic drop in crashes and injuries along one busy stretch of road, is a relatively novel version of a longstanding traffic safety concept commonly known as “rest in red,” in which traffic signals default to red until a vehicle approaches. But Albuquerque and Portland, Oregon, took it a step further by adding speed sensors that…

Russia’s campaign of sabotage, cyberattacks, political interference and other covert operations across Europe is increasing frequency and severity, according to a new Congressional Research Service report.The assessment comes as German authorities investigate an explosives-laden drone discovered near a Ukrainian cargo aircraft at Leipzig/Halle Airport. A U.S. intelligence official told ABC News that the device and explosives were consistent with those used by Russia’s military intelligence service, the GRU.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is defending Washington’s recent intervention to support Japan’s yen, warning that a disorderly decline in the currency could have consequences far beyond Japan.In a letter responding to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Bessent said sharp moves in the yen could trigger “forced unwinds” of financial positions, potentially destabilizing global markets and pushing up borrowing costs for U.S. households and businesses. “Disorderly yen markets can trigger forced unwinds, which could destabilize global markets and ultimately raise borrowing costs for American families and businesses,” he wrote in the letter sent on Thursday, according to Reuters.
After cattle country stresses over President Donald Trump’s plan to flood the market with cheaper foreign ground-beef trimmings, the 47th president posted that four giant processors have made life “miserable” for American ranchers and that he is authorizing farmers to process their own food if desired or necessary. “Trump wants to remove some of the red tape and costs associated with setting up USDA inspected facilities for small producers or areas of the country that don’t have USDA processors to be able to sell their protein to consumers in a legal way,” grazier Derek Lange told Just The News last week. …
Climatologist Judith Curry announced earlier this year she would no longer maintain her influential “Climate Etc.” blog. “Climate stupidity” had lost, and it was time to move on, Curry, who has a doctorate in geophysical sciences, wrote in a final entry, While the issue of whether climate change is indeed real, or to what extent it is, remains open to debate. Meanwhile, the news media has retreated from its previous focus on climate stories. Studies show coverage of climate change has declined in frequency, and news organizations such as The Washington Post and NPR, have significantly downsized their climate desk. Some outlets,…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. This weekend on his HBO show, Bill Maher talked about Trump changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, but in a refreshing change, he didn’t make fun of Trump, he ridiculed the liberal outrage over the change. Remember, the left had no problem with tearing down historic statues or renaming everything for George Floyd, but this was somehow a bridge too far for them. Bill Maher has not forgotten any of that, apparently. RedState has details: Liberals are all atwitter over President Donald Trump changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Now,…
Screencap of Twitter/X video. Zohran Mamdani’s new program to provide ‘free’ childcare to New York City residents is already running into all kinds of roadblocks from funding to physical resources. Consider this a preview of how his city-owned grocery stores will operate. Of course, the mayor has no choice but to try to make this work. He campaigned on this program, among others. Also, it’s important to point out that this news about the problems with the childcare program is not being reported by conservative media, it’s the liberal New York Times. Mamdani’s signature childcare program in trouble weeks before…
Screencap of YouTube video. This weekend on the Bill Maher show, Byron Donalds, the Republican candidate for governor of Florida, absolutely mopped the floor with MSNOW contributor Molly Jong-Fast. She tried to set him up on a question about vaccinations, and was clearly trying to portray Donalds as some sort of loon, but his reponse to her was so perfect and intelligent that she ended up looking like a complete moron. Donalds even got applause from Maher’s liberal audience. Transcript via the Vigilant Fox: MOLLY JONG-FAST: “You’ve had to say some stuff. Like last week on Margaret Brennan’s show, you…
California Democrats have been frantically fighting against voter ID. Why? Well because, according to them, asking people to show their ID, the way they would when… entering a government building buying cough syrup or driving a car … is voter suppression. So despite total control over elections, the one-party political machine rigged Proposition 39, which calls for Voter ID, by giving it a negative title, and Secretary of State Shirley Webber insists that ‘elections are under attack’, urges everyone to vote early and insists there’s no possible reason for voter ID. Weber told Baker and the audience that she does…

The swarms of Moroccans, who were encouraged to invade the Spanish town of Cueta in Northern Africa, never went home. The AP said they went home, and the legacy media said they all went home, but they didn’t. Many are still in Cueta, causing a lot of problems. The natives have had enough. They marched into a migrant camp on the beach and torched it. I’m not condoning torching camps, but one can understand the frustration. The police obviously understand. They stood down during the torching. The Spaniards weren’t there to hurt anyone, and they were all ages and genders.…

Breaking away from a phone screen for a few days often proves easier than staying away, according to addiction specialists. Many individuals who complete a short-term digital detox report improved sleep and reduced mental clutter, but they frequently relapse when normal routines resume. Experts say the issue lies in treating the screen as the sole problem and abstinence as the only solution. According to Dr. Judson Brewer, an addiction psychiatrist and neuroscientist, habits are driven by a reward-based learning loop rather than the substance itself. “Your brain has already learned that picking up the phone reliably delivers a hit of…
The longevity triad: Small daily changes in sleep, exercise and diet can add years to your life Minor daily improvements (e.g., +15 min sleep, +2 min exercise, +½ serving vegetables) can collectively extend lifespan by 1+ year, while larger optimizations (e.g., +75 min sleep, +12.5 min exercise, +25-point diet score) may halve mortality risk. The “sweet spot” includes 7.2–8 hours of sleep, 42–103 minutes of daily exercise and a high-quality diet (whole foods, minimal processed sugars/seed oils), potentially adding up to nine extra years of life. Combined, these habits reduce inflammation, enhance immunity, support cellular repair and delay chronic conditions…
The inextricable link: Landmark German study confirms smoking fuels depression risk A major German study provides strong, population-level evidence that smoking significantly increases the lifetime risk of clinical depression. The research found a clear link, with depression being more common in both current and former smokers than in those who never smoked. The relationship is “dose-dependent,” meaning more cigarettes smoked per day correlates with more severe depressive symptoms. The analysis showed that for each additional cigarette smoked daily, the severity of current depressive symptoms increased, with a pack-a-day habit linked to a clinically meaningful rise in depression scores. The…

A new report highlights black garlic as a nutrient-dense food produced by aging raw garlic at a controlled low temperature over several weeks, according to the analysis. The process results in a dark color, soft texture and a sweeter flavor. The report stated that this transformation significantly alters the garlic’s chemical profile, concentrating protective plant compounds. Black garlic contains up to 10 times more hydroxycinnamic acid and eight times more flavonoids than regular garlic, the report said. The aging process also increases the body’s ability to absorb these beneficial compounds, according to the findings [1][2]. Garlic contains over a hundred…
Identified as a potential superfood, a comprehensive scientific review positions bamboo shoots as a natural food with significant potential to combat modern health issues like diabetes, heart disease and chronic inflammation. Its nutritional profile drives broad health benefits, being rich in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals while low in fat, which supports better blood sugar control, improved cholesterol and enhanced digestive and gut health. Proper preparation is critically important, as raw or improperly prepared shoots of some species contain natural toxins that can release cyanide and affect thyroid function; these risks are neutralized by traditional methods like pre-boiling. Research is…

Newly obtained documents reportedly show that Dr. Anthony Fauci instructed an aide to permanently delete an email concerning controversial gain-of-function research years before the COVID-19 pandemic. The emails, obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, date back to 2012, when Fauci was defending experiments that made a highly dangerous strain of bird flu transmissible through the air. Dutch virologist Ron Fouchier conducted the experiments with funding from Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Fouchier described the resulting virus as “probably one of the most dangerous viruses you can make.” Eight years before COVID emerged, a journalist issued…

Screengrabs Social Media/X Upscaled by Grok AI Kiev is becoming the ‘city that never sleeps’ – for all the wrong reasons. Back when Ukraine had sufficient amounts of air-defense missiles, Russian forces used to send the largest-possible combined missile-drone attacks, to overwhelm these defenses, and strike the designated targets. But, now that the stockpiles of Patriot interceptor missiles are all but over, Moscow has changed the approach: smaller strike packages are being sent at intervals, making life in the capital starting to become unbearable. Sources both Ukrainian and Russian confirm that Kiev has been struck by missile and raids for…

Sara Carter, Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (Drug Czar), was on Newsmax‘s “Greg Kelly Reports” to talk about the progress of destroying the cartels and reducing fentanyl deaths in the United States. During the four years of Biden’s open border, cartels were funneling in massive amounts of fentanyl, killing a massive number of Americans. Since President Trump resumed office, his administration has aggressively targeted drug cartels by land, air, and sea. Securing the border has also helped in reducing the flow of illegal drugs into the United States. “This has been a dramatic turnaround. Fair to…
