America’s energy fortress: How gas and renewables shield consumers amid Middle East turmoil A domestic boom in natural gas and renewable energy has insulated the U.S. economy from severe price shocks caused by a 2026 Middle East conflict that disrupted global energy supplies, including a major LNG export halt. The shale revolution made the U.S. the top natural gas producer and LNG exporter, while a massive expansion of wind and solar power provides low-cost electricity. Together, they stabilize the grid and have helped keep U.S. energy costs lower than they would otherwise be. Ideological opposition in both parties is hindering…

Study Links Urban Walkability to Larger Hippocampus, Potentially Delaying Dementia Onset Introduction A new study has found that older adults living in highly walkable urban neighborhoods have larger brain structures associated with memory and navigation. The research, published in the journal Nature Cities, suggests that the complex navigation tasks required in such environments may strengthen the brain, potentially delaying the onset of dementia. The study involved over 500 residents of Sydney, Australia, aged 70 to 90. Over a six-year period, researchers used brain scans to measure hippocampal volume, finding a significant correlation between neighborhood walkability and the size of a…
UPFs now make up 50% of the U.S. diet, driving obesity, diabetes and metabolic disorders by bypassing satiety signals—leading to 500 extra daily calories unknowingly consumed. Studies link UPFs to 11% higher preterm birth risk and 5% higher hypertensive disorders (like preeclampsia). Shockingly, 87% of baby snacks and 79% of infant cereals are ultra-processed, setting kids up for lifelong disease. UPFs are designed by Big Food (ex-Big Tobacco) to be hyperpalatable, using artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers and preservatives that disrupt gut health, hormones and metabolism—fueling chronic illness. The FDA and policymakers fail to act due to industry lobbying, allowing toxic additives,…
Smartphone addiction linked to eating disorders in kids and teens: New study reveals disturbing connection A systematic review of 35 studies (52,000+ participants) found that problematic smartphone use (PSU) correlates with body dissatisfaction and eating disorders such as restrictive eating, binge eating, anorexia and bulimia. Teens exceeding 4 hours/day on smartphones face greater stress, suicidal thoughts, obesity and emotional overeating, worsening mental health. Beyond toxic beauty standards, sleep disruption, fitness app obsession and algorithm-driven extreme diet content amplify disordered behaviors. Teens using phones to escape anxiety/depression spiral into worse mental health and eating habits, creating a destructive cycle. Limit screen…
Introduction A 2023 systematic review of clinical research has concluded that supplementation with citicoline, a naturally occurring brain compound, shows positive effects on cognition in individuals diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The review, published in the journal Nutrients, analyzed findings from seven studies involving participants with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular cognitive impairment, Parkinson’s-related MCI, and post-stroke cognitive challenges [1]. Mild cognitive impairment, a noticeable decline in memory or thinking skills that does not yet interfere significantly with daily life, affects an estimated 12–36% of adults over age 65 [1]. With the prevalence of cognitive decline growing, researchers are actively exploring nutritional and lifestyle interventions…
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Tuesday night that Iran doesn’t really want the Strait of Hormuz closed, because it’s costing them $500 million a day. “Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!). They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to ‘save face.’ People approached me four days ago, saying, ‘Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.’ But if we do that,…

A high-stakes ballot fight in Virginia concluded Tuesday night with voters approving a measure that could reshape the state’s political map ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

The issue inside Iran is essentially: 50,000 extremist clerics and IRGC members are holding 90 million people as hostages to a fanatical religious regime. Hopefully the economic oil embargo will eventually begin to fray this Gordian Knot.

While the Arab partners in the region are aligned with Trump on the issue of “extremism” and radicalism, thereby supporting the confrontation with Iranian religious extremists – those same regional partners also consider Israeli conduct in Gaza and Lebanon as religious “extremism.” STATEMENT…

Prayer has been a feature of the U.S. government since the birth of the republic. Since early 2025, the Trump administration has faced a series of legal challenges and public controversies over prayer and religious observance in federal agencies.
