Coronavirus Has a Scary, Lasting Impact on Our Brains

Coronavirus can significantly impact brain function, causing mental decline equivalent to the brain aging 10 years, according to an alarming new study.

A study of more than 84,000 people in the UK found that the virus left even those deemed recovered with “chronic cognitive consequences” that it compared to dropping 8.5 IQ points.

“People who had recovered, including those no longer reporting symptoms, exhibited significant cognitive deficits,” the study published on MedRxiv said.

“The deficits were broad, affecting multiple cognitive domains,” the researchers warned in the study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed. . .

The cognitive deficits were “of substantial effect size” and “scaled with symptom severity,” especially those hospitalized, but also “evident amongst those without hospital treatment,” the study said. (Read more from “Coronavirus Has a Scary, Lasting Impact on Our Brains” HERE)

Early Voters Want to Change Their Vote After Hunter Biden Exposés; Election Expert Weighs in on Early Voting Surge and What It Means for 2020 Race

By New York Post. The Post’s exposés on Hunter Biden appear to have helped spark a rush of early voters seeing if they can change their minds — with New York one of a handful of states giving some that unexpected right.

More than 58.5 million have already cast their ballots, and searches for “Can I change my vote” started trending over the last few days — linked to searches for “Hunter Biden,” according to Google Trends data.

The biggest interest has come from Arizona, Tennessee and Virginia, all states that — like most of the US — only give residents one shot at the polls.

But “in some states, you can submit your ballot, have a change of heart and, and submit a new ballot,” Matthew Weil, director of the Election Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, told Newsy. . .

In a recent update, the Wisconsin Elections Commission also noted that “many voters” had been getting in contact to see how they could revoke their initial absentee ballot — something they can easily do. (Read more from “Some Early Voters Want to Change Their Vote After Hunter Biden Exposés” HERE)

Election Expert Weighs in on Early Voting Surge and What It Means for 2020 Race

By Fox News. . .More than 59 million total ballots cast as of Monday morning suggested a record turnout for this year’s race compared to the 47.2 million early votes cast in the 2016 election, according to data from the United States Elections Project.

That number of early ballots cast so far represents 43.1% of the total national voter turnout in 2016, and the total number of ballots cast includes more than 40 million mail-in ballots and 19.4 million in-person ballots.

“The numbers are stunning.,” said Elections Project founder and University of Florida political science professor Michael McDonald in an Oct. 25 blog post on the project website. . .

“Nationwide, voters will not only be sent an unprecedented number of at least 87 million mail ballots, but they are returning them sooner than in past elections,” McDonald wrote. “In all nearly 40 million mail ballots have been returned so far, a return rate of nearly 46%.”

“This is good news!” he continued, pointing to worries about whether or not government officials would be able to handle an election during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Yes, there have been problems, and in many places lines are intolerably long,” he recognized. “But, people are voting and there are more opportunities for them to do so by Election Day. Americans’ resilience and support for their democracy is very heartening in these trying times.” (Read more from “Election Expert Weighs in on Early Voting Surge and What It Means for 2020 Race” HERE)

Amy Coney Barrett Confirmed to Supreme Court; Biden Slams ‘Rushed and Unprecedented’ Confirmation

By Fox News. Members of the progressive “Squad” of House Democrats didn’t skip a beat on Monday, calling for court-packing almost immediately after Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Just before the Senate’s vote on Monday, Biden floated the possibility that he could move justices to other courts.

“There is some literature among constitutional scholars about the possibility of going from one court to another court, not just always staying the whole time in the Supreme Court but I have made no judgement,” Biden said at a campaign stop in Chester, Pa.

He went on to say that “there are just a group of serious constitutional scholars, have a number of ideas how we should proceed from this point on.” (Read more from “Amy Coney Barrett Confirmed to Supreme Court” HERE)

Gun Sales Break Records With Increased Gun Control Likely If Democrats Win

Customers entering the GunHo Indoor Shooting Range & Firearm Store in Pass Christian, Mississippi, push by a sign reading, “Leave the world outside this door.” Salesman Daniel Fugere said the sign is intended to welcome everyone to the store. But for many, it’s the world outside that drives them to buy a gun.

“With everything going on today, people don’t feel safe,” he told Newsweek. “A lot of women come in—medical professionals who don’t feel safe walking to their car at night and have never thought about having a gun—and buy a firearm. They feel safer.”

Gun sales have increased throughout the nation, driven by concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, urban riots and the likelihood of increased regulation if the Democrats win the White House, regain control of the Senate and hold the House.

Fugere said most customers buy a weapon for self-protection. He works with customers to match their needs and physical capabilities with the right gun (Read more from “Gun Sales Break Records With Increased Gun Control Likely If Democrats Win” HERE)

Tucker Carlson to Interview Hunter Biden’s Ex-Business Partner

Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski, who has alleged that former Vice President Joe Biden was aware of his son’s pursuit of Chinese business deals despite the 2020 Democratic nominee’s claim to the contrary, will tell his side of the story during a Tuesday night interview with conservative TV host Tucker Carlson.

“Tony Bobulinski says he met with Joe Biden about China,” Carlson tweeted Monday afternoon. “The media have suppressed the story, but it’s real and it matters. Voters have a right to know the details. Bobulinski sits for an extended interview Tuesday night at 8PM ET on Fox News.”

A press release from Fox News said, “The interview, which will be Bobulinski’s first on camera since coming forward about his business dealings with Biden, Bobulinski will discuss new allegations regarding his relationships with both Hunter and the former Vice President.”

Carlson, who over the summer was declared to have the highest-rated program in cable news history, will conduct the interview exactly one week before Election Day.

Newly released texts from Bobulinski suggest that Joe Biden met with Bobulinski, Hunter Biden, and his brother James Biden in 2017. At the time, Hunter and his associates were pursuing a lucrative deal with a Chinese tycoon, complicating claims from the former vice president that he never discussed business dealings with his son.

Alleged ‘Hunter Biden Sex and Drug Tapes’ Posted on Chinese Website Linked To Ex-Top Trump Adviser Steve Bannon

By The Sun. Videos and photos allegedly showing Hunter Biden “engaging in sex acts” were posted on a Chinese website linked to ex-Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon, reports say.

The x-rated tapes were reportedly uploaded by a single user on GTV, a digital media platform operated by GTV Media Group in the wake of the “Ukraine, crack, and sex” scandal.

The media organization was founded in April 2020 by Bannon and Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, reported the Washington Examiner.

The Sun reached out to the Biden campaign, Hunter’s lawyer George Mesires, and Bannon’s legal representative for comment on Sunday.

In one video, the caption read: “US presidential candidate Joe Biden is 100 [percent] controlled by the Chinese Communist Party as one of the most successful political instances of the BGY program.

Med School Professor Calls for President Trump to Be Declared a ‘Public Health Threat’

Dr. Raymond Givens, a cardiologist and professor at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, would like to see President Donald Trump officially declared a “public health threat.”

In an op-ed in MedPage Today, Givens claimed that Trump is “one of the most serious threats to public health and human rights in modern American history” and that the medical community has a responsibility to declare him as such.

“We are ethically bound to identify threats to the health of patients and populations, to speak the truth even if it provokes the anger of powerful people. Refusal to do so is malpractice,” Givens argued. “The [American Medical Association] Declaration of Professional Responsibility asserts that physicians have a duty to ‘educate the public and polity about present and future threats to the health of humanity’ and to advocate for ‘political changes that ameliorate suffering and contribute to human well-being.'”

Consequently, he wrote, “the entire American medical establishment has a duty to name Donald Trump, specifically, as a public health threat and strongly recommend that the upcoming election end his presidency.” . . .

Furthermore, Givens blamed Trump for spreading the disease, noting that “amid rising caseloads across much of the country, he has held large rallies packed with barefaced attendees.” (Read more from “Med School Professor Calls for President Trump to Be Declared a ‘Public Health Threat'” HERE)

Protesters Invade Churches, Demand Legalized Abortion After Pro-Life Legal Ruling (VIDEO)

Protesters in Poland disrupted church services and told congregants attending Mass on Sunday to “get the f*** out” following a pro-life legal ruling that declared.

Protests have continued for four straight nights since the Polish Constitutional Tribunal ruled last Thursday that “abortion in the case of a high probability of severe and irreversible impairment of the fetus or an incurable disease that threatens the fetus” is not permitted by the Polish Constitution.

Activists demanding legalized abortions stormed Catholic churches in the Polish cities of Warsaw, Krakow, and Poznań, LifeSiteNews reported, disrupting Mass and confronting police and counterprotesters. The mass demonstrations are in defiance of the coronavirus pandemic social distancing regulations.

Multiple reports indicate that pro-abortion activists dressed as “handmaids” or carrying signs and chanting entered cathedrals and demanded the right to abortion.

WATCH: Matthew McConaughey Opens up on Joe Rogan About Christianity, Cancel Culture, and Defund the Police

Matthew McConaughey said his religious beliefs are not separate from his belief in science, calling science, “the practical pursuit of God.”

“The two are not exclusive. They dance together; they go together, belief and science. I never saw those as contradictions,” he said on a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

McConaughey explained how his beliefs are intertwined with his acting carer, and why Christianity is often treated as taboo and sometimes plays a role in the cancel culture in Hollywood.

While McConaughey said he hasn’t necessarily encountered pushback for his religious beliefs, he said that the progressive and “illiberal” trend of “condescending and patronizing” people who believe differently must stop.

“To throw somebody, to illegitimize them because they say they are a believer, is just so arrogant and in some ways hypocritical to me,” McConaughey said.

Hillary Clinton: The 2016 Election Was Stolen From Me

Hillary Clinton is still bitter about her presidential election loss in 2016.

“I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from,” Clinton said Monday on the New York Times podcast “Sway.”

I was the candidate who won nearly three million more votes. So no matter how they cut it, it wasn’t the kind of win that people said, ‘OK, it wasn’t my candidate, but OK.’ This election is still front and center in people’s psyches. And people fight about it every day online, because there is a deep sense of unfairness and just dismissiveness toward his victory, and he knows it,” Clinton said.

Clinton blamed her loss in certain key states on former FBI Director James Comey’s letter Congress announcing the existence of emails under investigation. “I absolutely thought I was going to win. So did everybody else. I mean, I know people look back now and say, well, it wasn’t — we were going to win. We were absolutely going to win.” (Read more from “Hillary Clinton: The Election Was Stolen From Me” HERE)
