Study: DNA Could Predict Happy Marriage

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .A variation in DNA could determine a person’s ability to experience high levels of gratitude, trust and satisfaction during the first few years of a marriage, a recent study suggests. . .

However, as Makhanova’s study found: “Some people might have a genetic predisposition to intuitively feel more grateful for their partner, be more trusting of their partner and enjoy more long-term satisfaction in their marriage than others.” . . .

Her research team analyzed 142 newlyweds, or 71 couples, during the first three years of marriage.

They found that individuals with a “CC variation” to the CD38 gene — which has been linked to positive behaviors and perceptions in romantic relationships — enjoyed higher levels of marital satisfaction than men and women with an “AC” or “AA” variation of the gene.

In this study, the “A” and the “C” represented the different alleles that determined the variant forms of the CD38 gene. (Read more from “Study: DNA Could Predict Happy Marriage” HERE)

WATCH: Cuomo Refuses to Resign, Blames ‘Cancel Culture’ on Bombshell Sex Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) defied New York Congressional Democrats’ call for him to step down Friday, insisting that he is actually a victim of “cancel culture.”

“There are facts and then there are opinions. And I’ve always separated the two,” a defiant Cuomo told reporters during a conference call. “Politicians who don’t know a single fact, but yet form a conclusion and an opinion, are in my opinion reckless and dangerous.”


“The people of New York should not have confidence in a politician who takes a position without knowing any facts or substance. That, my friends, is politics at its worst,” the governor added. “People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture, and the truth,” he said.

Cuomo, who has served three terms as governor and three years as New York attorney general, then attempted to paint himself as a political outsider who has become the target of the establishment.

“I am not part of the political club, and you know what? I am proud of it. I have been in the public eye my entire life. My entire life I have been under public scrutiny, since I was 23 years old and ran my father’s campaign. New Yorkers know me. Wait for the facts,” Cuomo said in reference to his father, Mario Cuomo, who served as New York’s governor between 1983 and 1994.

Did the Left’s Narrative of an Armed Insurrection on Capitol Hill Die With FBI Official’s Remarks?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Was it an armed insurrection or not? Based on liberal media reports, you’d think this akin to a military takeover in Myanmar. It was a riot. Our own Julio Rosas documented the chaos that day, but an armed insurrection. How many firearms were confiscated that day? Well, the FBI’s Jill Sanborn, a counterintelligence official, said the number was exactly zero (via Daily Caller):

“How many firearms were confiscated in the Capitol or on Capitol grounds during that day?” Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson asked Jill Sanborn, the FBI official, during a Senate Homeland Security hearing.

“To my knowledge, we have not recovered any on that day from any other arrests at the scene at this point,” replied Sanborn, who serves as FBI assistant director for counterterrorism.

“I don’t want to speak on behalf of Metro and Capitol police, but, to my knowledge, none,” she added.

Ridiculous Eighth-Grade Graphic: ‘Fat, Short, Unattractive’ People Are Oppressed

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Fat, short, unattractive” people, females and individuals without children are among the groups facing “oppression” or “resistance,” according to a graphic allegedly given to eighth-graders at a California prep school.

A screenshot of the slide appeared on an Instagram account dedicated to posting about the purported “woke excesses” at the Harvard-Westlake prep school in Los Angeles.

“If you are ‘urban’ you are privileged, but if you are ‘rural’ you are oppressed,” the post from @WokeAtHW reads. “We don’t get it either.”

A Harvard-Westlake spokesperson declined to comment.

The image appears to have been taken from the Intertwine Charter’s “Wheel of privileges and oppression,” part of a jargon-infused Australian document that aims to “aid organisations to become an ally along the axes of oppression the organisation does not inhabit.” (Read more from “Ridiculous Eighth-Grade Graphic: ‘Fat, Short, Unattractive’ People Are Oppressed” HERE)

Twitter Using Section 230 Immunity as Defense in Child-Porn Case

/1 Comment/in , /by

A lawsuit in federal court in California alleges Twitter allowed child-porn videos and images to remain on its platform after receiving complaints, because the posts didn’t “violate policies.”

The social-media behemoth is trying to get out of the case entirely by relying on the immunity from libel litigation it is afforded from Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act, reports the Red State Nation blog.

The law grants social-media platforms immunity because they are regarded as neutral platforms for the flow of information rather than publishers. However, many Congress members argue, Twitter essentially has acted as an editor by censoring or flagging as “false” certain controversial viewpoints.

Twitter allegedly refused requests to remove the pornograhic content, including of a 13-year-old who was tricked into sharing explicit videos and then blackmailed with them. The videos eventually were removed after an agent of the Department of Homeland Security intervened.

“Only after this take-down demand from a federal agent did Twitter suspend the user accounts that were distributing the CSAM and report the CSAM to the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children,” the lawsuit said.

George Floyd Family To Be Paid $27 Million

/0 Comments/in , /by

Minneapolis will pay a record $27 million to settle the lawsuit brought by George Floyd’s family.

Attorneys for the family called it the “largest pre-trial settlement in a civil rights wrongful death case in U.S. history.”

“When George Floyd was horrifically killed on May 25, 2020, it was a watershed moment for America,” family attorney Ben Crump said at a Friday afternoon news conference. “It was one of the most egregious and shocking documentations of an American citizen being tortured to death by a police officer…. one of the worst ever witnessed in history.”

“History will judge us for how we responded to this tragedy.”

Crump applauded Mayor Jacob Frey and council members for the settlement, saying Minneapolis was being watched in its darkest hour: “Now the city can be a beacon of hope and light and change for cities across America and across the globe.” (Read more from “George Floyd Family To Be Paid $27 Million” HERE)

‘Migrant President’: Mexico Sounds Alarm Over Biden Policy; House to Debate Immigration Reform as GOP BLASTS Biden Over Border Crisis

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By WND. Some Democratic lawmakers, particularly in border districts, have criticized Joe Biden’s immigration policies, but now concern is coming from south of the frontier.

Reuters reports Mexican leaders, including left-wing president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, fear the Biden administration is stoking illegal immigration and creating business for organized crime.

Central American nations, said Lopez Obrador, “see Biden as the migrant president, and so many feel they’re going to reach the United States.”

“We need to work together to regulate the flow, because this business can’t be tackled from one day to the next, the Mexican presidentsaid the day after his March 1 virtual meeting with Biden.

Reuters reported internal assessments, based on testimonies and intelligence gathering, state that amid U.S. measures that “incentivize migration,” Mexican gangs are diversifying methods of smuggling and winning clients.

House to Debate Immigration Reform as GOP Blasts Biden Over Border Crisis

By New York Post. The House of Representatives will debate two bills aimed at reforming the US immigration system next week, as Republican leaders slam President Biden for allowing the crisis at the southern border to spiral out of control. . .

Next week, the House will debate two bills aimed at fixing “our broken immigration system,” according to a schedule released Thursday by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.).

One, the American Dream and Promise Act, would establish a path to citizenship for millions of young illegal immigrants, including those afforded temporary protected status dubbed “Dreamers.” . . .

The attempts at reform come as GOP leaders are blasting Biden for his failure to address the growing humanitarian and security crisis at the border.

“President Biden announced that it was his priority to offer citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) during a Thursday press briefing. “What did he think would happen?” (Read more from “House to Debate Immigration Reform as GOP Blasts Biden Over Border Crisis” HERE)

White House Press Cornered on COVID Double Standard for International Travelers vs. Illegal Aliens

/1 Comment/in , /by

Speaking to reporters from the White House Thursday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki failed to explain why Americans and other individuals traveling into the United States by air must show a negative Wuhan coronavirus test for entry — while illegal immigrants crossing the southern border don’t have to do the same.

“In terms of keeping COVID out of the country, does the White House think it’s a problem that travelers have to show a negative COVID test, proof of a negative COVID test, when they fly into the U.S. from any foreign country but travelers don’t need to show anything like that when they walk across the border as long as they don’t go to a port of entry,” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked.

Psaki evaded the question and went after Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

President Biden Forgets His Mask, Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden again forgot to put his mask back on at an event Thursday, even as he repeatedly calls for Americans to wear masks to stop the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden arrived wearing his mask for a bill signing ceremony at the Oval Office but removed it to sign the bill and make remarks to reporters.

After doing so, the president stood up without his mask to leave.

He put a note card and his mask in his suit coat pocket as he smiled and walked out with Vice President Kamala Harris.

This is the third time Biden has walked away from an event without putting his mask back on. (Read more from “President Biden Forgets His Mask, Again” HERE)
