Teenager Diagnosed With Alzheimer’s: It Can Happen at ‘Any Age’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 19-year-old man in China has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. It is the youngest case of the neurodegenerative condition ever reported, according to the South China Morning Post.

The man, who was treated at Capital Medical University’s Xuanwu Hospital in Beijing, had been experiencing gradual memory loss symptoms for two years. It had gotten to the point that he could not remember things that happened within a day nor where his belongs were.

His condition, which made the man abandon high school early, also caused delays in his reading and reacting abilities.

After having the case of probable “early-onset Alzheimer’s disease” detailed in a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers learned even more shocking details about the man’s unique diagnosis.

“This is the youngest case ever reported to meet the diagnostic criteria for probable [Alzheimer’s disease] without recognized genetic mutations,” the authors said. (Read more from “Teenager Diagnosed With Alzheimer’s: It Can Happen at ‘Any Age’” HERE)

Turkey, Syria Hit by New 6.4-Magnitude Earthquake 2 Weeks After Twin Quakes Killed at Least 46,000

/0 Comments/in , /by

A powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Turkey near the Syrian border late Monday — two weeks after twin earthquakes devastated the region, killing at least 46,000 people and leaving millions of people homeless.

The quake — almost as forceful as the 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that struck on Feb. 6, leaving Turkey and Syria under piles of rubble — brought further heartbreak and despair to the already ravaged Hatay province in southern Turkey.

Its tremors were centered around the town of Defne, in Hatay province, Turkey’s disaster management agency AFAD said — but was also strongly felt in the cities of Antakya and Adana, located to the north.

Antakya resident Muna Al Omar — who, like many in the city, is already living in a temporary housing shelter — said she was in a tent in a park when disaster struck again.

“I thought the earth was going to split open under my feet,” she said through tears while holding her 7-year-old son in her arms. “Is there going to be another aftershock?” (Read more from “Turkey, Syria Hit by New 6.4-Magnitude Earthquake 2 Weeks After Twin Quakes Killed at Least 46,000” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson exclusive access to 41,000 hours of footage from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Axios reported Monday, citing sources close to the speaker.

Carlson’s producers reportedly began reviewing the footage on Capitol Hill earlier in February, and his shows will start airing excerpts in coming weeks, according to Axios. Talks between Carlson’s show and McCarthy regarding the footage began in early February, the outlet reported.

“If there was ever a question that’s in the public’s interest to know, it’s what actually happened on January 6. By definition, this video will reveal it. It’s impossible for me to understand why any honest person would be bothered by that,” Carlson told Axios.

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Project Veritas” founder and CEO James O’Keefe has left the company he founded after a group of his staff reportedly tried to oust him.

O’Keefe was put on paid leave as the organization’s board considered whether they would oust him. Employees had been dissatisfied by O’Keefe’s management and alleged he wasted money and was “outright cruel” to his staff, according to the The Daily Beast.

O’Keefe announced to his staff Monday that he was ousted as CEO and from the board in an emotional 15-minute video.

“Throughout my 13 years doing this my mission has evolved,” O’Keefe said in his announcement. “Over the last few weeks I have felt a lot of despair and seen a lot of evil and felt overcome with various emotions.”

“I take away from these the gratitude that I have for many of you, most of you…I reflected upon my appreciation for many of you, what makes this great is because we actually believe in this, we have a passion for this and we have principle.” (Read more from “James O’Keefe Removed From Project Veritas Board, Stripped as CEO” HERE)

Kamala Harris Poses Next to Masked-up Little Girl for Photo-Op

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris posed next to a masked-up little girl in a photo shared to social media in which she offered a message to “Black women and girls everywhere.”

“My message to Black women and girls everywhere: Never ask for permission to lead,” Harris said on Sunday, sharing an image of herself bending down and holding the hand of a little black girl who was wearing a mask covering half her face. Harris is not wearing a mask in the image:

The photo is one reminiscent of the days of Democrat politicians posing with masked-up children for photo ops throughout the pandemic, all while forgoing a mask themselves. Yet, many of these same politicians continued to push universal masking on others, including children.

Perhaps most famous is the image of twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, who appeared maskless, smiling gleefully, while surrounded by dozens of masked children at an elementary school in February 2022.

At the time, City Schools of Decatur stated on its website that all students and employees must wear masks in the buildings. Yet, Abrams broke the rule, at least temporarily, during that specific photo:

Escalation: UK to Become First State to Hand Ukraine ‘Longer Range Weapons’, China to Provide Russia ‘Lethal Support’

/0 Comments/in , /by

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledged that the United Kingdom will become the first state to supply Ukraine with “longer-range weapons” to use in its war with Russia.

In comments made on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, Rishi Sunak said that the West must “help Ukraine to shield its cities from Russian bombs and Iranian drones and that’s why the United Kingdom will be the first country to provide Ukraine with longer-range weapons.” . . .

This escalation comes at a precarious moment for Ukraine’s Western backers, with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressing concern that Communist China is considering graduating from “providing rhetorical, political, diplomatic support to Russia” to “providing lethal support to Russia” — a move which would have “serious consequences” for Sino-American relations. . .

Over the past year, the British government has sent nearly £4 billion to Ukraine in aid, £2.3 billion of which has come in the form of weapons, ammunition, or other military equipment.

Following Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to London earlier this month, Downing Street said that it was actively considering shipping fighter jets and long-range missiles to the war-torn country.

No, Slaves Didn’t Build This Country (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Not long ago, Disney ripped off any pretense of being a family company and dove head-first into the social justice muck with an episode of “The Proud Family” that featured a slam poetry segment that echoed the fringe critical race theory claim that “slaves built this country.”

As RedState reported, it soon surfaced that the writer of the show is a very loud and proud social justice radical named Latoya Raveneau, who has a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and wants to introduce “queerness” to the shows your kids watch whenever she gets the chance. She also bragged that no one at Disney is trying to stop her.

First things first, we need to torpedo this idea that slaves built this country. While it’d be unrealistic to say they weren’t a part of the nation’s development, putting them as the prime constructors of an entire nation is like saying the guy who crafted the axle at the car factory built your vehicle. He was definitely a part of it, but he hardly gets to take full credit.

So many kinds of people came to the new world and worked their own land, built their own towns, and established their own societies without the help of slaves. For one, the Trans-Atlantic slave trade transported well over 12 million slaves, but only a little over 300,000 made their way into the United States. This didn’t happen all at once. Slavery did officially begin in 1619, but it began with just over 20 slaves.

To think that over the course of time that singular group of people built an entire nation — even a burgeoning one — by themselves is the height of fantasy. Especially as you continue to plug in the numbers. (Read more from “No, Slaves Didn’t Build This Country (VIDEO)” HERE)

Biden Announces That U.S. Tax Dollars Will Go Towards Supporting Ukrainian Social Services, Including Paying for Government Pensions (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia’s war on Ukraine dominated the Sunday morning political talk shows, with U.S. lawmakers and officials discussing alleged Russian war crimes, continued U.S. support for Kyiv and new concerns about potential lethal Chinese aid to Moscow almost one year after the invasion was launched. . .

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), meanwhile, stressed on ABC’s “This Week” that the U.S. should designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and start training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets. . .

The Biden administration last month approved sending battle tanks to Ukraine, but some are now pushing the Pentagon to answer Kyiv’s calls for F-16 fighter jets. . .

Biden is set to arrive in Poland on Tuesday to meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda and deliver remarks on global unity in Warsaw. (Read more from “Biden Announces That U.S. Tax Dollars Will Go Towards Supporting Ukrainian Social Services, Including Paying for Government Pensions (VIDEO)” HERE)

Trans Pride Flag Creator, 71, Announces Adoption of 14-Year-Old ‘Trans Daughter’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Navy veteran responsible for designing the transgender pride flag has announced on social media that he and his partner, also a trans-identified male, have adopted a “transgender” child.

Monica Helms, born Robert Hogge, designed the first trans pride flag in 1999. He currently resides in Georgia with his partner Darlene Darlington Wagner, another trans-identified male who is 23 years younger than him.

On December 22, Helms announced that he and Wagner were in the process of adopting a 14-year-old “trans daughter,” who was living with the two adults while the paperwork was being finalized. The child is a biological male who Helms claims is a “girl.”

Helms is currently 71-years-old, but the state of Georgia does not place maximum age restrictions on adoption.

U.S. Sends Bombers up as North Korea Touts ‘Fatal’ Nuke Capacity After Missile Test

/0 Comments/in , /by

North Korea said Sunday its latest intercontinental ballistic missile test was meant to further bolster its “fatal” nuclear attack capacity and threatened additional powerful steps over upcoming military drills between the United States and South Korea.

The United States responded by flying long-range supersonic bombers in a show of force later Sunday for separate joint exercises with South Korean and Japanese warplanes.

Saturday’s ICBM test, the North’s first missile test since Jan. 1, signals its leader Kim Jong Un is using his rivals’ drills as a chance to expand his country’s nuclear arsenal to get the upper hand in future dealings with the United States. An expert says North Korea may seek to hold regular operational exercises involving its ICBMs. (Read more from “U.S. Sends Bombers up as North Korea Touts ‘Fatal’ Nuke Capacity After Missile Test” HERE)
