. . .Researchers at Johns Hopkins University sought to confirm this association by giving respondents a caffeine tablet. Their results are published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

They conducted a double-blind trial in which participants who did not regularly eat or drink caffeinated products received either a placebo or a 200-milligram caffeine tablet five minutes after studying a series of images.

Salivary samples were taken from the participants before they took the tablets to measure their caffeine levels. Samples were taken again one, three, and 24 hours afterwards.

The next day, both groups were tested on their ability to recognise images from the previous day’s study session. On the test, some of the visuals were the same as those from the day before, some were new additions, and some were similar but not the same.

More members of the caffeine group were able to correctly identify the new images as “similar” to previously viewed images rather than erroneously citing them as the same. (Read more from “Super Supplement Found to Boost Memory Within 24 Hours of Taking It in Breakthrough Study” HERE)

Kamala Harris a Descendant of ‘Brutal’ Irish Slave Owner Who Was a ‘Seriously Bad Man’: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Kamala Harris’ Indian-Jamaican roots are again in the spotlight, but this time it is not her political rival Donald Trump sounding alarms. Radar Online exclusively reported that the Vice President is apparently the descendant of an Irish slave owner who was reportedly ‘brutal’ and a ‘seriously bad man.’ A British historian is said to have made the allegation.

From her maternal side, the US Democrat is half-Indian; her mother Shyamala Gopalan was born in Madras, India. She is also half-Jamaican from her father Donald Harris’ side. The reports of her Irish connection came after it was revealed that she was born in Brown’s Town on the Caribbean island—named after Hamilton Brown, the enslaver—who’s been cited as the great-great-great-great grandfather of Harris by the historian.

Donald, the VP’s father who is also a professor, wrote in an article published in the Jamaica Global Online, “My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown), a descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slaveowner and founder of Brown’s Town, a town in Jamaica.”

‘Fake a—’: Barack Obama’s Estranged Brother Launches Attack Against Former President, Drops Another Endorsement for Donald Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former president Barack Obama’s older half-brother, Malik Obama, has entered the 2024 presidential campaigning season.

The Kenyan native, who has dual citizenship in the family’s African homeland and in the United States, has taken to social media to throw his support behind Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump and take a potshot at his famous brother — despite the latter not running in the election.

Malik started by posting an old photo of himself and his brother on X platform on Sept. 3, captioned, “Fake A— when we were brothers.”

The tweet drew a flurry of support from Trump’s followers, urging Malik to “Speak your truth” and homophobic slurs at the 44th president.

The next day, Malik formalized his endorsement, echoing his 2016 stance, stating, “I am Malik Obama. I’m a registered Republican and I’m voting for President Donald Trump.”

Trump Discusses Inevitability of Death, Says He Wants Religious Revival in U.S. (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump spoke about his own mortality and the need for a religious revival in the U.S. during a recent interview with Russian-American podcaster Lex Fridman.

During the hour-long interview posted on Tuesday that touched on topics ranging from the 2024 presidential election to the Kennedy assassination and UFOs, the conversation honed in at the end on mortality and the role religion plays in coming to terms with it and the potential of an afterlife.

“One of the tragic things about life is that it ends,” Fridman said. “How often do you think about your death? Are you afraid of it?”

Trump, who narrowly escaped an assassin’s bullet on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, recounted that he has a “very successful” friend in his mid-80s who thinks about death constantly and often reminds him that time is slipping away.

“He said, ‘I think about it every minute of every day,'” Trump noted of what his friend said of death. “Then, a week later, he called me to tell me something, and he starts off the conversation by going, ‘Tick-tock, tick-tock.’ This is a dark person, in a sense, but it is what it is.” (Read more from “Trump Discusses Inevitability of Death, Says He Wants Religious Revival in U.S. (VIDEO)” HERE)

Alleged School Shooter Was on FBI’s Radar for Over a Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

Colt Gray, the teen suspected of gunning down four people at a Georgia high school Wednesday, has been on the FBI’s radar since last year — when he was investigated by local authorities in connection to online school shooting threats, the bureau revealed.

In May 2023, the FBI received several anonymous tips about threats to carry out violence at an unidentified school, with the harrowing posts including photos of guns, according to a Wednesday night statement from the bureau’s Atlanta field office.

The Jackson County Sheriffs’ Office identified Gray, then 13, as a possible suspect and interviewed him and his father.

Gray’s dad told investigators at the time that he had hunting guns in the house — but his son didn’t have unsupervised access to them, according to the statement . .

There was no probable cause to take any further action, however local schools were alerted “for continued monitoring” of Gray, per the statement.

Court Says Improperly Dated Mail Ballots Must Be Counted, in ‘Untethered and Unprecedented’ Ruling

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Pennsylvania court Friday sided with left-wing special interests, blocking the state from enforcing part of a law that required mail ballots to be properly dated in order to be counted.

In a 4-1 ruling, which saw President Judge Renée Cohn Jubelirer — elected as a Republican — side with three elected Democrat judges, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania majority sided with the left-leaning American Civil Liberties Union and the Black Political Empowerment Project, among others, declaring the “strict enforcement” of state law (Act 77) requiring election officials to reject improperly dated or undated mail-in ballots “unconstitutional.”

Calling the decision a “wholesale abandonment of common sense” made in an “untethered and unprecedented fashion,” Judge Patricia A. McCullough described in a scathing dissent how the court majority bent over backward to ensure Pennsylvania voters did not have to date their mail-in ballots:

“[T]o reach its desired end, the Majority today (1) finds jurisdiction where it does not exist, (2) ignores more than a century of sound Pennsylvania Supreme Court precedent interpreting the Free and Equal Elections Clause, (3) applies strict scrutiny without any authority for doing so, (4) accepts Petitioners’ invitation to usurp the role of the General Assembly and re-write Act 77 of 2019 (Act 77), and, in a twist of tragic irony, (5) voids altogether absentee and mail-in voting in Pennsylvania.”

Act 77 was passed in 2019 as part of Pennsylvania’s mail-in voting law. State statute includes the requirement that “an absentee ‘elector shall. . .fill out, date and sign the declaration printed on’ the second, or outer, envelope ‘on which is printed the form of declaration of the elector,’” as cited in the majority opinion.

Look Who’s Using Social Media to Impersonate American Voters and Spread Divisive Narratives

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new report has found Chinese operatives are using social media platforms to impersonate American voters and spread divisive narratives about issues in the U.S., particularly social issues, and political conversations around the 2024 presidential election.

Graphika, a company that analyzes online social media behaviors, published their report titled “The #Americans” Tuesday, detailing how Spamouflage – a Chinese state-linked influence operation – has become increasingly aggressive on social media platforms, using personas disguised as Americans to sew divisive narratives.

Spamouflage is an influence operation first monitored by Graphika in 2019. Active on over 40 online platforms, it uses inauthentic accounts to promote pro-China and anti-Western narratives. Graphika determined the origins of the operation are linked to the Chinese government.

Graphika’s ATLAS intelligence reporting, which analyzes real-time intelligence and data, identified over a dozen accounts claiming to be American citizens, fifteen Spamouflage accounts were found on X, while one account was found on TikTok.

These accounts all claim to be American citizens, and have been found to be sowing doubt in the U.S. electoral process, while also targeting social issues like gun control, racial inequality, and the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Analysts state much of the content was likely generated through the use of artificial intelligence.

Tim Walz Ignores Question on How He and Harris Will Lower Prices (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) ignored questions on how he and Vice President Kamala Harris will lower prices.

The clip, shared by Trump War Room, shows Walz sitting amongst a crowd of people. One person could be heard asking, “What’s your administration going to do about lowering prices?” adding, “Can you answer the question, please?”

Of course, Walz completely ignored the question — a move apparently backed by his handlers, as the video shows.

This moment comes as many Americans observe the stark reality that both Harris and Walz seem to refuse to answer questions that are not scripted. That aside, even when Harris was asked in her one and only sit-down interview since her coronation about Bidenomics and lowering prices, she largely deflected.

As Harris spoke about plans to lower prices, CNN’s Dana Bash asked, “So, you have been Vice President for three-and-a-half years. The steps that you’re talking about now, why haven’t you done them already?” (Read more from “Tim Walz Ignores Question on How He and Harris Will Lower Prices (VIDEO)” HERE)
