This Activity Could Be Just as Potent as Medication in Relieving Depression, Study Finds

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We’ve all heard about the “runner’s high” — but could that exercise-induced euphoria be as effective as antidepressants?

A new study from Vrije University in Amsterdam compared the effects of antidepressants and running on anxiety, depression and overall health during a 16-week period.

The study included 141 patients who had depression and/or anxiety. They were given the option to choose to take SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressants or to participate in group-based running therapy for a 16-week period, according to a press release from the university. . .

The results of the study, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders and presented at the ECNP Congress in Barcelona this weekend, showed that running and medications offer about the same benefits for mental health.

In terms of physical health, the running demonstrated improvements, while the antidepressants had a slightly negative impact. (Read more from “This Activity Could Be Just as Potent as Medication in Relieving Depression, Study Finds” HERE)

White House Roasted for Hosting BBQ as Israel Reels From Hamas Massacre

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden was criticized on social media for hosting a barbeque while Hamas terrorists continue attacking Israel through the weekend.

The war, which began early Saturday morning on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, has killed at least 1,100 people so far. More than 700 people were found dead in Israel, with at least 400 other decedents in Gaza.

A reporter overheard a live band at the White House on Saturday evening and inquired why.

“In the late afternoon and early evening, a live band could be heard coming from the area near the Rose Garden,” the pool reporter wrote. “Your pooler asked why a band was playing. From the White House: The President and First Lady are hosting a BBQ for White House Executive Residence Staff and their families.” (Read more from “White House Roasted for Hosting BBQ as Israel Reels From Hamas Massacre” HERE)

‘Tickling the Dragon’s Tale’: U.S. To Prepare for Underground Testing of Nuclear Weapons Without Any Explosions

/0 Comments/in , /by

The scientists in charge of making sure nuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile are still functioning are set to start moving key components to the desert in Nevada in November to prepare for underground testing.

Those at national defense laboratories have not been able to confirm the effectiveness and reliability of nuclear warheads since 1992, when an underground test ban was instituted. However, the Associated Press reported that Energy Department officials announced on Thursday that they have figured out the next best thing, which has been referred to as “tickling the dragon’s tale.”

The $1.8 billion Scorpius project could move beyond the theoretical computing model to research, in detail, what goes into a nuclear implosion without carrying out a nuclear explosion. The report noted that this strategy could be put in place as early as 2027, according to Jon Custer, head of the Sandia project.

Custer noted that the reason why this strategy is referred to as “tickling the dragon’s tail” is because the experiment approaches but remains below the phase at which nuclear materials ignite a series of chain reactions, according to the report. The question scientists are trying to answer is whether U.S. nuclear weapons are still operative.

Ex-Trump National Security Adviser: Biden’s Ransom to Iran Incentivized Hamas to Take American Hostages

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Trump National Security Adviser Robert C. O’Brien criticized the Biden administration for paying Iran $6 billion in ransom money, saying that it incentivized Hamas to take Americans in Israel hostage on Saturday as it launched a number of terrorist attacks across the country.

“While welcoming our Iran hostages home, I said at the time — paying ransom (eg unfreezing $6 billion) is problematic because it incentivizes new hostage taking & gives terrorists money for new operations. I didn’t think we would see these points illustrated so vividly, so quickly,” O’Brien posted on X.

O’Brien served during the Trump administration as the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs from 2018 through 2019 and helped secure the release of American pastor Andrew Brunson from Turkey in 2018. He also helped secure the release of Danny Burch, an American oil worker in Yemen.

O’Brien said he called on President Joe Biden on Saturday to deploy the FBI Hostage Rescue Team and Joint Special Operations Command’s hostage extraction forces to assist Israel.

“We now know [American citizens] have been taken by Hamas,” O’Brien posted. “Those teams should be airborne to the region now to be in a position to rescue our countrymen.”

Joe Rogan Reveals How California Teacher Attempted to Indoctrinate His 5-Year-Old Daughter Into ‘Woke, Guilt-Ridden Ideology’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Rogan revealed how a California teacher attempted to indoctrinate his 5-year-old daughter into a “woke, guilt-ridden ideology” on a recent episode of his popular podcast.

Rogan began by saying that there are “good schools” in the Austin area where he now lives, but noted that California is “much more problematic” when it comes to education.

“They hired some person to teach them that they have to be antiracists and it’s not good enough not to be racist,” Rogan began his rant.

“My kids aren’t racist at all,” he said on a recent “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. “What are you doing? Like, why are you putting that into their head? That they have to be antiracist and call out racism.”

Rogan declared that the teacher was “trying to make them be activists.”

Disney Blasted With Allegations of Discrimination After Outright Horrendous Treatment of Autistic Man

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Meet Bryce, an autistic man with the mindset of a five-year-old who has a love for Disney Princesses. The problem is they allegedly don’t have the same love for him — and as a matter of that, this is a pure example of the real Mickey Mouse & Co. (if the allegations are true, of course).

A TikToker with the username @jahsokattano recently released a viral video highlighting her time as an unofficial Disney Princess cosplayer when she dressed up as characters for parties and events. She also introduced us to Bryce’s story — who said he is beloved by all of her fellow Princesses she works with. . .

While with Snow White, Bryce allegedly wanted to hug the Disney Princess but she apparently declined, with the video showing an awkward back-and-forth between the two before the Snow White performer darted away from Bryce. . .

But Bryce’s worst experience came during his time with Merida, with the Disney character allegedly calling security on him after he was following her through Fantasyland. . .

Bryce saw Merida again later on, approaching her to hand her a gift, but as the video shows, she completely ignored him — and apparently called security on him again.

@jahsokattano ‼️PLEASE SHARE‼️@Disney Parks and to sit there and refuse the gifts he makes, is so disgusting. You could at least take it act like you want it and throw it away later if it’s that deep. Dont break his heart like that! There’s literally no excuse or reason PERIOD. They need to do their job THE RIGHT WAY. People don’t wanna spend thousands of dollars to go all the way for them to be disappointed like that. To those parents you broke their babies heart. Not once, but TWICE, it being the SAME Merida. The fact that she knew who he was, and turned her ass around to run away to act like she didn’t see him was dirty and foul asf! And you can clearly see him trying to get her attention! He’s not creepy or weird. He’s just an adult with autism. And a very respectful man! I literally can’t stand it anymore. Shame on you disneyland California. You guys need to find a new Merida. #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #autismawareness #autismacceptance #adultswithautism #disneylandcalifornia #disneyland #disneyparks #waltdisney #disney #disneyprincesses #disneylandanaheim #anaheimcalifornia #anaheimdisneyland #californadisneyland #viral #awarness #enoughisenough #meridacurse ♬ original sound – 𝕵𝖆𝖍𝖘𝖔𝖐𝖆𝖙𝖙𝖆𝖓𝖔

Police Beef up Security at Jewish Synagogues Across U.S. After Hamas Attacks Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police in major cities across the United States are taking extra precautions to protect Jewish citizens as Israel goes to war against Hamas following a surprise attack by the militant group during a period of Jewish holidays over the weekend.

In New York City, which has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Saturday that efforts were underway to identify “potential threats” and that he was in communication with top New York Police Department officials.

“While there is no credible threat to New York City at this time, our administration is in touch with Jewish leaders across the five boroughs, and we have directed the NYPD to deploy additional resources to Jewish communities and houses of worship citywide to ensure that our communities have the resources they need to make sure everyone feels safe,” Adams added.

Law enforcement in nearby New Jersey “will be increasing patrols in sensitive areas – particularly houses of worship for both the Jewish and Islamic faiths – and taking other steps out of an abundance of caution,” said Attorney General Matthew Platkin.

Pentagon Sends Largest Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East, Says Military Aid Will Soon Reach Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon will send aircraft and its largest aircraft carrier to the Eastern Mediterranean in a show of force to support Israel in its war against Hamas terrorists, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in a statement Sunday.

The Pentagon will begin transferring an unspecified amount of security assistance to Israel, including ammunition, Sunday that is expected to reach the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in “the coming days,” Austin said in the statement. Meanwhile, Austin, at the direction of President Joe Biden, has ordered the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford along with its strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean and moved to enhance fighter aircraft squadrons in the region.

“We have also taken steps to augment U.S. Air Force F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the region,” Austin said. “The U.S. maintains ready forces globally to further reinforce this deterrence posture if required,” Austin said.

The Ford is the U.S. Navy’s newest and greatest aircraft carrier and was already deployed to the Mediterranean when Israel’s parliament formally approved a war declaration on Hamas attackers Sunday morning. Israel has not gone to war since 1973.

Movement of U.S. forces nearer to Israel will “strengthen Department of Defense posture in the region to bolster regional deterrence efforts,” Austin said. The decision came after detailed discussions with the president. (Read more from “Pentagon Sends Largest Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East, Says Military Aid Will Soon Reach Israel” HERE)

Israel Strikes Back at Terrorist Targets Inside Border Areas

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) began launching strikes on Saturday and Sunday against the Palestinian terrorists responsible for the widespread terror attacks that have resulted in hundreds of Israelis being killed.

The IDF struck hundreds of targets inside of Gaza, from which the Palestinians had launched the thousands of rockets at Israel and later stormed the border.

“Terror infrastructure in the residence of Farah Hamed, a senior operative belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization, was targeted,” the IDF said. “The site was located adjacent to a mosque and three schools, which demonstrates that the Hamas terrorist organization takes advantage of holy sites and civilians to advance terror operations.”

The IDF targeted terrorist tunnels, Hamas facilities, vehicles carrying terrorists, and terrorists involved in operations on the ground. (Read more from “Israel Strikes Back at Terrorist Targets Inside Border Areas” HERE)

More and More Detransitioners Are Taking the Fight to the Doctors Who Ruined Their Lives

/6 Comments/in , /by

A “tidal wave” of detransitioners have sued their doctors over the transitions they received as minors, with many more to come, lawyers told the Daily Caller.

The law firm Campbell Miller Payne was established in 2023 by lawyers Jordan Campbell, Ron Miller, Josh Payne, and Daniel Sepulveda. The lawyers represent detransitioners in a number of high-profile cases, including Prisha Mosely and Soren Aldaco. Despite the newness of the firm, Campbell tells the Caller that they “average about one potential new client a week.”

“And that’s barely having gotten off the ground.”

“I think, frankly, we’re at the front end of a tidal wave coming the other direction,” Campbell told the Caller, “which is part of the reason I was willing to put my career on the line and go after this.”

Aldaco sued her medical providers for performing a botched mastectomy which left her “nipples literally peeling off of her chest” in July. Mosley alleges that a doctor concluded she was undergoing a “gender identity crisis” after one visit to the emergency room regarding an episode of self-harm, despite multiple comorbidities, such as an eating disorder and depression.
