Trump Claims He Knows Who His VP Is Already

/6 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump confirmed Wednesday night on Fox News that he knows who his vice presidential choice will be for the 2024 elections, however he wouldn’t reveal who it is.

Trump appeared on Fox News’ Iowa town hall to discuss his policies and answer questions from the state’s voters about their concerns. Fox moderator Martha MacCallum asked the former president a follow up question about his pick for his potential cabinet, asking if he knew who would be his vice president pick.

“Let me just ask you a follow up on that about who would be in your cabinet – in your administration. If you are the nominee, which I know you expect to be, who would be in the running for vice president?” MacCallum questioned.

“Well, I can’t tell you that really. I mean, I know who it’s going to be,” Trump teased.

Another Fox moderator Bret Baier jokingly pushed back against the president’s statement asking him to give the crowd a “hint,” to which Trump stated that they would do “another show sometime.” (Read more from “Trump Claims He Knows Who His VP Is Already” HERE)

Unveiling the Risks: Factors Linked to Higher Risk of Young-Onset Dementia, Reveals Study

/4 Comments/in , /by

A comprehensive medical study conducted by researchers from Maastricht University and the University of Exeter has brought to light 15 factors significantly associated with an increased risk of young-onset dementia (YOD), challenging previous notions that genetics alone dictate the condition. The study, published in JAMA Neurology late last month, analyzed data from over 356,052 participants in the U.K. Biobank, revealing critical insights into YOD risk factors.

The research, which focused on individuals aged 30 to 64, addresses a global concern, with an estimated 4 million people in this age group worldwide living with YOD. The identified factors that experts deem to be strongly linked to YOD risk encompass a range of influences:

1. Lower formal education
2. Lower socioeconomic status
3. Carrying 2 apolipoprotein ε4 alleles (the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease)
4. No alcohol use
5. Alcohol use disorder
6. Social isolation
7. Vitamin D deficiency
8. High C-reactive protein levels
9. Lower handgrip strength
10. Hearing impairment
11. Orthostatic hypotension
12. Stroke
13. Diabetes
14. Heart disease
15. Depression

Stevie Hendriks, the lead study author and a postdoctoral researcher in psychiatry and neuropsychology at Maastricht University, emphasized that the findings challenge the prevailing belief that genetics solely determine young-onset dementia. He highlighted the significance of both physical and mental health factors, including the avoidance of chronic stress, loneliness, and depression.

Hendriks stated, “The fact that this is also evident in young-onset dementia came as a surprise to us, and it may offer opportunities to reduce risk in this group too.” The study suggests that lifestyle adjustments, including managing mental health and adopting proactive measures against identified risk factors, could play a pivotal role in reducing the risk of early-onset cognitive decline.

Dr. Richard Isaacson, director of research at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Florida, echoed the study’s implications, emphasizing the potential for individuals to combat early-onset cognitive decline through proactive lifestyle choices. He asserted that the study’s results align closely with clinical experiences, indicating the possibility of mitigating risk through targeted interventions.

Mayorkas Admits ‘Over 85%’ Of Migrants Being Released Into U.S.: Report

/4 Comments/in , /by

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas admitted Monday that over 85% of migrants encountered at the border are being released into the United States, three people who attended a private meeting with the secretary say.

Under President Joe Biden and Mayorkas’ leadership, millions of illegal immigrants have been apprehended or crossed over the U.S. southern border with Mexico. The influx of illegals has overwhelmed not just border cities, but areas across the nation, including deep-blue “sanctuary cities” like New York City.

“Per three Border Patrol sources who were in the room, while meeting privately with agents in Eagle Pass, TX today, DHS Sec. Mayorkas admitted that the current release rate for migrants caught crossing the border illegally is ‘above 85%,’” Bill Melugin reported. “I’m awaiting comment from DHS.”

The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) Union said the claim was true, noting that Brandon Judd, president of NBPC, was in the room when the conversation occurred.

“Your sources are correct,” the NBPC X account posted. “During this meeting, Brandon Judd told Mayorkas that Americans have the right to know the facts about what’s going on at the border. It was at that point Mayorkas admitted that ‘over 85%’ of the people illegally crossing our border are being released.”

Majority of Voters Predict Trump Will Win General Election, Poll Reveals

/1 Comment/in , /by

A recent Economist-YouGov poll sheds light on the prevailing sentiments among registered voters, indicating that a significant majority believe former President Donald Trump would secure victory in the general election if he becomes the GOP nominee. The findings, published on Tuesday, underscore a sense of confidence in Trump’s potential return to the White House.

According to the poll, 56 percent of registered voters anticipate a Trump triumph in the general election, with 30 percent expressing certainty that he “would definitely win” if nominated by the Republican Party. In contrast, only 29 percent believe Trump would lose to a Democratic opponent in a hypothetical match-up, revealing a widespread expectation of a Trump resurgence.

The survey delves into predictions for other potential GOP candidates, highlighting varying degrees of optimism. For instance, only 28 percent of respondents, to varying extents, envision former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) defeating a Democrat nominee, while a plurality of 45 percent predicts her loss. Similarly, a plurality of 43 percent anticipates a Democrat victory against Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), compared to 36 percent who believe he would likely win.

Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy faces skepticism, with just 19 percent believing he would likely or probably outperform a Democrat, while 54 percent express a belief in his likelihood of losing.

When voters were asked to predict the outcome of a face-off between Trump and Biden, 44 percent favored Trump, while 39 percent leaned towards Biden. Notably, voters envision a tighter race between Trump and a generic Democrat than between Trump and Biden directly.

Interestingly, in a hypothetical election between Trump and Biden, both candidates were tied at 43 percent, highlighting the competitiveness of such a match-up. Six percent would support someone else, five percent remain undecided, and three percent would abstain.

Among key demographics, Trump leads Biden among independents, securing 42 percent to Biden’s 33 percent. However, Biden maintains an advantage with black voters (73 percent to 15 percent) and Hispanics (46 percent to 37 percent).

In terms of the Republican primary, Trump continues to dominate with 65 percent support, leaving other potential candidates trailing significantly. Haley secures second place with 12 percent, followed by DeSantis at ten percent, Ramaswamy at five percent, and former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) at one percent.

Judge Rescinds Permission for Trump to Give His Own Closing Argument at His Civil Fraud Trial

/5 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump won’t make his own closing argument in his New York civil business fraud trial after his lawyers objected to the judge’s insistence that the former president would stick to “relevant” matters.

Judge Arthur Engoron rescinded permission on Wednesday, a day ahead of closing arguments in the trial.

The trial could cost Trump hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties and strip him of his ability to do business in New York. His lawyers had signaled last week that he planned to take the extraordinary step of delivering a summation personally, in addition to arguments from his legal team.

‘This Is Insane’: Elon Musk Goes on Tear to Expose Ease of Election Fraud in U.S.

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk has launched a barrage of messages to sound the alarm about the lack of election integrity in America and the “insane” ease by which voter fraud can be committed.

“In the USA, you don’t need government issued ID to vote and you can mail in your ballot,” Musk began Monday night. . .

Musk added: “We should require government ID and in-person voting (unless valid medical/ military/etc excuse), like other countries do or like if you want to buy beer.”

He then said with an accompanying video: “Claiming that people can’t figure out how to get ID is racist and should be condemned in the strongest possible terms.”

Musk also noted: “Literally the same people who said voter ID was racist also demanded that you get a vaccine ID to travel anywhere or work!”

Woman Says ‘Raging’ Stranger Tried to Break Down Her Front Door: ‘Then I Shot. I Fired.’

/1 Comment/in , , , /by

An Arizona woman says that she fired through her front door in order to protect herself and her 16-year-old son when a strange man tried to break it down.

The harrowing incident began over the weekend as Jenele Williams and her son tried to leave their apartment in order to go to the grocery store. Instead, they ran back inside. She said that she saw a man yelling and screaming at the apartment complex.

She says the man turned his attention to her apartment and started trying to break down her door after he saw her.

“I opened my door like a deer caught in headlights. We make eye contact and I was like, oh you’re right here,” she told KSAZ-TV. “To almost knock a door down like that, you have to be really raging.” . . .

“It was going to come down. I saw it bend in, like bend, not break or crack, just bend. That’s when I was announcing already, ‘Hey, I got a gun, I got a gun. Get away from my house.’ Then, I shot. I fired,” she said.

Comedian Torches Hollywood at Golden Globes With ‘Pedophile’ Jab in Wake of Epstein List Reveal

/4 Comments/in , /by

Comedian Jim Gaffigan torched Hollywood during Sunday’s 2024 Golden Globes Awards with a “pedophile” jab in the wake of last week’s headline-grabbing Jeffrey Epstein list disclosures.

Gaffigan was presenting the first-ever Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television award, Decider reported, and amid his deadpan riffing, the comic dropped the following bomb on Tinseltown:

“I can’t even believe I’m in the entertainment industry, I can’t,” Gaffigan said. “You know, it’s so unlikely. I’m from a small town in Indiana. I’m not a pedophile. … I don’t know if that’s a new category here …”

Laughter and even a smattering of applause from the crowd were audible after Gaffigan uttered the “pedophile” part of his joke.

Critics have been demanding the names of politicians and celebrities who may have been connected with an underage sex-trafficking ring operated by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and on Friday a third set of documents totaling about 1,300 pages was released in relation to a 2015 defamation lawsuit against Maxwell by one of Epstein’s victims.

James Comer: White House Deceived Americans About Hunter Biden

/5 Comments/in , /by

The White House reportedly “deceived” the American people about Hunter Biden’s art deals, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said in a Tuesday statement.

White House officials reportedly helped create an agreement under which a professional gallerist would negotiate sales on Hunter’s behalf and keep the details hidden from the first son, people familiar with the agreement told the Washington Post in 2021.

Comer claimed Tuesday that the White House agreement is a “sham,” citing the committee’s transcribed interview with Georges Bergès, the gallerist entrusted with handling Hunter’s art deals.

“The Biden White House appears to have deceived the American people about facilitating an ethics agreement governing the sale of Hunter Biden’s art,” Comer said in a press release. “Hunter Biden’s gallerist never had any communication with the White House about such an agreement to make sure there was any sort of ethics compliance at all, and he provided information to the committee revealing how Hunter Biden’s amateur art career is an ethics nightmare.”

“The vast majority of Hunter Biden’s art has been purchased by Democrat donors, one of whom was appointed by President Biden to a prestigious commission after she purchased Hunter Biden’s art for tens of thousands of dollars shortly after Joe Biden’s inauguration. The White House has a lot of explaining to do about misleading the American people,” Comer continued. (Read more from “James Comer: White House Deceived Americans About Hunter Biden” HERE)
