Sudden Death of California Law Student Studying Abroad Linked to Popular Weight Loss Shot

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The sudden death of a California law student, who was found in her London dorm room, has been linked to a popular weight loss drug, an inquest heard.

Josephine Nasr, 19, died of a cardiac arrhythmia in her room at the University of East London in September 2025, an East London Coroner’s Court heard last week, the Daily Mail reported.

The second-year law student studying abroad had been prescribed Tirzepatide by her doctor in California, and an empty vial of the popular weight loss drug was discovered by university staff who found her on Sept. 23, 2025, the outlet reported. . .

The 19-year-old had told her father, George Nasr, her mother Lorin Mansour, and her sister, Anastasia Nasr, that she was feeling nauseous and had been vomiting around 8:30 p.m. that evening, the Mail reported.

Anastasia Nasr, who was concerned her sister was becoming dehydrated from the vomiting, called a private healthcare provider so the college student could get IV fluids, the inquest heard.

But after Josephine Nasr stopped answering, the concerned sibling called the university to do a welfare check — with security staff and a nurse discovering her lying on the bathroom floor.

Researchers Crack Open ‘Garlic-Shaped Bottle’ Hiding Rare Surprise from 2,200 Years Ago

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Researchers in China recently uncovered a very unusual find: a large bottle containing an alcoholic drink buried for more than 2,200 years.

The ancient alcohol was found sealed in a bronze vessel in a Qin tomb at the Shanjiabao cemetery in China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The findings were published in the June issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports.

The tomb dates to the Warring States period (475-221 B.C.), a turbulent era of rival kingdoms before China’s first unification.

The preserved liquid was determined to be an ancient cereal-based alcoholic beverage, a fermented grain drink sometimes loosely described as “beer.”

Unlike other recent discoveries in which archaeologists found only residue from ancient drinks, the bottle contained an impressive 3,740 milliliters, or 3.74 liters, of preserved liquid.

The researchers were surprised when they encountered the liquid, said Ruru Chen, a researcher at Northwest University’s School of Cultural Heritage in Xi’an, China. (Read more from “Researchers Crack Open ‘Garlic-Shaped Bottle’ Hiding Rare Surprise from 2,200 Years Ago” HERE)

Arrests Made In Brutal Farm Torture As South Africans Plan 3,000-Cross White House Vigil

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Three suspects were detained after the brutal torture of a sleeping victim on a farm in South Africa early Saturday morning, as advocates against such farm attacks prepare a vigil to raise awareness in front of the White House in the United States next month.

The men were handed over to South African police after being detained by the private armed security group ECHO-1 Tactical Solutions following a tip detailing the plans of criminals an hour from Pretoria, the group said in a Sunday statement.

Although ECHO-1 said that they allegedly found stolen property with the suspects, they said it was a “challenge” to convince the local police that there had even been a crime.

However, a security member had made a “breakthrough” with one of the suspects, leading them to a farmhouse where they found the victim of torture and a robbery.

“There they found the victim hog-tied on his bed and bleeding profusely,” the statement said. “He was beaten, stabbed and tortured for an hour.”

Elon Musk to Build the Biggest Building in the World — Spanning a Colossal 100M Square Feet

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk is about to build something so big it will make the Pentagon look like a strip mall.

Tesla and SpaceX confirmed Thursday that Terafab, their jointly built semiconductor megafactory, will rise in Grimes County, Texas, just outside Houston, with a first phase price tag of $16.8 billion.

The finished complex is slated to top 100 million square feet, a footprint that would blow past every structure ever built and instantly become the largest building in the world.

Musk, who runs both companies, called the facility “the largest and most valuable building on Earth by far.”

For scale, that beats out the current record holder, China’s New Century Global Center in Chengdu, which tops out around 18.9 million square feet with an indoor beach and ski slope tucked inside.

Terafab would be more than five times that size.

Iran’s Economy Nears Breaking Point, Citizens Reportedly Stealing Basic Groceries to Get By: Expert

/9 Comments/in , , /by

Iranians are reportedly stealing groceries and basic necessities to survive – prompting experts to predict the embattled nation could be approaching an economic breakdown.

The reports come as grocery prices in Iran have skyrocketed since war broke out with the US in February, with bread up 140%, dairy up 116.8% and food and drink prices overall up 113.8%, according to the Statistical Center of Iran.

It’s exactly the kind of on-the-ground crisis that experts suspect could spark a society-crumbling crisis in Iran.

“These are anecdotal, but they align with hard data,” Foundation for Defense of Democracies associate fellow Miad Maleki told Fox News of the theft reports. “Iran is already inside the tipping zone.”

The reports of theft came from local newspaper Jahan-e Sanat, which spoke to grocery store workers who described seeing an uptick in shoplifting at their stores in the last 10 months.

Customers have been increasingly stealing staples like meat, cheese, butter and breads, one worker told the outlet. (Read more from “Iran’s Economy Nears Breaking Point, Citizens Reportedly Stealing Basic Groceries to Get By: Expert” HERE)

Federal Court Sides With Trump Over Media Outlet In 11th Hour Decision

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Thursday granted President Trump’s emergency motion for a stay, temporarily blocking the BBC from accessing his financial records in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the company.

The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust sought the emergency stay after U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett ordered July 27 that the BBC be given access to certain financial records. Without the stay, the trust would have been required to produce tax returns, financial statements and ownership records for about 400 corporate entities by Thursday, according to the order and CNBC.

Trump’s lawyers argued that the BBC’s request was “shockingly broad” and could cause damage if the company had access to confidential information and the order was later overturned, CNBC reported.

The BBC sought access to Trump’s financial records after he claimed a documentary about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol damaged the reputation and value of his brand, properties and businesses, according to the emergency stay order and CNBC.

Trump lodged a more than $5 billion defamation suit against the BBC in December 2025. In the lawsuit, Trump accused the BBC of maliciously misleading its viewers in a 2024 documentary and splicing two separate comments he’d made during a Jan. 6, 2021 speech in a way that appeared to urge his supporters to engage in violence ahead of the certification of the 2020 election results.

Secretive Bohemian Grove Club Gets Special Flight Treatment as CA Community Rages over Noise

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The billionaires and power brokers flying into Bohemian Grove got something Sonoma County residents have been fighting for since last year: peace and quiet.

The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily ditched a controversial flight path during the elite club’s annual retreat, sending many departing planes along an older, quieter route while private jets packed the regional airport, then switched back once the secretive gathering wrapped up.

The move sparked fresh outrage among locals, who say the agency proved it could reduce the relentless aircraft noise over their neighborhoods all along.

Rep. Jared Huffman on Wednesday accused the FAA of giving preferential treatment to Bohemian Grove’s wealthy guests after years of rejecting similar requests from the surrounding community.

“When the Bohemians come to town, they get the response that I’ve spent the better part of two years demanding with my West County constituents,” Huffman told KQED. “But when the private jets go away, we’re not sure what happens. I want to make sure … that the folks I represent get the same consideration as the billionaires and oligarchs who are having a good time in Bohemian Grove.”

The timing is especially striking as an alleged 2023 membership list from the notoriously secretive Bohemian Club has surfaced. (Read more from “Secretive Bohemian Grove Club Gets Special Flight Treatment as CA Community Rages over Noise” HERE)

Sources Close To Admin Weigh In After Trump Reportedly Tips Hand On Potential Successor

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump appears to have indicated who he would like to see succeed him as the face of the GOP and in the White House, according to a new Washington Post report.

During a recent private meeting with donors in the Oval Office, Trump said that “at the end of the day, we need to elect JD,” two people with knowledge of the comments told the Post. For months, Trump has privately and publicly polled allies, friends and staff on who should succeed him: Vance or Rubio.

“JD has all the bona fides of Trump, with a charm and disarming personality that makes it hard to taint him with the brashness and sometimes undesirable qualities of the President. He, like DeSantis, has an ability to evangelize MAGA that moves people toward it, not away from it,” one source close to the administration told the Caller.

“Having the President’s backing is the biggest hurdle, and it’s one that will keep others at bay. The fact that it’s coming so early is great for the party when the other side is lost,” the source added.

The president denied that the report was an endorsement in response to a Daily Caller question in the Oval Office. (Read more from “Sources Close To Admin Weigh In After Trump Reportedly Tips Hand On Potential Successor” HERE)

People who Avoid 3 Key Things Live Nearly 13 Years Longer Without Dementia: Study

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Three simple characteristics in middle age likely play a major role in cognitive health as you get older, a new study suggests.

It found that people who check these three boxes lived about 30 years without dementia — compared to 17 years for people who didn’t.

The researchers found that people who avoided smoking, high blood pressure (a.k.a hypertension) and diabetes had nearly 13 more years without developing dementia than those who did have these three risk factors.

“Our findings argue that people need to actively avert these factors in midlife as a strategy for preserving brain health,” Dr. Josef Coresh, the study’s senior investigator and director at NYU Langone’s Optimal Aging Institute, said. “Discovering new ways to delay dementia is crucial with 42 percent of Americans at risk for developing the condition at any time after age 55.”

While avoiding these elements is associated with more time without cognitive decline, some populations are more at risk than others. (Read more from “People who Avoid 3 Key Things Live Nearly 13 Years Longer Without Dementia: Study” HERE)

Trump Reveals what Stopped ‘Biggest Attack since World War II’ on Iran

/13 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump said Wednesday during an event in Las Vegas that Iran sought negotiations after the U.S. prepared what he described as a massive military strike, arguing that sustained military pressure has brought Tehran back to the bargaining table.

Speaking to supporters, Trump said the U.S. was “set for the biggest attack since World War II” before Iranian officials reached out to request talks. “They called me and they said, ‘Please don’t do it, let’s talk,'” Trump said.

Trump said he would prefer a diplomatic resolution over further military action but reiterated that the administration’s position has not changed. “I’d rather make a deal because I don’t want to kill people,” he said. “But Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”

The comments come as the Trump administration continues negotiations with Iran over reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said Tuesday that “a lot of progress” had been made and suggested a deal could be reached as soon as Wednesday or Thursday.

The administration has repeatedly said any agreement with Tehran must ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon, a position Trump again underscored Wednesday as diplomatic efforts continue. (Read more from “Trump Reveals what Stopped ‘Biggest Attack since World War II’ on Iran” HERE)
