/0 Comments/in , , /by

A homeowner shot a home intruder a second time after the intruder appeared to taunt the owner over the first gunshot wound he sustained, Georgia police said.

Fayette County Sheriff Barry Babb told WAGA-TV that the incident unfolded at a residence on Thursday when the homeowner called police about an intruder. At the same time, the home’s alarm company was alerting the police about an intruder.

Babb says that the homeowner confronted the intruder in the basement and gave him a warning. After that, he fired one gunshot and struck the intruder. . .

Babb said that the suspect started going up the stairs and said to the homeowner, “You’re gonna have to kill me.”

So the homeowner reportedly shot him a second time. (Read more from “Police: Homeowner Shoots Intruder, and He Responds, ‘You’re Gonna Have to Kill Me.’ So Homeowner Shoots Him Again” HERE)

These Jobs Put Workers at a Greater Risk of Dementia: New Research

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .So much for the expression “healthy body, healthy mind”: People who work more physically demanding jobs could be more likely to contract dementia, per a study detailed in the science journal The Lancet.

“Our work also highlights what is called the physical activity paradox – the association of leisure time physical activity with better cognitive outcomes, and how work-related physical activity can lead to worse cognitive outcomes,” said head author, Vegard Skirbekk, a professor of Population and Family Health at Columbia Public Health, per the Sun. . .

They deduced that “consistently working in an occupation with intermediate or high occupational PA was linked to an increased risk of cognitive impairment.” . . .

Demanding jobs were defined as those that “require considerable use of your arms and legs and moving your whole body, such as climbing, lifting, balancing, walking, stooping, and handling of materials.”

These vocations include salespeople — retail and other — nursing assistants, farmers, and livestock producers. (Read more from “These Jobs Put Workers at a Greater Risk of Dementia: New Research” HERE)

Take One Guess Who Joe Biden Is Pleading With to Fight Impeachment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

No sooner had House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced an inquiry into whether Joe Biden should be impeached, based on evidence Congress already has obtained about alleged corruption, than the White House announced it wanted legacy media corporations to fight back against the review of the evidence.

A report from the Daily Mail revealed Biden’s White House plans to send letters to major news organizations including CNN and the Associated Press “demanding they probe the ‘lies’ of the House GOP’s impeachment inquiry.”

The AP, even before the letter officially was dispatched, seemed on board, with its claims that the Republicans have been “aggressively” investigating Biden and have been making claims “without evidence.”

In fact, McCarthy in a letter to House members outlined extensive evidence that already is in hand.

That includes that “President Biden lied to the American people about knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings,” the $20 million in payments “directed to Biden family members,” that the family has generated more than 150 “suspicious activity” reports from banks, the FBI document alleging a $10 million bribe to the Bidens, and the entire Burisma scandal, where Joe Biden, as vice president, ordered the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor looking into corruption at a company that was paying Hunter Biden millions of dollars.

Toxicologists Discover Popular Cleaning Products Can Increase Cancer Risk

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a study published in the journal Chemosphere on September 13, researchers from the United States-based non-profit organization, the Environmental Working Group, analyzed 30 common cleaning products for hazardous volatile organic compounds. In total, 193 unique hazardous chemicals were identified with potential impacts on the respiratory system, development, reproduction and cancer risk.

“This study is a wake-up call for consumers, researchers and regulators to be more aware of the potential risks associated with the numerous chemicals entering our indoor air,” Alexis Temkin, Ph.D., a senior toxicologist at EWG, said in a statement.

The researchers were searching for a specific class of molecules called volatile organic compounds, carbon-based compounds that evaporate easily at room temperature. Not all of these compounds are thought to be harmful to humans, but the ones that are can carry serious risks when inhaled. . .

One study in 2018 found that inhaling household cleaning products could be as damaging as smoking a 20-pack of cigarettes a day in terms of its impacts on women’s lungs. Children’s health may also be at risk, especially during the early stages of development. (Read more from “Toxicologists Discover Popular Cleaning Products Can Increase Cancer Risk” HERE)

House Announces Formal Impeachment Inquiry Against President Biden; Video Shows John Fetterman’s Over-The-Top Reaction to Biden Impeachment Inquiry

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday said House Republicans have “uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct” that will serve as the basis of an impeachment inquiry.

“Today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe,” McCarthy announced in a statement at the Capitol Tuesday. “This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public.”

The speaker said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., will lead the inquiry in coordination with House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo.

McCarthy spoke for only roughly three minutes and did not take questions from reporters. He made no mention of holding a floor vote before opening the impeachment inquiry, despite telling Breitbart earlier this month it would happen “through a vote on the floor of the People’s House and not through a declaration by one person.”

He listed allegations of “abuse of power, obstruction and corruption” made against Biden by several GOP-led committees who have been investigating the president. (Read more from “House Announces Formal Impeachment Inquiry Against President Biden” HERE)

Video Shows John Fetterman’s Over-The-Top Reaction to Biden Impeachment Inquiry

By Daily Caller. Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman had an over-the-top reaction Tuesday to the announcement of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

The senator was walking alongside an aide in a brick building, and someone off-camera asked him about his thoughts on the announcement, video footage posted to Twitter shows.

“Oh my god, really? Oh my god,” Fetterman said, pressing both hands to his face. “You know, oh, it’s devastating.”

Laughter can be heard from those accompanying Fetterman. As he continued to react, a man appeared to lead the senator away from the cameras. “Ooo, don’t do it. Please, don’t do it. Oh no,” Fetterman said, clutching his chest. (Read more from “Video Shows John Fetterman’s Over-The-Top Reaction to Biden Impeachment Inquiry” HERE)

Biden Admin’s Secretive Plan For Illegal Aliens Exposed in Internal Emails

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Border Patrol leadership last month set daily “bookout” targets for its sectors in order to keep escalating numbers of migrants in custody at a “manageable” level — including potentially increasing releases into the U.S. interior — as agents continue to see a rise in numbers at the southern border.

An internal Aug. 8 email from an acting deputy chief to Border Patrol field chiefs and deputies says that sectors are facing an influx that is outpacing the numbers of migrants being either released or transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for removal.

The email, obtained by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office, says daily encounters “[continue] to surpass the daily permanent bookouts and the in-custody numbers continue to rise creating significant risks to agents and detainees.” . . .

Consequently, the agency proposes “daily bookout targets” per sector “to bring in-custody numbers to manageable levels” based on 7-day averages. It then says that, if “consequence pathways” such as expedited removal are not available, then releasing migrants with Notices to Appear (NTA/OR) at a future court date should be used.

“We respectfully request that you urgently use these bookout targets to formalize your daily processing pathway plans, to include transitioning to NTA/OR when consequence pathways are not sufficient.” (Read more from “Biden Admin’s Secretive Plan For Illegal Aliens Exposed in Internal Emails” HERE)

America’s Biggest Trading Partner Is No Longer China but This Country

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Mexico has overtaken China as America’s biggest trading partner as the US looks to import goods closer to home and minimize its reliance on geopolitical rivals, according to Bloomberg.

America’s southern neighbor made up 15% of US imports in July, compared to 14.6% from China, according to data analyzed by the outlet.

The number of Chinese shipments in July were at their lowest level since the start of COVID, dropping by 14.5% in July compared to the same month last year, according to data released by Beijing last month.

The findings also showed that imports fell by 12.4% as the ruling Communist Party struggles to dig out of its post-pandemic funk.

Meanwhile, foreign direct investment (FDI) in Mexico is up more than 40% in the country this year as US companies increasingly shun China, Bloomberg reported. (Read more from “America’s Biggest Trading Partner Is No Longer China but This Country HERE)

America’s Leading Cold Medicine Doesn’t Actually Work, FDA Advisers Say

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Officials with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Tuesday that one of America’s leading cold medicines doesn’t actually work, following a review of the latest research on the subject.

Advisers to the FDA unanimously determined that phenylephrine, a decongestant found in most cold and allergy medicines such as Sudafed PE, Allegra and Dayquil was essentially no better in providing relief than a dummy pill, the Associated Press (AP) reported.

“Modern studies, when well conducted, are not showing any improvement in congestion with phenylephrine,” Dr. Mark Dykewicz, an allergy specialist at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine, told the outlet.

Advisory committee member Susan Blalock added that the evidence is “pretty compelling that this medication is not effective,” adding that she didn’t believe additional data was needed to support the conclusion, according to NBC News.

Scientists Issue Health Warning to Anyone Who Wears a Smartwatch

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .A study by researchers at Florida Atlantic University found that 95% of 20 different smartwatch wristbands tested were contaminated with bacteria capable of causing disease.

By analysing different types of wristband materials, researchers found that rubber and plastic bands had the most bacteria on them, while metal bands like gold and silver were virtually free from bacteria.

‘Plastic and rubber wristbands may provide a more appropriate environment for bacterial growth as porous and static surfaces tend to attract and be colonized by bacteria,’ said biological scientist Nwadiuto Esiobu from Florida Atlantic University.

The researchers believe that the bacteria get onto the wristbands from the skin, sweat, and environment.

They also found that the type of activity the wearer engaged in affected the level of bacteria on the wristband. For example, wristbands from gym goers had the highest levels of staphylococcal bacteria. (Read more from “Scientists Issue Health Warning to Anyone Who Wears a Smartwatch” HERE)

Now Even the Left Recognizes Ukraine’s Counter-Offensive Has Failed. The Deep State Must Prepare for Humiliation

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Time is running out for Ukraine. After 18 months of war, it is no longer a question of if the Western alliance will falter, but when. . .

Now, polls in both Europe and the US show public support for military aid to Kyiv dropping away, with one recent survey indicating that less than 50 per cent of Americans are in favor of additional funding. This at least partially reflects sluggish progress in Ukraine’s counter-offensive, which has seen only limited gains so far.

Western military analysts and the media built expectations that, this summer, Kyiv would repeat its striking victories of last autumn at Kharkiv and Kherson. Now, people are wondering how much bang they are getting for their buck, and whether the significant investment made by their countries will ever achieve anything concrete. . .

There is also growing disquiet about Ukrainian corruption, amplified by those voices who oppose American engagement in Europe for other reasons. . .

Biden will be exerting pressure on Kyiv to come to terms, sooner or later. . . Putin is only likely to play ball – though this is far from certain – provided he can keep the Ukrainian territory he has illegally annexed, and Ukraine’s NATO membership is kept permanently off the table. That would obviously be a disaster for Ukraine, but it would also be a defeat for NATO. . . If anything like this scenario plays out, a humiliated West will need a robust damage-limitation strategy.
