One Type of Sitting may Pose Greater Dementia Risk than Others, Study Suggests

For years, researchers have believed prolonged sitting could raise dementia risk — but new findings suggest the type of sitting may matter more than previously thought.

The research, which was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine in March, found that replacing mentally passive sedentary behavior with mentally active sedentary behavior was associated with a significant reduction in dementia risk.

Mentally active sedentary behaviors could include reading, office work and other activities that keep the brain engaged while sitting, while mentally passive behaviors may include watching television or other low-engagement screen activities.

To gather the findings, Swedish researchers analyzed data from more than 20,000 adults between ages 35 and 64 who were tracked over a 19-year period, between 1997 and 2016, according to a press release.

Participants answered questions about their sitting habits, physical activity and other lifestyle behaviors, while dementia diagnoses were identified using Swedish health and death records.

Mentally active sedentary behavior was associated with “a significant reduction in dementia risk” compared to more passive sitting activities. (Read more from “One Type of Sitting may Pose Greater Dementia Risk than Others, Study Suggests” HERE)

Band Frontman Comes Out Gay After 14 Years Of Marriage. Wife Responds

The frontman for the rock band Beartooth came out as gay on May 23, despite having been married to a woman for 14 years.

Caleb Shomo, the band’s lead singer, wrote in a post on Instagram that he felt “embarrassed” he avoided the truth for so long and “spent a decade burying feelings with alcohol.”

This is something I’ve been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now.”

Gonorrhea and Syphilis Skyrocket in Europe — and this Country has the Highest Spike

Europe is dealing with a full-blown sexual health crisis as cases of gonorrhea and syphilis skyrocket to unprecedented levels, shocking new data show.

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) revealed the continent is in the grips of a dirty STI explosion not seen in over a decade.

Gonorrhea cases across Europe hiked a staggering 303% since 2015, clocking in at 106,331 painful infections, while syphilis cases more than doubled over the same period, topping more than 45,550 cases.

Spain ranks as Europe’s hotspot, racking up 37,169 gonorrhea cases and 11,556 syphilis infections in 2024, according to the BBC.

Meanwhile, congenital syphilis — where the dangerous infection passes directly from pregnant mothers to their newborns — nearly doubled in participating European countries between 2023 and 2024.

Health officials are blaming “widening gaps” in testing and lack of condom use for the nasty surge. (Read more from “Gonorrhea and Syphilis Skyrocket in Europe — and this Country has the Highest Spike” HERE)

Candace Owens And Hunter Biden Team Up To Spread Trump Assassination Attempt Conspiracy

Candace Owens questioned the idea that President Donald Trump survived “four assassination attempts” and discussed Charlie Kirk’s assassination Thursday in an interview with Hunter Biden.

Owens discussed the murder of Kirk, Turning Point USA’s founder and the government’s response with the son of former Democrat President Joe Biden. She questioned the authenticity of Trump having survived “four assassination attempts” after Hunter alleged government corruption and obfuscation in connection with Kirk’s death and the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt against Trump. The pair also covered scandals surrounding Hunter and other political issues. Trump has faced multiple attempts on his life, including at Butler, West Palm Beach and Mar-a-lago, Florida and most recently the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

“We still don’t know what happened to Charlie,” Owens said, claiming there is “zero interest” in investigating the assassination. Referring to the Trump family, FBI Director Kash Patel and others, she said, “To see all of these people have zero interest in the obvious holes in this story, even if ultimately the holes get filled and there’s a picture that makes sense, which I put that at zero percent chance. But just, you know, the fact that they have zero interest and are just accepting the narrative […] I’m just done with politics.”

“That element of gaslighting that’s happening here,” Owens continued. “They’re pretending that the people who are noticing that none of this is making sense are the crazy ones, and everyone else who’s like, ‘Nope, turn the chapter a week later, it’s all solved […] and none of it makes sense but just accept this slop’ — it is the most infuriating thing and it’s fully removed the scales from my eyes.”

“This is sheer evil,” Owens concluded, prompting agreement from Hunter. “Exactly. It is good versus evil,” he told her.

Hunter then voiced his indignation at the public’s reception of Candace’s discussion of the Kirk assassination. “And the criticism of you for asking the questions for someone who was like a brother to you, it’s like, what the [f*ck] are you talking about?”

Ivanka Trump Targeted for Assassination by IRGC Terrorist in Plot to Avenge President Taking out His Mentor: Sources

First Daughter Ivanka Trump was targeted for assassination by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist in a twisted plot to avenge the president taking out his mentor, The Post has learned.

Recently captured Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, made a “pledge” to kill Ivanka and even had a blueprint of her Florida home, sources claimed.

The Iraqi national was allegedly targeting President Donald Trump’s family in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad six years ago.

“After Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,’” Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché in the Iraqi embassy in Washington told The Post.

“We heard that he had a plan of Ivanka’s house in Florida,” Qanbar added. A second source also confirmed Al-Saadi’s plot to kill Ivanka.

Al-Saadi also posted a picture of a map showing the enclave in Florida where Ivanka and husband Jared Kushner have a $24 million home on X, alongside a chilling threat in Arabic which translates to: “I say to the Americans look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you. We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time.” (Read more from “Ivanka Trump Targeted for Assassination by IRGC Terrorist in Plot to Avenge President Taking out His Mentor: Sources” HERE)

‘A World Without America’: U.S., Israel Reportedly Floated Installing Ex-Iranian President as New Leader

In the opening days of the Iran War, the United States and Israel were reportedly considering an unlikely choice as a potential new leader for Iran, according to The New York Times.

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was viewed as a favorable choice to replace the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the NYT reported, citing anonymous U.S. officials. Ahmadinejad was injured when Israeli airstrikes intended to free him from house arrest failed, the outlet reported.

Ahmadinejad has been an ardent anti-U.S. critic, according to public statements that he made in the past.

He called called for “a world without America,” on Oct. 26, 2005, at a conference in Tehran titled The World without Zionism, according to a congressional resolution passed on Jan. 27, 2006.

“As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map,” Ahmadinejad said in reference to statements by Iran’s revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini at the conference, Al Jazeera reported.

US Used over Half its THAAD Interceptors Defending Israel from Iran

The U.S. used more than half of its THAAD anti-missile interceptor inventory defending Israel from Iranian attacks during the war, according to reports.
The Washington Post reported the U.S. also used more than 100 SM-3 and SM-6 interceptors, while Israel used fewer than 100 Arrow interceptors and around 90 David’s Sling interceptors.

Citing an official, the outlet reported that if fighting resumes with Iran, the U.S. would likely need to use even more interceptors because the IDF has sent some missile defense batteries for maintenance.

“Israel is not capable of fighting and winning wars on its own, but nobody actually knows this because they never see the back end,” the official said.

The Pentagon denied there was any issue with sharing resources with Israel, saying, “Ballistic missile interceptors are just one tool in a vast network of systems and capabilities.” (Read more from “US Used over Half its THAAD Interceptors Defending Israel from Iran” HERE)
