Eating This Healthy Breakfast for Just Two Days Can Lower Your Cholesterol: Study

A powerful tool for your heart might already be hiding in the back of your pantry.

New research suggests that a short-term diet centered almost exclusively on a cheap, healthy breakfast staple can significantly lower cholesterol levels in just two days. . .

For the study, researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany recruited 32 men and women.

All the participants suffered from metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors including excess body weight, high blood pressure and elevated blood glucose and blood lipid levels. Together, these problems raise the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

The researchers split the participants into two groups, with one instructed to eat oatmeal three times a day for two days. The oats were boiled in water, with the addition of small amounts of fruit or vegetables allowed.

In all, these participants ate about 300 grams of oatmeal per day and consumed roughly half their usual calories. (Read more from “Eating This Healthy Breakfast for Just Two Days Can Lower Your Cholesterol: Study” HERE)

Gavin Newsom Ignored Calls to Help Girl, 5, Left With Half a Skull in Crash Caused by Illegal Alien, Dad Says

The heartbroken father of a 5-year-old girl who suffered life-altering injuries in a multi-vehicle pileup caused by an illegal-immigrant truck driver says Gov. Gavin Newsom has stonewalled the family’s desperate calls for help.

Dalilah Coleman, now 7, was left nonverbal and is relearning how to walk after her family vehicle was srtuck in a 2024 wreck by an 18-wheeler driven by Partap Singh, an illegal immigrant from India.

Singh, who had been given a commercial driver’s license by the state despite his immigration status, was speeding through a construction zone and failed to stop his truck for traffic, leading to the horrifying crash, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“When Dalilah’s accident first happened, I reached out to the governor’s office, via phone as well as email. I received nothing back at all,” Marcus Coleman said on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show.”

Singh entered the country illegally through the southern border in October 2022 but was released by the Biden administration. He was rearrested by ICE in August 2025 to face deportation proceedings.

This Common Condition Could Hide an Early Cancer Warning

. . .A new study suggests a common eye condition could be quietly masking one of the only early warning signs of bladder cancer — the 10th leading cause of cancer deaths in the US.

Researchers found people with the visual impairment were more likely to be diagnosed at later stages, when the disease is harder to treat and survival odds nosedive.

“I’m hopeful that this study raises some awareness, not only for patients with color blindness, but for our colleagues who see these patients,” Dr. Ehsan Rahimy, adjunct clinical associate professor of ophthalmology at Stanford Medicine and senior author of the study, said in a news release. . .

It can be caused by several factors, but it’s most often the result of inherited genetic mutations that affect the retina’s light-sensitive cones. . .

The most common form of color blindness makes it difficult to distinguish between red and green — which past research shows can make it harder to detect blood in the urine. (Read more from “This Common Condition Could Hide an Early Cancer Warning” HERE)

‘Horrifying New Details’: Anti-ICE Agitators Blocked Stairs at Minnesota Christian Church So ‘Parents Were Unable to Get to Their Children’

It was one week ago when anti-ICE rioters stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, to disrupt a peaceful Christian worship service, terrorizing congregants and their children.

Now, what are being called “horrifying new details” are emerging that provide an even more disturbing picture of what actually took place.

Tyler O’Neil, senior editor at the Daily Signal posted on Sunday a series of excerpts from the probable cause affidavit prepared by Timothy Gerber, a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations.

“The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought,” O’Neil began. “Agitators blocked stairs so ‘parents were unable to get to their children’ at Sunday School.

“One told a kid, ‘Do you know your parents are Nazis, they’re going to burn in hell?'”

Police Surrender Entire City Blocks To Lawless Rioters In Minneapolis

Local and state police allowed rioters to block roads and attack a hotel during demonstrations against immigration enforcement.

The Daily Caller News Foundation saw protesters block streets with objects on Saturday and crowd a block outside a hotel on Sunday and vandalize it with little law enforcement response for hours. Federal officials have publicly criticized what they see as a lack of local help in quelling the unrest, which escalated after immigration agents fatally shot two activists accused of impeding their operations on Jan. 7 and Saturday.

The Minnesota State Patrol (MSP) arrested three protesters on Friday at the Whipple Building in Minneapolis for alleged obstruction of legal process, unlawful assembly and public nuisance, an MSP spokesperson told the DCNF. They were released with citations. The agency also arrested one person on a riot charge in the area of 26th Street and Lyndale Avenue on Saturday.

The MSP did not report any other protest-related arrests in comments to the DCNF despite the barricades on Saturday and Sunday and the hotel riot. The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) and Minnesota’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

The DCNF observed the crowd protesting at the hotel for more than two hours while blocking the road with debris. The MSP and DNR was about to “encircle the group for arrests,” but “federal agents arrived without communication and deployed chemical irritants, clearing the group,” the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) said in an X post.

They’re Scattering: Anti-ICE Leftists Consider Fleeing Country After Signal Chat Got Exposed

They got exposed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve gone away or stopped. They’re a roach infestation. These leftists in Minneapolis, causing mayhem for our law enforcement, had their secret Anti-ICE chat on Signal exposed, but new ones have been established, and the older ones nuked from existence.

Still, the chats revealed a coordinated system from which these psychopaths could engage in targeted harassment and assault of federal law enforcement. Reporter Cam Higby dropped this nuke over the weekend, and now they’re scattering. Some said they’re fleeing the country and going to Cuba, which was amusing:

Here are some of the contents from the initial story Higby dropped over the weekend. RedState broke down the mayhem even further, diving into the funding and who was on it. We know that ‘Flan,’ the alleged codename for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, was part of this chat, along with Alex Pretti, the latest leftist shot and killed by immigration officers, which led to the second wave of lefty mayhem in the city. Pretti was carrying a firearm, though he didn’t have his proper ID with him*, at this protest, but things went awry, and he was killed. Again, interfering with federal law enforcement operations will lead to dire consequences for the agitator. The Left claims this was another execution. The bodycams from the Border Patrol agents involved are being analyzed.

Other state Democrats were listed, too, which probably explains why Gov. Tim Walz said he’s open to cooperating with Trump officials on this matter and immigration enforcement. Members of the media, including NPR reporters, are listed in the chat, along with former Walz political operatives:

The Antifa Crossdresser Who Urged Followers to Take Up Arms Against ICE Is Now on the Run

The self-described member of the radical leftist terror organization Kyle Wagner is reportedly on the run after encouraging insurrection and threatening ICE agents.

In a video posted to social media, Wagner claimed that he was “basically on the run” but he had “evacuations planned out.”

Wagner had previously posted videos encouraging his followers to take part in an armed resistance against “Nazi gunmen” federal agents after the fatal self-defense shooting of Alex Pretti.

“I’m talking specifically to my f*****g followers: this is everything that I have f*****g talked about and this exactly what I said was going to happen,” Wagner said in a video posted to social media. “This is exactly what I said was going to f*****g come when we didn’t f*****g go and march on f*****g Whipple with guns.”

“Welcome to America 2026, where the Second Amendment is the only thing that’s going to keep you f*****g protected from literal f*****g Nazi gunmen that are killing innocent people in the street with impunity,” Wagner continued.

Here Are The Republicans Questioning ICE In Minnesota

A growing number of Republican lawmakers are questioning the continued federal law enforcement presence in Minnesota following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

In the days after Pretti’s death, and the release of additional video footage, several Republicans have called for a deeper investigation into the shooting.

Republican House Homeland Security Committee Chairman and New York Rep. Andrew Garbarino formally requested that leaders from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) testify before the committee, renewing calls for oversight and accountability of federal immigration agencies.

Republican Washington Rep. Michael Baumgartner praised Garbarino’s move, writing in post on X that it’s important “the American people and Congress be given a better understanding of how immigration enforcement is being handled.”

House Oversight GOP Chairman James Comer further suggested in an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that President Donald Trump should consider repositioning federal agents if tensions escalate. . .

Other GOP lawmakers including Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis called for independent probes into the shooting, with Cassidy arguing ICE and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) credibility are “at stake.” (Read more from “Here Are The Republicans Questioning ICE In Minnesota” HERE)

Parents Of Man Killed By Border Patrol In Minneapolis Release Statement

The parents of Alex Pretti released a statement late Saturday, hours after Border Patrol agents fatally shot the 37-year-old Minneapolis man the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said was armed and looked about to “massacre law enforcement.”

Michael and Susan Pretti said that their deceased adult son was a “good man” and called on the public to “[p]lease get the truth out about” him in their statement first shared with KARE, a Minneapolis-based NBC affiliate. The Prettis also claimed Alex Pretti was “clearly not holding a gun” when he was “attacked” by “[President Donald] Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] thugs,” and blasted the Trump administration for telling “sickening lies” about him.

“We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA [Veterans Affairs] hospital,” the Pretti statement continues. “Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly.”

Alex Pretti’s parents claimed their son’s “last thought and act was to protect a woman,” explaining that at the time he was shot and killed, he had “his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.”

DHS, in a Saturday afternoon post to X, shared a photograph of a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun it claimed the man later identified as Pretti had on him when he approached federal agents that morning. The agency also claimed Pretti had on him “2 magazines and no ID.”

Trump ‘Amazed’ Gavin Newsom’s Running for President — and Issues Withering Two-Word Putdown

President Trump is stunned that Gov. Gavin Newsom is considering running for the White House, noting how badly the Golden State is being run under the “incompetent” Democrat’s leadership.

“I’m amazed Gavin wants to run for office,” Trump told The California Post Friday in an Oval Office interview after his administration sued California over sanctuary policies, accused the state of fraud and clawed back federal funding. . .

“People love the dream of California, but they hate what’s happening to them,” Trump said.

The state needs “proper leadership,” he said, arguing they are not getting it with their current governor.

“Gavin’s incompetent,” he said. (Read more from “Trump ‘Amazed’ Gavin Newsom’s Running for President — and Issues Withering Two-Word Putdown” HERE)
