RFK Jr. Tells Tucker Carlson Fellow Cabinet Member Has Undergone ‘Incredible Transformation’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson during a Monday interview that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has significantly shifted his foreign policy stance.

Rubio had developed a reputation for being a foreign policy hawk, but as he grew closer to President Donald Trump during the 2024 election cycle, his views evolved to become more aligned with Trump’s America First foreign policy agenda. Kennedy, on “The Tucker Carlson Show,” said he previously disapproved of Rubio because of his hawkishness, but he now believes the secretary of state has similar views to his own, including on Ukraine.

“Marco Rubio is the funniest guy in the cabinet. He says things that make people belly laugh at every cabinet meeting,” Kennedy said. “I never was very — let’s say — approving of Marco, because he was kind of a neocon war hawk. But now he’s had this incredible transformation.”

“I think he’s very aligned with me on most issues, on Ukraine, you know, and just the fact that we should not be the policeman of the world anymore, that we’ve got to, you know, we’ve got to withdraw from that,” he continued.

Trump Gives Illegal Aliens Advise About Escaping From Alligators

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Speaking to reporters ahead of his trip to “eastern Alcatraz” on the South Lawn of the White House Tuesday, President Donald Trump gave some interesting advice to the illegal alien criminals who will be housed there.

“I guess that’s the concept. This is not a nice business. I guess that’s the concept,” Trump said after being asked if inmates trying to escape could get eaten by alligators. “You know, the snakes are fast, but alligators, we’re going to teach them how to run away from an alligator. Okay? If they escape prison, how to run away. Don’t run in a straight line. Look like this. And you know what? Your chances go up about 1%. Not a good thing.”

Deadly Brooklyn Bridge Ship Crash Mystery Deepens as NTSB Reveals Shocking Loss of Control

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Mexican Navy Tall Ship that smashed into the Brooklyn Bridge in May was inexplicably sailing backwards — and picked up speed — before the fatal collision, according to officials.

The preliminary NTSB report released Monday leaves more questions than answers on the crash that killed two crewmembers and left 19 other people injured, including why the docking pilot’s orders to stop the boat didn’t have any effect.

The new facility is a project between the federal government and the state of Florida. Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has been working to prepare the facility for Trump’s arrival.

A tugboat was trying to assist the doomed Cuauhtémoc, which had hundreds of Mexican naval cadets on board, when the crew seemingly lost control of the vessel.

“The upper sections of all three masts of the Cuauhtémoc contacted the underside of the Brooklyn Bridge, one by one,” the report states. (Read more from “Deadly Brooklyn Bridge Ship Crash Mystery Deepens as NTSB Reveals Shocking Loss of Control” HERE)

U.S. Did Not Use Bunker-Buster Bombs on One of Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Top General Tells Lawmakers, Citing Depth of the Target

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By CNN Politics. The US military did not use bunker-buster bombs on one of Iran’s largest nuclear sites last weekend because the site is so deep that the bombs likely would not have been effective, the US’ top general told senators during a briefing on Thursday.

The comment by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, which was described by three people who heard his remarks and a fourth who was briefed on them, is the first known explanation given for why the US military did not use the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb against the Isfahan site in central Iran. US officials believe Isfahan’s underground structures house nearly 60% of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, which Iran would need in order to ever produce a nuclear weapon.

US B2 bombers dropped over a dozen bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s Fordow and Natanz nuclear sites. But Isfahan was only struck by Tomahawk missiles launched from a US submarine.

The classified briefing to lawmakers was conducted by Caine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. A spokesperson for Caine declined to comment, noting that he cannot comment on the chairman’s classified briefing to Congress.

Iran Warns of ‘Real Capabilities’ if Trump Doesn’t Drop ‘Disrespectful’ Tone Toward Supreme Leader

By Fox News. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned President Donald Trump Friday to drop what he called a “disrespectful” tone toward Tehran’s supreme leader or face serious consequences.

In a blunt post on X, Araghchi said if Trump truly wants a deal with Iran, he must show respect instead of insulting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Araghchi wrote that Trump should “put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone” toward Khamenei and “stop hurting [Khamenei’s] millions of heartfelt followers.”

Araghchi wrote, “The complexity and tenacity of Iranians is famously known in our magnificent carpets, woven through countless hours of hard work and patience. But as a people, our basic premise is very simple and straightforward: we know our worth, value our independence, and never allow anyone else to decide our destiny.”

This Common Ailment Is Linked to Esophageal Cancer, Doctor Warns

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Esophageal cancer is relatively rare, making up only 1% of all cancer diagnoses in the US.

However, it is also one of the most deadly cancers — with a five-year survival rate of only 20%.

Gastroenterologist Dr. Wendi LeBrett recently posted a TikTok video warning everyone of a common ailment that could be unknowingly putting you at risk.

“Acid reflux is the most common cause of esophageal cancer, but one in three people who have acid reflux will have no idea they even have this condition,” she says in the clip.

She goes on to explain that 60% to 70% of people who have acid reflux will have “classic symptoms of heartburn” — that gurgling feeling in your chest that often occurs after a big meal. . .

But, chillingly, LeBrett says 30% to 40% of people have acid reflux without experiencing heartburn — and around half of them will either be asymptomatic or have atypical symptoms. (Read more from “This Common Ailment Is Linked to Esophageal Cancer, Doctor Warns” HERE)

Stem Cells From Extracted Wisdom Teeth Are Like ‘Medical Gold,’ Able to Treat Multiple Diseases

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Millions of Americans schedule wisdom‑tooth surgery each year, treating the third molars as little more than biological clutter. However, these grinders hide valuable dental stem cells at their core, and may prove to be critical in the treatment of several serious diseases.

That routine visit to your dentist could soon double as the first step in a personalized medical plan, now that researchers have confirmed the teeth hide stem cells with a knack for rebuilding bone, cartilage, and even nerve tissue.

The research was led by Dr. Gaskon Ibarretxe, an associate professor in the Cell Biology and Histology Department at the University of the Basque Country.

Unlocking hidden cells

Every wisdom tooth shelters a soft core called dental pulp, a vascular pocket that keeps the tooth alive.

Scientists have isolated pulp‑resident cells that behave like immature body builders, able to transform into neurons, heart muscle or bone, once coaxed in the lab. (Read more from “Stem Cells From Extracted Wisdom Teeth Are Like ‘Medical Gold,’ Able to Treat Multiple Diseases” HERE)

2 Firefighters Killed in Ambush While Responding to Wildfire

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two firefighters were killed and a third was fighting for his life Sunday when an alleged shooter, who was apparently found dead, ambushed fire crews responding to a wildfire near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Republican Gov. Brad Little of Idaho responded to the active shooter incident in a statement posted on X Sunday, while the International Association of Firefighters confirmed two firefighters were killed and a third was in surgery in a Sunday night post on X. The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office announced a man was found dead with a firearm and lifted the shelter in place order late Sunday.

“This evening, members of the SWAT team located a deceased male on Canfield Mountain,” the office said in a statement. “A firearm was found nearby.”

“While responding to a fire earlier today in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, IAFF members were ambushed in a heinous act of violence. Two of our brothers were killed by a sniper, and a third brother remains in surgery,” the union posted. “Please keep them, their families, and law enforcement in your prayers.” (Read more from “2 Firefighters Killed in Ambush While Responding to Wildfire” HERE)

Your Nightmares Are Scary — and Putting You in an Early Grave: Study

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Scared to death? You betcha.

Anyone who’s ever had a nightmare knows how much they can absolutely wreck your mood.

That’s because, as neuroscientist Dr. Abidemi Otaiku pointed out: “Our sleeping brains cannot distinguish dreams from reality.”

In even more frightening news, Otaiku and his team analyzed the data of over 183,000 adults aged 26 to 86 and 2,400 children aged 8 to 10 and found that adults who suffer nightmares weekly are over three times more likely to die before hitting 70 than those who don’t.

The researchers pointed out that this would make nightmares a stronger predictor of premature death than a poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle or smoking. . .

“Nightmares often wake us up sweating, gasping for breath and with our hearts pounding — because our fight-or-flight response has been triggered,” Otaiku, a Clinical Research Fellow in the Department of Brain Sciences at Imperial College London, said in a press release.

Massie Warns Trump, AIPAC to Think Twice Before Trying to Take Him Out

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie warned that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and President Donald Trump’s attempts to primary him in the upcoming midterms could backfire in an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller.

“The political calculus that both the president and AIPAC have to consider is, if they go after me and lose, they’ve lost a lot of credibility — both of them,” Massie told the Caller.

The Caller reported exclusively Thursday that AIPAC is fielding primary challengers to take on Massie in the 2026 midterm elections.

“I’m aware that foreign lobbyists have conducted a push poll and are trying to recruit another candidate to run against me, due to my opposition to foreign aid and forever wars,” Massie told the Caller in a statement.

Trump’s political allies are also gearing up to replace Massie, Axios reported, as the president attacked him for his positions on the Israel-Iran war and the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Massie suggested, however, that such efforts might be in vain. (Read more from “Massie Warns Trump, AIPAC to Think Twice Before Trying to Take Him Out” HERE)

‘Direct And Blatant Attack On Our Country’: Trump Announces End To Trade Talks With Major Partner

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump announced Friday he is ending trade talks with Canada over the northern neighbor’s decision to impose a digital service tax on American technology companies.

Trump called Canada’s decision “a direct and blatant attack on our Country” in a Truth Social post.

“They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately,” Trump also wrote.

Canada is reportedly going ahead with the tax despite its inclusion in the Group of Seven (G7) agreement in which President Trump agreed to remove Section 899, also known as the revenge tax proposal, from his “Big Beautiful” tax bill, according to Bloomberg.

The tax will require digital services companies like Meta to pay 3 percent of the digital services revenue they make on Canadian users above 20 million Canadian dollars ($14.6 million) in a calendar year, according to Bloomberg.
