Popular ‘Healthy Food’ was Actually Linked to Faster Brain Decline, Surprising Experts

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Several diets have been shown to have brain-boosting effects, from the Mediterranean diet’s gut-brain connection to reduced blood pressure effects from the DASH diet.

But one health food staple surprised researchers by being linked to faster cognitive decline, even despite being part of a popular and well-backed healthy diet.

A hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH eating plans, the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet has been shown to significantly reduce Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.

However, a decade-long study’s findings threw a wrench in the benefits of this nutritional powerhouse by discovering that whole grains unexpectedly were associated with a faster decline in some measures.

Published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, the study used repeated MRI scans of 1,647 adults who recorded all the foods they ate over the years.

Researchers used the responses to score each person’s MIND diet adherence on a scale of 0 to 15, with an average score of 6.8, or someone who eats salads most days but still indulges in fast food.

Trump Admits Ballroom Was Cover For Something Secret Buried Underneath

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump said late Sunday that his new White House ballroom will act as a “shed” for a “massive military complex” being built underneath.

“Now, the military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “But the military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that’s under construction, and we’re doing very well.

“We have all bulletproof glass, we have drone-proof roofs, ceilings,” the president added. “Unfortunately, we’re living in an age when that’s a good thing.”

Before confirming the plans Sunday night, Trump said at a cabinet meeting Thursday that the military “wanted” the ballroom renovations “more than anybody.”

“It was supposed to be secret,” Trump said. “But it became unsecret because of people that are really unpatriotic saying things.” (Read more from “Trump Admits Ballroom Was Cover For Something Secret Buried Underneath” HERE)

‘Inappropriate’ Adult Attire at Disneyland Is ‘Absolutely Sinister,’ Warns Former Biden Staffer

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Biden White House staffer Yemisi Egbewole posted a TikTok video on March 25 criticizing what she described as inappropriate adult clothing at Disneyland, recounting her recent visit to the California theme park and arguing that social norms in child-focused spaces are being eroded.

“There is something absolutely sinister about an adult who actively chooses not to wear appropriate clothing in an environment that is marketed towards children, and we need to talk about it more,” Egbewole said.

@yemisi.egbewole You can cover yourself appropriately in certain environments and still maintain your free expression, identity, blah blah. I reject the notion that asking you to dress for the environment is oppressive.#houstonrodeo #disneyland #adults #weliveinasociety ♬ original sound – Yemisi Egbewole

“Because we have allowed people to do it … not have a say on how people express themselves. But in doing so, we have eroded rules.”

Egbewole framed her remarks around what she described as unwritten societal expectations that govern behavior in family-oriented settings.

“Rules that don’t have to be on a board … but rules that exist in society without having to say so,” she said. (Read more from “‘Inappropriate’ Adult Attire at Disneyland Is ‘Absolutely Sinister,’ Warns Former Biden Staffer” HERE)

Stripper Reveals US Troops Are Blabbing to Her About Being Deployed — and Blowing Operational Security

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A stripper revealed that on TikTok young US troops are apparently leaking news of their deployments to her while blowing their cash at jiggle joints.

San Diego-based dancer Charm Daze — who has 900K followers online — shared an emotional video late Sunday describing a wave of “depressed” servicemen from nearby military bases lamenting a deployment scheduled for next week. . .

Her video quickly spread online, with viewers reacting to the raw glimpse into what some believe could be the human side of troops bracing for deployment amid rising tensions with Iran.

Others saw a problem — that these soldiers were apparently blowing operational security (OPSEC) in an effort to get a pity party with their lap dance.

“PSA: Don’t tell your adult entertainer you’re deploying,” Marine officer and influencer Kagan Dunlap posted on X. (Read more from “Stripper Reveals US Troops Are Blabbing to Her About Being Deployed — and Blowing Operational Security” HERE)

Lisa Murkowski Joins Democrats, Votes for Abortion in VA Facilities

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The U.S. Senate squashed an effort Wednesday by Democratic lawmakers to overturn the Department of Veterans Affairs’ ban on abortions or abortion counseling for VA patients.

In a 50-48 vote, the Senate rejected a proposal by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, to reinstate VA coverage of abortions. . .

The VA finalized a rule Dec. 31 that prohibits the procedure at VA medical centers unless the veteran’s life is at risk. The new policy overturned a policy implemented in September 2022 that allowed the VA to provide the procedure or cover the cost in cases of rape, incest or endangerment of the life or health of the mother. . .

Between September 2022 and August 2025, the VA had covered or provided abortions to roughly 100 veterans and 40 CHAMPVA patients, according to data provided by the VA.

Blumenthal’s proposal would have opened debate on whether to repeal the VA’s ban. The vote fell nearly unanimously along party lines, with 50 Republicans voting no and two Republicans, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, joining 46 Democrats voting yes. (Read more from “Lisa Murkowski Joins Democrats, Votes for Abortion in VA Facilities” HERE)

Trump Reveals His Shocking Nickname for Kimberly Guilfoyle — Newsom Ex Who Was Engaged to His Son

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump stunningly referred to Kimberly Guilfoyle — his son’s ex-fiancée, California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ex-wife and the current US ambassador to Greece — as “Kimber-lay” during a Greek independence day celebration at the White House.

“I love calling her ‘Kimber-lay,’ that’s my little pet name, right?” Trump said as he invited to her to stand alongside him on stage. “But you are the greatest and I heard they love you over there. And I hope you come back here in 12 years or whenever the term ends.

Donald Trump Jr. ended his six-year relationship with Guilfoyle in December 2024 — the same month that the president announced his intention to nominate her for the far-flung diplomatic posting in Athens.

‘White Plague’ Is on the Rise in the US — It’s Deadlier Than COVID and Becoming Antibiotic-Resistant

/5 Comments/in , , /by

One of humanity’s oldest and deadliest killers is staging a modern-day comeback.

The so-called “white plague” reclaimed its title as the world’s deadliest infectious disease in 2023 after being briefly overtaken by COVID-19 during the first three years of the pandemic.

And the US isn’t immune. While the country still has one of the lowest rates globally, cases have been climbing steadily since 2020 — reversing three decades of decline.

Just this week, in fact, the man accused of murdering 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman failed to show up for a detention hearing because he’s being treated for tuberculosis.

Provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that 10,260 tuberculosis cases were reported nationwide in 2025, including a staggering 967 in New York alone.

But the real toll could be even higher. TB symptoms are often mistaken for more common illnesses like the flu or RSV, meaning cases can be missed or treatment delayed. (Read more from “‘White Plague’ Is on the Rise in the US — It’s Deadlier Than COVID and Becoming Antibiotic-Resistant” HERE)

Donald Trump Publicly Blames Pete Hegseth for Starting Iran Conflict

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .The discussion started on local safety issues but quickly turned to the ongoing U.S. military campaign against Iran. Trump began recounting how he had gathered his top officials weeks earlier to talk about Iran’s nuclear program and its history of supporting terror.

He described weighing options like more sanctions or direct action. Then he turned to Hegseth and delivered the line that made headlines. “Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up,”

Trump said. “And you said, ‘Let’s do it.’ Because you can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.” Hegseth stayed quiet as the room absorbed the words. . .

The next day, March 24, Trump doubled down during another event at the Oval Office after swearing in a new official. He said Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen.

Dan Caine were the only two people disappointed that talks with Iran might lead to a quick settlement. “Pete didn’t want it to be settled,” Trump stated. “They were not interested in settlement. They were interested in just winning this thing.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Publicly Blames Pete Hegseth for Starting Iran Conflict” HERE)

Kristi Noem Keeps Her Lover Corey Lewandowski Close by Her Side for First Appearance in New Job After She Was Fired at DHS

Kristi Noem kept her lover Corey Lewandowski close at hand as she made her first appearance in her new job after she was booted from the Department of Homeland Security.

Noem and Lewandowski sat side-by-side across from Guyanese President Irfaan Ali during a meeting in the South American country on Tuesday.

She was all smiles during the meeting, which came just weeks after she was grilled over the supposed affair in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier in March.

Noem dodged questions about the affair as her husband sat behind her at that hearing.

That disastrous hearing resulted in her dismissal as Secretary of Homeland Security. (Read more from “Kristi Noem Keeps Her Lover Corey Lewandowski Close by Her Side for First Appearance in New Job After She Was Fired at DHS” HERE)

Outrage After Transgender Migrant Gets Just 6 Months in New York Jail for Raping Teen

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The light, six-month jail sentence given to a transgender illegal migrant convicted of raping a child is sparking outrage in New York City and beyond.

Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old Colombian national who pleaded guilty to raping a 14-year-old East Harlem boy, is already set to be released for time served before he is even officially sentenced on April 27, according to the New York Post.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office claims that the extremely lenient sentence was agreed upon with the family of the victim and arranged by prosecutors to help the teen avoid having to testify about his abuse in open court.

The District Attorney’s Office also noted that they “expect” that Contreras-Suarez will be arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and then deported immediately upon being released.

Contreras-Suarez was arrested after his victim reported being attacked in a bodega near Thomas Jefferson Park on February 11, 2025. The illegal migrant was arrested the following day.
