A new study published in the BMJ’s Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health has confirmed Fluoride’s negative effect on the thyroid gland and a possible connection to depression, weight gain, and other negative health effects.

Researchers with the University of Kent in England examined thyroid activity for those in areas with fluoridated water and those without. The team examined 95 percent of the English population in 2012 and 2013 and found high rates of underactive thyroid were 30% more likely in areas with high fluoride concentration. An underactive thyroid can lead to depression, weight gain, fatigue and aching muscles.   Continue reading “New Study Confirms Negative Impact of Fluoride On Thyroid Gland”

Rudy Giuliani is being roundly criticized for several recent statements he has made about President Barack Obama, including the claim that Obama in his youth was influenced by a literal communist. I cannot address all of Giuliani’s remarks, but I can certainly speak to the influence of the communist he referred to. In short, Rudy was correct; and he even had Obama’s exact age (nine) right when he was first introduced to this person.

“From the time he was 9 years old, he was influenced by Frank Marshall Davis, who was a communist,” Giuliani said.   Continue reading “Exposed: This Guy From Obama’s Past Could Destroy Barack and Prove Giuliani Was Right”

Suicide may be linked to air pollution, according to new research that finds spikes in completed suicides in the days following peak pollution levels.

Concerningly, this finding by scientists in the USA has been duplicated by other studies which have been conducted in South Korea, Taiwan, and Canada. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. This statistic is higher in those states which regularly produce higher amounts of air pollution near populated areas.   Continue reading “Scientists: Air Pollution So Bad It’s ‘Linked to Suicide’”

Rising Tide car wash in Florida has found a way to provide excellent service while helping people with autism find employment. With 43 employees, 35 of whom are on the autism spectrum, the car wash is making a real difference to people who usually struggle to find meaning in their lives.

CEO John D’Eri wanted to find a way to help his son Andrew, 24, who was diagnosed with the condition at three years old. John worried that after he passed on, Andrew would be sitting around in a room being cared for by a stranger. “I want him to have a job. I want him to have friends that are like him,” John says. He explains that the business not only helps Andrew and other people with autism, but it provides welcome respite for Andrew’s mom, who has cared for her son his whole life.   Continue reading “At First It Looks Like An Ordinary Car Wash, But It’s Far More Special Than That!”

WARSAW: The Polish armed forces received 45 MRAP-type (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) armored vehicles previously used in Afghanistan from the United States, reported the Polish Press Agency on Wednesday.

“Today’s delivery is only a small segment of our partnership,” said U.S. Ambassador to Poland, Stephen Mull, noting the United States’ unflagging engagement in the security of Poland.

Polish soldiers have been in cooperation with the U.S. army for a long time, Maciej Jankowski, Poland’s Under-Secretary of State said, citing his country’s participation in the Iraq and Afghanistan missions. Nowadays, the cooperation is mostly based on technical assistance and support, Jankowski noted.   Continue reading “U.S. Delivers 45 Armored Vehicles To Poland”

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives were meeting on Thursday to discuss a three-week extension of funding that would avert a partial shutdown of the domestic security agency, a senior House Republican aide said.

Lawmakers face a midnight deadline on Friday to pass a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, which spearheads domestic counterterrorism operations, and a temporary extension of funding would give them more time to resolve their differences.   Continue reading “House Republicans discuss plan to extend Homeland Security funding by three weeks”

Last year, students from the University of Massachusetts were celebrating their annual pre-St. Patrick’s day holiday known as “Blarney Blowout.” As you might expect, when thousands of kids gather to get drunk before spring break and St. Patricks’s day, they can get pretty rowdy. What most people didn’t expect at the time, was that the police would respond with a cadre of riot cops to disperse the crowd.   Continue reading “Watch This Cop Try to Destroy Video Evidence of Police Brutality”

JPMorgan Chase plans to close 300 bank branches over the next two years, about 5 percent of the total, as more customers move online and the bank seeks to cut costs.

The closures are part of a $1.4 billion cost-cutting plan the bank announced for this year. The latest developments were revealed during the bank’s annual investor day conference Tuesday.

Online and mobile banking have become increasingly popular and that trend is expected to continue. The shift online has begun to make brick-and-mortar branches less necessary and, frankly, expensive.   Continue reading “JPMorgan to close 5% of its bank branches”

In a 3-2 vote today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to radically overhaul the way Internet service is regulated. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and the commission’s two Democratic commissioners voted to move forward with the rules. The agency’s two GOP-appointed commissioners opposed them.

Under the new rules, broadband providers, long classified by the agency as Title I information services, will now be regulated as Title II telecommunications services—essentially making them public utilities, like the phone system. The move is designed to allow the FCC to implement strict net neutrality rules limiting how much control Internet service providers (ISPs) can exert over what passes over their networks.   Continue reading “The FCC Just Voted to Regulate the Internet Like a Utility”

Food additives that are commonly used to thicken and stabilize processed foods may disrupt the bacterial makeup of the gut, causing health problems, a new study in animals suggests.

In the study, mice that were fed two chemicals that are commonly added to foods gained weight, had altered blood sugar and developed intestinal problems. The chemicals were “emulsifying agents,” chemicals that hold together mixtures that include both fat and water, which would otherwise separate.   Continue reading “Food Additives Linked to Weight Gain, Inflammation”
