It saddens me to see older women diagnosed with “osteopenia” or “osteoporosis” listening to their doctors and taking supplemental calcium and even problematic drugs called bisphosphonates.  These are irrational, dogmatic, harmful approaches to the problem of degrading bone as we age.  

“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.“~Proverbs 17:22   Continue reading “Osteoporosis is scurvy of the bone, not calcium deficiency”

From Burnsville to Crystal, many cities in the metro area no longer require residents to obtain pet licenses, calling the practice out-of-touch in an age when rabid dogs rarely roam and people have other ways to find their missing pets.

“What I’ve seen is some cities finding it is more of a headache … than it is a benefit,” said Graham Brayshaw, head veterinarian for the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley.  Continue reading “No license, no problem: More cities eliminating pet licenses”

MSNBC broadcast a graphic showing that Democrat Andrew Gillum won the race for Florida governor, claiming it was “inadvertent.”

The graphic, aired during “All In,” with openly liberal host Chris Hayes, shows Gillum receiving about 45,000 more votes.

“Quick clarification here. Just want to say, earlier this hour, uh, we showed a graphic of the Florida gubernatorial race. May have caught your eye because our system had inadvertently populated some test numbers,” Hayes said, reported Deadline.  Continue reading “MSNBC Broadcasts Florida Governor Race Results One Day Early”

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Solicitor General Noel Francisco petitioned the Supreme Court on Monday to immediately review the legality of the Trump administration’s ending the DACA amnesty program, bypassing the Ninth Circuit appeals court and ending the six-year legal saga by next summer.

Former Secretary Janet Napolitano created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) for more than 400,000 illegal aliens in 2012, which the Obama administration in 2014 expanded to a larger amnesty, DAPA, covering over one million additional illegal aliens.   Continue reading “Justice Department Asks Supreme Court to Decide DACA Now”

An Israeli cabinet minister has warned that if the Syrians use their recently supplied advanced Russian air defense missiles to bring down Israeli planes over Israeli territory, the launchers would be targeted — even if that means endangering Russian military specialists at the launch sites.

Environmental Protection Minister Ze’ev Elkin, who is also co-chair of the Russia-Israel Intergovernmental Commission, told Russian media Monday that it was a “big mistake” for Moscow to supply its ally Syria with the S-300 missile system, because the advanced missiles, which are considered a significant threat to Israeli air power in the area, “might lead to destabilization of the situation.”   Continue reading “Minister: Israel might destroy Syrian S-300s, even if manned by Russians”

Chino, CA — In a testament to the neglect and abuse suffered by inmates at the hands of police, a woman in Chino, California—in dire need of medical attention for a mental health problem—was ignored until she literally ripped out her own eyeball and swallowed it.

Every 15 minutes, for four hours straight, the woman had screaming fits which were ignored repeatedly. This neglect by jail staff was in spite of the fact that the woman was admitted and known to be ‘psychotic.’   Continue reading “Jail Guards Stand Idly By as Mentally Ill Woman Gouges Out Her Own Eye and SWALLOWS It”

Linn County’s commissioners on Tuesday approved accepting a $284,513 Emergency Management Homeland Security Grant to purchase an armored personnel vehicle.

In a written request to the commissioners, Sheriff Jim Yon noted, “Our world has changed in the last 10 years. A fire truck was attacked last week in Springfield. They took shotgun rounds to the cab while responding to an emergency call. We need to have equipment like this to protect ourselves and the public from that type of evil.”

Back in the summer of 2017, to much fanfare President Donald Trump announced that Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn, best known for making the iPhone, would build a new plant producing LCD panels in Wisconsin that will bring thousands of jobs to the state.

On the surface it was great deal: in what’s being called the “largest economic development project in state history”, Foxconn said it would build a $10 billion plant that will eventually employ as many as 13,000 people, according to the White House and Gov. Scott Walker. To be sure, it was a quid pro quo: to help lure the manufacturer, the state pledged $3 billion in tax and other “performance-based” incentives and local authorities added $764 million. Foxconn must meet hiring, wage and investment targets by various dates to receive most of those benefits.   Continue reading “Foxconn May Bring Chinese Workers To Its New Wisconsin Facility”
