Taxpayer funds are reportedly driving the recent job boom in New York City through a 2015 policy change that loosened eligibility Medicaid benefit rules. The
revelation suggests that New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ acclaimed credit for creating 300,000 jobs since the pandemic actually results from taxpayers’ subsidy due to a policy change. Almost nearly all the job increases were created in publicly funded home health care, city documents show Manufacturing, construction, and retail sunk below levels in 2020 The rules permit people “eligible for home healthcare services to hire family members or close friends to care for them and...

Former and potentially future President Donald Trump was found "guilty" last Thursday on 34 felony counts in a hush money "trial." It's
not just Trump they're going after, though with a weaponized and politicized justice system. As we've been covering, President Joe Biden's Department of Justice (DOJ) has been quite eager to prosecute prayerful pro-life activists using the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, including an elderly grandfather. Since then, more grandparents have been sentenced, including grandmothers in poor health. Late last month, 59-year-old Heather Idoni was sentenced to 24 years in prison. She's already been incarcerated for...

Study shows orange peel extract may improve heart health

Medical Xpress / University of Florida / Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry ^
| May 28, 2024 | Brad Buck / Hana Lee et al,
Orange peels may hold a key to better cardiovascular health, new research shows. Recent
research has shown that some gut bacteria help develop cardiovascular disease. When they feed on certain nutrients during digestion, gut bacteria produce trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). Levels of TMAO can help predict future cardiovascular disease, according to researchers at the Cleveland Clinic. Yu Wang and her team investigated the potential of orange peel extracts—rich in beneficial phytochemicals—to reduce TMAO and trimethylamine (TMA) production. Scientists tested two types of extracts: a polar fraction and a non-polar fraction. To get the polar fractions, scientists used polar and non-polar solvents...

Daily Signal ^
| May 28, 2024 | S.A. McCarthy
A federal court is declaring that employers must cover gender-transition surgeries for their employees in their health insurance plans. The
U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled last week that a refusal by an employer to cover gender-transition surgeries in an employee’s health insurance violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which “prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.” In the court’s majority opinion, Clinton-appointed Judge Charles R. Wilson wrote, “Generally, discrimination in the Title VII context occurs when an employer intentionally treats an employee worse than other similarly situated...

Biden has given clear signs that he intends to sacrifice U.S. sovereignty -- and an independent health system -- to the World Health Organization. On Monday, May 27 (our Memorial Day), the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly (WHA) will meet and begin the process of approving the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Treaty
and the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR). Many objections to these proposals have been raised to date, and powerfully-worded letters have been signed urging Biden not to sign the globalist power grab. But a not-much-talked-about document has been released by the White House that may indicate...

Google’s AI-generated search results are already being slammed as a “disaster” that “can no longer be trusted” — with critics citing bizarre responses that have included advising adding glue to pizza sauce and touting the health benefits of tobacco for kids. In
a controversial feature that critics say poses dire threats to traditional media outlets, Google’s chatbot auto-generates summaries for complex user queries while effectively demoting links to other websites. Dubbed “AI Overviews,” the feature rolled out to all US users beginning last week and is expected to reach more than 1 billion users by the end of the year...

We should all celebrate strides in healthcareIn the aftermath of a major policy change that moves a system toward inclusion, it's important to show that the sky doesn't fall. For
example, as a combat veteran in the U.S. Navy who deployed to Afghanistan, among other places, I have seen firsthand how expanding open service to LGBTQ+ people has significantly strengthened our military and received vocal, sustained support from a bipartisan array of leaders.

Exercise prompts muscles to release molecular cargo that boosts brain cell function and connection, but the process is not well understood. New
research has found that the nerves that tell muscles to move also prompt them to release more of the brain-boosting factors. "The molecules released from the muscle go into the bloodstream and then to the brain." said Hyunjoon Kong. "As we get older, we lose these neurons from the muscle," he said. The researchers compared two muscle tissue models—one with neuron innervation and one without. They found that the innervated muscle produced more molecules that promote brain neuron...

With the new Amy Winehouse biopic “Back to Black” in U.S. theaters as of May 17, 2024, the late singer’s relationship with alcohol and drugs is under scrutiny again. In
July 2011, Winehouse was found dead in her flat in north London from “death by misadventure” at the age of 27. That’s the official British term used for accidental death caused by a voluntary risk.Her blood alcohol concentration was 0.416%, more than five times the legal intoxication limit in the U.S. – leading her cause of death to be later adjusted to include “alcohol toxicity” following a second coroner’s inquest....
