The question is, if Donald Trump gets back in power, what freedom will you lose next? Your body and your decisions belong to you, not the government, not Donald Trump. I will...

An Israeli-funded Super Bowl ad calling for the return of fathers captured by Hamas in their October 7 attack on Israel drew more complaints than any other ad that ran during the championship game, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) documents claim.

Interestingly, as TMZ Sports...

Fiber is essential for the digestive system. It helps maintain a healthy weight and lowers the risk of diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers. Getting the right amount of fiber, whether through food or drinks, is a great way to relieve constipation. In addition to all that, fiber supplements could improve brain function in older adults, according to a new study. The study followed individuals over the age of 60 for a 12-week period. Results found those who took prebiotic fiber supplements showed a "significant improvement in memory." The study evaluated the gut microbiome and its correlation with both cognitive...

The Biden campaign released an ad Monday that features out-of-context remarks by former President Donald Trump about the “bloodbath” that will occur in the American auto industry if President Joe Biden wins reelection. The ad is the Biden campaign’s latest effort to seize America First policy and spin it into an anti-Trump narrative. “The Trump campaign can try to spin all they want, but the context is clear: their candidate has spent every moment since his first campaign encouraging and excusing political violence,” Biden campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika told Politico. “Repeatedly. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature of Donald...

Presidential hopeful and Trump challenger Nikki Haley is reportedly launching a seven-figure national cable and digital ad buy leading up to Super Tuesday, Haley campaign manager Betsy Ankney told reporters ahead of South Carolina’s primary results. While poll after poll shows Haley down by double digits in her home state of South Carolina, she has made it abundantly clear she plans to remain in the race regardless of the results on Saturday. “South Carolina will vote on Saturday, but on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president,” Haley told supporters during a speech in Greenville this week, making it clear...

Infection with the virus that’s the main cause of cold sores may double a person’s risk of developing dementia, according to a new study. Adding to growing evidence of a link between the two, further research is needed to investigate whether anti-herpes treatment reduces the risk and may open the door to developing new vaccines. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common, lifelong infection that’s treatable but not curable. It’s estimated that, globally, around 67% of people under 50 have herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, the main cause of oral herpes or cold sores, and around 13% have...

Maybe this was posted here already but this is absolutely hilarious. Video: Donald Trump has trolled Joe Biden with a spoof ad depicting the White House as a “senior living” establishment where “residents feel like presidents”. The mock TV commercial uploaded on Trump’s Instagram page clipped together awkward shots of the current president at the beach and eating food, ending with him taking a huge bite from an ice cream. The 30-second clip includes a soft-spoken narrator advertising “delightful activities and outings” and “exquisite housemade meals” over clips of Biden. The trolling video also includes a clip that circulated in...

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley showed confidence in her primary challenge to former President Trump on Monday, saying Trump is “getting nervous” about her rising support in early polls, citing a new ad targeting her. “Two days ago, Donald Trump denied our surge in New Hampshire existed.

The ad, released Tuesday, slams Haley for appearing to go back on a 2013...

This Trump ad will make you cry. Tucker Carlson narrates this ad that is making the rounds that we are not even sure if it is recent. In fact, we are not even sure if it is an official Trump ad.

President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign used Veterans Day on Saturday to run a political ad bashing his main 2024 competitor and predecessor former President Donald Trump. “If you don’t respect our troops, you can’t lead them,” Biden’s personal X account posted, along with the ad.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) targets both major parties on foreign policy in a new ad amid rumors he could mount a third-party White House bid. “Our allies question whether they should still trust us, and our enemies question whether they should still fear us,” the former governor says in one clip in the ad, posted by Hogan’s PAC, An America United. The video takes aim at Republicans who want to pull back on funding for Ukraine amid Kyiv’s war with Russia, and knocks progressives who are against U.S. support for Israel after Hamas attacked last month. Hogan is...

Researchers who previously developed the first 3D human cell culture models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that displays two major hallmarks of the condition—the generation of amyloid beta deposits followed by tau tangles—have now used their model to investigate whether the exercise-induced muscle hormone irisin affects amyloid beta pathology. The team has uncovered promising results suggesting that irisin-based therapies might help combat AD. Exercise increases circulating levels of the muscle-derived hormone irisin, which regulates glucose and lipid metabolism in fat tissue and increases energy expenditure by accelerating the browning of white fat tissue. Studies have revealed that irisin is present in...

Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) leadership PAC on Friday released a new ad in Arizona targeting two election deniers who are running for high-profile statewide offices, saying “we cannot give people power who will not honor elections.” “I don’t know that I have ever voted for a Democrat. But if I lived in Arizona, I absolutely would. You have a candidate for governor, Kari Lake, you have a candidate for secretary of State, Mark Finchem, both of whom have said that they will only honor the results of an election if they agree with it,” Cheney can be heard saying in...
