Interesting study on effect of WW2 sugar rationing: No surprise, but nice to have data. The longer people had spent under rationing, the lower their risk of developing type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure in mid- to later life www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. Far too many people will just shrug this off or find some way to justify it. But Trump is unwell, incoherent, and a danger to us all.

The Regime snatched $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation in 2026, which they plan to use “to invest in agency priorities that are aligned with broader administration initiatives.” In other words, to force a political agenda through by repurposing funds for bullshit like chemtrails.

RFK Jr. thinks that getting measles is no big deal, and points to the low death rate to support this asinine opinion. Besides the fact that these deaths are preventable, he ignores hospitalizations and immune amnesia, which can erase immunity to other pathogens that people have already built up.
