Publisher demands $500 from impersonated author to retract paper Last year, we wrote about a Walsh Medical Media journal that refused to withdraw an author’s paper unless he paid a fee — even though he didn’t write or submit the article. For one reader, some det…

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

Screenshot of an article dated March 3, 2026 titled “‘Mini hearts’ show COVID-19 virus directly infects heart tissue” by the Centenary Institute. Below the headline are four labeled microscope images (A–D) showing laboratory-grown heart tissue (“mini hearts”). The images use fluorescent colors—green, yellow, red, and white—to highlight cells and viral infection patterns, illustrating how SARS-CoV-2 can infect and spread through heart muscle cells in the tissue samples.

COVID-19 can directly infect heart tissue.

Researchers at the Centenary Institute and UTS created a human heart cell model showing SARS-CoV-2 can directly infect heart tissue, helping explain why some people develop serious heart complications during and after COVID-19 infection.

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: so Trump can bring about "Armageddon." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been
"inundated" with complaints since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran over the weekend, receiving more than 110 complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East.
Journalist Jonathan Larsen broke the story, sharing specific complaints made by troops. One such complaint made by a noncommissioned officer reported that their commander had
"urged us to tell our troops that this was 'all part of God's divine plan' and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ."
"He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," the NCO continued. "He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy."
MRFF told Larsen that over 110 complaints came

The US is now wasting $4 million Patriot missiles on $20,000 Iranian drones.
"Stupid is as stupid does."
If the US had a professional president, he would ask Ukraine for technical assistance with cheap drone interceptors, but the US has Trump who instead insults Zelensky.

Europe must not assist the US in its war against Iran:
1. Europe must focus on helping Ukraine defeat Russia.
2. Trump has abandoned Ukraine & gone over to Russia.
3. The Israeli-US war against Iran is a war of choice.
4. Rubio: Israel compelled the US to join. /1

1. Trump instantly stopped ALL US financial & military aid to Ukraine in January 2025.
2. Trump has had the US vote twice with Russia & a dozen other rogue states in the UN against condemning Russia's war in Ukraine.
3. Trump wants Ukraine to give up land to Russia.
Trump for RU.

🧵The US Consulate in Dubai has been hit by an Iranian drone. The Trump administration was led into this war by Israel, the UAE, & Saudi Arabia, & they did NO non-military planning.

War is an unpredictable, awful business- but you enhance the odds of horror without planning & deliberation.

The problem is that language involves nuances and context - two things that AI absolutely sucks at understanding.

Absolutely
The AI implementation into language learning apps has been disasterous in my experience. It's just wrong a lot of the time or doesn't give a correction or answer that has anything to do with the original text. AI voices are also super weird.

The US military has boarded another Venezuela-linked tanker after tracking the ship from the Caribbean Sea, as part of an oil quarantine meant to squeeze Caracas.

Canadian ICC judge says Trump’s sanctions won’t stop her from doing her job When Kimberly Prost goes on vacation, she needs to phone hotels in advance to explain that she can’t pay for a room with a credit card — because she’s been sanctioned by the Trump administration.

International Criminal Court judge Prost has been sanctioned by Trump, who targeted the ICC with sanctions last Feb, claiming cases before the court involving Americans have sought to undermine U.S. national security.

Guess they don't bend over like Roberts.
