HMM: Scientists Discover âCompletely Differentâ New Risk Factor for Heart Disease. “In addition to the established risk factors for cardiovascular diseaseâsuch as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activityâanother factor must now be considered: clonal hematopoiesis. This condition, caused by acquired mutations in blood stem cells, has already been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular events. However, until now it was uncertain if clonal hematopoiesis was a cause or consequence of cardiovascular disease. Now, a new study published in Nature Medicine and carried out by researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) resolves this critical debate by establishing clonal hematopoiesis as a new risk factor for atherosclerosisâthe formation of lesions in the arterial wall that underlies most cardiovascular disorders.”

JUSTICE STILL NOT SERVED: Teacher Who Won Court Battle after Refusing COVID Vaccine is Barred from School.
The court found the New York City Department of Education (DOE) wrongfully denied Halkiasâ request for a religious exemption from taking the vaccine, deeming the decision âarbitrary and capricious.â
On August 1, the judge ordered Halkias to be reinstated with back pay.
But when she arrived at PS-85 in Long Island City for teacher orientation, she was told that there was ânothingâ for her at the school.
âIâm not a criminal, and yet they are making me feel like Iâm breaking the law,â she said.
The principal reportedly told Halkias that she had received no instructions to reinstate her, and there was no position available for her at the school.
âI went today for work, and I was told that there was nothing for me,â Halkias told the Post on Tuesday.
âThe principal said that she had no directions given to her about my case, there was no position for me, and I couldnât get a time card because Iâm not officially in the system.â
Halkiasâ attorney, James Mermigis, expressed frustration over the DOEâs actions.
He said that there might be financial motives at play, noting that Halkias was earning a substantial salary of $128,000, and was just six months away from reaching full retirement benefits

WHOOPS: Walz, Sen. Tina Smith Use Bakery That Closed During His COVID Crackdown to âOwnâ Vance.
The media made a big deal about Republican VP candidate Sen. JD Vance ordering doughnuts at a Georgia bakery.
Democratic VP candidate Gov. Tim Walz pounced, claiming he can easily order doughnuts.
Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith also pounced with a photo of her and Walz in front of Daubeâs Bakery in Rochester, MN.
Well, Daubeâs Bakery closed its last storefront shop in 2020 during Walzâs draconian COVID policies.

ALLIES: U.S. F-35A Jets Land On A Highway Strip In Finland For The First Time.
On Sept. 4, 2024, two F-35A jets belonging to the 495th Fighter Squadron of the 48th Fighter Wing operated out of a road strip in Finland for the first time. The two Lightning II aircraft took part in Banaa, the yearly dispersed operations drills of the Finnish Air Force.
The landing on Hosio Highway Strip, Ranua, Finland, marked the first time in history a U.S. fighter aircraft operated on a Finnish highway strip. During the exercise U.S. Air Force Airmen expanded on Agile Combat Employment capabilities by learning austere environment aircraft landing and take-off operations and techniques from their Finnish counterparts.
On the very same day, German Eurofighter aircraft also took part in Banaa24, landing for the first time on the Hosio highway strip in Ranua, Laplan.
Finland seemed happy to maintain its postwar neutrality until Vladimir Putin’s third (or fourth, depending on whether you count Moldova) invasion of a neighboring country.
KAMALA HARRIS NOW IN FAVOR OF FORCED BUSING: So Genuine and Authentic! Reporter Points to Hundreds Waiting to Leave Harris Rally in Buses.
JUST IN: Kamala Harris had to bus people in from up to four hours away to get them to her rally in Savannah, Georgia.
One man said he was bussed in from Atlanta which is about a three and a half to four hour drive away from Savannah.

MARK JUDGE: A New Yorker writerâs mesmerizing new memoir fails to learn lessons about drugs, love, and life.
Near the end of her brilliantly written new memoir Health and Safety: A Breakdown, author Emily Witt offers this observation: âI knew people close to meâespecially those who had not understood this season of my life from the outsetâcould look for a cause for what had happened to me and find it in the drugs that I used. It would be almost formulaic to say that 2020 was a comeuppance and that my having ended up childless and alone in my forties was an outcome I had engineered in pursuing a messy life. Our behavior had been antisocial, and look how it had ended.â
This seems to be an epiphany. But then Witt retreats: âOn a bad day I could almost convince myself to frame my story this way, too. Almost, but not for very long.â
Thatâs a shame because accepting the truth would probably give Witt some serenity. She deserves it.
Health and Safety is the story of a dazzlingly bright person who made a wrong turn, got into drugs, and suffered for it. Just admitting that could bring her peace.
I’m reasonably certain that as awful as the year was, the horrors of 2020 weren’t engineered simply to be a “comeuppance” for the bad life choices made by a New Yorker writer — and I’m pretty sure Rick Blaine would agree.

JAMES, IT’S AN ELECTION YEAR, YOU DON’T NEED TO NUDGE THE DNC-MSM ALL THAT MUCH: James Carville Suggests Fact-Checkers Abandon âImpartialâ Reporting âTo Help Save Constitutionâ From âRepublicans.â
Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday suggested that fact-checkers should focus their reporting on âRepublicansâ to assist in rescuing the U.S. Constitution.
In a June episode of his âPolitics War Roomâ podcast, Carville advocated for media outlets to increase their âslantedâ coverage of former President Donald Trump to prevent his reelection, claiming âthe entire Constitution is in peril.â Carville reiterated this stance during a Thursday episode, shifting his focus to fact-checkers and expanding his advocacy to include Republicans generally, rather than just Trump.
An internal memo written by ABCNEWS Political Director Mark Halperin admonishes ABC staff: During coverage of Democrat Kerry and Republican Bush not to âreflexively and artificially hold both sides âequallyâ accountable.â
The controversial internal memo obtained by DRUDGE, captures Halperin stating how âKerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win.â
But Halperin claims that Bush is hoping to âwin the election by destroying Senator Kerry at least partly through distortions.â
âThe current Bush attacks on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way that goes beyond what Kerry has done,â Halperin writes.
Halperinâs claim that ABCNEWS will not âreflexively and artificially hold both sides âequallyâ accountableâ set off sparks in St. Louis where media players gathered to cover the second presidential debate.
Halperin states the responsibilities of the ABCNEWS staff have âbecome quite grave.â
In August, Halperin declared online: âThis is now John Kerryâs contest to lose.â
In 2004, that year’s boogieman was dubbed “Bushitler.” Last month, he was rehabilitated, given a new suit, and freed from the bunker by The Hill, which was thrilled to report that his aides were endorsing Kamala Harris.
