The results were published by Preventive Medicine in an article that stated individuals who exercised regularly were found to have telomeres longer by as many as 140 base pairs—“a difference of about nine years of cellular aging.”

Most Americans oppose giving houses of worship religious exemptions from COVID-19 lockdown regulations, according to a new survey by Pew Research Center. In findings released Friday, Pew found that 79% of respondents said religious institutions should be subject to the same social distancing guidelines as secular businesses and entities. Respondents who identified as evangelical Protestant were more likely to support giving houses of worship more flexibility, nevertheless 62% of them also opposed exemptions. Pew found a partisan divide, with 93% of Democrat and Democrat-leaning respondents opposing exemptions versus 65% of Republican and Republican-leaning respondents agreeing…
Totalitarianism is just what it says it is: total. In a totalitarian state, the government’s power is absolutely unfettered and unlimited: it either controls the means of production or owns them outright. It controls what can be said and what cannot be. It asserts authority over every aspect of the citizen’s life. Most Americans complacently assume that totalitarianism could never come to the United States. But today it is advancing here at a rapid clip […] Just like in the old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, in America today, only one point of view, only one political perspective, can be stated openly and freely in public without consequences […] it is increasingly taken for granted in America that only Leftists may enunciate their views without fear of personal, professional, and/or even physical harm. The implications of that, and the consequences of that, are ominous…
The Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 fell sharply into the close to round out an unusual day of price action. Slipping gold and silver prices, a US Dollar whipsaw and rising yields were some of the other notable developments, all of which took place following an announcement from Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden that California Senator Kamala Harris is his Vice President pick, despite their clashes in prior debates. While the role of the Vice President is typically limited, Wall Street has reservations about some of the policy Harris intends to pursue if elected. Tax cut rollbacks and a new tax levied on financial trading transactions are two of the most prominent proposals that could ruffle feathers on Wall Street. Since some Americans believe, if elected, that Biden will quickly step aside to allow Harris to take the helm, her policies…
The presumptive Democratic candidate to run for the presidency, Joe Biden, announced on Tuesday that Senator Kamala Harris will be his running mate. Their names and the paring of their names has powerful hidden meanings. Harris’s full name is Kamala Devi Harris. The name was given to her by her mother, an intelligent woman with a Ph.D. who worked in breast cancer research. She named her “Kamala Devi” for religious reasons, as both are the names of Hindu gods…
Chera then introduced a group of rabbis he described as “very, very esteemed holy men” to bless the president. Trump approached the podium to wild cheers of, “Four more years.” The rabbis then recited the blessing for the peace and prosperity of the government which begins with a verse from Psalms “To You who give victory to kings, who rescue His servant David from the deadly sword” (Psalms 144:10)…
While the lengthy directive from the Vatican fails to mention God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus or any other tenant of traditional Christianity, it squarely takes on members of the body of Christ and humanity in general as reaping what we have sown by our abusing of all-mighty GAIA with our actions. For example, this excerpt: “The Covid-19 epidemic has much to do with our depredation of the earth and the despoiling of its intrinsic value. It is a symptom of our earth’s malaise and our failure to care; more, a sign of our own spiritual malaise (Laudato Si’, n. 119). Will we be able to remedy the fracture that has separated us from our natural world, too often turning our assertive subjectivities into a menace to creation, a menace to one another? Consider the chain of connections that link the following phenomena: increasing deforestation pushes wild animals in the proximity of human habitat. Viruses hosted by animals, then, are passed on to humans, thus exacerbating the reality of zoonosis, a phenomenon well known to scientists as a vehicle of many diseases. The exaggerated demand for meat in first world countries gives rise to enormous industrial complexes of animal farming and exploitation. It is easy to see how these interactions might ultimately occasion the spread of a virus through international transportation, mass mobility of people, business travelling, tourism, etc…
The trope of “just shut up and wear a mask” is not science, ordered liberty, or constitutional governance. It’s what they do in North Korea. We need real debate on the effectiveness of masks, the type of masks, the situations in which they are worn, the duration of time, the benchmarks that need to be met to measure effectiveness, and the process for promulgating these rules. We are no longer 24 hours into an emergency. We are four months into this virus, and it’s time to function like the representative republic that we are. There are numerous political and scientific questions any thinking person should be asking at this point…
Despite Pentagon statements that it disbanded a once-covert program to investigate unidentified flying objects, the effort remains underway — renamed and tucked inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, where officials continue to study mystifying encounters between military pilots and unidentified aerial vehicles…
Most who acquire health problems from eating toxic food or being exposed to dangerous chemical compounds made those unwise decisions in ignorance. However, just as God showed me the need to wade into fresh water even when I didn’t understand the scientific reason for why it would help my body, abiding in God’s laws teaches us what we need to know when we submit to His will and commit to live in the ways He directs…
