- Tucker Carlson’s Lovefest With a White Nationalist Just Blew Up the Christian Right
Earlier this week, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson hosted far-right influencer Nick Fuentes on his livestream show. Carlson had undoubtedly anticipated a blockbuster interview, and Fuentes, the leader of the extremist “groyper” movement, delivered handsomely, offering a buffet of provocative sound bites designed to spread far and wide on social media. He made the case for the importance of Americans “to be pro-white,” sang the praises of brutal Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, and bemoaned the problem of “organized Jewry in America.” But perhaps the most widely shared moments of the discussion had to do with Carlson and Fuentes’ shared distaste for Christian Zionism, the popular evangelical movement that calls Christians to support Israel. The conversation began with Carlson and Fuentes musing about the origins of the neoconservative movement—populated by such notables as William Kristol and Irving Podhoretz—that they blame for interventionist US foreign policy. “It arises from Jewish leftists… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Trump Has Abandoned Global Climate Efforts, so US Groups Are Stepping UpThis story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Despite historic environmental rollbacks under a president who pulled the United States from a key international climate treaty—and recently called global warming “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world”—US civil society groups say they are gearing up to push for bold international climate action at a major UN conference next month. “This is a really important moment to illustrate that Trump does not represent the entirety, or even anywhere near a majority, of us,” said Collin Rees, US program manager at the environmental nonprofit Oil Change International, who will attend the annual UN climate conference, known as Cop30. The negotiations will take place in the Brazilian city of Belém near the Amazon delta. It is expected to convene delegations from nearly every government in the world to discuss the implementation of the 2015 Paris climate… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago
- Sean Duffy’s Holy War at the Transportation Department
Sean Duffy has spent most of his adult life as a professional attention-seeker. He is a former reality TV star, for one, and also a former Fox News host. Tough luck, then, that in the second Trump administration, Duffy got stuck as secretary of the most dreary of federal agencies—transportation. When was the last time that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration went viral? But Duffy has found a way to turn even the most mundane highway procurement matters into an opportunity for pandering to the MAGA base—and getting back on Fox News. His secret sauce? He has been enthusiastically using the agency to spread the Gospel and advance his mission to make America fecund again. “In Trump 2.0,” laments Peter Montgomery, the research director at the nonprofit civil liberties group, People for the American Way, “every place is a place to wage holy war.” Duffy was once… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Jerry Jones’ acting chops lauded by this Oscar-winning actor

An experimental pill could slow memory loss and brain shrinkage in some Alzheimer’s patients, new research suggests.The pill, called ALZ-801 (valiltramiprosate), was shown to be effective in people who have early Alzheimer’s disease and two copies of the APOE4 gene, which increases Alzheimer’s risk by 10 times.Researchers at Alzheon, Inc., a Massachusetts biotech company, conducted a phase 3 trial that included 325 people with early Alzheimer’s — either mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia — all of whom carried the APOE4 gene, according to a press release.HE CARRIES THE ALZHEIMER’S GENE BUT NEVER GOT THE DISEASE — SCIENTISTS WANT TO KNOW WHYThe participants, whose ages ranged from 50 to 80, were randomly given either ALZ-801 pills or a placebo for about 18 months.In the overall group, ALZ-801 showed some slowing of memory and cognitive decline, but the difference wasn’t statistically significant.In just people with the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Jaclyn Prystupa powers precision automation at GIFS at USask
