(Natural News) Influenza vaccines can boost immunity, but this improvement is only short-lived. American researchers recently found that immunization increases the levels of antibodies against the seasonal flu-causing virus only for a few months, after which these levels plateau due to the loss of bone marrow plasma cells (BMPC). BMPC are the cells responsible for producing influenza-specific antibodies after vaccination. How flu vaccines are supposed to work The goal of vaccination is to provide long-lasting immunity against a specific infection. A vaccine is made from a small amount of a weakened pathogen, such as a virus or a bacterium, which is then introduced into […]

Community defense is about organizing for long term security, not just immediate crisis. Three months ago, protests in Minneapolis gave way to a national uprising. Ushering in a new focus on racial justice, the uprisings have challenged the way people relate to one another and how some talk about community safety. Coupled with the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, the uprisings have forced people to rethink how to protect their communities through strengthening their bonds with one another. Mutual aid […]

That’s illegal – each person can only vote once. Maybe it’s best not to take political advice from infamous Chicago gangster Al Capone! On Wednesday, during a campaign trail speech in Wilmington, North Carolina, Trump told his supporters to try and vote twice in the November presidential election, suggesting they go to the polls even after voting by mail to “make sure […]
The United States Ambassador to Egypt, Jonathan Cohen, has reiterated his country’s support for Egypt in its war against terrorism, describing Egypt as an important partner. Earlier, the US ambassador said that Egypt does not only represent the Middle East, but is also linked to the whole of Africa, adding that Washington opposes all kinds of foreign interference in Libya. Egypt has been fighting militants who it says have killed hundreds of police and soldiers in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula since 2013. Militants have also carried out attacks elsewhere in the country. The UN has expressed alarm at increasing practices […]
A Black Lives Matter protester, yelling through a megaphone, informed a group of police officers that they are “criminals” and “murderers” during Wednesday night’s protests in the nation’s capital, while another assessed that cops “need to start being killed like y’all kill us.” “You’re childish as fuck. Just so you know, he’s not qualified to stop no crime,” a female protester said through a megaphone as she walked up and down a line of police officers following a fatal police-involved shooting of 18-year-old Deon Kay, who brandished a weapon during a pursuit that afternoon, bodycam footage of the incident shows. “Get the […]
Authored by Richard Hanania via RealClearDefense.com, It’s our own national security bureaucracy… This month, U.S. intelligence reported that Russia wants Donald Trump to win reelection, while China and Iran seek to help Joe Biden. Both sides of the political aisle have cited the report, claiming that one adversary or another would be happy if the other party takes power in January. It shouldn’t surprise us that foreign countries have preferences about American electoral outcomes. Why wouldn’t they, given U.S. influence in the world? According to political scientist Lindsey O’Rourke, during the Cold War, the United States engaged in 64 attempts at covert regime […]

President Trump called American soldiers who died on French soil during World War I “losers” during a trip to France in 2018, according to multiple sources cited by The Atlantic. The comments, reportedly made ahead of a planned visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery that was ultimately canceled and blamed on bad weather, were apparently part of a pattern of the Commander in Chief badmouthing slain service members. In a separate conversation around the same time, Trump referred to fallen World War I marines at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed. The site of a consequential battle in U.S history, […]

Submitted by Adam Andrzejewski, originally published in Forbes, The San Francisco Bay Area is home to wonders of the modern world like the Golden Gate Bridge and Silicon Valley — as well as powerful progressive politicians like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Governor Gavin Newsom, and U.S. Senator (and vice-presidential hopeful) Kamala Harris. But the city is in trouble. Whenever we open the books, San Francisco consistently ranks among the worst tax-and-spend offenders. In fact, the city’s $1.5 billion budget deficit isn’t stopping 18,759 highly compensated employees from each bringing home pay packages worth $150,000 (or more) annually.

…from SouthFront.org The Israeli Air Force conducted a second round of missiles strikes on Syria in less than a week. Late on September 2, Israeli warplanes launched missiles at the T4 airport in the province of Homs. According to Syria’s state media, the strikes were conducted from the direction of the US-controlled zone of al-Tanf on the Syrian-Iraqi border. Syrian pro-government sources claimed that a large part of the missiles was intercepted. The impact of the strikes remains unclear. The T4 airport is well known as the operational base of Iranian-backed forces and as a logistical hub for Iranian supplies moving […]
Investors dumped technology shares and drove all US stock market indices sharply down after a previous day’s high note. Oil and gold also dropped, as analysts struggled to explain the cause behind the sell-off.

(Natural News) New evidence has emerged to show that the “violent instigators” who swarmed Kenosha, Wisc., in the aftermath of the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake were coordinated and brought there from out of state. Attorney General William Barr announced on Tuesday that federal agents had obtained information proving that the riots and looting were anything but organic, having been planned in advance by outsiders for such a time as this. Barr toured Kenosha along with President Donald Trump in the aftermath of the worst of the riots, witnessing destroyed buildings and other destruction that supposedly occurred as part of an […]

A recent study by researchers in Brazil found that people with antisocial traits like low levels of empathy and higher levels of callousness, deceitfulness and risk-taking are less likely to comply with COVID-19 prevention measures, such as mask-wearing and social distancing. The study, conducted by researchers at the State University of Londrina, polled 1,578 Brazilian adults between the ages of 18 and 73. The study participants answered questionnaires about their compliance with COVID-19 containment measures as well as personality traits such as empathy and willingness to take risks. “Our findings indicated that antisocial traits, especially lower levels of empathy and higher […]
Israel will impose a partial national lockdown next week to battle a coronavirus infection surge, the head of its pandemic task force said on Thursday, shouting his exasperation in an emotional television address, reported Reuters. The health official, Ronni Gamzu, said Israel was facing a “pivotal moment” in trying to contain the spread of COVID-19, with some 3,000 new cases now reported daily in a population of nine million. He put much of the blame on what he called apathy among the Arab minority to social distancing rules and high infection rates in close-knit ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities.

KENOSHA, Wisconsin—The first time Joe Biden was scheduled to arrive in Wisconsin was two weeks ago to celebrate his ascent to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket. Instead, when he stepped off a plane on Thursday, he and his wife, Jill, encountered a family in mourning and a city hurting from the physical and emotional toll of systematic racism. The bleak circumstances gave Biden a forum to show how he would attempt to mend the nation struggling with cycles of crisis and demonstrate just how different he is from President Donald Trump, who was in the same location just two […]

WASHINGTON –The White House is asking Congress to keep budget chaos from upending the Navy’s plans to begin detailed design and construction work on two Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines, according to a document obtained by Defense News. Barring Congressional intervention, the Navy would not have the money or authorization to begin work on the boats the Navy announced in June as part of a planned $10.4 billion contract with General Dynamics Electric Boat. The two-boat buy constitutes a “new start,” and thus would not be authorized under a stop-gap spending measure if Congress fails to pass a budget. But the White […]
Ahead of a slew of new missions to Earth’s natural satellite, researchers have detected a bizarre and unexpected anomaly on the lunar surface: the airless, liquid water-free Moon is rusting. This perplexing discovery has its roots in 2008 when the Indian Space Research Organization’s Chandrayaan-1 orbiter surveyed the Moon’s surface and discovered water ice. It wasn’t until recently that Shuai Li of the University of Hawaii and his fellow researchers discovered signatures in the data matching the iron oxide, hematite, a form of rust that normally requires the presence of both oxygen and water. “It’s very puzzling,” Li said. “The Moon […]

And if we’re infected with the coronavirus — even if we don’t have any symptoms — those excretions could contain live, contagious SARS-COV-2 that can make others sick.

Deon Kay, the teenager who was shot and killed Wednesday by police in Washington, is shown in body cam footage carrying a handgun as he and another suspect flee from officers. Video released Thursday by Washington police chief Peter Newsham and Mayor Muriel Bowser shows an officer arriving on the scene after being dispatched on a report of a “man with a gun.” Two of the four suspects in the car flee on foot, and the officer gives chase. As he begins to chase the lead suspect, he turns back to his right and sees Kay running with a handgun and […]
(Natural News) One of the most underreported aspects of the current violence, unrest and chaos that continues night after night in major cities across America is the fact that the people creating the mayhem all have the same message: Revolution. Now, most Americans will dismiss such calls as nothing more than empty rhetoric being shouted by a small minority of people, and in a country of 330 million, it’s not something to worry about. After all, Leftists were shouting ‘Revolution!’ in the streets in the 1960s too, and nothing changed; we still have the same form of government our founders bequeathed […]

Greece and Turkey have agreed to talks to avoid accidental clashes in the Eastern Mediterranean, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday, part of efforts to defuse the worsening dispute over energy resources in the region, reported Reuters. Germany is also leading a diplomatic push for broader dialogue and German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke to Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan by video conference. “Following my discussions with Greek and Turkish leaders, the two allies have agreed to enter into technical talks at NATO to establish mechanisms for military deconfliction to reduce the risk of incidents and accidents in the Eastern Mediterranean,” Stoltenberg said in a statement.

St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson (D) revealed this week that she and husband have relocated over repeated protests outside of their residence. In a Wednesday statement to St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Krewson said “we have not lived at home for 2 months” due to demonstrations in July and August. “We did it to deescalate the situation, to save police resources, and, importantly, because our neighbors were being disturbed and threatened.” “I ran for this job — my neighbors did not,” she told the newspaper. The revelation comes as ongoing protests and violent unrest in downtown Portland and outside Mayor Ted Wheeler’s (D) upscale condo building have forced […]
The Department of Justice will is preparing to slap Google with an antitrust case over the next several weeks, according to the New York Times – which insists, based on five sources, that Attorney General Bill Barr “overruled career lawyers who said they needed more time to build a strong case against one of the world’s wealthiest, most formidable technology companies.” The Times’ implication is essentially that Barr is rushing for political purposes and the charges are premature. The Google case could also give Mr. Trump and Mr. Barr an election-season achievement on an issue that both Democrats and Republicans see […]

In a scenario reminiscent of the Rachel Dolezal scandal, an African history professor at George Washington University has admitted to pretending to be a Black woman throughout her career. “I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness,” Jessica A.

Amnesty International issued a report yesterday accusing Iran of widespread human rights abuses in a security crackdown on anti-government protests last year, Reuters reported. The report includes allegations of “rape, enforced disappearance, torture and other ill-treatment” of those detained for involvement in the mass demonstrations which broke out in November 2019. The protests began over fuel price hikes but turned broadly political when thousands of demonstrators across the country demanded top officials step down. “Those arrested included peaceful protesters and bystanders, among whom were schoolchildren as young as 10 years old,” said Amnesty’s report, adding that security forces used “waterboarding, beating, […]

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Thursday shamed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for getting her hair done inside a salon without a mask, flouting coronavirus guidelines in San Francisco. “Nancy Pelosi, you ought to apologize to the American people,” McEnany said at the White House press briefing. “Or better yet, come back to Washington and get to work for hardworking Americans like the salon owner that you maligned and demanded an apology from.” McEnany played the video footage of Pelosi’s visit to the salon for reporters during the White House press briefing on Thursday afternoon. She said Pelosi “bizarrely accused” […]
In an address to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in 1865, Frederick Douglass noted that he had often been asked “What should we do with the Negro?” Douglass remarked: I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall….And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let […]
To much fanfare, the DOL this morning reported that in the week ended Aug 29, there were “only” 881K new initial jobless claims filed, better than the 950K expected, down from 1.01 million the week prior and the lowest since the covid lockdowns. The Trump admin was quick to praise these numbers which coming just one day before the suddenly important payrolls report, suggest that August payrolls would be far better than whisper numbers. There is just one problem: the latest claims report was nothing more than the latest goalseeked government propaganda, boosted this time by a brand new “seasonal adjustment.” […]

New York Yankees pitcher Aroldis Chapman has been accused of hiding after he nearly sparked a mass brawl when he narrowly missed a Tampa Bay Rays player’s head, earning a three-game ban from MLB and scorn from coaches and pundits. Disgraced Chapman did not speak to the press after he missed Michael Brosseau’s head by a whisker with an astonishingly ferocious pitch of 101mph in the ninth innings of the latest bitter contest between the two teams.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) omitted the United States from its celebration of the 75th anniversary of Imperial Japan surrendering in World War II on Thursday, a holiday observed in America as “VJ Day” that marks Japanese leaders formally surrendering aboard the USS Missouri.

WSJ reached out to Sunstone Hotel Investors Inc., the real estate investment trust which manages the hotel for more color on the upcoming closing.

Predictably, Donald Trump’s Senior Adviser Jared Kushner exhibited no historical discernment when justifying the normalisation of relations between Israel and the UAE, and how this will affect the Palestinian people’s political rights. Palestinians, he declared, should not be “stuck in the past.” This was a sweeping statement typical not only of the US, but also the international community and its abstractions about “peace” and “negotiations”, which have taken precedence over calling Israeli colonial expansion over Palestinian land exactly what it is. There is a difference between diplomatic effort to reach a favourable agreement for both parties, and coercion to force a […]

There aren’t many bright spots in U.S.-Russia relations these days. But just as arms control negotiations had a stabilizing impact on the geopolitical rivalry between Washington and Moscow during the Cold War period, strategic stability talks today could help arrest the yearslong degradation in this critical, bilateral relationship. Last month, U.S. and Russian national security officials met in Vienna for follow-up discussions on nuclear doctrine, transparency and verification. Moscow describes previous talks in July as “professional,” a word you don’t usually hear expressed by the Kremlin. The dialogue comes at an especially tense time in the broader U.S.-Russia relationship, with the […]

Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov eased into the third round of the US Open, taking a solid win against unranked compatriot Andrey Kuznetsov who returned to the men’s tour after a three-year break caused by a hip injury.

China remains the world’s largest importers of chips, and will spend some $300 billion to import semiconductors this year — the vital component for chips’ functionality in storing data and programs on computers and other devices — but the Trump administration’s blacklisting a who’s who of China’s tech companies has put into doubt the country’s continued access to the most advanced chips. And now Bloomberg reports China is paving the way for an ambitious new program to establish a domestic semiconductor industry which new government policies are rapidly prioritizing in order to counter US sanctions and ultimately sever dependency on American tech in […]
Last month, a Bloomberg analysis said that the Fed’s decision to reduce interest rates to rock bottom levels helped wipe out the dollar’s advantage against the euro and the yuan, the currency sliding to its lowest valuation in 27 months while Congress is stuck in gridlock on a stimulus bill aimed at reducing the economic fallout from COVID-19.
