[ad_1] Story at-a-glance Research suggests “normal” vitamin B12 levels are insufficient for optimal brain health, especially in older adults, despite being above the standard medical threshold Vitamin B12 helps your nerves work well by protecting them with a special coating, allowing brain messages to travel quickly and clearly A study of healthy older adults showed that lower B12 levels, even within the “normal” range, were linked to slower thinking and brain signals Signs of low B12 include brain fog, memory issues, tingling in hands and feet, and mood swings; these symptoms often develop gradually Rich sources of B12 include grass…

[ad_1] From Thursday’s Schulte v. Leners, decided by Judge Frank Easterbrook, joined by Judges Doris Pryor and Joshua Kolar: Elizabeth Schulte co-owns real property in Cedar Lake. The Town is governed by a three-member Board of Supervisors, of which Kenneth Leners served as chairman in September 2022. The Town maintains a website (townofcedarlake.org), which it uses to post things such as agendas, officials’ contact information, and updates on pending business. According to Schulte’s complaint, which we take as true at this stage, until September 2022 the website allowed members of the public to comment on the Town’s posts. Members of…

[ad_1] Republican Mike Rogers has provided no evidence that Democrat Abdul El-Sayed “believes that America deserved 9/11,” as Rogers falsely claimed in a statement this month. Instead Rogers’ Senate campaign has pointed to past comments made by a liberal political commentator. El-Sayed said in April that the 2001 terrorist attack on the U.S. was not justified. Rogers speaks at a campaign rally in Portage, Michigan, in October 2024, during his previous run for Senate. Photo by Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images. Rogers released the statement attacking El-Sayed, who is Muslim, after El-Sayed won the Aug. 4 Democratic primary…

[ad_1] President Donald Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House last October, planning to replace it with a new structure that includes a 90,000-square-foot ballroom. Trump did not have the legal authority to do that, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled on Friday, saying he may not complete the project unless and until Congress approves it. “Each President is a temporary tenant, not the owner, of the White House and its Executive Residence,” writes Judge Patricia Millett, a Barack Obama appointee, in an opinion joined by Judge Bradley Garcia, who was nominated by Joe…

[ad_1] AOC’s 2028 aspirations? “This is a choice that I am making to feel more in control of my life,” said 36-year-old Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.), announcing on Instagram that she was beginning the process of freezing her eggs. Today’s highly educated, high-earning, big-city moms and potential moms—like Ocasio-Cortez—want to be in control of their fates. When we have children, though, we must inevitably surrender a bit. The fact that Ocasio-Cortez was able to throw this news on Instagram and command a whole news cycle over the weekend points to her earned-media skill. And to the fact that she could…

[ad_1] This week, editors Peter Suderman, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Nick Gillespie, and Matt Welch discuss Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s admission that “Woke 1 was crazy” and whether the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) new focus on affordability represents a genuine break from the politics of 2020. They debate whether progressives have actually moved on from the excesses of the pandemic era, whether the DSA’s economic agenda is any more workable, and why affordability has become such a potent message on the left. The editors also examine how the cost of living is driving infighting on the right, from the online battle over $20 burritos to the…

[ad_1] The H-1B visa program was sold to the American people as a narrow pathway for importing rare talent that supposedly could not be found in the United States. We were told these were the “best and brightest,” possessing exceptional skills needed to keep America competitive. That sales pitch has collapsed under the weight of fraud, corporate abuse, and government negligence. Indian investigators seized nearly 100,000 counterfeit degree certificates and forged academic records linked to at least 28 universities. One institution allegedly issued more than 36,000 fraudulent degrees. Authorities are investigating whether some credentials were used to obtain jobs in medicine, nursing,…

[ad_1] Last week, the Trump administration teased a deal with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz closed by war. President Donald Trump said on August 4 that the deal “could happen tomorrow or the next day.” Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said the same day that “we may have a deal today or tomorrow to open the strait and move towards a more normalized position.” It is now August 10, and no deal is in sight. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary declared on Saturday that it would only allow the Strait of Hormuz to reopen with a permanent…

Join CJ as he discusses: The Syracusan reaction to news of a huge, inbound Athenian expeditionary force, including the wise advice of Hermocrates (that wasn’t sufficiently heeded at first) The arrival of the Athenians in the area, & initial difficulties & disappointments they began to encounter The debate among the 3 Athenian strategoi (Nicias, Lamachus & Alcibiades) over how to proceed, the strategy adopted, & the lack of…
