Story at-a-glance Linoleic acid (LA), a ubiquitous omega-6 fat in Western diets, may directly influence aggressive cancer growth by activating specific cellular pathways, according to recent animal research High levels of LA, found predominantly in ultraprocessed foods, vegetable oils, and many packaged snacks, may contribute to cancer risk The research shows that triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells in animal models thrive on LA because it appears to trigger mTOR signaling, a pathway linked to rapid tumor growth To support cellular health, consider reducing your daily LA intake by less than 5 grams per day by limiting ultraprocessed foods, nuts, seeds,…

The Beijing summit, May 2026. President Trump arrived this week with a delegation of eighteen of America’s most powerful corporate executives — including Elon Musk and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang aboard Air Force One — to negotiate the future of the AI supply chain with Xi Jinping’s government. The State Department calls it Pax Silica: a U.S.-led AI and supply-chain framework built around secure technology supply chains, economic security, artificial intelligence, critical minerals, semiconductors, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and “trustworthy systems.” The declaration signed in Washington on December 12, 2025 described the objective as building secure, prosperous, and innovative global technology supply…
President Donald Trump conditioned the Iran peace deal on several Muslim nations joining the Abraham Accords. The Accords are a series of agreements that gave incentives to Muslim nations to improve relations with Israel. “Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!” the President wrote on Truth Social Monday. “Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye,…
What is hegemony? Is the United States losing it? A gunner’s mate lowers the U.S. flag as the guided-missile destroyer USS Ralph Johnson gets underway in Sasebo, Japan, on Feb. 18, 2025, (U.S. Navy / Hannah Fry / Public Domain) By Michael Brenner HEGEMONY. “Hegemony, Hegemon everywhere — but not a ‘definition’ in sight.” Talk about American foreign policy is fixated on the word — omnipresent in all manner of discourse: academic, journalistic, political. It shares characteristics with other trendy terms that have won favor and fervor — e.g. existential or transgender — without any agreement on what real-world phenomena they…

On Monday, the 48th day of the U.S.–Iran ceasefire, President Donald Trump urged a host of Middle East nations to join the Abraham Accords, which have normalized relations between Israel and Muslim nations. “By copy of this TRUTH, I am asking my Representatives to begin, and successfully complete, the process of signing these Countries into the already Historic Abraham Accords,” Trump posted on Truth Social Monday morning, adding that “it should be mandatory” that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, and Jordan join the agreement and normalize relationships with Israel. The refusal of countries in the Middle East to normalize…
Americans just watched the Israel lobby openly manipulate yet another election. Then they’re going to hear their government tell them they need to regime change another foreign country to bring in “democracy.” Try bringing democracy to the United States. Thomas Massie lost his congressional seat against a primary opponent whose Israel lobby funding made the race the most expensive U.S. House of Representatives primary in history. Massie has been a rare Republican opponent of Israeli abuses on Capitol Hill. The spending on Massie’s ouster topped out at a staggering $32 million when all was said and done. The second- and third-most expensive House…
