[ad_1] Green Tea Consumption and Liver Function: An Overview Green tea, derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, is consumed daily by millions of people worldwide. According to an article on Mercola.com, tea and coffee are leading sources of antioxidant polyphenols, substances linked to lower risks of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [1]. A 2026 report from NaturalNews.com noted that for the millions of Americans dealing with liver disease, “the daily cup of tea may offer more than warmth and comfort” [2]. Compounds in green tea, particularly catechins such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), interact with liver enzymes and may influence organ function. The book…

[ad_1] One year after the United States Agency for International Development ceased operations and its remaining responsibilities were folded into the State Department, many in Washington are asking how to restore what was lost. They are asking the wrong question. The real challenge is not whether to rebuild USAID. It is whether America will replace it with a foreign assistance system that delivers measurable results instead of funding ideology, bureaucracy, and programs that too often failed both taxpayers and the people they were meant to serve. The old system did not collapse because Americans stopped believing in generosity. It collapsed…

[ad_1] Photograph Source: Todd Dwyer – CC BY-SA 3.0 Until a couple of months ago, we could get a dose of humor to help us get through the craziness, cruelty, and corruption of the Trump administration. But CBS pulled Stephen Colbert off the air, and not because of bad ratings — he had by far the most widely viewed network show at that hour. The problem was Donald Trump is too thin-skinned to put up with a comedian poking fun at him regularly. As a result, he had Brendan Carr, his chair of the Federal Communications Commission, imply that the Ellison…

[ad_1] Equal justice requires one standard of accountability.   A recent New York Times opinion essay about the death of Ruben Ray Martinez argued that his killing raises profound questions about Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the role the agency should play in our society. Reading it led me to ask a different question – not just about one tragedy, but about how we judge all government failures. If an ICE officer unlawfully takes a life, there should be a full investigation. If wrongdoing occurred, there should be accountability. Government officers entrusted with extraordinary authority must be held to the…

[ad_1] With shoplifting a serious concern, and given the declining cost of security equipment, it’s no surprise that grocery stores in California are rolling out facial recognition technology to identify known thieves when they step through the door. Software-backed cameras that match people’s faces to their names are increasingly ubiquitous at airports, stores, and on the street, spelling the potential end to anonymity in public places. The end, that is, unless people take advantage of gear and tactics designed to confuse facial recognition tech. You are reading The Rattler from J.D. Tuccille and Reason.

[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair When Vladimir Lenin wrote about imperialism and considered it the highest stage of capitalism, he was tracking the moment capital shifted from the space of free competition into the world of monopoly, where banks merged with industry, the state turned into a direct instrument serving finance capital, and the world was redivided by force among the great monopolistic blocs. Today, more than a century later, we stand before a transformation similar in essence, different in tools: digital fascism represents the stage in which monopoly capitalism moves beyond the boundaries of classical imperialism, invading the…

[ad_1] We’re all in this race, whether we realize it or not. We’d better pick up the pace. Reading by Tim Foley: John F Kennedy was correct when he said “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” That’s why police robots are being aggressively normalized today. The empire managers want to make sure violent revolution is impossible, too. The New York Times’ sports department The Athletic has a creepy new article out titled “The ‘Robodogs’ on World Cup patrol in Mexico” about how wonderful and awesome it is that the international soccer tournament is being patrolled…
