🚨🚨🚨Alert: US launches massive strikes on Iran, restarting the war and ending negotiations, which are at a Dead End!! US Central Command struck missile launch sites and Iranian fast attack boats killing dozens of Iranian military troops, U.S. military says! - FOX🔥🔥🔥

Don’t worry about the gag order in the Charlie Kirk case. I plan to violate it on the world’s behalf. The things I’ve discovered this past week are enough to burn the house down. Yes, Charlie was betrayed. By everyone.

Eli Lilly has done it. They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol. That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!

🚨 Trump demands Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan sign Abraham Accords as condition of Iran deal President Trump posted on Truth Social Monday demanding that all countries involved in Iran negotiations simultaneously sign the Abraham Accords, describing it as a prerequisite for any deal and warning those who refuse would be excluded from the agreement. “It should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote, naming Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain as targets. The UAE and Bahrain are already members. 🔸Trump warned: “If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.” 🔸He said it “should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit.” 🔸He also dangled Iran’s own potential membership, writing: “If Iran signs its Agreement with me… it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition.” 🔹The Abraham Accords, brokered during Trump’s first term, normalized relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Kazakhstan. Trump’s demand would require the mediating countries to recognize Israel and normalize relations as a condition of ending the Iran war — a significant ask given that Saudi Arabia has publicly conditioned any normalization on a credible and irreversible path to Palestinian statehood, a position shared in various forms by Turkey, Egypt, and others on the list. 🔹The demand comes as the U.S. has allowed Israel to continue the daily killing of Palestinians in Gaza for more than seven months since the October 2025 Trump-brokered ceasefire, with over 900 Palestinians killed since the agreement was approved by Israel. The U.S. and Israel are also deliberately blocking minimum levels of food, medicine, shelter, fuel, and reconstruction aid. 🔹President Trump has also removed sanctions on the most violent Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, where rampant state-backed settler violence to uproot Palestinian families has gone unchecked since the start of his second term. 🔹Trump closed his social media post with a warning: “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.”

The Israeli strike on a tent in Khan Younis today severed the foot of a one-month-old infant. The infant’s mother and a 6-year-old girl were also killed in the same attack. 🎥 Filmed by Ibrahim Muhareb.

Sourdough has become a wellness signal. People believe it is healthier than regular bread, especially for blood sugar. The biology is real, but it depends on whether the bread was actually fermented. Many supermarket "sourdoughs" were not. The mechanism. Real sourdough is made with a starter, a living culture of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Over 12 to 24 hours of fermentation, the bacteria produce lactic acid and acetic acid. These organic acids lower postprandial glucose and insulin through some combination of slower starch digestion and slower gastric emptying. The starch is also partly modified by long contact with acids and enzymes, making it digest more slowly. Same carbs, slower release into your blood. The human data. Liljeberg and Bjorck (Am J Clin Nutr 1997) showed that adding lactic acid or propionate to bread lowered postprandial glucose and insulin in healthy adults. The acids do the work. Ozer and colleagues (Wien Klin Wochenschr 2023) tested 43 women with gestational diabetes and 38 healthy pregnant women. Same breakfast, same carb dose, different bread. White wheat caused 45 percent more insulin and 9.6 percent more first-hour glucose than sourdough whole grain. Both groups. The difference was the bread. The industry problem. In the United States, "sourdough" is not a regulated term. Manufacturers can label any bread sourdough. Real Bread Campaign auditors in the UK have documented widespread use of commercial yeast, added vinegar or acetic acid, and "sourdough flavoring" in loaves sold as sourdough. The bread is leavened in roughly two hours, then dosed with acid to mimic the tang of a long ferment. Why this matters. Added vinegar is not nothing. Liljeberg 1997 showed adding acid to bread produces some glucose-lowering effect. But it does not replicate full sourdough fermentation, which produces both lactic and acetic acid in specific ratios plus slow modification of the starch itself. Commercial "sourdough" with added vinegar gets you a fraction of the benefit. A note on the data. The Ozer 2023 comparator was white wheat bread, not commercial "yeasted vinegar sourdough." The graphic extends that by inference. Commercial sourdough without real fermentation behaves like white bread plus a small added-acid effect. A note on labels. Authentic sourdough should list flour, water, salt, and starter. If the label says yeast, vinegar, acetic acid, or "natural flavor," the bread was not fermented in the traditional sense. Hybrid labels ("made with sourdough starter" plus commercial yeast) get some flavor compounds but skip most of the ferment. The takeaway. The glucose effect of sourdough is real and is one of the more rigorously documented benefits in fermented foods. But the benefit lives in the fermentation, not the label. Check the ingredient list. If it has yeast or vinegar, you are eating fast bread with a marketing claim. Liljeberg, Am J Clin Nutr 1997 · Ozer, Wien Klin Wochenschr 2023
