Schiff has created a legal defense fund as the Justice Department investigates the allegations. Trump has appointed former D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin as special attorney in the case.

Trump accused “shifty” Schiff of mortgage fraud earlier this summer.

“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,” he wrote on social media in July. “And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud. Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook.”

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. During that case, a captured internal document of the Muslim Brotherhood was released, naming CAIR’s parent organization, the Islamic Association for Palestine, as one of its allied groups, and explaining that the mission of Brotherhood groups in the U.S. was “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

Philadelphia: CAIR-Philadelphia is now “partnering” with city schools to promote “inclusive education.”

Among its offerings:

• A 9/11 curriculum that bans teachers from using the words “Islamic terrorists” or “jihadists.”

• A workshop titled “American Jews and Political Power: Myth or Reality,” teaching students about the ADL, AIPAC, and promoting BDS activism.

The workshop is run by Jacob Bender, who described October 7th as merely “the first day of the Gaza war.” He also served on the Philadelphia superintendent’s “anti-racist district culture” team.

So under the guise of “equity,” Philly schools are letting CAIR push propaganda that erases jihad from 9/11 and portrays Jewish political life as suspect.

Scientists make mind-blowing medical breakthrough using human waste: ‘This can be done easily‘ – The Cool Down

Source Link
Excerpt:

Researchers have developed engineered yeast that converts human waste into medical-grade material for tooth and bone implants, reported Interesting Engineering.

The development tackles two challenges at once. Untreated human waste threatens waterways by flooding them with excess nutrients. At the same time, demand for biocompatible implant materials continues to grow, with the market expected to hit $3.5 billion by 2030.

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine, and partner institutions have engineered “osteoyeast,” a modified organism that mimics the cells responsible for building bones naturally. The yeast processes urea, adjusting pH levels to trigger calcium and phosphate collection. These minerals crystallize into hydroxyapatite, the same substance found in human bones and teeth.

Early results showed centrist Rodrigo Paz take the lead, with 32.8 percent of the vote, in surprise outcome.

Bolivia is heading to a presidential run-off between a centrist and right-wing candidate, confirming the end of two decades of government by the Movement for Socialism (MAS), according to the South American country’s electoral council.

With more than 91 percent of the ballots counted on Sunday night, preliminary results showed centrist Rodrigo Paz of the Christian Democratic Party (PDC) in the lead, with 32.8 percent of the vote.

Conservative former interim President Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga, of the Alianza Libre coalition, was in second place, with 26.4 percent of the vote, meaning he will face Paz, the son of former left-leaning President Jaime Paz, in a run-off election on October 19.

The top Republican leader in the California Assembly just threw a curveball into Gov. Gavin Newsom’s gerrymandering plot.

Assemblymember James Gallagher is now proposing splitting the state into two separate ones.

His idea is to split California up into a coastal state and an inland state.

Here are the details:

BREAKING: The Republican leader of the California Assembly is introducing a resolution to split California into two states.

“The people of inland California have been overlooked for too long. It’s time for a two state solution.”

Republican Assembly Leader James Gallagher plans to unveil the proposal at a Wednesday press conference, calling it a response to Gavin Newsom’s push to redraw congressional maps.

Cincinnati’s local response to an attack that occurred one month ago continues to have negative consequences for Democrat Mayor Aftab Pureval, as he received a unanimous vote of “no confidence” Monday night from the local Fraternal Order of Police. This comes as the viral mob attack and Pureval’s lackluster response garnered local, state, and federal attention.

Cory Bowman, who is running against Pureval as a Republican in this year’s mayoral race, shared the fraternal order’s statement.

“The discussion before the vote at the [Fraternal Order of Police]’s meeting on Monday night covered a large number of grievances the FOP has with the Mayor. Among them were: The mayor’s inability to address situations quickly, demonstrated by his three-day delay in commenting on the Elm Street riot, leaving officers and the community in limbo. The administration’s public comments and eventual order to the city solicitor to force police to charge a felonious assault victim with misdemeanor disorderly conduct, solely to appease racial tensions at the urging of a few community leaders,” the announcement said. “FOP members have a complete lack of faith in the mayor’s ability to fix pressing issues or lead the city effectively moving forward. Deciding to push politics into the justice system is unforgivable.”

DNC Chair Withdraws Resolution Recognizing Israel’s Right to Exist – legalinsurrection.com

Excerpt:

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin withdrew his Israel-Gaza resolution from consideration after the members punted on a more extreme resolution.

The Democrats are in disarray.

Martin’s resolution demanded the release of all hostages, a two-state solution, and a ceasefire.

Martin said:

So today, I introduced a resolution, resolution three, which was focused on finding common ground in our party on a very heartbreaking humanitarian issue, and it’s aligned with our party platform. This crisis in Gaza is urgent, and my resolution is focused on that humanitarian crisis, and makes it clear that it must be addressed as the emergency that it is.

Now I know that there are some who are interested in making changes today, but as we’ve seen, there’s divide in our party on this issue.

This is a moment that calls for shared dialogue. It calls for shared advocacy, and that’s why I’ve decided today, at this moment, listening to the testimony and listening to people in our party, to withdraw my amendment and resolution to allow us to move forward on a conversation on this as a party.

Utah 3rd District Judge Dianna Gibson told Utah to redraw its congressional district map before the 2026 midterms.

The new map must “align with what voters approved in 2018.”

Utah has 30 days to submit four new maps that match Proposition 4.

Gibson will hold a conference with parties on Friday to discuss the next steps. A hearing on the proposed maps is scheduled for October.

Republicans could appeal Gibson’s decision, which would likely keep the current map until 2028.

The redistricting war is officially on.

After weeks of bluster from dueling governors and state lawmakers, California and Texas raced forward with parallel action this week to draw new congressional maps, setting into motion a national redistricting fight that could upend the midterms and determine control of the House.

Texas Republicans on Saturday passed a new map that will help the GOP flip as many as five House seats — a partisan play at the hand of President Donald Trump. On Thursday, California Democratic lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom preemptively agreed to send a retaliatory ballot measure to voters — the first step in potentially offsetting Texas’ maneuver by creating new Democratic-leaning seats.

Cabinet minister, Clare O’Neil, has called the shooting of police officers in Victoria an “unfathomable tragedy”.

Speaking to Sunrise a bit earlier, the MP from Melbourne said the event should never have happened.

To have two police officers valiantly put themselves in the way of danger, not just to protect our broader Victorian community but to protect children and our community, and to see them lose their lives in this way is terrible. I know incidents like this in effect every single police officer and their family around the country, so can I say on behalf of the Australian government how deeply grateful we are for the incredible work of our police forces.

O’Neil was joined by shadow foreign minister, Michaelia Cash, on the Sunrise panel, and said she was heartbroken.

We are safe because there are Australians, police officers and others, who are prepared to put their lives on the line each and every day so that we can be so. Two of those officers have now paid the highest price, one is in hospital. On behalf of the Coalition, we are heartbroken for those families, we are heartbroken for the community, but more than that, [is] a clear message to the police across Australia and in particular, those wearing the blue uniform in Victoria, we stand with you.

Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan claims she’s immune from being prosecuted over federal charges she helped a violent illegal immigrant elude Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. But Dugan learned on Tuesday that no man — or woman — is higher than the law.

Apparently, Dugan’s alleged conduct was so egregious that even one of the more notoriously leftist federal judges in the country couldn’t look the other way.

U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Adelman agreed with a U.S. Magistrate’s previous recommendation that Dugan’s motion to dismiss the federal government’s case be denied. Adelman scheduled an in-court hearing for next Wednesday in his Milwaukee courtroom to set up a timeline for trial.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping made a rare visit to Tibet on Wednesday to mark the 60th anniversary of the consolidation of Beijing’s long-contested rule over the Himalayan territory.

Xi arrived in Tibet’s regional capital of Lhasa, where he “received a warm welcome from people of various ethnic groups” who waved bouquets of flowers and danced “to joyful rhythms,” the Xinhua News Agency said.

The agency said Xi urged the building of a “modern socialist” Tibet “that is united, prosperous, civilized, harmonious and beautiful.”

Communist forces occupied Tibet in 1951. In 1965, Mao Zedong’s single-party dictatorship established the Tibet autonomous region. Decades of political repression followed, including the demolition of some Buddhist monasteries and the imprisonment of monks.

Fears over the state of Donald Trump‘s health have been resurrected after the US President confessed he is worried about not getting into heaven. This had led to speculation that “he knows he’s dying”.

Speaking on Tuesday to Fox News, Mr Trump said that he hopes negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia will improve his odds of passing on to a good afterlife. “If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s a pretty… I want to try to get to heaven if possible, I’m hearing that I’m not doing well,” he said. “I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” The comments came just one day after hosting multiple European leaders at the White House, including Ukraine‘s Volodymyr Zelensky, Sir Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.

U.S. Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) is doubling down on his calls to axe Republican-led redistricting efforts after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a plan to draw out five Republican-controlled districts in his state, which is already among the most gerrymandered in the nation. Rep. Kiley’s seat is in danger of being drawn out if Newsom’s plan succeeds.

Earlier this month, the California lawmaker introduced a bill that, if passed, would prevent states from redrawing their respective congressional maps before the 2030 census. The bill was introduced as Texas Republicans moved forward with a plan that would create five additional districts that Trump won by 10 or more points last year.

A number of additional Republican-controlled states, including Missouri, Ohio, in addition to potential plans from Indiana and Florida, are considering redistricting themselves. Republicans have argued that the move is necessary due to extreme gerrymanders in Democrat-controlled states like California, Illinois and Maryland.

3D-Printed Brain Vessels Could Unlock New Stroke Treatments – techexplorist.com

Imagine the brain’s blood vessels as a bustling highway system, twisting, turning, and pulsing with life. Now picture a traffic jam in one of the most critical intersections: that’s what happens in cerebrovascular diseases, especially when stenosis (narrowing of blood vessels) blocks the flow.

Doctors have tools to clear the jam, like surgical rerouting, balloon angioplasty, and stents. These can help restore blood flow, but here’s the catch: they don’t rebuild the real complexity of the brain’s vascular network. It’s like fixing a highway with straight pipes when the brain needs winding mountain roads.

Traditional lab models? They’re often too simple. Static cultures and microfluidic chips can’t mimic the brain’s dynamic flow, flexible vessel walls, or biological responses. That’s like studying traffic patterns using toy cars on a flat board.

Key Takeaways

  • The Conversation is a news organization partially funded by public universities to the tune of $2 million annually while producing predominantly anti-Trump content.
  • None of the articles analyzed by The College Fix were explicitly supportive of Trump, and the language used in many instances was deemed emotionally charged and biased, raising concerns about the publication’s claim of neutrality.
  • Public universities, including Michigan State and West Virginia University, financially support The Conversation, but inquiries to these institutions about their contributions and the political alignment of the outlet went unanswered.
