Toru Miyazaki gave 11 cats with advanced kidney disease an experimental injection. 15 others didn’t get it. A year later, 9 of the 11 treated cats were alive. Only 3 of the 15 untreated cats survived. He just filed for approval, and the drug fixes a defect only cats have.
Most cats die from one thing: their kidneys fail. By age 10, 4 in 10 cats already have chronic kidney disease, and by age 15, the rate doubles to 8 in 10. Once diagnosed, a cat has about 2 years left.
The reason kidney disease hits cats so hard is a broken protein in their blood. All mammals carry a protein that helps the kidneys clean out waste. In humans and dogs, the protein floats freely and goes to work when the kidneys are in trouble. In cats, it stays stuck to another protein and can’t get loose. So the waste piles up, and the kidneys eventually give out.
Miyazaki originally found the protein in 1999, back when he was at the University of Tokyo. He figured out the cat-specific glitch in 2015. The paper he published in the Veterinary Journal in February laid out the trial. The injection is a working version of the missing protein. His company, the Institute for AIM Medicine, filed the approval paperwork with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture on April 24, 2026. If the review clears, the drug goes on sale in spring 2027.
The 30-year lifespan figure in the tweet is Miyazaki’s own projection of what cats could reach without kidney disease. The trial only ran a year, and the average cat today lives 15. Most die from the same disease this injection treats.
The research almost died in 2020. After running out of funding during COVID, Miyazaki went public. Cat owners across Japan responded by sending in 300 million yen, around 2 million dollars total. He resigned from the University of Tokyo and worked on the drug full time. The treatment in front of regulators today exists because cat lovers refused to let the research die.
Saudi Arabia, which was behind the greatest slaughter of Americans on 9/11, is leading a smear campaign against Amb. Huckabee, a former Christian pastor, in coordination with the lie spread by Qatarlson about Israel having a biblical basis to acquire the entire region — which nobody has been saying or arguing. Anyone who actually watches the video knows Huckabee said no such thing. But we’re on to the entire scam.
So, what’s the Saudi monarchy’s purpose here? And it has organized the Arab League and others in the region to regurgitate this lie — and condemn something that was never said.
Pure, unadulterated evil. The prince has no idea how much contempt most Americans have for what his country did to ours. And we’ve not forgotten even if the political class has.

Democrats have been forcing you to provide healthcare benefits to the millions of illegal aliens Biden let into the U.S.
That’s making your healthcare more expensive
Dems say they’ll shut down the government to keep this going
What’s your response?
Remembering The Heroes of 9/11
TODD: Hello? Operator, listen to me... I can’t speak very loud – this is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco, we have a situation here. Our plane has been hijacked, can you understand me?
LISA: (exhaling a deep breath to herself) I understand… can the hijackers see you talking on the phone?
TODD: No.
LISA: Can you tell me how many hijackers are on the plane?
TODD: There are three that we know of.
LISA: Can you see any weapons? What kind of weapons do they have?
TODD: Yes… they don’t have guns… they have knives; they took over the plane with knives.
LISA: Do you mean, like steak knives?
TODD: No, these are razor knives… like box cutters.
LISA: Can you tell what country these people are from?
TODD: No... I don’t know, they sound like they’re from the Middle East.
LISA: Have they said what they want?
TODD: Someone from the cockpit announced that there was a bomb on board. He said that he was the captain, and to stay in our seats, and stay quiet. He said that they were meeting these hijacker’s demands, and returning to the airport… It was very broken English, and I’m telling you… it sounded fake.
LISA: Ok sir, please give me your name.
TODD: My name is Todd Beamer.
LISA: Ok Todd… my name is Lisa... Do you know your flight number? If you can’t remember, it’s on your ticket.
TODD: It’s United Flight 93.
LISA: Now Todd, can you try to tell me exactly what happened?
TODD: Ok. Two of the hijackers were sitting in first class near the cockpit; a third was sitting near the back of the coach section. The two up front got into the cockpit somehow, and there was shouting. The third hijacker said he had a bomb. It looks like a bomb. He’s got it tied to his waist with a red belt of some kind.
LISA: Is the door to the cockpit open?
TODD: No, the hijackers shut it behind them.
LISA: Has anyone been injured?
TODD: Yes… They… they killed one passenger sitting in first class. There’s been lots of shouting, we don’t know if the pilots are dead or alive. A flight attendant told me that the pilot and copilot had been forced from the cockpit and may have been wounded.
LISA: Where is the third hijacker now Todd?
TODD: He’s near the back of the plane. They forced most of the passengers into first class, there are fourteen of us here in the back. Five are flight attendants; he hasn’t noticed that I slipped into this pantry to get the phone. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor in the rear of the plane. Oh Jesus… help.
LISA: Todd; are you ok? Tell me what’s happening.
TODD: Hello.. We’re going down… I think we’re going to crash. Wait - wait a minute. No, we’re leveling off… we’re ok. I think we may be turning around… that’s it - we changed directions. Do you hear me… we’re flying east again.
LISA: Ok Todd… what’s going on with the other passengers?
TODD: Everyone is… really scared. A few passengers with cell phones have made calls to relatives; a guy, Jeremy, was talking to his wife just before the hijacking started. She told him hijackers had crashed two planes into the World Trade Center… Lisa is that true?
LISA: Todd… I have to tell you the truth… it’s very bad. The World Trade Center is gone. Both of the towers have been destroyed.
TODD: Oh G-d... help us!
LISA: A third plane was taken over by terrorists. It crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC. Our country is under attack... And I’m afraid that your plane may be part of their plan.
TODD: Oh dear G-d, dear G-d… Lisa, will you do something for me?
LISA: I’ll try… if I can… Yes.
TODD: I want you to call my wife and my kids for me and tell them what’s happened. Promise me you’ll call.
LISA: I promise - I’ll call.
TODD: Our home number is 201-333-1073... You have the same name as my wife… Lisa... We’ve been married for ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her that I love her.. (choking up). I’ll always love her… (Clears throat) We have two boys; David, he’s three, and Andrew, he’s one... Tell them… (choking up), tell them that their daddy loves them and that he is so proud of them. (Clears throat again). Our baby is due January 12th… I saw an ultra sound… it was great… we still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy… Lisa?
LISA: (barely able to speak) I’ll tell them, I promise Todd.
TODD: I’m going back to the group... if I can get back I will.
LISA: Todd, leave this line open; are you still there?...
LISA: (dials a phone number)... Hello, FBI, my name is Lisa Jefferson, I’m a telephone supervisor for GTE. I need to report a terrorist hijacking of a United Airlines Flight 93… Yes I’ll hold.
GOODWIN: Hello, this is Agent Goodwin, I understand you have a hijacking situation?
LISA: Yes sir, I’ve been talking with a passenger, a Todd Beamer, on Flight 93 who managed to get to an air-phone unnoticed.
GOODWIN: Where did this flight originate, and what was its destination?
LISA: The flight left Newark, New Jersey at 8 a.m. departing for San Francisco. The hijackers took over the plane shortly after takeoff and several minutes later the plane changed course - it’s now flying east.
GOODWIN: Ms. Jefferson… I need to talk to someone aboard that plane. Can you get me thru to the plane’s phone?
LISA: I still have that line open sir, I can patch you through on a conference call, hold a mo…
TODD: Hello Lisa, Lisa are you there?
LISA: Yes, I’m here. Todd, I made a call to the FBI, Agent Goodwin is on the line and will be talking to you as well.
TODD: The others all know that this isn’t a normal hijacking. Jeremy called his wife again, on his cell phone. She told him more about the World Trade Center.
GOODWIN: Hello Todd, this is Agent Goodwin with the FBI. We have been monitoring your flight. Your plane is on a course for Washington, DC. The terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon. Our best guess is that they plan to fly your plane into either the White House or the Capital Building.
TODD: I understand… hold on… I’ll… I’ll be back.
LISA: Mr. Goodwin, how much time do they have before they get to Washington?
GOODWIN: Not long ma’am. They changed course over Cleveland, they’re approaching Pittsburgh now. Washington may be twenty minutes away.
TODD: (breathing a little heavier) The plane seems to be changing directions just a little, it’s getting pretty rough up here. The plane is flying real erratic… we’re not going to make it out of here. Listen to me - I want you to hear this - I have talked with the others and we decided that we won’t be pawns in the hijackers suicidal plot.
LISA: Todd, what are you going to do?
TODD: We’ve hatched a plan. Four of us are going to rush the hijacker who has the bomb. After we take him out, we’ll break into the cockpit. A stewardess is getting some boiling water to throw on the hijackers at the controls. We’ll get them, and we’ll take them out. Lisa, will you do one last thing for me?
LISA: Yes… what is it?
TODD: Would you pray with me?
They pray:
Our father which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive our trespassers,
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, For ever.
Amen
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me to lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the still waters
He restores my soul
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
TODD: (softer) G-d help me. Jesus help me (clears throat and louder),
Are you guys ready?...
Let’s Roll...
IIhan Omar, while grinning, says Charlie Kirk deserved it and had it coming: "He downplayed George Floyd. and slavery."

I want her deported. Immediately.
.@POTUS@realDonaldTrump@JDVance I am begging you to not sell this federal land. These 250 million acres are irreplaceable American wilderness, the heart and spirit of this country. Please, please, reconsider this irreversible and damaging decision.
We don’t need to sell federal land and turn our wilderness into housing developments. If we need more housing, let’s round up all the illegals who don’t belong in this country and evict them. That’ll free up millions of housing units in one fell swoop. Leave the federal land alone. America’s natural beauty must be protected.
Kamala Harris is not Hitler.
Donald Trump is not Hitler.
Equating either candidate or their supporters to the Nazi regime diminishes the genuine horrors of Hitler and his followers.
It dishonors the millions who perished under his orders and disrespects those who gave their lives to bring his tyranny to an end.
Save the reprimand for the actual Nazis.
