🚨 CLEARING HIS NAME: The House Weaponization Committee had something to SAY to all that love to call President Trump a "convicted felon."

That is a TIRED, DISRESPECTFUL narrative.

Horrifying results tonight in New York City where Democratic Socialists are poised to win 3 congressional primaries. Incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman lost his seat in Congress tonight. He was thrown out of a coffee shop this weekend in Brooklyn -- because he's a Jew. What is old is new again in NYC. #1930sGermany

Netanyahu to reserve officers:

Israel needs to manufacture its own weapons and build an independent armament capability. "I really appreciate the support from our American friends. Today I say: we need our own independent armament array."

There Is Now a Clear Chain of Evidence. This Must Go to the DOJ. A Special Counsel — Not an Inspector General — Is the Only Appropriate Response.

Independent counsel is legally indicated when there is a government conflict of interest in a matter of public importance. Both conditions are met. Fauci's preemptive pardon covers federal prosecution — it does not cover state attorneys general or local prosecutors. The chain of evidence is now documented, declassified, and on the record. The DOJ must act. Every day it doesn't is a choice.

The PHQ-9 is one of the most widely used depression screening tools in the world.

It's used in primary care offices, hospitals, schools, universities, workplace wellness programs, and mental health clinics. Millions of people have completed it. Many have received a depression diagnosis based, at least in part, on their score.

Most people assume the PHQ-9 emerged from a purely scientific effort to improve the identification of depression.

The actual story is more complicated.

In the early 1990s, Pfizer was preparing to market Zoloft. At the time, severe clinical depression was generally viewed as a relatively uncommon condition, and many primary care physicians were hesitant to diagnose and treat it.

Mental health assessments were complicated. They required time, clinical judgment, and an understanding of a person's life circumstances. Most family physicians didn't receive extensive psychiatric training and many were uncomfortable making psychiatric diagnoses.

This presented a problem.

If antidepressants were going to reach a much larger population, depression had to become easier to identify within primary care.

The solution was a brief screening questionnaire.

The idea for what eventually became the PHQ-9 originated with Pfizer marketing executive Howard Kroplick. The goal was straightforward: create a simple tool that could be administered during routine office visits and help physicians identify potential depression quickly and efficiently.

Over time, the PHQ-9 became embedded throughout healthcare.

The problem isn't that the questionnaire asks about symptoms associated with depression. The problem is that the symptoms it measures are not unique to depression.
Feeling down.
Loss of interest.
Trouble sleeping.
Fatigue.
Difficulty concentrating.
Changes in appetite.

These experiences certainly occur in depressive disorders. They also occur during grief, divorce, job loss, financial hardship, chronic illness, burnout, loneliness, and countless other painful but normal human experiences.

A questionnaire can count symptoms.

It cannot understand context.

It cannot tell whether someone is mourning the death of a spouse, struggling through a difficult life transition, or suffering from a depressive disorder.

That distinction requires a conversation.

It requires clinical judgment.

It requires understanding a person's history, relationships, circumstances, and meaning-making processes.

When we reduce emotional suffering to a checklist, we risk confusing normal human responses to adversity with psychiatric pathology.

This matters because screening tools do more than measure symptoms.

They shape how clinicians think.

They shape how patients understand themselves.

And they influence who receives a diagnosis, who receives medication, and how society defines mental illness.

The question is not whether depression exists.

The question is whether we have allowed a marketing-driven framework to expand the boundaries of diagnosis in ways that blur the distinction between clinical disorder and ordinary human suffering.

The history of the PHQ-9 deserves far more attention than it receives.

Most people have never been told this story.

They should be.

No More Chemotherapy!
#Israeli researchers at the Technion developed tiny nanoparticles that slowed aggressive breast cancer tumors without carrying chemotherapy, antibodies, or any cancer drugs.
Instead of attacking the tumor directly, they changed its environment - blocking the harmful signals that help cancer grow.
In preclinical studies, tumors shrank significantly, and researchers showed that even these "empty" particles could stop cancer from developing.
Sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't adding more medicine.
It's finding a smarter way to heal. #Israel #Cancer

I’m sick to my freaking stomach reading Tulsi Gabbard’s declassified bombshells. They laid out the entire treasonous plot: weaponizing the Zelensky phone call to impeach Trump, with Rudy Giuliani squarely in their crosshairs next.

This wasn’t politics—it was a straight-up coup by corrupt deep state actors to overthrow the will of the American people.

These people belong in prison for this shit. Deeply disturbing and downright terrifying.

Boulder, Colorado - an eighth-grade Jewish student at Southern Hills Middle School was strangled with a cord while being called a "stupid k*ke, according to a newly filed civil rights complaint.

The student endured months of antisemitic abuse, including physical assaults, Nazi salutes, "Jew tag" games, and classmates telling him Hitler should have finished the job.

Police referred one attacker to juvenile court for assault.

The school's response?
Move the Jewish student to a different study period and have him leave class early to avoid being attacked in the hallways.

The adults who ignored the daily torment of this Jewish child should be terminated and never be allowed to work in education again.

Yesterday was my final day as Director of National Intelligence. I declassified and released never-before-seen documents exposing the truth about Fauci directing millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. Go to https://t.co/tVwWp0TxZ4 to see for yourself.
