Researchers show social connection is still underappreciated as a medically relevant health factor | Sharman Gill, Brigham Young University

Research confirms that social isolation and loneliness significantly impact health and mortality, even if not listed on death certificates. BYU psychology and neuroscience professor, Julianne Holt-Lunstad, has published extensively on the topic, including a landmark 2010 meta-analysis and a 2023 framework on assessment and treatment.

She also served as lead scientist on the 2023 Surgeon General Advisory and is advising the World Health Organization on an upcoming report that addresses the pressing health threat of loneliness and isolation and a global agenda on social connection.

Social connection is now a legitimate health factor, but Holt-Lunstad and doctoral student, Andrew Proctor, recently published two studies showing that most of us—the general population and medical providers—still don't think social connection affects physical health. And even the professionals who recognize the importance report that they don't have time or tools to help patients address social concerns.

Proctor, who authored a study recently published in BMC Public Health, explained that before the study, they had been watching how the pandemic was influencing internet searches around the topics of isolation and loneliness.

"I have a marketing background, so I thought that maybe the public perception had changed since COVID. Social distancing, isolation and loneliness were huge buzzwords on the internet as seen through Google Trends and BuzzSumo (an online trend analyzer). Everything around these search terms was super viral during that time, and so we wondered if perceptions about social connection had changed," said Proctor.

With loneliness and isolation trending on the internet, the researchers set up a study. In a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults, as well as samples from the U.K. and Australia, they surveyed 2,392 people about their perceptions of health risks associated with isolation and loneliness. The data showed that, despite the pandemic and other campaigns, people still underestimate the importance of social connection for physical health. And the underestimation exists equally among the lonely and the socially connected.

"The study identified blind spots in medical care," said Proctor. "Social connection is like a vital sign. What if we didn't care about high blood pressure? Or what if we never knew smoking was bad for us? Social connection is like a key vital sign. We just don't tend to recognize it."

In a closely connected study published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Holt-Lunstad and Proctor, along with co-authors from top research medical centers, surveyed 681 health care providers (primarily doctors) about perceptions of health risks associated with poor social connection. Similar to the general population from the first study, health care providers underestimated social connection as a medically relevant health factor.

The researchers gleaned some unexpected insights due to an unintentional time lag in data collection in the second study.

"We completed the data collection at two different time points because we were waiting for institutional approvals. Our first cohort was health care providers through the University of Utah Health System. Slightly later, we had a second major cohort of University of California San Francisco (UCSF) physicians," said Holt-Lunstad. "What was interesting is that the perceived importance of social factors was a bit higher among the UCSF group."

The authors attribute the higher awareness at UCSF to the University's Social Interventions Research and Evaluation Network as well as the publication of the 2023 Surgeon General's Advisory, which came out just before the second cohort was surveyed. This suggests that social initiatives as well as institutional support make a difference in the perceived importance of social connection.

"What I hope is that these studies can spur recognition that there is a body of evidence showing social connection as medically relevant," said Holt-Lunstad. "Together these papers make a really compelling case that not only does the general public underestimate this, but so do health care providers who should know this information."

"Awareness can make a difference," says Holt-Lunstad. "It's the first step, but awareness isn't enough."

The research brings to light the need for education and strategies for health care providers as well as the need for a revised K-12 health care curriculum and public health campaigns. Future research includes how to address perceived barriers to integrated medical treatment and actionable strategies such as "social prescribing."

The 2026 elections will look very different—and election officials must be prepared.

Under President Trump’s 2025 Executive Order on election integrity and the Final Rule implementing EO 13873, the federal government is moving quickly to eliminate insecure electronic voting systems. This includes equipment that relies on barcodes, QR codes, or foreign-made components.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick now has broad authority to ban or decertify voting equipment tied to foreign adversaries. At the same time, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that U.S. voting systems have long been vulnerable to hacking and manipulation—reinforcing the urgent move to hand-marked paper ballots.

There are no VVSG 2.0-compliant machines on the market today. The only way to ensure compliance—and public trust—is to prepare for hand-marked, human-verifiable paper ballots in 2026.

The clock is ticking.

Islamic culture never underwent a moral revolution.

There was no Reformation. No Enlightenment. No shift from external control to internal conscience.

Its ethical system was never born of grace, it was imposed through law.

That law, Sharia, is not grounded in universal human dignity. It is structured around expanding the rule of Allah.

In Islam, morality isn’t measured by truth, integrity, or justice, but by ritual performance and obedience.

A “moral” Muslim is not defined by honesty, personal accountability, or restraint in power. He is defined by:

•Whether his wife is veiled,
•Whether he avoids forbidden foods,
•Whether he prays in public,
•And whether he complies with the prescribed behavior of a collective system.

Ethics are reduced to the policing of women and sexuality. Character is secondary, and conscience is irrelevant.

This is why Islamic societies are structurally incapable of producing a moral framework that aligns with the West.

Their laws, families, institutions, and religious teachings are designed not to form free individuals, but to create compliant subjects.

I just returned from filming multiple documentaries in South Africa…

I can assure you: no one in South Africa sleeps with their doors unlocked.

That illusion of safety is reserved for the 1%—people like Cyril Ramaphosa and Johann Rupert—whose wealth is rooted in ANC corruption.

Living in mansions protected by 24/7 armed security, motion detectors, cameras, electric fences, biometric gates, and private patrol units does not count as “sleeping with your door unlocked”.

Meanwhile, the average South African installs burglar bars, panic buttons, razor wire, and sleeps with a gun next to the bed praying that they will live to see another day.

You think people like @CyrilRamaphosa have to organize community protection groups on WhatsApp with his neighbors to stay safe?

Decades of state looting & capture have gutted the energy grid, collapsed/corrupted law enforcement & the judicial system, destroyed the once thriving economy, and unleashed a crime wave so horrifying you’d think you were in a movie.

The ultra rich aren’t safe—they’re just hiding in fortresses, while the rest of the population are left to survive in what can only be described as a war zone.

Imam brags: "France WILL become an Islamic country through Jihad; The entire world WILL be subject to Islamic Rule"

The French will: "Convert to Islam, be Forced to pay Jizya poll tax, or be fought against for the sake of Allah"

In 2017, France silenced my warnings by banning my Twitter account, dismissing the major concerns I raised about the perils of their open border policies. Now, as I had forewarned, those concerns have materialized, and the country is facing the consequences of being conquered.

U. S. Border Migration and the Hijra of Political Islam

■ Islamic jihadis, smuggled into the country, are a special concern to the security of the nation.
■ Political Islam, that part of the Islamic doctrine that affects the non-Muslim (Kafir), is inexorably linked to Islamic immigration.
■ The jihadis are following a 1,400 year old ideology, taken from the Koran, the Hadith, Mohammed’s examples, and the Sira, his biography.
■ The migration of Mohammed and his followers from Mecca to Medina is called the “hijra”. In Medina, Mohammed established the political aspects of Islam and created the Charter of Medina which divided Muslims from all others they called Kafirs.
■ With the migration, the jihadis within the Islamic community insinuate themselves into the fabric of the host country, in a well-organized manner, and use jihad (the struggle for the cause of Allah) in all its forms, with the ultimate goal being submission to Mohammed and Allah.

Retrieved from: CSPII Newsletter, Special Edition, Political Islam in North America No. 7 - Political Islam's Hijra Crosses the U.S. Border (October 29, 2023)

U.S. Migration Problems

The issue of illegal aliens and refugees (1) streaming across our Southern (2) and Northern (3) borders claiming asylum has finally gotten the attention of the U.S. public and media.

Mass migration at the Southern border of the United States has contributed to a breakdown in counterterrorism efforts which endangers our national security. “U.S. Customs and Border Control (CBC) flagged 74,904 illegal migrants nationwide for potentially posing risks to national security between October 2022 and August [2023], according to CBP data …” (4)

Islamic jihadis smuggled into the country are a special concern to the security of the nation. But many of those who pose a danger to our security are not here illegally. Sixty five Afghans, granted refugee status after American troops were withdrawn from Afghanistan in 2021, were found to be “terror risks.” (5)

Earlier in 2023, a group of Uzbeks who requested asylum at the Mexican border, were screened by the Dept. of Homeland Security, and released (6) into the United States, pending a court date. Later this year, US Intelligence officials found that one of the smugglers who brought the Uzbeks across the border had ties to the jihadi group ISIS (1). The Uzbeks have yet to be found.

Uzbeks are classified as “special interest aliens” since Uzbekistan is an Islamic country, and Uzbek jihadis have committed serious crimes in the U.S. (6) In 2017, a 29 year old Uzbek migrant drove a truck into a crowd in New York City, killing eight people and injuring many others. Another Uzbek migrant, who had posted an on-line threat to kill then President Barack Obama in the name of ISIS, was arrested in 2015 and found guilty of terrorism charges.

Todd Bensman with the Center for Immigration Studies reported (7) on an interesting migrant shelter in Tijuana, Mexico, a few blocks from  the U.S. border. The first Islamic shelter and mosque expressly for  migrants, AlbergueAssabil/Mesquijta Taybah (8) caters to the special needs of the Islamic community and includes a  mosque, a local imam, religious education, Islamic halal food and  male/female segregated sleeping facilities.

The migrants can stay for one night or they can live at the shelter for an extended time. They don’t have to answer questions that would disclose their plans, either entering legally as refugees or being smuggled into the U.S.

The migrants arrive each day from all over the Islamic world (9), including Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Somalia and other countries in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.

An Examination of the Political Aspects of the Hijra

Mohammed and his followers settled into a new life in Medina (10). They built a mosque used for community religious practice and education, for political/war strategy gatherings, and armament storage, and a home compound attached to it for Mohammed’s family.

Mohammed became a political figure and was responsible for the Constitution or Charter of Medina (13). The Constitution describes the relationship between the Muslims from Mecca and the Medinan converts, and the Muslims’ relationship with the Jewish tribes and the polytheist Medinan Arabs. The Constitution of Medina functioned as a basis of law and governance and gave Mohammed power over the non-Muslims.

The Constitution of Medina said that the Muslims are one community, the Umma, to the exclusion of all other men. For instance, they could be friends to one another but not to disbelievers. (11)

What Mohammed did with the Constitution was to set up a political system that was not based on the traditional Arabic tribal blood affiliations. Instead, he divided all people into the Umma, the Islamic community, who followed Mohammed and Allah, and the non-Islamic community of Kafirs. There were different rules prescribed for Muslims and Kafirs, thus establishing the principle of duality as a fundamental part of the Islamic doctrine and law.

Mohammed and his followers needed to make a living, so under his leadership, they became powerful warriors, making raids on trading caravans and fighting battles with other tribes. They took the defeated tribesmen and their women as slaves and kept their stock and possessions. After giving Mohammed and his family one fifth of the booty, they kept the rest, dividing it among themselves.

After many successful battles and raids, Mohammed and his followers conquered Mecca, took over the Kaba, the sacred center of Arabian polytheism, and made it the holy place for only Allah. When Mohammed died, all Arabia was under Islamic rule. (10)

Mohammed’s example of the migration process from Mecca to Medina is a prototype for Islamic political migration. Hijra begins with sending out a small group who learns about the new culture and its political structure. (12) Then, the Muslims and their families immigrate and settle into the host society, building mosques as a center for community religious and political cohesion. The community lives near the mosque, keeping their own laws. When the Umma is large and strong enough, jihad begins.

The completion of Hijra signals the beginning of jihad. According to the Hadith of Muslim, 33:125, Mohammed said, “There is no Hijra now, but (only) Jihad (fighting for the cause of Islam) and sincerity of purpose (have great reward) ; when you are asked to set out (on an expedition undertaken for the cause of Islam) you should (readily) do so.” (14)

The Hijra affects all non-Muslims for its goals are to revive jihad, strengthen the Islamic community, the Umma, and to establish its authority over the host country for the sake of the cause of Allah. The ultimate goal of Allah, Mohammed and the Islamic Umma is for all people to submit to the Sharia, the Islamic way of life. This is the submission [Islam means submission] that will bring peace to the world.

The Pattern of Hijra Continues Today

Islamic migration into the United States, as well as other countries in the 20th and 21st century, follows the pattern that Mohammed set 1,400 years ago. But, the difference today is that due to our technical innovations, global communications and transportation, this Hijra throughout the world has accelerated.

So, based on Mohammed’s example, Islamic migration begins with a small group which settles in the host country. When the group is large enough, the next steps are taken to:

■ Build a mosque that functions as a religious, social and political center
■ Settle around the mosque, start Islamic businesses and political infrastructure
■ Set up organizations with representatives to interact with the Kafir society, meeting local Kafir groups and engaging in proselytizing (dawa) and politics
■ Explain to the media what they want the public to know about Islam

Migration continues and the community grows more powerful. Mosques embrace those coming in, creating the environment to spread Political Islam. As a result, violent jihad against the Kafir increases, while Islamic politics, in all its forms, insinuates itself into the host country’s power structure, gains political offices and advocates the Islamic way of life, like Halal food in public institutions and prayers in schools.

History has shown that when the Islamic political structure grows large enough, it becomes a powerful socio-economic political force that dominates and controls the host country. For instance, Lebanon used to be a Christian country, but it is now Islamic.

Islamic migration brings oppositional political ideas into our country. The power behind these ideas is protected and nurtured in the mosques and by the Islamic organizations. And jihad, in all its forms, implements them.

Hijra was a momentous event in history. It is celebrated because it brought Political Islam to a new territory and made it victorious with jihad and politics. Since it is mentioned in the Koran, Mohammed’s biography and examples from his life, Islamic migration has been and will remain systematic and inherent in Political Islam

Hijra has proven itself to be an effective means to transport political ideas across borders. We must understand the development of the Hijra as a pattern followed by Political Islam if we are to defend our nation and continue our heritage of freedom and governmental rule as stated in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

We live in a culture where people cry and whine over the slightest struggle or inconvenience. Everything is a “trauma.” Everything is a crisis. Meanwhile Scott Adams announced his own impending death with calm and courage and clarity. A lot of people are more dramatic about mean comments on the internet than he was about his terminal cancer. He is providing a tremendous example for us all. The final service he is doing for our country. I’m grateful for it, and for him.

Today I had conversations about Islam and Islamism with three people: a think tank director, a former U.S. ambassador, and a current congressman.

The think tank director and the ambassador both insisted that Islamism is distinct from Islam.

The congressman, who’s relatively new, unorthodox, and refreshingly unconcerned with political correctness, said: “There’s no Islamism. There’s only Islam.”

I know that within a few years, he’ll likely fall in line with the mainstream and adopt the term Islamism.

All three of these individuals are doing incredible work confronting Islamic jihad for sure. They’re sharp, committed, and genuinely trying to protect Western values and institutions.

However, what they’re doing will only ever scratch the surface.

As long as the sacred texts themselves remain off-limits, protected from criticism and elevated beyond scrutiny, no real transformation will happen.

Until the foundational sources of Islamic doctrine are put on trial, not metaphorically, but intellectually, theologically, and politically, the ideology will remain untouched, and the victories will remain temporary.
