US Ambassador: “El Mayo” Zambada Kidnapped, Taken to Texas Against His Will

More news - Latest news U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar has made some startling claims about the arrest of notorious drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. According to Salazar, Zambada was forcibly flown to Texas on a private plane against his will. The diplomat clarified that the operation was not authorized or conducted by U.S. authorities and that it was Joaquín Guzmán López, son of the jailed former leader of the Sinaloa cartel, who allegedly facilitated Zambada's transfer. Salazar hinted at a possible deal between the two cartel figures. The joint arrest of Zambada and Guzmán López on July 25 sparked intense speculation. While Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador had suggested the possibility of a covert U.S. operation, Salazar has categorically denied any U.S. invol...

Blood Clotting Risk Doubles With Erythritol Consumption: Insights From Pilot Study

More news - Recent news A recent pilot study found that drinking a beverage containing erythritol (an artificial sweetener used to boost the content of stevia and monk fruit and to sweeten low-carb ketogenic products) more than doubled the risk of blood clots in 10 healthy individuals. Blood clots can break off from blood vessels and travel to the heart, triggering a heart attack, or the brain, causing a stroke. Previous research has linked erythritol to an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, and death. Dr. Stanley Hazen, lead author of the study and director of the Cardiovascular Diagnostic and Prevention Center at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute, noted that "remarkably, in all subjects, all measures of platelet (blood clotting) response were increased afte...

Former Trump Executive Clears Up Misunderstandings Over Willie Brown Helicopter Crash

Related media - Breaking news Barbara Res, former executive vice president of construction and development for the Trump Organization, recently clarified a false claim made by Donald Trump about a helicopter ride in the 1990s. Trump claimed that he was accompanied by Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco, during an emergency helicopter landing. However, according to Res, that was not the case. Speaking to Ali Vitali on MSNBC, Res explained that the incident occurred while they were engaged with various political figures on a major development project in California. “One of the key figures was Nate Holden, a former California state senator, not Willie Brown,” Res said. During a press conference Thursday, Trump recalled the flight, describing a tense emergency landing and ...

Historic losing streak in major US sports: White Sox narrowly miss victory

Related media - Breaking news The Chicago White Sox recently circumvented an ignoble record that most teams would rather avoid at all costs. Last Tuesday, they claimed a victory over the Oakland Athletics, snapping a 21-game losing streak that tied the American League record and stood as the second-longest in Major League Baseball history. The team was dangerously close, just two losses away, from tying the all-time record set by the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies. The White Sox currently hold a record of 28-88, which translates to a winning percentage of .241. That's a little better than their all-time low by .006. They're also dangerously on pace to break the single-season record for losses, a dubious honor held by the 1962 New York Mets with 120 losses. Now that the White Sox near-defea...

Meta modifies oversight of Trump’s social media profiles

More news - Latest news Meta is set to change some restrictions previously imposed on the Facebook and Instagram profiles of Donald Trump, the former president of the United States. Initially, in response to his comments praising the actions of those involved in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, Meta suspended Trump’s social media accounts indefinitely. However, in early 2023, these platforms reinstated his accounts with a promise to closely monitor any further infractions that could lead to additional suspensions lasting anywhere from a month to two years. As Trump actively campaigns against current US President Joe Biden, aiming to return to the presidency, Meta has decided to ease the increased scrutiny it previously applied to its accounts. The company expressed in a recent blo...
