How do some folks stay active well into their 70’s, 80’s, and even 90’s… enjoying all kinds of activities like hiking, gardening, and golfing… …while others find themselves hobbling down stairs… or needing to rock back and forth just to get out of a chair? Well, according to a new breakthrough discovery by Harvard University, scientists now know it comes down to a hidden culprit that dries out your joints from the inside… And when this “drought” is addressed, it not only soothes joint discomfort and everyday aches… but may actually help joints feel younger and more mobile than they have in years. The good news? Doing this is easy, affordable, and takes just 5 seconds a day. There’s Just One Problem For decades, doctors blamed joint discomfort on “wear and tear.” Then came inflammation. Then cartilage loss. Millions of people tried ice packs, cortisone shots, collagen powders, and green-lipped mussels — hoping something would click. But according to Dr. Karanastasis — a former obesity researcher at the Harvard-affiliated BIDMC — these conventional explanations are missing the forest for the trees. He says the real reason joints get harder to move as we age has less to do with damage… and more to do with dehydration. How “Joint Drought” Sneaks Up After 50 Dr. K calls it the Joint Drought — a slow, invisible drying-out of the joints that begins in our 40s and 50s and accelerates every decade thereafter. Think of your joints like shock absorbers. When you’re young, they’re full of thick, slippery fluid that lets you move, bend, and twist with ease. But as we age, that fluid starts to disappear. The cushioning thins. The joints feel dry… stiff… brittle. “Most people aren’t losing cartilage,” he says. “They’re losing hydration. Their joints are drying out from the inside.” This explains why you can stretch and strengthen all you want — but still feel creaky, heavy, or stuck. Why This Isn’t Your Fault (And What Most People Miss) The truth is, most advice out there targets the symptoms, not the cause. They try to cover up the discomfort or reduce swelling — but do little to address the underlying drought inside the joint. And by the time most people notice it, the damage is already underway. That’s why when seniors begin using this simple, daily trick to rehydrate their joints, their recovery can be quite dramatic. This Doctor’s Method Is Helping Thousands To date, more than 180,547 people have tried this with life-changing results… Ordinary folks who were once couch-bound are now walking a few miles per day again… Others have resumed exercise classes they were once forced to give up. And some have even started long-distance jogging after decades of sitting on the sidelines. Dr. K recently recorded a short presentation which explains exactly what joint drought is — and how this 5-second trick can help beat it starting today. His video quickly went viral, racking up more than seven million views. And thousands of folks around the country are singing the praises of this method across social media. One Woman’s Story: “I Thought I Was Done Walking” Take Joan, a retired schoolteacher from Michigan. She was waking up stiff, struggling to get up from her recliner, and saying no to walks with her grandkids. Within weeks of trying Dr. K’s method, she reported being more flexible, quicker on her feet, and even able to tackle stairs without gripping the railing. “It’s like someone put oil back in my knees,” she said. Karen Potter from Tremont, Pennsylvania said, “I can hardly believe it. I have been able to start back walking daily and I have not been able to do that in months and months.” Kay Gilbert from Athens, Alabama wrote, “I’m 73 and feel like running all over the place again. My kids say I outshop them in Walmart.” And Robert Hennings from Castle Rock, Colorado exclaimed, “Back to walking the dog and hiking… 81 years old.” Now, what about you? Could your joints use some relief? How would you like to take back control of your life without complex procedures or breaking the bank?

Republicans in the last decade have had a hard time winning tight elections when President Trump is not on the ticket. And that was the case again in a state house race in Georgia on Tuesday. Democrats on Tuesday were able to snag a house seat in a special election held in Georgia’s house district 121. The Hill reported more details on how Republicans lost a seat in Georgia: Democrats flipped a state House seat in a red-leaning district in Georgia on Tuesday, delivering the party another notable win heading into next year’s midterms. Democrat Eric Gisler defeated Republican Mack Guest IV in the special election in Georgia’s House District 121, according to Decision Desk HQ. Gisler’s victory is a major upset, as President Trump won the district by 12 points last year, Decision Desk HQ data shows. Still, Democrats were hopeful they could secure a win after a string of successful November elections — including flipping two seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission in November, sending shock waves through the state’s political circles — followed by an overperformance in a Tennessee special election earlier this month. It was the second big win for the party Tuesday night; earlier, Democrats flipped the Miami mayor’s office, breaking GOP control for the first time since 1997. The victories will put more wind in Democrats’ sails as they look toward next year’s midterms, when they hope an energized voter base and a messaging emphasizing affordability will help them flip the House and potentially the Senate.

TODAY: D+2 (12K votes)2024: R+22 (32K total votes) pic.twitter.com/tldPwr0IEl — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 10, 2025 Democrats also pulled an upset in the Miami mayoral race, per NPR: Democrat Eileen Higgins won the Miami mayor’s race on Tuesday, defeating a Republican endorsed by President Donald Trump to end her party’s nearly three-decade losing streak and give Democrats a boost in one of the last electoral battles ahead of the 2026 midterms. Higgins, 61, will be the first woman to lead the city of Miami. She spoke frequently in the Hispanic-majority city about Trump’s immigration crackdown, saying she has heard of many people in Miami who were worried about family members being detained. She campaigned as a proud Democrat despite the race being officially nonpartisan and beat Trump-backed candidate Emilio Gonzalez, a former city manager, who said he called Higgins to congratulate her. “We are facing rhetoric from elected officials that is so dehumanizing and cruel, especially against immigrant populations,” Higgins told The Associated Press after her victory speech. “The residents of Miami were ready to be done with that.” With nearly all votes counted Tuesday, Higgins led the Republican by about 19 percentage points. The local race is not predictive of what may happen at the polls next year. But it drew attention from the two major national political parties and their leaders. The victory provides Democrats with some momentum heading into a high-stakes midterm election when the GOP is looking to keep its grip in Florida, including in a Hispanic-majority district in Miami-Dade County. The area has shifted increasingly rightward politically in recent years, and the city may become the home of Trump’s presidential library.

The topic of artificial intelligence has fueled both fear and excitement across almost every sector of our society, including the military. While skeptics are concerned about the ramifications of taking humans out of the equation in war, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sought to put those fears to rest. He recently unveiled a new AI-powered tool that he says will accentuate the top-tier training US service members already receive. Before we get into the specifics, check out what Hegseth had to say in his own words: Here’s the same video clip as a backup: WAR SEC. HEGSETH: U.S. MILITARY TO USE POWERFUL AI TO BOOST LETHALITY AND WIN FUTURE WARS Imagine if the U.S. military got a super-smart digital teammate that never sleeps. That’s basically what GenAI-mil is: a new platform that lets American soldiers use powerful AI to… pic.twitter.com/G8pDTURQLo — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) December 9, 2025 The Department of War provided its own direct report about the development: Visitors to the site will find that what’s available now is a specialized version of the Google AI tool Gemini, Gemini for Government. This version is approved to handle controlled unclassified information. A green banner at the top of the page reminds users of what can and can’t be shared on the site. In addition to Gemini for Government, the site indicates that other American-made frontier AI capabilities will be available soon. “There is no prize for second place in the global race for AI dominance,” said Emil Michael, undersecretary of war for research and engineering. “We are moving rapidly to deploy powerful AI capabilities like Gemini for Government directly to our workforce. AI is America’s next manifest destiny, and we’re ensuring that we dominate this new frontier.” Access to the site is available only to personnel with a common access card and who are on the War Department’s nonclassified network. When GenAI was asked, “How will you help the Department of War achieve its mission,” through a user prompt, it replied with a list of capabilities, including, among other things, creating and refining documents, analyzing information, processing and analyzing satellite images, and even auditing computer code for security purposes. “I can support the DOW’s mission by providing a range of capabilities designed for a secure, high-impact environment,” GenAI replied. “I am ready to support your mission requirements.” A range of social media reactions touched on both the opportunities and risks of such a program: AI in defense could be a game changer — Lina (@LinaCrypto_) December 9, 2025 The military is embracing AI in a big way. https://t.co/yfXif0SHMm could significantly enhance capabilities, but it also raises big questions about ethics, oversight, and the future of warfare. — JusticeInFocus (@ellwahabb) December 9, 2025 Axios also provided some details that might help ease some concerns among critics: Zoom in: Google Cloud said in a press release that employees can use Gemini for Government for “unclassified work,” such as personnel onboarding, automating administrative tasks and accelerating contract workflows. None of the Defense Department’s data will be used to train Google’s public models, the company added. The big picture: The Defense Department has been rapidly embracing the new generative AI era. Emil Michael, the department’s chief technology officer, told reporters at the Defense Writers Group on Monday that he envisions AI tools being used to speed up day-to-day administrative tasks, analyze intelligence, model and simulate conflict. In the coming “days and weeks,” Michael told reporters, “we’re going to start pushing deployment of these capabilities directly to the 3 million users at the Pentagon at different classification levels.” Reality check: The Pentagon was already experimenting with generative AI across its offices and military branches, and Google unveiled a $200 million-ceiling contract with the department in July to deploy its frontier AI tools. And here’s what Hegseth said over the weekend about the possibility of replacing human service members with AI-powered robots:

Elon Musk just did an interview with Katie Miller, the wife of Stephen Miller, on her podcast. Katie asked him a lot of really good questions. At one point, she asked him who the funniest person he’s met in real life is, and Elon Musk did not hesitate… President Trump. Watch Elon’s full response here: Here is the original post ELON: TRUMP IS EFFORTLESSLY FUNNY Katie Miller: “Who’s the funniest person you know in real life?” Elon: “President Trump is very funny.

It’s now been exactly one year since Luigi Mangione was arrested for the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. As part of his ongoing court trial, police have just released the bodycam footage of his arrest to the public. The clip shows police approaching Mangione at the McDonald’s where he was arrested. Mangione lies about his name and gives officers a fake ID. Watch the newly-released footage for yourself right here: Mangione is pleading not guilty on all charges. That footage looks pretty incriminating to me, though… The clip was shown in court earlier this week before it was released to the public. The New York Post has more: The release of the footage came on the fifth day of a pretrial hearing to determine if evidence collected by the Altoona police can be shown at Mangione’s murder trial in Manhattan. Tuesday also was the one-year anniversary of Mangione’s arrest. Mangione is accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street, sparking a furious five-day manhunt for him last year that stretched hundreds of miles. Mangione, a former prep-school valedictorian, University of Pennsylvania graduate and scion of a wealthy Maryland family, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including at the state and federal level. Altoona authorities’ role in the capture of Mangione has come to the forefront over the past two weeks because officers collected troves of pivotal evidence in the case, including the alleged murder weapon, a silencer, a loaded magazine and a so-called manifesto found in his backpack. Mangione’s legal team wants the items tossed, claiming police needed a warrant at the time of the search while the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said officers’ conduct was allowed. Bodycam footage of the cops’ encounter with Mangione was previously viewed in Manhattan court last week before it was released to the public Tuesday. What is your opinion?
