Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley vowed to stay in the Republican Party primary race after losing to her former boss‚ former President Donald Trump‚ in New Hampshire on Tuesday night‚ her second primary loss. The race was called for Trump with less than 20% of the vote counted as the former president enjoyed an 8-9% lead over Haley in a state where she relied on independents‚ moderates‚ and secular voters to boost her. The remaining primary schedule largely favors the former president. “What a great night!” Haley declared while addressing her supporters‚ “God is so good.” After acknowledging that Trump won the primary‚ she said that “the political class” was “falling all over themselves saying this race is over.” “Well‚ I have news for all of them. New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not the last in the nation‚” she said. “This race is far from over. There are dozens of states left to go. And the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina.” Later in the speech‚ Haley said‚ “With Donald Trump‚ Republicans have lost almost every competitive election. We lost the Senate. We lost the House. We lost The White House. We lost in 2018. We lost in 2020. And we lost in 2022. The worst kept secret in politics is how badly the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump. They know Trump is the only Republican in the country who Joe Biden can defeat. You can’t fix the mess if you don’t win an election. A Trump nomination is a Biden win and a Kamala Harris presidency.” “With Donald Trump‚ you have one bout of chaos after another. This court case‚ that controversy‚ this tweet‚ that senior moment‚” she continued. “You can’t fix Joe Biden’s chaos with Republican chaos.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP WATCH:

CNN’s Van Jones responded to Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary — which former President Donald Trump was projected to win with more than 50% of the vote — with a warning to his fellow Democrats. During CNN’s post-primary coverage‚ Jones joined a panel discussion breaking down the results in New Hampshire. There‚ he argued that Republicans’ willingness to push ahead with Trump — in spite of the ongoing cases against him — was proof that they were not worried about any potential threat President Joe Biden might pose in the general election. Jones then pointed to the fact that Trump had won the first two official contests in the Republican primary — last week’s Iowa caucuses‚ which he won with 51% of the vote‚ and the New Hampshire primary election — despite numerous legal woes‚ and he did not appear to be losing support. “Part of what we’re looking at with Trump’s strength‚ his resilience‚ is really a reflection of Biden’s fragility‚” Jones said. “Republicans are not afraid of Joe Biden. They’re not afraid. They don’t think that by putting up somebody this damaged‚ frankly this deranged‚ this many deficits‚ is going to hurt them at all — because the polls show over and over again that even with 978 felonies‚ he’s still neck and neck with Biden.” “And so‚ it’s a worrying sign‚” Jones continued. “You’re correct‚ there are some worrying signs for Trump‚ but there’s pretty worrying signs for Democrats — that they’re not afraid … they’re not afraid.” WATCH: Jones says Trump looks weak by not accepting a debate with a woman:"I do think he looks weak. Basically‚ there's a woman that says 'I want to getcha. I want to debate you.' And he looks weak running from one person." pic.twitter.com/1k4alSDEJq — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 24‚ 2024 Jones then pivoted to say that Trump’s continued refusal to debate — particularly now that the primary field was narrowed down to only himself and former Governor Nikki Haley (R-SC) — was a mistake that made him appear weaker.

I want to debate with you.’ And he looks weak running from one person‚” Jones said‚ arguing that it made sense for Trump to ghost the earlier debates‚ but not to avoid a one-on-one situation. “Say‚ look‚ ‘I don’t want to be involved in the big circus with a bunch of nobodies‚’ but I don’t know that that doesn’t wind up giving her a little bit more to say.”

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) announced on Tuesday following former President Donald Trump’s victory in New Hampshire that he is endorsing the former president. “I have seen enough. To beat Biden‚ Republicans need to unite around a single candidate‚ and it’s clear that President Trump is Republican voters’ choice‚” Cornyn said. “Four more years of failed domestic policies like the Biden Border Crisis and record-high inflation‚ and failed foreign policies that have emboldened our adversaries and made the world a more dangerous place‚ must be stopped.” “I am proud of our accomplishments in President Trump’s first term‚ including the confirmation of 234 federal judges‚ including three members of the United States Supreme Court; passing historic tax reform‚ the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; unleashing our energy potential; and ushering in the best economy for all Americans in my lifetime‚” he continued. “I will be continuing to work to elect a Republican Senate majority and to elect President Trump in 2024.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Cornyn joins dozens of other Republican Senators who have endorsed Trump‚ including Sens.

Former President Donald Trump slammed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Tuesday night in New Hampshire during his victory speech after winning the state’s presidential primary. “I have to tell you‚ it was very interesting because I said‚ ‘Wow‚ what a great victory‚'” Trump said. “But then‚ somebody ran up to the stage all dressed up nicely — when it was at 7. But now I walked up and it said 14.” “She ran up when it was 7‚ and you know‚ we have to do what’s good for our party‚ and she was up and I said‚ ‘Wow‚ she’s doing a speech like she won. She didn’t win. She lost‚'” he continued. “Last week we had a little bit of a problem. If you remember‚ Ron was very upset‚ because she ran up and she pretended she won Iowa.” “And I looked around and I said‚ didn’t she come in third? Yeah‚ she came in third‚” he said. “And then I looked at the polls‚ she was talking about most win-ability. Who is going to win‚ and I have one put up‚ we have won almost every single poll in the last three months against crooked Joe Biden. Almost every poll. And she doesn’t win those polls.” He added that she had a “very bad night” and she shouldn’t be trying to claim a victory in her loss.

You know‚ we won New Hampshire three times now. Three. We win it every time three win the primary‚ we win the generals‚ we’ve won it‚ and it’s a very special place to me. It’s very important. If you remember‚ in 2016‚ we came here and we needed that win and we won by 21 points and it was great.

The House Ethics Committee is reportedly expanding its investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as it has reached out to multiple new witnesses. ABC News reported that the Republican-led Committee has reached out to “individuals who have ties to the initial Justice Department investigation into Gaetz.” The Committee was focusing on possible lobbying violations by Gaetz‚ the report said‚ but after its contact with individuals tied to the DOJ’s criminal investigation‚ the Committee appears to be looking into the “sex trafficking investigation into the Florida congressman‚” the report said. Gaetz responded to ABC News’ report in a statement: “It’s great to see the Ethics Committee has interests beyond trading stocks. They seem to be quite the unusual whales.” The Committee reopened its probe into Gaetz in July 2023 after the DOJ asked it to delay its initial probe into the congressman. The DOJ’s probe ended without no charges against Gaetz. “I was cleared by the Department of Justice and the FBI‚ who looked into my life for years‚” Gaetz said over the summer. “Now‚ I believe that the House Ethics Committee is trying to weaponize their process against me because every once in a while up here I’m a rabble-rouser and I don’t go along to get along. And right now‚ I’m forcing this body to have deal with our debt and our spending.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I think all the days in Congress‚ there are probably in the seven years I’ve been in Congress there have only been tens of days when I haven’t been under one form of ethics investigation or another‚” he added. “I’ve never been found to have violated any ethical laws. I won’t be found to have violated them in this matter either.”

Novelna‚ a biotech company in the United States‚ announced a revolutionary protein-based test that shows promise as a less intrusive and more effective way to screen for 18 different types of cancer in their early stages. The researchers believe their discovery has the potential to be a medical “game changer.” The Novelna team emphasizes the drawbacks of conventional screening tests‚ noting invasiveness‚ cost‚ and limited accuracy for early-stage disorders. According to the researchers‚ their test outperforms existing methods and has “a sensitivity much greater” than the Galleri test now being evaluated in the UK. Unlike prior attempts that relied on tumor DNA‚ Novelna’s test focuses on blood proteins‚ resulting in higher sensitivity and specificity. By analyzing proteins in blood plasma‚ the researchers were able to distinguish cancer samples from normal ones with great accuracy and even identify distinct forms of cancer. The researchers underline the significance of their findings‚ adding‚ “This could re-shape screening guidelines‚ making this plasma test a standard part of routine check-ups.” They anticipate a future in which a “cost-effective‚ highly accurate‚ multi-cancer screening test” is integrated into population healthcare. Unveiling gender-specific cancer protein signals Novelna’s research reveals that cancer protein signals may be gender-specific‚ paving the way for personalized diagnostic techniques. The study‚ published in BMJ Oncology‚ lays the groundwork for a highly accurate multi-cancer screening test that includes all major human organs. “Our sex-specific localization panels consisted of 150 proteins and were able to identify the tissue of origin of most cancers in more than 80 percent of cases‚” the study stated‚ underlining the possibility for a personalized and precise screening strategy. The potential of low-level proteins in early detection After analyzing blood plasma samples from 440 persons diagnosed with 18 different cancers and 44 healthy blood donors‚ Novelna’s team discovered that low-level proteins are critical in detecting pre-cancerous and early-stage disease before significant harm occurs. The researchers emphasize the significance of their findings‚ stating‚ “This shows the importance of low-level proteins to pick up pre-cancerous and early-stage disease.” However‚ they acknowledge the need for bigger sample sizes in future studies to support their findings. Expert opinions and cautionary notes While experts recognize the protein test’s potential‚ they also emphasize the need for further research. According to Dr. Mangesh Thorat‚ who was not involved in the study but is from the Centre for Cancer Prevention at the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine‚ “If the assay performance in future‚ well-designed sequential studies is anywhere close to what this preliminary study suggests‚ then it could really be a gamechanger.” Professor Paul Pharoah‚ a cancer epidemiology expert who was not involved in the study‚ is cautiously optimistic about the findings‚ saying‚ “While the results show some promise‚ it is far too soon to be confident that this test will turn out to be useful for early cancer detection.” Novelna’s protein test represents a substantial advancement in cancer diagnosis‚ providing a viable solution to the limitations of current screening approaches. While cautious optimism surrounds the findings‚ more research is needed to confirm the test’s usefulness on a larger scale.

Vaping may have appeared like a better option than smoking at first‚ but it’s time to acknowledge the health consequences. Vaping can have serious repercussions‚ ranging from exacerbating asthma symptoms to causing shortness of breath and exhaustion. Volunteer spokesperson and board member for the American Lung Association Dr. Juanita Mora emphasizes that “they want to quit because vaping is making their lives worse.” Mora’s thoughts represent a typical motive to quit vaping‚ emphasizing the urgent need for positive change. Setting the stage for success: select a quit date Setting a precise quit date is an effective approach to getting started on your quest to a vape-free life. Megan Jacobs of the Truth Initiative emphasizes the motivational value of having a deadline to work towards. This technique not only holds you accountable but also provides a real indicator of your success. Jacobs goes on to say‚ “It gives people something to work towards‚ it keeps them accountable‚ and it gives them a date to hold on to in their mind.” Brace yourself: navigating the challenges of quitting Quitting vaping has several physical and mental obstacles. Recognizing nicotine withdrawal symptoms‚ such as irritability‚ sleep difficulties‚ and cravings‚ is vital. According to Dr. Mora‚ “Physical and mental cravings peak in the first week and are at their worst in the first 48 hours.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention underline the importance of understanding that withdrawal symptoms are only transitory. Analyzing your triggers: shake up your routine Recognizing when and why you reach for your vape is critical to stopping the habit. Megan Jacobs suggests conducting a thorough review of your routines to form new associations. Engaging in new activities‚ connecting with friends‚ and becoming aware of your triggers can all help you quit successfully. Jacobs underscores the importance of breaking addictive associations‚ stating‚ “You’re maybe not aware of the feelings‚ the people‚ the places‚ or different situations that are cueing your brain.” Keep your hands and mind busy: distraction techniques Painting‚ coloring‚ and knitting are examples of hands-on activities that can be useful distractions. Jacobs recommends grabbing for lozenges‚ lollipops‚ or simply messaging a friend when cravings occur. Distraction strategies have been found as effective tools in the quitting process. Jacobs emphasizes the benefits of distraction‚ stating that people discover new hobbies by employing the time and resources they previously spent on vaping. Exploring nicotine replacement methods Nicotine replacement therapy‚ which is commonly connected with smoking cessation‚ is effective for those who want to quit vaping. The program director for the UCSF Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship Dr. Tauheed Zaman suggests using patches‚ gum‚ lozenges‚ nasal spray‚ or inhalers to treat withdrawal symptoms. Consultation with healthcare professionals ensures that the strategy is appropriate and adapted to the individual’s needs. Dr. Zaman highlights the necessity of treating withdrawal and nicotine dependence and suggests using nicotine replacement therapy for at least three months after quitting. Focus on the positive: mental and health benefits As you embark on this difficult journey‚ remind yourself of the numerous blessings that await you. Improved breathing‚ increased attention‚ less weariness‚ better sleep‚ and a lower chance of long-term lung damage are all strong motivators. Dr. Zaman emphasizes mental health benefits such as increased sleep‚ lower anxiety‚ and an overall improved mood‚ reinforcing the favorable impact of quitting vaping. Do not despair: dealing with relapse Relapse is a normal part of the quitting process; the key is not to give up. It is critical to learn from each attempt and experiment with new tactics. Dr. Zaman promotes resilience‚ saying‚ “Minimize your use as much as possible and start practicing the steps that helped you quit in the first place.” Jacobs repeats the concept‚ noting that relapse is an opportunity to learn what works best for an individual’s specific circumstances. Quitting vaping is difficult‚ but with a strategic strategy‚ support from your network‚ and a tough attitude‚ you can overcome the obstacles. Remember that every try yields significant information‚ and with persistence‚ living a vape-free life becomes a real possibility.  The post Breaking up with your vape: a step-by-step guide to quitting permanently first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.
