Our top 10 covers of Black Sabbath songs present a list of wonderful versions of songs originally and always known as Black Sabbath classics. For this list, we were very careful to pay tribute to the band by only picking songs delivered in renditions that maintained the same style of savage music. There have been countless artists who have covered Black Sabbath songs, and some of them have done it in a way that could make you cringe. There was just no way we were going to include a remake of a song like “War Pigs” as a ballad, dance The post Top 10 Covers Of Black Sabbath Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

In a highly-anticipated world-first, the Texas Heart Institute has successfully implanted an artificial titanium heart that uses the same technology as bullet trains to pump blood mechanically throughout the body. Called the Total Artificial Heart (TAH), the feat is seen as a major step in keeping people alive for longer and longer periods while they […] The post Titanium Maglev Heart Implanted Successfully in a Patient for First Time May Help Others Waiting for a Transplant appeared first on Good News Network.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A team leader at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended approving “puberty blockers” for teens who identify as transgender even while noting that a recent study showed these drugs are associated with an “increased risk in depression and suicidality.” Many activists claim that children struggling with gender dysphoria (the persistent condition of identifying with the gender opposite their biological sex) must receive experimental drugs to make their bodies resemble bodies of the opposite sex to stop them from committing suicide, yet the FDA study suggested these drugs actually increase the risk of suicide. In one email on Jan. 25, 2022, Shannon Sullivan, clinical team leader at the FDA’s Division of General Endocrinology, noted that the agency’s Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products performed a “safety review of the GnRH agonist class in pediatric patients in 2016/2017.” GnRH stands for “Gonadatropin-releasing hormone,” and GnRH agonists prevent the natural release of testosterone and estrogen that initiate puberty. The conservative nonprofit America First Legal obtained the email in the discovery process of a lawsuit and made it available to The Daily Signal. “Our review focused on suicidal ideation/depression, seizures, and bone health,” Sullivan wrote in the email. Although most of the minors in the study suffered from central precocious puberty (in which puberty starts too early), “a handful were transgender kids using the drugs off-label.” “We found no effect on bone (after factoring in catch-up growth), including no increase in fracture risk,” she noted. “We did find increased risk of depression and suicidality, as well as increased seizure risk and we issued [safety-related labeling changes].” Yet Sullivan went on to recommend approving GnRH agonists for minors. The FDA’s Division of Urology, Obstetrics, and Gynecology, she wrote, “has done a patient listening session with trans kids and separately with trans adults, which I participated in, and there is definitely a need for these drugs to be approved for gender transition, as they are typically not covered by insurance and are expensive out of pocket.” Sullivan also said that “no company has come in” to provide “GnRH agonists in the transgender population” yet, but “it was my understanding” that the FDA division “would take these applications if and when they do come in.” Screenshot of FDA official Shannon Sullivan’s email. “It is shocking and unacceptable that the FDA would admit that puberty blockers cause suicidal ideation and depression, yet in the same breath recommend their approval for transgender ‘medical’ procedures for children,” Ian Prior, senior adviser at America First Legal, told The Daily Signal. “The advocates of these brutal practices on children claim that they are necessary to prevent suicide and depression, but in reality, the treatments themselves cause the very thing they claim they are trying to prevent,” Pryor added. “This barbarism has no place in a civilized society and it’s time for the federal government to follow the lead of Europe in banning these experiments on children.” America First Legal sued the Food and Drug Administration for illegally concealing records related to the off-label use of “puberty blockers” and cross-sex hormones on children. The organization also filed a Freedom of Information Act request for all FDA records regarding the off-label use of “puberty blockers” and other drugs on children to provide “gender-affirming care,” a euphemistic term for experimental interventions to make young men appear female and vice versa. “Puberty blockers” and cross-sex hormones can cause sterilization and other serious side effects including depression, blood clots, high blood pressure, and weight gain. Internal documents from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which presents itself as the premier source on “gender-affirming care,” reveal that medical doctors who support experimental “treatments” for children have acknowledged that side effects include liver cancer in teens and reduced sexual function. They have also expressed concern about the lack of informed consent for procedures with lifelong impacts. Some doctors prescribe Lupron, a drug also used to chemically castrate sex offenders, to make young boys appear female. The Food and Drug Administration has approved GnRH agonists for central precocious puberty but not for gender dysphoria. The FDA didn’t turn over requested documents in the timely manner required by law, so America First Legal sued. Sullivan’s email is among the documents the nonprofit obtained. Sullivan originally sent the email as FDA staff discussed how to respond to a media request from Reuters reporter Chad Terhune. Terhune had asked about “puberty blocking drugs,” noting that such drugs have been “approved for central precocious puberty but [are] also used off-label for transgender children.” The post BOMBSHELL FDA Email Turns Transgender ‘Health Care’ Narrative on Its Head appeared first on The Daily Signal.

A number of Fortune 500 companies that publicly condemned the Jan. 6 Capitol riot have remained silent following the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. An analysis conducted by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project found that eight Fortune 500 companies issued statements condemning the January 2021 Capitol riot, but stayed silent over the July 13 attempt on Trump’s life. Those companies are AT&T, Boeing, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, McDonald’s, PayPal, Starbucks, and Visa. None of them responded to requests for comment from The Daily Signal. ?CORPORATE RADICALISM?These globalist companies had a lot to say about January 6th but have been silent on the near assassination of President TrumpDo you send your money to them?? pic.twitter.com/RukE1bTN6u— Oversight Project (@OversightPR) July 31, 2024 “Color me completely unsurprised that the leaders of woke corporate America took no public issue with the attempted assassination of President Trump,” Oversight Project Director Mike Howell told The Daily Signal. “Patriotic Americans should remember the silence and double standards of the globalist elites.”  Their silence now comes as the leaders of other Fortune 500 companies, such as Cisco’s Chuck Robbins, expressed their sympathy to Trump and the other victims of the attack in Butler, Pennsylvania, including firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was tragically killed by one of the gunman’s bullets that day. My prayers are with President Trump, the other victims of the senseless shooting and their families. There is simply no rationale for this violence.— Chuck Robbins (@ChuckRobbins) July 14, 2024 When Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, many Fortune 500 companies were quick to issue statements condemning the riot. Boeing, one of the companies that has not issued a statement on the Trump assassination attempt, released a statement from its president and CEO, David Calhoun, that addressed “defending democracy here, and around the world.” “In the spirit of bipartisanship, we encourage them to work with President-elect [Joe] Biden to unify our nation,” the statement said of elected officials. From our President and CEO David Calhoun: pic.twitter.com/keaYFva3G6— The Boeing Company (@Boeing) January 7, 2021 McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski described the Jan. 6 incident as “an attack on all those things that people cherish and associate with America,” adding: “That includes McDonald’s.”  “The violent unrest we’re witnessing in our nation’s capital is both shocking and disturbing,” wrote PayPal CEO Dan Schulman at the time. “It violates the very foundation of our democracy.” “Following an election in which we saw record excitement and turnout among Americans, we must unite together to move forward as a nation,” he added. “I urge leaders from both sides of the aisle to take a stand and call for the violence to end. Now, more than ever, we need to foster an environment of inclusion and healing, where we listen to each other, respect each other, and keep our country as a beacon for democracy.” Coca-Cola issued a statement calling the day an “offense to the ideals of American democracy.” A Starbucks news release on the riot condemned it as a “disruption to American democracy.” Visa’s then- CEO, Alfred Kelly Jr., posted on LinkedIn that it was “one of the lowest points in our 245-year history as a nation.” https://t.co/dsNXzLzuae pic.twitter.com/DPWhfbxa0R— The Coca-Cola Co.
