An “important breakthrough” in Alzheimer’s disease treatment may soon be forthcoming. Local doctor Gerard Nuovo, MD recently published a study revealing encouraging results using an existing drug and mice.

An estimated seven million people in the US suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Although some treatments are available, they are expensive, may slow the disease down a bit, but offer no cure. Some have potentially negative side effects. 

The study is considered “pre-clinical” because drugs must be tested in animals before they can be tested in people. Surprisingly, mouse models of Alzheimer's disease are extensively used in research. They are valuable because the mouse brain has the actual human gene that can cause Alzheimer's disease. 

In human Alzheimer's disease, certain proteins called “BCL2 family proteins” concentrate in the damaged neurons. A mouse model of the disease involves giving mice the human gene that causes Alzheimer’s then administering a drug to block the BCL2 protein.

The Free Press does not make a habit of posting links to articles readily available elsewhere. This is an exception. On Judge Napolitano podcast “Judging Freedom” he interviews former weapons inspector Scott Ritter. About 20 minutes in, Ritter begins to discuss the nuclear arms race with respect to Trump's comments suggesting he can negotiate a treaty in order to reduce our nuclear arsenal.

Ritter says that this is a “Paradigm shifting that we all should support”. Napolitano asks Ritter about the Military Industrial Complex expected push back on Trump's offer to reduce military spending and reduce nuclear weapon. Ritter suggests Trump will castrate the MI complex, and that he has already succeeded in removing deep state obstacles.

Ritter says, and I agree, that this is a “Dream come true”, and points out that there is a “revolution taking place”. T Scott suggests that Trump has already castrated the MI Complex, and that he will be able to put America on a path to achieve peace.

It is Presidents’ Day, and President Donald Trump has made a bold statement regarding military spending—one that no other president in modern history has made. He claims he could cut the Pentagon budget by about 50%.

President Trump has suggested a major cut in defense spending, proposing that the United States, Russia, and China each reduce their military budgets by 50%. He has also expressed a desire to begin denuclearization and arms control discussions with both Russia and China to accomplish this objective.

Military contractors poured $4,440,605 into Kamala Harris’s campaign—more than double what they contributed to Donald Trump. Yet, even with the support of establishment figures like Dick Cheney, their favored candidate fell short. The defeat of the military contractor’s candidate may have consequences for the industry.

Now, with President Trump in office and a bold initiative to cut Pentagon spending by 50%, the defense industry faces a challenge unlike any before.
