Blood flow remains normal until the plaque “pimple” ruptures. The healing process includes a blood clot, and if the clot is big enough, that’s what blocks the artery. The cosmetic-surgery approach to coronary arteries–making them look nice with balloons and stents–doesn’t really work....

But many restaurant chains, including fast-food venues, are open on some federal holidays, including New Year’s Day. In 2022, New Year’s Day is on a Saturday. When a holiday lands on a Saturday in any given year, it is generally observed on the Friday before it. So New Year’s Day in 2022 was observed on December 31 in 2021. Some locations may be offering limited services due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and have safety measures in place, such as mask requirements and reduced store capacity and hours....

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said that 33-year-old Andrew Atkerson was taken to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility after he was arrested and charged for allegedly injuring his 9-year-old son.

The four kidnapped missionaries also had two other family members kidnapped, but they were released a few weeks earlier.

“Look at me, bro,” he said in the video, which was posted by KABC-TV, a local television news station. “Look at me.

“You can trust respected medical authorities. I believe I’m one of them. So, I think you can trust me,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said. “I would stick with respected medical authorities who have a track record of telling the truth, who have a track record of giving information and policy and recommendations based on scientific evidence and good data.” Indirectly rebuking President Donald Trump’s repeated—and inaccurate—claims that the United States’ surge in coronavirus infections was at the hands of increased testing, Dr....

insists that “Germany is and remains a foreigner-friendly country.” He’s wrong. Throughout their history Germans have grappled with the “Jewish problem,” the “Polish problem,” the “Turkish problem” and now the “asylum problem,” all the while ignoring the more profound German problem underneath. Kohl and many of his compatriots cling to the fiction that “Germany is not an immigrant country.” But nearly a million newcomers, including 256,000 asylum-seekers, arrived last y alone, and almost 3 million in the five previous years....

Wray on Tuesday said that domestic terrorism cases have “exploded” since the spring of 2020 from about 1,000 investigations to around 2,700 from individuals motivated by racial and political grievances. There was also concern of other Westerners being inspired to commit acts of violence, and officials warned that the U.S. would need to be prepared to deal with an increase in extremist activity domestically and abroad. “We are concerned that, with developments in Afghanistan—among other things—that there will be more inspiration to the first bucket,” Wray said of the international terrorism threat....
