Psilocybin mushrooms, better known as “magic mushrooms,” have reportedly helped one advanced Alzheimer’s patient regain her ability to speak. A recent Frontiers in Neuroscience case report indicates that an elderly Japanese American woman who had been suffering from the disease for nearly a decade had been experiencing severe cognitive decline. She was described as having advanced dementia with symptoms such as limited communication, incontinence and reduced mobility that required the help of caregivers to complete standard daily activities. The woman was given two separate doses of the mushrooms. The first dose was 5 grams, and resulted in profuse sweating and a long “sleep-like state.” About 19 hours after the first dose was administered, researchers claim she “spontaneously initiated autobiographical conversation lasting several hours.” “Over the following days and weeks, the woman experienced restored urinary continence, was able to walk independently and dress herself, and engaged in spontaneous conversation. She was also able to retrieve contextual memories, showed the ability to express emotions and maintained eye contact — smiling with others,” Fox News reported. The second dose, a 3-gram administration, reportedly yielded even better results. The authors note that she exhibited greater capacity for speech, facial expressions and humor along with sustained continence and an increased ability to walk. Aside from the sweating and hyperthermia, she did not have any severe side effects from psilocybin. While there is not a longer-term study done about the effects of “magic mushrooms” on patients with cognitive decline, the anecdotal results appear promising. It should be noted, however, that the study did not have a control group, no cognitive assessments or sleep studies. “The patient’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis was not confirmed with modern biomarkers, and other neurodegenerative conditions could not be completely ruled out, the study stated,” Fox News wrote. “Much more research is needed in

Southern Poverty Law Center interim CEO and President Bryan Fair will be brought before the House to answer for the group’s alleged actions. The House Judiciary Committee will be grilling Fair on Tuesday after the group was hit with an 11-count indictment regarding alleged financial crimes, including “defrauding its donors by concealing payments to members of extremist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, the Aryan Nation and other neo-Nazi groups,” Fox News reported. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, spoke to the outlet on Monday. “There are a lot of legitimate questions about what the SPLC was doing with donor money and how they were using it to basically fund the type of hate that they were pretending to be going after,” he said. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, believes that it is worth investigating the ties between the SLPC and the former Biden administrations’ Department of Justice. “For me, the biggest takeaway is the fact that the Biden White House and the Biden Justice Department helped make the Southern Poverty Law Center the standard,” the lawmaker said to Sean Hannity last week. Indeed, Republicans have long criticized the relationship between the SLPC, which targeted conservative groups and causes with a “hate map,” and the Biden administration which was supposed to represent all Americans, not just leftists. “The purpose of doing that was to basically stifle their ability to get the conservative message out,” Gill accused. But rather than tackling hate, SLPC is accused of funding it. As BizPac Review previously reported, the group is accused of paying “at least $3 million between 2014 and 2023 to eight individuals, including people linked to the Ku Klux Klan and U.S.-based Nazi groups.” From the article: “As the indictment describes, the SPLC was not dismantling these groups;

Republican senators are signaling their support for proposed punishments for sanctuary cities refusing to cooperate with federal authorities. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has proposed yanking Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents out of airports in cities that won’t help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with enforcing federal law. Senator Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, is among those who believe this is a good way to encourage compliance. “I think there should be consequences to cities and states that undercut federal law,” he said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “I think they should pay a price for what they do. I agree with what he’s doing.” “I think it’s a choice that those cities make and they’d have to weigh the consequences of it. If they want to be a sanctuary city, they’ve made that choice and they’re getting a response now from Homeland Security,” said Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Nebraska. “I have no idea what the cities would do,” she added when asked how cities might react to such rules being imposed. “I would hope that their law enforcement would cooperate with ICE. ICE is federal law enforcement. They’re doing their job. They’re following the law.” But not everyone is on board; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has stressed the need for open travel. Many other Republicans, such as Josh Hawley and Lisa Murkowski, are withholding support until they are able to get more details on the secretary’s proposal. Sanctuary Cities need to pay the price for protecting illegal alien criminals. I stand with DHS Secretary Mullin in fighting back against radical left Democrats who are trying to stop ICE and Border Patrol from doing their job and enforce federal law.
