Pregnant women who take Xanax and Valium are at least 40 percent MORE likely to miscarry, new research suggests

Popular anti-anxiety medication could be putting more than 1 million pregnant women at risk of miscarriage, a new study suggests.

Researchers from Taiwan studied more than 3 million pregnancies in 2 million women and found 4.4 percent - or 136,130 - resulted in miscarriages.

They analyzed the medical history of all the women studied, and found those prescribed a class of drug called benzodiazepines - used to treat anxiety, depression and insomnia - were, on average, 70 percent more likely to miscarry compared to those who didn't take the pills.

Benzodiazepines, also called benzos, are a group of sedative drugs. The most well known medications include Xanax, Valium, Ativan and Klonopin.

A Political and Legal Escalation Around the Clintons and Epstein

Image
  What’s real right now is a political and legal escalation around the Clintons and Epstein , but the “referred to DOJ for arrest” line you’re seeing is mostly a spin on a narrower, procedural step. Here’s how it breaks down in plain terms: The House Oversight Committee , chaired by Rep. James Comer , has issued subpoenas for Bill and Hillary Clinton to sit for depositions about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, along with subpoenas to the Department of Justice for Epstein-related records.  These subpoenas are part of a broader Epstein investigation on Capitol Hill, not a criminal indictment. Congress is demanding testimony and documents; DOJ is being compelled to turn over files.  The Clintons have so far refused to appear for the requested depositions, which has triggered talk among some Republicans about treating them like Steve Bannon was treated (i.e., contempt of Congress referrals to DOJ if they keep defying subpoenas).  This is where th...

Donald Trump has not been criminally implicated or charged in Epstein’s sex-trafficking crimes based on the evidence released so far.

 He is heavily associated with Epstein in the records  and emails, but investigators say they have found  no proof of Trump committing  a crime with Epstein. Political commentator Jack Cocchiarella reacts to the latest Trump Epstein scandal. Trump PANICS As Fox Host ADMITS Epstein CHILD CRIMES On Air! Here’s the breakdown. 1. What the official investigations say A recent DOJ/FBI memo reviewing the Epstein case states there is no evidence of a “ client list ,” blackmail operation, or additional uncharged co-conspirators that they can credibly pursue.  When the DOJ and FBI release a memo insisting there is “no evidence” of a client list, no blackmail network, and no additional co-conspirators to pursue, many observers question whether the statement reflects the truth or simply the limits of what the government is willing to acknowledge. The Epstein case has always operated in the shadows of powerful interests, with sealed files , destroyed records , and...

Twisting the Word: The Hidden Danger Behind Newsom’s Use of Scripture

Image
In recent months, the California Democrat’s public language has taken on an unmistakably biblical tone. Even his mocking “patriot shop” — created to parody the merchandise sold by President Donald Trump to fund his political efforts — includes a Bible for sale, though it remains permanently “sold out” as part of the long-running joke. Newsom has long pointed to his Catholic upbringing as a guiding force in certain decisions, most notably citing his faith as the motivation for halting state executions in 2019, one of his earliest major actions as governor. He has also, on occasion, mentioned his Jesuit education at Santa Clara University. But the explicit, repeated invocation of scripture is something new, emerging only in the past few months as a consistent element of his messaging. “It has become a much more frequent reference point for him,” said Dan Schnur, a longtime Republican political operative and professor at UC Berkeley. This rhetorical shift comes at the same time Newsom ...
