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.

In Trump v. CASA, Inc. , decided June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court issued a 6–3 ruling (Majority: Barrett, Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh; Dissent: Sotomayor, Jackson, Kagan) significantly curbing the power of individual federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions—orders that block executive actions across the entire country, not just for the parties involved timesofindia.indiatimes.com +8 theguardian.com +8 wgbh.org +8 sfchronicle.com +8 en.wikipedia.org +8 timesofindia.indiatimes.com +8 .

Staged Arrests and Manufactured Outrage: Is the Anti-ICE Movement Just a Political Theater Script?

Image
Scott Jennings CLASHES With Tara Palmeri,  Says VIOLENCE Is a LEFTWING Problem | RISING When CNN’s Scott Jennings recently described Democrat anti-ICE protests as “porn for their base,” he wasn’t exaggerating—he was peeling back the curtain on a growing tactic: the deliberate use of lawbreaking and confrontation as a tool for public relations, political branding, and campaign fundraising. What looks like resistance is increasingly being seen as a carefully rehearsed performance . Prominent progressive lawmakers and activist influencers are being filmed “resisting” ICE agents, blocking vehicles, or chaining themselves to detention centers—all with camera crews conveniently positioned to catch every dramatic angle. These aren’t spontaneous acts of civil disobedience—they’re made-for-viral moments , ready for social media blasts, donation links, and campaign ad reels by sundown. Critics argue this behavior isn’t just performative—it’s calculated incitement . The goal? Stoke outrage, b...

The Dark Ages - Where did 300 Years Go?

Image
“The Phantom Time Hypothesis: Did 300 Years of History Never Happen?” A growing body of alternative historians and critical chronologists question the conventional timeline of Western civilization, especially surrounding the so-called Dark Ages (circa 614–911 AD). This period, often described as a historical void—where few records, innovations, or artifacts exist—has led some to believe that the missing clarity isn’t due to lost history, but fabricated history . This idea, known as the Phantom Time Hypothesis, suggests that nearly 300 years were artificially inserted into the timeline by medieval rulers, particularly under Holy Roman Emperor Otto III and Pope Sylvester II, to legitimize their reign as taking place during the anticipated “millennium” year—1000 AD. Supporters of this theory point out glaring inconsistencies: architectural styles appearing centuries before their time, gaps in archaeological layers, and duplicated historical records between the Roman and Byzantine periods....
