The United States will deploy more bombers, fighter jets and warships to the Middle East in a bid to enhance its military posture as a carrier strike group prepares to depart, the Pentagon said on Friday.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered the deployment of ballistic missile defense destroyers, fighter squadron and tanker aircraft, and several B-52 long-range strike bombers to the region. The Pentagon did not specify the number of troops that will be deployed as part of these changes. Ryder said in August that there are approximately 40,000 U.S. service members stationed in the region.

The United States has sought to boost its military presence in the region as Israel continued its ground offensive operation against Hamas in Gaza while also retaliating against Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. (Full Story)

A doctor’s struggle with migraines led to a surprising remedy: confronting his everyday lies.

Dr. Jonathan Corson recently began sharing with his patients how cultivating virtues, such as gratitude, could significantly ease their health problems. As he left his office one day, Corson felt exhausted after a week of non-stop work and little rest. Grappling with one of his unyielding migraines that medication seemed unable to touch, he found himself pondering his own advice.

The throbbing pain reminded him of his human frailty and that, even as a doctor, he was not immune to illness. This acute discomfort prompted a profound self-reflection unlike anything he had previously experienced. Corson took great pride in his ability to listen and offer advice for what went beyond physical symptoms, daring to delve into the moral and ethical aspects of his patients’ lives. But as he reflected, a nagging question surfaced: “Am I practicing what I preach?”

The journey this question prompted led him to discover a remedy to the pain medicine couldn’t resolve. Our colleagues, Robert Backer Ph.D., Makai Allbert, and Yuhong Dong M.D., Ph.D., have a fascinating account about the discovery.

Mr. Li Hongzhi is a four-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and was nominated by the European Parliament for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. He is also the recipient of Freedom House’s International Religious Freedom Award.
