https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/14/opinions/bill-barr-shameful-legacy-honig/index.htmlBarr took a principled stand earlier this month when he publicly refuted President Donald Trump's nonsensical claims about widespread election fraud. But Barr did so only after nearly two years of frequently lying to the American public, twisting the law beyond reason, trampling longstanding Justice Department norms and principles, and aggressively using the Justice Department to carry out President Donald Trump's political agenda. Let there be no mistake about his legacy: Barr has degraded and corrupted the Justice Department like no attorney general in recent history.
In retrospect, Barr told us who he was even before he took the job, when he sent an unsolicited letter to the Justice Department pre-judging Robert Mueller's obstruction of justice investigation, calling it "fatally misconceived." Sure enough, Barr eventually distorted Mueller's findings to the public so grievously that the normally reserved Mueller took the dramatic step of writing a letter calling out Barr. Mueller noted that Barr's summary letter "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office's work and conclusions."
A federal judge hearing a dispute about the Justice Department's redactions to the Mueller report agreed, finding that Barr's public "inconsistencies" with the Mueller report "cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump..." The judge pointedly noted Barr's "lack of candor," which "call[s] into question Attorney General Barr's credibility."
Barr's tanking of the Mueller report was his original sin, but it also was only an opening act. During his tenure, Barr intervened in politically charged cases, undermining his own Justice Department prosecutors by selectively seeking unwarranted leniency for Trump political allies Roger Stone and Michael Flynn.

More wine and cheese may help reduce cognitive decline, fight Alzheimer's disease
More wine and cheese may help reduce cognitive decline, fight Alzheimer’s disease

AMES, Iowa — If the sight of a cheese platter and some good wine at a party brings you sheer delight, researchers from Iowa State University have great news for you and your brain! Their study reveals this popular pairing may actually contribute to better cognitive health as you age. Researchers say this is the first large-scale report which finds that specific foods can help fight Alzheimer’s disease.
The study examined health records for nearly 1,800 adults between 46 and 77 years-old in the United Kingdom. Participants, who are all part of the biomedical database UK Biobank, completed a Fluid Intelligence Test (FIT) at the start of the study between 2006 and 2010. The group then had two follow-up assessments in 2012-13 and 2015-16. All of these tests gave researchers a snapshot of the group’s ability to “think on the fly” as they aged.
The 1,787 participants also answered questions about their food and alcohol consumption during each of these three examinations. Study authors wanted to know about a wide variety of dietary choices each person was making over the years. Participants were polled on their consumption of various foods and beverages, including: fresh fruit, dried fruit, raw vegetables, salad, cooked vegetables, oily fish, lean fish, processed meat, poultry, beef, lamb, pork, cheese, bread, cereal, tea, coffee, beer, cider, red wine, white wine, champagne, and liquor each participant consumed.
The results reveal a surprising diet that may form an unlikely defense against cognitive decline later in life. Researchers discovered cheese provides the most protection against age-related cognitive issues. Its impact is significantly greater than any other food in the report.
The study also finds consuming alcohol daily, particularly red wine, can improve cognitive function as you age. While red meat continues to be a dietary concern, researchers say eating lamb weekly can increase mental prowess over the long haul.
One thing researchers find is not good for long-term brain function is excessive use of salt. They add people who are already at risk for Alzheimer’s disease are likely the only ones who need to strictly watch their salt intake.
