Laura Ingraham highlights how former President Donald Trump took down the "sacred cow" of the rules-based international order and put America first with his foreign policy on "The Ingraham Angle."

TRUMP ROLLS OUT 2024 TRADE POLICY THAT WOULD ‘TAX CHINA TO BUILD UP AMERICA,’ REWARD US PRODUCERS

LAURA INGRAHAM: At the end of a week like this, with so many of the world's events having turned against us, we once again arrive at the conclusion that, yes, Trump was right. Now, remember, from the very first months of his presidency, he challenged the staled, old status quo. You know that status quo where America carried the lion's share of the security burden for Europe?

Now, he made it clear that the days were over when the United Nations and other foreign countries could just run roughshod over America's interests. 

…

His common sense message seemed kind of subdued there, didn't he? But it infuriated our sanctimonious scribblers to no end. Trump's takedown of their sacred cow, the rules-based international order. That thing wasn't just wrong, the order — what he said about it was dangerous.

…

The greatest threat to the order was and is the globalist status quo. Even Henry Kissinger understood this — yeah, the man most responsible for America's opening to China in the 1970s. He saw the growing threat of Beijing and how it became so dangerous under President Xi and advised Trump in a series of meetings on ways to box out China by establishing closer ties to Russia. 

Alzheimer’s is a disease of the brain, usually diagnosed through MRI scans and a battery of other tests. 

Researchers, however, have found that the human eye can show early signals of this common form of dementia long before symptoms become apparent.

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, led the study, which was published in the journal Acta Neuropathologica last month.

The researchers analyzed human eyes and brain tissue from 86 deceased patients who had been diagnosed with either Alzheimer’s disease or mild cognitive impairment before they died.

The researchers also compared samples from people who had normal cognitive function to those who had early-stage symptoms and to those who had late-stage Alzheimer’s.

The retinas of the patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease, the researchers found, had an excess amount of amyloid beta 42, a protein that forms the "plaques" that build up in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s. 

Additionally, the retinas contained cells called microglia, which are also associated with progression of the disease.

"We discovered the accumulation of highly toxic proteins in the retinas of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment, causing severe degeneration of cells," said Dr. Yosef Koronyo, research associate in the Cedars-Sinai Department of Neurosurgery and first author of the study, in a statement on the Cedars-Sinai website.

The changes were also detected in patients who did not display any cognitive decline or had only very mild signs, indicating that retinal tests could help enable early diagnosis.

This study is the most comprehensive analysis of the human retina in terms of how it relates to the brains and cognitive functions of Alzheimer’s patients.

That's according to Maya Koronyo-Hamaoui, PhD, professor of neurosurgery, neurology and biomedical sciences at Cedars-Sinai, in a statement.

"These findings may eventually lead to the development of imaging techniques that allow us to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier and more accurately, and monitor its progression non-invasively by looking through the eye," said Koronyo-Hamaoui, senior author of the study.

More than six million Americans currently have Alzheimer’s, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. 

The disease is expected to affect 12.7 million people by 2050 as the population ages.

"The population of people age 65 and older is expected to grow from 58 million in 2021 to 88 million in 2050," Nicole Purcell, DO, general neurologist and senior director of clinical practice at the Alzheimer's Association in Chicago, Illinois, told Fox News Digital in an earlier interview.
