Lactose intolerant customers beware, Burger King in Thailand is pushing the limits of dairy, dropping a new burger without any patty ... and 20 slices of cheese!!! This ain't a joke -- the Thai extension of the fast food company announced the "Real Cheeseburger" Sunday ... buns filled with nearly 2 dozen slices of American cheese. The chain's social media blast says the cheesy exclusive is only available until Thursday, and it's going for 109 Thai baht -- just over $3 USD. Folks in Thailand apparently couldn't wait to get their hands on a dietician's worst nightmare, with social media...

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) reiterated his "anti-woke" stance in a radio interview Monday morning, claiming, "I'm the only guy running who's been very clear about that issue." The Republican presidential candidate has been criticized by many on the Left and even some on the Right for his focus on "culture wars." But DeSantis insisted that it permeates several different areas of society. "This woke ideology impacts the economy, the military, criminal law, everything," he told South Carolina state Sen. Josh Kimbrell on The Morning Answer. "Our freedom is under assault as woke infects more institutions," he said. "I've defeated the...

Nicholas Strother said he and his friends were kayaking on June 5 when they spotted the moose running at full speed.A video recorded earlier this month shows a terrified moose running along a river in northern Idaho as it tries to escape a truck chasing it from behind. Nicholas Strother told Storyful that he and his friends were kayaking on the Coeur D'Alene River on June 5 when they spotted the moose running at full speed. "We heard a horn honking and a car revving their engine," he said. "We turned to the road and saw the moose running." Idaho...

The risk-taking motorist was spotted pulling the treacherous stunt Sunday on the 91 Freeway in Corona, California, according to KTLA. Video provided to the news station by another motorist shows a man wearing a neon yellow T-shirt, dark pants and a red bandana tied around his head balancing on the ledge of the open window of a car. The thrill-seeker’s entire body can be seen standing up straight outside of what appears to be a blueish-gray Nissan as it barrels down the California freeway. The startling footage then shows the man opening his arms wide as the wind whips his...

LOS ANGELES, CA — After decades of total dominance, the Dallas Cowboys have been dethroned by the Los Angeles Dodgers as the gayest team in all of sports. "It's a real Cinderella story," said Dodgers owner Mark Walter. "Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined us being this gay." Despite humble beginnings, the Dodgers have transformed into a gay juggernaut over the past several years. "We put in the hard, gay work," said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. "Let me tell you--no one outside that locker room believed we could be more gay than the Cowboys. No one! But...

@RepThomasMassie I will NOT vote to require EVERY American to get Biden’s permission if they want to work. Specifically, I’m opposed to E-verify. Giving the federal government more power over YOU is a mistake in my opinion. I support border security, but not E-verify.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is facing mounting pressure over his feud with Disney, with the corporation filing a lawsuit against him for steps he has taken to limit the expansion of its Disney World resort in the state. On Wednesday, Florida Republican senators doubled down in their action against Disney, voting in favor of a new bill—SB 1604—that would nullify development agreements between the entertainment company and the Sunshine State. Despite the heated battle, one claim shared online this week suggested that the Florida governor had a rather important personal history attached to Disney that he is trying to curb.

So I just saw the Trump commercial re: Desantis. He accuses Desantis of wanting to cut Medicare funding among other things. All dark and foreboding in black and white (of course). And here's my favorite part: "Desantis even voted to raise the retirement age to 70"!! Anyone even halfway responsible who looks at the Social Security trust fund numbers knows the retirement age will have to be lifted. Americans are living longer. There's no other option. Well, there is one other option -- raising SS taxes and/or raising or eliminating the income cap. Both Democrat solutions. Of course Trump has...

In his latest set of slides of blood samples taken from both “vaccinated” and unvaccinated people, Dr. Philippe van Welbergen demonstrated that the graphene being injected into people is organising and growing into larger fibres and structures, gaining magnetic properties or an electrical charge and the fibres are showing indications of more complex structures with striations. He also demonstrated that “shards” of graphene are being transmitted from “vaccinated” to vaccine-free or unvaccinated people destroying their red blood cells and causing blood clots in the unvaccinated. Dr. Philippe van Welbergen (“Dr. Philippe”), Medical Director of Biomedical Clinics, was one of the...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An Alaska woman is recovering after she was kicked by a moose while walking her dog. The incident was caught on camera by someone driving by, who immediately stopped to help. VIDEO AT LINK................. Tracy Hansen and her dog Gunner do this walk every day. Three times a day, to be exact. But last Thursday night, their daily routine took a drastic turn when she was kicked in the head by a moose. "I thought someone had not been paying attention and hit me with a bike or something," Hansen told KTUU. Hansen was shocked, frightened and...

(Last Updated On: February 9, 2023) NATIONAL CHEDDAR DAY National Cheddar Day adds some cheesy goodness on February 13th! #NationalCheddarDay Grilled cheese would be buttered bread without melt-able slices piled high; burgers would be lackluster without a perfect ooze; mac & cheese would just be…mac, to be frank. So many of our iconic American dishes simply wouldn’t be the same without a slice of cheddar’s deliciousness. CHEDDAR HISTORY There’s some history to this love of cheddar as well. How exactly did cheddar become a staple in so many of our favorite foods? Let us tell you! Cheddar first rolled into...

NATIONAL CREAM CHEESE BROWNIE DAY On February 10, National Cream Cheese Brownie Day shines a spotlight on an irresistible dessert bar. Combining chocolate and cream cheese has long been a favorite in the bakery. When it’s added to a brownie recipe the results are spectacular. #CreamCheeseBrownieDay The brownie has been around since the 1800s but was first documented in 1906 in the cookbook The Boston Cooking School Cook Book. There are hundreds of cream cheese brownie recipes. However, we also enjoy them cut up into parfaits or mixed into ice cream. Add a dollop of whipped cream, berries or a...

A newborn super cow at a farm in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Northwest A&F University Scientists from China’s Northwest A&F University, located just outside Xi’an, told local media that they successfully cloned three “super cows” capable of producing 50 per cent more milk than the average Canadian Holstein dairy cow. The researchers took tissue samples from Holstein cows that produced high volumes of milk and used the “somatic cell nuclear transfer method” to clone them, according to the Global Times. This method of using body cells to create an embryo that is then placed into a surrogate...

To note that the latest Disney/Marvel Studios woke Phase Four installment, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is a waste of time, is an insult to wastes of time. This tiresome flick aspires to be a waste of time. Disney/Marvel had a decision to make when the actor who originally played the Black Panther — the likable but mediocre Chadwick Boseman — died in real life: Either drop the BP franchise entirely, or bull ahead with a politically-correct sequel, composed of forgettable secondary characters from the first film. Guess which way they went. There’s a lot of furious fighting between black- and...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced he was demoting Reps. Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff from the powerful House Intelligence Committee to join Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the lesser-known House Party Planning Committee. Their main focus will be planning birthday parties and seasonal potluck celebrations for the upcoming Congressional term. "This is a very prestigious committee assignment," McCarthy said while trying to suppress a snicker. "Representative George Santos has a birthday coming up, and I've tasked these three with planning a little get-together in the Congressional breakroom." Sources say that despite their bruised egos, the trio got right to...

When Hitler was running out of resources, because he outspent Germany's future, his action was to attack Poland. So it makes me wonder if the reason for the war is that West has outspent its future and it wants the wealth of Russia to try and keep going. Ukraine has an estimated $13 trillion in mineral wealth. Russia probably has hundreds of trillions in mineral stored in the lands that it isn't making use of, for whatever reason it has chosen to not take advantage of.

About three weeks ago we had a discussion here about an F-35B stealth fighter that had a mishap on landing at Fort Worth Naval Air Station. It was being flown by a USMC pilot but he was performing pre-delivery evaluation flights for Lockheed Martin. Now the military has halted deliveries on F-35B engines pending further investigation (which is a pretty good indication the pilot was exonerated). The source article is at Defense News -dot- Com (under heading "Air Warfare"), which I apparently am forbidden to post from. So look it up if you're a mind to. It was at the...

Cheese is rich and creamy, and it’s irresistible on a cracker, paired with a selection of fresh fruit, or sprinkled over a bowl of chili. There are many delicious reasons to love cheese, and Americans really do love it. The per capita consumption is 40 pounds a year, or a little over 1.5 ounces a day. As much as we love cheese, though, we’re a little afraid of it. When people talk about their fondness for cheese, it’s often in a guilty, confessional way, like “Cheese is my weakness.” But “cheese is packed with nutrients like protein, calcium, and phosphorus,...

Dr. Naomi Wolf sits down with husband and private investigator Brian O’Shea to get to the bottom of what’s exactly in this bill. https://substack.com/app-link/post?publication_id=676930&post_id=92575963&utm_source=podcast-email&play_audio=true&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo0OTkyNjMwOCwicG9zdF9pZCI6OTI1NzU5NjMsImlhdCI6MTY3MTg0MjQ4OSwiZXhwIjo .
