Biden Abruptly Walks Out Of Medal Of Honor Ceremony, Even Before Closing Benediction

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Dylan Mulvaney is continuing to face outrage over her brand collaborations, and this time it is because of her appearance in a skincare company ad. Following the Nike and BudLight controversy, the 26-year-old transgender TikTok star has now stoked anger online for an advert with Olay Women, which debuted in early March 2023 and shows Mulvaney getting ready using Olay SPF moisturizer. Commenting on the partnership between Mulvaney and Olay, Oli London, a social media influencer who underwent 18 surgeries to look like BTS singer Park Jimin, took to Twitter writing, "DYLAN MULVANEY stars in new Olay...

Polticians from outgoing coalition say Likud chief's agreement to put Avi Maoz in charge of Israel's Jewish identity is a 'slap in the face,' could 'plunge Israel into the abyss' The prospect of a hardline, ultra-conservative, anti-pluralistic, homophobic nationalist being appointed as the next government's head of "Jewish identity" was met with staunch rebuke from politicians from the outgoing coalition on Sunday, with lawmakers slamming the move by prime minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu as "insanity," "racist" and "unreal". Avi Moaz, the single lawmaker of the fringe Noam party, is one of the Knesset's most far-right politicians, holding non-pluralist Jewish views and...

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, tyrannical figures pushing mandates and restrictions have insisted those measures are necessary to protect people's health. However, their actions have repeatedly proven they are indifferent to the health of anyone who dares to disagree. In the latest example of this phenomenon, a medical center in Ohio may deny one man's kidney transplant because the donor is not vaccinated. According to WEWS-TV, Eastlake, Ohio, native Mike Ganim was first diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease about 25 years ago. Since then, his health has fluctuated without becoming too threatening.

WATERBURY, Conn. — A confident Donald Trump told supporters Saturday that he's "not toning it down," a day after his chief adviser assured Republican officials the GOP front-runner will show more restraint on the campaign trail. "I'm not toning it down," Trump told a cheering crowd of 3,000 people, packed into a high school gymnasium in Waterbury, Connecticut. "Isn't it nice that I'm not one of these teleprompter guys?" Trump's new chief adviser Paul Manafort met Friday with top Republican officials and told them his candidate, known for over-the-top persona and brashness, has been "projecting an image." "The part that...

A Terrifying GIF Of An Ice Age Ripping Through The US Leslie BaehrMay 15, 2014, 12:38 PM The northern ice cap creeps over earth. As we watch glaciers around the world recede, we sometimes hear the argument that these changes are part of the Earth's natural fluctuation. To some extent, they are. We've been in a relatively stable and warm period for at least 15,000 years. And we are unnaturally making the Earth even warmer. Before that, ice ages covered most of the Northern Hemisphere with glaciers. The last of the five major ice ages, called the Pleistocene glaciation, began...

Just before the bankruptcy of the Mt. Gox bitcoin digital-money (or virtual-currency) exchange, Japanese finance minister Taro Aso predicted the inevitable failure. “No one recognizes them as a real currency,” he told reporters. “I expected such a thing to collapse.” I totally agree with Mr. Aso. For weeks and weeks I have been tweeting and broadcasting that bitcoin is not real money. It is not a reliable medium of exchange, nor is it a reliable store of value. It has no central-bank regulation, network operations, or even centralized issuance. And because of its wild price fluctuations, bitcoin can never...

As an illegal immigrant, Jorge Mariscal waited eight years for a kidney transplant he feared would never come. His persistence paid off Thursday when he underwent the procedure at Loyola University Medical Center. After years of uncertainties, Mariscal said he's excited about his future and grateful for the help he received. But he remains frustrated with a health care system that he worries might leave out an untold number of illegal immigrants in need of lifesaving treatments. "Why can't we be treated the same?" he asked while sitting in his hospital room. "Health care should be a human right, not...

In a nutshell: Back in May, a friend of my daughter agreed to dog-sit our 1.5 year old sweet dog while we traveled to NJ to visit my father (who has metastatic cancer and heart ailments/surgical defibrillator). For weeks prior to our trip, we were reassured this family would not be traveling over the 4th of July holiday, and that the dog-sitting was still on. Our trip was to commence on or around the 24th of June; we fly standby non-revenue. In the 48 or so hours prior, we were informed that due to a conflict in their schedule, the...

As of July 20, 2009: • The Brainroom counts 32 czars in the Obama administration, based on media reports from reputable sources that have identified the official in question as a czar. • In addition, President Obama has said that he will create the position of cyber czar, and there have been media reports that there could be a health insurance czar and a copyright czar. When and if those positions are filled, that would bring the total to 35. • Since czar isn't an official job title, the number is somewhat in the eye of the beholder. NOTE: positions...

Paging Jonah Goldberg! If this developing story did not smack of some twisted Orwellian nightmare then I might chuckle, but instead I am left wondering if this is the start of something bigger. In any event, I am not sure if there has been a precedent of this nature and I am holding the White House responsible. Unless of course if Secret Service calling up individuals because of what they post on the Internet is normal, then perhaps I am just over reacting. It all began several days ago, when I wrote about the 'disinformation' collection request issued by the...

BRITAIN appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state... The Government is pushing ahead with legislation that will criminalise politically incorrect jokes, with a maximum punishment of up to seven years' prison...

Mohammed Khoda bought his Queens home at the peak of the real-estate market, and now that "everything is crashing," he's hoping President Obama can save him from foreclosure. "It was our dream to get a home in New York City," the Bangladeshi immigrant said. "And now we only hope to be able to live here." Khoda, 59, bought his two-family home on 160th Street in Jamaica for $700,000 in 2006.

WHO AM I? I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women. I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer. Later in life, questions arose over my real name. My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate. I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country,...

Army investigators say that Col. Michael D. Steele, a decorated combat veteran and brigade commander in Iraq, issued improper orders to his soldiers that contributed to the deaths of four unarmed Iraqi men during a raid in May, according to military documents. Skip to next paragraph The Reach of War Go to Complete Coverage » No charges have been filed against Colonel Steele in the Army’s continuing investigation. But two Defense Department officials said last week that Colonel Steele was formally reprimanded in the summer by Lt. Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli, the former commander in Iraq, for not reporting the...

Television has potential of making us more tolerant to others Dror Shternshus Published: 11.17.06, 20:17 Tolerance is among democracy's major values and is at the root of our attitude to others, be they different or members of a minority group. In Hebrew, the word for "tolerance" is derived from the same root as "suffering" – this isn't coincidental, as tolerance means being able to suffer in order to prevent an even more serious damage to the objectives of the other. This "other" comprises the handicapped, Israelis of Ethiopian decent, Russian-speaking Israelis, the Arab-Israeli minority, and more. Israel is home to...

A contestant on ABC's Wife Swap is suing the Walt Disney Company and the show's producer, RDF Media, for $10,225,000 after the person involved in the swap turned out to be a gay man. Jeffrey D. Bedford of Haileyville, OK told the Muskogee Phoenix that he could not comment on the case but provided a copy of his lawsuit in which he claims that the producers told him that if he did not proceed with the filming, they would not tell him his wife's whereabouts and would not pay for her return home; that the gay man invited members of...
