Russian military "black magicians" compiled an astrological map and shot down the plane of Polish President Lech Kaczynski. This is the opinion of SBU (Ukrainian FBI) General Grigory Omelchenko told in the interview to the Ukrainian media. According to Omelchenko, he was engaged in the investigation of the Tu-154 crash at the request of foreign colleagues and for personal reasons, since his close acquaintances were killed. The plane was doomed to destruction, he said. The general is confident that a multi-stage special operation was developed in Russia, so that Kaczynski's visit to Katyn would not take place. To do this,...

(Click on the link.) Cute African-American baby, Name: Dr. Tre. Favorite Food: Chips and beer. Moby, in the news for shopping the fake Trump Dossier for CIA agents, sold 10 million "Play" recordings. And woe to them that are with child in that day, and that are nursing. Matthew 24:19. In the generations before Hugh Heffner gave money to abortion feminists and supported moth Dr. Alfred Kinsey, experimental sexual torturer of babies, before intellectual mass murderer Ted Bundy gave his death house interview testimony that he had been led astray by pornography, the standard presumption was that children could be...

A man in Spain who was declared dead by three doctors was actually still alive, which doctors discovered only when he began snoring on the autopsy table, according to news reports. The man, 29-year-old Gonzalo Montoya Jiménez, was a prisoner at a jail in northern Spain. He was found unconscious in his cell on Sunday (Jan. 7), and was believed to be dead, according to the Spanish news outlet La Voz de Asturias. Three forensic doctors allegedly examined Jiménez and certified his death. But four hours later, right before Jiménez's autopsy, he was heard making noises on the autopsy table,...

Should doctors ask patients if they own guns? Currently, ObamaCare bans the federal government from using patient medical records to compile a list of gun owners. But following the Newtown, CT shootings, President Obama issued an executive order clarifying that “the Affordable Care Act [ObamaCare] does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.” The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) similarly encourages physicians to ask patients if they own firearms — in the name of protecting child safety. As a physician, I consider this advice misguided.

The home of a woman who accused failed Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual harassment was destroyed in a fire earlier this week, Al.com reported Friday. Authorities are conducting an arson investigation. During the special election campaign last year, Tina Johnson accused Moore of grabbing her backside in his office in the early 1990s. Al.com reported that Johnson’s home in Gadsden, Alabama, burned down Tuesday morning. According to the report, neighbors and utility workers called 911 shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday to report the fire. The Lookout Mountain Fire Department responded to the scene, but by the time...

Saudi Princess Amira Bint Aidan Bin Nayef went on a rampage against the ruling Saudi regime in her exclusive statements to the French newspaper Le Monde, saying slavery in Saudi Arabia has different forms, but it is done in secrecy and permitted only among the primary beneficiaries of the princes of the House of Saud. She mentioned one of the most repulsive things: buying and renting the children, especially the orphans, from countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Djibouti, Somalia, Nigeria, Romania and Bulgaria.

A Pennsylvania woman said she recently opened a power bill showing she owed more to her local power provider than the gross domestic product of most of the world’s nations. According to the Erie Times-News, Mary Horomanski, she was shocked to see an outstanding balance of more than $284 billion with a monthly payment of nearly $30,000 due immediately.

In September 1975, The Grateful Dead released what was to become its highest chart-topping album for the next twelve years, Blues for Allah. In an interview at the time, the group’s lyricist, Robert Hunter, described the album’s title song as “a requiem for King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, a progressive, democratically-inclined ruler (and incidentally a fan of the Grateful Dead) whose assassination in 1975 shocked us personally.” Hunter went on to note proudly that the lyrics of the album, inspired as it was as much by Bach as by Eastern influences, were printed in Arabic on the back of album....

Josiah Zayner, 36, recently made headlines by becoming the first person to use the revolutionary gene-editing tool Crispr to try to change their own genes. Part way through a talk on genetic engineering, Zayner pulled out a syringe apparently containing DNA and other chemicals designed to trigger a genetic change in his cells associated with dramatically increased muscle mass. He injected the DIY gene therapy into his left arm, live-streaming the procedure on the internet. The former Nasa biochemist, based in California, has become a leading figure in the growing “biohacker” movement, which involves loose collectives of scientists, engineers, artists,...

"Happy Festivus" is the traditional greeting of Festivus, a holiday featured in the Season 9 episode of Seinfeld named "The Strike", which first aired on December 18, 1997. Since then, many people have been inspired by this zany, offbeat Seinfeld holiday and now celebrate Festivus as any other holiday. According to the Seinfeld model, Festivus is celebrated on December 23rd.

I cooked up a little Star Wars meme concerning one of the new Horrible characters in the new "Last Jedi" Movie. If you saw the movie and hated it, maybe this will put a smile on your face!

As many of you know as I started my Christmas holiday last night and employed a new app called PostBot to fulfill my commitment and obligations as a productive and engaged member of FR while taking much needed time off. After running it for approximately 24 hours I can report the following. 1. The app kept track of what it perceived were negative replies to those it determined were positive. The ratio was approximately 20:1 positive. 2. It compiled lists from the negative responses as to belligerent (9), thin-skinned (18), irrational (6), nasty (11) and self-righteous/sanctimonious (22). A total of...

On Twitter, Sen. Rubio said it was time for a “reevaluation” of U.S. funding for the U.N. Senator Rubio’s suggestion follows comments by President Donald Trump threatening to cut off financial aid to countries that vote in favor of the U.N. resolution condemning American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. “They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we’re watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We’ll save a lot. We don’t care,” Trump told reporters at the White House Wednesday.

According to authorities in Maryland, a raging fraternity party away from American University’s campus led to multiple arrests and a discernible presence of alcohol lingering in the air. At least 70 people, many of whom were minors, were at the home when officers responded to complaints about the gathering billed online as “Tequila Tuesday.”

Alzheimer's disease is caused by immune cells in the brain triggered by inflammation, according to a breakthrough discovery. The new research could lead to the development of a drug that treats or even prevents the condition within five years, say scientists. Experiments found destroying specific cells - known as microglia - reduced the formation of clumps of amyloid beta that form in Alzheimer's and destroy memory. These are the rogue proteins believed to lie at the root of the devastating neurological illness. Human trials of all therapies have failed in the past. Most have targeted the amyloid plaques that build...
