    Human urine as the new environmental and climate boogeyman is just the latest scare to get you to stop eating meat. Now when you pee, you are allegedly a human pollution machine that is heating up the planet. The voiding of your bladder must be curtailed for the sake of the planet! So says ‘The Science’! The last several years have seen endless emergency declarations, wars, massive government spending, debt, runaway inflation, supply chain issues, increases in crime, food shortages, no privacy from Big Brother-style government and corporate snooping, skyrocketing energy prices that chip away at car and home ownership,...
  • 84% of Gen Zers are eagerly hoping for housing to crash

    Twenty-somethings who have been frozen out of buying a home are eagerly anticipating a potential housing crash in 2023 in the hopes that they’ll finally be able to afford a place of their own. A number of economists have noted that the combination of high inflation, rising interest rates to fight that inflation, the continued effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and continuing pandemic-related supply chain bottlenecks are likely to bring about a recession sometime next year. If that happens, it could be enough to finally burst the decade-long housing bubble that sent home prices to record levels. And that’s...
  • Hansel & Gretel: Not Exactly a Children’s Tale

    History Defined ^ | December 17, 2022 | Carl Seaver
    When growing up, there are certain stories children are told. These stories are typically whimsical, often magical, and sometimes even spooky. However, these stories almost all the time convey a moral lesson that could be useful in later life, ending on an educational but heartwarming note. For example, “friendship makes life fuller,” “stealing is wrong,” or even “doing the right thing can be difficult, but it is always the correct choice.” The lessons vary depending on the tale, but typically, the lesson learned is the central reason the story is told. In the case of Hansel and Gretel, children learn...

First four will play (for 30 minutes), fifth to register is first alternate if one of the four fails to check in at start of play. I will post the categories at about thirty minutes before the start time so you can be thinking about...
  • Exclusive — Watch: Speaker McCarthy Vows Full Public Release of Capitol’s January 6 Surveillance Tapes (1 month ago! Where are the tapes!)

    House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that he intends to fully release to the public the tens of thousands of hours of U.S. Capitol surveillance footage from January 6, 2021. “Yeah,” McCarthy said when asked if the tapes will be fully released to the public…. “We just want to make sure we go through them all, and it takes time….” But McCarthy told Breitbart News that Carlson just got the first bite at the apple and that these videos will be released more broadly in the coming weeks…. “Well this is all about transparency,” McCarthy said...

    For almost 130 years, New York State has required private and non-public schools to offer a curriculum “substantially equivalent” to those offered in local public schools. That requirement has been loosely enforced, and the state education department issued new regulations in September 2022 that promised a more aggressive approach. But last week, New York Supreme Court Judge Christina Ryba partially invalidated those regulations. The ruling overturned neither the state’s compulsory-education law nor the substantial-equivalency law upon which the September regulations had been based. Rather, it invalidated the enforcement mechanism included in those regulations, which, Ryba found, would shut down schools...
  • Tesla to open a new Megafactory in Shanghai, China, company says

    Tesla will open a new Megafactory in Shanghai, China, that is capable of producing 10,000 Megapacks a year, the company announced in a tweet Sunday. A Megapack is a very large battery that stores energy, helps stabilize the power grid and prevents outages. These batteries enable grid operators to move extra capacity between counties or states and ensure that power from intermittent sources can be stored and used when demand is higher, or when there are unplanned outages in a transmission network. Tesla currently has a Megafactory in Lathrop, California, that is capable of producing 10,000 Megapacks units each year,...

    Concrete is an incredibly useful and versatile building material on which not only today’s societies, but also the ancient Roman Empire was built. To this day Roman concrete structures can be found in mundane locations such as harbors, but also the Pantheon in Rome, which to this day forms the largest unreinforced concrete dome in existence at 43.3 meters diameter, and is in excellent condition despite being being nearly 1,900 years old.Even as the Roman Empire fell and receded into what became the Byzantine – also known as the Eastern Roman – Empire and the world around these last remnants...

    A group of anti-Semitic teens in Queens are wanted for a series of disturbing attacks on the third day of Passover. Two boys and girl allegedly approached a 49-year-old man at Caffrey Avenue and Mott Avenue around 2:45 p.m. Friday and began throwing rocks at him while shouting hateful comments, police said. The girl then brandished a razor towards the victim before a Good Samaritan intervened and the suspects fled, according to cops. The suspects’ spree of hate continued about seven hours later at Brookhaven Avenue and Beach 17 Street, when they began taunting a 48-year-old male with anti-Semitic remarks,...

    Like the global de-dollarization campaign, the rise of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) might turn out to be the biggest long-term threat to America’s fabric. Across the globe, CBDCs have been gaining exceptional popularity, and many experts aver that the United States needs to catch up to its peers, particularly China. But while the White House and the Federal Reserve are putting the pedal to the metal on the digitization of the dollar, one prominent think tank warns it could leave Americans’ “core freedoms” vulnerable. Cato: Beware CBDCs CBDC proponents have asserted that employing these monetary instruments provides a broad...

    President Joe Biden invited the three expelled Democrats to the White House after being ousted from the state legislature for protesting against gun violence. His invitation extended to the "Tennessee Three" along with a statement praising them for "seeking to ban assault weapons and standing up for our democratic values." "Earlier today, I spoke to Reps. Jones, Pearson, and Johnson thank them for their leadership and courage in the face of a blatant disregard for our nation's democratic values. Our country needs to take action on gun violence — and to do that; we need more voices like theirs speaking...

    In 2007 Justin Bieber’s mom, Pattie Mallette, posted a video of her son, then 12, covering R&B star Ne-Yo’s “So Sick” at a kids’ singing competition in a little town near Toronto. “I told him, ‘Okay, you’ve never sung in front of anybody before, and you’ve never had singing lessons,’” Mallette told me. ‘Let’s adjust our expectations.’ ” Bieber finished third. “One of the judges actually left because she was upset that he didn’t come first,” Mallette said. Encouraged by his strong performance, Mallette started posting more videos on YouTube—mostly so Bieber’s grandmother could see him—and soon he had a...

    When my daughter was in high school, she sang in the school chorus, a group that included 80 students. After one town-wide performance, a woman wrote to both the school newsletter and the local newspaper, complaining that the chorus was “not sufficiently diverse.” Diversity: Only Blacks Matter In a written reply, my daughter took exception to this view. She conveyed that students of Greek, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Malaysian ancestry, along with students of European ancestry, including Italian, Hungarian, Austrian, French, and Spanish, were among the chorus members. Oh yeah, the chorus also had 12 African-Americans students and two Hispanic-American...
  • Bill Barr says Democrats are intentionally emboldening Trump's base with indictment to ensure he's the 2024 GOP nominee 'because he is the weakest of the Republican candidates'

    Bill Barr said Democrats' goal is to use the judicial system to get involved with the Republican primary and ensure that former President Donald Trump wins because they think they can beat him again in 2024. Trump's former Attorney General said Sunday morning that the recent indictment against the former president and the many other legal battles are a calculated effort by progressives to embolden the MAGA base. A grand jury in Manhattan moved late last month to charge Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush money payment case – making him the first-ever president to face indictment. Last week, the...

    The United States has been accused of supporting a ‘Veil of Secrecy’ over the negotiations regarding the WHO CA+. NGOs and activists have called out the United States for siding with China to exclude the public from seeing drafts of the pandemic accord as it is being negotiated by World Health Organization (WHO) member states. The letter arises from China and US opposition to a proposal by the European Union (EU) that “all inputs and additions to the zero draft should be available to all stakeholders”, which was made during the fourth meeting of the WHO’s Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB)...
  • Was a Google Doodle Created for Ramadan But Not for Easter? (2019 but true now as well) Bias note

    Snope ^ | Snopes
    Lol…the bias and lying!! While it is true that Google does not traditionally produce a Doodle in honor of Easter (although they did create one in 2000), this isn't due to bias against Christians. Google generally avoids creating Doodles for all religious holidays. The company told Fox News in 2018 that “We don’t have Doodles for religious holidays, in line with our current Doodle guidelines. Doodles may appear for some non-religious celebrations that have grown out of religious holidays, such as Valentine’s Day, Holi’s Festival of Colors, Tu B’Av and the December holiday period, but we don’t include religious imagery...

    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Sunday that he is “open” to sending U.S. troops to Taiwan to defend the island, saying that “strategic ambiguity” is not working. “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream asked Graham if the senator would support authorizing U.S. force in Taiwan if tensions rise between the island and China. Graham responded that Congress needs to ask itself whether the U.S. should have a defense agreement with Taiwan. “So the question for the Congress, should we have a defense agreement with the island of Taiwan? We don’t should we have one?” he said. “But yes, I’d...
