Would you pay more than $12,000 for a dog? Some Singaporeans can - and will. And demand for these costly canines shows no signs of abating, despite prices for many breeds ballooning since last year. Checks by The Straits Times found that a golden retriever can cost up to $12,800, compared with about $5,000 last January. A poodle can go for as much as $11,800, when one cost around $4,000 in the previous year. Demand for puppies surged right after the circuit breaker [Singaporean name for lockdown] ended, and all five shops suggest that prices will continue to rise. Dogs...

Don't bother going to the link, just wanted you to see the cover of this magazine. Who do they think is going to clean up Biden's messes, literally and figuratively? I wouldn't be surprised if he needed his Depends changed for him every few hours.

Babies are cranky at times, but what lengths would you go to calm them down? It'd definitely not be feeding them a concoction of beer, energy drink and milk in a bottle, as what this Indonesian man did. A video of Andika feeding his four-month-old nephew milk that he mixed with beer and an energy drink recently went viral on social media in Indonesia, according to Kompas. According to the police, Andika and five friends were having a drinking party at his brother's place on Jan 20 night. His brother and sister-in-law, who are the parents of the baby, were...

You may remember that last month, Axios dropped a pretty stunning report about suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang (also known as Fang Fang) targeting a number of U.S. politicians, including Swalwell. At the time, Swalwell’s office told Axios, “Rep. Swalwell, long ago, provided information about this person - whom he met more than eight years ago, and whom he hasn’t seen in nearly six...

We can’t afford -as a country- to give him a chance to...

CIA officials believed that Soviet scientists took part in 'several successful Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP) experiments' in the 1980s, according to a recently-declassified document from the time. The U.S. spies wrote in an April 1991 memo that they thought the Russians had made remarkable progress in understanding ESP - reception of information not gained through the recognized physical senses, but sensed with the mind. They reported back that one Soviet scientist, Konstantin Buteyko, 'had perfected his method in the early 1980s'.

A number of Perry’s political foes - all Democrats - have called in the several days since for Perry’s resignation from Congress. And the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has promised its own inquiry into the matter, in which Perry is alleged to...
