Scientists at Columbia University have created the world's smallest single-chip system—complete wireless electronic circuits that can monitor conditions in the body. The chips, called "motes," have a total volume of less than one cubic millimeter, making them smaller than microscopic dust mites. No, these microchips can't be used to track you; they can only communicate outside the body with an ultrasound machine.

The state of California is jumping into an historic lawsuit against companies who make kits to assemble so-called “ghost guns.” The suit, originally filed in August by the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office along with the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence and the law firm Keker, Van Nest & Peters, accuses three companies of selling illegal prepackaged kits, allowing people to make a firearm at home. These ghost guns don’t have serial numbers, making them untraceable. In joining the lawsuit against Blackhawk Manufacturing Group, Inc., GS Performance, LLC, and MDX Corporation, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the...

Hillary Clinton made a major admission while appearing on “Good Morning America.” Clinton admits politics is a “game” to her and she doesn’t plan on giving it up. “I will never be out of the game of politics,” Clinton said. “I am never going to get out of, you know, being involved, worried, and hopefully trying to help in some way,” she added. “I really feel like our democracy is at stake.” “And there are many reasons for that, some of them we saw on the screen with the insurrection,” she said about the January 6 riot. “Some of them...

Floods in Shanxi province in northern China have forced more than 120,000 people from their homes. Local media reported 5 people died on 05 October 2021 after continuous rainstorms battered Shanxi Province. Meanwhile, more than 15 have been reported dead and there are more to come! Floods and landslides have been reported in 76 districts and cities. China’s state news agency Xinhua reported 17,000 homes severely damaged or destroyed. A total of 1.76 million people have been affected, as of 10 October. Emergency management departments have distributed relief supplies including tents, bedding and clothing. The heavy rain has also caused...

I have to hand it to Ford: This is a genuinely new and unprecedented use of taillights ...A lone figure, an older woman, rose up from the pile of broken chairs and shattered taillight lenses. “New F-150 taillights do something no taillight has ever done before!” Here’s what those lights are indicating: weight. Yes, weight. Ford has a system they introduced earlier this year called Onboard Scales. It weighs how much is being loaded into the truck and then displays that as a little four-part graph in the taillights, based on the truck’s payload capacity, so you can see easily...

The Biden administration is weighing its options to deal with fuel and natural gas shortages that have caused prices to surge in recent weeks ahead of the winter season, said White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday. “The president has asked his economic team, as they do on any range of issues impacting the public, to continue to discuss what the options are that we can take to address these shortages,” Psaki said during a news briefing. Without elaborating, Psaki said that she is “not in a position yet to outline additional steps we can take” and said there...

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson on Tuesday again declined to apologize for remarks he made in June criticizing sexual education in public schools and likening gay and transgender people to “filth.” Robinson held a news conference to respond to criticism earlier in the day from Democrats, including three LGBTQ lawmakers. He pushed back on calls from some Democrats and LGBTQ groups for him to resign and said he could separate his personal views about sexuality and spirituality from his daily role as the state's highest GOP executive officeholder. “My spiritual beliefs about transgenderism and...

This week, San Francisco is expected to once again ease certain indoor mask mandates for portions of the adult population. Mayor London Breed has celebrated this news “because it will allow offices to have more normal routines and interactions.” Noticeably lacking in the new guidance is any update for school and child care mask mandates or even any acknowledgement that kids might also need more normal routines and interactions. Considering they are in peak development years, children need these things even more than adults. It’s not as if mask relief for kids couldn’t safely become a reality. In fact, Mayor...

Seattle, WA—In a massive bungle between Moderna and Microsoft, the nanochip in the new COVID vaccine is far too large to be injected safely. Both companies are currently blaming the other, with Moderna saying that it informed Microsoft that the nanodevice had to be tiny enough—nano—to be used in small-bore needles, and Microsoft claiming that Moderna delivered no absolute specifications. “Microchip, nanochip, we thought it was just branding,” said Bill Gates. “But now most of the needles are getting stopped up, so people aren’t getting the vaccine or more importantly, our exciting new mind-control and remote-compliance device. We don’t accept...

Reflecting on Traditionis Custodes on the 50th Anniversary of the English IndultThis twelfth edition of Greogius Magnus is dominated by two contrasting, indeed dissonant, themes. One is Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter, given Motu Proprio, Traditionis Custodes: a number of reactions to this have been included here. The other is the 50th Anniversary of the English Indult, which was signed by Pope Paul VI on 30th October 1971. It would be useless to deny that Traditionis Custodes is a serious blow to our movement. While many bishops around the world have indicated that they will not restrict the celebration of the...

Walsh speculates that Laundrie is currently being aided and abetted by his parents. “I absolutely believe that his family is helping him stay on the run,” he says Walsh, who also hosts ID’s “In Pursuit With John Walsh,” additionally reveals that his own show’s hotline has been flooded with tips relating to possible sightings of Brian Laundrie. Naturally, not all of them are reliable. “We’ve got people from all over the world calling saying that Martians got him and took him to another planet, and he’s inside hiding in an alligator in a Louisiana swamp,” Walsh says in the special....

America remains bound by often extreme pandemic restrictions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends staying 6 feet away from others. In Oregon, everyone must wear a mask outdoors. In parts of the country, 2-year-olds must wear masks. Are such rules necessary? Recently, Denmark lifted all pandemic restrictions. "Go Denmark!" cheers George Mason University economist Don Boudreaux in my latest video. "We in the United States should do the same." "We reduced COVID, through vaccination, to a fairly mild ailment for the vast majority of people," says Boudreaux. "You don't have to worry if the bartender at your favorite...

After more than a year of pain, tests and finally a match, the Eastlake man is still just days away from getting a new kidney and a new lease on life. But it’s all up in the air now thanks to a new Cleveland Clinic policy requiring COVID-19 vaccines for organ transplant recipients and donors. The Cleveland Clinic announced the policy earlier this week, just days before Mike Ghanem was set to undergo surgery for a kidney transplant. Mike Ghanem, 52, was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease when he was 27. He’s had ups and downs in his health over...

Today, a Mesa County Court Judge ruled in favor of removing Tina Peters as the Designated Election Official (DEO) and has granted the Secretary of State’s requests that Wayne Williams is appointed as the DEO and Sheila Reiner be appointed as the election supervisor for Mesa County. A Designated Election Official is a person responsible for running elections for a local government, like a municipality or a county. They make determinations regarding elections issues for their municipality or county. The Court’s decision legally bars Peters from serving as DEO, after she allowed breaches to election security, disregarded election rules and...

During the 2020 election, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars to turn out likely Democratic voters. But this wasn’t traditional political spending. He funded a targeted, private takeover of government election operations by nominally non-partisan — but demonstrably ideological — non-profit organizations. Analysis conducted by our team demonstrates this money significantly increased Joe Biden’s vote margin in key swing states. This unprecedented merger of public election offices with private resources and personnel is an acute threat to our republic, and should be the focus of electoral reform efforts moving forward. The 2020 election wasn’t stolen —...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The top staff member at California’s largest labor union has resigned after she and her husband were charged with felonies including tax fraud. Alma Hernandez served as executive director for SEIU California since 2016. The union represents more than 700,000 workers and is politically influential, regularly donating millions to Democratic candidates. The Sacramento Bee first reported the charges and her resignation. Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday his office filed charges against Hernandez and her husband, Jose Moscoso, on Oct. 4. They were charged with five felony counts of filing false tax returns, allegedly under reporting...

U.S. consumers will spend more to heat their homes this winter than last year due to surging energy prices, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected in its winter outlook on Wednesday. Energy prices have risen sharply worldwide, causing power crunches in large economies like China and India. The United States has, so far, not seen that same effect, even though the prices of fuels ranging from natural gas to heating oil and propane have risen notably and will hit household finances as the weather turns colder. Propane Oil to Rise the Most: 54%"The main reason wholesale prices of natural...

The leftist pundits in the media are twisting themselves silly trying to spin the terrible economic situation in an attempt to save President Joe Biden. A new Bloomberg Opinion op-ed actually tried to argue that high inflation is a good thing for America. Bloomberg Opinion columnist Karl Smith actually had the audacity to publish a nonsensical article headlined, “America Needs Higher, Longer-Lasting Inflation.” His sub-headline was just as ridiculous: “The benefits of moderately rising prices and wages outweigh the costs.” His main argument was that “a higher rate of inflation, and correspondingly higher wage growth, could be a net positive...
