Today Mars, Inc., the company behind those bags of M&M’s, has announced that the sugar coated chocolates are going woke. Specifically, they’re making the female candy characters more masculine in a bid to make the sweet treats “inclusive.”

More prophesy being fulfilled with one world religion.

A biological female member of the University of Pennsylvania women’s swimming team said she believes her transgender teammate Lia Thomas colluded with a Yale transgender athlete so she could lose to prove a point, according to a report. Yalie Iszac Henig, who is transitioning from female to male, beat Thomas in both the women’s 100- and 400-yard freestyle races during an Ivy League swim meet on Jan. 8. Henig was reportedly able to compete on the women’s team because she had yet to start testosterone treatment. Thomas, who has been shattering women’s team records, has become a lightning rod as...

A motorcycle driver was killed in a horrific crash in West Hills. The Los Angeles Police Department was tracking the motorcycle driver who was allegedly wanted for theft.

The weather stole the headlines in Florida 45 years ago with a startling feat that has not been repeated to this day. On the morning of Jan. 19, 1977, something very unusual happened in South Florida: It snowed. Residents grabbed their film cameras to document the unusual event, and newspapers ran headlines in the biggest font they could muster. The Miami News even issued a special souvenir edition titled "The day that couldn’t happen: Snow in Miami!"

Netflix dashed hopes for a quick rebound after forecasting weak first-quarter subscriber growth on Thursday, sending shares sinking nearly 20 percent and wiping away most of its remaining pandemic-fueled gains from 2020, just a week after raising prices by up to $2 a month. The streaming platform projected it would add 2.5 million customers for the first quarter of 2022 - January through March - less than half of the 5.9 million analysts had initially forecast. Netflix tempered its growth expectations, citing the late arrival of anticipated content, such as the second season of Bridgerton, and the film The Adam...

It’s a day since President Joe Biden’s press conference marking the first anniversary of his swearing-in, and I remain in the same state of horrified and stunned disbelief I experienced while watching it. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to see the behavior of an actual human being, as opposed to a character in a spy movie, who’d been given a shot of sodium pentothal. That’s what Biden was like at the press conference. Everything he said he probably shouldn’t have said, but he just couldn’t help himself. It was his Internal Monologue Made Exterior, and it was...

Some Chicago officers want to get away from a demoralized police department. Now, the law also lets them transfer up to 5 years of service to suburban pension plans. Sean Jaycox, a third-generation Chicago police officer, was goofing around on his computer last winter. He started looking at Florida police departments that hire cops from other states but don’t make them go through a training academy again. “I threw an application in for fun, and here I am now,” Jaycox says of his new job as a Fort Lauderdale cop. “I’m only 24, no wife, no kids,” he says. “If...

The J6 committee’s request to sit with Ivanka Trump is further highlighting the close relationship Sean Hannity had with her father’s White House. A letter from the panel to Ivanka Trump includes portions of text exchanges from Hannity and Kayleigh McEnany related to January 6th and the stolen election. “1- No more stolen election talk,” Hannity texted McEnany, who herself sat down with committee investigators last week after being subpoenaed. Per the letter, he continued, “2- Yes, impeachment and the 25th amendment are real and many people will quit.” McEnany responded “Love that. Thank you. That is the playbook. I...

ANECDOTAL My (unvaxxed) relatives called to say they have left Singapore. They say it has gone totally fascist. So they chartered a private jet and got out of there! They've relocated to Thailand. I was a bit surprised they took this stance and pleased to hear they refused the so called vaccines. We're not alone after all...

The Justice Department dropped charges Thursday against a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor accused of concealing ties to the Chinese government, a further setback to a federal initiative that was set up to prevent economic espionage and theft by Beijing of trade secrets and academic research. The department revealed its decision in the case against Gang Chen in a filing in federal court in Boston, saying it could no longer meet its burden of proof. U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins, the top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts, said the move was “in the interests of justice” and was the result of new...

VIDEOMass train robberies have broken out in California. And while the tracks are littered with the empty discarded boxes left behind by the train robbers, helpless and hopeless Governor Gavin Newsom issues a truly bizarre apology.

Come to Jesus, Pogo.It is curious that those opposed to American intervention on behalf of Ukraine cast the question as one of defending Ukraine's borders at a time when we will not defend our own. Tucker Carlson, for example, used that argument on his show last night. Of course, he was also at pains to argue that America has virtually no national interest in Ukraine that is important enough to risk war.Neocons and inveterate interventionists cast the question not as a border dispute or a dispute to defend a nation's borders but as a matter of geopolitics, a matter of...

National Propaganda Radio (otherwise known as the state-funded media outfit NPR) ran a hit-piece Thursday on a charity collecting donations for political prisoners held under the Biden regime over charges related to Jan. 6. “Experts see ‘red flags’ at nonprofit raising big money for Capitol riot defendants,” NPR Investigations headlined, smearing the Patriot Freedom Project (PFP) as a shadow charity whose board is run by supervisors plagued with financial headaches of their own. The article centers on the charity’s founder, Cynthia Hughes, who launched the group to support Jan. 6 defendants held now more than a year in reportedly inhumane...

A case report involving a 47-year-old, previously healthy man demonstrates conclusive evidence that COVID-19 shots may trigger vaccine-induced immune-mediated hepatitis ********************************************************************* illions of people continue to get COVID-19 injections without being informed of their true risks, hepatitis being among them. Hepatitis, which is inflammation of the liver, is most often caused by a virus; however, there are also autoimmune and immune-mediated forms. As case reports of vaccine-induced immune-mediated hepatitis began to pop up following COVID-19 jabs, researchers took notice, but wondered if they were simply coincidence. In an ordinary year, there are three cases of autoimmune hepatitis out of every...

California would allow children age 12 and up to be vaccinated without their parents' consent, the youngest age of any state, under a proposal late Thursday by a state senator.
