Abrams and Eric Cohen wrote in the Wall Street Journal: 'We were working closely with the museum on the details for the June 12 event, until, out of the blue, we were told by the museum staff that Mr. DeSantis didn't 'align with the museum's values and its message of inclusivity.' They added: 'Either we disinvite the governor, they said, or our event was unwelcome.' But the museum were quick to dispute the claims, posting a scathing thread about the discussions on Twitter. They said: 'Let us be clear: No one was banned or cancelled. No contract with the Tikvah...

For the past two years, residents in Block 212 Serangoon Avenue 4 have had to contend with wild birds excreting on their freshly-washed laundry and windows. A female neighbour living in that block who frequently feeds these birds from her kitchen window, complained residents, reported Shin Min Daily News on Saturday (May 7). "Bread crumbs are seen almost every day on the ground floor of the HDB, so I suspect the neighbours are feeding the birds with bread," said Wang, a 64-year-old resident there. As a result of the frequent feeding, these birds often congregate in large flocks on the...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts on ABC's "The View" that President Biden's ability to laugh at White House Correspondents Dinner host Trevor Noah's jokes about people suffering from inflation "proves his mental fitness. It wasn't like he was all confused or anything. He was laughing right along with everyone else." "When you think of it, though, what's so bad about not being able to afford to put gas in your car or meat on your dinner table?" she added. "Wouldn't all of our lives be better if we drove or ate less? If the President's policies have prompted these healthier...

A 22X increase in athlete deaths that nobody can explain, 75% of UCSF/Marin radiology department says "no way" to the booster, and world governments no longer break out stats for vaxxed vs. unvaxxed.Steve KirschMay 7 If the vaccines are perfectly safe and effective, then explain these three items for me:If the vaccine is so safe, then why is there a 22X increase in the athlete death rate of athletes in plain sight? Over the entire year from April 2021 to April 2022 there were 633 athlete deaths compared to an annual average of 29 per year, which is a 22X...

Joe Biden’s new Orwellian “Disinformation Governance Board” has appointed a radical George Soros operative as its co-chair. The Ministry of Truth’s new Principal Deputy General Counsel Jennifer Daskal has deep ties to the Hungarian billionaire globalist. First, Daskal served as a fellow of Soros’ Open Society Foundation (OSF), where she was tasked with “working on issues related to privacy and law enforcement access to data across borders.” Daskal also worked as senior counterterrorism counsel for anti-free speech organization Human Rights Watch, which received over $32 million from Soros between 2000 and 2014.

On Monday, a very emotional MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough delivered a rant directed at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Democratic leaders to pass Roe v. Wade and codify it into law. After outlining how the leaked draft U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade shared the same “constitutional foundation” as interracial marriage and contraceptive rights, Scarborough suggested Schumer get a “bipartisan vote” instead of trying to “get the whole loaf.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a serial flip flopper in the era of the Chinese coronavirus, railed against the “normalization of untruths” and “so-called news organizations” during his commencement speech at the University of Michigan over the weekend. “Being in Washington has allowed me to experience first hand the intensity of the divisiveness in our nation,” Fauci told the graduates during the roughly 15-minute speech

Spartan citizens lived in luxury. Spartan armies were not invincible. Spartan politics had quite a bit in common with Athenian democracy.

Bill Gates isn’t an immunologist and he doesn’t even play one on TV. But the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft has immersed himself in the study of the world’s problems and donated billions of dollars to tackle the scourge of malaria in Africa through his philanthropic foundation. So when he speaks, people listen, which makes what he said last week about COVID-19 interesting. “It wasn’t until early February, when I was in a meeting, that experts of the foundation, said ‘there’s no way'” that COVID-19 could have been contained, he said. “At that point, we didn’t really understand the fatality rate....

Emmanuel Macron has warned it could take decades for Ukraine to join the EU as he proposed a new political organisation on the continent. During a speech marking Europe Day in Strasbourg, the French president said 'we all know perfectly that the process of allowing (Ukraine) to join would take several years, in fact probably several decades.' He added: 'That is the truth, unless we decide to lower the standards for accession. And rethink the unity of our Europe.' He also said that Europe must learn from its past mistakes to ensure Russia is not 'humiliated' in peace negotiations.

An experimental drug being clinically investigated for its effects on body weight in obese and overweight people has delivered record-breaking weight loss for participants in the trial – on par with surgical options, the company behind the drug suggests. Tirzepatide, developed by American pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly), is a once-weekly injection that promotes weight loss by mimicking the effects of natural hormones called incretins. These hormones lower blood sugar after we eat, in addition to regulating metabolic processes related to digestion. In the case of tirzepatide, which is not yet available on the market pending further clinical...

Neuralink prototype device from 2019. (Neuralink) The human brain is said to be the most complex biological structure ever to have existed. And while science doesn't fully understand the brain yet, researchers in the expanding field of neuroscience have been making progress. Neuroscientists have made substantial inroads towards mapping the complex functions of the brain's 85 billion or so neurons and the 100 trillion connections between them. (To put this astronomical number into perspective, there are upwards of 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy.) Enter Neuralink, a Silicon Valley start-up backed by Elon Musk that has developed a...

In and around the shrinking, toxic Salton Sea, there’s enough lithium to meet the United States’ entire projected demand and fuel the electric vehicle revolution.

The energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine disabused many politicians of the notion that the world could make a swift transition to green energy powered by solar, wind and wishful thinking. As food prices skyrocket and the conflict threatens a global food crisis, we need to face another unpopular reality: Organic farming is ineffective, land hungry and very expensive, and it would leave billions hungry if it were embraced world-wide. For years, politicians and the chattering classes have argued that organic farming is the responsible way to feed the world. The European Union pushed last year for members...
