Six million households in Britain face the possibility of morning and evening blackouts this winter to maintain sanctions against Russia, as do consumers across Europe. This is despite Europe pouring about $1bn a day into Russia to pay for the gas and oil it continues to consume. This seems crazy. Proposals by the EU to halt the payments are understandably being opposed by countries close to Russia and heavily dependent on its fossil fuels; Germany buys 12% of its oil and 35% of its gas from Russia, figures that are much higher in Hungary. The EU in Brussels seems not...

Ending the life of an innocent child is apparently something to brag about. On May 26, independent journalist Andy Ngô tweeted screenshots of tweets from radical leftist Jennifer Thompson, boasting about her late-term abortion. Thompson claimed her abortion saved her “f**king life” despite her tweets suggesting her abortion was just out of convenience. Thompson found out she was 27 weeks and six days pregnant (a viable child) with a baby girl, but had one goal — get rid of her. She traveled to the Oregon Health & Science University where she got a shot in her abdomen to stop her...

On Friday, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone penned a notice telling Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that, because of her pro-choice stance, she will not be permitted to take receive Holy Communion. Well, this absolutely triggered the pro-baby killing coven on ABC’s The View. And during their Monday show, they accused the Archbishop of somehow violating the separation of church and state by carrying out punishment against a member of the church for violating their beliefs. During the opening tease of the show, the announcer accused Cordileone of practicing “bad faith” with his decision. “Did the San Francisco Archbishop cross...

Russian state media threatened that President Vladimir Putin could “destroy the entire east coast of the U.S.” with just two Sarmat “Satan II” nuclear missiles if the West continues to escalate war in Ukraine. The chilling warning was made Tuesday on Russia’s media program Rossiya 1 by Russian member of Parliament Alexei Zhuravlev, who explained that Russia could launch only four Sarmat missiles to completely destroy the US east and west coasts. “I will tell you absolutely competently that to destroy the entire the East Coast of the United States, two Sarmat missiles are needed,” Zhuravlev said. “And the same...

China recently conducted combat readiness patrols in the waters and airspace around Taiwan, Beijing's military announced Wednesday, calling the exercises a "necessary action" in response to "collusion" between Washington and Taipei. "The troops in the theater continue to strengthen military training and preparations, improve their ability to perform their missions and resolutely thwart any external forces' interference," Col. Shi Yi of the People's Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command said in a statement. Beijing views Taiwan as a wayward province and has ratcheted up a military pressure campaign over the past several months, alarming Washington, which has grown increasingly vocal in...

UVALDE, Texas—State cops say Uvalde School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo has not responded to a request for a second interview about last week’s mass-shooting massacre that left 19 children and two teachers dead at Robb Elementary. But he did apparently find time on Tuesday to assume a new gig. Weeks before the shooting and the harsh scrutiny that has shone on him since, Arredondo was elected to the Uvalde City Council. Early this week, Mayor Don McLaughlin indicated the ceremonial swearing-in of new members was being postponed, which might have been convenient for Arredondo given swirling frustration with how...

A North Carolina preschool teacher has resigned following backlash over her unauthorized use of LGBTQ-themed flashcards, which included images of a pregnant man. The identity of the teacher, who is believed to be a woman, has not been revealed by the Wake County Public School System. The teacher left her role at Ballentine Elementary School in Fuquay-Varina on Friday, according to Lisa Luten, a district spokeswoman. Some parents and social media critics pushed for the teacher to be fired, but a student-parent in the special-needs preschool class backed the teacher's move. 'She is an amazing teacher who has worked tirelessly...

According to the report, the plaintiff changed her mind about filing the civil suit after watching the HBO “Real Sports” segment in which two of Watson’s accusers, Ashley Solis and Kyla Hayes, came forward and spoke with Soledad O’Brien about the alleged incidents. The two massage therapists talked about their alleged experiences with Watson in detail, with Solis saying Watson deliberately grabbed himself and “put his penis on my hand,” while Hayes said Watson kept intentionally touching her with his penis as she was trying to massage him. Meanwhile, Watson, who won’t face criminal charges after a grand jury in...

Compare and contrast with Texas: "I am a Pennsylvania State Trooper, A Soldier of the Law. To me is entrusted the Honor of the Force. I must serve honestly, faithfully, and, if need be, lay down my life as others have done before me, rather than swerve from the path of duty. It is my duty to obey the law and enforce it without any consideration of class, color, creed, or condition. It is also my duty to be of service to anyone who may be in danger or distress, and at all times so conduct myself that the Honor...

Reality TV star Todd Chrisley has built his on-screen career on maintaining an image of a devout Christian, devoted father, and loving husband to his wife and the mother of his five children. But last week that picture-perfect persona was shattered amid claims that the 53-year-old had a gay affair with a former male business partner - who also alleged that he helped him to commit fraud. On his USA Network series Chrisley Knows Best, Todd documented his life as a dedicated father who was focused on raising a family with perfect manners and strong morals alongside with his wife...

(CNAS = Center for a New American Security) One might well wonder if the CNAS study is a "trial balloon" from the Biden Administration to begin preparing the nation and world psychologically for the advent of Iran's "Islamic bomb." One might also wonder if the CNAS study is an attempt to justify consequent U.S. retreat from the Middle East, not as another humiliating defeat, but as a prudent and wise reprioritization of resources to meet the threat from China. President Biden is defunding nuclear weapons critical to U.S. national security, such as the SLCM-N and B-83. He is also still...

Scientists have discovered that certain metals found in people's urine, could be potentially useful clinical biomarkers for the early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI). Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a rapid deterioration in kidney function over hours or days. It is common, occurring in 10–20% of patients admitted to hospital and about 50% of patients admitted to intensive care. It is widely accepted by clinicians that one of the main ongoing problems in managing AKI is the inability to detect it at a very early stage. Currently AKI is defined by a rise in a blood test, serum creatinine,...
