Polish police officers, in Croatia as part of project "Safe Tourist Destination" project, were helping Croatian authorities in communicating with the survivors. An investigation has been started into the cause of the accident.

"The BBC action-adventure show ‘Doctor Who’ has been around for almost 60 years. From the first episode, which aired November 23, 1963, with William Hartnell as the lead character, it was originally aimed straight at children with no curve-balls other than the character being an alien (Time Lord) who protects Earth and regenerates into a new body which retains all of its memories when he is injured enough to trigger the transformation (which was used to cover for actors being replaced). Until December 26, 2017, when Peter Capaldi’s last episode ended, The Doctor had always been played by a white...

The 100,000 North Korean “volunteers” reportedly being offered up to Russia to join the war on Ukraine would be people from the lowest “social class,” most likely forced to go by the government, North Korean defector Grace Jo told National Review. Russian talk show host Igor Korotchenko mentioned the new development in North Korean–Russian relations on Russian state TV this week, saying, “There are reports that 100,000 North Korean volunteers are prepared to come and take part in the conflict.” In North Korea, “volunteer” doesn’t have the same definition as in the U.S., Jo said. When the government issues an...

This is an important sworn testimony by Dr. Richard M. Fleming PhD, MD, JD, who is doctor, a lawyer, a medical journal reviewer, creator of between 400-500 peer reviewed medical journal papers, as well as, an inventor of medical products. The interview starts off with the virus, and he states that beyond question it is not a natural occurring virus, and that it was created via gain-or-function. That it meets all of the qualifications of being classified as a bio-weapon, and why it is legitimate to be classified as a bio-weapon due to the definition of what is considered to...

Before long, one of the two juveniles grabs what looks like a mug from the counter next to Nguyen's cash register and walks toward the door. Attempting to reason with him, Nguyen says he can take the mug but leave the coins that were inside of it. The same kid then reaches and grabs another item before turning and trying to make off with it. The other juvenile then jumps over the glass case toward Nguyen, who is on video grabbing some sort of sharp object by his register. The clerk then runs at the kid and stabs him what...

“‘Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven’” (Matthew 9:2). Jesus’ ultimate words to the paralytic, “your sins are forgiven,” represent the greatest of all divine miracles and definitely the most desirable for the one who hears them. This is the holy Son of God forgiving the sins of an unholy man. He could control nature with a word, and with these words He dismissed the man’s sins and graciously made him right with God. The verb translated “are forgiven” means send away or do away with. David declares, “As far as the east is from the west, so far has...

Are you facing a crisis? Do you have a menacing giant of a problem at home, at work or in your family? The only way to face a giant is to do as David did: remember the lion and the bear. By remembering God’s faithfulness to him in his past crises, David could go up against Goliath without fear. When David volunteered to fight Goliath, “Saul said to David, ‘You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him.’ …But David said to Saul, ‘Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued guidelines instructing the public on how to mitigate the risk of transmitting monkeypox while engaging sexually with a partner. While touting the monkeypox vaccine, CDC recommends anyone with monkeypox abstain from sex. "Vaccination is an important tool in preventing the spread of monkeypox. But given the current limited supply of vaccine, consider temporarily changing some behaviors that may increase your risk of being exposed. These temporary changes will help slow the spread of monkeypox until vaccine supply is adequate,” the federal agency states in its Aug. 5 guidance.”If you or a...

"Russia repeating in Ukraine the same random terror shelling of civilians until they leveled Grozny---- Russia did the same in Syria. When Chechnya declared itself a republic free from Russia, they were obliterated. But now, Russia's little Putin says areas in Ukraine have the right to declare themselves free republics from Ukraine (and of course later be absorbed by Russia)----irony, dripping with hypocrisy. Chechens joining up with the Ukrainians gives them an ideal opportunity to eliminate hundreds if not thousands of Russian soldiers. This will make it far easier for them to overthrow Kadyrov and gain their freedom from Russia....

If you don't take collapse seriously, I don't take you seriouslyRegular readers know by now that I am a big fan of the demographic-structural theory (DST) proposed by cliodynamicist historians such as Jack Goldstone and Peter Turchin. The reason I find it so interesting is because of how intellectually satisfying it is. Most theories of history are linear and progressive, and their proponents often struggle to force a progressive narrative onto otherwise cyclical and chaotic series of historical events. Demographic-structural theory, through its explicitly cyclical approach to understanding the rise and fall of empires, not only makes more sense intellectually,...

Dr. William Makis MD has tracked THIRTEEN Canadian doctors that have suddenly died : UPDATE on Canadian doctors "dying suddenly" I've now tracked 13 Canadian doctors "sudden deaths" (thank you to everyone who contributed info). This is the most complete data set I've seen anywhere by far. Three doctors died while exercising (two swimming, one running), two of them were very high level athletes. Three doctors died "in their sleep" unexpectedly. Two doctors also had aggressive cancer that had arisen within the past year. All of them were at least triple vaccinated due to illegal vaccine mandates. Remember: these are...

Under President Trump, the black unemployment rate fell to historically low levels, a fact that Democrats and the media never acknowledged.This week, Democrats, the media and the Biden administration are bragging about the new jobs report, but failed to mention that the black unemployement rate is going up.It’s amazing how selective they can be with the facts when it serves their purposes.Townhall reports:Labor Participation Drops in July As Black Unemployment IncreasesThe United States Department of Labor reported on Friday that 528,000 jobs were added in July, reducing the unemployment rate to 3.5 percent, down 0.1 percent from June’s read and...

Once, I believed that the world is run by experts who know what to do. I believed that the best answer to a crisis is to listen to the experts and do what they say because they know best and can be trusted to have our interests at heart. Yeah, I was an idiot. In my defense, I was young. Now I know better. The list of expert failures is a long one. The Vietnam War, which predated my youthful enthusiasm for experts, was launched by what David Halberstam mockingly called “the best and the brightest” in a book by...

Kosovo’s interior minister said on Saturday it has arrested a Russian journalist at the border on suspicion that she could be a spy, and security authorities were searching “for her intentions.” The country’s interior minister Xhelal Svecla named the journalist as Daria Aslamova. “Many countries have proven that she was engaged in espionage for Russian military intelligence and that she pretended to be a journalist,” Svecla said in press statement. Reuters could not verify Svecla’s accusations.

President Biden continues to harbor the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) in his body. He first contracted COVID-19 on July 21, two and a half weeks before the present. Is this because of immunosuppression - due to his heavily boosted status, or for some other reason? That being said, the single antiviral drug regime of Paxlovid may also be causing the virus to stay in his body for a long time, an effect otherwise referred to as “the rebound” effect:“The hypothesis is that the immune system didn’t have a chance to see the full extent of the virus, since Paxlovid suppressed replication...

Last month, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office raided a home in unincorporated Loganville where they believed a man was downloading child pornography. When interviewing him, the suspect admitted to collecting child porn and identified a second suspect in Oxford.

Hua Chunying, China’s foreign ministry spokesperson, accused the US of interfering in Beijing’s internal affairs. Chunying also said the US should have stopped Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan last week. The Chinese embassy has warned Australia against involvement in its actions over Taiwan, saying “finger-pointing” against Beijing was unacceptable, reports Reuters. Foreign minister Penny Wong on Friday condemned Beijing’s “disproportionate and destabilising” actions, saying she had expressed her concern to her Chinese counterpart at the East Asia Summit in Cambodia. The Chinese embassy in Australia responded with a spokesperson’s statement on Saturday expressing concern and “discontent” about the remarks from...
