“The Germans were warned in summer by the CIA about a possible attack scenario on the Nord Stream pipelines. US Intelligence claimed to have intercepted Russian communications in which concerns were expressed about possible Ukrainian attacks on Western infrastructure. The Ukrainians allegedly tried to rent a boat in Sweden for this purpose.”

— Anthony Grande moved away from Fort Myers three years ago in large part because of the hurricane risk. He has lived in southwest Florida for nearly 19 years, had experienced Hurricanes Charley in 2004 and Irma in 2017 and saw what stronger storms could do to the coast. Grande told CNN he wanted to find a new home where developers prioritized climate resiliency in a state that is increasingly vulnerable to record-breaking storm surge, catastrophic wind and historic rainfall. What he found was Babcock Ranch — only 12 miles northeast of Fort Myers, yet seemingly light years away. Babcock...

y columns have turned rather apocalyptic of late, but for a valid reason. Just this week, we got confirmation that our financial system is, again, at the brink of collapse, when the Bank of England (BoE) was forced to enact, de facto, a bailout of the pension funds of the United Kingdom. On Sept. 28, around noon, the Bank of England stepped (back) into the Gilt markets and start buying government bonds with longer maturities to stop the collapse in their value which could have caused the financial system to become unhinged. Pension funds were faced with major margin calls,...

Pedro Rodriguez, 36, has been charged with grand theft and burglary, police say. Miami Police PIO said the naked Donald Trump statue has been returned and is in its owner’s possession.

Intravenous treatment with omega-3 fatty acids in elderly hospitalized patients in intensive care due to COVID-19 seems to have positive effects on the ability of the immune system to cope with the virus, according to a study. In patients with COVID-19, a result of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the immune system and the body's activation of white blood cells are over-activated. It can lead to a so-called systemic inflammatory storm, which worsens the disease state and can cause complications such as sepsis and heart failure. Researchers have now shown that omega-3 fatty acids can stimulate active healing of inflammation,...

The conditions are right for confession. It is a beautiful August day in Montecito, in a beautiful sitting room, in a beautiful home. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, a lively 3-year-old with a shock of ginger curls identical to his father’s, toddles into the room demanding “Momma” listen to his heartbeat with a wooden toy stethoscope. He stands, tummy protruding, while his mother, Meghan, convincingly performs her glee at hearing the thump-thump, thump-thump in his chest. Archie giggles and, satisfied, toddles right back out again. Meghan, relaxing in a cozy chair, gazes over all that is climate-controlled and high-ceilinged and sun-dappled and...

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the US. Experts recommend many strategies and treatments to decrease the risk of suicide. Few would put folic acid supplements on that list. The study found patients who filled prescriptions for folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, experienced a 44% reduction in suicidal events (suicide attempts and intentional self-harm). Robert Gibbons, Ph.D. became interested in folic acid in the context of suicide because of a previous study between risk of attempting suicide and 922 different prescribed drugs. The study simultaneously screened each drug for associations with suicide attempts. Surprisingly,...

Blasting President Joe Biden's inflation and open border, former President Donald Trump vowed at his Save America rally in Warren, Michigan, on Saturday night to continue his "mission to restore the republic to greatness.""No matter what the left-wing tyrants throw at us, no matter what they do to us, we have no choice, we have to keep on going," Trump told his rally at Macomb Community College, which aired live on Newsmax. "We have to keep on fighting because we are on a mission to restore the republic to greatness."We're on a mission to bring it back, and it's really...

The market for government debt of big, rich countries like the United States and United Kingdom is, famously, supposed to be the deepest and most liquid on earth. They are the bedrock of the world financial system; bond prices aren't supposed to bounce around like a penny stock. That hasn't really applied in recent days, particularly in Britain. Bond prices are careening around wildly, in ways that indicate serious strains in the global financial system. Why it matters: Government debt markets are showing signs of the kinds of turbulence and lack of liquidity that, should it persist, will make all...

Far-left Portland city council member @JoAnnPDX, who blames Portland's violent decline on white supremacy, was asked by Portland's left wing newspaper "Willamette Week" about the city's surging gun violence. She struggled to answer. She is polling double digits behind challenger Rene Gonzalez

A woman who moved to Portland, Oregon, for its leftist values was offended by the mayor’s reaction on Wednesday when speaking about the city’s homeless problem. Gillian Rose shared criticisms during a virtual city council meeting and said the encampments all over the city were a huge problem for everyone, the Daily Mail reported Saturday.

Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at a rally for Donald Trump in Michigan on Saturday night. A video shows her accusing Democrats of murdering Republicans, saying the "killings" have already begun. She referenced two local stories, neither of which appear to back the claim that Republicans are being hunted down. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene deceptively claimed at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Warren, Michigan, on Saturday that Democrats are murdering Republicans. "I'm not going to mince words with you all," Greene said. "Democrats want Republicans dead. They've already started the killings." Greene, who has repeatedly spread bizarre conspiracy...

The Guardian is upset that Giorgia Meloni, very likely set to become Italy’s first woman prime minister, is opposed to gender quotas and “sexualised” herself during the election. In an article harping on the fact that the national conservative leader “posted [a] sexualised clip of herself during [the] election campaign, favours curbs on abortion and is against ‘pink quotas’” by Rome correspondent Angela Giuffrida, the British newspaper appeared irate that she believed “roles should be achieved through merit, not gender”. The “sexualised” video — a joke social media post uploaded after electioneering was officially closed of a fully-clothed Meloni holding...

Safe and Effective: A Second Opinion shines a light on Covid-19 vaccine injuries and bereavements, but also takes an encompassing look at the systemic failings that appear to have enabled them. We look at leading analysis of pharmaceutical trials, the role of the MHRA in regulating these products, the role of the SAGE behavioural scientists in influencing policy and the role of the media and Big Tech companies in suppressing free and open debate on the subject.

As I sit here with my head on a swivel after the initial SITREP broadcast discussing the findings around this issue, I am thankful that the sea of “Monkey Nation” supporters run deep around the world and that we have so many “trackers” with the ability to do what I do that I know should something happen to me, there are tens of thousands that can continue on with this effort. As it is said, “give a man a fish feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for life.” I have indeed taught so many...

"And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." "And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know." Matthew, Chapter 3 1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven...

Kash Patel: “I think it’s going to be an explosive topic. I don’t think you’ve seen any real damaging information yet. And that’s scary, right? Because this is very damaging. Because when you put it in perspective you’re going to see so much more damaging information. One of the other whistleblowers that came forward was on Dan Bongino’s Show. And he literally said wait til you see the acts of sexual complicity that the 7th floor of the FBI was engaging (in) during this entire time… And I was the guy that exposed the Lisa Page, Peter Strzok thing. I...

more damning proof of the wild and irresponsible life of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. Images are from a “wild” video that takes place at a $4,140 per night Malibu rental property. ... The video is the latest in the trove of treasures unearthed from Hunter’s abandoned personal laptop. ... when he “invited prostitutes to his wild pool parties and even took one photo showing two hookers naked in the hot tub with a jar of marijuana nearby.” ... Biz Pac Review reports on the comparison to other leaked footage and images of Hunter’s shenanigans: While it’s certainly not as...

DETROIT, U.S. -- Thousands of fans of the Mustang, a storied American "muscle car," stampeded into downtown Detroit, invited by its manufacturer, Ford, to see the unveiling of the new, 2024 Mustang sports coupe. The "Mustang Stampede" was easily the highlight of what was a decidedly low-key North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) held in Detroit on Sept. 14-25. Pre-pandemic, the annual Motor City event was one of the world's most important auto shows. But, to listen to critics, it is now fighting for survival, with organizers struggling to avoid the fate faced by shows like those in Frankfurt, Geneva...
