SUMMERLAND KEY, Fla. (WFLA) — A Summerland Key man was arrested on Tuesday after deputies said he stole his roommate’s bird and left it injured at a bus stop in the Florida Keys. According to a post on the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, Justin David “Redbeard” Peters, 40, was accused of stealing the $1,800 bird on June 13. The victim, a 37-year-old woman, told police that she instructed Peters to leave the bird, Piper, alone and that he did not have permission to remove it from its cage and leave the house. The sheriff’s office said a witness...

As the establishment continues to pump out more finely tuned propaganda to support throwing eye-watering stacks of money at Ukraine, it’s glaringly apparent the conflict isn’t ending anytime soon, at least if the western elites get their way. Unless you are blindfolded by media narratives, the money thrown at Ukraine is painful to watch, especially coinciding with soaring inflation, gas prices, and energy costs. Meanwhile, vast swathes of Europe – specifically Germany, face a complete grid collapse and possibly famine, made worse by the recent Nord Stream pipeline sabotage. Those daring to question why the Ukraine war is dragging on...

In recent days we assess that Iranian personnel — Iranian military personnel — were on the ground in Crimea and assisted Russia in these operations," said Ned Price. Iranian military personnel are on the ground in occupied Ukrainian territories providing aid to the Russian military in their ongoing invasion, the Whitehouse confirmed on Thursday night. "We can confirm that Russian military personnel based in Crimea have been piloting Iranian UAVs and using them to conduct kinetic strikes across Ukraine in strikes against Kyiv, and in recent days we assess that Iranian personnel — Iranian military personnel — were on the...

Bodies of water all over North America are drying up as a result of drought and a decrease in precipitation, experts told ABC News. Earlier this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted that the 22-year megadrought affecting the West would not only intensify but also move eastward. That prediction appears to be coming into fruition, with about 82% of the continental U.S. currently showing conditions between abnormally dry and exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.+ And while the U.S. and North America continue to witness water levels dropping in crucial rivers, lakes and reservoirs, a mixture...

The NOPEC bill, which would allow OPEC’s members to be sued under U.S. antitrust laws, has been placed on the Senate’s legislative calendar. Due to the packed legislative schedule before the midterms, the NOPEC bill will likely only be up for discussion after the elections. Interest in the NOPEC bill has intensified since the cartel agreed to a 2 million bpd cut to its November production quotas.

High schools in Cherokee County, North Carolina, have canceled volleyball matches against one school after a transgender athlete (a boy living as a girl) injured another girl at a recent game. The injury occurred last month when a Highlands High volleyball player made a spike and smashed a Hiwassee Dam High player in the forehead, causing severe head injuries. “The Hiwassee Dam player, a biological girl, suffered severe head and neck injuries, resulting in long-term concussion symptoms, including vision problems. The girl has still not yet been cleared to play again by her primary care physician or a neurologist,” reported...

Wanting to stop sheriff’s deputies from carrying out a court-ordered eviction last week, Rorie Woods turned to a “dangerous weapon,” authorities said. Woods allegedly pulled up to the home where the eviction was taking place, got out of her SUV and walked back to the flatbed trailer she had towed to the tony neighborhood in Longmeadow, Mass., a town of nearly 16,000 on the Connecticut state line. Then, she unleashed hundreds of bees from the hives she had brought, according to the sheriff’s office. Multiple deputies were stung before they could arrest Woods, officials said. She has since been charged...

Banks will not be bailed out. They will be bailed-in using your money. Banks are already starting to collapse around us. The fractional banking system is a complete joke. It is at zero right now and your money is not safe.

A new study found that a diet intervention is about as effective (88%) as hormone replacement therapy (70–90%) for reducing menopausal hot flashes, without the associated health risks. The WAVS trial—the Women's Study for the Alleviation of Vasomotor Symptoms—found that a plant-based diet rich in soy reduced moderate to severe hot flashes by 88% and helped women lose, on average, eight pounds in 12 weeks. "We do not fully understand yet why this combination works but it seems that these three elements are key—avoiding animal products, reducing fat, and adding a serving of soybeans," explains Neal Barnard, MD. "Our results...

A Democratic myth has arisen that former President Donald Trump’s denial of the accuracy of the 2020 vote was “unprecedented.” Unfortunately, the history of U.S. elections is often a story of both legitimate and illegitimate election denialism. The 1800, 1824, 1876, and 1960 elections were all understandably questioned. In some of these cases, a partisan House of Representatives decided the winner. Presidential candidate Al Gore in 2000 did not accept the popular vote results in Florida. He spent five weeks futilely contesting the state’s tally – until recounts and the Supreme Court certified it. The ensuing charge that former President...

Returns to paint pictures of the Lord.. A former atheist attests to how his belief system was shaken to the core when he experienced meeting Jesus during a near-death experience. He recalled his savior transporting him from a hellish realm to the kingdom of Heaven for a glimpse of what could be earned in life. It was here that he also realized the grave error of his old ways. Howard Storm, now 75, admits that he had an obsession with success in his earlier years. Raised in a suburb of Boston, he attended school in California before taking a job...

People who deny the existence of facts believe in fake news more often. People with dark personality traits—those who always put their own benefit first—are particularly often affected. These are the findings of a new study at the Human-Computer-Media Institute at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, Germany. "Some people believe fake news even when the scientific facts clearly contradict them," says psychologist Jan Philipp Rudloff. "We wanted to know why this is the case and investigate the role played by our ideas about the nature of knowledge and facts." Rudloff, who is doing his Ph.D. at the department of communication...

Incidence and severity of neurological side effects from chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy were higher in patients who had hypophosphatemia (low blood phosphate levels). Neurological toxicity associated with CAR T-cell therapy, known as immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), affects approximately 50% of recipients. Symptoms include confusion, delirium, aphasia, impaired motor skills, and somnolence. In severe cases, life-threatening events, including seizures and coma, can occur. The researchers co-cultured lymphoma cells expressing the CD19 antigen with CD19-targeted CAR T cells and found that lymphoma cell killing was associated with reduced phosphate concentrations in the culture media. Furthermore, CAR T cells...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon will provide travel funds and support for troops and their dependents who seek abortions but are based in states where they are now illegal, according to a new department policy released Thursday.. The military will also increase privacy protections for those seeking care. The order issued by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin outlines the rights and protections service members and their dependents will have regardless of where they are based, which was a key concern of troops after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June. The new policy sets guidelines so that local commanders...

State election officials say a possibly fake ballot was discovered at an early voting location in Spalding County Wednesday morning, officials confirmed to Channel 2 Action News. A full-scale investigation is now underway about who created it and why.

Foreign nationals involved in propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations will be expelled from Russia and fined up to 400,000 rubles ($6,500), according to a bill submitted to the State Duma (the lower house of parliament), a copy of which is available to TASS. The bill suggests punishing propaganda of non-traditional values among adults, including on the Internet, with an administrative fine of 100,000 to 200,000 rubles ($1,600-3,200) and subsequent expulsion from Russia. A similar offense involving minors, is supposed to entail a fine of 200,000 to 400,00 rubles ($3,200-6,500) and deportation from the country.

Worried about the COVID vaccine for your children or grandchildren? The only way you can stop it is to contact your state representatives and senators to ensure state law does not simply follow the CDC recommendations. Some states do just that, meaning the schoolchildren will be mandated to get the vaccine. Otherwise they cannot attend school. This applies to both public and private schools. Many say home school is the answer, but there are many out there who simply cannot do this due to finances, being a single parent or grandparent, having a child with special needs who needs in-school...
