Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Half of the world's glaciers will melt and disappear before the turn of the next century, according to alarming new research that predicts greater fallout from global warming despite meaningful efforts in recent years to address environmental concerns. The study, published Thursday in the journal Science, projects that nearly 50% of the Earth's natural ice will dissolve by the year 2100, which is much quicker than scientists previously calculated if the planet warmed by only 1.5C -- a benchmark set by hundreds of nations to cut emissions and protect more land for nature and the environment....

In the chaotic final days of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, U.S. military analysts observed a white Toyota Corolla stop at what they believed was an Islamic State compound. The Americans were already on edge. Three days earlier, a suicide bomber had killed scores of Afghans and 13 U.S. troops at a main gate of the Kabul airport. Now, officials had intelligence that there would be another attack there, and that it would involve a white Corolla. They tracked the car around Kabul for the next several hours. After it pulled into a gated courtyard near the...

Hundreds of young people have died after getting the experimental COVID shots, and now a report reveals research at Harvard Med suggests an eyebrow-raising reason.It could be that the spike antigen in the shot itself could be a trigger for myocarditis, which can be fatal.A report from Just the News explains that, "Fact-checkers and Big Tech lost another round with purported COVID-19 misinformation this week, when an American Heart Association journal published research suggesting the spike protein used in mRNA vaccines can harm some people."The report explained it was a peer-reviewed study in Circulation that looked at the cases of...

The Christmas season can sometimes seem to be just one joyful feast after another. We are scarcely past the glow from the Holy Family and Mary, Mother of God, when Epiphany is already upon us. The word “Epiphany” comes from two Greek words: epi, “on, upon”; and phaino, “to appear, to shine.” Therefore, the “Epiphany” refers to the divinity of Jesus “shining upon” the earth, in other words, the manifestation of his divine nature. The use of the word “epiphany” for the revelation of divinity predates Christianity. The Syrian (Seleucid) emperor Antiochus IV (175-164 BC), the villainous tyrant of 1-2...

“There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.”—Montesquieu, Enlightenment philosopherFor those wondering what to expect from the government in 2023, it looks like we’re going to be in for more of the same in terms of the government’s brand of madness, mayhem, corruption and brutality.Digital prisons. Unceasingly, the government and its corporate partners are pushing for a national digital ID system. Local police agencies have already been given access to facial recognition software and databases containing 20 billion images, the precursor to a digital ID. Eventually,...

In men recently diagnosed with intermediate or high-grade prostate cancer, prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), PET/MRI can successfully determine whether their cancer is likely to return within two years of a prostatectomy. Armed with this information, physicians can identify patients who could benefit from additional treatment and/or frequent surveillance. "Clinicians currently use biopsy findings and clinical information, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, to predict if prostate cancer is slow-growing or if it will spread quickly and require aggressive treatments," said Andrei Iagaru, MD. "However, functional imaging, such as PET/MRI, is increasingly being considered as a way to identify patients...

As an organization committed to fighting all forms of hate, we know that this brutal death follows an explosion of racist murders and hate crimes across the U.S. “The national rage expressed about the murder of Mr. Floyd reflects the depth of pain over the injustice that People of Color — and particularly Black men — have been subjected to throughout the generations. In recent months we have seen, yet again, too many devastating examples of persistent systemic racism, “For the past two days, the Jewish community observed Shavuot, a holiday rooted in learning and action that commemorates when the...

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was captured on the House floor late Friday holding up her cell phone with former President Donald Trump on the line. After the House Republicans' failed 14th vote to elect GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy to the speakership, Greene tried getting Rep. Matt Rosendale to speak with the former president. 'It was the perfect phone call,' Greene tweeted, sharing Bloomberg's photo of the moment, where Trump's initials 'DT' were clearly seen on her iPhone screen. Rosendale, a Republican from Montana, had yelled out the name of Rep. Andy Biggs during the 14th round of voting.

Due to a FOIA request, we now finally know that safety signals for 770 serious adverse events triggered, but the CDC ignored them. Will there be an investigation? I doubt it. The CDC can do no wrong.Steve Kirsch Jan 5Executive summarySafety signals were generated in the VAERS system for death and 769 other severe adverse events. The CDC ignored all of them based on exactly the same bullshit reason that they used 13 years ago with HPV that is just “over reporting.” But there is no evidence whatsoever there is “over reporting.”We’ve done direct physician office surveys and nobody is...

Anyone who takes even a cursory look at the news – regardless the source – has to be aware of fentanyl – the latest of the killer drugs assaulting our society. It wasn't too long ago that virtually no one had ever heard of it. Now, it seems to be everywhere, and from what we are told, it is a killer of staggering proportions. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is said to be 50 times more potent than heroin. While the drug is found in all states, California is particularly hard hit, and the source, it appears, is movement...

The US government has stated that the polio vaccine is safe and even if you are correct that it is not safe, your views cannot be allowed to exist. Will they do the same for the COVID vaccine?Steve Kirsch Jan 5 This is page 255 in the 1984 Federal Register which says you can’t question the safety of the polio vaccine, even if you are correct:However, although the continued availability of the vaccine may not be in immediate jeopardy, any possible doubts, whether or not well founded, about the safety of the vaccine cannot be allowed to exist in view...

Independent journalist Matt Taibbi dropped more Twitter Files yesterday that dived a bit further into just how far the deep state went in censoring the information available to the American people. As we already know, the FBI had a veritable revolving door of former agents finding critical positions in the company. The FBI wasn’t the only spook outfit, though. The reality is not only did the FBI and CIA enable embedded former agents in the organization, they essentially made Twitter the de facto subcontractor for their counterintelligence work. As previously reported, the incoming requests for suppressing accounts due to alleged...
