On January 30, 2023, the @Belyshum Telegram channel shared a promotional video encouraging veterans of the U.S. armed forces to join Wagner PMC. The video shows footage of U.S. soldiers in combat and saluting the American flag. Addressing the viewers, the narrator says: "You were a hero to your country, giving your best years in the army... You dreamed of defeating evil [and] to make America great again… But in reality, you served [the] destruction of nations and the death of civilians, all for the will of adventuring families who thought they were earthly gods... You began to realize that...

Donald Trump launched a fresh attack on pop superstar Rihanna, just two days before the We Found Love singer headlines the Super Bowl's half time show. On his Truth Social social media platform, the ex-president wrote, 'Without her ‘Stylist’ she’d be NOTHING. Bad everything, and NO TALENT!' The show during the Chiefs v Eagles match-up will be Rihanna's first live performance in seven years. The ex-president's ire was raised after Texas Republican congressman Ronny Jackson urged the NFL to pull Rihanna from the Sunday's show after the Barbadian singer spray painted 'F**k Donald Trump' at the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo,...

Freepers please help write this tune by "Freep-a-fying" the words below: LyricsWell, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt We got a little crazy but we never got caught Down by the river on a Friday night A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me But I learned how to swim and I...

Scientists claim that there are fewer wild animals in neighborhoods where mostly people of color live - and their absence is affecting residents' mental health. A research study that looked into the genetic diversity of wildlife in neighborhoods across the United States found government rules that previously mandated separated neighborhoods based on race, is still having lingering after-effects on where animals choose to live decades on. The study suggests that areas where mostly white people live have a greater diversity when it come to animals living in the area.

Drug addicts in Oregon have come up with a scheme that sees them using their food stamps to buy cases of water which they then immediately empty out in order to obtain a 0.10 cents bottle deposit to then buy drugs with. Video footage shot in a parking lot on Portland sees one group of people with shopping carts full of pallets of bottled water, only to have them empty the contents out on the ground. The alleged addicts will then return to the supermarket from where they acquired the bottled water to obtain a recycling refund.

On a bitingly cold morning in Stockholm, two days ago, I stood among 200 mourners in a Muslim cemetery, set in a magnificent pine forest. They had come to bury a 15-year-old Afghan boy who had been shot dead, allegedly by a gangster of the same age. Yet as his coffin was lowered into the frozen ground, it seemed to me that we were also witnessing the death of Sweden’s great multi-cultural dream.

A New Jersey restaurant has sparked furious debate after revealing it was banning children under the age of 10 from dining in. Italian restaurant Nettie's, located in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, caused a stir on social media after making the announcement. In a Facebook post, a staff member said the ban would begin March 8, claiming its decision was due to rowdy children causing safety issues during peak dining times. The new policy comes after another woman called for 'adults only' suburbs to have 'peace and quiet' without any disturbances from children. Despite the growing calls for more strict no-kids...

Church of England considers abandoning Christianity The Church of England convened a synod this past week, a gathering of bishops, clergy and laypeople for the purpose of reviewing and possibly changing church doctrine. The result of this particular gathering was that the national assembly voted, after two days of debate, to let Anglican priests bless same-sex weddings and civil partnerships. The blessings will come despite the fact gay and lesbian weddings will still be prohibited in the church. Intended as a compromise measure after five years of discussions on the church’s position on human sexuality, the result is confusing...

...consciously or unconsciously, Zelenskiy has already learned much of what this history has to offer, whereas Vladimir Putin has demonstrably not. 1. leave strategy to your most talented generals. This is a warning Joseph Stalin did not heed. At the start of 1942, and despite having no military training, he ordered a major offensive against the German army around Kharkiv in Ukraine. More than 250,000 Red Army soldiers were lost as a result of the disastrous Kharkov operation. It was a defeat that was all the more humiliating because the Red Army had outnumbered the Germans on the battlefield. Putin,...

Welp. I guess no one told the illegal aliens bused from New York City to the Canadian border that it’s very cold there and snowy, too. It turns out that Latin Americans don’t much care for winter weather, Canadian-style.It’s a story that sounds like it’s written for the Babylon Bee. Illegal migrants arriving in NYC are offered free bus tickets to the Canadian border if they choose to seek asylum in the country to the north. Many migrants are taking advantage of the offer because of crime, homelessness, and drugs that are making life in that city intolerable for them....

The autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis can take a variety of courses. Determining the current and future course of the disease is important in order to slow down its course as much as possible. Researchers have presented a biomarker whose values in the blood allow such predictions. The researchers focused on a cell component that is measurable in the blood and is characteristic of a certain type of brain cell. These cells, called astrocytes, play a key role in multiple sclerosis (MS) processes, which can lead for example to permanent paralysis and disability. The blood level of this cellular component, called...

While many Americans are wondering how a Chinese spy balloon could have been allowed to cross over the entire length of the United States, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is heaping praise on President Biden for waiting until it's spy mission was accomplished before shooting it down. "As a sitting Senator, I had the privilege of being briefed by Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman," Romney boasted. "It was pointed out to me that by allowing China to complete its spy mission we accomplished some important things. First, letting China listen in on our military communications shows them that they have...

The newest vitamin B3 family member, nicotinamide riboside (NR) has been found to have beneficial effects on mitochondria in the human muscle. Currently, mitochondrial dysfunction cannot be treated. Recent findings encourage further investigation of whether this vitamin B3 form could serve as a potential therapeutic option for mitochondrial dysfunction. In a recent twin study, it was found that nicotinamide riboside (NR) increased the number of mitochondria in the muscle after long-term administration. In addition, NR improved the gut bacterial composition and increased the blood NAD+ concentrations. "Our study demonstrated the beneficial effects of long-term supplementation of NR on NAD+ metabolism,...
