Homosexuality is forbidden in Malaysia and laws criminalizing sodomy can result in imprisonment, corporal punishment Activists in Malaysia criticized Thursday a government decision to ban three books for allegedly promoting "LGBTQ lifestyles", saying it would further erode gay and transgender rights.

In the book, a teacher educates children on gender identity at a school after a student wearing a dress feels unwelcome in the boys' toilet. Two other children's books, "The Tale of Seven" and...

The president made the comments in the course of Tuesday’s address to the Federal Assembly – a speech to lawmakers which focused on the crisis in ties between Moscow and the West – and the ongoing Russia-NATO proxy conflict in Ukraine. The West is waging an aggressive information and culture war against Russia, and Moscow cannot allow its young people to fall victim to the kind of spiritual “degradation and degeneration” that has already befallen many Western countries, President Vladimir Putin has said. “They can’t help but realize that it’s not possible to defeat Russia on the battlefield, and so...

Archaeologists have long known about the Great Revolt, a battle between the ancient Egyptians and the Ptolemaic Kingdom that lasted from 207 B.C. to 184 B.C., because it is mentioned on the Rosetta Stone and in other historical texts. But now, archaeologists have finally discovered the exact location of one of the revolt's battles.In 2009, archaeologists began excavating a site known as Tell el-Timai, where an ancient Greco-Roman industrial city called Thmouis was located on the Nile Delta of northern Egypt. The excavations were part of the Tell Timai Archaeological Project, an ongoing program by the University of Hawaii to...

California’s budget deficit may be billions of dollars larger than the already big number predicted by Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, raising concerns about the Golden State’s fiscal future. Last month, Newsom announced that California faces a projected budget deficit of $22.5 billion for the coming fiscal year. The figure represented a striking downturn from last year, when the state enjoyed a surplus of about $100 billion due to federal COVID relief and surging capital gains. While the predicted year-to-year drop-off seemed large, it may not have been large enough. The California Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO), a government agency that analyzes...

Despite the overwhelming evidence that the mRNA gene therapy shots have a negative efficacy for Covid and pose many dangers, Australia’s far-left government and media are pushing people to get even a fifth Covid “vaccine” injection. Dr. Jane Frawley, a senior lecturer at the University of Technology Sydney, advises everyone over 18 to get a fifth shot if they have not been “vaccinated” in the past six months or had Covid. She insists “that now, people largely understand that the vaccines are safe and effective in preventing severe disease…”. However, many prominent doctors in Australia previously advocated for the “vaccines”...

Both the U.S. and the U.K. are refusing to investigate anomalous deaths. “Now, why are autopsies not being done in the United States? In a recent video posted to his YouTube channel, Dr. John Campbell provides unequivocal evidence that the mRNA covid vaccines cause brain and heart injury. Dr. Campbell and Michael Morz, the author of a paper published in December in the peer-reviewed journal Vaccines, conclude that the vaccines and not any natural infection killed a 73-year-old man in Germany in 2021. The autopsy was performed at the Institute of Pathology at the Municipal Hospital Dresden-Friedrichstadt.

Two studies reveal egg yolks mitigate the vaccine-induced spike protein. In the USA, several food processing plants and egg-laying facilities have mysteriously exploded or caught fire over the past year and farmers are saying chicken feed is stopping their hens from laying. Propagandists are blaming “bird flu” for the egg shortage and the subsequent soaring egg prices while at the same time nudging people to stop eating eggs. Is this all just a coincidence? Or is it an orchestrated war on natural foods to ensure Bill Gates makes a fortune out of his fake eggs and people only have access...

The Pandemic Treaty was big news last year until it was "defeated." But it wasn't actually defeated and now it's about to be signed by Joe Biden. Why is nobody talking about it? How do you con conservatives into backing off on an issue? You tell them you’re sorry and you won’t do it again. We saw it with PayPal who apologized for the “mistake” of threatening to confiscate $2500 from users for wrongthink. Conservatives saw this apology as a victory and stopped pressing the point. But the $2500 penalty still remains and nobody’s talking about it. That’s nothing compared...

Archaeologists excavating at the Roman fort of Vindolanda have found a phallus made of wood, which may have been a Roman sex toy from almost 2,000-years-ago. Vindolanda (translated as “white field” or “white moor”) was a Roman auxiliary fort, situated on the fringes of the Roman Empire near Hadrian’s Wall to guard a major highway called the Stanegate. No less than nine Roman forts were built of timber or stone at Vindolanda from around AD 85 to AD 370, creating one of the most complex archaeological sites in Britain and a unique cultural legacy of frontier life. The phallus was...
