Some vegetables are currently being “rationed” by major United Kingdom supermarkets. Aldi, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury’s have all put limits on customer purchases of peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers. So far, the mainstream media has blamed Brexit (which makes little sense considering the bulk of the UK’s vegetables come from Morocco) or the weather. Both of these are advantageous for the public to believe regarding the plans to install a “New World Order” totalitarian slave system using “climate change” as the scapegoat. The cost of producing, harvesting, and transporting all crops has spiked because the cost of oil and gas was...

In a fiery House floor speech, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) tore into his fellow Republicans for not doing more to rein in the Democratic agenda and maintain their campaign promises.

Twitter users recoiled after President Biden on Tuesday gave intimate details of his treatment in a medical facility. Biden was speaking about health care policy in Virginia Beach, Virginia, when he told a story about a nurse he said was named Pearl Nelson. "She'd come in and do things I don't think you learn in nursing school," he said. "She'd whisper in my ear, I couldn't understand, but she'd whisper, and she'd lean down and actually breathe on me to make sure there was a human connection," Biden continued.

The beef cattle inventory in the United States is at its lowest point since 1962, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA’s biannual cattle report showed that, as of Jan. 1, 2023, there is a 89.3 million head inventory — which is three percent lower than the total from a year ago and the lowest since 2015. Of that number, 38.3 million cows and heifers have calved. Additionally, there are 28.9 million beef cows, which are those explicitly bred for slaughter and meat sales, as of the start of this year — which is down...

A four-year phase 2 clinical trial demonstrated that a peanut allergy treatment called sublingual immunotherapy, or SLIT, is effective and safe, while offering durable desensitization to peanuts in peanut-allergic children. SLIT is a treatment using a tiny amount of peanut protein that is the equivalent of only 1/75th of a peanut kernel. It is taken under the tongue, where it is absorbed into the body. The research shows that a 4 mg dose of peanut SLIT provides strong desensitization that would be expected to protect against accidental exposures to peanut in the majority of children. …The current trial was designed...

Explanation: Is star AE Aurigae on fire? No. Even though AE Aurigae is named the Flaming Star and the surrounding nebula IC 405 is named the Flaming Star Nebula, and even though the nebula appears to some like a swirling flame, there is no fire. Fire, typically defined as the rapid molecular acquisition of oxygen, happens only when sufficient oxygen is present and is not important in such high-energy, low-oxygen environments such as stars. The bright star AE Aurigae occurs near the center of the Flaming Star Nebula and is so hot it glows blue, emitting light so energetic it...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (TND) — The Democratic Party is all but dead in Florida — no Democrat holds a statewide office — and now a state senator who was chairman of the Florida Republican Party is trying to kill it entirely. Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, introduced SB1248 — “The Ultimate Cancel Act” — on Tuesday, “requiring the Division of Elections to immediately cancel the filings of a political party if certain conditions exist.” Among those conditions: “If the party’s platform has previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude.” Southern Democrats wanted to continue slavery during...

Joe Scarborough picked a good morning to take a day off from Morning Joe. It came the day after Fox News aired an interview with FBI Director Chris Wray in which he said "The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan . . . Here you are talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab." The MSM "conventional wisdom" corps has long dismissed the notion that the virus originated in a government-controlled lab as a Sino-phobic conspiracy theory. They believed it came...

A major ransomware attack compromised a host of sensitive information held by the US Marshals Service, including details about potential targets of investigations and employees of the federal law enforcement agency. The cyberattack was discovered in “a stand-alone USMS system” on Feb. 17 and prompted a forensic investigation by the Department of Justice, said Drew Wade, a spokesperson for the Marshals Service. On Feb. 22, officials from the Marshals Service briefed investigators from the DOJ, who determined the breach was a “major incident” that affected an array of sensitive law enforcement information. “The affected system contains law enforcement sensitive information,...

WASHINGTON (AP) — COVID-19's origins remain hazy. Three years after the start of the pandemic, it's still unclear whether the coronavirus that causes the disease leaked from a lab or spread to humans from an animal.

On an uncertain date in March 1289, fallen nobleman Ugolino della Gherardesca was immured in a Pisan tower with two sons and two grandsons — all doomed to starve to death and land in the Inferno. In the dangerous Guelph vs. Ghibelline political landscape, Gherardesca had a knack for switching sides. Originally a Ghibelline, he was banished once for plotting but returned with the support of Guelphs, and was made podesta to negotiate with Pisa’s Guelph enemies, Florence and Lucca. Having made the unpopular but perhaps politically necessary decision to buy peace with Florence at the expense of territory and...

'Bush's Brain' says CPAC straw poll would be 'completely meaningless.' More evidence is emerging that Karl Rove is a big fan of Ron DeSantis as the 2024 GOP Presidential Primary field shakes out. In comments on the Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom, the former George W. Bush adviser lauded DeSantis for his decision to skip the Conservative Political Action Conference later this week and to “very smartly” take a “measured” approach toward a 2024 rollout. “Take, for example, this weekend. Rather than going to CPAC — which is a completely pro-Donald Trump crowd and having a number at the end...

Recent reports attribute the nationwide low reading proficiency for K-12 students, in part, to progressive curricula from teachers colleges. Progressive approaches to teaching reading, one education advocate said, come from a 'desire to ... move away from what had been thought of as the drudgery and pain of institutional style education.' ... Recent reports show that school districts are ditching progressive curricula from teachers colleges and returning to best practices for reading. The nationwide low reading proficiency for K-12 students is attributed, in part, to these curricula. Though Campus Reform has identified teachers colleges as sites of social justice and...

A Chinese energy company financially linked to Hunter Biden, the son of the President of the United States, developed technology to improve cotton harvesting in Xinjiang, an industry that relies on Chinese Communist Party forced labor. The invention – a thin film to cover fields – was created by the Biden-linked Chinese state-owned enterprise Sinopec and helped defend cotton from unfavorable climate conditions and weeds, according to The Global Times. The development comes amidst controversy over the use of forced labor in Xinjiang’s cotton fields, prompting many Western clothing brands to halt their use of cotton from the region. U.S....

28 Feb 2023 Be aware that both the Jan 2023 and Feb 2023 Antarctic Sea Ice Extents have set new record lows for Sea Ice Extents. Each day in January was lower than all previous years sea ice extents, and (now) February's Antarctic Sea Ice Extents have been released. They too were lower than all previous years of the satellite record period (1978-2023.) The NCIDC Sea Ice publicists will certainly report this event. But. What the NSIDC and other Global Warming publicity boards will NOT mention is the ever-increasing, all time record-breaking HIGH Sea Ice trend around Antarctica from 1992...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is set to join the University of Virginia as a professor at its Center for Politics. “With democracy under fire in this country and elsewhere around the world, Liz Cheney serves as a model of political courage and leadership,” the center’s director, Larry Sabato, said in a statement. “Liz will send a compelling message to students about integrity. She’s a true profile in courage, and she was willing to pay the price for her principles — and democracy itself.” Cheney will participate in university-wide lectures, serve as a guest lecturer in student seminars, contribute to...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that “politics got in the way of a lot of looking for the truth” on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic while discussing FBI Director Chris Wray agreeing with the U.S. Department of Energy that COVID likely came from a Chinese lab leak. Goldberg said, “The politics got in the way of a lot of looking for the truth, but they still are not saying definitively, and that’s a problem. They still don’t know for sure. You know, who knows where it came from? Maybe it did, maybe it didn’t....

Mississippi has become the latest state to ban health care professionals from providing “gender-affirming care” for transgender youth in what officials say will stop the attempt to “push a sick and twisted ideology” on children. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, signed the GOP-led House Bill 1125, also known as the “Regulate Experimental Adolescent Procedures (REAP) Act” into law on Feb. 28. Under the legislation, which is effective immediately, individuals in the state are banned from “knowingly engaging in conduct that aids or abets” the performance or inducement of gender transition procedures for Mississippians under the age of 18.
