White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment from the White House podium Tuesday about Special Counsel John Durham’s report on the investigation into Trump-Russia collusion. Durham’s 300-page report found that the FBI and Department of Justice "failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law" regarding its investigation into possible Russia collusion with the Trump campaign in 2016. Though the report dropped on Monday, only RealClearNews reporter Philip Wegmann referred to Durham’s report and asked for a reaction at the White House press briefing. "What is the White House reaction to special counsel report on how...

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is considering limits on certain food and drink like chocolate milk in schools to “reduce children’s risk of chronic disease.” In February, the USDA first proposed updates to public school nutrition standards that would limit sodium intake and added sugars from students’ diets. Among its proposals included limiting the amount of flavored milk, such as strawberry and chocolate, in high schools while outright prohibiting it in elementary and middle schools. “USDA is proposing to allow flavored milk for high school children only (grades 9-12). This approach would reduce exposure to added sugars and would...

Yuval Noah Harari is the author of international bestseller “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” (2014) and “Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow.” In his books, Harari promotes a future filled with transhumanism, upgraded super-humans who dominate the world, and a technocratic elite class where big tech companies like Facebook and Amazon are the new gods. Not surprisingly, Mark Zuckerberg is an open supporter of Harari stating his work is “a big history narrative of human civilization.”Well, the documented evidence on Harari just keeps piling up. His most recent report paints a picture of the future where the technocratic...

Scientists find that studies promoting an end to meat consumption in favor of vegetarian or insect consumption are fatally flawed and destructive to human health. Instead, meat has always been a staple of the human diet and societies that have little access to meat suffer huge health issues. Anti-meat rhetoric is nothing more than globalist propaganda to degrade the human population on planet earth. ⁃ Technocracy News Editor

Social media continues to be a strong value for young adults as a new survey reveals a majority of teenage TikTok users would give up the right to vote in order to keep access to the popular video-sharing app. The Reboot Foundation found 59% of young adults with TikTok accounts said that if forced to choose between their social media or voting rights for one year, they would give up the latter. Among teens, the rates of voluntary disenfranchisement were even higher: 64% of those aged 13 to 17 said they would give up their vote to keep social content...

A new report by the Climate and Health Alliance has suggested the Irish diet and food system is like a slow-motion disaster, fueling premature death and disability due to diet-related chronic diseases. The report calls for the ending of the junk food cycle and a switch away from processed foods to more plant-based diets. The report said the global food system can feed the world, but it has also made people heavier and sicker. The report also said it destroys wildlife, pollutes rivers and air, and is responsible for a third of greenhouse gas emissions. The report is concerned that...

An outraged mother is calling for the bullies that traumatized her disabled son by using his wheelchair while making fun of him to face consequences. Kimberly Mitchell of Louisiana sent a letter addressing a recent 'senior prank' at Abbeville High School in which students mocked her son Tay'Shawn Landry, who has cerebral palsy and requires a motorized wheelchair. In the videos, a group is seen in the school wreaking havoc by covering a hallway in toilet paper, stacking desks and chairs on top of each other, and riding around in the wheelchair. One video shared by the mother shows a...

For half a century, Gursaran Pran Talwar has been developing what he hopes will be the next big thing in birth control. A nonagenarian who was once the director of India’s National Institute of Immunology, Talwar envisions bringing to market a new form of contraception that could block pregnancy without the usual trade-offs—an intervention that’s long-acting but reversible; cheap, discreet, and easy to administer; less invasive than an intrauterine device and more convenient than a daily pill. It would skip messy, sometimes dangerous side effects, such as weight gain, mood swings, and rare but risky blood clots and strokes. It...

The interceptions are an embarrassment for the Russian military. Back in 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin billed the Dagger, or Kinzhal in Russian, as a “next-generation” Russian weapon. Russian officials claimed that the missile can go 10 times faster than the speed of sound, reach any point in Ukraine, and is able to evade all but the most sophisticated air defense systems. Experts questioned those claims, arguing that the missile is just a modification of an existing missile that Putin was trying to rebrand. Russian officials must be reeling in utter disbelief after seven of their most sophisticated missiles were...

On this day in 1521, Edward Stafford, 43, third duke of Buckingham, was beheaded on Tower Hill outside the Tower of London, found guilty of high treason against Henry VIII. In Shakespeare’s play Henry VIII, the king said of Buckingham, “He hath into monstrous habits put the graces that were once his, and is become as black as if besmear’d in hell.” Today few believe that the duke actively plotted to overthrow his king. But Edward Stafford was guilty nonetheless — of being too noble, too rich and too arrogant to survive in the increasingly paranoid court of Henry VIII,...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Michael Adams, Kentucky’s incumbent secretary of state, easily won the Republican primary on Tuesday against two challengers. Adams had garnered 63.9% percent of the vote by 7:02 p.m. The Associated Press called the race at that point. He will face Democratic opponent Buddy Wheatley, a former state House member from Covington, in the November election. As the state’s chief elections official, Adams ran for reelection on accomplishments ranging from increased early voting to removing dead voters from voting lists. But he attracted two primary challengers -- Steve Knipper, who campaigned on unproven claims about Kentucky election...

[Catholic Caucus] Love Me, Love My Sins?Fr. James Martin seems to think that LGBTQ+ love is a special way of loving that shouldn’t be governed by the rules that apply to others.“We are all sinners.” It’s true, of course; but it’s a phrase that can become a platitude when it’s overused. Currently, the phrase “We’re all sinners” seems to pop up rather frequently in discussions about transgenderism and other deviations from one-man/one-woman unions. When Catholics who are faithful to Church teaching on sexuality write about transgenderism and other forms of LGBTQ+ sexuality, they almost invariably include an apology for having...

New York is sinking, and its skyscrapers are bringing it down. That's the finding of a new study that modeled the geology beneath the city compared to satellite data showing its footprint is collapsing into Earth. Technically called subsidence, this gradual settling or sudden sinking of Earth's surface occurs when soft sediments shift, or loads bearing down on the ground push it deeper still. There are many causes, but the weight of cities themselves is rarely studied. New York is sinking at a rate of 1-2 millimeters per year, the study found, under the weight of its sky-high buildings. A...

An Indiana father who adopted a six-year-old Ukrainian girl with his wife 2010, only to then come to believe she was an adult dwarf set on harming them, has claimed she threatened to kill someone in their home. Michael Barnett says Natalia Grace told him: 'I promise you within five years someone is dead.' He has spoken out in a new documentary entitled The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, which will be released in three parts on Investigation Discovery (ID) starting on May 29. Barnett and his wife, Kristine, petitioned to have Natalia Grace's birth certificate changed and a judge...

Change has been the name of the game for the Riverbend Festival in recent years, and the changes keep coming as the Bud Light Stage has been renamed the Ultra Stage. The change was made at the request of TriStar Beverage of Chattanooga, the distributor for both Bud Light and Michelob Ultra, according to Friends of the Festival Executive Director Mickey McCamish. He said in a text the change request was made last year. "Michelob Ultra is the most requested beer among our guests," McCamish said. "When we met with the sponsor last fall, we made the request to have...
