QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; It makes no sense for Poland to support Ukraine when they refused to ever apologize for their slaughter of 100,000 of us in their ethnic cleansing under Bandara. The rumor is that Poland had hoped that Russia would defeat Ukraine and take the Donbas and that Poland would retake the Western part of Ukraine. Have you heard anything about that? Thank you for your truth in the middle of a war. ANSWER: There has also been an underlying resentment in Poland against the Nazi-Ukrinians who have never apologized and have never changed. They simply still cling to...

Forensic anthropologists working in the famous Rising Star cave system in South Africa have found evidence of ancient human burials that predate the earliest currently known Homo sapiens’ burials by at least 100,000 years. In their search to understand human origins, the team of forensic anthropologists and explores identified depressions deep in the chambers of the Rising Star cave system. Bodies of Homo naledi adults and several children, estimated to be younger than 13 years of age, were deposited in fetal positions within pits, which suggests intentional burial of the dead. The Homo naledi fossils have been dated to around...

Strong Tornado just hit Matador Texas chasers pulling people form homes fatalities confirmed

Lindsay Jones, better known as TexasLindsay, quit her corporate job last year to dedicate her time to spreading the truth about the harms of the COVID-19 vaccine. Jones joined Liz Collin Reports this week to discuss her work fighting Big Tech censorship, including helping write the Twitter Files. Jones first became aware of mass censorship in January 2021 when she read what she called an “alarming” article from a Ph.D. researcher. The article exposed the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccine for children. Jones knew she had to get the information out, so she shared the article on Facebook. What usually...

A submersible carrying tourists to look at the remains of the Titanic went missing on Sunday, and the odds of anyone onboard surviving grow lower by the day. It’s also been reported that the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, the company behind the excursion, is onboard. And the more information that comes out, the less surprising it is that we’ve ended up in this situation. Metro reports that last year, when asked about the safety of the Titan submersible, Stockton Rush, OceanGate’s CEO, said, “You know, there’s a limit. At some point safety just is pure waste. I mean if you...

The area surrounding Titanic's Atlantic grave grows busier with search vessels as everyone tries to get eyes on the missing OceanGate submersible.Earlier this week, a submarine full of tourists disappeared while on a trip to the wreckage of the Titanic. The sub was equipped with 96 hours of oxygen, meaning rescuers are racing against the clock to locate the missing sub and save its occupants from watery, claustrophobic hell. The latest update? They’re still down there. However, rescuers have noticed a sound coming from beneath the North Atlantic, a set of “banging” noises first discovered by a Canadian plane. They’re...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with type 2 inflammation saw rapid and sustained improvements in their disease after treatment with the monoclonal antibody dupilumab, according to a yearlong, Phase 3 clinical trial. These improvements—as measured by a significantly lower annualized rate of acute exacerbations, significantly better lung function and quality of life, and significantly less severe symptoms than placebo-treated adults with COPD—were observed within two to four weeks after the initiation of dupilumab and were sustained throughout the 52-week trial period. This monoclonal antibody is the first biologic shown to improve clinical outcomes in COPD. "Dupilumab has the potential to...

Please pray for my family. We were notified Monday night that our 41-year-son, Ryan, was found deceased in his home at 9 pm. He was on a new antidepressant that he said wasn’t working. He put his house on the market at 2:30 pm and decided to burn some leaves around the house to clean up the property. This caused a small brush fire that damaged his neighbor’s trailer, so the Fire Dept. was called and he received a citation. My son has had a problem with alcohol throughout his adult life, but he hadn’t been drinking much in last...

Former CIA Director John Brennan claimed Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former special counsel John Durham and Republicans skewed findings and misrepresented facts. Brennen said, “When I read the report, when it came out, I think my reaction was much like others. I was very — it was underwhelming. The Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz did a good job pointing out some of the missteps, and the tactical missteps the FBI made as it pursued this investigation. And also the Senate Intelligence Committee did a review of this.”

Last year a massive study on the happiness of high school seniors was published. The study looked at 86,138 high school seniors from 2005-2018. It found that unhappiness was on the rise among these students: Some other trends do appear. Men are happier than women, conservatives are happier than liberals, and ideology matters more than gender. Remember, we’re not looking at the same people as they’re aging. We’re looking at groups of 12th graders over time. The gap between conservatives and liberals has widened. That’s mainly because 12th grade female liberals are become unhappier faster than others at that age....

The other day, Joe Biden ended a big gun-control speech in Connecticut with the words, “God save the queen, man.” Why did the president express adoration for the departed Brit monarch? Was he confused about royal succession? Is he a Sex Pistols fan? Who knows. When asked about the incident, White House aides offered nonsensical and conflicting answers — because they have absolutely no idea, and neither does the president. It’s likely that the octogenarian spontaneously used a cool-sounding phrase, much like when your elderly neighbor tells you to “keep on truckin,'” for no apparent reason. It happens. Yet, Axios...

The delegation met with Vatican officials and prayed for the well-being of Pope FrancisA Thai delegation led by senior Buddhist monks visited the Vatican, which a Vatican official described as "a pilgrimage of friends.” The delegation met with top Vatican officials and prayed for the speedy recovery of Pope Francis during the two-day visit last week, Vatican News reported. The eighty-member delegation met with the representatives of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue at the Augustinianum Institute on June 15. The members of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, including Cardinal Miguel Angel Ayuso, Prefect of the Dicastery, and Monsignor Indunil...

The messy feud between two of MAGA world’s biggest stars burst into public view on Wednesday, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a “little bitch” to her face on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. The angry exchange came as the two lawmakers have been swiping at each other over their competing resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden. But tensions came to a head on Wednesday after Boebert leveraged a procedural tool to force a vote on her own impeachment resolution within days—undercutting Greene, who had offered her own resolution, but not with...

ACI Prensa Staff, Jun 16, 2023 / 16:45 pm The dictatorship of President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, has ordered the bank accounts of several priests in some Nicaraguan dioceses to be frozen, according to the Nicaraguan lawyer and researcher Martha Patricia Molina. In a statement to ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner, Molina, the author of the report “Nicaragua: A Persecuted Church?”, reported that priests from dioceses such as Granada, Jinotega, León, Matagalpa, and Estelí had informed her “about their bank accounts being blocked” on June 14. “At first, some of them thought the system...

At present the WHO does not recommend nutrient supplements for children with stunted growth—a health problem that affects more than one in five children under the age of 5 globally. The rationale is that supplements do not benefit growth, but instead put children at risk of becoming overweight. However, this is wrong according to a study: supplements can reverse stunting. "The body is already deficient, meaning that their bones and muscles are not getting the nutrients, especially minerals and proteins, required for optimal growth," explains Benedikte Grenov. A longstanding consensus has been that nutrient supplements are unable to stimulate growth...

Mexican beer Modelo Especial recently dethroned Bud Light as the top-selling beer brand in the U.S., with the growing Hispanic drinking age population and an increased trend toward premiumization as main causes, according to a top analyst. "Everybody kind of figured Bud Light was getting hit by that boycott so that fell out of number one. If I told you that the new top-selling brand is Mexican, you might be surprised. If I told you it's Mexican and not Corona … who would've thought Modelo Especial?" Barron's associate editor Jack Hough said during an appearance on Fox Business's "Barron's Roundtable."...

In McMahon v. World Vision Inc., (WD WA, June 12, 2023), a Washington federal district court dismissed a Title VII sex discrimination suit, finding it is barred by the Church Autonomy Doctrine. A Christian ministry's job offer to plaintiff for the full-time position of Donor/Customer Service Representative Trainee was rescinded when defendant learned that plaintiff was in a same-sex marriage. The court discussed the relationship between the Church Autonomy Doctrine and the Ministerial Exception, concluding that the Church Autonomy Doctrine may be invoked when a non-ministerial employee brings a Title VII action. The court said in part: ... [T]he Church...

Teachers’ unions constantly strike, demanding more cash and less work, while claiming that they’re not teaching students for the sake of the students. Meanwhile, they are the interface between a public school system and the nation’s children that has destroyed education and test scores while constantly advocating against policies, like test scores and standards, that provide an objective view of outcomes.All of that was bad enough, but during the pandemic, teachers’ unions became the loudest and most forceful voices demanding the shutdown of schools because it made life easier for them. Zoom school raised suicide rates and lowered student test...

The House Judiciary Committee is having a hearing today on Special Counsel John Durham's report on the FBI's involvement in the Great Russia Collusion Hoax of 2016. Meanwhile, their Senate counterpart is having a hearing on the importance of "Protecting Pride: Defending the Civil Rights of LGBTQ+ Americans." Especially young LGBTQ+ Americans, whose very lives are at risk as we speak thanks to all the evil anti-LGBTQ+ laws that state legislatures are passing to keep little boys and girls from being psychologically and physically and chemically transformed into little girls and boys and to keep women who are biologically male...
