Excuse us while we adjust the fourth ... no wait ... fifth tinfoil hat we've had in just this year alone. We've learned to appreciate the tinfoil because it seems more often than not there is enough truth in what we're hearing (seeing, reading, etc) that we need to pay attention. We need to write about it, share it, get that info out there because we know the mainstream media will not. In fact, they'll work very hard to make those of us talking about it out to be CRAY-CRAY. It's what they do. And this from Tucker Carlson about...

Manson family killer Leslie Van Houten's recent whiff of freedom will not be snuffed out by California Gov. Gavin Newsom ... he says he won't block her upcoming parole. Newsom's office announced the decision in a Friday afternoon news dump, saying the governor would not challenge an earlier appeals court decision clearing the way for Van Houten's release.

Fox News retracted a hit piece against former President Donald Trump and admitted they “inaccurately attributed” an anti-Trump quote to former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price. Fox News’s story had the following headline: “Former Trump Cabinet member tells him to ‘kiss’ his ‘butt.” The since-retracted, purportedly exclusive story read, in part: EXCLUSIVE: Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price told Fox News Digital there’s “no way” he will support former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid. When asked whether he will endorse Trump, Price said, “After he fired me? No way.” “The only thing that guy has...

Brace yourself for the strangest trend yet: RCTA, otherwise known as "race change to Asian," currently has a chokehold on some chronically-online teens. Trends are always popping up and finding new, impressionable victims. In the past couple of years, several TikTokers were found to fake mental conditions ranging from multiple personality disorder to Tourette's syndrome. Now, TikTok users have discovered a small (but growing) movement known as "RCTA," which stands for "race change to Asian." In this case, they usually mean Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. The term was popularized after Rachel Dolezal made headlines for faking her ethnicity. Dolezal, a...

"Despite not being confirmed by the U.S. Senate, John Kerry is still negotiating with the Chinese Communist Party to push a radical, Green New Deal agenda detrimental to American interests," House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Friday. "President Biden granted his Climate Czar the ability to unilaterally set foreign policy and bind the United States to international agreements without consent from Congress," Comer continued. "China now recognizes that this is an opportunity to take advantage of this Administration’s weak leadership that consistently puts the priorities of Americans last."...

Would you look at that? What is being referred to as a Lefty Twitter Wannabe that is supposedly free of hateful content (because you know, Elon Musk ensuring people of all political persuasions have a voice on his platform is hateful) sure seems hateful if you're in any way, shape or form Right-leaning. Some have even called it the 'Twitter Killer,' but so far we are less than impressed. Look at what's happening to Libs of TikTok's Chaya Raichik: As a woman, it’s pretty creepy when a man is obsessed with you and harasses you on social media. pic.twitter.com/pKelmEwDKM —...

Until this past weekend, Nadia Baranchuk, MD, an emergency medicine physician at Northwell Health on Long Island, had never treated a shark bite victim -- or even seen one -- in her 10-year career. But this July 4, she treated two shark bite victims in a single afternoon. Luckily, both patients could walk and didn't need an ambulance to bring them to the emergency room. While shark attacks remain exceedingly rare, Long Island makes up a significant portion of East Coast cases. Last year, there were five bites in a 2-week period, and this weekend, there were at least two...

[Catholic Caucus] Pope’s new doctrine watchdog assures: ‘I’m not a Soros spy’ROME – Pope Francis’s new top theological advisor has attempted to reassure voices in the United States and elsewhere who’ve questioned his adherence to Catholic teaching and tradition, vowing that he’s not a “Soros spy infiltrated in the Church.”“I am not a Freemason, nor an ally of the New World Order, nor a Soros spy infiltrated in the Church. Those are pure fantasies,” said Archbishop Víctor Manuel Fernández, an Argentine theologian tapped by the pontiff July 1 as the new prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the...

The carrier and Teamsters union leaders have halted labor talks despite coming to terms on most major issues, leading businesses that rely on UPS to prepare for potential disruptions next month.With a little more than three weeks until UPS workers’ threatened strike date arrives, businesses that rely on the nation’s largest package carrier have been considering their plan Bs. Teamsters leaders representing 340,000 UPS employees have already announced tentative deals toward a new five-year labor contract, addressing air conditioning in vehicles, workforce structure and more. But an overall agreement has yet to materialize, and the company and union have been...

The average person accidentally consumes one pound of bugs each year, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). This is because fruits, vegetables, spices and many processed foods are legally permitted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to contain tiny levels of bug parts, which add up over time. For example, fig paste can contain up to 13 insect heads in 100 grams, canned fruit juices can have a maggot for every 250 milliliters and 10 grams of hops used to make beer can be the home for 2,500 small sap-sucking insects. And while there is much debate...

Recurrent cystitis (RC) is a frequent infection of the urinary tract and bladder, which is highly prevalent among postmenopausal women. Under healthy circumstances, the human vagina is home to a host of beneficial intestinal bacteria, such as Lactobacilli. However, in the case of urinary tract infections (UTIs), there is a decrease in the abundance of Lactobacilli and an increase in pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli). To bridge this gap, scientists demonstrated the relationship between vaginal microbiota and RC by comparing the vaginal microbiota of postmenopausal women with and without cystitis. When comparing the vaginal microbiome in the...

Illinois will soon require landlords to rent and sell property to illegal aliens, opening the housing market to tens of thousands considered deportable from the United States, even as rents remain sky-high in metropolitan areas like Chicago. Late last month, Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) signed SB 1817 into law, which will add “immigration status” as a protected class under the Illinois Human Rights Act.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre bristled at a question during the press briefing Friday on the cocaine found at the White House and asserted that asking if it belonged to President Joe Biden or Hunter Biden was “incredibly irresponsible.” “The Biden family was not here. They were not here. They were at Camp David. They were not here Friday. They were not here Saturday. They were not here Sunday. They were not even here Monday. They came back on Tuesday. So to ask that question is actually incredibly irresponsible,” Jean-Pierre said.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan claimed during a briefing on Friday that Ukraine will be careful with American-provided cluster bombs. Sullivan confirmed reports that President Joe Biden will supply Ukraine with cluster bombs, which much of the world has vowed not to use due to long-term effects on civilians.

On Thursday night, with sunken faces, Channel 13’s legal correspondents delivered the news: The judges presiding over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial for bribery and breach of trust had told the prosecutors and defense attorney last week that the prosecutors have not proven their charge of bribery, and are unlikely to succeed in doing so, since all their major witnesses have already testified. The implications are earthshattering. For the past seven years, two forces—the state prosecution and the media—have pushed Israel to the brink of civil war in their effort to criminalize Netanyahu and demonize his supporters. Their goal was...

Subway, the popular sandwich chain, faced criticism after a sign at one of its Georgia stores appeared to make light of the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible. The Titan submersible, which was descending to the ocean floor to view the wreckage of the Titanic, suffered a catastrophic implosion resulting in the death of all five people onboard. The sign at the Subway restaurant in Rincon, Georgia, read “Our subs don’t implode,” drawing backlash for its insensitivity. Subway has since removed the sign and issued a statement expressing disapproval of the comment. The Controversial Sign The sign displayed at the...
