Anti-vaccine sentiment has infected almost every part of America after the Covid pandemic - from academia to politics. But the anti-vax movement appears to have now have infiltrated the world of online sperm donation, where wannabe mothers seek out samples from men who refused to take the Covid shot. Jonathan David Rinaldi, dubbed 'The Sperminator', was a prolific donor for years on the Facebook group Sperm Donation USA, the largest sperm donation group in America. But after seeing a 'massive increase' in requests for sperm from unvaccinated donors, he broke off and started his own splinter group exclusively for the...

A grandmother from New Mexico was shot dead by a Los Cruces police officer who fired upon her as she attempted to speed away in her car, shocking newly-released footage shows. Teresa Gomez, 45, was killed by officer Felipe Hernandez, an eight year veteran with the force in the early hours of the morning on October 3rd, just before 5am.

America has lost all control. The numbers are eye-watering. Around 600,000 'gotaways' crossed the Southern border undetected in the last fiscal year. 900,000 more, out of 2.4 million migrants encountered by guards, were willingly released into the US. In total, that's equivalent to the population of Philadelphia. Of course, Joe Biden and his Democrats are to blame. But now their own party's mayors are begging for billions of taxpayer dollars to remedy a problem they asked for.

Explanation: It was Halloween and the sky looked like a creature. Exactly which creature, the astrophotographer was unsure (but possibly you can suggest one). Exactly what caused this eerie apparition in 2013 was sure: one of the best auroral displays that year. This spectacular aurora had an unusually high degree of detail. Pictured here, the vivid green and purple auroral colors are caused by high atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen reacting to a burst of incoming electrons. Birch trees in Tromsø, Norway formed an also eerie foreground. Frequently, new photogenic auroras accompany new geomagnetic storms.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the U.S. to provide more funding to help his forces counter Russia, and invited former U.S. President Donald Trump to fly in to see the scale of the conflict for himself. Zelenskyy said American soldiers could eventually be pulled into a greater European conflict with Russia if Washington did not step up support. "If Russia will kill all of us, they will attack NATO countries and you will send your sons and daughters [to fight]," Zelenskyy said...

"Ukrainian soldiers shoot their own foreign colleagues: - During an argument between Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries in the Ukrainian army the go-pro camera of one of them caught the first ones shooting and killing at close range English speaking militants. It has been reported before (https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses/34827) that nationalist units act as barrier detachments to prevent conscripts from surrendering or leaving their positions, in the video the English speaking troops are ordering Ukrainians to go back to their lines when they are shoot by them. - I would say in this case the foreign mercenaries are the ones keeping the...

When then-Lance Cpl. Javier Ortiz came home from a secret mission in Syria, the ghost of a dead girl appeared to him in his kitchen. She was pale and covered in chalky dust, as if hit by an explosion, and her eyes stared at him with a glare as dark and heavy as oil.The 21-year-old Marine was part of an artillery gun crew that fought against the Islamic State group, and he knew that his unit’s huge cannons had killed hundreds of enemy fighters. The ghost, he was sure, was their revenge.A shiver went through him. He backed into another...

Donald Trump has claimed that he won all 50 states in the 2020 US election at a Florida event where two of his rivals for the Republican presidential primaries were booed for suggesting the party should dump the former president before his legal woes catch up with him. "We won, the last time, 50 states, think of it, 50 states," he told the Freedom Summit, outside Orlando, Florida, on Saturday night. "We won every state. We then did great in the election. We got 12 million more votes or so … 12 million more votes than we got the first...

No, this isn’t the tilt effect in the mortgage market where inflation is front-loaded in mortgage rates making mortgage payments quite unaffordable. Although inflation is causing mortgage rates to be up 174% under Biden (while Biden continues to brag about how Bidenomics is helping). Meanwhile, the 10Y Treasury yield is up 402% under Biden (making refinancing the US staggering debt load more difficult to refinance. Higher mortgage rates tilt the present value of mortgage payments to the front, making housing even more unaffordable. Thanks Joe! But the Tilt effect I am talking about is the TLT effect. TLT (iShares US...

"By analysing Uranus’s aurora which directly connects to both the planet's magnetic field and atmosphere, we can make predictions about the atmospheres and magnetic fields of these worlds and hence their suitability for life. "Our results will go on to broaden our knowledge of ice giant auroras and strengthen our understanding of planetary magnetic fields in our solar system, at exoplanets and even our own planet." Earlier this year scientists revealed new data found two of the 27 moons orbiting Uranus could have active oceans deep beneath their surfaces where extra terrestrials (ETs) could also be present. The news comes...

Matthew 23:1-12 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus turns his sharp eye and withering critique on the many ways that religious leaders fall into corruption. What precisely is bothering Jesus? Some religious leaders get their kicks from burdening people, laying the law on them heavily, making demands that are terrible, exulting in their own moral superiority.At the core of Jesus’ program is a willingness to bear other people’s burdens, to help them carry their loads. And this applies to the moral life as well. If we lay the burden of God’s law on people, we must be willing, at the same...

The World Health Organization warned that Gaza hospitals are at a breaking point. That was October 12. UNICEF warned that incubators were hours away from being shut down due to lack of fuel in Gaza: That was October 22. Now, let's look at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City last night, where Hamas held a rally, complete with huge video screen: Notice all the lights, inside and outside the hospital. Looks like they had plenty of fuel there, three weeks after supplies were supposed to run dry. It's a miracle! UNICEF and WHO are useful idiots, willing to believe the lies...

After hearing testimony from former Pittsburgh US Attorney Scott Brady to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) assailed Attorney General Merrick Garland wanting to know "why certain Justice Department and FBI officials improperly delayed and impeded investigative activity into the Biden family." "Consider that the FBI had information from a credible source that Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, had paid then-VP Joe Biden and Hunter Biden a bribe of $5 million apiece to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired," Grassley said. "Further, Joe Biden was video taped publicly bragging about how he withheld a billion...
