In 1994, practically at the dawn of the internet, Snopes was a fun site that saw two married socialists debunk pervasive urban legends about razors in Halloween candy and hooked hands stuck to car door handles. During the Obama years, it turned into a Democrat mouthpiece that masqueraded as a fact-checking site. That Democrat fealty explains why it’s taken the site seven years to debunk the “very fine people” hoax that painted Trump as a white supremacist and that Joe Biden used to open his 2020 campaign. Snopes was fun in the beginning but decayed badly when the founding couple,...

As the 2024 election cycle takes shape, the South Carolina Senate Republican Caucus is jumping in to make deep-red South Carolina as liberal as possible. The South Carolina Senate Republican Caucus is fighting to preserve abortion and advance the homo agenda in the Palmetto State, dumping cash and support into the re-election campaigns of State Senators who’ve supported abortion, gay marriage, and anti-speech hate crime legislation championed by the LGBT lobby. In Senate Districts 23 and 41, the South Carolina Senate Republican Caucus is backing the re-election campaigns of two of the “Sister Senators” who joined forces with Democrats to...

I've been informed by the few liberals utopian socialists who still deign to speak to me that there is no secret confederacy of left-wing pedophiles ravaging hordes of children and that this was just a conspiracy theory whipped by tobaccy-chawin', trailer-dwellin' whackjobs. So I thought I'd pour some bourbon over an ice cube the size of the Death Star, gather some clues, and see what we can learn. Pedophile Flashback: Remember when a trans dudette calling himself Stacie Marie Laughton, a former New Hampshire state rep., was busted for child pornography? CLUES #1-85,000: Biden Administration 'Loses' 85,000 Unaccompanied Minor Children...

A new study has found evidence linking the intake of small fish, eaten whole, with a reduced risk of all-cause and cancer mortality in Japanese women. The study highlights the potential life-extending benefits of habitually eating small fish. Japanese people habitually eat small fish, such as whitebait, Atlantic capelin, Japanese smelt, and small dried sardines. Importantly, it is common practice to consume small fish whole, including the head, bones, and organs, which are rich in micronutrients, such as calcium and vitamin A. The research team investigated the association between the intake of small fish and mortality risk among Japanese people....

American geologist Frank Kimbler ,passionate about ufology, has been searching with a metal detector since 2010 the area around the town of Roswell in New Mexico, famous for the fact that a strange object fell from the sky there in 1947. Officially, the US authorities stated that it was a secret military weather balloon that monitored nuclear weapons tests. However, most ufologists and ordinary people believe that an alien ship with a crew crashed there. That the wreckage of the ship was taken away by the military and subsequently carefully studied, and among the crew there were one or two...

Florida governor Ron DeSantis slashed more than $32m in art and culture grants from next year’s state budget, effectively eliminating most of the state’s financial resources available for the arts. The legislature had already approved the funds in the form of two grants: $26m for one that supports cultural and museum programming, and $6m for another for building projects. The cuts are a small part of the nearly $1bn in line items that DeSantis vetoed before signing the budget last week, but art and cultural institutions across Florida say losing those grants will pose an immense challenge. “It’s a huge...

In Minnesota, 50% of students cannot read at grade level. If we were to apply the traditional academic grading scale to that outcome, the public education system in the state would get a solid F.. That abysmal performance was the topic of much debate during this term of the Minnesota legislature, prompting the Democrat trifecta to pass “the READ Act,” an effort to replace the failed “whole language” method of literacy training with traditional phonics education. “Whole language” is an absolute joke, recognized even by many on the Left as a toxic methodology that fails students. In essence, “whole language”...
