Food donors will be able to donate their excess or unsold food without having to worry about being held liable under strict food safety regulations, after a Bill that aims to reduce food waste and encourage donation was passed on Wednesday (Aug 7). The Good Samaritan Food Donation Bill, which was tabled by Member of Parliament (MP) Louis Ng (PAP-Nee Soon), will protect donors from criminal or civil liability for any death or personal injury resulting from consuming donated food, provided certain conditions to ensure food safety and hygiene are met. Prior to this, Singapore did not offer any liability...

Few people would suggest that Kamala Harris is an outstanding orator. Her acceptance speech last night got off to a guttering start, dwelling for too long on a rendition of her backstory before she got into her stride. After a bit of meandering, however, the section that roused the audience was the one that is perhaps distinguished by its divisiveness: foreign policy. Particularly the war in Gaza, the subject of rowdy and disturbing Left-wing protests outside the convention centre in downtown Chicago, which saw the immolation of an American flag. Before backing into that quagmire, she stoked the energy in...

Where did the Biden administration end and Twitter begin? The latest batch of the Twitter Files, reported by former Senate Finance Committee investigator Paul Thacker from records turned over by the Elon Musk-owned company now called X, shows a curious timeline in the first couple months of Democratic President Joe Biden's term. Within two weeks of the inauguration, the company covertly hired a "global strategic advisory and commercial diplomacy services" firm cofounded and chaired by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to seek State's help dealing with censorship pressure from India. On the two-month anniversary of the Biden administration, Politico...

YouTube has been on the warpath recently, curiously removing my FOUR-YEAR OLD videos where I promoted the late Vladimir (“Zev”) Zelenko’s groundbreaking work treating sick and dying patients with protocols that included hydroxychloroquine–a common drug used effectively worldwide for decades. And now they’ve removed “Killing Hydroxychloroquine,” which thankfully I’d saved to Odysee.com. HERE’S THE VIDEO YouTube sent me an email notice informing me of their decision. Notice that they chose to provide me with an example of how I supposedly violated their “medical misinformation” policy, at 9:48 in the video. I went to this spot, and it was Dr. Zelenko...

A U.S. border patrol agent in New York has been accused of ordering women to show him their breasts and claiming that it was part of his officials duties, authorities said. Border agent Shane Millan, 53, was arrested Thursday on charges that he deprived four women of their constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York said in a news release. According to prosecutors, Millan told three women to expose their bare chests to him over a web camera while he was processing their applications to enter the country....

From curbside abortions to gender-neutral prayer rooms, so much insane stuff unfolded at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. One of these abhorrent moments apparently snuck under the radar — until now. It turns out that a top Kamala Harris surrogate bashed the Bill of Rights as "that little piece of paper" and urged Democrats to "reimagine democracy" on Day 1 of the DNC. Kelley Robinson, president of the far-left Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and a prominent supporter of Kamala Harris, made the appalling comments during a daytime session addressing "how defeating Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda rests on...

Here is another MUST-SEE video by Ultra MAGA Party – and Finance Wolves. What did Victoria Nuland know? And when did she know it? Two days before the attempted assassination of President Trump, Nuland boasted, “I don’t think Trump is going to be President, so If that’s what Putin is betting on, he’s going to get an unhappy SURPRISE!” Finance Wolves: And there is this interview with Victoria Newland. In case you don’t know who she is, she was the former National Security Advisor to Vice President, Dick Cheney. Liz Cheney: And we have an obligation to make sure, and...

The Arizona Police Association announced Monday it is throwing its weight behind Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) in the Arizona Senate race, despite endorsing Republican Kari Lake in her gubernatorial bid last cycle. “As a Marine combat veteran, we know Congressman Gallego understands the complexities of modern policing in American society today, while at the same time recognizing the public’s expectations,” Arizona Police Association President Justin Harris said in a statement on the social platform X. “The APA does not take our endorsements lightly; we recognize the importance of having a U.S. senator that can bring people together to improve society...

Chandler public schools are asking parents to sign off on teaching their kids things like "integers" and "geometric figures."Is it OK if your child is taught the probability of a coin flip landing on heads?

Before it shares such controversial knowledge, the Chandler Unified School District wants to make sure. That’s according to forms sent to parents of Chandler public school students, which were shared on social media Wednesday by Save Our Schools Executive Director Beth Lewis. Parents are asked to sign...

Americans are having a hard time finding the “joy” and “hope” that Democrat elites touted during their August convention, as they struggle to pay their bills while the cost of goods skyrockets. This includes car insurance prices, which, under Vice President Kamala Harris’s watch, rose 54 percent. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show a dramatic rise in car insurance since President Joe Biden and Harris, the latter of whom Democrats have coronated to face off against former President Donald Trump, took office. From January 2021 to July 2024, car insurance rose a tremendous 54 percent. This is just...

The presidential campaign of Dr. Cornel West announced on Monday that it collected enough signatures to qualify for the Virginia state ballot. While the campaign did not specify the exact number collected, it said that it had surpassed the required threshold. In a press release, the campaign praised its volunteers for their efforts in collecting the signatures, with West’s vice presidential candidate, Dr. Melina Abdullah, calling it “a demonstration of the power of organized people.” Virginia requires independent presidential candidates to gather a minimum of 5,000 valid signatures to qualify for the general election ballot. The deadline to file the...

Gail Collins: Bret, I can’t wait to hear your impression of Kamala Harris’s big Chicago speech. Tell, tell.Bret Stephens: As rhetoric? I thought it was strong. She told Americans who she was, where she came from, what her values and dreams are made of, why she loves America, who and what she’ll fight for. There was hardly a wasted sentence. It was fairly light on policy, but she came across as a plausible commander in chief. The contrast with Donald Trump’s Fidel Castro-like performance at the Republican National Convention last month was stark.Do you think she’ll win?Gail: One more question...

Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday appealed federal Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling dismissing his classified records Mar-a-Lago case against former President Donald Trump, arguing that his appointment is valid. Cannon, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, last month dismissed Smith's case against Trump, ruling that it violated "the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution." Cannon said Smith’s appointment of special counsel was unconstitutional.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) slammed the Democratic National Convention for not featuring a Palestinian American speaker, stating it is “hard not to feel invisible.” “It’s hard not to feel invisible as a Palestinian American. Our trauma and pain feel unseen and ignored by both parties. One party uses our identity as a slur, and the other refuses to hear from us. Where is the shared humanity? Ignoring us won’t stop the genocide,” Tlaib said in an interview published Monday with Zeteo, the news organization founded by former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan. Tlaib was among a group of Democrats, specifically progressive...

She was talented. She was beautiful. But the Dancer of Auschwitz was also Jewish…a fact that was important and tragic when she found herself at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. An Ingenious and Jewish DancerBorn in 1917, dancer Franceska Mann lived in Warsaw, Poland. In 1939, before World War II broke out, Franceska took fourth place in the international dance competition held in Brussels. The people of Poland considered her one of the most beautiful and promising dancers – both in classical and modern styles – in their country. But her Jewish faith changed that. Franceska regularly performed at Warsaw’s Melody...
