  • A Handy "News" Media Template In Case Harris Cheats Her Way Into Office

    I like to think of myself as helpful. In fact, if I was a Superhero in the Marvel Comic Universe, I would be Mister Helper Man.So, in an effort to assist the so-called "news" media, I've generated them a template they can copy and paste into their "news" articles, should Harris manage to steal her way into office. As we produce proof of a steal, you can simply write:These controversial claims of voter fraud are baseless rumors. They are unfounded, and unsubstantiated. This is sweeping and systemic disinformation. These sort of spurious accusations defy the reality on the ground. These...

    The most iconic image of the 2024 campaign came from the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Pennsylvania on July 13. An assassin had just fired multiple shots at President Trump, wounding him in the ear. Secret Service agents scrambled to shield the president, while counter-snipers neutralized the shooter. As members of his security detail began to briskly move him from the stage where he was speaking, President Trump asked them to stop so that he could reassure supporters he was alive and well. With blood streaked across his face and pooling near one side of his mouth, he stretched a...
  • Big Energy Policy Mistake: "All Of The Above"

    Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 2 Nov, 2024 | Francis Menton
    In a post on October 23, I noted that, during this election cycle, “energy realism” has suddenly become a positive electoral issue for Republicans. The positive electoral effect comes from pointing out that a forced energy transition increases consumer costs, limits choice, and destroys jobs. Examples cited included President Trump’s use in his campaign in Michigan of the Biden-Harris regulations restricting combustion vehicles, and his use in Pennsylvania of Harris statements that she would ban fracking. But there is another approach out there to the subject of energy realism, which has been taken up by many Republican candidates and energy...

    Now, I’m someone who has put meat in the freezer by my own hand. I have no delusions about where meat comes from and I’m not some crazed animal rights activist that thinks animal lives are the same as human lives. But that doesn’t matter because none of the outrage is really about the squirrel. No, it’s about justice. See, the issue with Peanut here is the uneven application of the law.
  • Harris campaign tells Muslim interviewer he can't ask about Gaza, she talks up bacon instead: 'Taken aback.'

    Fox News ^ | 11/04/24 | Yael Halon
    Kamala Harris' interview with a Muslim social media influencer never saw the light of day after the vice president refused to answer questions about Gaza but oddly gushed about bacon - a food religiously forbidden for Muslims. Kareem Rahma, host of the popular "Subway Takes" which boasts almost a million combined followers on Instagram and TikTok, made the decision to scrap the interview with Harris, which was filmed over the summer, he told the New York Times. Prior to the interview, Rahma was hoping to press Harris on policy, specifically the Biden administration's support for Israel amid the ongoing war...

  • Biden-Harris diet panel to elevate plant proteins over meat in snub to farm voters (only 6.23 years left)

    11/05/2024 12:43:29 AM PST · by Libloather · 11 replies
    Washington Examiner ^ | 10/30/24 | Gabrielle M. Etzel
    A dietary health committee from the Biden-Harris administration is poised to issue guidelines for people in the United States recommending that plant-based proteins supplant animal-based proteins, such as beef, chicken, and eggs. The recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, which are reevaluated every five years, are slated to arrive by the end of the year after the 2024 election. In the meantime, though, the plan to downgrade animal-based proteins could hurt Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances with swing state voters in farming communities. Although the panel’s final report is not expected until late December, the committee’s preliminary directive on...

    Archaeology Magazine ^ | November 4, 2024 | editors / unattributed
    Ahram Online reports that a tomb dated to the Middle Kingdom period has been discovered in the Asasif necropolis at Thebes, which is located on the western bank of the Nile River in Upper Egypt. The 4,000-year-old tomb contained the remains of 11 individuals, who are thought to have been family members who lived during the 12th and early 13th Dynasties. Damage to the wooden coffins and linen wrappings in the tomb is thought to have occurred during ancient floods. Jewelry and pottery, however, were found to be well preserved and still in place among the skeletal remains. The jewelry...

    Protesters swarmed a Hooters in upstate New York after a transgender woman sued the restaurant for "sex-based discrimination." According to NEWS 10 on Thursday, Brandy Livingston was a regular patron at a Hooters based in the small town of Colonie, New York before transitioning into a woman. However, issues later arose at the restaurant when Livingston transitioned into a woman. "They would use male pronouns. They would refer to me as he," Livingston told NEWS 10. Livingston also accused the Hooters' management and employees of harassment when she tried to use their restrooms. "I overheard one of the servers after...
  • Insulin resistance caused by sympathetic nervous system over-activation, a paradigm-shifting study finds

    Medical Xpress / Cell Metabolism ^ | Nov. 2, 2024 | Justin Jackson / Kenichi Sakamoto et al
    Rutgers and collaborating institutions have found that overnutrition leads to insulin resistance and metabolic disorders through increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The study shows that reducing SNS activity can prevent insulin resistance induced by a high-fat diet, suggesting a new understanding of how obesity causes insulin resistance. Obesity causes type 2 diabetes and metabolic diseases primarily by inducing insulin resistance. Impaired cellular insulin signaling is the most understood mechanism, but it does not always accompany impaired insulin action, indicating other factors must be involved. Overnutrition has been known to rapidly increase plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels, indicating overactivation...

    ATLANTA, GA — Local dad Brad O'Malley reportedly disappointed his young children this morning by informing them that the results of his inspection of their Halloween candy may be delayed for up to two weeks. According to the O'Malley children, whose candy was confiscated last night immediately after their return from trick-or-treating, their dad let them know that "technical difficulties" had resulted in unavoidable delays in completing the annual candy inspection process. "I'm really sorry, guys, but you'll just have to bear with me," O'Malley reportedly said. "We've got a lot of candy to go through here. With so...

    The Washington Stand ^ | November 2, 2024 | Sarah Holliday
    The Harris-Walz campaign has not been shy in its push for abortion. It has been a major emphasis for the ticket this election cycle, with both Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz openly supporting abortion with no limits. According to Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, the Left, including the Harris-Walz campaign, have continuously told “deceptive, incomplete, [and] sometimes flat-out false narratives to give lift to Kamala Harris’s talking point on what she calls ‘Trump’s abortion bans,’ which are the pro-life laws of states.” On Thursday’s episode of “Washington Watch,” Dr. Donna...
  • Mitigating the neurotoxic effects of lead exposure

    Medical Xpress / Thomas Jefferson University / Brain and Behavior ^ | Oct. 29, 2024 | Jill Adams / Jay S. Schneider et al
    Lead exposure is a risk to any human, but children are most vulnerable to the element's neurotoxicity, which can lead to developmental delays, learning difficulties and mood changes among other symptoms. There has been some progress in reducing exposure and preventing neurotoxicity, but hundreds of thousands of American children are still affected. A new study by neuroscientist Jay Schneider, Ph.D., suggests that the toxic effects of lead can be mitigated by attentive maternal care and an enriched environment in an animal model. Dr. Schneider had previously shown that rats living in an enriched environment—larger cages with toys and climbing structures—experienced...
  • Two topical treatments show similar improvement in age spots on hands (Vitamin C)

    11/04/2024 7:57:58 PM PST · by ConservativeMind · 7 replies
    Topically applied products containing human platelet extract or vitamin C provide similar improvements in age spots (photoaging) of the hands, as reported in a clinical trial. Brown spots on the hands, sometimes referred to as age spots or liver spots, are a common cosmetic issue caused by sun damage to the skin. Treatments for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing—such as chemical peels, injectables, and intense pulsed light or laser treatments—have primarily focused on the face. The study included 60 patients, average age 52.5 years, with moderate photoaging on the back (dorsum) of the hand. Each patient followed a standardized skincare routine,...

  • Who'll Pay for Harris' Plan to Expand Abortion to Rural America?

    OPINION If Kamala Harris wins the presidency this November, America will see its most radical pro-abortion rights administration yet. Abortion has been Harris' most passionately fought issue — from her days as a U.S. senator to vice president and now as a pillar of her campaign. But this agenda is bigger than Harris and her running mate; it's a nationwide push backed by the Biden-Harris administration, pro-abortion rights lawmakers, and powerful lobbying forces aiming to bring elective abortion up to birth into every corner of the country — even the most conservative, rural communities. The abortion industry’s mission? Reinstate Roe...
