I don't know where you all were hiding during the Trump Administration. For four years, conservatives had front row seats on C-Span as Kamala Harris in hearing after Senate committee hearing excoriated every single one of President Trump's nominees for federal office. Harris was brutal, rude, and discourteous, to say the least, treating every Trump nominee as though they were criminals. But she was never once reprimanded by any of her peers for her atrocious "prosecutorial" behavior. Fast forward to all of the ridiculous prognostications by alternate media and conservative bloggers showing up on this site in 2024 as to...

Sept. 6 (UPI) -- A Mexican city hosted a successful attempt for a tasty Guinness World Record: the world's largest string cheese ball. The Oaxaca state government and the municipality of Reyes Etla teamed up to organize the record attempt. The cheese makers used a rotating table to create the massive string cheese ball, which is also known as Oaxaca cheese. The finished ball broke the record at 1,402.58 pounds. Organizers said it took 2,641 gallons of milk to create the cheese.

This is a long video about the discovery of and research into a newly discovered essential fatty acid, C15, aka pentadecanoic acid. Very quick synopsis (by me, so may have reflect misunderstanding, lack of attention, etc.): first noticed Navy dolphins having 1 type of health problem; studied hard; found low levels of C15. Research showed this causes weakening of cell linings (and a bunch of technical stuff about mitochondria and so on), end result: this weakening of cell walls causes premature aging due to death of cells. Notice: more and more and more children now have Type 2 diabetes, which...

Cheese is a wonderful thing. Recently linked to healthy aging, it dates back to at least the Ancient Egyptians, has been a symbol of socioeconomic status, and flavoring human lives for thousands of years, in which time we’ve come up with all sort of curious curdled creations, from rainbow colors to 3D sculptures. Where we’ve been arguably less explorative is in our species selection when it comes to cheese production, which is mostly limited to cows, goats, sheep, and buffalo. Could we not, at least theoretically, branch out among the milk-producing mammals? What we’re really trying to ask is… Can...

A massive study of 2.3 million people has found that, independent of socioeconomic factors, mental well-being may be the most important single aspect to healthy aging and living longer lives. But a surprise finding was that those who reported the best mental health and stress resilience, which boosted well-being, also seemed to eat more cheese. Yes, cheese – something we've been making around the world and eating for more than 4,000 years, as recorded on the walls of tombs in ancient Egypt. In fact, a few years ago the world's oldest cheese – aged a few centuries beyond palatability –...

NATO is creating a series of "land corridors" that would be used to rush U.S. troops across Europe to confront Russian forces in the event of a major conflict with Moscow, The Telegraph reported on June 4. Warnings that the Kremlin could attack a NATO country in the near future have increased in urgency in recent months. Eirik Kristoffersen, Norway's top general, said the military alliance only has two to three years to prepare, Bloomberg reported on June 3. "At one point someone said it'll take 10 years (before Russia reconstitutes its offensive capacity), but I think we're back to...

NATIONAL CHEESE DAY Moooove over whiners! June 4th is National Cheese Day! An encyclopedia of cheese will cover the alphabet and broaden your vocabulary. It will undoubtedly contain more varieties of cheese than what's found at the local grocer. #NationalCheeseDay Cheese is produced from the pressed curds of milk. The milk can come from cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. Temperature and aging affect the flavor and texture of the cheese, as well as spices and other seasonings added during the process. The opportunity to go to a cheese tasting or visit a cheesemonger who is knowledgeable about pairings will improve...

Although moose aren't more dangerous than bears in terms of behavior, they pose a greater threat of injuring you simply because of their size. Moose outnumber bears nearly three to one in Alaska, wounding around five to 10 people in the state annually. That's more than grizzly bear and black bear attacks combined [source: Smith]. A 2011 CBS news report said that more people are injured by moose than bears each year but rarely are people killed by moose attacks.

A Florida man was arrested for a crime that could be mistaken for a headline in the Onion or the Babylon Bee. As the Smoking Gun reported, 20-year-old Khanye Edrayieze Medley was arrested on Monday by Clearwater Police on a domestic battery charge.

“The existence of viruses as causative, contagious agents of disease has been debated since Louis Pasteur and Antoine Béchamp in the 1860’s. Fast forward to the present time and we find that no virus taken from a human has ever been isolated. In fact, no one has ever seen a virus of any kind. They are all imaginary. Today, all are created in silicone” asserts Kyle Young. Yet, the virus, no virus dichotomy has continued and those most concerned about the no virus view according to Kyle, “seems to be those who have awakened enough to understand the problems associated...

PALM BEACH. FL — In a surprise move, former President Donald Trump endorsed Bud Light as the "Official Beer Of MAGA" and announced trans icon Dylan Mulvany as his running mate in the 2024 election. "Dylan Mulvaney is the greatest woman, the most fantastic woman, anyone who doesn't think so is a total RINO," said Trump at the announcement. "When you think of making America great, you think of baseball, Donald Trump, drinking Bud Light, and Dylan Mulvaney. We're going to take America back, believe me." The controversial pick was met with immediate applause from the crowd at Trump's...

I've noticed a flurry of "TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER" articles and reports in the press lately.I'm a helpful fellow, so I thought I'd write an article for them. They may use it in their entirity.Trump is more of a threat to America than Isis, Jihadists, nuclear war, and deforestation. Trump is more of a threat to America than universal rape, concentration camps, plagues, and pestilance. Trump is more of a threat to America than space alien invasions, Noah-like floods, swarms of locusts, and bad hair-dye jobs. Trump is more of a threat to America than global warming, infanticide, glacial formation,...
