Since President Donald J. Trump took office 100 days ago, it has been a nonstop deluge of hoaxes and lies from Democrats and their allies in the Fake News suffering from terminal cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome.In no particular order, here are some of the most egregious hoaxes peddled by the usual suspects so far in President Trump’s second term:HOAX: Fake News CNN attempted to “fact check” President Trump’s claim that the Biden Administration spent millions on “making mice transgender.”FACT: After their so-called “fact check” was thoroughly debunked, they were forced to update it in disgrace and admit the claim...

Rep. Shri Thanedar, who no one had heard of until now, filed seven articles of impeachment against President Trump. He claimed that the President had violated the Supreme Court’s order to return the Maryland dad, Abrego Garcia. We previously reported that Yale scholar Jed Rubenfeld explained that President Trump didn’t violate the Supreme Court order. Shri’s background seems too bizarre to be true. Laura Loomer is researching him and believes he filed the articles of impeachment to get himself out of his $800.000 campaign debt.

During the recent earthquake in Thailand, one woman found herself struggling to evacuate, not because of the disaster, but because her dog, blissfully unaware of the mayhem around it, was determined to sleep through it. An 18-second clip of the viral incident was posted to TikTok on Saturday (March 29), showing a woman desperately trying to wake her dog while pulling on its front paw. Despite the chaos, the samoyed, named Echo, refuses to budge, completely unbothered by its owner's desperate pleas. At one point, the woman even tried pulling both of Echo's paws but didn't get anywhere. Shortly after,...

As the proud owner of three incredible (crazy) dogs, nothing sends me into a tailspin quite like the recent accusation that dogs are “environmental villains.” According to a report from Mother Jones earlier this week, citing the Guardian, our beloved pets are allegedly wreaking havoc on wildlife, polluting waterways, and even contributing to carbon emissions. This claim is so outlandish it’s almost comical. As an unabashed dog lover, I can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. Let’s get one thing straight: dogs are not causing the end of the world. In fact, they’re one of the few...

A seven-month-old girl from Columbus, Ohio, has lost her life following an attack by one of her family's three pet pit bulls. The child's mother, Mackenzie Copley, expressed her grief in a Facebook post, writing, “I will never understand why!!!” She also shared images of her daughter Elizah Turner, peacefully cuddling with the dogs. “I am so lost and broken. This was the same dog who was side by side with my baby every single day,” added the mother, according to a report in The New York Post. Elizah's father, Kameron Turner, also poured out his sorrow on social...

Woof. Mother Jones republished an article from fellow progressive outlet The Guardian on Saturday that argued that while dogs may be man's best friend, they're Mother Nature's "villains." The left-wing magazine highlighted new research, originally published by The Guardian, that concluded dogs have "extensive and multifarious" environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions. It pinpointed how canines are disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds.

A Colorado city plans to seize residents' pet cats and dogs in a bid to limit the number of animals allowed in households. On August 1, pet owners in Northglenn - about 40 minutes outside of Denver - will not be allowed to have more than four cats, dogs, or a combination of the two 'totaling no more than four.' The new pet ordinance was recently approved by the city council 'at the request of residents and after extensive research and discussion,' the city said. The restriction was introduced after concerned residents complained of 'excessive noise and waste caused by...

Bad news for environmentally conscious pet owners: cats’ and dogs’ eating habits are responsible for dumping as many as 64 million tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year — roughly the equivalent of driving over 13 million cars. That’s due to all the meat our furry friends gobble down, according to new research. There are more than 163 million dogs and cats in the US, and they just love to eat. In fact, cats and dogs in the US consume about 19 percent as many calories as people do in the US, or about as much as 62...

American Airlines has confirmed that a service dog incident caused a flight from Provo, Utah, to Dallas, Texas, to re-route and make an emergency landing in Colorado Springs. The flight was rerouted around 3 p.m. yesterday. The Colorado Springs Fire Department confirms that they transported a patient from the airport to a local hospital because of a dog bite, but couldn't tell KRDO13 how serious the injury was, or where the patient is now located. KRDO13 is pressing local law enforcement and federal law enforcement to see if a criminal investigation is underway. Colorado Springs Police and the F.B.I. both...

First it was the cow farts. Now it’s dog “sh*t.” Moral of the story: eco crazies will never be satisfied until people start seeing climate change threats in their soup. Leftist newspaper The Guardian published an April 9 story that reeked of being desperate for attention, even if that meant making its writers look like cats that have been overdosing on catnip. “Pet dogs have ‘extensive and multifarious’ impact on environment, new research finds,” read the headline coughed up like a hairball from science writer Donna Lu. The syntax read like a Babylon Bee special, “An Australian review of existing...

A terrorized Bronx woman has armed herself with a pair of pit bulls in a desperate effort to defend herself from an unhinged career criminal who keeps breaking into her home — but remains on the streets. Beauty salon owner Itesha Hairston said she’s petrified that 33-year-old Jarrell Coburn is stalking her after the vagrant broke into her home three times in under 10 days last month, but keeps getting a slap on the wrist due to a soft-on-crime court system that won’t lock him up. In fact, Coburn, who has at least nine unsealed busts on his rap sheet,...

This was the same dog who was side by side with my baby every single day,” she wrote. The father, Kameron Turner, also took to social media to express his grief. “Life is so not fair,” Turner wrote. “How can I continue living without her.” The baby, Elizah Turner, was described as...

The world’s most expensive — and unique — dog has sold for a fetching $5.7 million. Being the first of its kind, this is pooch is a cross between an actual wolf and a Caucasian Shepherd — which can sound like a sci-fi movie plot. An Indian dog enthusiast barked up the big bucks for the “wolfdog” named Cadabomb Okami, touted as the rarest dog in the world. This extravagant pup was born in the US and is only eight months old — but already weighs over 165 lbs and is 30 inches tall. Being part Shepherd, at heart Okami...

Certain vaccinations are important for pets to protect them from several fatal diseases. However, while this process is important, pet owners should be careful to make sure they are not over-vaccinating their animal companions because this can lead to health issues. Over-vaccination in pets is when a pet is inoculated with the same vaccines multiple times. When this happens, it can result in adverse effects on your pet's health. This can be dangerous to some animals because they are vaccinated too frequently for their bodies to handle. Studies show that over-vaccination can cause hypersensitivity reactions and autoimmune diseases. Over-vaccination is...

You may have heard that “in Springfield, they’re eating the dogs,” but did you know that in the Muslim world, they’re exterminating them — by the millions? In early January, it was reported that a whopping three million dogs were going to be killed in Morocco:

For decades, scientists have studied animals living in or near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant to see how increased levels of radiation affect their health, growth, and evolution. A study analyzed the DNA of 302 feral dogs living near the power plant, compared the animals to others living 10 miles away, and found remarkable differences. On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor in northern Ukraine—then part of the Soviet Union—exploded, sending a massive plume of radiation into the sky. Nearly four decades later, the Chernobyl Power Plant and many parts of the surrounding area remain uninhabited—by humans, at least....

More than 35 years after the world’s worst nuclear accident, the dogs of Chernobyl roam among decaying, abandoned buildings in and around the closed plant – somehow still able to find food, breed and survive. Scientists hope that studying these dogs can teach humans new tricks about how to live in the harshest, most degraded environments, too. They published the first of what they hope will be many genetics studies on Friday in the journal Science Advances, focusing on 302 free-roaming dogs living in an officially designated “exclusion zone” around the disaster site. They identified populations whose differing levels of...
