The U.S. no longer represents the values of freedom therefore it should send the Statue of Liberty back to France, a Socialist French Euro-deputy demanded Sunday. Raphael Glucksmann, of the Socialists and Democrats group, told a cheering convention of his Place Publique leftist movement how disappointed he is in the U.S. and why it should not keep what was originally a gift from France: Give us back the Statue of Liberty. We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: ‘Give us back the...

In an era where technology has revolutionized the way we learn and explore the natural world, the age-old practice of dissecting frogs in schools has sparked a heated debate. For decades, this hands-on approach has been a staple in biology classrooms, providing students with a firsthand understanding of anatomy and physiology. However, as ethical concerns and technological advancements emerge, the question arises: do schools still dissect frogs? If you’re short on time, here’s a quick answer to your question: While some schools have phased out frog dissection due to ethical and environmental concerns, many educational institutions still incorporate this practice...

Scientists working in the remote rainforests of Madagascar say they’ve discovered seven new frog species whose calls sound similar to Star Trek sound effects, which are often heard on the iconic TV franchise’s various series. Due to these auditory similarities, the researchers have named the newly discovered amphibians after seven of the franchise’s most iconic captains. “Not only do these frogs sound like sound effects from Star Trek, but it seems also fitting that to find them, you often have to do quite a bit of trekking!” quipped senior study author, Assistant Professor Mark D. Scherz from the Natural History...

Frog mating can be a competitive and sometimes deadly affair as many males compete for females – but females have some tricks to avoid unwanted attention Male frogs commonly coerce female frogs into mating, but some females have come up with ways to avoid harassment – including playing dead. Many frog species, including the European common frog (Rana temporaria), only have a short window of a few weeks each year to mate. This means that lots of males simultaneously compete for the attention of females, sometimes leading to deadly clashes as individuals are submerged under a competing group of males....

The Guardian reported that 92-year-old Colette Ferry, a resident of the tiny French village Frontenex, received a visit from local law enforcement after they received complaints from neighbors about noisy frogs in her yard. “A man came here and was really yelling at me, saying he could not sleep and he had to work … but I did not expect the [police]. Especially not for frogs! But there’s always someone ready to complain about someone else,” Ferry said. Ferry is excited to see what happens next, as the French police assured her that someone will return to apprehend the frogs...

The White House is reportedly “annoyed” with French President Emmanuel Macron’s attempts at trying to go around Washington and strike a peace deal in Ukraine with the aid of Communist China. Earlier this month, it was reported that on the heels of his visit with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, President Macron had tasked his top diplomats to begin work with CCP counterparts on a potential resolution to the war in Ukraine, which has wrought widespread devastation and death since the Russian invasion last February.

Generally, the citizens of Snohomish, Washington, recognize the arrival of springtime when the snow has finally melted and the gorgeous flowers start to bloom. However, Allison Lamb gets to know it is springtime in a rather unique way and it is through an adorable group of noisy neighbors. When spring is arriving all the frogs commence to croak as if to inform everyone that the season of growth is here. Allison is the owner of the Snohomish Lavender Farm. According to her, the frogs that visit her farm are very active and plentiful. “I have some flowers that line my...

Europe imports up to 200 million mostly wild frogs every year. The giant African bullfrog (pictured) may already be extinct in Swaziland. Photograph: Nature Picture Library/Alamy A voracious appetite for frogs’ legs among the French and Belgians is driving species in Indonesia, Turkey and Albania to the brink of extinction, according to a report. Europe imports as many as 200 million mostly wild frogs every year, contributing to a serious depletion of native species abroad. Scientists estimate that the Anatolian water frog could be extinct in Turkey by 2032, because of over-exploitation while other species such as the Albanian water...

Archaeologists working near the site of an iron age home near Cambridge were perplexed when they uncovered a vast trove of frog skeletons. Quite why more than 8,000 bones had been piled up and preserved is a prehistoric mystery.They were all recovered from a single 14-metre-long ditch, right next to the site of an iron age roundhouse at Bar Hill, where there was a settlement during the middle and late iron age (400BC-AD43)...It is unlikely that these amphibians had been eaten by the people living at the settlement. The archaeologists say that, while there is evidence of amphibian consumption in...

French President Emmanuel Macron said it is vital that Russia is not humiliated so that when the fighting stops in Ukraine a diplomatic solution can be found, adding that he believed Paris would play a mediating role to end the conflict. Macron has sought to maintain a dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February. His stance has been repeatedly criticised by some eastern and Baltic partners in Europe, as they see it as undermining efforts to pressure Putin to the negotiating table. "We must not humiliate Russia so that the day when the fighting...

Marjorie Taylor Greene of https://gettr.com/user/MTG4America joins The Alex Jones Show to break down how the Covid lockdowns and vaccines were the biggest experiment in human history. https://freeworldnews.tv/watch?id=61fad5ed418dd436e1af9346

Frogs, unlike their salamander cousins, cannot regenerate lost limbs, but a fascinating new experiment suggests it’s possible for frogs to partially regrow their missing body parts under the right conditions. A paper published today in Science Advances describes a new treatment that made it possible for African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) to partially grow back their amputated hind limbs. The treatment consisted of five different drugs and a wearable device, called “BioDome.” Exposure to this chemical cocktail for just 24 hours facilitated a regenerative period that last for 18 months, according to the research, led by researchers from Tufts University...

Several doctors from the Food and Drug administration’s (FDA) vaccine hearing on Friday claimed in explosive testimony that the COVID-19 vaccine is killing more people than it’s saving and is driving the coronavirus mutations like the so-called ‘Delta’ variant. FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee after 8 hours of testimony voted 16-2 against Joe Biden’s proposed COVID-19 booster shot program. During that hearing, Dr. Steve Kirsch, director of the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund, claimed that the injections are killing more people than they’re helping. “I’m going to focus my remarks today on the elephant in the room that...

Conservative talk show host Alex Jones slammed former President Trump after the 45th president encouraged people at an Alabama rally to get vaccinated against COVID-19. A clip from the Aug. 22 taping of InfoWars appears to show Jones accusing the former president of heralding the vaccine for political gain and bowing to media pressure. “Shame on you, Trump. Seriously. Hey, if you don’t have the good sense to save yourself and your political career, that’s OK,” the InfoWars host said. “At least you’re going to get some good Republicans elected, and we like you,” Jones added. “But, my God, maybe...
