FORT MYERS. Fla. – Jaimee Michell, founder and president of Gays Against Groomers, said transgenderism should be classified as a mental illness, arguing that cross-sex hormones only worsen the problem. This comes after a transgender gunman opened fire during a mass shooting early Wednesday morning, killing two children and injuring 17 others, according to several news outlets. Speaking on Florida’s Voice Radio with host Drew Steele, Michell warned that prescribing synthetic hormones to those suffering from gender dysphoria is “a recipe for disaster.” “Time and time again when we sound the alarm that cross sex hormones given to a mentally...

Gold And Rare Earth Metals Found Near The Capital One of the most significant discoveries is a...

This is a video by Jimmy Dore interviewing a woman, Juliette Engel, who describes her involvement in a number of CIA mind control programs. The mind blowing video was prompted by a December 2024 dump of CIA material, a CIA forced release through FOIA. I have previously heard nothing about this CIA dump of a number of well recognized mind control projects like MK-Ultra.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected proposals for a buffer zone between Ukrainian and Russian forces as part of a peace deal, arguing it does not reflect the realities of modern warfare. "Only those who do not understand the technological state of today's war propose a buffer zone," he told reporters on Friday. His comments followed a report suggesting European leaders were considering a 40km (25-mile) buffer zone as part of either a ceasefire or longer-term agreement. The war in Ukraine has evolved into a conflict driven by drone technology, and Zelensky suggested a buffer zone of sorts already existed...

A former Los Angeles film producer who held key roles in several independent projects, including the Oscar-nominated young Donald Trump movie The Apprentice, has been arrested in South Carolina after a grand jury indicted him on charges of defrauding victims out of more than $12 million in schemes that included a Ponzi scheme, phony COVID-19 testing and misappropriating production funds.David Raymond Brown, 39, has been charged with nine counts of wire fraud, 10 counts of transactional money laundering and two counts of aggravated identity theft in an indictment filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of...

Researchers from China have developed a new type of cement that does not absorb sunlight. The material developed by researchers from Southeast University in China scatters sunlight instead of absorbing it. The team highlighted that supercool cement featured intrinsic high strength, armored abrasive resistance, and optical stability, even when exposed to harsh conditions, such as corrosive liquids, ultraviolet radiation, and freeze-thaw cycles. Cement achieved temperature dropA machine learning–guided life-cycle assessment indicated its potential to achieve a net-negative carbon emission profile, according to the research work. The team also pointed out that the photonic-architecture cement achieved a temperature drop of 9.72°F...

Gold prices surged to a one-month high above $3,400 an ounce Thursday, supported by persistent U.S. dollar weakness. Analysts at Bank of America expect the rally to continue, maintaining their forecast that the yellow metal will hit $4,000 an ounce by the first half of 2026. In a report published last week, the bank said falling interest rates and a weaker dollar will underpin the metal’s gains. “Potential rate cuts amid increasing inflation create fertile ground for dollar depreciation,” analysts wrote. “Rate cuts in an environment of continued elevated inflation would, in all likelihood, push the precious metal higher.” Spot...

If you want to know your chronological age, simply count the candles on your next birthday cake. Calculating your biological age, though, is a little more complicated. Chronological age is the number of years between your birth and now; it's purely time-based. Biological age, on the other hand, describes the progressive breakdown of an individual's physiological and molecular systems over time; it's a measure of how "aged" the body is. The calculation aims to answer the question of how well your systems, organs and cells are working compared to an average, healthy baseline. "Biological age is notoriously hard to define...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced today that he has directed Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to formally establish a joint, interagency task force to counter hostile unmanned aerial systems, commonly referred to as drones. "Our job here at the Pentagon — when you think about it — is to prepare for the threats of the future and build a force to match them, and defeat them, and outpace them," Hegseth said via a video message released to the public. "And there's no doubt that the threats we face today from hostile drones grow by the day," he added. Noting that...

President Trump on Thursday floated the idea of having the Republican Party hold a convention just ahead of the 2026 midterms, as Democrats say they’re considering a similar idea. The democratic party used to hold conventions during or right after midterm cycles decades ago but stopped doing so in the mid-1980s.

Yesterday, President Trump announced that he and his various campaign groups, including his Super PACs, have raised an unprecedented $1.5 billion dollars for the coming 2026 mid-term elections. This is all part of his campaign strategy to hold both the U.S. House and Senate. Of course, the former chamber, where the GOP currently has a 220 to 215 edge, is the one that is really in danger of flipping. Remember, this strategy includes: 1) push GOP redistricting; 2) minimize retirements; 3) spend big; 4) take primary challengers off the table; 5) raise gobs more money; 6) ramp up recruiting; and...

The driver of a white Lexus slammed into pedestrian barriers in front of two gay San Jose nightclubs on Thursday night, just a day before the city's Pride celebrations are set to begin.

As some Democrats mock President Donald Trump for signing an executive order cracking down on burning the American flag, a clip has resurfaced of then-New York Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton calling for a very similar prohibition against flag desecration. In a resurfaced clip from 2006, Clinton took to the Senate floor to advocate on behalf of a bill titled the "Flag Protection Act" that she said would make it a crime to desecrate the American flag. Addressing the Senate president, Clinton said, "I hope, Mr. President, that we can pass a law that criminalizes flag burning and desecration." Clinton said,...

The irony of eco-friendly electric vehicles is the mountainous load of electronic waste they produce. So far, most targeted efforts to recycle EV batteries have been expensive and chemically toxic—and they haven’t stuck. That could change soon, however, thanks to a promising breakthrough from MIT. In a Nature Chemistry paper published August 28, researchers describe a new type of self-assembling material that easily dissolves in organic solvents. It works reasonably well as the electrolyte in a solid-state battery cell—the design major EV producers are racing to implement. Notably, the process doesn’t require the harsh chemical and thermal conditions that make...

Former President Bill Clinton, 79, has reignited fears that his health is declining after he and Hillary Clinton were spotted leaving the Hamptons with a defibrillator in tow. The political power couple were seen carrying a portable unit which appeared to be a Propaq MD Air Medical Bag - a lightweight transport monitor and defibrillator - at the airport on Thursday. Bill Clinton has a history of heart health issues, having previously suffered a heart attack that required bypass surgery in 2004. The former president wore a blue jacket and tan hat as he exited a vehicle and was accompanied...

Dunleavy, like Murkowski, has managed to navigate Alaska’s ranked-choice voting system, a framework critics argue tilts in favor of Democrats. The system helped pave the way for Democrat Mary Peltola’s upset victory in the at-large House race, a seat Republicans had held for decades under the late Don Young. Murkowski, however, “has never faced a challenger like him,” one source emphasized, pointing to Dunleavy’s unusually broad base of support that extends beyond traditional conservative circles.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. – The Apostle Paul, Romans 1:28 If stupid is as stupid does, would it be safe to say that Godless is as Godless does. Those blue state wonders who say ‘thoughts and prayers’ are a waste of time have run roughshod over about three-quarters of every American in the country. They have disregarded the lives and the faith of children. That is an offense that Christ took time to specifically describe,...
