A video posted to TikTok helped a California woman reunite a couple with a GoPro camera that spent nearly four years underwater after being lost at a waterfall. Rio Villa said she and her boyfriend were visiting Three Sisters Falls on April 3 when they found a GoPro camera wedged between the water and some rocks under a waterfall. Villa posted a video to TikTok showing footage from the camera depicting a couple exploring San Diego. "Oh yeah, even GoPro commented, they were like 'hey San Diegans like help them find the owners,'" Villa told KFMB-TV. The couple from the...

Plenty of unapproved, dubious, or downright dangerous COVID-19 treatments have come and gone over the past year, but the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has come out with a refresher warning after a number of people have fallen sick using horse deworming drugs to treat COVID-19. The drug is ivermectin, a cheap and widely available medication used to treat parasite infestations. In humans, it’s used to treat head lice and scabies, as well as roundworms, and it’s also widely used on animals to treat parasitic worms. However, the products used to treat humans are different from the ones used...

AUSTIN, TX—In yet another return to normalcy, Texas has announced that effective immediately they will return to their normal mask policy: Anyone wearing a mask is automatically shot, on the assumption that that person is about to rob a stagecoach. “We done licked that virus good,” announced Texas Governor Greg “Tex” Abbott. “Now it’s time to get back to protecting our precious, precious stagecoaches. So, if you’re wearing a mask -- BAM! Ya dead! Yee-haw!” Despite Texas having a growing tech sector, the state is still primarily a stagecoach-based economy, with most people in the state making a living from...

Those who succumbed to the original fearmongering surrounding Covid-19 are starting to relax a bit. Whether it’s the various “vaccines,” thoughts of herd immunity, a realization that those under the age of 60 have very little to fear, or simply fatigue from a year of living in terror, we’re seeing people who were previously quite concerned starting to ease their tensions now. It’s not everyone; there are still plenty of Covid nannies and fearmongers out there. But many if not most feel better about their prospects in the “pandemic.”You might not notice it as face-mask-shaming is still commonplace. But instead...

Sorry for the late post. I heard that the show was cancelled, but it did happen after all…thus the late post. It was a 1-hour Easter show. Some highlights: -Discussion of 4-part Bill Gates video covering Bill Gates false reputation as a software genius.-The Gates family has had three generations of formal involvement in the eugenics movement. -Some history of the eugenics movement and their ideas on genetic population improvement and population control. -Gates plans for vaccine tracking/human tagging. -Soros involvement. -Concept of brain-implanted microchips. Elitists may think immortality achievable by downloading their brain memories to a chip and implanting...

Amid the disturbing rise in attacks on Asian Americans since March 2020 is a troubling category of these assaults: Black people are also attacking Asian Americans. White people are the main perpetrators of anti-Asian racism. But in February 2021, a Black person pushed an elderly Asian man to the ground in San Francisco; the man later died from his injuries. In another video, from New York City on March 29, 2021, a Black person pushes and beats an Asian American woman on the sidewalk in front of a doorway while onlookers observe the attack, then close their door on the...

Headline photograph in Puerto Rico today. A policeman stands by a dying traffic accident victim.

For many of us who have had ties to the scientific standards and procedures connected to recording fatalities there has been a serious sense of doubt about the numbers of Covid 19 deaths reported by the media, courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The numbers have appeared to be somewhere between marginally overstated and grossly exaggerated. Finally, these instincts have been supported by a peer-reviewed scientific paper. On October 12 of last year, a 25-page paper in Science, Public Health Policy and The Law was released that explained, in detail, the foundational reason for the publicly announced...

Former Yankee David Wells on Thursday blasted Major League Baseball’s decision to move the All-Star Game from Atlanta, in protest of Georgia’s new GOP-led election reform bill. The two-time World Series champion pitcher told Fox News Radio’s “The Brian Kilmeade Show” that the move by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred’s has caused him to stop watching games. “I’ve had a lot of dealings with Rob Manfred back in my playing days, and I never liked the guy,” Wells said during the interview.

Biden's $2.3-trillion infrastructure package is a Trojan horse for a federal takeover of local zoning. If it passes, expect lots of cheap apartments going up in suburbs zoned for single-family homes. Don't think it's not about turning red counties blue. President Trump tried to make a big deal about Joe Biden's plan to federally mandate cheap apartments with low-income residents into suburban single-family zones. The claim was that it would achieve "equality." The unstated plan was "more Democrat voters." Trump warned of it as a scheme to end the suburbs, and it turns out he was right. Biden's $3.2-trillion infrastructure...

If Major League Baseball team-owners don't act fast, the MLB will experience a hemorrhaging of fans that might damage the pro game for years. The way to repair the damage is to fire Commissioner Rob Manfred and return the All-Star Game to Atlanta this summer. An April 7 report from Fox News (via Becker News) says Manfred decided to pull the game from Atlanta after consulting with Stacey Abrams and a voting rights group associated with LeBron James and the always sketchy Al Sharpton. The timing of Manfred's decision caught owners off-guard, reports Fox. Manfred's decision should not only incense...

They're saying the quiet part out loud: if you are White and arrive in an ambulance, desperately needing admission to one of the country’s premier hospitals, you would be turned away at the emergency room door because of your race. Ruling class members are starting to state out loud the heretofore tacit punitive anti-White discrimination they seek in order to atone for ‘structural racism.' Two professors at Harvard Medical School, Drs. Bram Wispelwey and Michelle Morse, have published an open call for racial discrimination in the delivery of medical services in the name of remedying “structural racism.” The article, titled...

A USPS mailwoman has been savagely beaten by two women who were accused of trying to rob stimulus checks from her van in Flint, Michigan. Footage shows the two women pounding the postal worker over the back of the head as they wrestle with her in the street, just yards away from a USPS truck which has a badly dented hood. 'Bruh y'all hit the mailman, they trying to get that stimulus,' the man recording the assault is heard saying.

Megan Rapinoe expanded on her criticism of Draymond Green on Wednesday, saying that his recent comments on women's sports and equal pay were "frustrating" and "not acceptable at all."

A Yale University professor and renowned cancer researcher has pored over the COVID-19 literature and treated several dozen patients. He can remain silent no longer.Dr. Alessandro Santin, a practicing oncologist and scientist who runs a large laboratory at Yale, believes firmly that ivermectin could vastly cut suffering from COVID-19. Santin joins a growing group of doctors committed to using the safe, generic drug both as an early home treatment to prevent hospitalization and alongside inpatient treatments like steroids and oxygen.“The bottom line is that ivermectin works. I’ve seen that in my patients as well as treating my own family in...

At the end of my last column for SteynOnline, I asked: "What can patriots do to retake their beloved nation?" Space permits only a few quick thoughts today. I hope to add more in the future, but just for starters: We could do worse than getting to know our enemy. Not just know them, but really get inside their heads to understand where they're coming from, and why. This is what I see. The strange figures known as Wokists currently destroying America aren't just reprises of earlier enemies. They represent something rather new. The political cult of Wokism combines the...

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (WCCO) — The Muslim community is racing to vaccinate as many people as possible before Ramadan begins next week, which will draw people to worship in-person together. On Thursday, 200 people received their shots at Masjid Al Tawba in Eden Prairie. Hundreds more got vaccinated at other mosques and will continue to do so through Monday. Ramadan begins early Tuesday. “People tend to fill the masjid. The masjid tends to host a lot activities and a lot of things that are important for the community,” said Imam Ahmed Abou. “So there’s a little bit of a time...

pg 23-24:M·CAM and Knowledge Ecology International have independently confirmed that Moderna has violated U.S. law in failing to disclose the U.S. government’s funding interest in their patents and patent applications. While this negligence impacts all of Moderna’s over 130 granted U.S. patents, it is particularly problematic for U.S. Patent 10,702,600 (‘600) which is the patent relating to, “a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) comprising an open reading frame encoding a betacoronavirus (BetaCoV) S protein or S protein subunit formulated in a lipid nanoparticle.” The specific claims addressing the pivot to the SARS Coronavirus were patented on March 28, 2019 – 9...

You might want to take a peek at the site: Academy of Ideas ( https://academyofideas.com/ ). I spotted this when one of their late Feb YouTube videos popped up : Is a Mass Psychosis the Greatest Threat to Humanity?. According to Carl Jung, there is a resounding “yes” answer to that question. Mind, Cjung is oft-quoted by Jordan Peterson and seems to contribute a philosophical basis for some of his positions. It was surprising that YouTube would allow a video that clearly condemns the collectivist “philosophies” of the 20th century like those implemented by Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Nkorea, China,...
