The widely available drug fentanyl, already the number one killer of Americans under 50, could be weaponized and used for terroristic mass poisoning, according to health experts at Rutgers and other institutions. “Before fentanyl, the only viable mass poisons were rare and difficult-to-access agents such as cyanide or nerve agents,” said Lewis Nelson, chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and senior author of the new Frontiers in Public Health paper. “Fentanyl can be just as deadly if properly disseminated, and it’s ubiquitous. A motivated person could readily obtain enough to potentially poison hundreds...

In the San Francisco area last week, a district attorney downgraded the charges against five people who desecrated the statue of a saint on Catholic church grounds from felonies to misdemeanors. In Washington state, the Justice Department last month recommended no jail time for a transgender person who defaced church property and assaulted a church employee. In Washington, D.C., a man who destroyed the statues of three saints at a Catholic school appears to have pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor that allowed him to avoid serving his prison sentence. With high-profile attacks on Catholic churches and organizations on the rise...

On May 20, 2023, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that France's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin stated during his recent visit to the U.S.: "We have come to remind them that for Europeans, and for France, the primary risk is Sunni Islamist terrorism and that anti-terrorist collaboration between intelligence services is absolutely essential." This anodyne statement by Mr. Darmanin, whose maternal grandfather was an Algerian Muslim soldier in the French Army, has generated significant condemnation from various Islamist organizations, Islamists, and prominent figures, uniting criticism from Qatari-funded Islamists with those connected to the regime in Cairo. Their responses reflect deep concerns about...

Springer’s Archives of Sexual Behavior is retracting a major academic paper that explores the “socially contagious” aspect of youth transgenderism following threats from transgender activists, according to documents reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The paper, titled “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria: Parent Reports on 1655 Possible Cases,” found that children who suddenly adopted transgender identities in adolescence skewed heavily female and frequently had preexisting mental health issues. The journal has claimed the retraction is due to researchers’ failure to obtain written informed consent from survey participants, but Dr. Michael Bailey, one of the study’s authors, disputes this explanation and...

Two men have been arrested in connection with the fire at St. Bernard Catholic Church in the northern Alberta community of Grouard.GROUARD, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) – A historic 122-year-old Catholic church in western Canada has sustained unrepairable heavy damage after being set ablaze in what police say was an act of arson that has led to two men being arrested and charged in connection to the fire. On Monday, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) assisted firefighters in putting out a blaze that engulfed most of St. Bernard Catholic Church, located in the northern Alberta community of Grouard. The fire appears to...

After the defeat in Artemovsk (Bakhmut), where they are believed to have lost between 30k-60k troops, the Ukrainians staged this Sunday (May 22) an incursion into the Belgorod Oblast, pre-war Russian territory, in what can best be described as a publicity stunt or a ‘psy-op’.While the Discord Leaks have revealed that Zelensky has plans to take and hold Russian border towns to gain some leverage in future peace talks, that was not it.The incursion consisted of a DRG (Diversion and Reconnaissance Group) with 2 tanks, an infantry support vehicle and about 9 troop-carrying cars, with a number of troops that...

The Las Vegas Shooting was the deadliest mass shooting in American history leaving 60 people dead and over 800 people injured. Despite the fact the shooting occurred in 2017, authorities have yet to release any concrete motive for the gunman Stephen Paddock. The lack of details have left many Americans wondering why so many details about the shooting have been withheld from the general public. Author Ashley St. Clair expressed her concern about the lack of answers and tweeted “We know nothing about the Las Vegas shooter who carried out the deadliest mass shooting in US history.” After St. Clair...

A United States convoy was reportedly attacked in Nigeria this week, resulting in three people being kidnapped and four others being killed. CNN reported that the attack took place in the southeastern Anambra state and that local officials confirmed to the network that the assailants “murdered two police operatives and two staff of the US consulate and set their bodies and their vehicles ablaze.” The incident reportedly happened approximately 40 miles away from the state capital in the town of Atani, according to a report from the Associated Press. Officials have pinned the blame on separatists who want to start...

Here we go again; President Joe Biden claims white people are the biggest threat to the U.S. despite making several racist statements during his lifetime. While giving a commencement speech at Howard University, the Historical Black College and University (HBCU) that is the alma mater of Vice President Kamala Harris, Biden condemned “white supremacy,” saying that it is the most dangerous thing the U.S. faces, unlike his lax open border policies, which have caused the country to see skyrocketing overdoses from fentanyl or the high number of sex trafficking cases ravaging us. “Stand up against the poison of white supremacy,”...

What's it like living in Russian-occupied Kherson for Ukrainian citizens? Check out today's epic new story to see how some Ukrainian partisans are fighting for their city by any means possible!

Our nation is suffering death by a hundred thousand cuts in the form of drug poisoning deaths every year, which are continuing to rise. On average, that’s three hundred Americans dying every single day. In addition to the exploding body count, four million of our fellow citizens enter substance abuse treatment programs every year, two million visit hospital emergency rooms suffering from drug overdose symptoms and, lastly, illegal drugs now cost our society over three trillion dollars per year in lost productivity, as well as social, criminal, and health related costs of every kind.If one wished to purposefully introduce a...

When I was in the Boy Scouts, we used to send new scouts on a snipe hunt during their first campout. It was a search through the woods for a made-up creature that didn’t exist. The exercise was a good-natured joke to welcome them to the troop. (Note: Snipes are a real bird, but that doesn’t change the joke). Snipe hunting is also a gag the FBI plays on itself. Only the FBI calls the snipes “white supremacist domestic terrorists” -- which are apparently harder to find than Boy Scout snipes. The feds use the “white supremacist” qualifier to avoid...

Once the shooting begins, there is little place for rational conversation. Alas, recently in Nashville, TN, a 28-year-old disturbed woman, calling herself a male, walked into the Covenant School, which she had attended as a youth, and executed three adults and three nine-year-old children: Evelyn Dieckhaus, Mike Hill, William Kinney, Katherine Koonce, Cynthia Peak, and Hallie Scruggs. We note the names of those slaughtered and pray for their bereaved families. Recently, there has been a call to violence among progressives. Already, violent speech and the refusal of dialogue has taken over college campuses, where screaming and physical threats bring an...

This book by Unconstrained Analytics is a guide for all citizens that are concerned with the chaos and violence occurring on the streets of America, regardless of political outlook. Though much of the violence clearly has political intent and purpose, that is outside the scope of this study. The goal – to explain the violence, who is perpetrating it, and how to avoid becoming a victim, sounds simple enough. However, this is a very dynamic situation, the amount of information available is immense, and much of it is opinion disguised as the truth. To help with this task, the writers...

Rob Wood is right. Nobody in the mainstream media talks like Tucker Carlson … we wish they would. Now, this video is about six minutes long but it’s worth watching the entire thing, especially the part about what the transgender movement is actually doing to our country. How it doesn’t make sense and how we’re no longer talking about what will better the country for all of us. Sadly, that is a thing of the past. Watch: Nobody in main stream media talks like this…pic.twitter.com/y3o8xzNJEQ — Rob Wood (@coachrobwood) April 23, 2023 The trans movement is dangerous to this country....

The home of the Republican state senator has been vandalized over his bill banning sex changes for minors — which the governor has signed into law. The vandalism took place at the home of Sen. Mike Kennedy on the evening of April 21. The vandal left messages in red spray paint across Sen. Kennedy’s garage, including “Fash,” presumably meaning Fascist, and “these trannies bash back.”

This is sick! Trans Activist Threatens All Women This is truly sickening! This trans activist decided to threaten all women. If they tell him not to use female-only bathrooms as it'll be 'The last mistake they will ever make'. Then he incites more violence with a 'call to arms'. (Video is 17 minutes long)

Tyre Extinguishers, a British group whose preferred method of fighting climate change is to deflate the tires of large vehicles, says it let the air out of the tires of 43 vehicles on Beacon Hill last night. The group took this action to render the large greenhouse gas emitting vehicles unusable, directly preventing the outpouring of emission from the vehicles into our atmosphere which further contribute to climate change and air pollution. Only large, luxury, gas powered SUVs were targeted by the group; no tires were deflated on electric or hybrid vehicles nor any vehicles with handicap signage. The group...

Cholo Abdi Abdullah is expected in federal court in New York later Wednesday A Kenyan man spent years training in the Philippines to conduct a 9/11-style attack against the United States, going through flight school and researching methods to get into the country and hijack a plane, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. Cholo Abdi Abdullah was allegedly part of an al-Shabaab unit and taking orders directly from a commander in the African terror group -- one who was responsible for previously directing a deadly 2019 hotel attack in Nairobi, prosecutors said. "This chilling callback to the horrific attacks of September 11,...

@JustStop_Oil This time last year, #JustStopOil supporters blocked key oil terminals at 10 sites in the UK, stopping oil supply to London and the South East. In 7 days, we return to block roads in the capital until this government halts all new oil and gas projects.
