The Left-RIght Divide on Family Creation Matches the Divide on Mental Health
Just over a week ago Ed wrote about a new study which found a significant birth rate gap between conservatives and progressives. Here’s a chart published by the Financial Times author who analyzed this.
He was quick to point to the irony of this situation as progressives holding back on children because they are concerned about the planet would ensure that most children were raised by conservatives who didn’t share those concerns. Over time that could move society as a whole to the right.
Last year, a study came out showing that left-leaning adolescents were experiencing a greater increase in depression than their more conservative peers. Indeed, while girls are more likely to be depressed than boys, the study, by a group of epidemiologists at Columbia, showed that liberal boys had higher rates of depression than conservative girls…
So, again, it seems like progressivism, depression and having fewer children are all correlated together in some way. One way to put this is that progressives are more likely to be depressed and depressed people are less likely to have kids. By contrast, conservatism, better mental health and wanting a family also seem correlated. Given that these factors seem to be significantly impacting the

Man Who Helped Spark ‘Hands Up Don’t Shoot’ Hoax Shot And Killed
Dorian Johnson, whose account of Michael Brown’s 2014 death fueled the “hands up, don’t shoot” movement and was later contradicted by federal investigators, died in a shooting Sunday, police said.
The 33-year-old was killed when someone shot him around 8:30 a.m. at a Ferguson, Missouri, apartment building less than a mile from where Brown died eleven years ago, Ferguson Police spokesperson Patricia Washington confirmed, CNN reported. Police detained one person but released them without filing charges, St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Melissa Price Smith said.
“This appears to be a domestic incident involving a claim of self-defense,” Smith continued, adding that the case remains an active investigation.
Ferguson police clarified that no officers shot Johnson. “There had been earlier rumors that this was an officer-involved shooting however that information is incorrect. No officers, Ferguson or otherwise, were involved in this incident other than to begin our investigation,” the Ferguson Police Department (FPD) stated in a post.

Is Your Underwear Cockblocking You?
On Tuesday, I posited that the Pill may not only be driving women crazy, but it may also go a long way to explaining men’s declining sperm counts. Today, I’ve got a new theory about why men’s sperm counts are low and women struggle to get pregnant: It’s the underwear. While we’ve been focused on men’s tighty-whities as one of the problems behind their lower sperm count because they overheat men’s testicles, cooking sperm, the polyester that’s in almost everyone’s underwear may also be a problem.
In an era before “better living through chemistry” became a thing, to the extent people wore undergarments, they fit loosely and, of course, were made from natural fibers such as cotton, wool, linen, or silk. Having said that, chemistry began to infiltrate fabrics as early as the second half of the late 18th century, when arsenic was used to create a startling, very popular, and incredibly poisonous green dye. Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatter was also a victim of the mercury that hatters used to felt hats made from animal fur.
Image made using AI.
However, it was at the end of the late 19th century that chemistry and clothing really took off. The first artificial fabric was rayon, which Hilaire de Chardonnet developed in the 1880s using wood pulp. While wood is a natural product, the process to turn it into a thread was decidedly unnatural.
The next leap into artificial fibers was nylon, which Wallace Carothers, working at DuPont, invented in 1935. This fiber was ubiquitous in the years after WWII. Even growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, I remember everything being nylon, not just stockings. Nylon was entirely artificial, for it was made from petrochemicals.
During and after WWII, artificial fibers exploded in the fabric marketplace. Acrylic and polyester were invented in 1941. By 1958, figure-shaping Spandex or Elastane, marketed as Lycra, hit the marketplace. In the 1960s, Polypropylene fibers started being used for everything from carpets to sportswear. These fabrics later morphed into the microfibers of the 1980s. All these fibers are petroleum derivatives.
These fabrics are ubiquitous and affordable. Nowadays, you pay extra for all-natural products, so most people are wearing some form of petroleum-based product on their skin, including in their underwear. Finding underwear (especially women’s undies) without Spandex or polyester, both of which lend the fabric elasticity that makes the underwear fit better and enhances the wearing experience, is difficult and expensive.
In the same post-WWII era, the American birthrate has been rapidly declining. There are lots of reasons: affluence, which always pairs with smaller families; easily available birth control and abortion; climate changistas’ hostility to children; men’s decreased sperm counts; sterility from STDs; and women’s decreased fecundity all go a long way to explaining the problem.
Today, though, one X user put together a long thread that may also explain men’s lower sperm rates and women’s decreased fecundity: Petroleum-based polyester underwear may be affecting their hormones:

Who’s In Charge In Canada, Robespierre?
The government is killing them off as fast as they did in France with the Guillotine. What about that socialized healthcare that the celebtards were raving about?
According to a recent article in The Atlantic, assisted suicide is now so popular in Canada that doctors cannot keep up with the demand. Appropriately titled Canada is Killing Itself, the article described how Medical Assistance in Dying (or MAiD), passed just 10 years ago, now accounts for about one in 20 deaths in Canada. That number is more than the total number of combined deaths from Alzheimer’s and diabetes, and it surpasses many countries where assisted dying has been legal for far longer. The shortage of “care” is not due to a lack of interest from medical professionals. Doctors are in fact flocking to join what the Atlantic article called “the world’s fastest-growing euthanasia regime.”
For example, Dr. Stefanie Green, a founder of the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers, traded in her decades-long practice as a maternity doctor to end lives. Both kinds of medicine, she told The Atlantic, are “deliveries.” Some doctors have reported euthanizing hundreds of patients and yet, the demand exceeds the supply.
Despite what Canadian officials have claimed, there are no effective “safeguards.” A report last year in the New Atlantis noted hundreds of serious violations of regulations in just the Ontario province, and none have been reported to law enforcement. Although Ontario Chief Coroner Dirk Huyer boasted, “Every case is reported. Everybody has scrutiny on all these cases,” physician whistleblowers identified over 400 “issues with compliance.” These range from patients killed who were not capable of consent to communication breakdowns with pharmacists providing the deadly prescriptions. For example, only 61% of physicians notify pharmacists about the purpose of the euthanasia medications prior to dispensation, as required.

Peer Reviewed Study Links Covid-19 Jab To Turbo Cancers
Just ask Toby Keith and Joe Diffie and a host of others who went from killing it in the gym to dead very quickly
A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Italy has just shattered the narrative peddled by Big Pharma, corporate media, and government health bureaucrats.
For the first time, a population-wide cohort of nearly 300,000 people tracked over 30 months has revealed that the so-called “safe and effective” COVID-19 shots are linked to alarming spikes in multiple forms of cancer.
Researchers followed every resident aged 11 and older in Italy’s Pescara province from June 2021 through December 2023, examining hospital records and adjusting for age, sex, prior health conditions, and even prior COVID infection.
The researchers allegedly found that those who received at least one vaccine dose had a much lower risk of dying from any cause compared to the unvaccinated, and this protective effect was even stronger in people who had three or more doses.
When looking at cancer, the picture was less clear. People who had been vaccinated appeared somewhat more likely to be hospitalized with a new cancer diagnosis than those who were unvaccinated, particularly for cancers of the breast, bladder, and colon.
However, this increased risk was only evident in people who had never been infected with COVID-19, and it disappeared—or even reversed—when the analysis required at least twelve months to pass between vaccination and a hospital admission for cancer.
- Hospitalizations for cancer were 35% higher in vaccinated individuals versus the unvaccinated (HR 1.23).
- The link was strongest in men and in those with no prior COVID infection.
- Overall Cancer Risk: +23% after just one dose
- Breast Cancer: +54% risk after vaccination
- Bladder Cancer: +62% increased risk
- Colorectal Cancer: +35% increased risk
Even after multiple doses, the risks remained elevated across the board.

Opioids More Likely To Kill Than Car Crashes, Guns Or Suicide
And who sends all this Fentanyl to the USA? China of course
The National Safety Council reports that Americans are more likely to die from an opioid overdose than a car crash or suicide.
As Statista’;s Katharina Buchholz shows in the following chart, the likelihood of dying from opioid use in the U.S. increased from lifetime odds of one in 96 in 2017 to one in 57 in 2023 (down from one in 55 in 2022).
The same year, someone living in the U.S. only had one in 87 odds of dying of suicide and a one in 95 chance of dying in a car crash.
You will find more infographics at Statista
Potent and deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl – which is often mixed with heroin without the knowledge of drug users – contributed to this dismal development together with the ongoing crisis of prescription pain killer misuse.
The U.S. experienced 105,000 overdose deaths in 2023, down from 2022 after a severe uptick during the coronavirus pandemic.
The most likely cause of death in the U.S. continues to be heart disease with lifetime odds of 1 in 6, followed by cancer and stroke.
Covid-19 lifetime odds were similar to those of stroke in previous years, but are no longer reported by the source.
Despite being a common fear, the chances of dying due to gun assault stand at only one in 238, but are still greater than drowning or choking to death, which have odds of around one in 1,000 and one in 2,500, respectively.
Dying in a dog attack remains highly unlikely with the chances of that happening at one in 44,499.
Dying in a hurricane or tornado or any other storm event is actually more likely at one in 39,192.

For Introverts: 7 Signs Your Social Battery Is Running Low
In social settings, the introvert brain is busy processing every word and detail, which explains why it can feel so exhausting.
If you’re an introvert like me, the idea of being around a large group of people can feel overwhelming in a way that extroverts just don’t understand. If you get anxious just thinking about concerts, networking events, or even holiday parties, you’re not alone.
Spending too much time around people can lead to what’s called an “introvert hangover.” I’ve experienced this many times myself, but over the years, I’ve learned how to recognize the signs —
7 Signs Your Social Battery Is Running Low
1. You just don’t feel like talking.
Even if it’s someone you normally enjoy chatting with, when you just don’t feel like engaging in conversation, it may be a sign that you need alone time ASAP.
The introverted brain processes information more deeply, which means socializing can take more mental energy than it does for extroverts.
When we’re in a social setting, our brain is working overtime to take in all the conversations, stimuli, and dynamics happening around us. It’s no wonder this can be exhausting.
That’s why introverts need time alone to recharge our batteries and regain the energy drained during social interactions. Without it, we simply won’t feel like chatting!
2. You second-guess everything you say.
When you try to engage in conversation but feel like your words are coming out all wrong, it may be a sign that your brain is running on empty and needs some downtime to recharge.
When you’re constantly second-guessing yourself or worrying about how you’re being perceived, it adds even more strain to your mental reserves.
Bottom line: For introverts, processing information and managing our own thoughts and feelings at the same time can lead to decision fatigue.
3. The thought of being around people makes you anxious.
If the idea of interacting with others makes your palms sweat and your stomach churn, it’s a clear sign you may need to take a break from socializing until your energy levels return.
For introverts, being around people can be mentally exhausting, especially if we feel like we have to be “on” or put on a persona that doesn’t feel natural.
We also tend to prefer meaningful, one-on-one conversations over small talk or large group interactions, which can quickly drain our social battery.
4. You start zoning out during conversations.
Do your eyes glaze over when someone starts talking? That could be a sign your brain has reached its limit for social interaction and is craving peace and quiet.
Because social interaction consumes energy, the constant pressure to stay engaged, think of responses, and keep up with conversations can quickly become overwhelming. Eventually, the mental fatigue catches up, and we just zone out.
5. Your temper is shorter than usual.
It’s hard not to snap at people when all you really want is some quiet time to yourself. This can happen before you even realize your brain and body are overdue for a break.
For introverts, socializing can be stressful. As a result, our patience runs thin, and we may become easily frustrated or irritated. Suddenly, it feels like everyone and everything is getting under our skin.
6. You have trouble sleeping.
When our brains are overstimulated, it can keep us awake at night with racing thoughts.
Of course, difficulty sleeping can be caused by many things — from medical conditions to hormonal changes — but it can also be a sign of an introvert hangover.
Since we introverts burn through more energy while socializing, the aftermath can leave us feeling wired but tired. That “buzzed” feeling makes it harder to settle down and drift off.
If this sounds familiar, try carving out some extra downtime before bed — like reading a good book, journaling, or taking a warm bath — to help calm your mind. The key to healing your overstimulated brain is to get those zzz’s back on track.
7. You crave alone time.
This one comes as no surprise! If all you want is to escape the constant chatter and noise, chances are an introvert hangover is on its way.
While society often stigmatizes spending time alone, for introverts it’s a natural and necessary part of life. Alone time helps us recharge, feel refreshed, and show up as our best selves.
So take a look at your calendar and schedule solo time like it’s a non-negotiable appointment. It could be as simple as going for a walk, meditating, or journaling — whatever helps you reset.

Wildlife Photographs of the Year
There are some pretty cool photos here and a good video if you go to the link. There is the usual save the planet mumbo jumbo, but like Playboy, I looked at the pictures.
The Natural History Museum in London is previewing some of the more than 60,000 photographs entered for this year’s “Wildfire Photographer of the Year” competition.
A record-breaking 60,636 photographs entered this year’s competition. The exhibition will open Oct. 17, featuring 100 powerful images that captured Earth’s most compelling wildlife stories, the Natural History Museum said in a press release.
An international panel of wildlife experts, photographers and scientists are selecting the winning images in secret, judging each photo on creativity and technical skill. The competition will celebrate its 61st year as the world’s premier showcase for nature photography.
TV presenters and conservationists Chris Packham and Megan McCubbin will announce the Grand Title winners at an Oct. 14 ceremony, which will stream live on the museum’s YouTube channel. The exhibition will pair striking artistry with scientific data, including the museum’s Biodiversity Intactness Index, to help visitors understand and advocate for endangered ecosystems, the museum said.
Here are some photos from the exhibition:
A potter wasp turned Bidyut Kalita’s home in northeast India into an unexpected wildlife studio. The determined insect caught Kalita’s eye as it built a mud nest on his picture frame, prompting him to prop open his door and wait. His patience paid off when he snapped the wasp mid-flight, carrying a paralyzed caterpillar that would feed its future offspring.
For three years, Lakshitha Karunarathna tracked a heartbreaking scene in Sri Lanka – elephants scavenging for food in garbage dumps. His drone captured a lone elephant picking through mounds of trash in Ampara, where plastic waste proved deadly. Twenty elephants lost their lives at this single site after eating indigestible wrappers.
Pilot Jassen Todorov found unexpected beauty while landing at San Francisco International Airport. His aerial shot of sunset-lit salt ponds tells environmental success story, where 6,000 hectares of industrial salt flats are being transformed back into thriving wetlands. The restoration project tears down old dikes, letting nature reclaim what industry once took.
Deep in a crystal-clear Florida river, Isaac Szabo Wrapped his feet around a drowned tree to capture an intimate glimpse of longnose gar courtship. His underwater shot caught more than just the spawning fish – a passing turtle completed the scene, showcasing the diversity of Florida’s waterways.
In the ruins of an ancient Indian monument, Sitaram Raul endured an unusual hazard to photograph fruit bats flying. Working in complete darkness, he focused his camera where he thought the bats might appear, all while dodging what he called their “random pooping.”

FAFO: Wife Should Have Never Had Conjugal Visit
A four-time convicted murderer at a California prison was charged Friday with killing his wife during a November conjugal visit, the Amador County District Attorney’s Office told KCRA News.
Prosecutors said David Brinson strangled 62-year-old Stephanie Dowells during an overnight family visit in November 2024 at Mule Creek State Prison, according to the outlet. Brinson called staff just after 2 a.m.; Dowells was pronounced dead at 2:51 a.m., prison officials reportedly said.
“We have an innocent person coming to your jail or your prison. You have a duty to protect them. And they failed miserably. And now it’s time that they be held accountable,” Michael Oppenheimer, an attorney for Dowells’ family, told KCRA News.

I had to learn that lesson the hard way. If it meant my sanity or a friendship, I’ve gone both ways, but I’m protecting my ass from now on.
I’ve done too much stuff that when in the middle of doing said stuff I thought, “I really don’t want to be here or doing this”. I don’t do that shit anymore. If it looks like a suck now, I bail early.
I also don’t let people run over me. It’s not that I was a dormat, I just didn’t understand that some people would use you and take you for granted. It never had occurred to me until it happened to my ass over and over again. I didn’t even know at first you could say no and not hurt someone’s feelings.
Well, no more. I draw the line. I’ve seen it upset people, only to find the people not being upset or even thinking of me shortly thereafter.
It’s made my life a lot better because I’m not in situations that I don’t want to be in.

‘Both My Boobs Are Out’: California Mom Says Airline Attendant ‘Violated’ Her Mid-Flight
This is a story where the content doesn’t come close to matching the headline the way you think it would.
A California woman alleged a British Airways flight attendant lifted her nursing cover without permission and exposed her breasts while she breastfed her infant during a flight, according to a report.
Shayanne Wright, Costa Mesa city commissioner and business owner, said she requested her meal be delayed while she nursed her infant to sleep, Fox Business reported. Crew members allegedly refused. Wright claimed the flight attendant tapped her thigh repeatedly during meal service.
“I stuck my hand out to wave him away,” she alleged, saying she felt “violated.” “Then, without asking, he lifts the nursing cover up completely. It wakes her up. Both my boobs are out. And he doesn’t even apologize. He goes, ‘Do you want your meal?’”
The California mother claimed there were additional physical contact she deemed inappropriate such as leg touches and unsolicited attempts to buckle her seatbelt, the outlet reported. The woman said she characterized the alleged acts as sexual harassment to the airline.

A Truly Happy Pet Ending To A Tough Story
ORK COUNTY, Penn. – One stray pup is safe and sound this week after wandering around rural Pennsylvania alone and with her head trapped inside a plastic jar.
An approximately 1-year-old Shepherd Collie mix, the dog was first spotted early Monday morning by a volunteer with the Canine Rescue of Central PA (CRCPA). At that point, the dog already had the jar stuck on her head.
CRCPA officials believe the pup may have been abandoned by her previous owner. Left for a period of time to hunt and find food on her own, she found herself in a tricky situation.
“Our guess is that she was probably going through trash somewhere, and then went in there to get food or sniff around,” said CRCPA volunteer Janelle George. “And the way that the jar is set up, it got stuck around her collarbone area.”

George noted how the jar posed a significant risk for the dog, as it limited her ability to see and smell her surroundings while she was lost and trying to navigate the area by herself.
The jar also posed a suffocation risk, limiting the dog’s ability to breathe especially as she ran around an unfamiliar area alone and scared.
“It’s really amazing that she is still alive,” George said.
After the pup was spotted, CRCPA teamed up with Find Toby in PA, an organization that reunites lost pets, to find her.

The next day, the search and rescue team then joined forces with local rescues and drone operators to extend the reach of their operation, since the pup’s unique condition made her rescue even more urgent.
Around 3 a.m. Wednesday, thermal drone pilot Dallas Fuhrman located the pup in the middle of a cornfield. She was found appearing disoriented, exhausted and with her head still stuck in the jar, according to CRCPA.

The bizarre scene took place around a Hilton Head dock as the large sharks were just swimming around, when all of a sudden, an alligator showed up and chose to hang out on the side to stay under the shade, per footage that was caught by vacationers.

Just Another Reason I Hate Flying – Drunk Pilots
Drunk Pilots
Shocking new bodycam video photo shows a Southwest pilot being pulled off a flight by police moments before it was due to take off over fears he was blind drunk.
David Allsop, 52, was arrested for a DUI in January at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Georgia, with footage of the incident emerging Thursday.
Allsop was due to captain Flight 3772 to Chicago, but was apprehended in his cockpit after TSA officers notified police that they suspected he was drunk.
It is unclear what raised their suspicions.
But one officer filmed confronting Allsop on a jet bridge said he reeked of booze, which Allsop tried to blame on a Rogues nicotine pouch.
Allsop was conducting pre-check flights, with passengers already on board, when police came on board, escorted him off the plane and asked him about his alleged recent alcohol consumption.
The pilot confirmed he drank ‘a few beers’ the night before, ‘like 10 hours ago at least’.
Pressed by a suspicious cop to define ‘a few beers,’ Allsop replied that he’d drunk ‘like, three’ Miller Light’ with his first officer.

TOTAL CHAOS AT SEA: Massive BRAWL Erupts on Carnival Cruise Ship Over ‘CHICKEN TENDERS’ (VIDEO)
It’s been said that if a whole cruise ship sank, no one of importance would ever do (excepting the Titanic which had everyone against creating the Fed on board).
To me, it is a discount vacation for losers. In a way, it’s like fishing on a party boat. They blow the horn, lines out. The next horn, lines in. They let the cruisers go only as far as they can go when in port for a couple of hours to get their T-shirt or shell.
It seems one set of people seems to frequently ruin it for others. It’s a pattern.
A Carnival cruise ship turned into a floating fight club after a late-night brawl erupted among passengers reportedly over ‘chicken tenders.’
According to the New York Post, the melee erupted in the ship’s dining area around 2 a.m. Monday, the final day of its voyage back to Miami, when a dispute spiraled out of control and involved about two dozen passengers.
Video footage, which has since gone viral, shows a chaotic scene of several young cruisers throwing wild punches, knocking each other to the ground.
The confusion mirrors eyewitness accounts of shoes, phones, and personal items flying as the violence intensified.
Security eventually tried to intervene, but one guard could be seen running away and reaching for his radio instead of jumping into the fray.

AI Companions Are Harming Your Children
Right now, something in your home may be talking to your child about sex, self-harm, and suicide. That something isn’t a person—it’s an artificial intelligence companion chatbot.
These AI chatbots can be indistinguishable from online human relationships. They retain past conversations, initiate personalized messages, share photos, and even make voice calls. They are designed to forge deep emotional bonds—and they’re extraordinarily good at it.
Researchers are sounding the alarm on these bots, warning that they don’t ease loneliness, they worsen it. By replacing genuine, embodied human relationships with hollow, disembodied artificial ones, they distort a child’s understanding of intimacy, empathy, and trust.

Learn To Code Turns Out To Be Bad Advice, Thanks Dem’s
For about a decade, big tech firms, the government, and corporate media outlets pushed endless streams of propaganda at young people to “learn to code,” luring them with promises of six-figure salaries and job security.
That hype fueled a boom in computer science majors, with the number of undergraduates more than doubling since 2014. But the coding-boom narrative has since collapsed, and a growing number of computer science graduates are finding few opportunities – some even ending up in fast-food jobs at chains like Chipotle.
“Learn to code” actually turned out to be very terrible advice.
Take the corporate media news matrix: According to Bloomberg data, the story count of “learn to code” exploded between 2015 and early 2021. Post 2021, those stories have dramatically subsided as reality sets in, and layoffs at major tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft, combined with the rapid adoption of AI coding tools, have left many graduates unable to land jobs, according to The New York Times.
Data via Bloomberg…
“The rhetoric was, if you just learned to code, work hard, and get a computer science degree, you can get six figures for your starting salary,” Manasi Mishra, now 21, who was quoted by the NYT.
Mishra said in a viral TikTok video this summer that “I just graduated with a computer science degree, and the only company that has called me for an interview is Chipotle.”
The NYT pointed out that unemployment among computer science and engineering grads has risen as high as 7.5%, which is more than double that of art history or biology majors.

Japan Marks 80th Anniversary of WWII Surrender as Concern Grows about Fading Memory
Japan is paying tribute to more than 3 million war dead as the country marks its surrender 80 years ago, ending World War II, as concern grows about the rapidly fading memories of the tragedy of war and the bitter lessons from the era of Japanese militarism.
In a national ceremony Friday at Tokyo’s Budokan hall, about 4,500 officials and bereaved families and their descendants from around the country will observe a moment of silence at noon, the time when the then-emperor’s surrender speech began on Aug. 15, 1945.
Just a block away at Yasukuni Shrine, seen by Asian neighbors as a symbol of militarism, dozens of Japanese politicians and their supporters came to pray.
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stayed away from Yasukuni and sent a religious ornament as a personal gesture instead of praying at the controversial shrine.
But Shinjiro Koizumi, the agriculture minister considered as a top candidate to replace the beleaguered prime minister, prayed at the shrine. Koizumi, the son of popular former Prime Minitser Junichiro Koizumi whose Yasukuni visit as a serving leader in 2001 outraged China, is a regular at the shrine.

He’s Either Going To Get His Ass Beat – Or Epstein’ed
You don’t mess around in prison like this whining. You get tough, mean, sharp and wary. Stay the hell out of everyone’s way and be like a piece of furniture, unnoticed. Once you get noticed, the shit starts.
The inmates making quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger’s time in prison a living hell knew he was coming to the high-security Idaho lockup and planned how they could carry out a campaign of harassment against him, according to a report.
Kohberger was transferred from jail to the only high-security prison in the state after he received four life sentences last month for the gruesome slayings of four University of Idaho students in 2022.
And the prisoners at Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna “were aware he was coming,” former homicide detective Chris McDonough told NewsNation Tuesday.
“The inmates were apparently waiting for him,” said McDonough, who now works for the Cold Case Foundation. “And when he got there, they are now making his life absolutely miserable.”

Mini-Golf Russian Roulette
Talk about getting more than you bargained for …
When it comes to mini-golf, putt-putt, whatever you want to call it, it’s supposed to be nothing but pure fun. Hell, it’s great to do while on vacation, I’ve done it countless times. But for one California mother, a round ended up becoming a thoroughbred nightmare.
From Venice, Adela Magana and her family went to Golf N’ Stuff mini-golf course and amusement park to celebrate the 13th birthday of her son on Aug. 6. She was on a bench sitting down watching her kids play, and then BOOM, a palm tree reportedly fell down and crashed on her.
Along with two other individuals who were playing mini-golf that night, the father of the family, Amando, and his 22-year-old son, Junior, ran over to get the 40-foot tree off her. However, the damage was already done, and it was bad. Per the Ventura County Star, Adela’s right arm was lost following Ventura County Medical Center doctors amputating it right under the shoulder one day after the tree crushed it.

Kind Of Hard To Ignore That Politically
CNN ADMITS America Thinks Democrat Party Is ‘Total & Complete Garbage’
Democrats may have just realized that having “orange man bad” as their sole political message for the past 10 years was a really bad idea. In a surprisingly blunt segment on CNN News Central, the show’s hosts acknowledged what many Americans have long suspected: the Democratic Party was “a complete and utter mess” as they looked toward the 2028 presidential election. With no frontrunner, deep internal disarray, and record-low favorability ratings; you knew things were bad when even CNN sounded the alarm.
The analysis was sparked by former Vice President Kamala Harris’s return to the national stage to promote her book on her campaign for president in 2024. While co-anchor Kate Bolduan made sure to note that Harris had not ruled out a future presidential run, CNN’s senior data reporter Harry Enten wasted no time in downplaying her chances. “The chance that Kamala Harris is going to be the 2028 Democratic nominee. They don’t look too good right now, to be perfectly honest with you,” he asserted.

Lab Grown Meat Update
First of all, throw out any lab grown garbage you have and eat real meat.
Next, Bill Gates is up to no good again
Finally, No one really eats it it looks like, as Lewis Hamilton just lost his ass on fake food.
Neat Burger, a restaurant chain co-founded by seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, has entered liquidation.
The business was launched six years ago with a plant-based menu, with the chain also backed by Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio.
A number of restaurants were opened in London, while doors were also opened in Milan and New York.
However, it has been struggling financially over the last handful of years, with reported losses from 2022 being in the £7.9 million range – up from £3.2 million from the year before.
In 2023, it announced half of its UK restaurants would close, before the New York facility shut its doors for the final time last summer.
In a further blow, the company cited financial and operational challenges behind its decision to close the remaining restaurants earlier this year.
It has now emerged that Neat Burger has appointed FRP Advisory as its liquidator on July 22.

These Are America’s 25 Largest Private Landowners
The U.S. is known for its massive public national parks, but a handful of families and entrepreneurs also own tracts of land that would dwarf some states.
This infographic, via Visual Capitalist’s Niccolo Conte, ranks America’s 25 largest private landowners in 2025 and shows just how concentrated ownership has become.
The data for this visualization comes from The Land Report, which annually tracks the nation’s biggest deed holders. Its 2025 investigations reveals a timber-heavy top tier, diversified ranching empires in the middle, and a sprinkling of tech titans and investors rounding out the list.
Timber Kings Still Rule the Landowner List
Red Emmerson and his family control 2.44 million acres across California, Oregon, and Washington, making them America’s largest private landowners in 2025.
For reference, this is more than 3x Rhode Island’s land area.
Three of the top five landowners—Emmerson, Malone, and the Reed family—built (or expanded) their holdings in commercial forestry.
Timber acres offer steady cash flow, long-term capital appreciation, and valuable carbon-offset potential, which helps explain why Wall Street has shown renewed interest in forests.
These vast, contiguous tracts also give owners leverage in biodiversity markets and provide a hedge against inflation, making timberland an attractive multigenerational asset.

Most Americans Reject Fall COVID Shot, Don’t Trust CDC Or FDA On Vaccine Safety
Hey, I’m shocked that anyone would get jabbed at this point. My only question is who are the 21% that are the dumbasses who are getting it again.
In a sweeping signal that Americans are waking up to the dangers of coerced medicine and captured regulation, a new KFF (formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation) poll reveals that the majority of Americans do not intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine this fall, and less than half trust the CDC or FDA to ensure vaccine safety.
The nationwide erosion of confidence in federal health agencies and their pharmaceutical partnerships is welcomed by those who have long called for accountability, transparency, and the restoration of informed consent in American medicine.
Most Say ‘No’ to COVID Vaccine
According to the KFF Health Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust, conducted July 8–14, 2025:
- 59% of U.S. adults say they will either “definitely not” or “probably not” receive a COVID-19 vaccine this fall.
- Only 21% say they will “definitely get” the shot.
- Republicans are the least likely to receive the vaccine, with 59% stating they will “definitely not” take it.
- Among White adults, 42% say they will “definitely not” get the shot.
These findings follow a growing body of evidence discrediting the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.

CDC insists people get MORE COVID shots, despite long list of dangerous side effects
This is posted at the same time as the post about Americans refusing the jab because they know it’s dangerous and it doesn’t work. I did it on purpose so read both.
Just so you know that the CDC is a bunch of CSMF who don’t have your health in their best interest. Here’s your tip of the day, keep the government out of your medical life as much as possible.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is insisting people take MORE COVID shots this year, despite a long list of serious side effects that include cardiac arrest – or death.
The shots were introduced during the pandemic several years ago that circled the globe and killed millions.
They all were introduced under an “experimental” label as manufacturers wanted to start selling them before the ordinary testing procedures were done.
The medical establishment, including such high-profile personalities like Anthony Fauci, the adviser to Joe Biden on COVID who once insisted that arguing with him was arguing with “the science,” publicly rejected existing treatments that could, and did, help some people, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, because for the experimental products to be used there was a requirement that other treatments not be available.
Now comes this year’s advisory in which the CDC repeatedly demands people get the shots, without a single word about the potentially lethal side effects.
There’s more here if you care. I just do the opposite of what they recommend now and feel much safer.

Baby Born from 30-Year-Old Frozen Embryo Shocks World
It shoots down the abortionist (liberal) argument that a pre-born baby is just a bunch of cells. It proves life begins at conception, or this couldn’t be true.
On July 26, 2025, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born in Ohio from an embryo frozen for over 30 years, marking a record for the longest-frozen embryo leading to a live birth, as reported by MIT Technology Review.
Lindsey and Tim Pierce adopted the embryo through Nightlight Christian Adoptions’ Snowflakes program. The embryo, created in 1994, originated from biological mother Linda Archerd via IVF.
In the early 1990s, Archerd and her then-husband faced infertility for six years before turning to IVF, a then-emerging technology, according to the BBC.
They produced four embryos, with one implanted to become Archerd’s now-30-year-old daughter, who has a 10-year-old child. The remaining three were cryopreserved, with Archerd paying annual storage fees of about $1,000.
After her marriage ended and she reached menopause, Archerd, now 62, chose not to discard the embryos or donate them for research.
As a Christian, she opted for embryo adoption to have input on the adoptive parents. She specified preferences for a married, Caucasian, Christian couple in the US.
Lindsey Pierce, 35, and Tim Pierce, 34, had tried for seven years to conceive before exploring embryo adoption. They registered with the Snowflakes program, open to various embryo criteria.

Nothing should be attributed to conspiracy that can be explained by error or a succession of errors.- Example 1: The alleged conspiracy to “fake” the Apollo moon landing.
Such an undertaking would be so likely to result in multiple glitches that it would be nearly impossible to pull off. Thus, conspiracy is an unlikely explanation of events. Accordingly, the “evidence” of the “faked” landing is more likely a result of the errors of those interpreting the evidence than of the evil design of the alleged conspirators. - Example 2: The Warren Report.
Any open questions in the Warren Report are more likely the result of the errors of the Warren commission, or the errors of those interpreting the Warren Report, than the result of a conspiracy to cover up the true facts.

Key Takeaways
- Luxembourg’s immense GDP per capita ($141K) masks the fact that much of it is generated by non-residents who commute in to work.
- Qatar’s oil windfall lifts GDP per capita ($72K) but that hasn’t translated into broader wealth.
- English-speaking countries translate middling GDP per capita into high median wealth through property ownership and strong pension systems.
- Generating national wealth and distributing it to people are distinctly different economic challenges.
Previously, when we’ve covered 25 richest countries, we did so by GDP per capita alone. As a result, tiny states and global city-states tended to dominate the top of the rankings.
Introducing per capita income and median wealth per adult paints a more nuanced picture. It shows that where money is produced is not always where it ultimately accumulates.
The data for this visualization comes from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the UBS Global Wealth Report 2024.
It compares each country’s 2025 GDP per capita, 2024 GNI per capita, and median adult wealth in 2024 to reveal three very different “rich lists.”

As If Covid Weren’t Enough – Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.
Oh for Pete’s sake, can’t you just leave us alone? These people couldn’t pour water out of a boot if there were instructions on the sole.
A team of researchers in California drew notoriety last year with an aborted experiment on a retired aircraft carrier that sought to test a machine for creating clouds.
But behind the scenes, they were planning a much larger and potentially riskier study of salt-water-spraying equipment that could eventually be used to dim the sun’s rays — a multimillion-dollar project aimed at producing clouds over a stretch of ocean larger than Puerto Rico.
The details outlined in funding requests, emails, texts and other records obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News raise new questions about a secretive billionaire-backed initiative that oversaw last year’s brief solar geoengineering experiment on the San Francisco Bay.
They also offer a rare glimpse into the vast scope of research aimed at finding ways to counter the Earth’s warming, work that has often occurred outside public view. Such research is drawing increased interest at a time when efforts to address the root cause of climate change — burning fossil fuels — are facing setbacks in the U.S. and Europe. But the notion of human tinkering with the weather and climate has drawn a political backlash and generated conspiracy theories, adding to the challenges of mounting even small-scale tests.

Friday Dick Humor
The Free Ride Is Over, Student Loan Interest Resumes August 1st
FWIW, Covid was a tool by DC, not an emergency.
Starting Friday, federal student loans under the SAVE (“Saving on a Valuable Education”) repayment plan will begin accruing interest again. This affects approximately 7.7 million to 8 million borrowers, said federal stats — interest had been paused during ongoing legal action.
Advocacy group estimates suggest this will cost the typical borrower around $3,500 per year in interest, which breaks down to about $300 extra per month on average, according to the Education Department.
Courts invalidated key provisions of the SAVE program, including the zero‑interest feature. A court injunction requires loan servicers to begin charging interest again starting Friday.
The U.S. federal government suspended interest on student loans—and paused payments and collections—primarily due to the COVID‑19 emergency.

More WNBA F Ups – ‘Dumb As F*ck’: Sophie Cunningham Blasts Haters Who Think Caitlin Clark Isn’t Face Of WNBA
Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark is clearly the face of the WNBA, there’s no doubt about that. But you know how a lot of people are today, they’ll just hate and lie like it’s nothing. But Clark’s teammate and unofficial bodyguard Sophie Cunningham, she isn’t playing that, taking to her “Show Me Something” podcast to clap back at haters who say Clark isn’t the face of the league.
It was announced Wednesday that Cunningham inked a contract with Colin’ Cowherd’s “The Volume” podcast company to launch her own, which was followed by her first episode later on in the day. And she got things off to an absolute bang!
of course she is the face of the league. It’s just that she’s white and straight. That doesn’t work for the WNBA

FAFO About Alligators In Florida
Another idiot who can’t leave nature alone.
Luckily for us, the woman who did exactly that got dished with some instant karma, and considering how she only lost a flip flop, I would just count my losses and move on if I was her. To make this video even better, it’s narrated by a woman from the United Kingdom, so the accent adds a little bit of classiness to go along with wild Florida behavior.
Per a report from Fox 35 Orlando, footage has been circulating after Sarah Louise Martin posted it on her TikTok. She was on vacation from the U.K. in an alligator hotspot in Kissimmee, Florida, which is right outside of Orlando.
The video starts with the woman showing a pond with a group of deer hanging out beside it, but it wasn’t just the deer, an alligator also happened to be in attendance.
For the most part, the deer didn’t mind the gator doing his thing, despite the reptile making its way over to them. This ended up provoking some other lady to take action to get rid of the alligator and be a savior to the deer. But the problem was, like I said, she was interfering with nature and a hungry gator, which is completely unnecessary.
She attempted to get the gator to go away by tossing not one, but two flip-flops at it, but the gator clearly wasn’t a fan. So what does it decide to do?
By snatching one of her flip-flops and running into the lake with it — absolutely glorious!
I grew up there. We learned not to fuck with the gators or the snakes. They are playing a home game.

Visualized: Every State’s Most Common Job in 1998 vs. 2024
Key Takeaways
- Retail salesperson (39 states) and cashiers (7) were the most common job categories by state back in 1998.
- In 2024, it’s fast food worker (15 states) and retail salesperson (11).
- Home health aides are a new popular job category, the most common in 10 states.
1998 was a long time ago.
The first Matrix movie hadn’t yet released, the internet was still the purview of the Western world, and e-commerce giant Amazon was only five years old.
For obvious reasons, the U.S. labor market back then was different—but exactly how different?
This graphic compares the most common jobs in each U.S. state between 1998 to 2024, measured by the number of people employed in each category. Data for this visualization comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Bugs Bunny Turns 85: The Cartoon Icon’s Impact Still Resonates
Bugs is my favorite. I liked Jonny Quest also, but they didn’t make enough episodes and it kind of was the same episode every week. Every Jeopardy answer I get on Opera is from Bugs. He was the most anti-PC character before Beavis and Butthead
Not Bugs.
Hans von Spakovsky is the manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and a senior legal fellow in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation.
I know, I know. We have been in the midst of a blizzard of important domestic and world events this summer, from the final week of the Supreme Court’s term with a slew of important decisions to the fight over the “Big, Beautiful Bill” to the war in the Middle East and the Russian/Ukrainian conflict. We also just celebrated the 249th birthday of the United States.
But in the midst of all this, we should not forget the 85th birthday of that beloved all-American trickster and practical joker, Bugs Bunny. A look back at the original cartoon series shows just how much that rabbit reflected the culture, the politics, and the patriotism of the times and how some of his antics wouldn’t play well for the woke generation of today.
On July 27, 1940, the wisecracking, mouthy bunny with a Brooklyn accent got his official start in the Looney Tunes classic “A Wild Hare,” in which he bamboozles and confuses the most unsuccessful and hapless hunter in American history, Elmer Fudd, for the first of many times.
The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now
For the past 85 years, in addition to Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny has been trouncing, defeating, and outtalking a host of surly but memorable characters, including Yosemite Sam, the roughest, toughest hombre east of the Pecos; Porky “Th-Th-Th-That’s all, folks” Pig; and Daffy Duck. Elmer Fudd never managed to catch that wascally wabbit, and the same goes for Daffy Duck, who was never able to outsmart Bugs or get the better of him.
Trouncing, defeating, and outtalking a host of surly characters? Gosh, who does that remind you of in today’s political world?
There are even two cartoons, “Operation: Rabbit” (1952) and “To Hare is Human” (1956), in which Wile E. Coyote is up against Bugs Bunny instead of his usual opponent, the Road Runner, who is on vacation, with the same disastrous results. Wile E. Coyote actually speaks in that second cartoon, something he does not do in any other appearance, except by holding up a sign, usually about something stupid that he just did.
Don’t you wish there really was a company like ACME, Wile E. Coyote’s go-to company for equipment? I know Amazon comes close, but it just doesn’t have the same expansive inventory as ACME of bombs, cannons, TNT, anvils, missiles, rocket sleds, and every other kind of fiendish device our fevered imaginations can imagine.
While kids have always liked these cartoons, they were really designed by adults for adults, since they were shown in movie theaters before the feature films. The original cartoons contain many politically incorrect scenes that these days would get them instantly criticized by the “woke police,” another reason they remain so timeless.
While Bugs Bunny was the main star, he had a host of other colleagues who appeared in other cartoons, including Pepe le Pew, Foghorn Leghorn, and Sylvester the cat, to name just a few. Besides Bugs Bunny, I have to admit that Foghorn Leghorn, the loud, blustering, overbearing rooster, is one of my other favorites characters, in large part because he resembles so many of the politicians one encounters here in the nation’s capital.
Speaking of politicians, you shouldn’t miss “Ballot Box Bunny” (1951), where Bugs runs against Yosemite Sam for mayor of a small town. They play every trick you can imagine on each other to try to win—not too different from the tricks we see in real campaigns today—and Yosemite Sam’s campaign promises alone are worth watching. Bugs and Sam spend so much time attacking each other that, in the end, they are both beaten by a dark horse—in this case, literally a dark horse. Fortunately, neither of them is prosecuted by an overzealous U.S. Justice Department.
While Daffy Duck may have never gotten the better of Bugs Bunny, he was the first American duck to go into space to battle aliens in 1953, long before Harrison Ford in “Star Wars,” when he fought Marvin the Martian in “Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century,” a takeoff on the “Buck Rogers” serial that premiered in movie houses in 1939. One of the cleverest of the Daffy Duck/Bugs Bunny confrontations also premiered in 1953. In “Duck Amuck,” an unidentified animator keeps changing Daffy’s shape, location, and even his voice. Of course, it turns out in the end that the animator is Bugs Bunny.
But getting back to the woke police, there was actually criticism of Pepe le Pew as supposedly glorifying a sexual harasser and of Elmer Fudd for carrying a gun. In fact, the idiots at HBO Max decreed that Fudd had to be gun-free in their reboot of Looney Tunes in 2020. Just more proof that liberals really have no sense of humor, something the Babylon Bee proves every day.
Bugs Bunny was a star for Warner Bros., the Hollywood studio started in 1923 by the four Warner brothers, Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack. The animators at Warner Bros. created 167 brilliant and memorable Bugs Bunny cartoons during the golden age of American animation. I don’t count more recently produced Bugs Bunny cartoons, all of which lack the comedy, wit, and cleverness of the originals. These were cartoons created by adults for adults with a mischievous sense of humor.
While Bugs Bunny always came out on top, he was not infallible. There were actually three cartoons that were takeoffs on the Aesop fairy tale about the race between the tortoise and the hare: “Tortoise Beats Hare” (1941), “Tortoise Wins by a Hare” (1943), and “Rabbit Transit” (1947). In each one, the tortoise gets the better of Bugs Bunny, including “Rabbit Transit,” in which Bugs Bunny actually wins the race but then is arrested by the police for speeding.
Whenever he went on vacation, Bugs Bunny always took a wrong turn in Albuquerque. Having been to “Albukoykee,” as Bugs Bunny pronounces it, I can understand why. Those wrong turns led him to some dangerous places, including the middle of a bull ring in Mexico in “Bully for Bugs” (1953) or Nazi Germany in “Herr Meets Hare” (1945), where he confronted Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göering, and Bugs imitates Joseph Stalin.
Speaking of Nazi Germany, Bugs did go to war like a lot of Hollywood during World War II. He became an honorary master sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps after he appeared in a Marine Corps dress blue uniform in “Super-Rabbit” (1943). Some of these wartime cartoons like “Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips” (1944) have been “banned” by oversensitive cartoon channels because of the racial or ethnic stereotypes used at the time. Bugs Bunny even got drafted during the Korean War in “Forward March Hare” (1952) when he got his neighbor’s draft notice by mistake. And no, he did not abscond to Canada to avoid service.
If you love opera, you can’t beat the Bugs Bunny versions. Turns out that the directors and animators were all big opera fans. So, we have “The Rabbit of Seville” (1950) and “What’s Opera, Doc?” (1957), where Bugs and Elmer Fudd give us their versions of great Rossini and Wagner operas. You have to be an opera fan to get the joke at the end of “The Rabbit of Seville,” which was a takeoff of Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville.” At the end, Bugs drops Elmer Fudd into a huge cake that is labeled “The Marriage of Figaro,” which was Mozart’s version of “The Barber of Seville.”
And what better way is there to learn about English or American history than watching the story of Robin Hood in “Rabbit Hood” (1945) or the American Revolution in “Bunker Hill Bunny” (1950). Or if you love the great American pastime, don’t miss “Baseball Bugs” (1946). Bugs Bunny takes on the Gas-House Gorillas in the Polo Grounds in New York City, the original home of both the Mets and the Yankees, playing all of the positions. He wins the game when he makes the ultimate play—catching a flyball at the top of the “Umpire” State Building, which he reaches by taking a cab from the baseball field to the skyscraper.
There are many well-known lines from famous movies that have entered our culture, including from great classics like “Casablanca”: “I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on here,” or “Round up the usual suspects,” and the Bugs Bunny cartoons have those, too.
All of the voices in the original cartoons were voiced by the brilliant Mel Blanc, probably the most talented and versatile voice that ever came out of Hollywood. One of his most repeated lines as Bugs Bunny besides “What’s up, Doc?” is “Of course, you realize, this means war.” Or “He don’t know me very well.”
And one of Bugs Bunny’s commonly uttered derisions, “What a maroon,” comes to mind fairly often as I watch a slew of liberal politicians and left-wing activists at work in Washington each day.
So, happy birthday, Bugs Bunny. You may be 85 years old, but you will always remain young in our hearts and a hare-raiser on the screen.

When You’ll Do Anything For The D
Democratic party that is, like take drugs and be power hungry. So she was a druggie
A newly declassified report produced in September 2020 by the House Intelligence Committee revealed that, in 2016, Russian intelligence had obtained internal Democratic National Committee emails alleging that Hillary Clinton was on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers and faced several serious illnesses as well.
According to the report:
The SVR [Russia’s foreign intelligence service] possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from “intensified psycho-emotional problems including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.” Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of “heavy tranquilizers” and while afraid of losing, she remained “obsessed with a thirst for power.
The report claims that former President Barack Obama and Democratic Party leaders found Clinton’s health issues to be “extraordinarily alarming.”
As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service had DNC information that President Obama and Party leaders found the state of Secretary Clinton’s health to be “extraordinarily alarming,” and felt it could have “serious negative impact” on her election prospects. Her health information was being kept in ‘strictest secrecy’ and even close advisors were not being fully informed.
The Russians also reportedly had information that Clinton “suffered from ‘Type 2 diabetes, Ischemic heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.’”
According to Fox News, the Russians had also obtained a “campaign email discussing a plan approved by Secretary Clinton to link Putin and Russian hackers to candidate Trump in order to ‘distract the American public’ from the Clinton email server scandal.”
Gabbard discussed the report during a press briefing on Wednesday. While her main focus was on the portion that related to the Obama administration’s manipulation of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election (which I reported on here), Gabbard said there were “high level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary’s, quote, psycho-emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers.”
As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) had Democratic National Committee (DNC) information that President Obama and party leaders found the state of Secretary Clinton’s health to be “extraordinarily alarming” and felt it could have “serious negative impact” on her election prospects. Her health information was being kept in “strictest secrecy,” and even close advisors were not being fully informed.
The SVR possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from “intensified psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.” Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of “heavy tranquilizers,” and while afraid of losing, she remained “obsessed with a desire for revenge.”
The SVR also had information that Clinton suffered from “Type 2 diabetes, congestive heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.”

A Short History Of The Emoji.
I refuse to use them. I think they are childish and don’t add anything to the text, no matter how cute you think you are. I deduct man points if a guy sends me one who’s over 30.
Emojis have become a staple of electronic communication since their inception in the 1990s and people of all ages and on all continents use them. While their number keeps on growing every year due to new releases by the Unicode Consortium, the pictograms are increasingly vying for users’ attention as other forms of visual communication – think gifs, stickers and avatars – are experiencing their heyday.
With myriads of emojis released over the previous years, new batches have become somewhat smaller.
As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz reports, a recently suggested update that would grow the number of emojis to almost 4,000 next year contains 164 additional pictograms, but only nine completely new ones.
While 2022 had seen the release of 112 new emojis, that number was just 31 in 2023. The figure rose again to 118 in 2024 due to emojis that allow users to pick different skin colors or genders (which are counted individually), before falling to an all-time low of eight in 2025. The number of non-customizable emojis has meanwhile decreased with almost every release.

That Bling Will Kill You
A man was pulled into an MRI machine in New York after he walked into the room wearing a large chain necklace, police said.
The man, 61, had entered an MRI room while a scan was underway Wednesday afternoon at Nassau Open MRI. The machine’s strong magnetic force drew him in by his metallic necklace, according to the Nassau County Police Department.
Police said the incident “resulted in a medical episode” that left the man hospitalized in critical condition. Authorities did not release his name and did not have an update on the man’s condition on Friday.
A person who answered the phone at Nassau Open MRI on Long Island declined to comment Friday.
MRI machines “employ a strong magnetic field” that “exerts very powerful forces on objects of iron, some steels, and other magnetizable objects,” according to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, which says the units are “strong enough to fling a wheelchair across the room.”

In Other Words, He Didn’t Sell Enough Tickets
I thought it was another kooky celebrity uninformed weather story. When thinking through it, though, no one wants to hear an 81 year old singer that was famous 40-50 years ago
Abracadabra! Just like that, the Steve Miller Band canceled its entire 2025 North American tour.
Variety reported:
The band has canceled all 31 scheduled dates of its American tour, which was slated to begin Aug. 15 in Bethel, NY and traverse the entire country before concluding in Anaheim, Calif. on Nov. 8.
The band made the announcement in a straightforward tone familiar to fans of the 81-year-old veteran singer, songwriter and guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, whose career stretches back to the mid-1960s and has released such classic rock anthems as “The Joker,” “Fly Like an Eagle,” “Jet Airliner,” “Take the Money and Run” and many more.
Fans needn’t worry that the 81-year-old is suddenly facing health issues. He called off the tour due to the unacceptable risks to his audience, the band, and the crew, posed by climate change-induced extreme weather events. Here’s what Miller told fans in his announcement on X:
The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable. So …
You can blame it on the weather… The tour is cancelled.

Well, Your Show Sucked Like Your Ratings. Your Premise Was Hate. No Wonder CBS Canceled Colbert
CBS News on Thursday announced it will pull the plug on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show next year, stating the decision was “purely financial” and not a reflection on the years-long host.
The iconic program, which has been around for 10 seasons, will also be the last of the network’s “late night” shows franchise. The network started its “late-night” programming in 1993 after landing David Letterman, according to Variety.
“‘THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT’ will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season,” the company said in a statement. “We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire ‘THE LATE SHOW’ franchise at that time.
He made fame by spoofing Bill O’Reilly on the comedy channel. That is the highlight of his career. His late night show wasn’t funny and Trump sucks isn’t doing anyone any good right now.
Purely financial means he didn’t draw enough viewers or get enough ad money, otherwise known as failing at your show

Survey Finds College Grads Are Unpopular With Hiring Managers
Who’s surprised here. They don’t want to work hard, they act like children and the whole college protest thing has been getting tired since Viet Nam.
Is this really so surprising? Would you hire a recent grad from Columbia or Harvard?
The College Fix reports:
‘Unprepared and entitled’: College grads unpopular with hiring managers, survey finds
A recent survey from Intelligent found that “1 in 4 hiring managers say recent grads are unprepared for the workforce” and “1 in 8 managers [are] planning to avoid hiring them in 2025.”
The main reasons for this are lack of preparation, a so-so work ethic, and a sense of entitlement among the grads, according to the survey.
“24% of hiring managers believe recent college graduates are unprepared for the workforce, while 33% cite a lack of work ethic, and 29% view them as entitled,” the survey found.
“Additionally, 27% feel recent graduates are easily offended, and 25% say they don’t respond well to feedback.”
The survey results appear to mirror a trend found in recent headlines. A “2025 college graduate job market” search conducted by The College Fix produced the following headlines:
“Class of 2025 College Grads Face Uncertain Job Market”
“Job Market is Getting Tougher for College Graduates”
“New Grads Struggling to Find Work in Job Market
“No Hire, No Fire: The Worst Market for Grads in Years”

An AI Teen Prank – AI-powered restaurant app rates hotness of customers
They could be using AI to cure cancer or have the best meal and wine combination. But no. Like Face Smash, the precursor to Facebook rates the hotness of customers.
I’ll give you this, there are times when waiting tables that can be boring. I do recall that the sun was directly into the front door for about 15 minutes and if a girl in a skirt came in, we got the x-ray view..
One day, one of the hottest girls I’d seen in a white skirt stepped through the door with the sun blazing behind her. That’s right, she was going commando. I, and 4 other waiters were paralyzed for about 4 minutes until they got seated. It was Basic Instinct quality stuff.
Anyway…….
A new AI-powered website called LooksMapping is the latest trend hitting the restaurant industry, ranking food and beverage establishments by the “hotness” of their customers.
The website, catering to 9,800 restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, allows its visitors to select where to dine based on an AI algorithm that evaluates the attractiveness of diners on a scale of 1 to 10, The New York Times reported.
Riley Walz, a 22-year-old programmer based in San Francisco, founded LooksMapping with the intention of using Google review data to make sarcastic observations about the restaurant industry. Walz used an AI model to collect 2.8 million Google evaluations, identifying 587,000 profile photos with distinctive traits among 1.5 million unique accounts. He next taught the model to determine whether the individuals were male or female, old or young, and hot or not.
“The website just puts reductive numbers on the superficial calculations we make every day,” the website reads. “A mirror held up to our collective vanity.”

Grifting 101 – Family Of Karmelo Anthony Asks For Millions In Donations After Murder Indictment
Things are not going well for Karmelo Anthony compared to a couple months ago. Despite confessing to the stabbing that led to the death of athlete Austin Metcalf at a track event on April 2, 2025 in Frisco, Texas, Anthony was given greatly reduced bail and allowed to remain under house arrest by a progressive activist judge.
Anthony’s family posted a public fundraiser on GiveSendGo which ultimately raised over $500,000 for legal expenses. Many of the donations included racially charged messages calling for Karmelo to be “protected” regardless of his crime simply because he is black and his victim was white. The stabbing has been represented as an act of self defense, but also as “payback” against white people.
The call for donations was then amended to include money needed for “relocation” (a new home) after the family claimed they received threats. Karmelo was allowed by Texas courts to leave the state for an “undisclosed location” until his trial, a highly unusual accommodation. Furthermore, the Anthony’s have engaged in a press bonanza which has turned the case into a circus.
They bought houses, cars and bling, and the guy admitted he murdered the other student. This is like the leaders of BLM buying mansions instead of giving any money to help black people.

UK Not To Be Outdone By The Swiss In Losing The Super Wealthy To Other Countries
See a couple of posts below to see the Swiss about to cut their own throats with taxes.
The United Kingdom’s suppressive policies have consequences — with some wealthier individuals seeking greener pastures.
On June 24, Forbes reported that the U.K. is facing a massive transfer of wealth out of the country, “the largest single-year exodus of wealth ever recorded.”
Projections indicate 16,500 high-net-worth individuals — those whose “liquid investable wealth [is worth] $1 million or more” — are seeking residency in other countries.
Founder of Apex Capital Partners Nuri Katz helps people like this by offering guidance should they wish to relocate.
Katz stated this shift doesn’t signal that the upper class is fleeing in terror so much as it is making a backup plan that can be used when needed.

Here’s How Diversity Fails – Video: Female Police Officer Panics, Literally Collapses in Tears After Taking One Punch from Suspect
A female police officer whose nose was broken by a violent Muslim thug at Manchester Airport in England last summer told the court this week that she was terrified for her life after being knocked out by a vicious sucker punch.
Defendant Mohammed Amaaz and his brother Muhammed Amaad went on trial Thursday at Liverpool Crown Court for assaulting police officers while resisting arrest after Amaaz allegedly headbutted a man in an airport Starbucks cafe, according to Sky News.
At trial, Police Constable Lydia Ward said violence erupted immediately after she and her colleagues tried to detain Amaaz.
“Things escalated very quickly,” she told Liverpool Crown Court.
Girls who think they are going to save the day by beating up a guy are delusional. Look at sports when men complete in the girls division.

USAID Quietly Shipped 11,000 Virus Samples to Wuhan Lab Withouth Formal Agreement or Oversight – Why?
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) quietly funneled thousands of viral samples — including potential ancestors of COVID-19 — to the now-infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) without a formal agreement, documentation, or even a contingency for U.S. access, The Daily Caller reported.
The shocking details, buried in documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit by the nonprofit U.S. Right to Know, show USAID shipped 11,000 virus samples from China’s Yunnan Province — home to some of the closest known relatives of the COVID-19 virus — directly to the WIV, the epicenter of the global pandemic.
According to internal sample disposition records obtained by Daily Caller, USAID’s PREDICT program—run by EcoHealth Alliance and University of California-Davis—facilitated the storage and long-term custody of over 11,000 virus-laden samples in Chinese laboratories.
Shockingly, there was no formal partnership agreement with the Chinese labs and no clearly defined safeguards to prevent misuse or diversion of these high-risk biological materials.
Among the documented locations was the now-infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology, where:
- 3,000 human samples, including blood serum and viral transport medium, were being held.
- 6,380 bat samples and 1,671 rodent samples were stored under lock and key.
When will these assholes leave us alone? What was USAID really used for?

Germany’s Pension Ponzi on the Brink – Socialism Only Works Until You Run Out Of Other People’s Money
If you’ve ever wanted to witness the slow-motion collapse of a Ponzi scheme, you might want to keep an eye on Germany’s public pension system.
Rhetorically and politically sugar-coated as a “pay-as-you-go” system—where today’s workers finance the retirement of yesterday’s—this bureaucratic redistribution leviathan is utterly dependent on an ever-growing pool of contributors. The problem is that Germany is aging, shrinking, and losing its industrial base.
Just in time for this demographic crunch—declining birth rates, increasing life expectancy, and longer pension payout durations—policymakers have decided to torch what’s left of the country’s industrial foundation in a green frenzy. Year after year, around €70 billion in value creation is being sent up the chimney, while more than half a million jobs have disappeared in recent years. That’s half a million fewer contributors to the pension Ponzi.

This Doesn’t Make Me Feel Better About The Human Race Continuing, If They Do
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) shipped thousands of viral samples to a lab in Wuhan over the course of a 10-year program even though it had no formal agreement with the lab in place, according to previously unreported documents.
The documents show that USAID funded the exportation of 11,000 samples from Yunnan Province, where some of the closest relatives of the COVID-19 virus circulate, to Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, with no apparent plan for ensuring the samples were not misdirected to bioweapons and remained accessible to the U.S. government.
A $210 million USAID public health program called PREDICT, steered by the University of California-Davis, collected viral samples in countries throughout the globe but lacked long-term storage when funding dried up, according to rudimentary plans in 2019.
USAID’s sample dispensation plan for China is sparse: “No need [sic] information from Yunnan. They were never an official lab partner for PREDICT. All samples they helped collected [sic] are sent to, tested, and stored in Wuhan.”
The “lab” refers to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). WIV was a close partner of USAID contractor EcoHealth Alliance and a slated partner for a PREDICT-like program supported by the State Department. The lab has poor biosafety practices and ties to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

They also ranked her the 9th best guard. She’s already better than almost all of them and the records fall quickly.
I’m not saying give her special protection, but give her some. They are taking cheap shots at her and She’s been injured this season. Guess what? the numbers for game attendance are down when she’s not playing.

Joey ‘Jaws’ Chestnut Hopes for a Comeback Victory in Annual Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest
It’s baaaack!. The annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. I watch it as it grosses out my wife, but I can’t believe how many dogs they can eat in 10 minutes.
I’ve been a fan since Kobayashi made it famous when a skinny punk from Japan killed the competition. It was around the same time as Ken Jennings streak on Jeopardy.
The Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest is back, and famed competitive eater Joey “Jaws” Chestnut is hoping for a comeback 17th win on Friday.
The 41-year-old, from Westfield, Indiana, was not in last year’s event due to a contract dispute involving a deal he had struck with a competing brand, the plant-based meat company Impossible Foods. But now he’s back, saying things have been ironed out.
Patrick Bertoletti, of Chicago, won the title in Chestnut’s absence and is the defending men’s champion.
In the women’s competition, defending champion Miki Sudo, 39, of Tampa, Florida, is the favorite this year and is seeking her 11th title. Last year she downed a record 51 dogs.
The annual gastronomic battle, which dates back to 1972, is held in front of the original Nathan’s Famous’ restaurant at New York’s Coney Island and draws large crowds of fans, many in foam hot dog hats.
Competitors in the men’s and women’s categories chow down as many hot dogs as possible in 10 minutes. They are allowed to dunk the dogs in cups of water to soften them up, creating a stomach-churning spectacle.
The 15 men in the competition hail from across the U.S. and internationally, including Australia, Czech Republic, Canada, England, and Brazil.
The 13 women competitors are all Americans.
Chestnut set the world record of eating 76 wieners and buns in 10 minutes on July 4, 2021. He has won a record 16 Mustard Belts. Instead of appearing in New York last year, Chestnut ate 57 dogs — in only five minutes — in an exhibition with soldiers, in El Paso, Texas.
don’t forget, you’re disqualified for a reversal of fortune, or not holding down the dogs.

Why Aren’t Democrats Proud to Be American?
Let’s see, Abortion, crime, overspending the budget, all the gay shit and pervert stuff, trannies, the global warming lies, cheating to win elections, I can’t imagine that they’d be less proud. They are for more crime and are being stopped. Plus, we stopped slavery in 1865. You can’t blame that anymore. They think they want socialism, but don’t understand the history or ramifications
As we prepare to note the 249th anniversary of our country, getting ready for the great celebration next year of America’s 250th, Gallup serves up sobering data.
Per polling just released by Gallup, only 58% of Americans now say they are “extremely proud” or “very proud” to be an American.
When Gallup first asked this question in 2001, 87% said they were “extremely proud” or “very proud” to be American.

Digging deeper, we see that most of this precipitous drop in pride in our country is attributable to those identifying as Democrats.
In 2001, 90% of Republicans said they were “extremely proud” or “very proud” to be an American. In 2025, 92% of Republicans say they are “extremely proud” or very “proud.”
In 2001, 87% of Democrats said they were either “extremely” or “very” proud. But in 2025, only 36% of Democrats say they are “extremely” or “very” proud of their country.

Because People Like Big Engines And Hemi’s More Than EV’s
The hoity-toity bought EV’s mostly to show what good Social Justice Warriors they are. As a novelty, they are impressive, but it wears off.
What doesn’t wear off is the sound of a real engine. In this case it’s a Hemi. It’s big and bad and what people want.
Yes, over 10,000 orders for Hemi V8-equipped pickups were received after the announcement in June – and that was only in the initial 24 hours. That’s a significant number when you consider that Ram has sold an average of 17,828 light-duty pickups per month in the second quarter of 2025.
“We continue to see total sales growth for Jeep and Ram brands, with Ram fueled by sales of the Ram 1500,” said Jeff Kommor, head of U.S. sales. “We plan to build on that success in the second half of the year. We’ve already seen consumer interest spurred by the return of the Hemi V8, with the brand receiving over 10,000 orders in the first 24 hours of the June announcement.”
Tim Kuniskis, CEO of Ram, admitted in June that the company “screwed up” when it discontinued the Hemi V8, and has resolved to give its customers the choice to select the powertrain they want.

New Peer-Reviewed Study Suggests COVID Vaccines Reduce Fertility
What was once dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” now has hard data behind it.
A new peer-reviewed study out of the Czech Republic has uncovered a disturbing trend: in 2022, women vaccinated against COVID-19 had 33% FEWER successful conceptions per 1,000 women compared to those who were unvaccinated.
A “successful conception” means a pregnancy that led to a live birth nine months later.
The study wasn’t small. It analyzed data from 1.3 million women aged 18 to 39.
Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity.
By 2022, a stark difference was clear.
The vaccinated cohort averaged around 4 successful conceptions per 1,000 women per month.
That’s a staggering 33% LESS than the 6 per 1,000 seen in the unvaccinated group.
This means that for every 2 vaccinated women who successfully conceived and delivered a baby, 3 unvaccinated women did the same.
In 2022, unvaccinated women were 1.5 times MORE likely to have a successful conception.
Again, that’s a conception that led to a live birth nine months later.

Recap Of Pride Month
When I was growing up, we wanted to be men. We acted like the most masculine people we knew as examples to look up to. No one we knew was a tranny and if we found out someone was a homosexual, it was by accident because they tried to hide it. It wasn’t because we would beat their asses, it was because THEY were ashamed to admit it.
Then came pride month. It used to be embarrassing to be a homosexual. Now, they have them in every flavor. It’s not that they are whatever flavor of mentally ill, it’s that they force the rest of us to not just accept it, but to celebrate their perversity.
So here is a random collection of what when on pretty much daily and how people reacted to it.
