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.

Uffelman’s Razor:
[Given Murphy’s law, …] One should not attribute to evil design any unfortunate result which can be attributed to error. A mistake (or series of mistakes) is the simpler and more likely explanation.
Conspiracy Corollary to Uffelman’s Razor:
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.
Probability law:
Probabilities serve only and exclusively to determine the degree of improbability of the catastrophes that actually take place.

Ranked: 25 Richest Countries in the World, by Three Metrics
This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.
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.

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.

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.

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!
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 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.

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.

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.
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.”

I’m on semi-vacation with some family. Go read my introvert posts on how well I do with that.
So I have some stuff ready, but mostly I’ll be watching my social battery drain. I went to one of the most average theme park yesterday. I mostly chased kids.
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.
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.”
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.
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.

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
‘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”
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.”
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.

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.”

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.
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.
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.

My wife’s relatives live in a socialist country north of Germany. They too are having to raise taxes to cover all the free shit they give everyone, including illegal invaders
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 documentsshow 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).

That’s right, The WNBA is the asshole of the week. They beat the shit out of Caitlin and they are going to ruin their biggest draw.
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.
The WNBA is a racist bunch of children that didn’t get their way because Clark is the great white hope, not the expected black.
They were nothing before Clark and they should do more to act like a professional sports league, not a babysitting service for uppity children.
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.
Still in the pretty old stuff so should be better than the last one. As you can see, I was still playing around for a title. I think that is in the next round of best of.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Nascar has no posts this year after going crazy posting about the sissy men in their sport. A black guy not named Bubba won and they said nothing. NASCAR is about the last place I’d want to find a bunch of guys rogering each other.
“Many Americans don’t care what people do in private,” notes political commentator Gary Bauer. “But they want it to stay private. They are sick and tired of being told we have to celebrate it. The number of days, weeks, and months dedicated to celebrating ‘pride,’ which is a sin, is absurd.”
On May 21, the House Education Committee held a hearing, Restoring Excellence: The Case Against DEI , or “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” a euphemism for neo-racism and therefore a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Thankfully, the hearing got this message across and the presiding chairman, Congressman Burgess Owens of South Carolina, should be commended for convening it.
And here you have the most important headline of this whole post,
Satan hailed at Pikes Peak Pride fest. At least we know who is behind Pride and the whole mental illness alphabet people movement. They know where they are headed also.
It’s the last day of the month and any interest in supporting it is dead and buried. People are tired of woke and I think everyone is still wary of being the next Bud Light. Plus, Trump said DEI and being Woke is for losers and we’re getting rid of it and people stood and applauded
Two legal groups are suing IBM over claims the technology company discriminated against an older white employee for the purpose of advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
America First Legal (AFL) and JW Howard Attorneys, LTD, filed a federal lawsuit against IBM on behalf of former employee John Loeffler, 64.
The lawsuit alleges that Loeffler was targeted to “advance IBM’s internal DEI quotas,” accusing the company of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The lawsuit claims that despite Loeffler’s history of positive performance reviews and successfully leading a $30 million project, IBM placed him on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) with conditions that were “impossible to meet.”
Loeffler objected to the plan and his recently assigned manager, Eric Castillo, conceded that the PIP’s goals were unattainable, according to the lawsuit. Loeffler’s lawyers contend the PIP was intentionally designed to force him out of his role in favor of younger, non-white staff.
“The PIP was pretextually designed to remove Loeffler from his position because he is an older white male,” the lawsuit states. “IBM discriminates in favor of younger workers generally (as the EEOC explicitly found), and, in the name of ‘diversity,’ specifically discriminates against white males”
The lawsuit alleges that, after terminating Loeffler due to his inability to meet the targets, the company replaced him with two younger, non-white employees.
I saw this shit happening when I worked there. It was either hire girls or gays. I used to have an ongoing conversation with Dnny, The Grouchy Old Cripple who saw the same shit and thought it was the the same crock that the rest of us did.
Israel has an equivalent of the United States National Security Agency that carries out cyber warfare and other types of clandestine operations, but with one notable difference: It’s staffed largely by teenagers.
The soldiers of Israel Defense Forces Unit 8200 – most living with their parents and working for peanuts as part of the country’s compulsory military service – located the Iranian uranium enrichment sites Israel has been trying to destroy for the past week.
They produced the anti-Ayatollah video with which they interrupted Iran‘s state-run news broadcast on Wednesday. And they pinpointed the Iranian leaders and nuclear scientists on Israel’s hit list.
A unit veteran, now in his early 30s and running an artificial intelligence start-up in Southern California, calls its 18 to 21-year-old active-duty soldiers ‘the most nerdy of nerds.’
‘These are the hackers, the chess players, the eggheads you knew in high school, but to the Nth degree,’ he says, insisting on anonymity for fear, he claims, that ‘anyone who’s done intelligence in Israel isn’t safe’ these days, even in the US.
Israeli archaeologists recently uncovered an ancient sarcophagus depicting a scene familiar to many today: a drinking game.
The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced the discovery in a Facebook post on June 9.
The Roman sarcophagus, or coffin, was found at an archaeological site within the ancient capital city of Caesarea. The discovery is the first of its kind in Israel.
The marble sarcophagus illustrates a drinking scene between Dionysus, the god of wine, and Hercules.
Pictures from the site show archaeologists beaming next to the discovery, which the IAA described as “spectacular.”

“In the center we see Dionysus, the god of wine, and around him a lively retinue of a host of mythological characters such as Maenads (female followers of Dionysus), satyrs, Hermes, Pan, lions and tigers,” the IAA’s statement read.
Archaeologists were unsure of what the entire scene depicted until the sarcophagus was handed over to the IAA’s conservation team — who assembled the fragments.
“Thanks to the restoration, the scenes have been fully revealed,” the IAA said.
IAA archaeologists likened the discovery to “a scene out of a movie.”
(France) More Footage Emerges of African-Involved Brawls at 2025 Music Festival
Tensions are rising in France after new video footage surfaced showing violent brawls during the 2025 Music Festival, involving predominantly African-origin youth. The clips, which went viral on social media, captured scenes of chaos in several locations where the event was held. The footage has reignited public outcry and renewed scrutiny over France’s immigration and public safety policies.
Eyewitnesses and local media reported that the altercations involved large groups, some armed with blunt objects and knives. Families attending the festival for its cultural spirit were seen fleeing in fear. Some videos show police attempting to intervene, while others suggest a lack of immediate response from law enforcement.
France—the cradle of European culture—can no longer afford to be held hostage by mismanaged migration and political correctness that turns a blind eye to the consequences. The safety of French citizens and the preservation of national identity must be top priorities once again.
If you ask a radical liberal, they’ll tell you that men have no physical advantage whatsoever when it comes to competing against women in sports, but believing that nonsense is one of the most anti-science and anti-reality things you can do. But that’s the left for you.
With that being said, it’s going to be hard for them to defend what the Switzerland Women’s National Soccer Team reportedly went through Wednesday, as they were absolutely clobbered … by a bunch of teenage boys.
Switzerland is currently getting prepared for the Euro 2025 tournament, so with this being the case, they decided to schedule a friendly exhibition against Luzern’s U15 boys’ team, meaning everybody on the roster is either 14 years old or younger. So in other words, the best women soccer players that Switzerland can provide faced off against a group of boys who literally just got to puberty.
But science being science, it doesn’t care about status, it only cares about physical biology, and this is why the U-15 boys absolutely thrashed the Switzerland women by a whopping 7-1 score … 7-1!
Insane. But this is a clear example of the physical advantage that males have over females.
Pretty embarrassing wouldn’t you say? It’s why I don’t buy the girls sports are as good as men’s. It’s also why trannies kick ass when they compete against the girls.
It sort of shoots a hole in the whole girls are hero’s story they try to sell us at the movies, but that is make believe, and it is.
Like Obama, she would dither and let Iran continue to verbally bully us and threaten our existence.
A former staffer to Presidents Joe Biden and Bill Clinton has admitted that Former Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn’t have displayed the “the courage or fortitude” that President Donald Trump demonstrated in order to take out Iran’s nuclear program.
“I voted for Kamala Harris and have been a vocal critic of many dangerous and undemocratic actions taken by President [Donald] Trump. I’m not a blind tribalist and am perfectly comfortable praising President Trump for bold and courageous actions in support of America’s core national interests, as he took last night,” Jamie Metzl, who served on the National Security Council staff during the Clinton administration and as a Senate staffer for Biden, stated on Sunday.
“Although I believe electing Kamala Harris would have been better for our democracy [and] society,” he went on. “I also believe VP Harris would not have had the courage or fortitude to take such an essential step as the president took last night.”
Look to the leadership and if it’s rd or blue and a lot of this makes sense. Although I loathe San Francisco, I’m glad it is there so the people that live in that shithole stay there and don’t come to my state.
The past year has been a true test of the effectiveness of local leadership. City leaders have had to deal with economic difficulties like high inflation, as well as other issues such as mass shootings with over 500 reported in 2024, keeping gun crime in the political spotlight.
I’m self-entertaining. I don’t need others to do something or for motivation to get something done. I’m perfectly happy to do a task alone and would likely enjoy it more.
It has other benefits such as I don’t look to others to see what I’m going to do, like not take the Covid-19 jab.
Critical thinking isn’t taught except in private schools anymore. There aren’t enough people who can think straight to begin with. Now………
Does ChatGPT harm critical thinking abilities? A new study from researchers at MIT’s Media Lab has returned some concerning results.
The study divided 54 subjects—18 to 39 year-olds from the Boston area—into three groups, and asked them to write several SAT essays using OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s search engine, and nothing at all, respectively. Researchers used an EEG to record the writers’ brain activity across 32 regions, and found that of the three groups, ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” Over the course of several months, ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study.
The paper suggests that the usage of LLMs could actually harm learning, especially for younger users. The paper has not yet been peer reviewed, and its sample size is relatively small. But its paper’s main author Nataliya Kosmyna felt it was important to release the findings to elevate concerns that as society increasingly relies upon LLMs for immediate convenience, long-term brain development may be sacrificed in the process.
“What really motivated me to put it out now before waiting for a full peer review is that I am afraid in 6-8 months, there will be some policymaker who decides, ‘let’s do GPT kindergarten.’ I think that would be absolutely bad and detrimental,” she says. “Developing brains are at the highest risk.”
Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Three black patrons went viral Wednesday after fleeing a black-owned Chicago restaurant without paying a $200 tab that included some of the most expensive meals on the menu.
The theft occurred on Monday at the outdoor patio of Phlavz Bar and Grille in the Windy City and first went viral on Instagram.
Footage showed the trio sitting at a table, then running as a server approached with the check. Seconds later, the server finds an empty table and no payment.
“It’s actually disappointing—very disappointing to see that from the community we actually serve,” Phlavz co-owner Andrew Bonsu told ABC 7 in an interview. “We pour into the community.”
Is Juneteenth being swallowed up – and swept away – by the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement? The nation’s newest federal holiday was meant to be a celebration of the end of slavery in America. It was never an LGBTQ holiday or general celebration of “marginalized communities.” Yet it seems some are trying to co-opt it – or culturally appropriate it, one might say – into the broader movement. As the tide of public and political opinion turns against DEI, however, will Juneteenth find itself washed away as well?
Officially, not many give a shit about this day. It’s as made up as Earth Day and some other non-essential holidays that interrupt our lives. I include Valentines Day as that is just for females really.
It was a bunch of pussies who bowed at the alter of diversity and made it up.
It’s a farce of a holiday anyway. It’s one that democrats made up to make themselves feel better as 100% of the slave owners were democrats.
A growing number of Juneteenth events across the U.S. are being scaled back or canceled as local governments and companies retreat from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives—a broader trend that critics say reflects growing public fatigue with corporate activism.
In Denver, one of the country’s largest Juneteenth celebrations was forced to slash its programming after more than a dozen corporate sponsors pulled out. Norman Harris, executive director of the Juneteenth Music Festival, said:
“There were quite a few sponsors who pulled back their investments or let us know they couldn’t or wouldn’t be in a position to support this year,” said Harris, who has overseen the event for more than a decade.
The two-day event in the city’s historic Five Points neighborhood was cut to just one day. Harris added:
“Thankfully, there was a wide range of support that came when we made the announcement that the celebration is in jeopardy.”
It’s not just Denver. In West Virginia, Juneteenth events were canceled altogether, with the governor’s office citing financial strain. The announcement followed Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s signing of legislation to eliminate all DEI programs statewide. His office said:
“Due to the continued fiscal challenges facing West Virginia, state government will not be sponsoring any formal activities,” deputy press secretary Drew Galang said in an email.
All she wanted for her birthday this year was some wholesome entertainment in the form of a stripper. Is that too much to ask from the nursing home she resides in? Absolutely not.
Griffiths’ request came in the form of a wish that each of the 22 residents of the Hawthorn Court Care Home were invited to make on a “wishing tree,” according to Wales Online.
She wrote, “It is my birthday coming up, so I would like a stripper.” The staff went about making the arrangements to make this centenarian’s wish for a “butler in the buff” come true.
The manager of the nursing home wasn’t at all surprised by the wish. She said, “It’s Gwyneth to a T… she is one hell of a woman!”
One of her children says that when she was younger she was a very quiet and mild-mannered woman. She was much more reserved than she is today.
I was reading the substack of Miguel Gonzales, he formerly of the Gun Free Zone blog. In the installment in question, he was relating a sort of fail, wherein he had a (I guess) “conversation” with a soul who articulated the (I guess) “thought” that Mr. Trump’s shooting in Butler PA last summer, was faked. Miguel described how that was, to be charitable, unlikely, with several failure modes which Miguel described.
His correspondent then pivoted to describe how tariffs were a horrible idea.
I could not enter my comment, so I inflict it upon you here.
“So, your corespondent was an ELEVENTY! Sharpshooter, eh? As well as an economist?
Was this soul an epidemiologist, as well?
I am reminded of the story of a fellow who, finding himself in the company of The Guru, and, seeking wisdom, inquired how The Guru achieved wisdom?
The Guru instructed the fellow, “Well, I never argue with stupid people.”
The fellow countered, “But, don’t you have an obligation to correct stupid people? Do you not have an obligation to set them straight?”
The Guru looked at him a moment, and then told him, “Of course. You are right.”
Prince William’s longtime friend, Sunjay Kapur, has died at age 53 after swallowing a bee, which triggered a fatal heart attack.
The billionaire businessman and chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar collapsed during a polo match in England on Thursday, the Mirror reports.
Kapur, who was the former husband of Bollywood superstar Karisma Kapoor, was stung by a bee on the mouth, which subsequently triggered anaphylactic shock that caused his heart to stop, the outlet added
The Los Angeles riots — while detestable in almost every conceivable fashion — continue to teach important life lessons to the thugs who are making them possible.
In a clip posted to social media platform X on Wednesday, one rioter reportedly learned that not everyone in the crowd was on his side after hurling an object, which appeared to be a can, at a police officer.
For his trouble, another man tackled him, laying him out on the concrete before police moved in.

Massive White Shark Bears Down on N.C. Outer Banks
Scientists call him Contender. He’s the largest white shark ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, and he’s making his way toward North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
The last telemetry recording showed the big shark a short distance off Pamlico Sound along the state’s coast, about 100 miles south of Norfolk, Virginia.
The website Ocearch tracks the shark and shows that the ocean predator has been prowling offshore for a few days.
The shark was tagged off the Florida coast on Jan. 17. Ocearch said Contender will be a valuable part of ocean research now that he’s been tagged.
Note, this article is a specific pre-curser to the asshole of the week Saturday post. It’s theme week ending up on Saturday with the AOTW, but here is where the backstory begins.
What’s the best way to win a state championship in softball? Allowing a male pitcher to take the mound against girls seemed to work for Champlin Park High School.
On Friday, Outkick reported the Champlin Park Rebels are now state champions after defeating Bloomington Jefferson in a 6–0 shutout at Jane Sage Cowles Stadium at the University of Minnesota.
The Rebels put Marissa Rothenberger – a male who is “trans” – on the mound where he capped off the Minnesota State High School League tournament with only allowing three hits in the shutout.
Rothenberger pitched for twenty-one innings across three games in the tournament, only giving up two runs. He also pitched for fourteen shutout innings in sectionals to help Champlin Park make the tournament.
Champlin Park clearly recognized the advantage of having a male athlete in the game as they never put their other pitcher Ava Abrahamson on the mound.
They either fix it or it’s men’s sports and then everyone else. Since the sane of us already know there are only male or female, that means men are going to kick ass every time when they enter girls sports.
The world is letting them get away with autogynephilia also.
Before some feminist loses her mind over the title, his post is a precursor to the AOTW Saturday post (asshole of the week). It’s about men in women’s sports and the woke trying to pretend it is something it isn’t.
At this point, these inept “lady cop” videos are practically a daily occurrence. Another viral video, another news story, another scene straight out of a sitcom, except it’s not scripted and nobody’s laughing for the right reasons. It’s just more proof of a fact many people refuse to admit: most women simply aren’t cut out for the brutal demands of frontline police work. And that’s not a dig; it’s biology.
Men and women are different. That used to be a common sense statement before it became a hate crime. The average woman isn’t wired for violent confrontation, tactical raids, or the split-second decision-making that life-or-death situations demand. And that’s perfectly fine, just like most men aren’t built for deeply nurturing, emotionally intensive caregiving roles.
But instead of embracing those differences and building a stronger society around complementary roles, we’re watching the system collapse under the weight of forced equity… and nobody suffers more than the women being shoved into roles they’re not equipped to handle. They’re being set up to fail. And boy, are they failing.
If you ever find yourself needing to dial 911, you’d better hope and pray that you don’t get one of the many female “Keystone Cops” now prevalent in police stations across the US and beyond. In these women’s misguided quest to prove they can do anything men can (which they often cannot), criminals are slipping through the cracks, resulting in injuries, and in this latest case, male bystanders are having to step in to help these female officers apprehend criminals.
while you may control the lesson plan, the teaching, and even the access, you cannot control that which is learned.
the lesson that is taken away is always and everywhere the choice of the learner.
schools and sports bodies are still trying to teach that “boys can be girls” and that this is not some sort of unfair advantage on the sports field.
it clearly is. it’s not even debatable.
the blank slatists of “gender is just a social construct” are endlessly shown to be liars in every field of athletic endeavor. “male biology and male puberty” are the most potent performance enhancing drugs known.
a group of texas under 15’s demolished the US women’s national soccer team.
look at the size difference. of course this was unfair.
this holds in basically every physical sport.
the below may be slightly dated at this point, but the basic premise holds:
apart from marathon (not an event in HS or NCAA) there is not a women’s world record in track and field that has not been beaten by a (often very young) boy.
most short-distance events see the women’s world champion exceeded by a 14-15 year old.
even the hyper endurance events like marathon where the differences are smaller and the age range stretches (likely because young men are discouraged/not allowed to run marathons for fear of injury), ulimately, the men’s marathon record is 2 hours 35 seconds, over 13 minutes faster than the women’s record)
the spread is huge in the “explosive” events like throwing and high jumping.
It’s why I don’t think they should make as much in Tennis. They play short matches and can’t play at that elite level. The top seeded female might get a few games off the worst guy, but not much more
Newly declassified intelligence records have revealed that the Biden administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists.”
The documents, which were declassified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, show that they cutely abbreviated the term to ‘DVEs’.
Catherine Herridge, one of the journalists who obtained the records, notes “The designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals.”
A former FBI agent told Herridge that this “is often the first step toward a formal investigation.”
Herridge further reports:
The report… claims that “anti government or anti authority violent extremists,” specifically militias, “characterize COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as evidence of government overreach.” A sweeping range of COVID narratives, the report states, “have resonated” with DVEs “motivated by QAnon.”
The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021 intelligence product whose title reads, “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”
The report cites criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. These narratives “include the belief that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.
“It’s a way they could go to social media companies and say, ‘You don’t want to propagate domestic terrorism so you should take down this content,’” said former FBI agent Steve Friend.
Wow. Those violent extremists believing that COVID vaccines were potentially unsafe for young people.
It’s not like they were 100% correct and big pharma is being forced to admit this is exactly the case.
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the effects of messenger RNA (mRNA) and inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines on ovarian histology and reserve in rats.
Methods: Thirty female Wistar albino rats, aged 16–24 weeks, were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10): control, mRNA vaccine, and inactivated vaccine groups. Each vaccine group received two doses (on day 0 and day 28) at human-equivalent doses. Four weeks post-second vaccination, ovarian tissues were harvested for analysis.
Results: Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate the expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), caspase-3, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in ovarian follicles. Both vaccines induced significant increases in TGF-β1, VEGF, and caspase-3 expression, with more pronounced effects in the mRNA vaccine group. Conversely, AMH expression in the granulosa cells of primary, secondary, and antral follicles showed marked reductions (p < 0.001). The counts of primordial, primary, and secondary follicles decreased significantly in the inactivated vaccine group relative to controls and further in the mRNA vaccine group compared to the inactivated group (p < 0.001). Additionally, the mRNA vaccine group exhibited a decrease in antral and preovulatory follicles and an increase in atretic follicles compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). The serum AMH level was diminished with the mRNA vaccination in comparison with the control and inactivated groups.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that both mRNA and inactivated COVID-19 vaccines may detrimentally impact ovarian reserve in rats, primarily through accelerated follicular loss and alterations in apoptotic pathways during folliculogenesis. Given these observations in a rat model, further investigations into the vaccines’ effects on human ovarian reserve are needed.
So, a pseudo-racism controversy so predictably nonexistent that you could have called it the moment it began percolating turns out to be nonexistent. You’re an ESPN commentator and you cosigned the existence of the controversy on-air. In fact, your comments have basically become the face of the controversy in sports media.
How do you apologize? Well, in this case, you use the second-most cowardly way for a public figure to back out of stupid remarks.
The first, by a mile, is, “Sorry my point was misunderstood.” Which is to say, the onus is on you: Sorry you lacked the discernment to understand what I actually meant to say, and instead took what I actually said at face value. That still remains the undisputed champion of the terrible public apology.
But second place, albeit a distant second, was trotted out by ESPN’s Chiney Ogwumike after she unfairly maligned the entire Indiana Fever fan base as racists: “Sorry that my message was in the heat of the moment.”

Man Attacked by Alligator, Shot by Deputies After Apparently Making the Dumbest Decision of His Life
A chaotic end for one man may serve as a warning for others about the dangers of methamphetamine, alligators, and charging police with garden shears.
The unusual incident started around 6 a.m. Monday in Lakeland, Florida, when the Polk County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a man, later identified as 42-year-old Timothy Schulz, acting erratically near a racetrack Monday morning. Deputies responded, but initially could not locate the individual.
Hours later, another caller reported a man swimming in a lake that was packed with alligators.
The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that one witness told investigators that he offered a life vest to the man, but was refused. Another witness said Schulz growled at them.
While in the water, things went from bad to worse for Schultz. At some point, it appears he was attacked by one of the lake’s resident reptiles.
Schulz eventually exited the water and made his way into a nearby neighborhood. He is believed to have found a pair of garden shears left in a yard there.
His actions grew increasingly aggressive as he walked the community. At one point, he threw a brick at a truck.
Life expectancy at birth measures the average number of years that a newborn could expect to live, if they were subject to the age-specific mortality rates of a given period.
ℹ️ This number visualized is an average between men and women. For extra context, women have higher life expectancies than men in nearly every country in the world.
Ranked: Countries Where People Live the Longest
The micronation of Monaco has the highest average life expectancy in the world. A baby born in the country in 2025 can expect to live to 87 years old.
The rankings are based on the average price per square meter for a prime 100–200 m² (1,075-2,150 sq. ft) apartment, sourced from New World Wealth and Henley & Partners.
What Is “Prime” Real Estate?
“Prime” real estate refers to properties in the most desirable global locations—whether for lifestyle, investment, or prestige. These homes typically share four key characteristics:
High-Value: Located in top-tier global cities or exclusive resort areas, with premium price tags per square meter.
Luxury-Oriented: High-end properties boasting top-tier amenities, design, and finishes.
Strategically Located: Found in stable, globally connected markets with strong lifestyle appeal.
Investment-Linked: Often eligible for residence or citizenship-by-investment programs, offering benefits beyond ownership.
The Global Leaders in Price per Square Meter
At the top of the list is Monaco, where prime real estate prices dwarf those of other markets.
The small principality on the French Riviera is a haven for the ultra-wealthy, driven by its low taxes, exclusive lifestyle, and financial services sector. With limited land and soaring demand, Monaco continues to command the highest prices globally.
Hoping to move away from the “hall monitor style of Democratic politics that turns off younger audiences”
It wasn’t all that long ago that Democrats and lefties tended to brag that they were the party of the youth. They didn’t need to reach young people, Republicans did.
Six months after the Democratic Party’s crushing 2024 defeat, the party’s megadonors are being inundated with overtures to spend tens of millions of dollars to develop an army of left-leaning online influencers.
There are already plenty of leftist online influencers and for all the “find the next Rogan” stuff, Rogan was a Bernie supporter. The trouble is that the popular lefty influencers, like Piker or Jackson Hinkle, have views horrifying enough to even make Dems do a double take. Like outright and unequivocal support for Islamic terrorists. (I’m sure Rogan will get there too.)
What the Dems really want are influencers who are left-wing, but not so left-wing they belong in Gitmo. That’s a problem because the spectrum of influencer politics tends to favor the most extreme views possible. So on the one hand you have Candace Owens and a guy who thinks the Nazis should have won the war, and on the other hand you have leftist influencers who want Communism now.
Delusions of Adequacy
