    Graphene Oxide is a fairly new substance not yet well understood. But what we do know is that studies have proven it can be toxic to cells and tissues in the body. And further studies have shown Graphene Oxide to have toxic effects on blood cells, inducing oxidative stress and inflammation. This is why it’s concerning to find Graphene Oxide (GO) has been in and out of the news for the past two years in relation to the COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Several independent studies conducted by doctors and scientists have confirmed that Graphene Oxide is in...

    LOS ANGELES, CA — A reboot of the popular Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise will feature an all-female cast backing into rocks for two hours, says Disney. "Women walk the plank together," a tagline for the film reads, referencing how women should stand together in life — and how they always go to the bathroom together for some reason. The movie is expected to come in under budget thanks to the strategic use of Hollywood's gender pay gap combined with the fact the film only needs one set as the entire film takes place on a ship that has...

Thanks to that, the flight AF687 landed only 30 minutes late in Paris.

    Qantas passengers flying from Melbourne to Perth have suffered a scare as pilots were forced to manually shut down one of the plane's engines. Flight QF781 was on its way into Perth when the Airbus A330-200 started experiencing issues on its descent on Monday night. The pilot issued a PAN call, meaning possible assistance needed, and shut down one of the plane's engines. One passenger said they heard a loud noise that was like a tyre bursting. The plane landed safely without incident at 9:37pm and a Qantas spokesperson said all protocols were followed. The pilots followed the procedures for...

    A former Biden family business associate-turned-whistleblower who alleges the Bidens ran an international influence-peddling scheme that he witnessed firsthand is suing Fox News host Jessica Tarlov for defamation. The far-left co-host of “The Five” indicated his legal fees had been paid by a political action committee affiliated with former President Donald Trump. When Tarlov and her network were initially asked by Tony Bobulinski’s attorneys to apologize and offer a full retraction of the comment, both parties refused. In a lawsuit filed on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by Bobuinski and his attorney...

    The following essay is adapted from the author’s new book, Pagan America: The Decline of Christianity and the Dark Age to Come. It’s hard to survey the state of our country and not conclude that something is very wrong in America. I don’t just mean with our economy or the border or rampant crime in our cities, but with our basic grasp on reality itself. Our cultural and political elite now insist that men can become women, and vice versa, and that even children can consent to what they euphemistically call “gender-affirming care.” In a perfect inversion of reason and...

    A massive government-funded caravan is moving through Mexico where they will travel by bus to the United States. The Migrant Way of the Cross is currently making its way to the U.S. with more than 2,000 illegal immigrants with the help of government officials and NGOs. The caravan departed from Mexico’s Chiapas southern border carrying an oversized white wooden cross to show the so-called “hardships” illegal immigrants have to face while traveling illegally to the states. As the group made their way through Mexico, Mexican police officers escorted them alongside the road and controlled traffic. The Mexican National Migration Institute...

    Four years after bureaucrats tried to usurp the Pennsylvania legislature’s authority by counting ballots that violated state law, a panel of Democrat-appointed judges upheld a state law that says such ballots are invalid. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Wednesday that mail-in ballots that arrive in envelopes with a missing or incorrect date are not valid, overturning a lower court’s decision.“This is a crucial victory for election integrity and voter confidence in the Keystone State and nationwide,” Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley said in a statement. “Pennsylvanians deserve to feel confident in the security of...

    Winning requires first acknowledging past and existing problems.The Republican National Committee (RNC) is reportedly asking prospective employees what they think about the 2020 election — as they should. Citing unnamed sources, The Washington Post reported that job applicants at the RNC have been asked about whether they believe the 2020 election was “stolen,” although the Post acknowledged the questions were “open-ended.”The Post tried to spin the story as the RNC “demanding fealty” to former President Donald Trump, using the words of President Joe Biden’s rapid response director.

    Police have warned Canada's leaders they will struggle to contain the fury at its deteriorating economy and a generational revolt by young people unable to ever buy a home. The secret report by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police paints an apocalyptical picture of the future for America's northern neighbor, predicting it will be riven by economic crisis, ecological meltdown and territorial disintegration. The report has caused a sensation in the Great White North after a heavily redacted version was released following a long-running access to information request by a Canadian academic. Described by its authors as a 'scanning exercise', the...
  • Here’s the million-dollar question nobody is asking about the Baltimore bridge collapse…

    The recent bridge collapse in Baltimore is an absolute nightmare, and our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this incredibly tough time. Beyond the heart-wrenching loss and the basic “whys” everyone’s dealing with, there’s one crucial question not many are asking: Can America rebuild the bridge? Sure, it might seem odd to wonder about our capability to build a bridge in 2024, but sadly, it’s a valid concern these days. When you consider how our nation is faltering under inept globalist rule, dragged down by dangerous DEI agendas that place “charity” over excellence, and watching the decimation...
