Why Does Vladimir Putin Walk Like That? [+video]

/2 Comments/in , /by

You may have never noticed it, but Russian President Vladimir Putin walks a little funny.

Now researchers think they know why: It’s most likely KGB weapons training at work.

Neurology professor Bastiaan Bloem of the Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands and colleagues had noticed that Putin often walks with his right arm held rigid, while his left arms swings freely.

“We were struck to find several consecutive YouTube recordings of Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, manifesting a clearly reduced right-sided arm swing,” Bloem and colleagues wrote in The BMJ, the British Medical Journal’s online publication which just happens to be running tongue-in-cheek holiday stories this week. (You can see the video here)

Bloem’s a movement disorders specialist and he and some colleagues had briefly wondered if it might be Parkinson’s disease, which can cause stiff movements. (Read more from “Why Does Vladimir Putin Walk Like That?” HERE)

Zombie Apocalypse A Possibility? Rise in Zombie-Like Infection Should Trigger An International Call of Action, An Expert Reveals

/0 Comments/in , /by

Can a zombie apocalypse really occur? Tara Smith, an associate professor from Ohio’s Kent State University is issuing an international call to action to fund and promote studies on how to prevent a possible zombie outbreak.

“Zombie expert Matt Mogk defines a zombie with three criteria: it is a reanimated human corpse; it is relentlessly aggressive, and it is biologically infected and infectious. But Mogk notes that this definition has been altered by the recognition of “rage” zombies, which are infected but still alive,” Smith wrote on a recently published BMJ study.

Smith cited several scientific studies, news reports and fictional works to back up her research. As listed on Discovery News, the author specified three possible pathogens that could cause an outbreak: the Black Plague bacteria Y. pestis, mad cow disease as well as the Cordyceps fungus.

Out of the three pathogens, it is the Cordyceps fungus which is the most common, with 400 known species. According to the publication, the parasitic fungus invades the body of its host and takes over, using the body as a means to make the fungus spores spread.

In a report by EurekAlert, Smith believes that the increase of similar zombie pathogens should be a sign that additional attention and funding should be provided into studying possible disease outbreaks.

Trump Just Brilliantly Destroyed the Saudi Prince Who Attacked Him

/8 Comments/in , /by

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump continues to take slings and arrows for his idea of temporarily banning Muslims from immigrating to the U.S. because of global terrorism; and late last week, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal added his voice to that criticism of Trump. But Trump had a one-line comeback to the Saudi prince’s attack that has supporters cheering.

On Friday, December 11, the prince tweeted out his slam on Trump, calling the real estate mogul a “disgrace.”

Still, two days later, on Sunday, The Donald had a retort that some might say completely undercut the prince’s lashing.

Trump is correct when he says that the Saudis have refused to take in any refugees. The Saudis have made this policy, saying that Syrian immigrants have been barred entry due to security concerns.

Meanwhile, over a million have immigrated to various European countries, causing an overload on resources and much internal strife. In fact, Germany has experienced so many problems from taking in the immigrants that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is now saying she intends to begin scaling back the number of new immigrants.

NOT NORMAL: ‘Transgender’ Man Claims He’s a 6-Year-Old Girl. Abandons Family…

/6 Comments/in , /by

Transgenderism is the new faux protected class that liberals want to claim are oppressed. Thanks Caitlyn Jenner. But the entire movement has become a slippery slope of weird, barreling down into the nonsensical. It has giant dress up Barbies.

Well I have a few opinions on the matter. Hopefully you were sitting down for that revelation.

“I can’t deny I was married. I can’t deny I have children,” Wolscht admits. “But I’ve moved forward now and I’ve gone back to being a child. I don’t want to be an adult right now and I just live my life like I couldn’t when I was in school.”

There it is. An admission of some mental instability. Not only that, but an admission of being a horrendously selfish human being. Oh I’m glad he’s happy.

What about the wife and children he abandoned? Are they happy?

Maybe sometimes there’s more to decision-making than what makes you happy. Sometimes you have to take responsibility for your actions, have compassion for others and do things you may not want to do.

It’s called being an adult. Boy do I wish this man’s kids had one for a parent.

Some other points:

How does one know they’re secretly a little girl? An obsession with horses via My Little Ponies?

How does a man know what it feels like to be a girl? Obviously he doesn’t, he’s basing his feelings on gender stereotypes, it’s all he’d have to go on. You’d think the SJW feminists would be all over transgender women for becoming walking stereotypes, but nah… Remember, they awarded Bruce Jenner (a dude) with “Woman of the Year.” Come on, what did you expect?

Most disturbing of all, he managed to find a new mommy and daddy. That’s another post altogether, come to think of it. Two adults opened their home to a man who thinks he’s a little girl. He’s playing with their young children…these parents need to be scrutinized. Hard. (For more from the author of “NOT NORMAL: ‘Transgender’ Man Claims He’s a 6-Year-Old Girl.

Obama Releases Dangerous Jihadists – Then Misleads Country About It

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Barack Obama says his administration will continue releasing terrorists from the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, so long as those released are less dangerous than the jihadists currently fighting against the U.S. and its interests.

The bizarre argument comes in a new interview with Olivier Knox of Yahoo! News and is one of several comments in their discussion that reinforces the president’s stubborn nonchalance on issues related to jihad. Obama also shrugs off concerns about recidivism of former Guantanamo detainees, suggesting that only a “handful” of former detainees have returned to the fight and claiming that only “low-level” terrorists have been released from the detention facility. Both claims are demonstrably false.

In the interview, Knox asked Obama about Ibrahim al Qosi, a Guantanamo detainee transferred by the Obama administration to Sudan in July 2012, who recently resurfaced as a leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, often described as the most dangerous al Qaeda branch. Al Qosi appeared in a propaganda video disseminated by the group last week. Knox asked Obama whether having someone return to the fight “in a big way,” like Qosi, has caused the administration to revisit its vetting procedures.

“I am absolutely persuaded, as are my top intelligence and military advisers, that Guantanamo is used as a recruitment tool for organizations like ISIS,” Obama began. “And if we want to fight ’em, then we can’t give ’em these kinds of excuses.” (Read more from “Obama Releases Dangerous Jihadists – Then Misleads Country About It” HERE)

E.P.A. Broke Law with Social Media Push for Water Rule, Auditor Finds

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Environmental Protection Agency engaged in “covert propaganda” and violated federal law when it blitzed social media to urge the public to back an Obama administration rule intended to better protect the nation’s streams and surface waters, congressional auditors have concluded.

The ruling by the Government Accountability Office, which opened its investigation after a report on the agency’s practices in The New York Times, drew a bright line for federal agencies experimenting with social media about the perils of going too far to push a cause. Federal laws prohibit agencies from engaging in lobbying and propaganda.

“I can guarantee you that general counsels across the federal government are reading this report,” said Michael Eric Hertz, a professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York who has written on social media and the government.

An E.P.A. official on Tuesday disputed the finding. “We use social media tools just like all organizations to stay connected and inform people across the country about our activities,” Liz Purchia, an agency spokeswoman, said in a statement. “At no point did the E.P.A. encourage the public to contact Congress or any state legislature.”

Is This the Real Face of Jesus?

/1 Comment/in , /by

He may be shown as a Caucasian man with long, flowing light brown hair in many religious artworks, but Jesus would have likely had a darker complexion and short, dark, curly hair, a forensic expert claims.

Retired medical artist Richard Neave has recreated the face of ‘Jesus’ by studying Semite skulls using modern-day forensic techniques.

His portrait shows the Son of God may have had a wide face, dark eyes, a bushy beard and short curly hair, as well as a tanned complexion.

These features would likely have been typical of Middle Eastern Jews in the Galilee area of northern Israel.

Dr Neave stressed the portrait is that of an adult man living at the same time and place as Jesus, but some experts say his depiction is still likely far more accurate than paintings by the great masters. (Read more from “Is This the Real Face of Jesus?” HERE)

Investigators Looking into Suspicious Activity at Walmart in Arkansas, Possible Terror Plot

/4 Comments/in , /by

Investigators with the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Prosecutors Office and Walnut Ridge Police are looking into suspicious activity that took place at the local Walmart located in Walnut Ridge over the weekend.

According to sources, a tip was received by the Deputy Prosecutors Office stating that a person or persons of middle-eastern descent was seen at the local Walmart in Walnut Ridge buying a large amount of Trac Phone type cell phones. The tip was then passed to local law enforcement who then contacted the local store and requested video from the store. According to sources the store only had 10 of these type phones and all 10 were purchased at one time by this person.

This activity came on the same weekend that a Walmart in Lebanon Missouri had 60 cells phones purchased, Laclede County Investigators were called in to investigate this and confirmed that the phones were purchased by persons of middle eastern descent with cash money, no charges were filed in the incident. A similar incident was also reported in Columbia Missouri last weekend as well.

Local law enforcement has contacted the Laclede County Sheriff’s Office (Lebanon Missouri) and requested video to compare to the local video taken. A similar incident took place in Michigan where arrest were made after suspects purchased a large number of cell phones.

Although there has been no direct link to any terror plots or groups in the recent string of purchases, law enforcement states people should be suspicious and report activity to local law enforcement. Reports after the recent San Bernardino incident stated neighbors saw suspicious activity but failed to report it to authorities stating racial profiling.
