PETA Got Fact-Checked for Their Thanksgiving Tweet, And It’s Hilarious

/0 Comments/in , , /by

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving with your families. It’s one of the best holidays of the year that sadly gets undercut due to its proximity to Christmas. Still, given how social media has exploded, along with the trend that everyone and anyone needs to weigh in on something, a**holery has proliferated. It’s not a credit to them, but the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has been consistent with these sorts of posts on the holidays.

It got community noted, which was one of the best. It’s hilarious because it’s tongue-in-cheek to the nth degree. It shows a bunch of mega-sized turkeys about to feast on a beheaded human for Thanksgiving. It’s meant to promote going vegetarian or something, which will never happen, and tofu turkeys are sacrilege. The note was a bit educational; I never knew turkeys ate frogs:

Turkeys are not vegetarians. Turkeys eat mice, lizards, frogs, and just about anything they can fit in their mouth. If turkeys were larger or had the technological means to farm and eat humans, their current diet reveals they likely would.

Trump Extends Thanksgiving Wishes, Expresses Gratitude, and Forecasts a Brighter Future in Holiday Message

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a Thanksgiving morning video message shared on his Truth Social account and later posted on the Trump War Room Twitter account, former President Donald Trump conveyed warm wishes to all Americans, expressed gratitude to God, and promised a brighter future. In the video, Trump extended his Thanksgiving greetings, emphasizing the importance of giving thanks for the blessings bestowed by Almighty God, including families, friends, neighbors, and the remarkable country that is home to all.

Trump took a moment to express his deep appreciation for the service members of the U.S. Armed Forces, border patrol, law enforcement, ICE, and other patriots working diligently to preserve the nation’s system and defend its southern border. Acknowledging the challenges the country faces, he urged Americans not to lose hope, assuring them that by the next Thanksgiving in 2024, the nation would be well on its way to becoming “stronger, safer, more prosperous, and greater than ever before.”

The former president’s optimistic message comes at a time when he continues to dominate the Republican primary field, according to recent polling data. A survey by Emerson College Polling indicated Trump’s strong lead with 64 percent support in the primary field nationally, while a Harvard-Harris poll showed him approaching 70 percent backing. Trump’s popularity extends beyond the primary race, as both polls indicated him holding an advantage over President Joe Biden in potential matchups.

As Trump remains a prominent figure in the political landscape, his Thanksgiving message reflects not only a message of holiday cheer but also a glimpse into his ongoing influence and aspirations for the nation’s future.

Pentagon Official Arrested in Human Trafficking Sting

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The chief of staff for Department of Defense Education Activity schools in the U.S. was arrested last week during a two-day human trafficking operation in Coweta County, Georgia, according to local authorities.

Stephen Hovanic, 64, of Sharpsburg, Georgia, was arrested Nov. 15 in a sting that netted 25 additional suspects on charges related to prostitution as well as drugs, weapons and warrants, according to the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office and its Police to Citizen Portal website.

Hovanic was charged with pandering — a crime that involves inducing or compelling an individual to take part in prostitution. In Georgia, it is a misdemeanor charge that includes soliciting the services of a prostitute, either for oneself or an arrangement for a third party.

Hovanic has served as chief of staff for DoDEA Americas since October 2010, according to his Defense Department biography, which has since been removed from the DoDEA website. An educator for more than 40 years, he worked as a high school vocational teacher, coach and school administrator in the Virginia public school system before joining DoDEA as assistant principal of Quantico High School in 1996.

Surge in Gun Ownership: Poll Reveals Record Highs and Shifting Attitudes on Firearm Ownership”

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent national poll conducted by NBC News has unveiled a notable increase in firearm ownership in the United States, marking a record high since the inception of the poll question in 1999. According to the survey, 52% of respondents reported having a gun in their household, signaling a significant uptick from 42% in 2013 and 46% in 2019.

Micah Roberts, representing a Republican polling firm and one of the co-conductors of the poll alongside members of Hart Research, a Democratic polling firm, expressed astonishment at the findings. Roberts highlighted the substantial 10-point growth in gun ownership over the past decade, emphasizing the unusual nature of such a rapid and substantial shift in a fundamental aspect of American life.

“In the last ten years, we’ve grown [10 points] in gun ownership. That’s a very stunning number,” remarked Roberts, emphasizing the uncommon nature of such a substantial change in a relatively short period. He added, “By and large, things don’t change that dramatically that quickly when it comes to something as fundamental as whether you own a gun.”

The NBC poll is not the only recent survey shedding light on changing attitudes towards gun ownership. A concurrent Harvard poll indicated that six out of ten voters believe owning a gun is necessary for self-protection against criminals. This suggests a growing perception among Americans that firearm ownership is an essential element of personal safety.

The combination of these polls suggests a nuanced landscape of shifting perspectives on gun ownership, reflecting both an increase in the actual presence of firearms in households and a changing attitude toward the necessity of owning a gun for self-defense.

U.S. Military Bases in Iraq and Syria Targeted in Thanksgiving Day Attacks

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thanksgiving Day, U.S. bases and troops in Iraq and Syria faced a series of attacks involving mortars and armed drones, as reported by Sky News Arabia. The assaults targeted U.S. and international forces in both countries, with incidents occurring at the Ain al-Asad air base west of Baghdad and the Harir base near Erbil Airport in northern Iraq, where U.S. troops are stationed. The attacks, orchestrated by a group identifying itself as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, included the deployment of suicide drones and claims of militia forces storming the base using rocket-propelled grenades and small arms.

Despite the intensity of the attacks, there were no reported casualties or damage to infrastructure. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for the assaults, and unconfirmed video footage purportedly showing the attack circulated online.

These Thanksgiving Day attacks mark the latest in a series of incidents targeting U.S. bases and troops in the region. Since October 17, the count of attacks has risen to 66, with at least 62 reported injuries. The surge in attacks began ten days after Hamas initiated an attack on Israel on October 7, resulting in over 1,200 casualties.

Retired Special Forces Chief Warrant Officer 3 Joe Kent, currently running for Congress in Washington state, criticized the situation, attributing the rocket attacks to two decades of failed U.S. policies and alleging corruption within the Biden administration.

Pope Francis Dines With Transgender Women for Vatican Luncheon

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pope Francis hosted a group of transgender “women” — many of whom are sex workers or migrants from Latin America — to a Vatican luncheon for the Catholic Church’s “World Day of the Poor” last week.

The pontiff and the transgender “women” have formed a close relationship since the pope came to their aid during the COVID-19 pandemic, when they were unable to work. Now, they meet monthly for VIP visits with the pope and receive medicine, money and shampoo any day, according to The Associated Press.

“Before, the church was closed to us. They didn’t see us as normal people, they saw us as the devil,” one member of the transgender group, Andrea Paola Torres Lopez, told the AP.

Some 1,200 people who are impoverished or homeless also attended the luncheon inside the papal audience hall for a full meal and dessert.

The invitation to the transgender “women” comes as the Vatican released a controversial document earlier this month affirming that individuals suffering from gender-identity disorders are allowed to be baptized or be named as godparents under specific circumstances.

Catholic Women’s School Saint Mary’s College to Admit Transgender Applicants

/0 Comments/in , /by

Saint Mary’s College has approved a policy to consider male applicants who “identify as women,” which would effectively strip the school of its ability to accurately call itself a women’s college.

The college’s “non-discrimination” policy now says that Saint Mary’s can consider admission for undergraduate applicants “whose sex is female or who consistently live and identify as women,” according to a report by the Observer.

“The mission of Saint Mary’s College is to empower women, through education, at all stages in life,” the policy reads. “Essential to this mission is fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive campus experience. This mission is inherently tied to the vision and values of our founders and sponsors, the Sisters of the Holy Cross.”

President Katie Conboy said in a Tuesday email to to faculty, staff, and students that the Board of Trustees “fully supports” the new policy.

“This confidence from our Board underscores their commitment that as an employer, Saint Mary’s must stand firm in its position as an inclusive community leader, and that as educators, we should continue to create an environment where all women belong and thrive,” Conboy wrote.

Where The Biden Impeachment Effort Stands Heading Into 2024

/1 Comment/in , /by

House Republicans are setting the stage for what could be a vote on articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden early next year.

A report published this week by POLITICO quoted multiple GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee — which would spearhead the drafting of any articles of impeachment — urging the chamber to move quickly toward a decision heading into 2024, which is a presidential election year in which Biden is seeking a second term in the White House.

“We understand that the further you go toward an election, the more politicized these conversations become. That’s why it’s all the more important for us to begin to take action sooner rather than later,” Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA), a member of the Judiciary Committee, told the news outlet. Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), another member of that panel, added, “I think it needs to move with alacrity. I’ve always felt that we should be able to move faster. … But I do anticipate that it comes to Judiciary soon.”

The report also noted that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, predicted a decision would happen early in 2024 and said, “We can decide on whether or not there’s articles” after completing a series of depositions that lawmakers hope to complete in the coming weeks.

Another State Is Banning the Sale of New Gas-Powered Cars

/0 Comments/in , , /by

New Jersey officials announced Tuesday that the state would be joining a growing list of Democrat-led states slated to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035.

New Jersey becomes at least the 17th state to follow some or all of California’s Advanced Clean Cars II rule that was passed by a regulatory board in the summer of 2022. Democratic Governor Phil Murphy said the move will help “lower emissions and improve air quality,” claiming that the new rule will also “preserve consumer choice.”

“The steps we take today to lower emissions will improve air quality and mitigate climate impacts for generations to come, all while increasing access to cleaner car choices,” Murphy said in a press release. “Indeed, together with my Administration’s continuing investments in voluntary electric vehicle incentives, charging infrastructure, and the green economy, these new standards will preserve consumer choice and promote affordability for hardworking New Jerseyans across the state.”

The Garden State joins California, Vermont, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Virginia, Rhode Island, Maryland, and Connecticut in committing to implement the complete ban on new gas-powered vehicles, The Hill reported. The ban will not affect gas-powered vehicles already owned or the sale of used gas-powered vehicles. (Read more from “Another State Is Banning the Sale of New Gas-Powered Cars” HERE)

Alarming Surge in Cancer Deaths Among Young People Raises Questions About the Impact of Mass COVID-19 Vaccination

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new analysis by Edward Dowd, a former Wall Street hedge fund manager and author, has uncovered a disturbing trend of rapidly metastasizing and terminal cancers among teenagers and young individuals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s in the UK. The shocking findings, detailed in Dowd’s 45-page report titled “‘Cause Unknown’: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022,” suggest a sharp increase in cancer mortality rates since the commencement of mass COVID-19 vaccination efforts.

Dowd based his analysis on government statistics from the UK’s Office for National Statistics, focusing on International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes related to malignant neoplasms (cancer) for the years 2010 to 2022. The study revealed a concerning pattern, with 8% of deaths among 15- to 44-year-olds in 2021 and 30% in 2022 not yet coded, indicating a potential underestimation of the problem.

Despite missing codes, Dowd’s analysis of the remaining data highlighted a significant increase in cancer deaths, particularly among individuals aged 15 to 44. The study identified a 28% rise in fatal breast cancer rates in women, an 80% increase in pancreatic cancer deaths among women, a 60% increase in colon cancer deaths among men, and alarming spikes in fatal melanomas, brain cancer, and cancers without site specification.

Dowd emphasized that the observed patterns are a cause for concern and should prompt further investigation by medical professionals. The report underscores the need for a reality check on health trends among younger individuals, focusing on the potential link between COVID-19 vaccines and the surge in cancer deaths.

Dr. Chris Flowers, an academic physician and breast cancer specialist in England, expressed deep concern over the data, emphasizing the severity of fatal cancers in the young that emerged in 2022. Flowers, along with colleagues in the U.S. and U.K., has observed a notable increase in cancer rates, with younger individuals presenting advanced tumors and cases of what some oncologists are now terming “turbo cancers” – aggressive and rapidly progressing forms of the disease.

Dr. Pierre Kory, a pulmonologist and critical care doctor, and David Wiseman, Ph.D., a pharmacist with expertise in experimental pathology, have also reported an influx of cancer-related concerns from patients and colleagues. Wiseman highlighted CDC data showing signals for cancer in COVID-19 vaccines, indicating the importance of further investigation into potential vaccine-related risks.

Dowd’s report raises critical questions about the impact of mass vaccination efforts on public health, particularly concerning potential connections between COVID-19 vaccines and the surge in cancer mortality among young individuals in the UK.
