Gaming and Porn Causing Young Men’s Testosterone Levels to Plummet, Worldwide

/0 Comments/in , /by

On both sides of the Atlantic, young men’s testosterone levels are tanking, according to studies [leading experts to research why].

Extensive gaming is strongly associated with hyperprolactinemia, a condition that involves higher-than-normal levels of prolactin, the hormone best known for its role in breast tissue growth and milk production, in the bloodstream.

Also, video gaming is, contrary to popular belief, quite stressful. Video game anxiety is a real problem. Anxiety causes stress. In males, stress increases prolactin production. Too much prolactin interferes with testosterone production and affects a man’s ability to maintain an erection.

Similarly, excessive consumption of pornography is associated with lower reproductive hormone levels in men.

Moreover, excessive video gaming and porn use can destroy an individual’s sleep cycle. Impaired sleep is also strongly associated with low testosterone. (Read more from “Gaming and Porn Causing Young Men’s Testosterone Levels to Plummet, Worldwide” HERE)

Attorney Says University of Idaho Victims’ Families Want Death Penalty for Accused Killer: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The families of two of the four victims slain in the University of Idaho killings last year reportedly signaled they support the death penalty for the 28-year-old man accused of the quadruple murder.

The suspect, who The Daily Wire will not name per company policy, was indicted on charges including first-degree murder six weeks after four friends and college students — Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21 — were stabbed to death on November 13, 2022.

Shanon Gray, the attorney representing Goncalves’ family, told NewsNation that the prosecutor on the case would “meet with all the families individually and then make a decision based on that.”

“So, the Goncalves family obviously supports the death penalty in this case,” said Gray.

Gray said the families plan to pursue legal action against the city of Moscow over the next two years “seeking clarity on the state’s intention to pursue the death penalty,” the outlet reported.

Target Loses $10B in 10 Days After Boycott Calls Over LGBTQ-Friendly Kids Clothing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Target has lost $10 billion in market valuation over the last 10 days as the popular retailer continues to face backlash over its Pride-themed clothing line for children.

A week ago Wednesday, Target enjoyed its stock value at $160.96 a share, but following the calls to boycott the Minneapolis-based retailer over its “PRIDE” collection, the value plummeted and closed Friday at $138.93 a share.

The nearly 14% drop in value for the blue chip stock roughly translates to a $10.1 billion loss in valuation to just $64.2 billion for Target, which has nearly 2,000 stores nationwide.

The plummet stands as the retailer’s lowest stock price in nearly three years. The last time the company saw a drop nearly this big came in 2022 after the stocks equalized following an unprecedented surge during the COVID pandemic.

Target, which has been caught in the middle of America’s culture wars over gender, moved its Pride section in some Southern stores away from the front last week after it said displays were knocked over by protesters, who also confronted workers.

Top Progressive Slams Debt Ceiling Bill as ‘Absolutely Terrible’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) denounced the provisional debt ceiling deal struck between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and President Joe Biden, describing it as, “absolutely terrible policy.”

The Progressive Caucus Chair appeared on CNN to express her opposition to the tentative debt ceiling compromise.

Particularly, Jayapal took issue with the inclusion of some work requirements for SNAP benefits, which she said would affect poor people. Though she said that she hadn’t yet read the full text of the bill and isn’t able to determine if the work requirements are a deal-breaker, she criticized Republicans’ handling of negotiations.

“First of all, let me say, terrible policy,” Jayapal said. “Absolutely terrible policy; does not reduce spending, actually, by some estimates, creates a burden on administrative spending that is actually worse for, you know, for the overall cost of a program like that. Number two, it is about people who are hungry, people who just need a little bit of temporary assistance…and we are one of the only countries in the world, if not the only country in the world, that is an industrialized country that puts any requirements on people who just want food. So very bad policy; does not save money and, by the way, does not work.” (Read more from “Top Progressive Slams Debt Ceiling Bill as ‘Absolutely Terrible'” HERE)

EU Furious After Elon Musk Pulls Twitter Out of Online Censorship Programme

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senior EU officials were furious on Friday after Twitter owner Elon Musk pulled the platform out of the bloc’s online censorship project.

Elon Musk has pulled Twitter out of the EU’s “Code of Practice”, a pro-censorship project aimed at countering so-called “disinformation” online, prompting fury from those in Brussels.

It comes after months of mixed messages from the billionaire, who had publicly stated that he wanted to support free speech on the platform while repeatedly insisting that he would support the European Union in its pro-censorship crusade.

According to a report by POLITICO, it appears that the Big Tech entrepreneur may be prioritising his freedom of speech committment over pleasing EU overlords, with the publication detailing rumours that Musk was pulling Twitter out of the voluntary anti-disinformation project.

This was later confirmed by EU Internal Market Commissar Thierry Breton, who wrote on Twitter that the platform had indeed left the project.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most Republicans believe former President Donald Trump has a better chance of winning the 2024 general election than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), a recent survey from The Economist/YouGov found.

The survey, taken May 20-23, 2023, prior to DeSantis formally announcing his 2024 presidential bid, asked respondents, “Which of these two Republicans do you think has the best chance of winning the 2024 general election for president?” The choices were either Trump or DeSantis.

Overall, a plurality, 40 percent, said Trump has the best chance of the two to win the general election in 2024.

Twenty-eight percent said the same for DeSantis, and nearly one-third, 32 percent, said they remain unsure. (Read more from “Poll: Most Republicans Say Trump Has Better Chance Than DeSantis to Win 2024 General Election” HERE)

Biden Gives Update on Debt Ceiling Agreement

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that a debt ceiling bipartisan agreement with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) has taken the “threat of catastrophic default off the table.”

The two finalized the deal and is expected to go to the House Wednesday evening. However, the agreement still needs approval from both chambers of Congress.

“[The deal] represents a compromise, which means no one got everything they wanted. But that’s the responsibility of governing,” Biden said. “The agreement prevents the worst possible crisis and default for the first time in our nation’s history.”

The agreement comes just days before the U.S. would have faced its first-ever default. (Read more from “Biden Gives Update on Debt Ceiling Agreement” HERE)

Leading Sanitary Products Brand Is Accused of ‘Erasing’ Girls in a New Guide to Periods by Referring to Them as ‘Bodies With Female Sex Organs’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A leading brand of sanitary products has been accused of ‘dehumanising’ women by referring to girls as ‘bodies with female sex organs’ in a pamphlet explaining puberty to children.

The guidance produced by Always also faced charges that it was attempting to ‘erase’ women by avoiding the use of the word ‘girls’.

The pamphlets are included in ‘puberty kits’ containing period pads and panty liners the brand sends to schools to give to pupils.

The 22-page booklet, entitled a ‘Puberty and Confidence Guide for Everyone’, details both female and male puberty developments but at no point mentions ‘boys’ or ‘girls’, instead using ‘people’ or ‘person’.

In a section on the menstrual cycle, the guide says: ‘Every month, bodies with female sex organs prepare for pregnancy.’ (Read more from “Leading Sanitary Products Brand Is Accused of ‘Erasing’ Girls in a New Guide to Periods by Referring to Them as ‘Bodies With Female Sex Organs’” HERE)

Parents Outraged After School Will Keep Kid’s Preferred Gender Identities Under Wraps

/0 Comments/in , /by

North Dakota parents fumed at a school board after discovering it has kept students’ preferred gender identities under wraps.

Fargo Public Schools publicly announced that they would defy Republican Gov. Doug Burgum’s law that bans such actions in the classroom.

“We will not openly out any student because of one law if we know that that’s going to cause harm to that child,” Fargo Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Rupak Gandhi said.

The school district, among other schools in the country, has indicated they will allow minors to decide on which gender they, fueling the Left’s radical agenda.

The bill, signed into law this month, bans school boards from instilling policies that require the use of a student’s preferred pronouns, barring schools and teachers from “withhold[ing] or conceal[ing] information about a student’s transgender status from the student’s parent or legal guardian.” (Read more from “Parents Outraged After School Will Keep Kid’s Preferred Gender Identities Under Wraps” HERE)
