Archaeologists Keep Unearthing Mysterious ‘Giant’ Prehistoric Hand Tools

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Archaeologists have unearthed a “giant” handaxe in southern England that was crafted by early human relatives more than 300,000 years ago, reports a new study. Measuring nearly a foot long from tip to butt, the artifact is the third biggest prehistoric handaxe ever found in Britain and belongs to a special class of big tools with mysterious origins. . .

So-called “giant” handaxes, which are more than 22 centimeters in length, are among the most puzzling tools from these extinct groups. Whereas most axes are designed to fit in a normal human hand, give or take, the super-sized versions seem unwieldy and impractical, raising questions about their purpose to their creators.

Now, researchers led by Letty Ingrey, a senior archeologist at University College London, report the discovery of “a very large flint cutting tool, or handaxe, which is currently the third largest known to be found in Britain,” according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Internet Archaeology.

The handaxe, which dates back some 300,000 years to the Middle Pleistocene period, was found during excavations in Frindsbury, Kent, a region in the Medway Valley that is known for its abundance of early human artifacts of a similar age.

‘Missing’ Hunter Biden Witness Comes Forward in Video Statement Accusing Bidens of Corruption, DOJ of Coverup

/6 Comments/in , , /by

American-Israeli energy expert Gal Luft accused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of maliciously targeting him to protect President Joe Biden on Wednesday.

Luft said in a video statement obtained by the New York Post that he had provided evidence of Biden family corruption to the FBI and DOJ in March of 2019, weeks before Biden announced his run for the White House. Luft said he heard nothing from the DOJ until American authorities arrested him in Cyprus earlier this year on charges of illegal arms trading, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, and lying to the FBI.

Luft has been the “missing witness” of House Republicans’ investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings for months, according to the Post. House investigators have been unable to locate him to request his testimony to Congress.

Luft, who spends most of his time in Israel, offered to meet with the DOJ in 2019 to hand over evidence and information from Hunter Biden’s dealings with CEFC. Luft advised the now-defunct Chinese energy company for roughly four years and during the time that Hunter and the company were working together.

Luft said he met a six-person team from the DOJ and FBI in Brussels in March weeks before President Biden announced his bid for the White House. The team included two DOJ prosecutors from the Southern District of New York, Daniel Richenthal and Catherine Ghosh. Representing the FBI side, Special Agent Joshua Wilson of the Baltimore field office was one of the four in attendance. Wilson’s signature would later appear on the subpoena authorizing the FBI to confiscate Hunter’s laptop from a Delaware computer repair store.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden kicked off his speech today in South Carolina by kicking the podium, stating that he was, “If you’re wondering what I’m kicking here, I’m kicking the stand in. It’s not working.”

Biden the repeatedly kicks the podium, spins around backwards, and attempts to kick the stand up from that angle. Despite his effort, Biden claimed that the stand still did not work. He can be quoted as saying, “How bout that? Alright, maybe I’ll stand on it… I’ll be 6’4.” . . .

When talking about the deficit, Biden began leaned in and delivered a creepy whisper. Biden continues to claim that he reduced the deficit by $1.7 Trillion, which is false. The deficit fell because of the expiration of COVID spending. Biden’s policies have actually increased the deficit. See a clip of Biden whispering below…

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen set fire to a replica of the Bill of Rights Thursday outside the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.

The businessman, activist, and philanthropist led a protest outside the DOJ to criticize the treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and emphasize the importance of a free press.

“Little did we know that our greatest struggle would be when we tried to bring the First Amendment to the United States,” said Cohen, who resigned as CEO of Ben & Jerry’s in 1996.

6,000 Congregations Are Leaving the United Methodist Church in a Split Over LGBTQ Agenda

/0 Comments/in , /by

About a fifth of the congregations in the second largest Protestant church in the U.S. are splitting away over a schism about the inclusion of the LGBTQ agenda in Christianity.

That comes to about 6,000 communities in the United Methodist Church, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune.

“I don’t think any of us want to see any of our churches leave,” said UMC Council of Bishops president Bishop Thomas Bickerton.

“We’re called to be the body of Christ, we’re called to be unified,” he added. “There’s never been a time when the church has not been without conflict, but there’s been a way we’ve worked through that.”

The mass exodus was the latest development in the years-long debate over LGBTQ inclusion in Methodist theology. Traditional Protestant teaching forbids gay relationships and marriages, but some members and churches are opposing the biblical teaching.

Teachers’ Union Recommends Sexually Explicit Graphic Novel, Other Controversial Books on Its Summer Reading List

/0 Comments/in , /by

The country’s largest teachers’ union recently released its latest summer reading list, which recommended a sexually explicit graphic novel and several other controversial books to educators.

The National Education Association published a list of 11 suggested reads divided into several sections, including “books that make you forget work,” “books to celebrate or understand Juneteenth,” and “books that will make you a better educator.”

The summer list also included a “banned books” section encouraging bookworms to “celebrate the freedom to read!”

Most notably, the NEA’s recommendations included the controversial graphic comic book, “Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maira Kobabe.

The NEA’s website stated, “Twilight used to be at the top of banned-book lists for its racy content. Today, those lists are much more likely to feature LGBTQ+ people or People of Color.” (Read more from “Teachers’ Union Recommends Sexually Explicit Graphic Novel, Other Controversial Books on Its Summer Reading List” HERE)

CDC Now Giving Tips for Trans People Who Want to Breastfeed

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, last seen making toddlers mask for a virus that barely affected them — using masks that didn’t prevent exposure — now has suggestions for trans men and women who want to breastfeed. . .

The term is now “chestfeed,” because why would we assume that the person doing the feeding has breasts? . . .

The CDC advice isn’t just for biological women who have removed their breasts but still want to nurse babies, it’s also for biological men, who through the magic of plastic surgery also have breasts and would now like to use these breasts to feed babies.

As that’s biologically impossible, the CDC suggests getting help with “maximizing milk production, supplementing with pasteurized donor human milk or formula, medication to induce lactation.”

A 2022 CDC note specified “an individual does not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed.” (Read more from “CDC Now Giving Tips for Trans People Who Want to Breastfeed” HERE)

What Is ‘Long Vax?’ Symptoms Linked to COVID-19 Shot Baffle Docs

/0 Comments/in , /by

You’ve heard of “long COVID,” the cases of people who can’t shake the lingering symptoms of COVID-19.

Now comes “long vax” — a rare, but baffling set of symptoms that follow a small number of people for months after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

“You see one or two patients and you wonder if it’s a coincidence,” Dr. Anne Louise Oaklander, a neurologist and researcher at Harvard Medical School, told Science.

“But by the time you’ve seen 10, 20 [patients],” she said, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

Cases are very rare — even less common than the few reported cases of long COVID — and medical experts are still analyzing data to determine what might be behind them. (Read more from “What Is ‘Long Vax?’ Symptoms Linked to COVID-19 Shot Baffle Docs” HERE)

House Freedom Caucus Kicks Out Marjorie Taylor Greene, Member Says

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The House Freedom Caucus stripped Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) of her caucus membership, according to Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), a member of the caucus’s executive board.

Harris indicated to reporters Thursday that the final “straw” for Greene, who has been cooperating with House leadership as she seeks to pass legislation, was when she called fellow member Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a “little bitch” on the House floor last month.

“I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should,” Harris told Politico and CNN.

Greene had lobbed the insult at Boebert while charging that Boebert had “copied” her by filing her own impeachment articles against President Joe Biden after Greene had already done so.

The testy remarks were first reported in the Daily Beast, which also reported that one lawmaker confirmed Boebert, in fact, opposed kicking Greene out of the group. (Read more from “House Freedom Caucus Kicks Out Marjorie Taylor Greene, Member Says” HERE)

Report: Joe Biden to Supply Ukraine With Controversial Cluster Bombs

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden is expected to supply Ukraine with cluster bombs, which much of the world has vowed not to use due to their long-term effects on civilians.

A senior Biden administration official told the New York Times that the United States will provide Ukraine with cluster munitions after Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky pushed for America to provide the country with the controversial and widely-banned weapon.

Cluster munitions are a category of rockets, bombs, missiles, and artillery projectiles that break apart in the air and blanket a large area. The munitions often fail and can devastate civilians.

Humanitarian groups state that a fifth or more of the munitions can linger and harm civilians years after the conflict. More than 100 countries have signed the Convention of Cluster Munitions, promising not to use them. However, Russia, the United States, and Ukraine have not signed the treaty.

Ukraine has claimed that cluster munitions would help its counteroffensive against Russia. (Read more from “Report: Joe Biden to Supply Ukraine With Controversial Cluster Bombs” HERE)
