Researchers Just Made a Terrifying Discovery in the Cellphone-Cancer Risk

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. For years, researchers have questioned if excessive cellphone use is linked to cancer.

Millions of people every day are constantly connected to their phones – making calls, texting, taking pictures, and surfing social media. Even cellular radiation experts can have a hard time disconnecting.

But a new study suggests cellphone use can increase the chance of developing cancer, KDKA-TV reported. Studies from France and Italy had similar findings.

The issue is especially timely as 5G, a new and stronger broadband, is expected to come online later this year.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at Research Triangle Park in North Carolina recently hosted a panel of the world’s top experts to review findings from a $25 million study on cellphones and cancer, according to WNCN-TV.

Can Cellphones Cause Cancer? Experts Surprised by Latest Tests

By CBS. Can cellphones really cause cancer? It’s been a question that’s dogged researchers for years.

The panel voted that the results from years of testing on mice and rats were more significant than originally thought.

They say they found clear evidence that phone radiation caused tumors in the hearts of rats, which were similar to tumors in people.

“In humans, it’s seen in the vestibular nerve, in the ear, the acoustic nerve. We found it in the heart, although our animals were exposed in their whole body condition,” John Bucher said.

“While a given animal is not making a cellphone call, they are, throughout their short two-year lifetime getting the same exposure that we expect people to get in their 70-plus years of life,” Dr. Devra Davis, of Environmental Health Trust, said.

California’s Latest Claim: Sexual Orientation Counseling ‘Fraud’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The stunning intervention in the practice of counselors who assist people with same-sex attractions is proposed in a new bill introduced by the Assembly.

The sponsors contend “contemporary science recognizes that being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender is part of the natural spectrum of human identity and is not a disease, disorder, or illness.”

That assumption, in defiance of virtually all medical and mental health conclusions for much of the 20th century that homosexuality is a disorder, is their starting point.

They then cite the statements of organizations, such as the Pan American Health Organization, that support homosexuality.

They argue: “Courts, including in California, have recognized the practice of sexual orientation change efforts as a commercial service. Therefore, claims that sexual orientation change efforts are effective in changing an individual’s sexual orientation, may constitute unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practices under state consumer protection laws. This bill intends to make clear that sexual orientation change efforts are an unlawful practice under California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act.” (Read more from “California’s Latest Claim: Sexual Orientation Counseling ‘Fraud'” HERE)

SEE IT: Jim Carrey Paints Gruesome Death of Trump Sons

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. On Tuesday, troubled Hollywood actor and comedian Jim Carrey posted a painting to social media depicting the two eldest Trump sons, Don Jr. and Eric, being gruesomely murdered by an elephant.

In the painting, Don Jr. has a bloody elephant tusk rammed through his stomach and Eric, a bloody tusk through the heart. The men are shown with their hunting rifles, seemingly a slight at the sons’ big-game hunting hobby. Carrey, for good measure, added a #TeamElephant caption to the post.

This is not the first time Carrey has gone after members of Team Trump. Earlier this month, the actor painted Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who’s only the third female to ever serve as White House Press Secretary, with a caption calling her faith into question.

“This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!,” wrote Carrey.

By People. Jim Carrey has sketched his official submission for Donald Trump’s presidential portrait.

In his latest piece of political artwork, the Ace Ventura star, 56, depicts the commander-in-chief eating his preferred dessert, two scoops of ice cream, while rubbing an exposed nipple poking out from a blue bathrobe. Trump, drawn with his mouth agape, also looks to be yelling in the sketch.

“Dear Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery @NPG, I know it’s early but I’d like to submit this as the official portrait of our 45th President, Donald J. Trump,” Carrey captioned. “It’s called, ‘You Scream. I Scream. Will We Ever Stop Screaming?’ ”

Dad Crashes Daughter’s Marriage Proposal in Epic Fashion: ‘SAY NO’

/1 Comment/in , /by

When you imagine the day your boyfriend of two years asks you that one special question that will change your life forever, you probably don’t envision your dad in the distance holding a sign that reads, “SAY NO.”

But this is exactly what happened to Nevada woman Allison Barron.

Her father Jake Barron crashed her marriage proposal from boyfriend Levi Bliss on Saturday in epic fashion. As Bliss was down on one knee and asking her to be his, Allison caught a glimpse of her father standing atop a nearby hill with the hilarious sign. Allison said she immediately burst into laughter, as did Levi.

Though Mr. Barron is close to Levi and approved of the young man for his daughter, as disclosed to BuzzFeed News by Allison, his humorous stunt captures what I’d imagine every father might be feeling on some level the day his daughter gets engaged. Thus, the image was widely relatable and instantly went viral.

I said YES! 💍 Future Mrs. Bliss ❤️

A post shared by Allison Barron (@ab_13) on

“This is really just my dad’s personality,” Allison assured BuzzFeed. “We have a very close family and so he’s made little jokes like this before.” (Read more from “Dad Crashes Daughter’s Marriage Proposal in Epic Fashion: ‘SAY NO'” HERE)

High School Student Organizes First Pride Celebration in Mike Pence’s Hometown

By Huffington Post. A high school senior is organizing the first LGBTQ Pride festival in downtown Columbus, Indiana, the hometown of Vice President Mike Pence.

“I am organizing Columbus Pride Festival because I feel it is important for members of the LGBTQ community to know that Columbus is a welcoming and diverse community,” Erin Bailey, a senior at Columbus Signature Academy-New Tech, told HuffPost. “Even though Mike Pence is openly anti-gay, that doesn’t mean that all of us in his hometown are.”

The 18-year-old is planning the April 14 event as a part of a school project she began last year.

Samantha Aulick, a Columbus resident who is also helping Bailey organize the event, said her wife has lived in Columbus for more than 40 years and has never participated in a Pride event there. “We live in a conservative community that may actually be the most liberal in Indiana,” said Aulick, who operates the only LGBT Business Enterprise in their community, Artisan Foodworks. “But it is still Indiana and what created Mike Pence.” (Read more from “High School Student Organizes First Pride Celebration in Mike Pence’s Hometown” HERE)

Did Americans Love Roseanne’s Pro-Trump Revival? Here’s What the Ratings Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. . .After nearly three decades since its last show, Roseanne opened to an incredible 18.1 million audience average, and 5.1 rating in the key demographic of adults aged 18 to 49.

The Hollywood Reporter said the ratings made it the “highest-rated regularly scheduled scripted show of the last few seasons.”

Roseanne Barr tweeted a grateful message to her fans on Wednesday.

“I am so greatful to the fans of the Roseanne show for giving it a good Premiere rating. You are all wonderful-here is to making America laugh & talk again! LOVE U” she tweeted . . .

Pundits noted that the new show featured the main character with very pro-Trump leanings. Some attributed the high ratings at least in part to the support of the president by the title character. (Read more from “Did Americans Love Roseanne’s Pro-Trump Revival? Here’s What the Ratings Say” HERE)

TV Ratings: ‘Roseanne’ Revival Skyrockets With Stunning Premiere

By The Hollywood Reporter. The ABC comedy returns nearly three decades after its original premiere, averaging a whopping 18.1 million and an unbelievable 5.1 rating in the key demo.

Roseanne returned Tuesday after two decades. The ABC sitcom kicked off its revived run with especially promising returns — dominating every other Big Four telecast of the night.

The first two episodes of Roseanne, a full hour at the top of the ABC lineup, won the night by both adults 18-49 and total viewers. The show averaged a 5.1 rating in the key demo and 18.1 million viewers, rising from the first half hour to the next. The first number alone is enough to make Roseanne the highest-rated regularly scheduled scripted show of the last few seasons, since Empire at its peak, as well as the highest-rated sitcom broadcast in over three years.

That’s an incredibly strong start for the sitcom, thus far only committed to nine episodes. The easiest comparison is another revival, NBC’s Will & Grace. The other reboot, one that helped jump-start Roseanne and the current trend, premiered with a 3.0 rating in the key demo and just over 10 million viewers at the start of the season.

ABC made a pretty bold move by having Roseanne go it alone at 8 p.m., without any lead-in. The hour has belonged to sitcoms The Middle and Fresh Off the Boat for the season up until now. Roseanne’s brief run picks up next Tuesday, airing single episodes at 8 p.m. for another seven weeks. (Read more from “TV Ratings: ‘Roseanne’ Revival Skyrockets With Stunning Premiere” HERE)

Parkland Student David Hogg Can’t Get Into Any Colleges

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Tuesday during an interview with TMZ’s Harvey Levin, gun control proponent and Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg said it was “annoying” he has been rejected by all the University of California campuses that he’d submitted college admissions applications for, but he will continue to “change the world.”

TMZ reported Hogg submitted applications to UCLA, UCSD, UCSB and UC Irvine.

Hogg said, “It’s not been too great for me and some of the other members in the movement, like Ryan Deitsch. We got rejected from UCLA, I got rejected from UCLA and UCSD, so it’s been kind of annoying having to deal with that, and everything else that’s been going on, but at this point, it’s, you know, we’re changing the world. We’re too busy. Right now it’s too hard to focus on that.” (Read more from “Parkland Student David Hogg Can’t Get Into Any Colleges” HERE)

Rejected by 4 Colleges ‘and Whines About It’: A Fox News Host Mocked a Parkland School Shooting Survivor — Now He’s Going After Her Advertisers

By Business Insider. David Hogg, a Parkland school shooting survivor who has become one of the prominent voices for gun control, is now going after a conservative talk-show host’s advertisers after she made light of his college-rejection letters.

Laura Ingraham, a Fox News opinion host, tweeted a link to a news article about Hogg having received rejection letters from several University of California schools.

“David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied,” the article’s headline read, “and whines about it,” Ingraham added.

That tweet went out to Ingraham’s 2.2 million Twitter followers Wednesday morning and made its way back to Hogg nearly 10 hours later: “Soooo @IngrahamAngle what are your biggest advertisers … Asking for a friend,” Hogg wrote, with the hashtag, “BoycottingIngramAdverts.”

Later, he tweeted a list of companies and urged his followers to contact them. It was not immediately clear which, if any, of the companies are current Ingraham advertisers. The boycott resembles campaigns that targeted Fox opinion hosts Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly, who was forced off the network amid a sexual-harassment scandal last year.

Gender Equity LOL: Man Legally Changes Gender So He Can Retire 5 Years Earlier

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. An Argentinian man who spent decades slaving away as a tax worker is getting to enjoy some of that “gender equity” everybody’s been calling for. All he had to do was sign a few forms and change one little letter to start enjoying retired life a few years earlier — as a “woman.”

What sounded like an Argentinian version of the Bruce-to-Caitlyn Jenner story — but without the Olympic gold, the Kardashians, and a “Woman of the Year” award — has turned out to be a rather brilliant early retirement plan by a humble tax worker, Sergio Lazarovich, that just wants some fairness, and his pension.

Last June, Sergio officially became Sergia, and Sergia officially became eligible to start drawing her state pension. But a member of Sergia’s family has now blown the lid off the gender identity-based gender equity move, though what actions the state might take remain to be seen.

So how’d Sergio pull it off? Well, it was remarkably easy, as the Daily Mail explains: ​”Argentinian law allows any person to change their gender on identity documents to match their self-perception, without having to provide evidence of hormone treatment or gender reassignment surgery.”

In other words, Argentina’s gender identity laws are about as strict as Target’s bathroom policies. (Read more from “Gender Equity LOL: Man Legally Changes Gender So He Can Retire 5 Years Earlier” HERE)

Man Legally Changes His Gender to Identify as a Woman ‘So He Can Retire Five Years Earlier’ in Argentina

By Daily Mail. Sergia Lazarovich, 60, a government worker from the northern province of Salta, applied to change her gender in June last year, having lived for decades as Sergio.

The change was approved recently but a relative has since come forward to accuse Sergia of lying and trying to cheat the pension system.

Argentinian law allows any person to change their gender on identity documents to match their self-perception, without having to provide evidence of hormone treatment or gender reassignment surgery.

The law also allow women to retire on a state pension aged 60, whereas men have to wait until age 65.

The relative told Informate Salta: ‘His conviction is that it is unfair that, because he is a man, he has to work five years more than a woman. (Read more from “Man Legally Changes His Gender to Identify as a Woman ‘So He Can Retire Five Years Earlier’ in Argentina” HERE)
