Fox News Hires Ex-Cuomo Aide Who Admitted To Covering Up Nursing Home Deaths

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Fox News hired a former top aide to Andrew Cuomo who admitted to covering up New York State’s nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Melissa DeRosa will join Fox as a contributor and co-host of a new podcast, “The Girls,” which will debut Oct. 1, Fox News Media said in a press release Monday. DeRosa served in Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration until resigning in August 2021 amid allegations that the governor “sexually harassed” government employees.

Earlier that year, DeRosa admitted on a conference call with Democratic lawmakers that the Cuomo administration covered up the number because they feared the scandal would be politicized by then-President Donald Trump, who could use the Department of Justice to launch a probe.

“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said, according to the New York Post. “He starts going after [then-New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”

“We were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation,” DeRosa said.

‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq laid out a vision for an Islamic America during a livestreamed event at the Sufaraa Center in McKinney, Texas, last week. Authentic Ilm Mission, which hosted the event, has plans for a 40,000-square-foot facility near Plano, Texas, and used the livestream featuring Farooq to fundraise for the multipurpose school and Islamic community center.

“We love this country,” Farooq said. “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country, ’cause we think that’s the best thing. And we’re not going to be ashamed of that.”

He went on to argue that Muslims are fully within their constitutional rights to adhere to Sharia law. “We’re Muslims. That’s our identity, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The Constitution of this country protects that. That’s our right to believe in the Sharia. Yes, I said it. That’s our right.”

“There’s communists that believe in communism and live in America,” Farooq continued. “The current mayor of New York is a socialist. Bernie Sanders is open socialist. … Our president — I don’t know what the, what he is actually. I don’t think he knows what he is. … But he has that right according to the Constitution. … There are Satanists. There’s a church of Satan. I’ve debated them.”

Farooq works with the One Message Foundation and is a viral social media influencer. His Instagram and YouTube pages boast 430,000 and 1.4 million followers, respectively. The One Message Foundation’s homepage says it, together with other groups, converted nearly 1,500 individuals to Islam during the World Cup. Farooq’s social media videos feature his commentary speaking of polygamy as legitimate and speculating that President Donald Trump may be an evil spirit.

A dedicated dad of two was knocked to the ground and killed when a bicyclist rammed into him during his morning walk to work in Central Park last week, his family and police said.

Richie O’Brien, 41, strolled through the iconic green space on the way to his steamfitter job during the dawn hours of Sept. 23, when the cyclist pedaling north on the park’s East Drive near East 84th Street struck him, according to the NYPD and a fundraiser launched by his loved ones.

The impact threw O’Brien to the ground and caused severe head trauma, for which medics rushed him to Weill Cornell Medical Center. He succumbed to his injuries on Sunday, his family said.

“Although our hearts are broken by this unimaginable loss, Richie’s legacy will live on,” his family posted on a GoFundMe page.

Kin described O’Brien as “a proud Local 638 Steamfitter who went to work every day to provide for his family and give his wife, Ronni, and their two daughters, Kylie and Mia, the life they deserve.”

Kylie and Mia are 12 and 8 years old, respectively. (Read more from “Dedicated Dad of 2 Killed by Central Park Bicyclist During Walk to Work” HERE)

One Tiny Word on the Label Reveals what the FDA Won’t Let Brands Hide

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Peanut butter is a spread by definition, but when the word “spread” appears on a peanut butter jar label, it’s most likely satisfying a legal requirement rather than acting as a simple descriptor.

Skippy, a well-known name in the peanut butter world, must label its Natural Peanut Butter Spread as such because it contains palm oil.

Regulations set by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) state that, in order to be classified as peanut butter, a product must contain at least 90% peanuts — otherwise, the word “spread” needs to be included on the label.

The Skippy website acknowledges this FDA regulation, saying: “Natural Peanut Butter Spreads can include additional ingredients like palm oil or other oils, which are not hydrogenated.”

“These spreads may still contain at least 90% peanuts but include other ingredients that place them outside the standard definition of ‘peanut butter,'” the website notes. (Read more from “One Tiny Word on the Label Reveals what the FDA Won’t Let Brands Hide” HERE)

Mojtaba Khamenei had to be ‘Pulled from the Rubble’ of Hospital after US Strikes Nearly Killed Him a Second Time: Report

/5 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Mojtaba Khamenei was rushed to a Tehran hospital after the February strikes targeting his father nearly killed him, only to be “pulled from the rubble” again after the United States and Israel bombed the medical center, an Iranian cleric revealed in an interview with Qatari television this week.

After obliterating Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Tehran compound — which killed the 86-year-old supreme leader and dozens of his top leaders — the allies also reportedly bombed three different hospitals in Tehran on Feb. 28 to launch the war.

The younger Khamenei, 56, was pulled from underneath the rubble of one of the hospitals, before going vanishing to an unknown location — and has not been seen in public or his voice heard since.

“Even after he had been wounded and taken to the hospital, three hospitals in Tehran were bombed,” Mohsen Heydari, a member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, told Qatari television network Al Araby Thursday.

“Mojtaba Khamenei was in the third hospital and was pulled from the rubble.” (Read more from “Mojtaba Khamenei had to be ‘Pulled from the Rubble’ of Hospital after US Strikes Nearly Killed Him a Second Time: Report” HERE)

The Surprising Way Girls and Boys Behave Differently just Hours After Birth

/1 Comment/in , , /by

It’s an age-old question: How much of the differences between the way men and women behave are a result of nature, and how much is nurture?

A new study could shed more light on this. It shows different behavior between newborn boys and girls could appear just hours after birth.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge believe forces at work before birth — like sex hormone levels, might play a role, or even that the changes are a result of a slightly faster cognitive development in newborn girls.

They showed newborns — only about 33 hours old — two videos. One was a human face, the other, an animated Newton’s cradle (swinging metallic spheres).

Both sexes spent slightly longer looking at the face than at the Newton’s cradle. But researchers found that girls spent proportionally more of their looking time on the face than boys did. (Read more from “The Surprising Way Girls and Boys Behave Differently just Hours After Birth” HERE)

Noah’s Ark’s Resting Place ‘100% Confirmed’? New Scans Detect Possible Tunnels Underground

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Hindustan Times. The mystery surrounding a boat-shaped formation in Turkey, which some researchers believe could be the remains of Noah’s Ark, has taken a new turn after fresh underground scans reportedly detected possible tunnels, chambers and multiple structural layers.

The findings come from an international team investigating the Durupınar Formation near Mount Ararat. The Daily Mail, which reported the findings exclusively, said researchers now claim they have “100 percent confirmed” that the formation is a “man-made object”.

However, the findings have not established that the site is the biblical Ark. Researchers say the radar readings and material recovered through drilling require further physical and scientific testing.

According to the Bible, Noah’s Ark saved humanity and every kind of animal from a catastrophic flood. Some biblical chronologies place the flood more than 4,300 years ago.

The latest radar surveys reportedly detected structural layers, straight lines, right-angle intersections and large cavity-like spaces at different depths. (Read more from “Noah’s Ark’s Resting Place ‘100% Confirmed’? New Scans Detect Possible Tunnels Underground” HERE)

Noah’s Ark Hunters Share Video Update From Inside Mysterious Structure

By Newsweek. A team searching for the remains of Noah’s Ark shared a video from inside a 515-foot boat-shaped formation in Turkey that they believe could contain the biblical ship’s remains. On X, the team referred to the video as the first look at “footage from inside Noah’s Ark.”

The international group of archaeologists, geologists and soil scientists announced on Wednesday that they had started collecting core samples from the Durupınar Formation, which has attracted people hoping to find Noah’s Ark since its outline was identified in 1959.

Preliminary radar data do not show “a simple homogeneous solid-rock signature,” said Andrew Jones, founder of Noah’s Ark Scans. His U.S.-based group is working with Bakhtar Research and Engineering LLC, whose scientist, Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar, led the radar survey. The wider investigation is directed by archaeologist Cenker Atila of Sivas Cumhuriyet University.

Noah’s Ark Scans later posted footage from its Gopher drone, an “underground robot built to go where a person cannot” equipped with a high-resolution camera. (Read more from “Noah’s Ark Hunters Share Video Update From Inside Mysterious Structure” HERE)

Tim Tebow ‘Pausing’ Relationship with Christian Group after Bombshell Expose

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tim Tebow said he’s “pausing” his relationship with Life Surge after scam allegations emerged earlier this week.

The faith-based conference company was accused of using predatory sales tactics to push attendees into expensive financial and investment programs, according to a joint investigation by “Pablo Torre Finds Out” and Mother Jones.

Tebow, 39, said he was “caught off guard” by the report when speaking to the Gainesville Sun on Friday.

“I think the allegations are extremely, extremely serious, and it’s something that we take very seriously,” Tebow said. “We’re having our team do an investigation, but also pausing our relationship so we can learn more about the facts to be able to understand more.”

When asked whether he knew about the questionable practices before the report came out, Tebow didn’t offer much clarity. (Read more from “Tim Tebow ‘Pausing’ Relationship with Christian Group after Bombshell Expose” HERE)

‘Absolute Hate’ Farm Attack Victim Recounts Experience With Anti-White Ravagers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A South African woman and her husband were attacked in a hate-fueled home invasion; she spoke exclusively to the Daily Caller about the harrowing experience and the steps the Trump administration is taking to end the violence.

The Afrikaner, Amanda Platt, shared her story with the Daily Caller Thursday, claiming that her attackers were granted “permission” by her government through the incitement of violence towards the country’s white minority.

In August 2023, Amanda and her husband, Tim, were asleep when several men broke into their home. Amanda immediately knew that if the attackers succeeded in capturing her, she could be tortured for hours, maybe days, before being left for dead on the land where her ancestors have lived since the 1600s.

“So you either got to be brave or die at the hands of these brutal, you know, be brutally murdered. That’s just what it is,” Amanda told the Caller Thursday, “and for us it’s like normal.”

Amanda and Tim fought to defend their home for an hour before they were finally overwhelmed as the first intruder made it through the door, crowbar in hand.
