Drugs Taken by Millions in U.S. Can Cause ‘Deviant’ Sexual Behavior Including Pedophilia — But Patients Aren’t Warned by Doctors

/10 Comments/in , , /by

A class of drugs commonly used to treat movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease and restless leg syndrome is pushing people into risky sexual behavior.

Patients taking dopamine agonists say the drugs have triggered uncontrollable impulses, including flashing, sex addiction and even pedophilia — leaving them struggling with feelings of shame and confusion.

Reports reviewed by the BBC suggest drugmaker GSK has known about the risk of so-called “deviant” sexual behavior since 2003, yet patients claim their doctors continue to fail to warn them about these potentially devastating side effects.

Dopamine agonists mimic dopamine, a key brain chemical that controls movement and is activated by pleasure. However, these drugs can overstimulate feelings of pleasure while dulling the brain’s ability to recognize the consequences of our actions.

This can lead to impulse control disorders, with studies showing 13% to 24% of Parkinson’s patients on dopamine agonists develop them. While a warning about these risky behaviors is listed alongside common side effects like nausea and insomnia, research suggests they often go unnoticed or undiagnosed.

In the US, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends the drugs only be used for short-term treatment, such as end-of-life care. (Read more from “Drugs Taken by Millions in U.S. Can Cause ‘Deviant’ Sexual Behavior Including Pedophilia — But Patients Aren’t Warned by Doctors” HERE)

Michelle Obama Just Reappeared… and This Was Not the Comeback She Hoped For

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Michelle Obama has been off the radar for a while. She ditched Barry at the Carter funeral, skipped Trump’s inauguration, and fueled even more divorce rumors in the process. People wondered where she disappeared to—turns out, she was busy making a podcast with her brother—the brother most of us didn’t even know existed, because Michelle keeps her personal life locked up tighter than Fort Knox.

But her big return to the spotlight didn’t go as planned. Instead of a smash hit, her podcast flopped—hard. After hours on YouTube, it barely scraped together 20K views.

Looks like Michelle lost her mojo.

Jesse Watters covered the podcast flop on his highly rated show—something Michelle Obama knows nothing about. He also pointed out her constant negativity and how she never misses a chance to take a shot at her husband. Let’s be honest—Michelle gives off some serious angry, dominant, naggy wife vibes.

Even the left-leaning Daily Beast had to admit—Michelle Obama and her brother just aren’t pulling in the views. They also quoted Fox News’ Rachel Campos-Duffy, who made a great point—this kind of podcast might have worked fifteen years ago, but not today.

Three Glasses of This Drink a Day Can Prevent Dementia — It Also Fights Heart Disease and Cancer

/2 Comments/in , , /by

An estimated 6.7 million people in the US are living with Alzheimer’s dementia today, and this number could increase to 13.8 million by 2060, according to the NIH.

While there are many lifestyle choices that could lower your risk of dementia — including maintaining a good diet, exercising regularly, socializing and keeping your mind stimulated — recent research suggests there’s one humble beverage that can slash your risk with just a few sips.

A study out of Japan has found that older adults who regularly consume green tea have fewer cerebral white matter lesions, a key indicator of cognitive decline and dementia.

Researchers asked almost 9,000 adults to fill out a questionnaire about their coffee and tea-drinking habits and used brain scans to analyze their data.

While they did not find any evidence that coffee intake might prevent cognitive decline, their results did lead them to conclude that drinking green tea — especially three or more glasses a day — may help prevent dementia.

The findings align with previous studies that have shown green tea consumption can protect you from cognitive decline.

A 2022 meta-analysis indicates your risk of dementia decreases by 6% for every cup of green tea you consume. (Read more from “Three Glasses of This Drink a Day Can Prevent Dementia — It Also Fights Heart Disease and Cancer” HERE)

New Evidence Supports Noah’s Ark as Boat-Shaped Formation, Dates Back to Biblical Floods

/29 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. . . .Researchers have found that a boat-shaped mound — long believed by the faithful to be Noah’s Ark — was most likely submerged under water during a devastating flood some 5,000 years ago, The Jerusalem Post reported.

The international team of experts has been working together since 2021 to study the Durupinar Formation, which they believe could be the site of a massive preserved vessel.

The 538-foot geological structure, composed of limonite — an ore of iron — is located approximately 20 miles south of Mount Ararat’s summit, in Turkey near the Iranian border in the Doğubayazıt district of Ağrı.

This formation has interested experts for decades due to its ship-like shape and dimensions, similar to the biblical description of Noah’s Ark and Mount Ararat’s mention in religious texts.

According to the Bible, the dimensions of the vessel were “a length of three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits,” mirroring those of the Durupinar formation, “and the ark rested … upon the mountains of Ararat.” (Read more from “New Evidence Supports Noah’s Ark as Boat-Shaped Formation Dates Back to Biblical Floods” HERE)

Astonishing New Marine Evidence Found at “Noah’s Ark” Site, Dates to Bible’s Biblical Floods

By Arezki Amiri. [A] team analyzing soil and rock samples from the Durupinar formation, a 538-foot geological structure near the Turkey-Iran border, has found traces of marine deposits, clay-like materials, and even remnants of seafood, sparking renewed debate about the biblical flood.

For decades, speculation has surrounded the Durupinar site, with some researchers arguing that its shape and dimensions match those described in biblical texts. But it wasn’t until recently that new scientific findings emerged. The samples collected from the site were sent to a laboratory in Istanbul, where tests revealed the presence of organic materials consistent with an ancient water-covered environment.

Among the most astonishing discoveries? Mollusc remains, indicating that this region—now a mountainous landscape—may have once been submerged. If Noah’s Ark truly existed, even the smallest creatures would have had a spot aboard, making the discovery of molluscs a particularly intriguing detail.

One of the biggest challenges in proving Noah’s Ark’s existence is finding scientific evidence that aligns with historical records. According to Genesis, the Great Flood occurred around 3300 BC.

The latest analysis of the materials found at the Durupinar formation suggests they date back between 3500 and 5000 years, placing them within the Chalcolithic period, an era in which ancient civilizations were beginning to develop advanced tools and settlements.

Scary NASA Study Reveals How Major Coastal Cities Are Rapidly Sinking Into the Sea

/3 Comments/in , , /by

. . .An alarming new study by NASA has found that parts of California, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, are sinking into the ocean at a shocking rate, exacerbating the effects of sea level rise.

A study detailing this literal downward trend was published earlier this year in the journal Science Advances.

“In many parts of the world, like the reclaimed ground beneath San Francisco, the land is moving down faster than the sea itself is going up,” the study’s head author Marin Govorcin, who specializes in remote sensing at NASA’s Propulsion Laboratory, warned in a statement.

Accounting for this descent, sea levels — which are on the rise due to climate change — could creep up more than twice as much as previously forecast in Los Angeles and San Francisco in 25 years.

This could bode ominous for Golden State, which is the most populous in the US with nearly 40 million people — 68% of whom live on the coastline.

The study was devised to investigate which areas were most susceptible to ascending seas. (Read more from “Scary NASA Study Reveals How Major Coastal Cities Are Rapidly Sinking Into the Sea” HERE)

Is Trump Committing an Unforced Error Here?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald J. Trump has had enough with one Republican congressman: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is someone the president wants jettisoned from Congress. Massie has usually been the lone rebel on a host of GOP-led legislation. Some of his reasons are not out of line; he’s sticking with his principles. Yet, Massie’s opposition to the six-month continuing resolution Trump and the GOP leadership want passed to prevent a government shutdown and not disrupt the budget reconciliation process, deporting illegal aliens, rebuilding our military, and the work done by the Department of Government Efficiency led to the president threatening the Kentucky Republican with a primary threat:

Thank you to the House Freedom Caucus for just delivering a big blow to the Radical Left Democrats and their desire to raise Taxes and SHUT OUR COUNTRY DOWN! They hate America and all it stands for. That’s why they allowed MILLIONS of Criminals to invade our Nation. Sometimes it takes great courage to do the right thing. Congressman Thomas Massie, of beautiful Kentucky, is an automatic “NO” vote on just about everything, despite the fact that he has always voted for Continuing Resolutions in the past. HE SHOULD BE PRIMARIED, and I will lead the charge against him. He’s just another GRANDSTANDER, who’s too much trouble, and not worth the fight. He reminds me of Liz Chaney before her historic, record breaking fall (loss!). The people of Kentucky won’t stand for it, just watch. DO I HAVE ANY TAKERS??? Anyway, thank you again to the House Freedom Caucus for your very important vote. We need to buy some time in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. Unite and Win!!!

Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Spewed This Totally Bonkers Anti-Trump Line

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As Sarah wrote yesterday, Mark Carney is the new leader of Canada’s Labour Party and is insane. But before the leadership election, Chrystia Freeland, the former deputy prime minister, ran for the position, where she said that British nukes could protect Canada from Donald Trump (via The Telegraph):

Canada should seek closer ties with Britain because its nuclear weapons can help protect the country against Donald Trump, a Liberal party leader running to replace Justin Trudeau has said.

Chrystia Freeland, the former deputy prime minister under Mr Trudeau, said that US president is “clearly threatening our sovereignty” with his campaign to absorb Canada as the 51st state of America.

In order to “guarantee our security”, Ms Freeland said she would build closer security partnerships with European Nato allies and “I would be sure that France and Britain were there, who possess nuclear weapons”.

“I would be working urgently with those partners to build a closer security relationship… in a time when the United States can be a threat,” said the ex-foreign minister and finance minister at the final Liberal leadership debate…

Dem Senator Ditches Wife for CEO of Democrat Media Operation

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) has become more vocal, exposing voters to his insufferable tendencies. Elitism thy name is Murphy. The guy is a left-wing blowhard who doesn’t do much but whine. If it’s not that, it’s leading attacks against the Second Amendment. You don’t need to do much to be elected from Connecticut as a Democrat. Yet, Mr. Murphy might be another example of the Democrat-media complex at work literally.

He recently left his wife and shacked up with the CEO of a pro-Democrat news operation. Both parties declined to comment for Semafor:

One of the Democratic Party’s most notable digital media leaders is dating one of the party’s most media-friendly lawmakers, according to a Washington Democrat and a pointed Instagram post.

Tara McGowan, the CEO of the network of digital media sites known as Courier Newsroom, has been linked to Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, who recently separated from his wife. McGowan posted a selfie of the duo last week on her private Instagram, captioned “not postponing joy,” which was shared with Semafor.

In recent months, Murphy has become one of the most visible Democratic lawmakers, speaking out against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk in television and digital media interviews and posting his own vertical videos across social media — taking a page out of a media playbook that McGowan and other Democratic digital strategists have pushed since Trump’s victory in November.

‘God Makes No Mistakes’: Major Decision for Teacher Fired for Not Using Student’s Trans Pronouns

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Wisconsin school district agreed to pay out $20,000 to a teacher who was terminated for refusing to use preferred names and pronouns for transgender students.

Jordan Cernek, an English teacher, sued the Argyle School District in July 2024 after his contract was not renewed, alleging the district violated his right to free exercise of his religion and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“Mr. Cernek has a sincerely held religious belief that God makes no mistakes when it comes to sex and gender and that calling a transgender student by a name or pronouns at odds with their biological sex would cause Mr. Cernek to affirm that God made a mistake in creating a transgender person as a male or a female,” the lawsuit filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty stated. “In Mr. Cernek’s religious view, affirming a transgender person’s identity through the use of preferred names and pronouns would be speaking a falsehood and violate his religious beliefs.”

The case was dismissed in February after parties reached the settlement, according to court records. (Read more from “‘God Makes No Mistakes’: Major Decision for Teacher Fired for Not Using Student’s Trans Pronouns” HERE)

Obamas ‘Soft Launching’ a Divorce?

Are the Obamas ‘soft launching’ a divorce?

Rumors the Obamas were headed for a divorce began in December after Michelle Obama skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral and announced she wouldn’t be attending Trump’s inauguration.

It was also recently reported that Barack and Michelle Obama’s largest donors have dropped them amid rumors about their marriage.

Last month Meghan McCain added fuel to the long-swirling speculation surrounding the marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama, claiming that her sources have confirmed the former first couple is living “separate lives.”

“I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce from very reputable people,” McCain revealed on political reporter Tara Palmeri’s podcast, “Somebody’s Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri.”

“I’m not talking about TMZ. I’m not talking about Perez Hilton, although I love him, he’s my friend. I’m talking about serious journalists telling me the divorce rumors are true.” (Read more from “Obamas ‘Soft Launching’ a Divorce?” HERE)
