[NYPOST] A mob of trans rights activists are repeatedly hijacking community education council meetings in Manhattan — and even danced the ''Macarena'' last week to disrupt a meeting and protest those opposed to boys playing girls' sports.
The group of about 100 demonstrators descended on the monthly meeting of the Community Education Council for District, interrupting, heckling and blowing bubbles throughout, with one person rushing the stage and plopping down at the members' dais.
When attendee Jo Vitale spoke on behalf of female athletes during the public comment portion of the meeting, the group stood up and silently — and awkwardly — danced the ''Macarena,'' many out of step with the '90s dance hit.
''I am here to speak up for the female athletes who are intimidated by this nonsense that is occurring behind me, all the dancing and the buffoonery,'' Vitale said as the dancers, many of whom were masked, danced slow-motion in silence.
The group has been protesting at nearly every CEC 2 meeting for the last year, ever since the advisory board passed Resolution 248 calling for the city Department of Education to review its policy that allows students to play on teams according to the gender they identify with.
The demonstrations have gotten increasingly disruptive, with the trans activists, most of whom do not have kids in District 2 public schools, rallying beforehand and bringing doughnuts.
One of the main organizers is trans teacher Alaina Daniels, who runs an after school program for LGBTQ kids called Trans Formative Schools, and is trying to open a ''trans middle school,'' according to her website.
The group held a ''strategy and tactics briefing'' last week and then urged supporters to attend the CEC 2 meeting. ''Wear pink, blue, and/or white!'' it said in an Instagram post, referring to the colors of the trans flag.
''Your physical presence makes the biggest impact,'' it added.
[BBC] A wild road to the highest city in North America
The highway climbs through aspen forest glinting gold in the Sun, rising through zigzag gullies, escarpments and precipices onto a high mountain plain so lonesome it seems to hum with silence. Snowdrifts huddle at the road's verges and on it goes persistently, almost gasping for air, past lonely farms beneath besieging summits.
There are many superlative road trips to take in North America, but if you find yourself on US Route 24, driving through Lake County in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, know you are on an old road to somewhere extraordinary.
Among the places on this storied route is Leadville, with a reputation often chalked up to its elevation. At 3,109m (10,200ft), it's the highest incorporated city in North America. But while the town is always in danger of being dwarfed by the surrounding landscape, the setting also reveals much mythology about Colorado's most lionised subjects: the gold rush and the Wild West.
"So many people, Americans included, are so unfamiliar with our story," said Katie Hild, manager of Leadville's Tourism and Visitor Center, housed today in the original red sandstone American National Bank building. "This is a town that's been shaped by bust and boom – so much has happened here."
But wherever you go in Colorado in winter these days, the subject everyone is obsessed with is not silver dollars, but snowfall — and 11 miles farther along US Route 24, the next chapter in Leadville's untold history is slowly revealed.
Ski Cooper isn't Colorado's most celebrated mountain resort, but where it beats others in the state is it retains the authenticity of a mountain as it used to be. Non-profit and municipality owned, it looks out to Mount Elbert, the state's highest mountain at 4,399m (14,433ft). More than that, the landscape has the emptiness that purists seek away from the surrounding busier towns.
"Cooper is not a resort, but a place to come skiing," said head of operations Patrick Torsell. "We only have three lifts – nothing compared to the mega-resorts – but Leadville locals have a strong relationship with us and our history. It's a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches in the parking lot kind of place."
Likewise, this is a mountain that covers its tracks well. For this is where Colorado's ski culture began.
The story starts with the first mountain unit in US military history, the 10th Mountain Division of World War Two. In summer 1941, its soldiers received extensive training in winter warfare on Cooper Hill, constructing what was then the world's longest draglift. Then, in the winter of 1944-1945, three of its regiments marshalled a series of surprise attacks during a surprise offensive in Italy's Apennine Mountains. It's a melancholy tale: around 1,000 soldiers were killed and 4,000 injured. And yet, their actions were instrumental in Germany's later surrender.
What many don't know is following their return to the Rockies, the 10th's veterans shaped the American ski industry. More than 66 ski resorts were managed or founded by former military personnel, including Aspen, Vail and Arapahoe Basin – and this taps into a broader strain of patriotism among locals today.
At Arapahoe Basin, during the 1953-1954 season, for instance, the unit installed the first Poma lift in the US. Then, in 1957 at Winter Park, they constructed two draglifts said to be the fastest in the world. The division's backcountry cabins, once used for deep-snow combat training, are now open to visitors to book year-round.
But that's not all. Six miles from Leadville in the Pando Valley, the 10th Mountain Division trained at Camp Hale. Sitting between sheer-sided rocky spurs and snow-daubed mountains with the Eagle River winding nearby, it was once a sprawling encampment of 14,000 soldiers, 226 barracks, 100 mess halls, three theatres, a chapel, horse and mule barns and a hospital. Little remains nowadays, but a 10-stop self-guided tour of relics snakes past ammunition bunkers, a guard shack and a field house. To be so rapidly transplanted from pistes to pistols fires the imagination.
The best story at Camp Hale concerns the CIA, which took over the base in the 1950s to train secretive special ops teams. At one time, 170 Tibetans were drafted in for secret operations against the Communist government in China. The unexpected coda is locals were told it was a test site for bombs. Nowadays, with snowshoe, hiking, biking and horse-riding trails, it is a less-assuming and simpler world away from the currents of history.&”
[Regnum] Due to global warming and the melting of polar ice, there is a risk of megatsunamis, in which the height of waves can reach 150 meters. This is reported by New Atlas.
According to scientists from the University of Potsdam, such waves will move at high speed, destroying everything around them. They can be caused by the collapse of large pieces of ice and rocks into the ocean.
According to university staff, it was the melting glaciers that caused the tsunami that hit Dixie Island on the east coast of Greenland in 2023.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, scientists have discovered methane emissions up to 700 m long and 70 m wide in the depths of Antarctica. Methane accumulated in the depths of the sea about 20 thousand years ago as a result of the decomposition of organic matter.
According to geologists, there are 24 gigatons of carbon accumulated in methane hydrates in Antarctica. The gas probably breaks through from the depths of the Earth along faults. Instability of marine sediments can lead to giant landslides on the continental slope and cause a tsunami.

Methane hydrate? Also called methane clathrate. If it all suddenly melted, it'd turn Earth into a Venus hellscape!

It cracks me up when they find megafauna and other things from melting permafrost and go "Look! Proof of Global Warming!!!"
Um... if it was stuck in the permafrost it means that the permafrost was forming at the time and wasn't there before so it isn't like it has never NOT been there.

To defrost the methane clathrate would require the oceans of the planet to warm ...how many degrees? Sorry, Charlie, try something slightly plausible!
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] …dressed up in skirts and make-up then forced to dance for groups of powerful men - before being sexually abused
In the dimly lit rooms of Afghanistan's private gatherings, young boys adorned in makeup and brightly coloured women's clothing are forced to dance for the amusement of powerful men.
But these boys - some as young as ten - are not merely dancers.
They are victims of Bacha Bazi, an ancient practice that often turns them into sex slaves for Afghanistan's elite.
The barbaric tradition, whose name translates to 'boy play', has persisted for centuries, surviving empires, wars, and political upheavals.
Now, while Afghanistan's current Taliban leadership claim to oppose it, Bacha Bazi continues as an open secret.
A 2024 UK government report found that boys remain at high risk of commercial sexual exploitation through Bacha Bazi, with the practice thriving under the same warlords and power brokers who have ruled Afghan society for generations.
Though some boys reportedly volunteer, many are sold into this life by their own impoverished families desperate to get by.
And under the Taliban, more are impoverished and desperate, while foreign aid flows directly into Taliban pockets and coffers. Hopefully shutting down USAID has reduced the flow somewhat, since it hasn’t been helping the target populations anyway.
Others are quite simply abducted, including by police officers - the very people supposed to prevent Bacha Bazi from resurging.
Victims often face further violence upon returning home, and the suspension of international aid to Afghanistan since the Taliban returned in 2021 has left them with little access to support or rehabilitation.
All this in a country where homosexuality attracts the death penalty and pederasty is supposedly punishable by long prison sentences.
So long as the powers-that-be get a cut, all is fine.
The roots of Bacha Bazi stretch back to at least the 13th century and the practice has been widely documented by domestic and foreign intellectuals, historians and politicians visiting the region.
But its most infamous resurgence came during the Mujahideen's war against the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
Afghan commanders who fought in the resistance were notorious for keeping young boys as their personal possessions, treating them as status symbols as well as objects of abuse.
When the Taliban first rose to power in the 1990s, they claimed one of their chief grievances was this 'perversion' among the warlords, and they outlawed the practice.
But after the Taliban was ousted in 2001 amid the US invasion of Afghanistan, the old power structures returned, and so did Bacha Bazi.
The foreign forces operating in Afghanistan were well aware of the heinous practice, but did little to intervene.
During the US occupation, American and British soldiers gave disturbing accounts of scenarios in which men they were ordered to work alongside routinely abused young boys.
One US Marine, Lance Corporal Gregory Buckley Jr., confided to his father that he could hear Afghan police officers raping boys on a military base at night.
'At night we can hear them screaming, but we're not allowed to do anything about it,' Buckley junior was reported as saying by his father.
The Marine was later gunned down by local Afghan forces his unit was tasked with training - one of many so-called 'green on blue' incidents that blighted US and coalition troops in Afghanistan.
Other Western soldiers told how their commanding officers warned them to 'look the other way' and ignore the rampant abuse of children because confronting Afghan allies about the practice could damage diplomatic relations.
The horror of the situation was laid bare when Dan Quinn, a former US Special Forces captain, was relieved of his command and pulled from Afghanistan for attacking an American-backed Afghan militia commander who had kept a boy chained to his bed as a sex slave.
'The reason we were here is because we heard the terrible things the Taliban were doing to people, how they were taking away human rights,' Quinn later said.
'But we were putting people into power who would do things that were worse than the Taliban.'
By 2015, the scale of the problem was undeniable.
A New York Times investigation revealed that child rape by government-affiliated Afghan commanders was so common that it became an open secret among US troops.
The Taliban, meanwhile, exploited Bacha Bazi to their own advantage, infiltrating US-backed Afghan police and military headquarters by sending in boys to entertain their enemies as Trojan Horse 'honey traps'.
These boys, once inside the American-allied Afghan law enforcement compounds, would either poison their abusers, shoot them, carry out suicide bombings - or simply open the gates for Taliban fighters to carry out deadly attacks of their own.
In one 2016 operation in Afghanistan's southern Uruzgan province, this method led to the deaths of dozens of Afghan soldiers and police officers.
Meanwhile, in his harrowing documentary 'The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan', Afghan journalist Najibullah Quraishi exposed the ease with which men acquire these children.
Once young boys are sold by their families or abducted, many are harangued into harems and flogged by pimps and traffickers.
Some boys are kept effectively as personal property, with their owners wary of allowing other men to see the children for fear they would try to steal them away.
Others, however, are traded willingly as a commodity.
One powerful figure in the north of Afghanistan named Dastager, when asked how he selected a boy, responded chillingly: 'He should be attractive, good for dancing. Around 12 or 13, and good-looking.
'I tell their parents I will train them. I'll give the family money and tell them I'll look after him.'
The reality is far worse. That man admitted he had been with more than 2,000 boys, using them until they were no longer useful.
Another individual whose name was given as Mestary said that every military commander had a young companion as part of a sick game.
'I had a boy because every commander had one. There's competition amongst the commanders. Without one, I couldn't compete with the others.'
In 2024, the EU Agency for Asylum claimed: 'Afghan security forces, in particular the Afghan Local Police, reportedly recruited boys specifically to use them for Bacha Bazi in every province of the country.'
With the US departure in 2021 and the Taliban's return to power, one might assume the practice has been stamped out once more.
Officially, it is illegal. In reality, it remains rampant.
Despite the Taliban's public stance against Bacha Bazi, reports indicate that many of its own members continue the practice.
A 2024 US State Department report revealed that Taliban officials had engaged in sexual slavery, including employing child soldiers who were also victims of abuse.
The Taliban's own morality police - the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice - focus almost exclusively on policing women's behaviour, while crimes like Bacha Bazi continue in the shadows.
Many of the same men who were warlords before 2001 - former Mujahideen fighters, tribal leaders, and wealthy elites - still wield influence, even under Taliban rule.
And with Afghanistan now more isolated than ever, there is little external pressure to stop them.
Reports from human rights organisations indicate that boys are still being bought, sold, and raped - sometimes by the very figures who claim to uphold the Taliban's strict moral code.
Once in their captors' hands, the children are forced to wear women's clothing and subjected to systematic sexual abuse.
Photographs and videos that have surfaced online show boys at these gatherings, forced to perform in front of groups of men who later pass them around as objects of pleasure.
Survivors who have escaped speak of beatings, rape, and psychological torment, only to be cast out once they grow facial hair and are no longer considered desirable.
Many turn to prostitution, drug addiction, or suicide, unable to escape the trauma they have endured.
A report by the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) said: 'The victims of bacha bazi suffer from serious psychological trauma as they often get raped.
'Such victims suffer from stress and a sort of distrust, hopelessness and pessimistic feeling. Bacha bazi results in fear among the children and feelings of revenge and hostility develop in their mind.'
In turn, many adolescent victims are said to grow up to have boy lovers of their own, repeating the cycle.
'In the absence of any services to recover or rehabilitate boys who are caught in this horrendous abuse, it's hard to know what happens to these children,' said Charu Lata Hogg, a London-based fellow at Chatham House, told MailOnline.
'We have heard anecdotal reports that many grow up to keep their own bachas, perpetuating the revolving door of abuse.'
Sucking up to the Moslem colonists, of course. But the Tories did nothing about it when they were in charge, so it’s hard to take their current umbrage seriously.
[FoxNews] UK PM's office doesn't explain opposition to bill, says 'of course we do not want people to enter in cousin marriages'
A former British Conservative minister and current MP renewed his push in Parliament last week for legislation that bans first-cousin marriage, prompting opposition from the ruling Labour party, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and a British-Muslim MP.
The Conservative MP Richard Holden said during a parliamentary debate, "A marriage between first cousins carries significant health issues, many of which aren't even knowable until post-birth." He added, "When practiced generation after generation, there is a significant multiplier effect."
Adverse health effects on the children of first cousin marriages have been established in medical research. Holden added that "the real impacts on the openness of our society and women’s rights in our country are significant. After all, there are significant dynamics in sharing the same set of grandparents."
Holden urged Starmer to "think again" about blocking his legislation from moving forward. Starmer responded to Holden, stating "We've taken our position on that Bill, thank you."
The Daily Mail reported that nearly 46% of females from the Pakistani community in Bradford, England had a "common ancestor," according to a 2024 study. A government study showed that the number was at 62% 10 years earlier.
While the prime minister's office did not say why they are against the bill's codification into law, a spokesman for Starmer told Fox News Digital, "Expert advice risks on first-cousin marriages are clear. In terms of legislation and what the government set up in the King’s Speech after the election, so of course we do not want people to enter in cousin marriages."
He continued, "We are focused on making sure every part of the government is focused on delivering on issues that matter to the British public. We set out our legislative priorities in the King’s Speech."
Given the large influx of migrants from the Middle East and North Africa to Scandinavian countries, the BBC reported that Norway has banned cousin marriage while a ban is expected to come into effect in Sweden next year.
The failure to codify a ban on interfamily marriage among first cousins has outraged many prominent conservative voices in the United Kingdom.
Ben Habib, chairman of the Great British Political Action Committee, told Fox News Digital, "Liberalism in the U.K. is out of control. In the pursuit of allowing people to do whatever they like, sanity is being set aside. It matters not whether that which you wish to do is deeply damaging. If you’re a minority, you have a protective blanket put around you and encouraged to continue."
[FoxNews] Prince Frederik of Luxembourg, the son of Prince Robert of Luxembourg and Princess Julie of Nassau, has died at the age of 22.
Prince Robert shared the news in a statement on the website for the POLG Foundation, an organization started by Frederik to help with treatments and a cure for the illness.
Frederik was born with PolG mitochondrial disease, a rare genetic condition.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Tech titan Elon Musk has suggested crippling sanctions on Ukraine's oligarchs is the key to halting the nation's bloody conflict with Russia
Musk, 53, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, called for sanctions targeting Ukraine's wealthiest elite in a post on X Sunday morning.
The stunning intervention was a radical departure from the current strategy focused on punishing Russia for its unprovoked invasion of the country.
'Place sanctions on the top 10 Ukrainian oligarchs, especially the ones with mansions in Monaco, and this will stop immediately. That is the key to the puzzle,' Musk wrote bluntly.
The remark comes at the end of a week of intensive debate in Washington over whether continued US financial and military aid to Kyiv is sustainable as the war drags on with no clear end in sight.
Republican Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) recently argued that the US shouldn't offer 'another penny' to Ukraine - a view echoed by growing segments of the American public weary of the seemingly endless bloodshed and multibillion-dollar aid packages.
Facing a torrent of criticism for his stance, including accusations that he's gone soft on Russian aggression, Musk doubled down on his position, invoking his personal efforts to support Ukraine's defense.
'I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army. Their entire front line would collapse if I turned it off,' Musk fired back at critics accusing him of siding with Moscow.

I don't get it. If the current Rus v Ukr conflict is the first step in Darth Putin's plan to conquer Ukraine, then Europe, Earth, and finally the entire Solar System in order to spread International Interplanetary Communism, why are we not stopping him? And by "we", I mean everybody - Germans, Poles, the rest of Europe, Canada and the United States.
Instead, we are all playing "Let's you and him fight!" by supplying weapons and ammo to the weaker side. Without this support, the game would have already been over due to Ukraine not being able to field a team.
At the start of the war, I believe it was badanov here who correctly describe the conflict as a big Soviet army fighting a smaller Soviet Army. Spoiler Alert: the big army wins. With some plot twist like WWIII or a Trumpeus ex machina, it is inevitable. There simply are not enough Ukrainians.
#7
I really don't understand Trump or Elon on this. Sending Ukraine old equipment we were paying to store and eventually dismantle isn't going to break the bank. The numbers floating around of how many billions it's worth is misleading at best. An Abraham may have cost millions to make in the 80's, but it's just scrap now. Why not let the Ukrainians use it to to fight Russians? It's not like there are any good guys in the fight. Let them have at it for as long as they like.
Also worth noting, the Russians will run out of Soviet hardware in 1.5-2 years. What happens then? I'm willing to find out.
Russia started manufacturing new tanks and things. Whether the quality is as good as what they had before this all started, I couldn’t say, but they aren’t just pulling the Cold War equipment out of the spare parts warehouses anymore.
What should more concern President Putin is that he is burning through Russia’s breeding population, even as the most driven and productive have been escaping abroad. And Russia has been below replacement since the 1980s or the early 1990s. Even with the current drive to seduce the most conservative of Western Europe to move to Russia, that won’t be nearly enough to make up for the multi-decade population shrinkage that has led to the emptying of Siberia and the eastern part of the country.
Russia might well win the current war, but if they can be fought to a standstill in Ukraine, what odds they would do better with what’s left of their military should they try to reach beyond? For all the tough talk in Europe, in their heart of hearts Europe must believe that, too, or they would have already begun frantically rearming and drafting men and women of war-fighting age, as does Israel as a matter of course, instead of waiting until bullied into it by President Trump.
#9
Russia can make between 100-150 new tanks a year. They are losing that many each month. Without the Soviet stock they cannot continue to support operations at anything resembling the current pace.
Agree on Russia's population decline. Which is another reason, IMHO, to bleed them out in Ukraine. Many of the men Russia is losing will not be replaced. Which means that Russia's ability to launch another war may very well disappear forever. At the very least the threat is reduced.
[Breitbart] President Donald Trump vowed to invest billions into Greenland and to “create new jobs” if Greenlanders decide to join the United States, adding that they would be welcomed.
“As I made clear during my Joint Address to Congress, the United States strongly supports the people of Greenland’s right to determine their own future,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “We will continue to KEEP YOU SAFE, as we have since World War II. We are ready to INVEST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to create new jobs and MAKE YOU RICH — And, if you so choose, we welcome you to be part of the Greatest Nation anywhere in the World, the United States of America!”
As Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak reported, during Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress, Trump expressed that the U.S. respects Greenlanders’ “right to determine” their future, while adding that Greenlanders would be welcomed if they join the U.S. Then he added, in an ad-libbed aside: “One way or the other, we’re going to get it.”
In December 2024, Trump announced that Ken Howery would serve as the U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark and expressed that the U.S. taking ownership over Greenland was an “absolute necessity” for national security and freedom worldwide.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Egede responded to Trump’s statement by stating that Greenland is “not for sale” and would “never be for sale,” according to the Guardian.
“Greenland is ours,” Egede said. “We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom.”
Breitbart News’s John Hayward reported in January that Denmark “announced a $2 billion investment in Arctic security” and acknowledged that Trump has been critical “of the region’s vulnerability to Russian aggression.”
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump is offering 80,000 federal health workers a $25,000 incentive to leave their jobs.
As the administration seeks to purge the federal workforce, an ultimatum has been given to employees responsible for researching diseases, inspecting food and administering Medicare and Medicaid.
The workers - employed by Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s Department of Health and Human Services in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - received an email detailing the proposal.
They can begin opting in from Monday and have until 5pm on Friday to agree to the 'voluntary separation offer.'
Trump vowed to reduce the bloated bureaucracy upon his return to the White House, with billionaire Elon Musk hired to weed out wasteful spending as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
In January, almost the entire workforce of federal employees received a deferred resignation offer that came with eight months of pay in an initial DOGE effort to reduce spending.
Thousands of probationary employees have been fired across the board, including at HHS. The layoffs have sparked mass protests and lawsuits from disgruntled workers.
The mass buyout email went out to a 'broad population of HHS employees,' landing in their inboxes days before agency heads are due to offer plans for shrinking their workforces.
HHS is one of the government's costliest federal agencies, with an annual budget of about $1.7 trillion that is mostly spent on health care for millions of people enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid.
It comes just days after Trump assured department heads that staffing decisions ultimately lay with them - not Musk.
But he said if tough decisions that need to be made aren't done so appropriately, Musk is waiting in the wings to swoop in.
'If they can cut, it's better. If they don't cut, then Elon will do the cutting,' Trump said Thursday.
That should be of no concern to RFK Jr., who has already expressed a desire to implement deep cuts to his department.
Last year, he promised to immediately clear out 600 employees at the NIH, the nation's biomedical research arm.
And after he was sworn into the portfolio, he revealed he had 'a list' of people he was wanting to remove from the office.
'I have a list in my head,' Kennedy said of potential firings at the agency.
'If you've been involved in good science, you have got nothing to worry about. If you care about public health, you've got nothing to worry about.
'If you're in there working for the pharmaceutical industry, then I'd say you should move out and work for the pharmaceutical industry.'
The entire incoming class of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) were reportedly told they are no longer needed as part of 1,300 layoffs at the CDC when RFK Jr. took over.
These staff generally investigate disease outbreaks both within the United States and abroad, and are highly educated and sought-after experts with doctorates or masters degrees in their fields.
'This will destroy the EIS, which is one of the absolute crown jewels of global public health,' director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy Michael Osterholm said.
Trump tapped the 70-year-old former Democrat to be the country's top health official with the mandate to 'Make America Healthy Again' after he pulled out of the Presidential race and endorsed the Republican candidate.
But Kennedy was put under the microscope for his past controversial stances on vaccinations, abortion and for promoting conspiracy theories.
He promised Americans would still be able to take as many vaccines as they wanted, but said he wanted to study them and make them safer.
'If people are happy with their vaccines, they ought to be able to get them,' he said.
Kennedy also vowed to preserve American's food choices, even if they were unhealthy.
'That's what I'm saying if you want to eat a Big Mac you ought to,' he said.
He added there were ways to make fast food more healthy, by removing unhealthy additives and offering incentives for fast food companies to use beef tallow fat instead of seed oils.
'We want to do a number of things but not take away choice from people,' he said.
Now change the law that allows pharms pay anyone in government service. It's a blatant conflict of interest. How many have to die because of the jab before you act?

"inspecting food and administering Medicare and Medicaid"
Uhh, no. CDC has no business in any of this.

CDC was already losing credibility long before Covid. They had transformed into a leftist think-tank and were declaring that salt and gun ownership were somehow "diseases" and within their perview.

Inspecting food belongs to the Food & Drug Administration. Don’t Medicare and Medicaid belong to Social Security? Or are they under Health & Human Services?
"Shaka, when the walls fell..."
[Regnum] Archaeologists excavating in the area of the ancient Israeli city of Megiddo (Greek name Armageddon) have found traces of the presence of the Egyptian army, confirming the battle described in the Bible in which the last righteous Judean king Josiah died. This was reported by the newspaper Haaretz.
The main part of Megiddo was excavated in the 1920s, but it was only recently that a building was discovered that contained large quantities of Egyptian pottery shards, which were found to date back to the 7th century BCE.
"When we opened the boxes of finds from the excavations in my lab, I told my students to put Egyptian pottery on the tables, and table after table filled up. The number of Egyptian vessels is double or even triple the number found in the entire Levant during that period," said Dr. Assaf Kleiman of Ben-Gurion University.
These were not the remains of fancy pottery, but of simple pottery. Since it is unlikely that the local population suddenly switched to imported cheap pottery, the scientists assumed that the shards were the result of the many years of Egyptian soldiers in the city. This confirms that the city was conquered by Egypt in ancient times, according to the article published on March 3.
According to the Old Testament, Josiah lived in the 7th century BC. He died at Megiddo (Armageddon), when he went out against the army of Pharaoh Necho II, who was moving through Judea to battle Assyria.
The New Testament also mentions Armageddon as the place where the final battle between the forces of good and evil will take place before the end of time. Armageddon also began to be called the battle itself, and the word also became synonymous with the end of the world.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, archaeologists have previously made a discovery that sheds light on the location of Noah's Ark. Research is underway in the area of the villages of Telceker and Uzengili in the province of Agri in eastern Turkey. There, using ground penetrating radar, they discovered an artificial structure in the form of a ship underground. It was established that human activity in the region took place between 5500 and 3000 BC. This coincides with the supposed time of the Great Flood.
Quaise Energy is planning to drill test holes up to 12.4 miles deep, using a 1-megawatt gyrotron that should zip through the rock in a mere 100 days. At these depths, the temperature will likely be around 932 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to provide a practical source of geothermal energy.

[Regnum] On the morning of March 9, a weak magnetic storm began in the Earth's ionosphere. This was reported by specialists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics SB RAS.
According to the data on the laboratory's website, the Earth was caught in a stream of fast and dense solar wind from another coronal hole on the Sun on the evening of March 8. As a result, at about 06:00 Moscow time on March 9, the level of disturbances in our planet's magnetosphere reached 5 units, i.e. a weak magnetic storm of class G1.
The end of the magnetic storm is predicted by 12:00 Moscow time.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 5, scientists from the Institute of Applied Geophysics (IPG) recorded a powerful M-class flare on the Sun that lasted for nine minutes. It was noted that the solar activity is assessed by scientists as moderate.
Earlier, on February 28, the Sun ejected its largest plasma cloud since the beginning of the year. It occurred on the side opposite to Earth, and therefore did not pose a threat to the planet.
Solar activity can also lead to magnetic storms on Earth, which was last recorded on March 4. The phenomenon was observed for two days.
