USA - The latest episode of Gun Grab America, which stems from the shooting massacre that took place on St Valentine’s Day 2018 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, has triggered what the mainstream media is now referring to as a student-led “movement” demanding more gun control in order to “save the lives of the children.” But where are these same brainwashed leftists in speaking out for the protection of the more than 60 million unborn American babies who have been murdered in the womb since abortion was first legalized back in 1973?

USA - Talk of “sex change” is a scientific misnomer, argues philosopher Ryan T Anderson in a recent article, since it is impossible to change someone’s sex by bombarding them with hormones or performing cosmetic surgery on them. A person can pretend to be a member of the opposite sex, Dr Anderson notes, but it will never be more than play-acting since one’s biological sex is a physical reality outside the individual’s control.
RUSSIA - This season's grain production in Russia has beaten last year's bumper crop and the record harvest set by the USSR in 1978, according to new data revealed by the statistics agency Rosstat. Russia has harvested around 135,393 million tons of grain, including 85.9 million tons of wheat, during the current growing season. This is a million tons more than the previous record. Russia’s agriculture ministry revised its projections for exports, with 50 million tons of grain now expected to be shipped abroad. A bumper wheat harvest cropped by Russian farmers in the current agricultural season is projected to push the US from the position of the world’s top grain exporter. The exportation of foodstuffs from Russia totaled $20.7 billion in 2017.
USA - Did you know that there was a shocking study published in the Public Library of Science Journal, that found up to 72%” of scientists admitted their colleagues were engaged in “questionable research practices,” and that just over 14% of them were engaged in outright “falsification”?

USA - Donald Trump is hardly the first American president to slap unilateral tariffs on imports. Every inhabitant of the Oval Office since Jimmy Carter has imposed some kind of protectionist curbs on trade, often on steel. Nor will Mr Trump’s vow to put 25% tariffs on steel and 10% on aluminium by themselves wreck the economy: they account for 2% of last year’s $2.4 trillion of goods imports, or 0.2% of GDP.

USA - CNN admitted in a report on March 6, 2018, that a Georgia town requiring gun ownership has only seen one murder in six years and maintains a violent crime rate of less than two percent. CNN reports that Kennesaw, Georgia, adopted an ordinance in 1982 requiring the head of every household to “maintain a firearm.” CNN suggested the law requiring gun ownership is not actually enforced, but it simultaneously reported that the town of Kennesaw has only witnessed one murder in the past six years. In other words, just the common knowledge that guns are in the hands of law-abiding citizens appears to restrain the actions of criminals. Kennesaw Police Department Lieutenant Craig Graydon said, “It was meant to be kind of a crime deterrent.”
