USA - A new study of breastmilk in new mothers shows that in each of the 50 samples collected, PFAs (ubiquitous “forever chemicals” that coat umbrellas, raincoats, frying pans, clothing and more) exist in levels 2,000 times higher than what is considered safe in drinking water. Every single baby born in America is under threat.

USA - A few days ago, millions of tons of super-heated gas shot off from the surface of the sun and hurtled 90 million miles toward Earth.The eruption, called a coronal mass ejection, wasn’t particularly powerful on the space-weather scale, but when it hit the Earth’s magnetic field it triggered the strongest geomagnetic storm seen for years. There wasn’t much disruption this time - few people probably even knew it happened - but it served as a reminder the sun has woken from a years-long slumber. While invisible and harmless to anyone on the Earth’s surface, the geomagnetic waves unleashed by solar storms can cripple power grids, jam radio communications, bathe airline crews in dangerous levels of radiation and knock critical satellites off kilter. The sun began a new 11-year cycle last year and as it reaches its peak in 2025 the specter of powerful space weather creating havoc for humans grows, threatening chaos in a world that has become ever more reliant on technology since the last big storms hit 17 years ago.

USA - Activists are denouncing as “dehumanizing” a newly-enacted Tennessee law that requires businesses to post a notice about allowing transgender people to use their bathrooms. Forget tolerance, nothing less than affirmation will do. The law was immediately dubbed “anti-trans” by major media outlets, from the publicly funded NPR to corporate cable channels. Some activists have even called it “segregation.” At first glance, it’s difficult to guess why. Wouldn’t trans individuals want to know which facilities welcome them to use the bathroom of their choosing? Ah, but the legal verbiage includes that horrible phrase “biological sex,” which is simply anathema to the woke.

USA - Humans have always turned to magic when they feel powerless. Having studied the witch-hunts of the 16th and 17th centuries, I find this resurgence both fascinating and a little disturbing. Historically, people turned to magic when things felt uncertain or inexplicable. They were more likely to accuse their neighbours of witchcraft in times when money was tight or disease was rife. And while men could be and were accused of witchcraft, in most places in Europe women made up the vast majority of those who were prosecuted and executed as witches, because women were perceived to be innately weaker and more sinful than men, and so more easily tempted by the Devil.

AUSTRALIA - Sky News host Chris Kenny says highly disturbing footage has revealed ABC journalists and producers “coached” women what to say when they made allegations against actor Craig McLachlan. “The weekend documentary aired some footage from their interviews that gave us a disturbing insight into the intent of that journalism and the coaching the journalists and producers gave to the women making allegations against McLachlan,” Mr Kenny said. Mr Kenny said there was encouragement to use the word “predatory”. “This is a highly disturbing look behind the scenes. Are these journalists asking questions or dictating answers?” Australian actor Craig McLachlan was found not guilty after being charged with seven counts of indecent assault and six counts of common assault by four women while performing in a Melbourne musical in 2014.

USA - San Francisco suffered an epidemic in 2020 that was more deadly than COVID-19. Drug overdoses resulted in more than 700 deaths last year, while the communicable disease declared a global pandemic killed fewer than 300 — and 2021 looks to be even worse. This year’s preliminary tally of 252 accidental overdose deaths from January to April, which is the latest available through the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, suggests San Francisco is on track to surpass 2020 in overdose deaths, which was a record-breaking year itself — 181 people fatally overdosed over the same time period in 2020. Accidental overdose deaths in San Francisco have risen sharply in recent years. The number of deaths in just the first four months of 2021 exceeds 2017’s annual total of 222. The chief medical examiner’s data shows that overdose fatalities in San Francisco began to skyrocket in 2019, when fentanyl entered the city’s drug supply.

USA - Joe Biden is breaking from tradition and will not speak at the Notre Dame Commencement after 4,300 staff and alumni signed a petition demanding that he not be invited. The White House claims that Biden will not be attending due to a “scheduling conflict.” Biden claims to be the second Catholic president, but has faced severe backlash for his stance on abortion that contradicts the church’s teachings. The petition said that Biden should not speak at their commencement nor be given an honorary degree, because they are “dismayed by the pro-abortion and anti-religious liberty agenda of President Joe Biden. He rejects Church teachings on abortion, marriage, sex and gender and is hostile to religious liberty. He embraces the most pro-abortion and anti-religious liberty public policy program in history. The case against honoring him is immeasurably stronger than it was against honoring President Obama, an action that alienated countless Catholics and brought upon Notre Dame the harsh criticism of 83 cardinals, archbishops and bishops,” the petition stated.

USA - Senator Ted Cruz (Republican for Texas) is facing new criticism amid some comments that he made on Twitter recently. It started after Cruz shared a tweet that compared recruiting videos from the Russian army to that of the US army. The video is absolutely sickening to watch as the US Army has bowed to the woke left in a video that appears to show just how weak the Biden regime is committed to making our army. The woke mafia started into Cruz soon after the tweet. They accused Cruz of attacking the military and disrespecting them. But it didn’t stop there. Cruz then responded to their attacks with another tweet that stirred controversy. In the response, he said that he loved watching the left losing their minds over his tweet… this recruiting video does no justice for our military. It shows that the Biden regime appears more focused on fighting with love and flowers than actually fighting for American freedom.

USA - Schools across the United States are 'weaponizing' their curriculums to 'indoctrinate' young children to 'turn them into activists', a former Virginia school board member warned on Thursday. Elizabeth Schultz, who served on the school board of Fairfax County, said that the pandemic, and its subsequent home schooling, had lifted the lid on what was going on in classrooms. 'The pandemic has revealed that our education system is being weaponized by school boards — school boards like Fairfax county that is certainly a bellwether district for what's happening in this country … are taking this time not to get our children back in school and learning in the classroom, but weaponizing their time and using taxpayer money to embed things like critical race theory by outsourcing this to consultants from New York City and beyond.' Critical race theory is a reassessment of racial inequalities in the United States, which critics say emphasizes racial differences, and brainwashes white children into feeling guilty about the color of their skin.

USA - Americans are returning to restaurants, bars and other dining places as Covid-19 restrictions come down, adding new strains in food supply chains. Suppliers and logistics providers say distributors are facing shortages of everyday products like chicken parts, as well as difficulty in finding workers and surging transportation costs as companies effectively try to reverse the big changes in food services that came as coronavirus lockdowns spread across the US last year. “Over the last six weeks, we have seen the market come roaring back faster than anybody would have anticipated,” said Mark Allen, chief executive of the International Foodservice Distributors Association. “The start up has been, in many ways, as difficult as the shutdown… Everybody is trying to turn it on immediately and the capacity might not be there.”

USA - Younger Americans are reshaping the country with a philosophy of life that rejects faith in God and organized worship at the same time defining success and morality in terms of personal happiness and economic social justice, a survey from the Cultural Research Center (CRC) at Arizona Christian University found. The American Worldview Inventory (AWVI) 2021, an annual survey that examines the perspectives of adults aged 18 and over in the United States, found that while 57 percent of Millennials (born 1984-2002) consider themselves to be Christian, 43 percent “don’t know, care, or believe that God exists.”

USA - Is eating grains healthy? You might think that as long as you stick to whole grains, you have nothing to worry about from a health standpoint, but the sad truth is that America’s wheat supply is extensively contaminated by glyphosate. Although there is no GMO wheat grown in the US right now – at least, not deliberately, although there are reports of rogue varieties of GMO wheat cropping up from test plots – most of the country’s wheat is nevertheless contaminated with toxic glyphosate. This is largely because the herbicide is habitually sprayed on wheat crops in a process known as desiccation. When farmers spray glyphosate, often in the form of the commercial herbicide Roundup, on their wheat, it allows them to harvest it at a time that is convenient for them, such as ahead of the first snowfall in their area. It may make their lives easier, but it can make life a lot harder for many people who eat the resulting products as the chemical has been linked to a host of serious illnesses, including cancer.

USA - Millions of consumers around the world have been hoodwinked by the “Non-GMO” product label, and to this day, have no clue that the quality of the majority of those products is nothing even close to organic. The whole goal of eating healthy is to avoid foods that are contaminated, and that way you also get the most nutrients possible. The “Non-GMO” label, such as the popular “Project Non-GMO Verified” label, can be affixed to food products that still contain “biosludge” biological waste, which can include syringes, blood vials and pathogens from surgical wraps and Petri dishes used to develop dirty vaccines, including COVID-19. There is one good reason to buy food that is labeled “Non-GMO,” but there are about 10 blaring reasons not to. This is why you should only buy organic food or locally (or self-grown) food that you can be sure is not loaded with contaminants.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO - Thousands of people have been evacuated after the Nyiragongo volcano erupted and fumes turned the sky red in apocalyptic scenes. The government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo ordered the mass evacuation from the eastern city of Goma on Saturday following the eruption. Even before the official announcement, thousands of people had started filling the streets and carrying what they could as they headed out of the city, which has already suffered from previous eruptions. But later Saturday, Communications Minister Patrick Muyaya tweeted: "The evacuation plan for the city of Goma has been activated. The last time Nyiragongo erupted was January 17, 2002, killing more than a hundred people and covering almost all of the eastern part of Goma with lava, including half of the airport's landing strip.” The Goma region, which lies in North Kivu province, bordering Rwanda and Uganda, has six volcanoes, all higher than 3,000 metres.

ISRAEL - Israel had restrained itself in Gaza under the belief that Yahya Sinwar wants to focus on improving the living conditions of Gazans. But the deep essence of Hamas dictates an inevitable confrontation. In the Gazan culture of the Muslim Brotherhood there is almost no constructive content of building a society and a nation. The struggle to uproot the Jews is the meaning of life. Gazan society does not offer its children a better future but a morbid satisfaction from killing Jews and destroying their country, derived from a tribal and pathological version of “honor.” Gaza has no “solution”: improving living conditions of Gazans is not for them a substitute for violent struggle. The current confrontation would have come anyway and it's good that it came now and not during a possible war with Iran and its emissaries. Israel has been given the opportunity to direct all its resources against Hamas and to fatally damage its military capabilities.
