Imagine being offered a tax-payer funded working vacation in the idyllic landscape of Taiwan. Would you say no? What if there’s a risk your vacation might lead to nuclear war? Would you still go? If your answer is yes, then you might be Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi . While some are scared Pelosi’s visit will lead to World War III , don’t panic. China already carried out one of the most terrifying stealth invasions of Western psychology, sociology and daily life that may have ever occurred in history… and they might be winning. Let’s start with China’s most recent successful export other than the COVID-19 pandemic : fentanyl . This man-made opiate is 80-100 times stronger than morphine, is very cheap and easy to produce, and kills pretty swiftly. Most fentanyl comes to the U.S. via our cartel-controlled open borders . Where do the cartels get their fentanyl from? China of course! In 2020, roughly 75% of the almost 100,000 reported drug-related deaths in America … [Read more...] about Don’t Worry About Pelosi’s Taiwan Visit. China Invaded Us Years Ago, Didn’t You Notice?

Thailand’s National police chief Suwat Jangyodsuk has said based on evidence so far he believes the death of TV program star Nida “Tangmo” Patcharaveerapong was a result of an accident. In a statement, he said investigators have been instructed to examine the statements of the witnesses and evidence such as phone records, driving speed, and data from the speedboat’s GPS system. He said police expect to find out more in the next couple of days when the results of the forensic examination of the TV program star are released. It took almost two days for Nida’s body to be recovered after she allegedly fell into the Chao Phraya River while on a speedboat with five others on February 26. After the incident, Tanupat “Por” Lerttaweewit and Phaiboon “Robert” Trikanjananun were charged with operating a vessel without a license and negligence resulting in death. There were also three others on board: Idsarin “Gatick” Juthasuksawat, Tangmo’s manager; Wisapat “Sand” Manomairat; … [Read more...] about TV Program Star Nida’s Death Allegedly Just an Accident

US actress Amber Midthunder attends the Los Angeles premiere of “Prey” at the Regency Village Theater on Aug. 2, 2022, in Los Angeles. Image: AFP/Michael Tran Having battled mighty heroes across time and space, the invisible extraterrestrial hunters of the “Predator” films have a new—or rather, old—foe in an 18th-century female Comanche warrior. Prequel film “Prey,” out Friday on Hulu in the United States, is perhaps the most unlikely direction yet for the “Predator” franchise, which first hit screens with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1987 action classic. Since then, the bloodthirsty trophy-hunting creatures have slaughtered humans in Central American rainforests, Los Angeles and faraway planets, even battling the monsters of the “Alien” franchise in two crossover films. The latest installment is set centuries earlier, landing its predator in 1719 North America, where it takes up the trail of Comanche hunters, French fur-trappers and buffalo. Director Dan Trachtenberg told a … [Read more...] about Comanche warriors take spotlight in ‘Predator’ prequel ‘Prey’

BIDEN ADMIN FIGHTING TO SEIZE POWER OVER YOU, SAYS FAUCI… Fauci Admits Fight Over Travel Mask Mandate Is All About Hoarding Power (VIDEO) Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top medical adviser to the White House, admitted Wednesday that the battle over the Biden administration’s travel mask mandate is really about public health officials maintaining as much power as possible. President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) filed with a federal appeals court Tuesday against an April decision which overturned the public transportation and airplane mask mandate that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle ruled in April that the CDC was overstepping its legal authority by forcing Americans to wear a mask any time they travel. Fauci told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto that the Biden administration’s fight against that ruling wasn’t so much about the mandate itself, but conserving the power of the … [Read more...] about Editor Daily Rundown: Biden Admin Fighting To Seize Power Over You

Instead of being generic plastic bodies to be clothed and posed, the dolls were now pitched as … [Read more...] about The Jane Goodall Barbie is the latest step of the doll’s strange evolution

The saddest part of the complete breakdown of trust in America is how little its leaders seem to care. There’s been a lot written about the trust freefall. People haven’t trusted politicians for years (U.S. Congress: 18% approval ), but now even formerly highly trusted institutions like the church (now at 31% confidence ) and the U.S. military ( trust down 25% since 2018 ) are in a trust freefall. You may expect national leaders to be racking their brains on how to rebuild this trust, yet there is no sign of that. Instead, the attitude seems to be “what the hell is wrong with the American people?” Leaders bemoan the rise of populism yet refuse to give even the briefest thought to its root causes. National leaders and institutions seem oblivious to their own active role in America’s decline. People stop trusting institutions and leaders when they don’t see those parties acting honestly. People stop trusting when they start doubting that a leader or an organization has their best … [Read more...] about PATEL: America’s Leaders Need to Step Up Before It’s Too Late

Lee Jong-Suk in Korean drama 'Big Mouth', streaming on Disney+Hotstar. (screen grab/trailer) My maid saw this contraption at my house, and she asked: which Korean show made you buy this? How could I admit that it was Lee Jong-Suk using the upright vacuum in Romance Is A Bonus Book that had not just me, but thousands of women across the world buying Dyson Upright Vacuum cleaners? How could I say that it was awesome to see a hero do household chores like vacuuming and still look cool, calm and collected?

Fiscal feminism took its own sweet time to arrive. (Representational image: Rupixen via Unsplash) As a nation our financial DNA consists of petty savings, pay slips, chit funds, land holdings, bank loans and… dowry. Cash had very ‘his and her’ beginnings; for the longest time, money was a misogynist. Men dreamt of becoming rich, women dreamt of marrying rich. While women went about flaunting wealth via jewellery given to them by dads, husbands, brothers or sons, men learnt to salt it away in offshore accounts without the little woman knowing. Property and paisa were both male. ‘May you be the mother of a hundred sons’ was less a gynaecological curse than prosperity blessings. Sons were money in the bank. Fiscal feminism took its own sweet time to arrive. When Vijay of Deewar bought the house his mother helped to build as a labourer, it was still a man taking care of his womenfolk. Poor heroes were marrying rich heroines in film after film. Then one day actor Sushmita Sen bought … [Read more...] about Rupee sheds its sexist look

A woman who is brave and ready to defend those who are in need.
