Rolling Stone report: Trump boasted he had intel on Macron's sex life
Former U.S. President Donald Trump for years bragged to close associates that he knew illicit details about French President Emmanuel Macron's sex life, gleaned from "intelligence" briefings, Rolling Stone reported late Monday, citing "two people with knowledge of the matter." The issue has surged back into the spotlight in the wake of the FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, during which authorities seized sensitive documents, including one titled "info re: President of France." It's unknown whether the document in question contained details about Macron's personal life. Rolling Stone has also not confirmed whether the information seized regarding Macron was classified or sourced from U.S. intelligence. But the magazine said the "mere revelation of [the document's] existence triggered a trans-Atlantic freakout."

Former President Trump reiterated calls for a new election in a post to Truth Social on Tuesday morning. "The Presidential Election was BADLY & IRREPARABLY TAINTED by the FBI's FAKE description of the 'Laptop from Hell' to Facebook & the LameStream Media - & for MANY other reasons as well," Trump wrote early Tuesday. "Declare the rightful winner, or hold a new Election, NOW! Our Country, which is failing badly, knows the 'score,' and will never accept Criminal Election Interference."

2 separate Bigfoot sightings reported in South Carolina this year
Two Bigfoot sightings have been reported in South Carolina this year, according to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. According to its website, the creature was spotted twice this summer -- once on July 5 and then another time on Aug. 2. The first sighting was reported near a powerline cut, which the report says is common for Bigfoot sightings. The area is near Clover in York County. A professional forester reported hearing a knocking noise and a strange smell in the area. He also said he found a large area of grass that was compressed "as if something large is sleeping there regularly."

RNA for Moderna's Omicron Booster Manufactured by CIA-Linked Company
Since late last year, messenger RNA for Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines, including its recently reformulated Omicron booster, has been exclusively manufactured by a little known company with significant ties to US intelligence. Earlier this week, the United Kingdom became the first country to approve Moderna's reformulated version of its COVID-19 vaccine, which claims to provide protection against both the original form of the virus and the significantly less lethal but more transmissible Omicron variant. The product was approved by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) with the support of the UK government's Commission on Human Medicines. Described by UK officials as a "sharpened tool" in the nation's continued vaccination campaign, the reformulated vaccine combines the previously approved COVID-19 vaccine with a "vaccine candidate" targeting the Omicron variant BA.1. That vaccine candidate has never been previously approved and has not been the subject...

Project Veritas exposes woke assistant principal bragging about indoctrinating kids, REFUSING to hire Catholic teachers
In a new video released by Project Veritas on Tuesday, the Assistant Principle of Cos Cob Elementary School in Connecticut was captured boasting about how he doesn't hire Catholic teachers, and how the teachers at the school sneak liberal ways of thinking into their teaching methods. "You're teaching them how to think. That's it. It doesn't matter what they think about.

Baghdad, Iraq violence leaves at least 30 dead, cleric tells protesters to withdraw
At least 30 were confirmed dead in Iraq Tuesday as fighting continues in Baghdad following the resignation of a top Shiite leader Monday. Gun fire has continued to ring out in the nation's capital as leaders grapple with Iraq's greatest political crisis since the U.S. invasion in 2003. Protests once again erupted in Iraq's Green Zone - the center of Iraqi government offices and foreign embassies - after Muqtada al-Sadr said he had had enough of politics and stepped down from his cleric role. His resignation has sparked violent protests from his supporters who stormed the presidential palace Monday, just one month after they rushed the parliamentary building and held protests outside the Supreme Judicial Council demanding the dissolution of parliament and early elections.

Saudi woman gets 45-year prison term for social media posts
A Saudi Arabian court has sentenced a woman to 45 years in prison for social media posts, a rights group said, in the latest example of a crackdown on women activists that followed a visit by U.S. President Joe Biden to the kingdom. Nourah bint Saeed al-Qahtani was convicted "likely within last week" by the Saudi Specialized Criminal Court on charges of "using the internet to tear the (Saudi) social fabric" and "violating public order by using social media", Washington-based DAWN organisation said in a statement, citing court documents. The Saudi government media office did not respond to a request for comment. DAWN said little was known about Qahtani or what her social media posts said, and that it was continuing to investigate her case.

Michigan storms leave over 340,000 people without power, kill teenager
Hundreds of thousands of Michigan residents were without electricity on Tuesday after powerful storms toppled trees and downed thousands of power lines in the state a day earlier, including one that electrocuted a 14-year-old girl. More than 340,000 customers remained without power, utility companies said at around 5 pm ET (9 pm GMT) on Tuesday. Dozens of schools across southeastern Michigan, including nearly two dozen in Detroit alone, canceled classes on Tuesday because of the outages, officials and The Detroit News said. In Monroe, about 40 miles south of Detroit, a 14-year-old girl was electrocuted late on Monday when she came in contact with an electrical line that fell during the storm outside her home, police said.

Family-owned bakery falsely labeled racist by woke Ohio college gets win in Supreme Court appeal
Gibson's Bakery, a family-owned bakery that has operated in Oberlin, Ohio, since 1885, received a major win in its ongoing feud with Oberlin College, which encouraged and supported students and faculty falsely accusing the bakery of racism in 2016. A jury had awarded the bakery $36 million in damages after Oberlin's sustained campaign against the shop, and the college fought the verdict with every tool at its disposal. The state Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear Oberlin's appeal, meaning the school will finally have to pay the bakery it has nearly put out of business. "Truth Still Matters, David can still overcome Goliath. We and the Gibson family are gratified that all judges on the court of appeals and the majority of the Ohio Supreme Court recognized the rights of individuals rather than the bullying tactics of the big institutions," the Gibson family's attorneys told The Daily Wire in a statement.

Children's hospital CEO 'won't back down' on controversial transgender operations - leaked email
Amid a wave of condemnation, Boston Children's Hospital CEO Kevin Churchwell reportedly said on Monday that his institution would continue to provide "trusted care" to transgender children, according to emails obtained by activist Chris Elston. The hospital has been under fire for offering genital surgeries to minors. In a letter to employees, published by Elston, Churchwell accused critics of "mislead[ing] the public about the high-quality and safe care we provide," adding that "we won't back down" on "our commitment to provide the best care for those who need it." The care in this case refers to irreversible surgical procedures on minors, which the hospital has taken steps to cover up in recent weeks. While its YouTube page once featured dozens of videos of doctors discussing hysterectomies, breast removal, and penile reconstruction on children, this content has since been deleted.

Ya think? US voters wary of new IRS agents - poll
Some 49% of American voters believe that the 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service agents to be hired by the administration of Joe Biden will target either the middle class or the president's political opponents, a poll has found. Democrats are more likely to believe that the agents will focus on the wealthy, as Biden has claimed. Released on Tuesday, the Trafalgar Group poll found that 33% of voters said the agents would be hired to "audit middle class Americans and small businesses," 31% said that "wealthy Americans and large corporations" would be targeted, while 16% said that the true purpose of hiring so many new agents is to "target the political opponents of those in power."

Failing up: Joe Biden picks Hunter laptop denier for presidential intelligence board
President Joe Biden's latest pick for his Intelligence Advisory Board is an MSNBC pundit who was among dozens of former intelligence officials to sign a letter in 2020 claiming, without evidence, that the Hunter Biden laptop story was part of a Russian disinformation operation. Jeremy Bash, a former chief of staff at the CIA and Pentagon, was picked by Biden to be part of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board on Friday. Bash, along with roughly 50 other ex-intelligence officials, signed a letter in October 2020 claiming the Hunter Biden laptop saga had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation," while Bash himself suggested on TV that the laptop story was "Russian disinformation."

Yes, plants may be conscious too, says researcher
At one time, claims for animal consciousness and/or intelligence focused on, say, chimpanzees and dolphins, where the animals were enough like humans that what is meant by intelligence or consciousness was clear. Maybe not clear enough for a philosopher but clear enough for practical purposes. The octopus's intelligence came as a bit of a surprise because it is an invertebrate. But these comparisons with mammals and birds showed that we were still talking about the same thing. We are now told in science publications that bees feel and think and that spiders dream. As science edges slowly toward panpsychism (all life forms participate in consciousness), we even learn — in science journals — that viruses are intelligent and cells are cognitive.

International survey of unvaccinated 'control group' reports its findings
It is clear that many are now waking up to the realisation that much of the Government narrative on the pandemic was wrong and that many of the COVID-19 preventive measures did more harm than good. Both candidates for U.K. Prime Minister have recently admitted that the lockdowns were a mistake. In particular, many of the unsuspecting public who submitted to the vaccinations are now beginning to question the need for them. Vaccinations have not fulfilled the claims of manufacturers and governments and few in mainstream science seem to have anticipated the frequent mutations which render the early vaccines largely useless. More are now starting to question the unexpected, and sometimes fatal, conditions which some of the vaccinated mysteriously develop soon after vaccination. Others simply have 'vaccine fatigue' and can't be bothered going for any more jabs.
