Who cares… That was like 4 years ago, right?
Your daily dose of natural disasters and amazing phenomena for May 8, 2024...
Uplifting news... At least for some children... South Carolina is the latest state to approve ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors…
The bill bars health professionals from performing gender-transition surgeries, prescribing puberty blockers and overseeing hormone treatments for patients under 18…
And for some students…
"Requests for a statement on diversity will no longer be part of applications for any faculty positions at MIT"…
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has ended the use of diversity statements for faculty hiring, making it the first elite private university to backtrack on the practice that has been roundly criticised as a political litmus test…
BUT, because there is a big BUT! Don't expect the DEI fanatics to tuck their tails and leave just because they've lost a skirmish. There are many ways to enforce a DEI mindset without requiring an explicit statement. But it does appear the tide is slowly turning… YEAH…
MIT becomes first elite university to ban diversity statements…
And yes, I can confirm, they are all over… Roma flocking to Switzerland for benefits using fake Ukrainian passports…
Move out, next is your house… Sinkhole swallows 2 cars in Las Cruces, New Mexico… Imagine the nightmare…
Oh look, exactly what we thought would happen happened… Yeah, it's been clear for months that the trial was not starting on May. This is not a surprise and leaves the DC court able to schedule their trial without worrying about conflict… Trump classified documents trial in Florida postponed indefinitely…
US senators are openly threatening the Chief of the International Criminal Court with sanctions and a travel ban for his family The masks are coming off…
Great news for all contact wearers… A pilot study reveals that contact lenses can release microplastics when exposed to sunlight for extended periods. Researchers developed an automated system to quantify these microplastics in lens samples. They found that lenses exposed to simulated sunlight shed tiny plastic particles, with more shedding in lenses with shorter lifespans. The study suggests that if worn for 10 hours daily, some lenses could shed over 90,000 microplastic particles annually. The health implications of microplastic exposure to the eyes remain uncertain, prompting the need for further research in this area…
The US has only had one real attempted coupe in its history, and it wasn't Jan 6th…
She regrets saying it but probably still believe what she said… New York governor regrets saying Black kids in the Bronx don't know what a computer is…
Quietly and secretly: EU stops approval for Astra Zeneca's C19 "vaccine"… I wonder if they're going to throw the other companies under-the-bus to save their own ass… AstraZeneca removes its Covid vaccine…
Is the whole war in Ukraine just a theater for the money laundering operation that's going on? Yep! It seems they are sharing the same base for weeks, probably meaning months…
You can’t make this thing up… Zuckerberg, a very vocal advocate for climate change action, has added a $300 million mega-yacht to his collection, which includes a Gulfstream G650 jet.
Authoritarian country cries wolf because they don’t want their enemy to ban an app they not only made themselves, but banned in their own country… TikTok fights back, sues US government after being given 270 days to sell off its Crown Jewel…
Better get your big trades in before the end of 2024. The IRS will be automatically receiving your trades directly from exchanges like Coinbase/Kraken/Binance etc, starting 2025 (i e. the April 2026 tax deadline) just like how regular stock brokers report your trades to the IRS. Note that currently, US exchanges only report crypto staking/dividend/interest income of its users to the IRS, and not the capital gains you generate via trades (relying instead solely on self-reporting). That all changes in 2025…
The Trudeau regime has introduced an Orwellian new law called the Online Harms Bill C-63, which will give police the power to retroactively search the Internet for ‘hate speech’ violations and arrest offenders, even if the offence occurred before the law existed. This new bill is aimed at safeguarding the masses from so-called “hate speech…” Poilièvre and Trudeau are two bad guys… But this new law is even worse…
HEY FRIENDS! PLEASE SUPPORT MY WORK! THANKS YOU!
Some 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized object smashed into the nascent Earth, spinning off our moon. Now a team of scientists proposes this giant impact did even more: The collision left behind mysterious blobs within Earth’s interior that may have helped kick off plate tectonics — the geologic process that fuels earthquakes, volcanoes and generally allows life to exist on our planet.
The idea, fleshed out with computer modeling in a new study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, is an attempt to answer one of the most fundamental questions about our home world…

Several areas of Chile’s Santiago Metropolitan Region experienced rare snowfall on Tuesday (May 7)… While snow in the capital is unusual, it is not unheard of. In July 2020, snow appeared in the eastern part of the capital, specifically in the commune of Lo Barnechea. In July 2017, Santiago residents woke up to rare snowfall that blanketed the capital and caused widespread power outages…

Hey friends! Now its time to SUPPORT MY WORK!
If a few more people choose to become paid subscribers, I could expose more lies, root out more corruption, and call out more hypocrites. So, if you can afford it, please support this work.
Thank you and have a great Wednesday,

"Now a team of scientists proposes this giant impact did even more: The collision left behind mysterious blobs within Earth’s interior that may have helped kick off plate tectonics". It never ceases to amaze me the depths of illogic that this modern, technological world will sink to explain away the absolutely imperative "special creation" which shows us (should show us) the Designer behind the universe but since the 19th century men have been attempting to explain the CREATION without a CREATOR. Excerpt from my book, "Evolution: Fact or Fallacy." Quote taken from Richard Lewontin.
Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. ... To appeal to an omnipotent deity is to allow that at any moment the regularities of nature may be ruptured, that miracles may happen.
Thanks for the world news roundup, Manuel!! The Sargon post was most interesting!!
