One of Britain’s most influential cardiologists, Dr. Aseem Malhotra—citing a duty to his patients, scientific integrity, and the truth—just published what he describes as perhaps the most critical research paper of his prestigious career. His work, fueled by the sudden death of his “very fit and well” father in July 2021, critically appraised the real-world data around the mRNA COVID jab. After nine months of rigorous research and extensive peer review, Malhotra’s paper concludes what many heavily censored brave experts have been saying for months—the massive push to get the mRNA COVID-19 jab into the arms of humanity serves a purely sinister purpose: increased pharmaceutical shareholder profits at any cost. Indeed, with Pfizer in the lead, Malhotra is convinced the current system, which gives big pharma way too much power, is “encouraging good people to do bad things.” On that note, he is calling for all COVID-19 vaccines to be withdrawn

I guess I'm unusual. I appreciate the endless choice of music. I've discovered a great number of artists.

‘There’s endless choice, but you’re not listening’: fans quitting Spotify to save their love of music

Former streaming service subscribers on why they have ditched mod cons for MP3s, CDs and other DIY music formats

Meg Lethem was working at her bakery job one morning in Boston when she had an epiphany. Tasked with choosing the day’s soundtrack, she opened Spotify, then flicked and flicked, endlessly searching for something to play. Nothing was perfect for the moment. She looked some more, through playlist after playlist. An uncomfortably familiar loop, it made her realise: she hated how music was being used in her life. “That was the problem,” she says. “Using music, rather than having it be its own experience … What kind of music am I going to use to set a mood for the day? What am I going to use to enjoy my walk? I started not really liking what that meant.”

It wasn’t just passive listening, but a utilitarian approach to music that felt like a creation of the streaming environment. “I decided that having music be this tool to [create] an experience instead of an experience itself was not something I was into,” she reflects. So she cut off her Spotify service, and later, Apple Music too, to focus on making her listening more “home-based” and less of a background experience.

Someone tell this dumb bint there were hurricanes before Global Warming. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) claims voting for her ilk would stop hurricanes.

During an interview on MSNBC, Klobuchar was spiking the football over the climate change bill they recently passed. You know, the one that they initially billed as something that would address the out-of-control inflation brought about by the policy decisions these Democrats have been making.

Klobuchar was talking about these bipartisan efforts to push these bills forward when she crossed into the realm of the ridiculous and suggested that people need to vote Democrats in during the midterms and used hurricane Ian barreling down on Florida as an example of why Democrats deserve power.

The suggestion here is that voting for Democrats will be the first step to stopping things like hurricanes from happening.

Who is watching "Who's Talking To Chris Wallace"? Obviously not many.

Chris Wallace’s new CNN show struggled to get any viewers during its Sunday debut, new ratings data shows, according to reports.

Wallace’s show, “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace,” raked in just 401,000 viewers Sunday night, down 29% from the 2022 average for the 7:00 p.m., time slot, data from Nielsen Media Research shows, according to the New York Post (NYP). Just 44,000 between the ages of 25-54 demographic tuned in, down 64% from the average, according to the report.

Oh the things I learn researching and drafting The ONT. Why Are People Sunning Their Arseholes on TikTok?

Sorry in advance if you’re eating breakfast, but the perineum (AKA the “gooch”) is the area between the pubic bone and the anal cavity. For some, sunning this area (also known as “perineum sunning”) for at least three minutes at a time apparently creates a surge in energy equivalent to “walking around in the sun all day”, “recharging” or “having a cup of coffee”. And with #perinuemsunning currently getting over 2.7 million views on TikTok, it’s not even particularly niche as a “wellness” trend.

Jeffrey Dahmer was as queer as a $3 bill. So were his victims. Why the fuss LGBTQ crowd?

Netflix has removed the “LGBTQ” label from its new limited series on Jeffrey Dahmer following a social media backlash in which gays complained that the show reflects badly on them.

The show’s official Netflix homepage no longer lists “LGBTQ” under “genres” and the show no longer carries the “LGBTQ”category tag in the Netflix app. It appears Netflix made the changes over the weekend or on Monday, according to multiple reports.

Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, from mega-producer Ryan Murphy, dramatizes the life story of the infamous serial killer who during the late 70s through the early 90s lured 17 young men and boys to their deaths, engaging in dismemberment, cannibalism, and necrophilia. Starring Evan Peters in the title role, the show began streaming this month and has drawn strong audience interest, hitting the No. 1 spot on the streamer’s most-watched list around the world.

But as Breitbart News reported, gays took to social media to chide Netflix for putting the show under the “LGBTQ” category, with one TikTok user saying, “I know this is technically true but this is not the representation we’re looking for.”

I'm a proponent of the 2nd Amendment. I'm a supporter of hunting and hunt every year. This story is infuriating.

I'd do it again! Montana woman, 36, DEFENDS shooting and skinning Siberian husky that she mistook for a wolf and says 'aggressive' animal was coming towards her...as she's hounded on social media

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT

Amber Rose Barnes, 36, shot and skinned the Siberian husky then boasted about the kill on Facebook, telling friends she'd killed a 'wolf pup'
She was quickly informed that she'd in fact slaughtered a dog, and was swiftly trolled for it

Police have confirmed that the dog was among 12 Husky-Shepherd mixes that had been dumped in the woods

Many of them have now been recovered and have tested positive for parvovirus - a deadly disease that spreads among dogs

Police are working to identify the person who dumped the puppies in the woods
Barnes - who has not been charged - defended her actions online
She said the aggressive animal was 'howling, growling' and 'coming at her'

She wouldn't know what a predator was if it bit her in the ass. Please keep her away from Black Lab puppies.

Thank's Mom. You dumb.........

ccording to the 24-year-old mom, who vented on Reddit's "Off My Chest" forum, there was no ill intent behind the scandalous name she picked: Lucifer.

"I'm an atheist, so I didn't care about what other people believe that name is supposed to represent," the mom explained. "Lucifer was nothing but a name to me."

But when the new mom shared her choice with her own mother, she was met with resistance. "Lucifer" is a Latin word that means "light bearer," but it's more widely known as the name of the devil.

It sucks to be her. Hopefully the kids will turn out alright.

My children were born in New York but now live in Texas. I sometimes wish we had never moved.

I moved from New York City to Houston, following my husband at the time.

I'm still learning to deal with Texas things like floods and snakes.

I consider my children New Yorkers more than Texans and sometimes wish we were still there.

Good and bad news. The bad news. If it weren't for bad luck he would have no luck at all. The Good news. Genius Award Winner.

TOWN OF THOMPSON – A Woodbourne man has been arrested for grand larceny after his vehicle ran out of gas in front of the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office.

It's such a basic rule, or is it? Just ask our Genius Award Winner.
