BEAST BELOW Shocking moment massive shark is spotted lurking near oblivious swimmers off Australia beach

THIS is the horror moment a massive shark was spotted nail-bitingly close to a pair of unsuspecting swimmers off a famous Aussie beach.

The drone footage shows the two swimmers staring at a school of salmon as the beast stalks them just off Bondi beach on Saturday.

Perhaps Zhanna Samsonova and Timothy Treadwell can swap recipes in the after life.

Vegan ‘Influencer’ Dead At 39 — Reports Are That Her Diet Killed Her

We are endlessly scolded by the ‘experts’ that healthy eating is a function of how many veggies you eat, and that red meat will kill you and the planet too.

If vegetarian diets are held up as the healthiest of all eating, you would think that a 39-yo ‘influencer’ who held herself to one of the strictest forms of such eating would be especially healthy.

Her followers, seeing her photos certainly thought so.

There are enough Republicans to blame on this as well.

Reality is reality. No, a man did not give birth to twins. If a man had, you wouldn't have to tell us this butch dyke was a woman at birth but decided to fight reality with drugs and hormones. However, a mentally ill woman did give birth to twins.

Transgender man, 22, gives birth to TWINS after going through six rounds of artificial insemination with a sperm donor to fulfill his dream of having a biological baby
Aaden Darr, from Charleston, West Virginia, came out as trans at age 16
He began taking testosterone - but after two years realized he wanted a baby
Aaden stopped the treatment immediately and after five months of attempting artificial insemination, he fell pregnant with twins in 2020

Speaking of reality. It is a sad day when you have to pass legislation dealing with basic biology and basic science.

Republican Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has signed a bill into law which defines the words “female” and “mother” in order to “bring clarity, certainty, and uniformity” to state laws.

The bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Jessica Garvin, told the Daily Caller in January that the bill would protect women from men invading their single-sex spaces.

“There are states where there have been men who have been incarcerated, and then they decided to identify as female. That has obviously been problematic because it turns out some of these men have sexually abused women while incarcerated,” Garvin said.

So what does one do to maintain his or her relevancy in our current culture? You just make up shit, spew it out and act like nothing has happened. This guy is a fucking attention whore.

Neil deGrasse Tyson under fire after declaring gender is a spectrum

Acclaimed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is under fire after conservatives uncovered footage of him alleging that chromosomes are insufficient when it comes to determining a person's gender because identity is a choice.

They don't have to convict him on whimsical fairy tale charges. They just have to financially bleed him to death.

BREAKING: Trump Indicted by Biden DOJ for His ‘Role’ in January 6

The 45-page indictment (embedded below) charges Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

“This is nothing more than the latest corrupt chapter in the continued pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election, in which President Trump is the undisputed frontrunner, and leading by substantial margins,” the Trump campaign said in a statement received by PJ Media.

Donald Trump teased the indictment Tuesday afternoon, questioning the timing and calling it election interference and prosecutorial misconduct.

The nerve of some people and organizations. Or as our finest fiscal mind says, "Why downgrade us? Our printing presses are still working.

Treasury Secretary Yellen is pissed, calling the downgrade “arbitrary” and “outdated.”!

“I strongly disagree with Fitch Ratings’ decision. The change by Fitch Ratings announced today is arbitrary and based on outdated data. Fitch’s quantitative ratings model declined markedly between 2018 and 2020 – and yet Fitch is announcing its change now, despite the progress that we see in many of the indicators that Fitch relies on for its decision. Many of these measures, including those related to governance, have shown improvement over the course of this Administration, with the passage of bipartisan legislation to address the debt limit, invest in infrastructure, and make other investments in America’s competitiveness.

Fitch’s decision does not change what Americans, investors, and people all around the world already know: that Treasury securities remain the world’s preeminent safe and liquid asset, and that the American economy is fundamentally strong.

Over the past few years, the United States has undergone a historically fast economic recovery from a deep recession. Today, the unemployment rate is near historic lows, inflation has come down significantly since last summer, and last week’s GDP report shows that the U.S. economy continues to grow. The American economy remains the world’s largest and most dynamic economy, with the deepest and most liquid financial markets in the world. To build on this, President Biden and I have been focused on making critical investments in our country’s core economic strength and productive capacity.

He has a lot to look forward to. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
