First time reading? Sign up here. | | American Fact of the Day! | California's name comes from a mythical island paradise written about in an early 16th-century Spanish novel: In the early 16th century, shortly before Spanish sailors first discovered the region, a novel by the name of Las Sergas de Esplandián gained popularity. It described an island to the east of the Indies called California, where an Amazonian-like race of warrior women lived. There's no direct record of the fabled island being the namesake of the island, but it's highly likely due to its popularity at the time of Spain's colonial attempts in the Americas. Even more so, as explorers initially thought the land they called California to be an island. |

| | Never Cut Carbs…Do This Instead | Cutting carbs to lose weight? Not so fast One of the world's top doctors says there's a MUCH easier way, that works even better. It's already well known that the Keto diet can give people more energy, clearer thinking, and help burn fat. But thanks to a new discovery, it seems there are specific foods that can accomplish the same thing... without cutting a single carb. The secret comes down to what a top cardiothoracic surgeon calls "caloric bypass." Essentially, certain foods trick our cells into "bypassing" calories we eat, so they don't get stored as fat. Incredibly, it turns out this is actually great for overall health. Users have reported more energy, improved digestion, a healthier body, and in many cases dramatic weight improvements. And this comes without cutting carbs. Click Here To Find Out Now>> |

| Advertisment | | Breaking Updates | | Islamic Jihad Releases Horrific 'Proof of Life' Video of Israeli Hostage, Alexander Trupanov | The terror organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad released a video depicting an Israeli hostage, 28-year-old Alexander "Sasha" Trupanov, who was kidnapped during the vicious October 7th attack launched by Hamas into Isreal.
Trupanov is reportedly being held somewhere in Gaza: A terrorist group in Gaza released a hostage video on Tuesday of an Israeli Amazon employee who was kidnapped during Hamas's bloody Oct. 7 attacks – and has been held in the war-torn enclave ever since. Sasha Troufanov [sic], a 28-year-old computer engineer with the Tel Aviv-based microelectronics firm Annapurna Labs, an Amazon subsidiary, wore a black, white and red polo in the video, which he addressed to the Israeli public and "all of the protesters," according to The Jerusalem Post.
Troufanov [sic] – who is being held by Palestinian Islamic Jihad – added that "in the next few days, you will hear the truth of what happened to me, as well as the other prisoners in Gaza."
At this point, it seems obvious that the only way the remaining hostages will be released is if Israel makes an unacceptable deal that leaves Hamas or their equivalent in control in Gaza, or if the Israel Defense Forces go in and take them back.
It's important to retain a little perspective here. Some days it seems as the entire world is yammering at Israel - not Hamas, but Israel - for a ceasefire in their war with Hamas. Well, Hamas had a ceasefire, right up until they launched an attack on Israel on October 7th of last year, an attack so horrifying, so barbarous, so vicious, as to send shockwaves around the planet. Hamas had a ceasefire and they broke it, in a storm of bullets and rocket-propelled grenades. They murdered and raped; they executed the elderly along with children and even infants. It is the actions of Hamas that put themselves, by their actions, beyond the comprehension of civilized people anywhere. | Read more updates here |

| | Biden Gets Desperate, Will Use Capitol Police Against Trump in New Campaign Strategy | The Biden campaign is pulling out all the stops in an effort to defeat former President Donald Trump in November's election. The campaign announced Tuesday that three former and current police officers who were present during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol protest will travel to swing states to try to persuade voters not to choose Trump, CBS News reported. The Republican is currently running ahead of Biden in polling in all seven key battleground states likely to decide this year's contest, according to the RealClear Polling average of polls.
The Cook Political Report showed Trump up in six of the seven, with Wisconsin a dead heat. In 2020, Biden carried Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, only losing North Carolina to Trump. The Cook Political Report's Electoral College map currently has Trump winning 302 to Biden's 225.
Clearly the ongoing four criminal prosecutions brought by local Democratic districts attorneys and the Biden Justice Department are not having their intended effect. Hence the campaign's "Hail Mary" of pulling in two former Capitol Police officers and one who currently works for the D.C. Metropolitan Police to tell voters that Trump supposedly poses a threat to democracy.
On Tuesday, the Biden campaign rolled out some of their D.C. police surrogates at a news conference in front of the Manhattan courthouse where Democrat DA Alvin Bragg's "get Trump" case is being tried. Former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone said, "I heard distress calls coming from fellow police officers on the Capitol as thousands of Trump supporters rushed them and brutally assaulted members of law enforcement."
The 45th president specifically said at a rally near the White House earlier that day, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." So, of the tens of thousands of people in Washington to protest the conduct of the 2020 election, around 200 people participated in some level of violence toward officers. Trump didn't ask them to do it, but they chose to do so.
The real threat to democracy is Joe Biden and the Democrats, with their political prosecutions, not Donald Trump. | Read more updates here |
