State animal and human health experts in three states who work closely with veterinarians and farmers said the government tally is likely an undercount because farmers are fearful of the economic hardship brought by a positive test, including being restricted from selling their milk or cattle for weeks. The virus reduces milk production in cattle. The US, the world’s second-largest cheese producer after the European Union, is the only country with known infections in cows.

The study was published in Academic Medicine, the journal of the Association of American Medical Colleges, which pushes the assisted-suicide-training agenda: Great efforts are being made by activists and media to normalize assisted suicide as the most “dignified” means of dying. And now, we can see that this agenda has extended to include a push to increase the training of doctors in this practice, with the apparent support of the Association of American Medical Colleges.

This leads us to a pressing question: If doctors become assisted-suicide boosters — again, as has already happened in Canada, where MDs are now urged to suggest euthanasia — who will be left to protect vulnerable patients?

According to the Telegraph, the report’s author, Rev Dr Will Foulger, vicar of St Nicholas in Durham, found that six of the 11 dioceses used the language of “worship” in their main explanation of new church projects, two used “congregation”, and seven used “community”. But Dr Giles Fraser, vicar of St Anne's, in Kew, London, told the publication the report reflected a "misplaced desire" to be "modern-sounding".

We didn't have long to wait to get the answer: as German media reports, this U-turn in the narrative (which according to some meant that NATO should now unleash its full military power against... Ukraine, which had single-handedly attacked German assets by blowing up the Nordstream) was meant to soften the blow from Germany's decision to finally cut off Ukraine's - and Zelensky's - unprecedented grift.

According to a Saturday report in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), the German government will stop new military aid to Ukraine as part of the ruling coalition's plan to reduce spending. The report, which cited non-public documents and emails as well as discussions with unnamed sources, goes on to note that the moratorium on new assistance - which is already in effect - will affect new requests for funding, not previously approved aid.

Overnight, the city transformed into a fortress, with security measures that seem to extend far beyond what would be necessary for a mere political gathering. At the Dirksen Federal Building, security gates materialized like specters in the early morning mist, a clear sign to those in the know that something more than vandalism prevention was afoot.

The Magnificent Mile and Gold Coast, areas not traditionally associated with political events, have been barricaded with an intensity that suggests they are preparing for a siege rather than a convention. Residents like Chris McClendon were caught off guard, “They did it under the wraps,” he noted, hinting at a clandestine operation where even the locals are kept in the dark.

The sudden road closures, unexpected security checks, and the marking of manhole covers with tamper-evident seals scream of a preparation for something beyond the public’s comprehension. Could these be the first signs of a lockdown or even a trial run for martial law?

While angst is warranted, it is mostly misdirected. The WHO and the IHR emergency committee they convened had little real power – they are simply following a script written by their sponsors. The African CDC, which declared an emergency a day earlier, is in a similar position. Mpox is a real disease and needs local and proportionate solutions. But the problem it is highlighting is much bigger than Mpox or the WHO, and understanding this is essential if we are to fix it.

Reality in DRC: The current PHEIC was mainly precipitated by the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), though there are known outbreaks in nearby countries covering a number of clades. About 500 people have died from Mpox in DRC this year, over 80% of them under 15 years of age. In that same period, about 40,000 people in DRC, mostly children under 5 years, died from malaria. The malaria deaths were mainly due to lack of access to very basic commodities like diagnostic tests, antimalarial drugs, and insecticidal bed nets, as malaria control is chronically underfunded globally. Malaria is nearly always preventable or treatable if sufficiently resourced.

During this same period in which 500 people died from Mpox in DRC, hundreds of thousands also died in DRC and surrounding African countries from tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and the impacts of malnutrition and unsafe water. Tuberculosis alone kills about 1.3 million people globally each year, which is a rate about 1,500 times higher than Mpox in 2024.

The population of DRC is also facing increasing instability characterized by mass rape and massacres, in part due to a scramble by warlords to service the appetite of richer countries for the components of batteries. These in turn are needed to support the Green Agenda of Europe and North America. This is the context in which the people of DRC and nearby populations, which obviously should be the primary decision-makers regarding the Mpox outbreak, currently live.

Now a new bombshell study has revealed the devastating impact this has had on school life, with 26 percent of public schools reporting that a lack of focus among 'iPad' students has had a 'severe negative impact' on teacher morale. On top of low morale, a separate April study revealed that 92 percent of leadership at public schools were concerned that students were not meeting academic standards, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Teachers are quitting in droves as a new generation of appallingly behaved students push their patience to the limit.

Many educators are flocking to TikTok to complain about the unchecked behavior of Generation Alpha kids in the classroom.'I need to ask Millennials, why are your kids so awful? And more importantly, why do you think it's so funny. Your kids cannot read, they cannot write, they're ill mannered,' said one woman Alanna Dinh.

“It might allow parents to immediately avoid a temper tantrum but in the long term, repeated use of this kind of strategy does not allow children to develop strong, internal emotional regulation skills,” the study’s author, Caroline Fitzpatrick, a professor of child development at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, told CBS Evening News.

The zealots will say anything. When they bark and wail, the truth never even gets a chance to put its pants on. They tell us that storms, even those of low intensity, are products of man-made climate change. We saw this with last month’s Hurricane Beryl, attributed by all the right people to human-caused warming. Every time a glacier recedes or the Antarctic loses ice, they say our fossil-fuel use is the reason. When someone miscounts the polar bear population, the screeching about oil and gas is turned up to 11.

Name any event found in nature – wildfires, droughts, floods, heavy rain and snow, rising sea levels, crop losses, famine, disease, all of which there are credible alternate explanations for, and all of which were occurring before man discovered that crude oil was the key to modernity – and they will blame humanity as if it’s a criminal enterprise bent on destruction.

The zealots have no evidence for any of their contentions, but they are rich in speculation, and are driven by envy, anger, social ambition and quite clearly a mental illness that manifests itself in extremism. There is a remedy, but getting these people to take a strong dose of the truth is hardly a manageable task. It would be easier to sandpaper the backside of a bobcat.

No party has taken responsibility for the explosion that killed Haniyeh, including the government of Israel, which has not commented on the incident. The government of leftist American President Joe Biden denied both that it had participated in the attack and that it had any prior knowledge that it was going to happen.

The promised revenge has yet to occur at press time, however, and by Friday Iran’s top diplomats were calling for “all-out diplomatic efforts” to stop Israel’s self-defense operations against Hamas, taking a much more measured tone than the dictator of the country.

“Our nation realized that by relying on its inherent strength, it could accomplish great feats, and the enemy’s power was not as formidable as it seemed,” he asserted. Khamenei warned that the Quran would frown upon a “retreat” against Israel. “As the Quran states, a non-tactical retreat in any domain — whether military, political, or economic — will incur divine wrath,” he said.

In a joint article for the Observer highlighting a growing cooperation between Britain and France, the pair state that the world is witnessing a “destructive cycle of violence” that has to be averted. “Fighting between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah has intensified,” they write. “Iranian threats of further escalation mean the risks of a full-scale regional war are rising.

“One miscalculation, and the situation risks spiralling into an even deeper and more intractable conflict.  Several rounds of negotiations since December have failed. To say that we are getting close to a deal is an illusion,” Hamas political bureau member Sami Abu Zuhri said to AFP. “We are not facing a deal or real negotiations, but rather the imposing of American diktats.”

The reason for this is simple. Days of detailed argument over the exact parameters of any agreement obscure the fact that a deal can only be done when the most influential decision-makers on each side believe that the time is right to end the fighting. At the moment, this does not appear to be the case.

Despite the immense damage done to Israel’s international reputation and its relations with Washington, the economic cost, its 300-plus military fatalities, the seething anger in the occupied West Bank and more, Benjamin Netanyahu still appears convinced that there is more to be gained from continuing the offensive Israel launched into Gaza last October than halting it.

“As diverse as we could possibly be as a brand and a business, and celebrate diversity and inclusion… That’s one of the reasons why I took the job because I believe in an incredible American icon and the transformation and the opportunity to contribute positively to a very divisive society.”

He goes on to say that “politics and politicians can only do so much… but business can be a significant force for good and not just because it’s the right thing to do, it’s the right thing for the business itself, being inclusive I think is a critical component.”

Harley has a problem and his name is Jochen Zeitz. No one can credibly argue that this guy isn’t a far left activist. In my view it’s clear that he’s telling us he took the job to transform Harley into a woke company. Customers, workers and dealers reaching out to me are angry. Harley’s board has a very limited window to act before permanent damage is done to the brand.
