Creation vs Evolution: The Bombardier Beetle Challenge [Full Thread]
Post Date: 2018-02-09 14:59:08 by A K A Stone
128 Comments
Bombardier beetles made the news again this week. Creation scientists have long used them to challenge evolutionary theory. Can the Darwinians fight back? Watch a funny video on National Geographic of a barfing toad. The toad made the mistake of sneaking up on a bombardier beetle and snatching it with its tongue before the beetle could fire its weapons. It’s not hard to imagine what happened inside the toad’s stomach, because a few minutes later, the toad gags and vomits out the beetle, practically turning its stomach inside out to get rid of the pest which, though sticky with gastric juices, is none the worse for wear and crawls away. The amazing bombardier beetle is the ...

...NBC analyst Tony Dungy...has come under fire [by anti-Christian fascists] for stating Nick Foles would “play well because his Christian faith would allow him to play with confidence” before the understudy quarterback led Eagles to victory. Dungy, a Hall of Fame member and former Bucs and Colts head coach, spoke on air during the game about the faith of Foles, who has said he wants to be a pastor for high school students after his career concludes. Himself an outspoken Christian, Dungy spent much of Tuesday responding to Twitter critics [aka anti-Christian bigots] who don’t see how Foles’ religious beliefs helped him defeat the Patriots. “NBC pays me to express ...

Dumbed-Down Security Briefings Still Too Difficult for Trump to Read
Post Date: 2018-02-09 11:36:04 by Willie Green

When Donald Trump was elected president, it quickly became obvious that the traditional national-security briefing a person in his position receives daily would be well beyond his zone of proximal development. The briefings were slimmed down in length, chopped up into easy-to-digest bullet points, and decorated with lots of graphs and pictures. Alas, the Washington Post reports, even the kiddie version of the presidential brief has proven too challenging. Now, Trump gets his briefing verbally. Trump, the Post reports, “has opted to rely on an oral briefing of select intelligence issues” because reading the brief — which every president has been able to do since its existence ...

Bette Midler Jokes About Rand Paul Being Violently Assaulted “Where’s Rand Paul’s neighbor when we need him?” Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com - February 9, 2018 Bette Midler joked about Rand Paul being violently assaulted when she sardonically tweeted, “Where’s Rand Paul’s neighbor when we need him?” during the Kentucky Senator’s effort to hold up the budget vote last night. Paul managed to block the vote past a midnight deadline that technically meant the government shut down for a short time, with the Senator insisting that an amendment be added to reign in out of control spending. A two year budget deal was subsequently approved by the ...

The United States Hypocrisy On ‘Political Intervention’ In Elections

The United States government has interfered with more elections than any other government on the face of the earth. But suddenly, the US is grandstanding and pretending it matters that other nations use the exact same tactics. “Ah, the peddler propaganda!” says Joe Joseph with The Daily Sheeple while reading a headline declaring that Russians penetrated U.S. voter systems. “Say it ain’t so! A clandestine operation by a foreign government here in the United States? No. Couldn’t be!” he said sarcastically. The overly biased and left-leaning media attempted to portray this “interference” as a big deal. But as always, propaganda is easy to break ...
President Trump Said in 2015 that He Never Had Flu Shots and Never Had the Flu. Meanwhile Everyone Else Being Pressured to Get These Shots [Full Thread]

By B.N. Frank My deepest condolences to all who have lost loved ones because of “The Flu.” Because there is so much illness right now in the U.S, there has been much debate whether flu shots are effective, not effective, or even harmful. President Trump is known for saying many colorful things. What many haven’t heard is what he said about flu shots in 2015. The flu shot is the greatest scam in medical history, created by Big Pharma to make money off vulnerable people and make them sick. I’ve never had one. And thus far I’ve never had the flu. I don’t like the idea of injecting bad stuff into your body. And that’s basically what they do. ...
Surveillance Video Catches Cops Brutally Attack Innocent Elderly Man & Then Lie to Arrest Him

Long Island, NY — An innocent elderly man was yanked from his front porch, thrown down stairs, and then brutally attacked by those who claim to protect and serve. Then, after he was permanently injured, police charged him with a crime. Robert Besedin, the 72-year-old Air Force veteran has since filed a federal lawsuit against police after he said two officers “pushed him, grab him by his neck, hurled him down four steps and body slammed him to the ground.” The force with which the officers attacked Besedin was so brutal that it knocked his hearing aids from his ears. After the officers savagely attacked the innocent elderly man, he was arrested, brought to ...

San Diego, CA — A young entrepreneur, with the foresight to target her audience, sold a record-breaking amount of cookies over the weekend in only six hours. Knowing that marijuana often carries the side-effect of making people hungry, a 9-year-old girl set up her cookie enterprise right outside of a marijuana dispensary. The dispensary, likely seeing the potential for a mutually beneficial arrangement between the two businesses, then put out an Instagram post with the scout in an adorable picture, holding several boxes of cookies. “Get some Girl Scout Cookies with your GSC today until 4 p.m.!

The Senate Budget Deal Proves Republicans Love Government Spending

The GOP leadership cheers on a bipartisan spending spree.Warning: This post contains numbers that may upset anyone who dreams of a smaller government. With the Senate budget deal announced yesterday, congressional Republicans have proved that they aren't merely big spenders: They bear primary responsibility for Washington's complete lack of fiscal responsibility. At the same time, they have reaffirmed the fact that bipartisanship means a determination to spend us into oblivion. The bipartisan budget deal that the senators proclaimed so proudly yesterday would add $300 billion over two years to discretionary spending, not counting emergency funds and other add-ons. It would yet ...
Jeff Sessions' Advice to Pain Patients: 'Take Some Aspirin' and 'Tough It Out'

The attorney general thinks people should suffer needlessly, just like John Kelly.Attorney General Jeff Sessions is a well-known admirer of Nancy Reagan's recommendation that kids "just say no" to drugs. It turns out he applies that advice not only to curious teenagers but also to people suffering from severe pain. "I am operating on the assumption that this country prescribes too many opioids," Sessions said during a speech at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tampa yesterday. "I mean, people need to take some aspirin sometimes and tough it out a little. That's what Gen. Kelly—you know, he's a Marine—[he] had surgery on his hands, painful ...

The US-led coalition fighting ISIS in Syria conducted air and artillery strikes against pro-regime forces in Syria on Wednesday, killing an estimated 100 pro-regime fighters, according to a coalition statement. The coalition described its action -- which if confirmed could represent the largest number of pro-regime casualties inflicted by the US-led coalition -- as carried out in "self defense." Syrian state news agency SANA described the action as an "aggression" by the coalition against "popular forces" who were fighting ISIS and the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces. The attack had left "scores of persons dead and others injured" and caused ...

(CNN)Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is preventing a two-year budget deal from passing, as the White House advised federal agencies to prepare for the government to start shutting down at midnight. Congressional negotiators were scrambling earlier Thursday to lock in enough votes in the House, and that was before Paul, a Republican, made public his dissatisfaction with the deal, which would raise government spending, avert a government shutdown and lift the debt ceiling. A senior administrative official said the White House is instructing agencies to begin shutdown preparations in the event that Congress fails to pass a budget before the midnight deadline. Paul is pushing for an amendment to ...

While concerns over Russian penetration into the political system in the 2015-16 election cycle continue to percolate, allegations of other such penetrations continue to gain steam.

That penetration involved the Clinton Foundation, William Douglas Campbell insists, and the Obama administration knew it:See Also: Reports: White House knew of domestic abuse allegations against Porter months agoAn FBI informant connected to the Uranium One controversy told three congressional ...
Lindsey Vonn's dog becomes hilarious meme after 24-hour trip to South Korea

Lindsey Vonn had a challenging trip this week to the Winter Olympics in South Korea. The star skier tweeted that her plane had been hugely delayed, turning what is approximately a 14- hour trip (depending on the route) into a 24-hour disaster. Though she didn’t have all the answers, she tried to explain what she did know to her followers. She said she and the other passengers eventually made it to South Korea. And while this would be a difficult trip by herself, she had a companion with her as well: her dog, Lucy. At first, that was not an issue. But a photo of Vonn and her dog after the pair made it to South Korea tells a hilariously different story. Poor Lucy looks a bit ...
Ohhh: "Intelligence" That Trump Cavorted With Prostitutes In Russia, and That the FSB Had Kompromat on Him, Was First Claimed in Cody Shearer's Memo, Before Migrating to the "Steele Dossier"

I've earlier speculated that, given that Hillary's disreputable-to-the-point-of-absurdity "researchers" Sidney Blumethal and Cody Shearer were actually the major ghostwriters of what we call the "Steele Dossier," and that Christopher Steele was brought on mainly as a Front Man, a "cleanskin," whose name slapped upon the Blumenthal/Shearer joint production would lend it a veneer of credibility that the names Blumenthal and Shearer would not. Allegation laundering, I'm speculating. This is just a speculation. I don't have any facts that establish it, only that suggest it as a possibility. Such as the now-admitted fact that Shearer and Blumenthal ...

EFF founder and internet activist John Perry Barlow has died

John Perry Barlow has one of those resumes that seems too surreal to possibly be true. Entertainment sites are currently lamenting the loss of a poet turned Grateful Dead lyricist. Political sites are mourning the death of a lifelong activist. For tech sites such as ours, however, he’ll be forever remembered as the co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation — arguably the most influential organization for internet civil liberties. EFF Executive Director Cindy Cohn announced Barlow’s passing at age 70 in a blog post today, noting, “It is no exaggeration to say that major parts of the Internet we all know and love today exist and thrive because of Barlow’s ...
FDA Just Falsely Declared Kratom to Be an Opioid—Ensuring Big Pharma a Lifetime of Profit
Post Date: 2018-02-08 10:36:48 by Deckard
4 Comments
In one of the most ignorant and corrupt decisions to ever come from the Food and Drug Administration, the government agency has declared the kratom plant to be an opioid. Illustrating their servitude to the pharmaceutical industry, the move will only serve to increase the already horrendous epidemic of opioid overdoses and make criminals out of entirely innocent people. Because kratom has similar effects as opioids—which happen to be vastly safer and milder—the FDA declared it to be a dangerous opioid drug. Kratom is not an opioid. Opiates are derived from poppies and opioids are man-made opiates. Both opiates and opioids depress the respiratory system and are deadly in this ...

Last Saturday afternoon in Washington, D.C. an aide to Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic Cathedral in D.C. He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's Mass, and asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint. The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over some of Pelosi's views." Pelosi's aide then said, "Look, I'll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 to you if you'll just tell the congregation you see Pelosi as a saint." The ...

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Former President George W. Bush said on Thursday that “there’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled” in the 2016 American presidential election, forcefully rebutting fellow Republican Donald Trump’s denials of Moscow trying to affect the vote. While never mentioning President Trump by name, Bush appeared to be pushing back on Trump’s attempts to have warmer relations with Russia, as well as his comments on immigration. The White House did not immediately comment on Bush’s remarks. “There’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled,” Bush said at a talk in Abu Dhabi, the capital ...
Tim Allen Is Back In Spite Of PC Culture: ‘It’s Like ’30’s Germany’

Famous non-liberal Tim Allen is coming back with a vengeance. After months of being out of the spotlight, he’s decided to put the politically correct “safe space” culture under the microscope in a new TV show. In an interview last year, the comedian likened the liberal atmosphere in Hollywood to that of Nazi Germany. “You’ll get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody believes,” he said, admitting he was afraid to reveal he attended Trump’s inauguration. “It’s like ’30’s Germany.” But Allen is refusing to allow the left to censor or silence him. Last year, Allen and his fans were blindsided by ABC’s ...
