Research shows that microplastics can be found anywhere—including in heart plaque buildup, which significantly increases risk of heart-related adverse events.
The issue of microplastic pollution in the environment is gaining increasing societal attention. Research indicates that once microplastics enter the human body, they can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, or even death. What kind of everyday behaviors raise the risk of ingesting microplastics?

Does China sense weakness in the White House? In recent days Chinese troops have been sent to Belarus for military exercises, dozens of Chinese military aircraft have been threatening Taiwan, and four Chinese military vessels were even detected off the coast of Alaska. So why has China decided to become so aggressive all of a sudden? Right now, Joe Biden is facing endless questions about his competency, and those around him are focused on fighting for his political survival. So could foreign adversaries such as China use this window of opportunity to do things that they may not normally attempt to do?

An insect farm that will create “sustainable” livestock feed is opening in the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan later this month.
NRGene Canada, an agricultural technology firm, announced the opening of its North American Insect Centre on July 30th. The company says its goal is to create livestock feed using insect protein from black soldier flies.

The Eurasian diplomacy of Putin, Xi, Modi and Orban has disrupted the celebration at the ongoing NATO summit. The CEO of the Atlantic Council calls the emergence of a new Eurasian security order a “disturbing backdrop”. In response, NATO intends to “go global”, with an expanded presence in the Asia-Pacific region. This delusional arrogance was called by a Chinese spokesman a “vestige of the Cold War”, and urged the leaders to “play a constructive role for global peace, stability and development.” NATO governments continue with provocations, despite losing popular support due to their failed and dangerous policies.
LGBTQ activists speak out against SB1414, a California bill which would make it a felony to purchase children for s*x. They claim it will affect LGBTQ people more.
When they tell you who they are, believe them.

The escalating fines and sanctions against conservative-leaning channels like CNews and C8 in France highlight the issue of free speech curtailment, with government-tied regulators like Arcom accused of stifling dissent and punishing any opinions against the left’s narrative.
In a troubling development for freedom of speech in France, CNews, a prominent news conservative-leaning channel owned by billionaire Vincent Bolloré, has been sanctioned again by Arcom, the independent public authority established by the French government to regulate media. The channel was fined €80,000 (about $87,000) for failing to meet its obligations during broadcasts. This latest round of penalties follows a December 2023 show during which guests stated that “immigration kills” without any immediate reaction from the host or other guests.

Despite the U.N. not officially declaring a famine in Gaza after Israel’s blockade, ten top U.N. experts have proclaimed that intentional starvation by Israel has led to a famine across the region. They cited the deaths of multiple children from malnutrition as undeniable evidence. Although Israel claims to have increased aid, severe shortages persist, with hundreds of aid trucks stuck in Egypt. The experts condemn this as a genocidal act, urging global intervention to stop the crisis and calling out the Biden administration for its complicity.

A major British multinational bank has launched a new “carbon footprint tracker” that monitors customers’ spending in order to crack down on purchases of meat and dairy products.
The system, launched by London-based NatWest Bank, scolds customers when they buy meat and dairy products and suggests their food purchases are causing “climate change.”
As part of NatWest’s smartphone banking app, users receive messages when they are caught buying traditionally farmed produce.

These are days of desperation for the Democrat party, headed for a well deserved defeat because the people have roundly rejected their socialist national agenda. Shown to be consummate and professional liars, few people believe a word they say, knowing they couldn’t tell the truth to save their lives. Like a trapped wild animal that will lash out in any direction, they are truly desperate, willing to do anything to cling to the governmental power they think is their birthright.

Polls are already asking voters whether they would support Hillary Clinton as president. Even international news outlets are posting this information. When did Hillary suddenly enter the race?
Democratic firm Bendixen & Amandi conducted a poll to see how the public would respond to a Clinton presidency. Of the 86% of respondents who watched the disastrous Trump-Biden debate, only 29% believe Biden is mentally fit to serve a second term. I suppose the state of the world was not enough to sway voters until they saw him on stage. Still, 33% of them believe Biden should still be the nominee, while 52% want him to step down to make room for a new candidate.

The Paris prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday it had launched a preliminary probe into allegations of illegal financing of far right National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen’s campaign for the 2022 presidential race, which she lost to Emmanuel Macron.
Here in America, we have been watching for some time now the lawfare waged against Donald Trump by the Biden administration, and it is a very effective and powerful tool. But lawfare exists in many other nations like, say, France for example. In an amazing display of coincidence and irony, Emmanuel Macron’s main rival, Marine Le Pen, a woman who has vexed him time and again, is now under investigation for ‘illicit campaign financing’. If convicted, she could serve jail time. C’est magnifique, Mr. President Macron, I am sure you had nothing to do with that.

You might recall the 1980 Surprise. Reagan running against Carter.
The Reagan team was accused of making a deal with the government of Iran to hold on to American hostages until after the election.
Because, if Jimmy Carter could secure their release just before Election Day, he could be swept back into office on a tide of enthusiasm.
The hostages were released, just after Reagan was inaugurated.
