Beyond Meat has regained a bit of its meme mojo status, surging 93% on Tuesday. The food company known for its plant-based meat alternatives is having an incredible week, with shares surging more than 127% Monday in its best day ever after Roundhill Investments, which develops thematic ETFs, added the name to its Roundhill Meme Stock ETF (MEME). It continued that rally Tuesday after Beyond Meat announced a deal with Walmart to expand distribution to more stores across the U.S. It appears the ETF addition has unleashed a short squeeze with investors who bet against the stock forced to cover...

I found a body on the streets of Portland. 911 was called and it took them two hours to arrive. He was clutching tinfoil meaning he died of a fentanyl overdose.

The United States has informed the guarantor nations of the Gaza peace agreement of credible reports indicating an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas against the people of Gaza.

The guarantors demand Hamas uphold its obligations under the ceasefire terms. Should Hamas proceed with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire. The United States and the other guarantors remain resolute in our commitment...

My X account has been suspended for breaking X rules supposedly as being a fake account. I have been on X since it was Twitter, since 2012. I have appealed it asking what I was being suspended for (I had not seen their email to me yet telling me they did it because broke their rules by setting up a fake account) but afterwards my husband looked up my name to see if they really did that and he discovered there is someone on X using my username. He reported this person as a fake account but when it asked...

Somebody did something very naughty, and I need to know who did it. I'm very serious here. If I don't get an answer, nobody gets anything to eat before dinner. Except for some light snacks around three. And cocktails at five, of course — I'm not a monster. So I just read this morning that some terrible — but perhaps terribly clever — person did a small drone strike on the lead boat of toxic pixie and part-time female He-Man impersonator Greta Thunberg's Happy Fun Hamas Terrorist Relief Flotilla. Or did they? According to the flotilla, one of their vessels...

President Donald Trump appears to have finally drawn a line in the sand against the radical leftist, anti-American political chaos machine that George Soros has fueled with his ungodly billions over the years. Trump took to Truth Social August 27 to publicly lambast the leftist billionaire and called for criminal charges to be filed against: “George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son [Alex], should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America.” The president continued: “We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America...

On this week’s episode of “Come and Take It,” Sara examines the record of Texas Senator John Cornyn, who claims to be a close ally of President Donald Trump.

Hotel owners around the pyramid-shaped Mount Rtanj, in the east of the Balkan country, say that bookings are flooding in, with believers in the prophecy hoping that its purported mysterious powers will save them from the apocalypse. Adherents of the end-of-the-world scenario think the 5,100ft-high mountain, part of the Carpathian range, conceals a pyramidal building inside, left behind by alien visitors thousands of years ago. Arthur C Clarke, the British science fiction writer, reportedly identified the peak as a place of "special energy" and called it "the navel of the world". Doomsday cultists believe that it emits special energy that...

"The Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) has obtained new documents through a Department of Defense (DoD) request for proposal revealing the U.S. military’s funding of a controversial self-spreading vaccine program known as DARPA INTERCEPT.The documents reveal, say ICAN, that the animal trials were a success and that the next step of development is to inject terminally-ill humans next." (snip) The controversy around ‘self spreading’ vaccines comes from the fact that once released into a population, they cannot be controlled as to where the vaccine goes, who it reaches, or how it behaves. This goes against long-established public health principles that...
