A university in a prominent Scottish fishing sector cautions its students that a classic Ernest Hemingway novel contains “graphic fishing scenes” that may upset some readers. Students at the University of the Highlands and Islands are informed prior to their reading assignment that “The Old Man and the Sea” includes descriptive fishing passages, reported the Daily Mail, which obtained a copy of the warning through a public records act request. University of the Highlands declined The College Fix’s request for comment, but a university spokesman told the Mail: “Content warnings enable students to make informed choices.” Several professors told The...

'Thank you so much for sharing,' says a member of an online forum, discussing tips on how to create your own version of artificial intelligence 'chatbot' ChatGPT. Are there any plans to share your previous models?' It sounds innocent enough, but this is just one of dozens of dark web pedophile groups exchanging advice on how to build 'uncensored' chatbots that can produce reams of child porn. Chatbots are computer programs that use artificial intelligence (AI) to interact with humans. They have become increasingly sophisticated in recent years, with users able to ask them to generate lengthy pieces of text,...

Businessman and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates confirmed via social media early Tuesday evening that he tested positive for COVID-19.

Following a wave of trial results alternatively teasing, and questioning, the efficacy of the company’s vaccine – including the possibility that it might not be effective as a single-shot jab – new data from Johnson & Johnson purports to show the shot is surprisingly effective at preventing severe illness and reducing transmission in its current (single-dose) form.- Advertisement -An analysis of the company’s trial data by the FDA was released on Wednesday, two days before an FDA committee is expected to meet to discuss the safety and efficacy of the JNJ vaccine. According to the NYT, the jab could be...

•100% of the 35 studies to date report positive effects. Early treatment is more successful, with an estimated reduction of 84% in the effect measured using a random effects meta-analysis, RR 0.16 [0.08-0.33].

A new report from a number of reputable, PhD statisticians analyzes the suspicious floods of ballots trickling in following the November 3rd election, concluding all were in favor of Joe Biden. The report analyzes “vote dumps” – a “25,000+ vote differential between Presidential candidates, received/recorded at one time.” “The conclusion is that all we were able to find were net Biden Dumps,” the report summary notes. Analysis extends to states both won and lost by President Trump, including Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Several states experienced more than one...

Again, keep this graphic in mind on January 6th, when Vice President presides over the count of the Electoral College votes. Note that President Trump needs just three states (where there are alternate electoral votes) to win re-election outright. Hope is not gone. Keep praying.

The coronavirus is upending the global economy in a lot of ways. Many companies are allowing their employees to work remotely forever. Millions of Americans remain unemployed due to shutdowns and cutbacks. And the future is still very cloudy as to what shape a recovery will eventually take. Our latest visualization captures the state of the global economy on the eve of all the coronavirus disruption. The U.S. remains by far the largest economy in the world with a GDP of $21.43T or 24.42% of the entire globe. China’s economy grew from 2018 to 2019 to $14.34, but the country...

Wrapping up a three-day tour in Chicago, Phoenix and Cleveland Friday, Attorney General Bill Barr took on the media during an exclusive interview with Townhall. "They're basically a collection of liars. Most of the mainstream media. They're a collection of liars and they know exactly what they're doing. A perfect example of that were the riots. Right on the street it was clear as day what was going on, anyone observing it, reporters observing it, it could not have escaped their attention that this was orchestrated violence by a hardened group of street fighting radicals and they kept on excluding...

What do people willing to put money down on it say about Trump in the wake of last night's closing Republican National Convention? They're in. MarketWatch reports a huge swift swing toward President Trump, a record high. Betting odds have shifted dramatically toward President Donald Trump, though former Vice President Joe Biden remains narrowly ahead. The U.K. site Betfair reported the greatest convention period improvement of any candidate since election trading began on the Betfair Exchange in 2004, as Biden's odds are the longest since May. Betfair on Friday said the current odds imply a 51% chance of Biden winning....

The liberal mainstream media can’t hide this truth from the public forever.The latest international testing of hydroxychloroquine treatment of coronavirus shows countries that had early use of the drug had a 79% lower mortality rate than countries that banned the use of the safe malaria drug. This means that Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, the CDC, the liberal fake news media and the tech giants have been pushing a lie that has had deadly consequences!America has lost (reportedly) over 150,000 lives. That could have been lowered by possibly 80% if HCQ use would have been promoted in the US!We are...

Just woke up to an earthquake in Raleigh, NC. My Earthquake3D app says it was a 5.1 magnitude near Sparta. Friends on Facebook reporting it from mountains to sea. No news on it yet... so here you go!

Protesters have now blocked off Alameda Avenue and are forcing surprised motorists to drive over median and drive the other way. No sign of police

Smithsonian Pushes Racist Material Claiming ‘White Culture’ Is ‘Nuclear Family,’ ‘Self-Reliance,’ Being ‘Polite’The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is promoting material about “whiteness” and “white culture” on its website in an effort to “discuss race, equity, and inclusion.” “Issues of race are sometimes blatant and obvious, sometimes subtle and nuanced, and often difficult to confront. However, with commitment and caring, we can all play an important role in dismantling racism to create a more inclusive, just, and safe society. By committing to understanding and talking about race, all our lives will be better,” the NMAAHC wrote.......

Democrats hold a massive voter lead in states that require party registration, a gap of 12 million that could be key to whether the party takes control of the House and Senate in the fall midterm congressional elections, according to a new analysis. Overall, 40 percent of voters in 31 party registration states are Democrats, 29 percent are Republicans, and 28 percent are independents, according to a new report of July numbers from the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. The states include several with key battles over House seats such as California, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The lead...

This is a documentary exploring her death but also what brought her to reaching such infamy on the web, whether that is hatred because of her relationships or because of her politics. There are rapes and murders everyday, what makes this interesting is the life of it's own this case taken. I have plenty of videos more graphic then this but very interesting that even when stating the facts of the case that are the same reported on TV this film was removed from YOUTUBE, not once but 3 times and channel terminated. In Scandinavia, multiculturalism is a big issue...

I created this. It illustrates the dozens of systemic failures around the Florida school shooting. But the conclusion for liberals? "LET'S BLAME GUNS!" (This will serve as the basis for a long editorial. Keep your eyes peeled.)

The used car dealership known as CIA never seemed like an ordinary car dealership, with inventory, staff and expenses. On its Facebook page, CIA’s “staff” were fake personalities such as “James Falls O’Brien,” whose photo was taken from a hairstyle model catalog, and “Jade Julia,” whose image came from a web page called “Beautiful Girls Wallpaper.” If a customer showed up looking to buy a car from Cars International A, often referred to as CIA, Abid Awan — who was managing partner of the dealership while also earning $160,000 handling IT for House Democrats — would frequently simply go across...
