Authored by Ben Wilson via SaraACarter.com, The salon owner, who released footage of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) getting her hair done without a mask, has received over $310,000 on GoFundMe at the time of publication. Pelosi notably said owner Erica Kious had created a “set-up” to sting her but supporters across the nation have rallied behind the San Francisco small business owner on the crowd fundraising site. The video was released by Kious last week and showed a maskless Pelosi walking through the salon after thousands of hair shops across the nation have closed, many permanently and some were even jailed, as a result of the policies encouraged by Pelosi.

(Natural News) Current reports estimate that commercial food producers in the U.S. use about a billion pounds of chemicals on their crops. These chemicals could come in the form of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and the like, and health specialists are concerned that the rampant use of these chemicals places certain groups at a higher risk of pesticide-related health issues. In one of her recent articles published online, Liza Gross, an independent journalist specializing in science and health and a senior editor at the journal PLOS Biology, reported that about 70 percent of all U.S. produce harbors traces of pesticides. But more concerning is the fact […]

New dramatic video is circulating on Chinese social media purporting to show a recent fierce clash along the flashpoint Himalayan Sino-Indian Line of Actual Control (LAC). The video, which appears to show a major hand-to-hand combat incident between large groups of Chinese PLA and Indian soldiers, is of unknown date and origin but is being described as the “newest” among circulating border fight videos.

Authored by Shaurya Malwa via Decrypt.io, Traditional channels continue to dominate the estimated $2 trillion global money laundering racket instead of cryptocurrencies, a report says. In brief Money laundering via cryptocurrencies is not a preferred tool for criminals, a report said. Traditional methods like mules, cash businesses, and drug trade remain at the forefront. However, private cryptocurrencies and online marketplaces are an upcoming threat. According to a report by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), the role of cryptocurrencies in money laundering is overstated and unfounded, with fiat money still the most used method for such illicit purposes.

(Natural News) Scientists are still unsure about the health risks that microplastic ingestion poses to human health. But that’s starting to change thanks to recent studies. In a major breakthrough, researchers from the German Environment Agency (UBA) and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) found that 97 percent of the blood and urine samples of some 2,500 children tested, aged three to 17, had traces of microplastics, or the small pieces of plastic that occur as a consequence of plastic pollution. These results are troubling, suggesting that children are exposed to countless sources of microplastics inside the home. The results also indicate that more and […]

We imagine the mainstream American press would be the first to point out that there’s ‘no evidence’ that Beijing has been lying about its COVID-19 numbers, just like there’s ‘no evidence’ SARS-CoV-2 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Despite three “51% attacks” in a month, Ethereum Classic’s price has demonstrated strong resilience. Though down a bit for the past month, its persistence may indicate that security is not a top priority for investors rushing to join a bull run in the crypto market.

Israel on Tuesday began a week-long campaign of night curfews and school closures in dozens of towns and neighbourhoods with high coronavirus counts, hoping it will help stem a spike in cases. Most of the 40 zones subject to the partial lockdowns are identified with Israeli Arabs or ultra-Orthodox Jews, minorities where crowding has helped spread the pandemic.

That could disrupt celebrations of the Jewish high holy days, which run from […]

California’s record-breaking fire season is becoming absolutely devastating with wildfires raging across the Golden State as a weekend heatwave sent temperatures soaring (Californians used 47K MW at peak over the weekend, versus the 38K summer average).

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a joint statement on Tuesday that the Senate Republican coronavirus aid bill is going “nowhere.” As many coronavirus aid programs have expired, Schumer and Pelosi said that they would shoot down Senate Republicans’ targeted coronavirus relief bill. Pelosi has pushed her $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill. In comparison, Republicans hope to pass a slimmed-down version costing less than $1 trillion. The Democrat leaders said: As they scramble to make up for this historic mistake, Senate Republicans appear dead-set on another bill which doesn’t come close to addressing […]
After three months of record declines, total US consumer credit posted its first increase in the month of June since the covid crisis, rising by a modest $8.9 billion, a number which has now been revised to $11.4 billion, and in the latest consumer credit report released by the Fed, in July total consumer credit rose again, increasing by $12.9 billion. In total, July consumer credit rose at a 3.6% annual rate to $4.13 trillion according to the Fed’s latest G.19 statement.

United States lawmakers are in a deadlock over the proposed fifth funding package to help tackle the coronavirus pandemic.

The name of Joe Biden’s new designer merchandise line is “Believe in Better,” but the standard for campaign t-shirts is already abysmally low. Donald Trump’s reelection team sells “#BuildTheWall” tees and tops that quote Biden’s “You Ain’t Black” gaffe. Until recently, one could buy a “Baby Lives Matter” onesie for the low, low price of $18. (It has since been scrubbed from the site.) So Joe Biden, man of the people, dropped a new line in Vogue on Monday.

WASHINGTON ― Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday he would introduce and tee up a floor vote for a leaner Republican coronavirus relief bill but it’s not expected to contain the billions of dollars the defense industry has sought to diffuse the economic impact of the pandemic. The bill, likely to include some of the elements of the $1 trillion package the GOP proposed in July, is intended to break a weeks-long partisan stalemate. However, it has a slim chance of passage in the face of Democrats’ insistence for more sweeping aid. “The Senate Republican majority is introducing a new […]
You think things are bad now? Wait until election day. The Democrats are slowly informing the American public about their plans to take the reigns of power by any means necessary.
