Death toll from Turkey, Syria earthquake tops 47,000

The death toll from the massive earthquake that hit parts of Turkey and Syria on February 6 continues to rise as more bodies are retrieved from the rubble of demolished buildings.

Staged Arrests and Manufactured Outrage: Is the Anti-ICE Movement Just a Political Theater Script?

Scott Jennings CLASHES With Tara Palmeri,  Says VIOLENCE Is a LEFTWING Problem | RISING When CNN’s Scott Jennings recently described Democrat anti-ICE protests as “porn for their base,” he wasn’t exaggerating—he was peeling back the curtain on a growing tactic: the deliberate use of lawbreaking and confrontation as a tool for public relations, political branding, and campaign fundraising. What looks like resistance is increasingly being seen as a carefully rehearsed performance . Prominent progressive lawmakers and activist influencers are being filmed “resisting” ICE agents, blocking vehicles, or chaining themselves to detention centers—all with camera crews conveniently positioned to catch every dramatic angle. These aren’t spontaneous acts of civil disobedience—they’re made-for-viral moments , ready for social media blasts, donation links, and campaign ad reels by sundown. Critics argue this behavior isn’t just performative—it’s calculated incitement . The goal? Stoke outrage, b...

Man who let deadly snakes bite him 200+ times could be key to new antivenom Scientists have developed a groundbreaking broad-spectrum antivenom using antibodies from a man in Wisconsin, Tim Friede , who endured over 200 venomous snake bites (and hundreds more self-injections) over nearly two decades unco.edu +15 smithsonianmag.com +15 washingtonpost.com +15 . From species such as king cobras, black mambas, and rattlesnakes, this extreme exposure triggered his immune system to produce rare, broadly reactive antibodies. Researchers at Columbia University (led by Peter Kwong) and Centivax (with Jacob Glanville) isolated two of these potent antibodies. When combined with the drug varespladib , the cocktail successfully protected mice against venom from 19 highly dangerous snakes , fully neutralizing 13 species and partially neutralizing the remaining six cen.acs.org +10 nature.com +10 wsj.com +10 . This represents a potential leap forward from today's antivenoms, which are typically...

🚨 BREAKING: Israel OPENS Iran Prison’s  Gate As Pahlavi Announces Transition Government With Israel reportedly bombing open the gate of Iran’s notorious Evin Prison —well-known for holding political dissidents and dual nationals—independent analysts are asking: Was this a symbolic act meant to liberate political prisoners, or a strategic move to aid in a clandestine regime destabilization? Simultaneously, Reza Pahlavi , exiled Crown Prince of Iran, has announced the formation of a transition government in waiting , positioning himself as a ready leader for a post-Khamenei era en.wikipedia.org +14 thesun.co.uk +14 timesofindia.indiatimes.com +14 . Here’s the operative question being posed: Is this synchronized action more than coincidence? Prison gate, prison leaks : Striking the gate, not the prison, suggests a calculated effort to allow political prisoners—especially regime critics and potential figureheads—to escape or be freed, thereby boosting Pahlavi’s transitional narrat...
