Massachusetts Elementary Schools Ban Talk of Weapons, Shooting Gestures

Elementary-school students in Somerset, Mass., will face new rules around discussing and gesturing weapons when they return to class next week.

“So there have been several cases where kids on the bus are making gestures and we didn’t have anything in there to discipline them,” Chace Street Elementary School principal Timothy Plante told the school committee. 

Now, students will be prohibited from gesturing the use of weapons and from talking about guns or knives on school grounds, WBZ-TV reported. It was not immediately clear what the punishment would be for students who violate the new rules.

Plante said staff at all three of the town’s elementary school requested the new rules in an effort to curb school violence.

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

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...

The Dark Ages - Where did 300 Years Go?

Image
“The Phantom Time Hypothesis: Did 300 Years of History Never Happen?” A growing body of alternative historians and critical chronologists question the conventional timeline of Western civilization, especially surrounding the so-called Dark Ages (circa 614–911 AD). This period, often described as a historical void—where few records, innovations, or artifacts exist—has led some to believe that the missing clarity isn’t due to lost history, but fabricated history . This idea, known as the Phantom Time Hypothesis, suggests that nearly 300 years were artificially inserted into the timeline by medieval rulers, particularly under Holy Roman Emperor Otto III and Pope Sylvester II, to legitimize their reign as taking place during the anticipated “millennium” year—1000 AD. Supporters of this theory point out glaring inconsistencies: architectural styles appearing centuries before their time, gaps in archaeological layers, and duplicated historical records between the Roman and Byzantine periods....
