Pro-Palestinian Activists Besiege NYC Synagogue: ‘Mamdani Era Has Already Begun’

The nighttime demonstration targeted an event about Jewish immigration to Israel hosted inside the synagogue, which has stood on East 67th Street since 1890 and also houses a prominent Jewish day school. Organizers from Pal-Awda New York and New Jersey, Within Our Lifetime, Jewish Voice for Peace New York, and allied anti-Israel groups promoted the rally as “No settlers on stolen land” and a “protest to stop the settler recruiting fair,” branding the program as a “settler recruiting” event.

Data Shows Social Media Sites Are the Primary Way Children Are Exposed to Porn

Evidence continues to emerge that children are being subjected to pornography at increasingly younger ages, due mostly to accidental exposure on social media sites that do not enforce restrictions on user-posted pornography.

A startling report published in August by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner in the United Kingdom surveyed 1,020 teenagers and young adults between the ages of 16 and 21. The survey found that 70% of respondents said they had viewed online porn, a substantial increase from the 63% when the survey was last taken in 2023. The data further showed that the age in which children are being exposed continues to get younger, with 13 being the average age of first viewing porn, and over a quarter (27%) saying that they first saw porn at age 11. A number of respondents even indicated that they had seen pornography at age “6 or younger.”

Potassium metabisulfite: The hidden preservative in processed foods

In today’s processed food landscape, preservatives are everywhere, extending shelf life, preventing spoilage and maintaining the appearance of freshness. But not all preservatives are created equal. Some, like potassium metabisulfite (K?S?O?), are widely used despite well-documented health risks, including allergic reactions, respiratory issues and long-term toxicity.

If you’ve ever experienced unexplained headaches, asthma flare-ups or skin irritation after eating certain foods or drinking wine, potassium metabisulfite could be the culprit. Yet, despite restrictions in some countries, it remains a common additive in the U.S. and beyond.

Evidence For The Global Flood Is All Around Us, But Secular Scientist Have Been Blinded To The Obvious

One minute a 23-foot-long, 2,200-pound dinosaur was chomping on a crocodile leg, the next minute it was catastrophically buried. Thousands of years later, paleontologists dug it up and dubbed it a new megaraptor species, Joaquinraptor casali.

This unique find of fragments of jaw, skull, forelimbs, legs, and tail vertebrae makes it “one of the most complete megaraptor specimens discovered so far” and a first to give direct evidence of what the carnivore ate: apparently “ancient ancestors of crocodiles” (referred to as crocodyliforms in the article), based on a leg bone found between the lower jaw bones of Joaquinraptor (the researchers do say that the bone could possibly have washed into the creature’s mouth after it died, but based on the position and the tooth marks in the bone, they think that is an unlikely interpretation).

Tehran taps run dry as water crisis deepens across Iran

Iran is grappling with its worst water crisis in decades, with officials warning that Tehran, a city of more than 10 million, may soon be uninhabitable if the drought gripping the country continues.

President Masoud Pezeshkian has cautioned that if rainfall does not arrive by December, the government must start rationing water in Tehran.

“Even if we do ration and it still does not rain, then we will have no water at all. They (citizens) have to evacuate Tehran,” Pezeshkian said on November 6.

Malta Prosecution of Christian Convert a Harbinger of LGBT Objectives in U.S.

In a case with long-term ramifications for the United States, Maltese Christian Matthew Grech has been charged with violating the Mediterranean country’s so-called “conversion therapy” ban for simply sharing his personal testimony of Christian conversion from an LGBT lifestyle in a broadcast interview. After three years of litigious persecution, the verdict in Grech’s case was postponed on Thursday at the last minute, and for the second time.

Australia’s rental market becomes the unwilling testing ground for digital national ID system

In a move that critics warn is a trojan horse for unprecedented state control, the Australian government is quietly transforming the nation’s rental market into a live-fire testing ground for its expansive digital identity system. Under the banner of convenience and security, a new federal pilot program will soon require prospective tenants to use a Digital ID and share their financial data through a government-backed framework. This initiative, announced by Finance Minister Katy Gallagher and Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil, represents a fundamental shift in the relationship between citizen and state, leveraging one of life’s most stressful necessities—finding a home—to normalize a system of digital authentication that promises to become inescapable.

‘No Reason to Worry’ Says German Govt as It Prepares for Conscription

The long talked about move comes as Berlin aims to create Europe’s strongest conventional army while Russia’s aggression in the east continues to cast a shadow of worry across the rest of the continent.

Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said, ““Other European countries, especially in the north, show that the principle of voluntary participation combined with attractiveness works – and I expect exactly the same in our country.”

The Emerging Problem of “AI Psychosis”

As more people turn to AI chatbots for emotional support and even as their therapists, a new and urgent concern is emerging at the intersection of AI and mental health: “AI psychosis” or “ChatGPT psychosis.”

This phenomenon, which is not a clinical diagnosis, has been increasingly reported in the media and on online forums like Reddit, describing cases in which AI models have amplified, validated, or even co-created psychotic symptoms with individuals. Most recently, there have been concerns that AI psychosis may be affecting an OpenAI investor.

100-Year-Old Veteran on Live TV: We Fought WW2 for Nothing, Britain Less Free Than in 1945

Royal Navy and Arctic Convoy veteran Alec Penstone told Britain’s ITV breakfast show “the sacrifice wasn’t worth” what the country has since become, mourning the loss of freedom he and his friends fought and died for.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Friday for a segment on the upcoming Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day on November 11th, Penstone was asked what the events commemorating fallen troops from the two World Wars meant, and what his message to the country now is. Far from the feel-good sentiments the piece had evidently been set up for, 100-year-old Penstone remarked: “I can see in my mind’s eye those rows and rows of white stones.
