Trump Announces His Plan To Secure Free Speech & Eliminate Big Tech Censorship In 2024
Trump says he’d ban government from labeling speech as misinformation - Former President Trump said that he’d ban the U.S. government from labeling any domestic speech as “misinformation” or “disinformation” if he returns to the White House. -- “I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business or person to censor, limit, categorize or impede the lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as mis- or disinformation,” Trump said in a pre-taped video shared with the New York Post.
The former president also said he’d fire federal bureaucrats who he perceived to have engaged in domestic censorship.
“Directly or indirectly, whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are,” he said of those he’d seek to fire.
Trump further pledged to direct the Department of Justice to “aggressively prosecute” the alleged censorship.
Among other initiatives, the former president called for the federal government to break ties with any nonprofits and academic programs that are aimed at tacking mis- and disinformation.
“If any U.S. university is discovered to have engaged in censorship activities or election interferences in the past, such as flagging social media content for removal of blacklisting, those universities should lose federal research dollars and federal student loan support for a period of five years, and maybe more,” he said.
The Biden administration has sought to clamp down on the rampant spread of disinformation, particularly regarding the coronavirus pandemic.
“The unvaccinated are responsible for their own choices. But those choices have been fueled by dangerous misinformation on cable TV and social media,” President Biden said last year.
Trump’s comments about censorship come amid the release of the “Twitter Files,” installments which new Twitter CEO Elon Musk says will reveal information about “free speech suppression” on the platform before he bought it.
Since his takeover of the social media app, Musk moved to reinstate Trump’s account, which was banned following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
The former president said in his video that the most recent release confirms a “censorship cartel” and “a sinister group of deep state bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants, left-wing activists and depraved corporate news media” at work to censor Americans’ speech.
Trump announced his 2024 bid to reclaim the presidency last month.

13 Innovative, Portable Homes for Travel or Leisure
From expanding campers to easy-to-assemble houses, these tiny homes will make you want to downsize. As space gets harder to find and house prices rise, people are looking to small homes as a solution to the housing crisis! These 13 designs prove that sizedoes not matter. The Pros and Cons of a Tiny Home - The so-called “Tiny Home Movement” means different things for different people. Some homebuyers like the financial advantages of owning a tiny property. There’s less mortgage debt or often no housing debt at all. And reducing housing expenses lets people save for other goals, like retirement or a kid’s college education.
Others enjoy the “hassle free” factor of tiny homes, of not having to fix, maintain and clean as much, or not needing to furnish so many rooms.
And still other tiny home dwellers say their biggest joy is in the freedom they get – freedom from having so much stuff cluttering their homes; freedom from worrying about expensive housing bills; and even the freedom to pick up and travel whenever they want without being overly concerned about their homes while they are away.
In fact, some tiny homeowners actually travel with their homes, since some of these properties are mobile – and set on wheels.
Among the potential drawbacks, most tiny homes – by their very nature – don’t offer a spare bedroom for overnights guests. So if you have family or friends over for a visit, there probably won’t be a place for them to stay the night.
While many tiny home residents say they love their comfy quarters, there is a possibility, of course, of going stir crazy or feeling a bit too cramped. That can happen, though, in any almost any size home.
Lastly, there may be some financial or legal issues to address.
For example, you might have to get special approval from a city or town in order to build a tiny home, since many municipalities actually have a minimum building size, and a tiny home may not qualify.
Additionally, some banks may not offer mortgages on a tiny home, so you might need to come up with the cash to buy or build a tiny home outright.
Because tiny homes are so affordable – usually around $20,000 to $60,000, depending on location, size and other factors – most buyers do purchase or build these properties using cash, without a home loan, according to Fivecoat-Campbell.

When A Fly Lands On Your Food - The Ugly Facts
The common house fly (Musca domestica) has no venom, no stinger, and no fangs. It finds its food in a peaceful way—by rolling around in other animals' waste and garbage. With no teeth, the fly requires a liquid diet. This would be a problem, since a lot of food is solid, but the fly has a disgusting workaround: It spits and pukes on its meal. Compounds in its saliva and bile break down the food, making it as slurpable as a smoothie.
As the fly eats, it's usually also pooping—and if it's female, possibly laying eggs as well. Flies really are an absolute bonanza of disgustingness.
All of this would be gross, but ultimately harmless, if flies only ate soup. But they're opportunists. They eat rotting garbage and they eat animal feces, and in doing so they consume loads of pathogens.
"House flies are the movers of any disgusting pathogenic microorganism you can think of," Jeff Scott, an entomologist at Cornell University, told the Daily Mail. "Anything that comes out of an animal, such as bacteria and viruses, house flies can take from that waste and deposit on your sandwich."
Experts estimate that adult houseflies can transmit more than 100 different diseases and parasites, from Salmonella and tuberculosis to tapeworms.
Does this mean we should immediately throw out any food a fly has touched? Probably.
According to research initiated at Penn State Eberly College of Science and in collaboration with the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and other international institutions , houseflies tend to harbor pathogens on their legs, meaning even a brief touchdown on your tuna melt could very conceivably transmit any number of worrisome bacteria in an instant. It's better to keep picnic foods sealed until they're needed or to ask for a new dish if your local restaurant has any unsolicited, winged guests lurking around.

Why Your Clothes Shrink In The Wash & How To Prevent It
What causes clothes to shrink? Agitation and high temperatures in the washing and drying cycles can distort fabric and cause clothes to shrink. Washing fabrics, such as cotton, linen or wool, too vigorously can cause the fibers to tighten together and yield a shrunken garment. Hot water washing cycles and high-heat dryer settings can also damage the fabric and cause shrinkage.
How to keep clothes from shrinking - Incorporating the following laundry tips into your routine may help prevent your family’s favorite clothes from shrinking.
1. Check fabric care labels before you buy & before doing laundry
The first step to preventing your clothes from shrinking is to follow the laundry instructions on your garment’s care tag. Check the care tag not only before laundering, but also before purchasing new clothing so you know what to expect.
Checking the care tag for fabric type can give you an idea if the garment is prone to shrinking, such as cotton or linen, or if garments are already “pre-shrunk.” Some garments may be deemed as “dry clean only” and shouldn’t be cleaned in a washer. In addition, be mindful to pay attention to the recommended water temperature, laundry cycle and drying instructions. As a general rule, washing clothes in cold, gentle cycles with low-heat drying can help prevent your garments from shrinking.

2. Use cold water and the proper wash cycles
If you only remember one rule about how to avoid shrinking clothes, remember this: keep it cool. Clothes are much more likely to shrink when exposed to hot water or high dryer settings.
Washing clothes in cold water goes a long way toward preserving the “off-the-rack” size. Avoiding heavy duty cycles, fast spins and high-heat drying can also prevent shrinkage. Use delicate cycles instead, and place delicate clothes in a mesh laundry bag for added protection. When drying, consider a low-heat or air dry setting. When in doubt, always follow the instructions on your garment’s care tag.

3. Select the tumble dry or air dry setting
Drying your clothing on a tumble dry or air dry setting can help keep clothes from shrinking by minimizing wear to the fabric fibers. Your clothing’s care tag will provide the optimal temperature and dryer settings to help avoid shrinkage.
4. Avoid overdrying laundry
Overdrying and exposing your clothes to long cycles of high heat can damage the fabric and cause clothes to shrink. Instead, opt for tumble or air dry settings in shorter intervals in order to preserve your clothing.

5. Try air drying your clothes
Does air drying clothes help prevent shrinking? Yes. Instead of using your dryer, consider air drying your clothes for a fresh, natural drying alternative that helps prevent your clothes from shrinking.

Mysteries of the Last Ice Age - Full Documentary
In a race against developers in the Rocky Mountains, archaeologists uncover a unique fossil site packed with astonishingly well-preserved bones of mammoths, mastodons, and other giant extinct beasts. The discovery opens a highly focused window on the vanished world of the Ice Age in North America. - During construction in Colorado, a bulldozer dug up a tooth so huge it had to be held in two hands revealing intimate secrets of the life and death of North Americas most exotic and extreme creatures. Most tantalizing of all, the team unearths startling and controversial evidence of what may be the earliest humans ever to venture into the untamed wilderness of Ice Age America.
Mystery Of What Triggered The Last Ice Age May Have Been Solved - Two mysteries have been a head-scratcher for many paleoclimate experts: Where did the last ice age's ice sheets come from, and how did they grow so fast? A new study published in Nature Geoscience may have solved these mysteries, proposing an explanation. These findings could also be applied to other historic glacial periods.
The last glacial cycle began 116,000 years ago, and an enormous ice sheet covered the Northern Hemisphere. However, these sheets only took 10,000 years to grow and merge, which was surprising to scientists.
Scientists have previously struggled to explain the extensive ice sheets that covered the milder Northern Europe and Scandinavia – the warm water brought up by the North Atlantic Current should have made Scandinavia largely ice-free.
"The problem is we don't know where those ice sheets (in Scandinavia) came from and what caused them to expand in such a short amount of time," said Marcus Lofverstrom, lead author, in a statement.
The authors of the study developed a complex Earth-system model called the Community Earth System Model. This model could recreate early climate conditions from the recent glacial period in high spatial detail
The researchers found that ocean gateways in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago were vital in controlling the North Atlantic climate. This gateway then helped decide whether the ice sheets in Scandinavia grew or not. The models revealed that as long as the Canadian Arctic Archipelago remained open, the Northern Hemisphere was cooled sufficiently enough by the Earth’s orbital configuration to allow ice sheets to build up in Northern Canada and Siberia.
The research team also explored whether the marine ice sheets obstructed the waterways in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Normally, fresh Arctic and North Pacific waster is routed through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago – in this scenario, it was actually diverted east of Greenland. The diversion caused weakening and freshening of the North Atlantic deep circulation, cooler conditions in Scandinavia, and sea ice expansion.
"Using both climate model simulations and marine sediment analysis, we show that ice forming in northern Canada can obstruct ocean gateways and divert water transport from the Arctic into the North Atlantic," Lofverstrom said, "and that in turn leads to a weakened ocean circulation and cold conditions off the coast of Scandinavia, which is sufficient to start growing ice in that region."
"These findings are supported by marine sediment records from the North Atlantic, which show evidence of glaciers in northern Canada several thousand years before the European side," said Diane Thompson, study author. "The sediment records also show compelling evidence of a weakened deep ocean circulation before the glaciers form in Scandinavia, similar to our modeling results."
Overall, the experiments may suggest that the marine ice formation in Northern Canada was necessary for Scandinavian glaciers to form.
"It is possible that the mechanisms we identified here apply to every glacial period, not just the most recent one," Lofverstrom said. "It may even help explain more short-lived cold periods such as the Younger Dryas cold reversal (12,900 to 11,700 years ago) that punctuated the general warming at the end of the last ice age."

How Long It Takes To Get Frostbite
What is frostbite? - Frostbite is considered a type of burn that happens when the skin and tissues below it begin to freeze. It usually occurs when skin is exposed to below-freezing temperatures for a certain amount of time, which varies based on the temperature and how fast the wind is blowing (windchill). How long does it take to get frostbite?- The colder the temperature, the faster you can get frostbite. And when you add wind and water to the mix, the process speeds up even more. Every person and every situation are different, but here are a few guidelines for understanding the risk for frostbite:
When the temperature is zero degrees Fahrenheit or below, it takes about 30 minutes for exposed skin to get frostbite.
At 15 degrees below zero with even a little bit of wind, frostbite is possible within 15 minutes.
What does frostbite look like?
In more mild cases of frostbite, the skin appears pale blue or grayish. In severe cases, red and swollen blisters can develop after rewarming the affected areas. Afterward, skin can turn dark purple or black if tissues are badly damaged.
Early symptoms of frostbite
Your fingers, toes, nose, ears, cheeks and chin are the most common places for frostbite. Knowing the early symptoms can help you treat frostbite fast and have the best recovery outcome. Here’s what the first signs of it look and feel like:
Your skin starts to become cold
You may experience a pins-and-needles sensation
You have a loss of feeling (numbness)
Your skin turns white or a pale, bluish gray
Your skin feels stiff or rubbery to the touch
Stages of frostbite
There are three stages of frostbite: mild, superficial and severe. These are determined by how deeply your skin and tissues have frozen. Mild frostbite (frostnip)
Mild frostbite is when your skin has been irritated by the cold, causing pain or numbness. You may feel a tingling, prickly sensation when the skin warms again. Mild frostbite is temporary and can be treated at home (we cover treatment remedies below).
Superficial frostbite
When skin layers have frozen farther down, it’s considered superficial frostbite. In addition to the pain and numbness of mild frostbite, at this stage your skin also becomes slightly discolored, turning light blue or grayish. When the skin is gently rewarmed, you may experience a prickly, burning sensation, swelling, and the area might feel warm (a sign it’s been affected more seriously). 12-36 hours later you may notice fluid-filled blisters. You can treat superficial frostbite with home remedies right when it happens, but you should seek medical care soon after rewarming the skin.
Deep frostbite (severe)
Deep frostbite (the most severe kind) means that all the layers of your skin and the tissues beneath it have frozen significantly. When this happens, your skin turns white or a bluish gray, and is numb to feelings of cold or pain. It may be stiff and rubbery when touched, and your joints and muscles may have difficulty working. After rewarming the skin, fluid-filled blisters may appear within 24-48 hours, and the damaged skin will turn black.
Severe frostbite has longer-term affects and requires immediate medical attention – sometimes involving hospitalization. In the most critical cases, tissues are seriously damaged and amputation may be needed if blood flow to the skin is permanently blocked. In other instances of severe frostbite, patients may avoid amputation, but experience lifelong numbness in the affected areas.

Humans Are Growing A Lot Taller - Record Speed In The Last Century
The breakthrough that reveals why humans are getting taller -
Sensor in the brain tells the body that ‘we’re great here so grow quickly’, scientists say - The mystery of why human beings have rocketed in height over the past century has been explained by the discovery of a sensor in the brain, scientists have said. “Average height in the UK rose by 3.9in (10cm) during the 20th Century,” increasing by “up to 7.8in in other countries as nutritional health improved”, said the BBC.
“But exactly how this happens has never been understood,” the broadcaster added.
Now, a study published in Nature has found that a brain receptor called MC3R is the pivotal link between food, puberty and growth.
According to Professor Stephen O’Rahilly, a researcher at the University of Cambridge and one of the study’s authors, the receptor essentially “tells the body we’re great here, we’ve got lots of food, so grow quickly, have puberty soon and make lots of babies”.
“It’s not just magic,” he told the BBC. “We have the complete wiring diagram for how it happens.”
The study, which also involved experts at Queen Mary University of London, the University of Bristol, the University of Michigan and Vanderbilt University, also found that when the “receptor doesn’t function at its optimum” people “can be shorter and start puberty later”, Metro said.
“Using the genetic make-up of 500,000 volunteers,” the paper added, researchers found “that children with gene mutations that affect the brain receptor were all shorter and lighter in weight than others”.
“There is an awful lot about the brain we still do not know”, said The Mirror, suggesting that the study “could lead to further development of drugs for children with delayed growth and puberty starting much later.
“More understanding of the receptor won’t mean that we can make ourselves taller,” the paper added, explaining how “that all still depends on genes”. However, “it could help people with chronic illnesses who need to build up muscle”.
O’Rahilly agreed, telling the BBC that “future research should investigate if drugs that selectively activate the MC3R might help redirect calories into muscle and other lean tissues, with the prospect of improving the physical functionality of such patients”.
According to Business Insider, the Netherlands is home to the world’s tallest people, with an average height of five feet eight inches. The tallest man in the world is Sultan Kosen, from Turkey, who “clocks in at 251cm”, which equates to eight feet two and a half inches, the site added.

Videos Go Viral of Young Iranian Protestors Smacking Turban Hats Off Islamic Clerics' Heads
Iranians Knock Turbans Off Clerics' Head As Part Of Anti-Hijab Protests - This unique display of contempt for the country's religious establishment comes as international concern grew over Iran's response to the demonstrations. As protests over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini continue in Iran, young Iranians are now filming themselves knocking the turbans off the heads of clerics. Several videos are being widely shared on social media in which schoolgirls and boys are seen knocking clerics' turbans and running away as part of the ongoing anti-hijab protests.
In one viral clip, a young girl can be seen running up behind a cleric walking down a nearly empty street and knocking his turban off. While the girl did not stop to look back and continued running, the cleric was seen stooping to pick up his turban.
"Removing the turbans of clerics has turned into an act of protest after regime killed hundreds of innocent protesters," the caption of the video read.
In another clip, a cleric was seen picking up his turban from the middle of the road. "Removing the turbans of clerics has turned into a daily routine for Iranian teenagers," the post's caption read. AlinejadMasih: One of the girl says; in Iran mullahs behead and execute us if we say NO to forced hijab or forced Islam, we just knock their turbans to show our anger.
Hundreds of people have been reportedly killed by Iranian security forces during the protests which began following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died while in the custody of Iran's morality police after being arrested for not wearing her hijab properly.
However, despite authorities warning protesters they should leave the streets, demonstrations have shown no sign of abating. Social media images have shown schoolgirls tearing up pictures of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the late founder of the 1979 Islamic revolution Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and burning their veils.
Students in several universities in Tehran and other Iranian cities have also been protesting for weeks since Ms Amini's death. They have been chanting anti-regime slogans for which they have been reportedly killed in violent protests which have rocked the core of the Islamic rule in Iran.

How to Save Someone from Choking
If a choking person can cough forcefully, let the person keep coughing. Coughing might naturally remove the stuck object. If a person can't cough, talk, cry or laugh forcefully, give first aid to the person. The American Red Cross recommends the following steps:
Give five back blows. Stand to the side and just behind a choking adult. For a child, kneel down behind. Place your arm across the person's chest to support the person's body. Bend the person over at the waist to face the ground. Strike five separate times between the person's shoulder blades with the heel of your hand.
Give five abdominal thrusts. If back blows don't remove the stuck object, give five abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver.
Alternate between five blows and five thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.
Some sources only teach the abdominal thrust. It's OK not to use back blows if you haven't learned the back-blow technique. Both approaches are acceptable for adults and children older than age 1.
To give abdominal thrusts to someone else:
Stand behind the person. For a child, kneel down behind. Place one foot slightly in front of the other for balance. Wrap your arms around the waist. Tip the person forward slightly.
Make a fist with one hand. Put it just above the person's navel.
Grasp the fist with the other hand. Press into the stomach, also called the abdomen, with a quick, upward thrust — as if trying to lift the person up. For a child, use gentle yet firm pressure to avoid damaging the internal organs.
Give five abdominal thrusts. Check if the blockage has been removed. Repeat as needed.
If you're the only rescuer, give back blows and abdominal thrusts first. Then call 911 or your local emergency number for help. If another person is there, have that person call for help while you give first aid.
If the person becomes unconscious, start standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with chest compressions and rescue breaths.
If the person is pregnant or if you can't get your arms around the stomach, give chest thrusts:
Put your hands at the base of the breastbone, just above the joining of the lowest ribs.
Press hard into the chest with a quick thrust. This is the same action as the Heimlich maneuver.
Repeat until the blockage is removed from the airway.
To clear the airway of an unconscious person:
Lower the person onto the floor, with the back on the floor and arms to the sides.
Clear the airway. If you can see the object, reach a finger into the mouth to sweep out the object. Never finger sweep if you can't see the object. You risk pushing the blockage deeper into the airway. This is very risky with young children.
Begin CPR if the person still doesn't respond. If the airway is still blocked, use chest compressions such as those that are used in CPR to remove the stuck object. Only use two rescue breaths per cycle. Recheck the mouth regularly for the object.
To clear the airway of a choking infant younger than age 1:
Sit and hold the infant facedown on your forearm. Rest your forearm on your thigh. Hold the infant's chin and jaw to support the head. Place the head lower than the trunk.
Thump the infant gently but firmly five times on the middle of the back. Use the heel of your hand. Point your fingers up so that you don't hit the back of the infant's head. Gravity and the back thumps should release the blockage.
Turn the infant faceup on your forearm if breathing hasn't started. Rest your arm on your thigh. Place the infant's head lower than the trunk.
Give five gentle but firm chest compressions with your fingers. Place two fingers just below the nipple line. Press down about 1 1/2 inches. Let the chest rise between each compression.
Repeat the back thumps and chest compressions if breathing doesn't start. Call for emergency medical help.
Begin infant CPR if the airway is clear but the infant doesn't start breathing.
If you're alone and choking:
Call 911 or your local emergency number right away. Then, give yourself abdominal thrusts, also called the Heimlich maneuver, to remove the stuck object.
Place a fist slightly above your navel.
Grasp your fist with the other hand.
Bend over a hard surface. A countertop or chair will do.
Shove your fist inward and upward.
To prepare yourself for these situations, learn the Heimlich maneuver and CPR in a certified first-aid training course.
