March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Mosquitos capable of spreading a potentially deadly virus have been found in Britain for the first time since 1945.

The culex modestus species was found breeding in ‘significant’ numbers at several marshlands sites in Kent and Essex during 2010 and 2011.

 
The insects are carriers of the West Nile virus, which can cause neurological disorders and even death.

 
They are thought to have arrived via foreign ships but the virus has not yet been detected, say scientists.

 
‘It’s not clear how long this species of mosquito has been in the UK,’ said Nick Golding, of Oxford University and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
 

‘It’s not too worrying at the moment but it’s something to watch.’

 
A handful of culex modestus were last spotted in Britain on the south coast more than 60 years ago.

 
Experts suspect the species may be behind recent outbreaks of West Nile virus in southern Europe.

 
Almost 100 cases were recorded by January – more than two-thirds were in Greece and the rest in Hungary, Italy and Romania.

 
One strain was imported into New York from Israel and Tunisia in 1999 and led to an outbreak lasting more than ten years.

 
In continental Europe the mosquitos pass on the virus to both birds and humans when they feed on their blood.

 
‘However, in the UK the mosquitos biting habits and ability to transmit West Nile virus have yet to be investigated,’ added Miles Nunn, a CEH molecular parasitologist.   

 
The virus, commonly found in  Africa, the Middle East and West Asia is a ‘serious danger to the world’, says the World Health Organization.
