I’m trying to run a serious news organization here, but some of you won’t let me! So yes, to everyone who has sent me this story and asked me to cover it, I give in…. Here you go folks, on a day where we have massive news breaking left and right, I interrupt that news to bring you a report that according to a recent scientific study, women’s farts smell worse than men’s farts. From the NY Post ladies and gentlemen: Women’s farts smell worse than men’s — and there’s science to back it up https://t.co/DF8AMOZFfH pic.twitter.com/4c38ZO4EuH — New York Post (@nypost) December 4, 2025 I don’t know why, but I am personally offended by this Scientific Study and I would challenge the author to a competition! I’m pretty sure I could even up these odds! Personally, I have always found women’s farts to be more of the “musty” variety, with men’s farts to be more “meaty” if that’s the correct word to use. So just like I disagreed with “The Science” when “The Science” was Dr. Fauci, I disagree with this Science too! The NY Post reveals that the “Scientist” behind this Scientific Study is known as “The King of Farts” (I also take great offense that he has stolen my nickname!) and not only that but he’s been working on this since 1998! On average, humans fart up to 23 times a day, but not all of those toots are created equal. Research shows that women’s gas smells worse than men’s, and there’s a scientific reason why. But next time you catch a whiff of your wife’s wind, take comfort — that stink could be a sign that she’s less likely to develop Alzheimer’s. Back in 1998, Dr. Michael Levitt, a gastroenterologist and prolific researcher known as the “King of Farts,” set out to figure out which gases give flatulence its signature funk. He recruited 16 healthy adults with no history of gastrointestinal issues and had each of them strap on a “flatus collection system,” which was essentially a rectal tube connected to a bag. After the participants chowed down on pinto beans and took a laxative, the researchers collected their subsequent farts. Next, Levitt and his colleagues ran a gas chromatographic–mass spectroscopic analysis to break down exactly what was inside those bags. They also put the samples to a sniff test. Two judges were brought in to rate each fart on a scale of 0 to 8, with 8 being “very offensive.” They were unaware that they were smelling human flatulence. The researchers found that the main gasses responsible for the odor of human farts are sulfur-containing compounds, most notably hydrogen sulfide — the chemical behind that classic “rotten egg” smell. And while men tended to pass larger volumes of gas, the study found that female flatulence contained a “significantly higher concentration” of hydrogen sulfide than that of their male peers. The judges agreed, rating women’s farts as having a “greater odor intensity” than men’s. It’s no wonder women tend to get more embarrassed about their farts. A 2005 study found that heterosexual men were the least bothered if others could hear or smell their toots, while heterosexual women were the most self-conscious. But here’s the twist: Women might actually want to embrace their smellier farts because they could be doing their bodies a favor. While hydrogen sulfide is highly toxic in large amounts, small doses — like those found abundantly in women’s gas — may help protect aging brain cells against Alzheimer’s disease. Love to hear what you think… Who wins out here?

A brand new elephant calf made his grand entrance into the world at the Columbus Zoo on October 21. This baby elephant was a big boy, and the zoo couldn’t wait to show him off. They shared the first peek on October 23. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Columbus Zoo and Aquarium (@columbuszoo) “Weighing in at 222 pounds at birth, both baby and Mom are doing well and are under the watchful care of the Animal Care and Conservation Medicine teams,” the zoo shared on Instagram. To mark the joyous occasion, the zoo decided to make naming the baby elephant a contest. They narrowed the choices down to the top four: Frederick, Oliver (Ollie for short), Ozzy, and Theodore (Theo). Fans voted until only one name remained. The Zoo Announced the Baby Elephant’s Name and It’s Darling The Columbus Zoo shared the preciosos baby elephant’s name on Instagram, and we think it suits him just perfectly. “He has a name! Walking away with almost 40% of the 20,000+ votes we received, a name has been chosen by YOU for our newest elephant calf…Meet OLIVER!” The announcement reads. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Columbus Zoo and Aquarium (@columbuszoo) Fans loved the choice. “Yay! I submitted the name Oliver for his name. Maybe others did too but excited it was the one chosen,” someone wrote. My momma submitted the name!!!! you did it momma!” Another excited Elephant lover wrote. Some had other ideas for Ollie the baby elephant and made some silly jokes. “His name may be Oliver aka Ollie, but as Bindi Irwin put it years ago….by the way he looks Ill call him Frederick,” someone wrote referring to Bindi calling newborn brother Robert Brian in the hospital. “That’s perfect! He looks like an Ollie,” someone suggested. We have to agree. Ollie the baby elephant sounds like something from a fairytale. We love it. You can find this story’s featured image here.

'Israel deserves to be represented on every stage around the world'

The Trump administration could have a tough time making all of former President Joe Biden’s autopen actions “null and void,” which likely means he will face litigation, legal experts warn. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, “Any and all Documents, Proclamations, Executive Orders, Memorandums, or Contracts, signed by Order of the now infamous and unauthorized ‘AUTOPEN,’ within the Administration of Joseph R. Biden Jr., are hereby null, void, and of no further force or effect. Anyone receiving “Pardons,” “Commutations,” or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect.” Clemency may be the only question, since Trump can overturn any Biden executive order whether the president signed it personally or by autopen.  “The autopen is only the instrumentality of fraud,” Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, told The Daily Signal. The Oversight Project began analyzing and investigating Biden’s use of the autopen while he was still in office.  “The president has caught the ball and is pushing as hard as possible,” Howell added. “The Department of Justice is the last missing link to take action. This could be an important step in meeting the promise for more accountability.” The office of Joe Biden did not respond to a request for comment. Here are three keys to know what’s next.  1. ‘Proving That Biden Didn’t Know’ When matters are litigated, the burden will be on the Trump administration to prove Biden was unaware of actions taken in his name, warned Stewart Whitson, director of federal affairs for the Foundation for Government Accountability, a watchdog group.  “The challenge for the Trump administration is going to be proving that Biden didn’t know,” Whitson told The Daily Signal. “That could be proven through eyewitness testimony. It could also be proven through accessing documents, such as emails, that might suggest the president didn’t know.”  A strong starting point for the Justice Department to gain search warrants and compel testimony would be the evidence obtained by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Whitson said.  In October, the committee issued a report titled, “The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House,” based on interviews with 14 senior Biden White House staffers.  The investigation found that senior Biden staff exercised presidential authority or facilitated executive actions without direct authorization from President Biden himself, including through misuse of the autopen. The committee found instances where executive actions were executed without clear record of the president’s approval. The committee also identified questions surrounding the issuance of pardons and commutations during the final days of the Biden presidency. This included pardons for Biden family members where the autopen was used without confirmed presidential authorization. Former White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told the committee he didn’t know who was in charge of the autopen.  “Without sufficient recordkeeping, it is impossible to verify that the autopen was used properly,” the oversight committee report says. “Further, recently uncovered documents and witness testimony indicate that even when a verbal decision was ‘memorialized’ in an email, it does not prove that President Biden had made the decision himself.” 2. Clemency ‘Easiest to Undo’ During his Biden’s four years in office, the White House issued 4,245 acts of clemency. That’s more than the previous record of 3,796 held by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Of those, 96% were granted between Oct. 1, 2024, and Jan. 20, 2025.  These included pardons of five Biden family members, along with pardons for former National Institutes of Health official and former White House advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, and House members on the Select Subcommittee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. A Biden Justice Department attorney raised concerns about what he called “highly problematic” pardon review process for what the White House characterized as nonviolent offenders.  Biden’s own words during a New York Times interview published in July, reveal that he was aware of “categories” of people with clemency, but not individuals. He did say he was aware of some pardons for Milley and the Jan. 6 committee members. Biden’s comments to the Times should make the clemency “the easiest to undo,” said Howell of the Oversight Project.  “You don’t need to take the Oversight Project’s word for it. Biden told The New York Times after the Oversight Project forced him out of the basement, that he authorized broad categories for pardons, and the staff picked the names. So that was definitely not done by Biden,” Howell explained. It could depend on the definition of categories, said Paul Kamenar, counsel for the National Legal and Policy Center, a watchdog group.  “If Biden told someone ‘pardon everybody on the January 6 Committee,’ that’s a broad category but it’s also finite,” Kamenar told The Daily Signal. “To say, ‘all or most nonviolent drug offenders’ would be more of a problem.” 3. What Will Litigation Look Like? To reverse the pardons, the Justice Department would have to act, and then courts would resolve the question, legal experts said.  “If Biden never authorized it, it’s an invalid pardon anyway,” Kamenar explained. “The way this gets settled is if Adam Schiff or someone pardoned gets arrested, and he comes back to say, ‘I was pardoned.’ The government could then come back and produce evidence that, ‘No, Biden didn’t authorize the pardon.’” Schiff, now a California Democrat senator, was previously a member of the House Jan. 6 committee.  Other clemency issues will be more difficult to litigate if it means reincarceration or returning old penalties, said John Malcolm, director of the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation.  “This is totally unprecedented territory,” Malcolm told The Daily Signal. “Normally pardons and grants of clemency, for example, are not subject to challenge since a president’s pardon power is plenary.” “Here, the issue will be litigated when Trump takes some action that runs contrary to what Biden did–such as seeking to reincarcerate someone who was pardoned or granted clemency or setting an execution date for one of the 37 death row inmates whose sentences Biden commuted–and then we’ll see what a court does,” Malom added.  Trump’s move is a key first step, said Whitson of the Foundation for Government Accountability.  “The bigger threat that President Trump has brought to the public’s attention is the idea of unelected staffers exercising power they don’t have,” Whitson told The Daily Signal. “It could be at the behest of a well-funded organizations or even foreign funding pushing unelected bureaucrats to act.”  The post What’s Next After Trump Voids Biden Autopen Orders? appeared first on The Daily Signal.
