The homicide rate across 35 major cities fell dramatically in 2025, dropping to what researchers say could be the lowest rate on record, a new study from the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) found.

Do Outlaw Clubs Really Care What You Wear? ☠️?️

I am SO excited to bring you this one… Because I think we can really help a lot of people! And because this got really personal for me today….allow me to explain. I’ve been working with the awesome people over at the Richardson Nutritional Center for a few months now, and I so greatly enjoy it! They’re on the front lines of the truth movement just like I am, but I work in politics and they work in medicine. But it’s the same story, same battle.  A massive fight against TRUTH. In their particular case, they stand on mountains of evidence stretching back decades and even centuries, tested, retested, confirmed and validated by hundreds if not thousands of different doctors and scientists who all came to the same conclusion — essentially, that cancer is not a “disease” you catch or develop, it’s actually a “symptom” of a poor diet.  Specifically, a diet severely lacking in something called B17/Amygdalin. And it got personal for me today because I was scheduled to have John Richardson, Jr. on my show, The Daily Truth Report today — we’ve had it scheduled for a few weeks — and suddenly right before the interview I found out a close friend and close friend of the family was just diagnosed with serious Stage 4 cancer. So as I’m getting ready to have John on the show, I’m digesting this news and suddenly it all hit me differently. I’ve been helping them get this word out as best I can because I believe we can truly help thousands of people, and I believe in that deeply — but it hits different when it hits close to home. So I told John that I really wanted to focus the show on showing how “normal” this is.  How this is actually the true science, the real science, stretching back centuries!  I wanted to create a video that would not sound like a “conspiracy theory” when you shared it with friends or family who just found out they have cancer.  I wanted something people could proudly share which is ROCK SOLID. And that’s what we created today, I am so proud of this show! We covered it all — the medical research and peer-reviewed studies stretching back decades and centuries!  New legislation in 27 states confirming the legitimacy of this research and use of B17/Amygdalin/Laetrile.  And we even showed a “mainstream” CNBC article that confirmed EVERYTHING we talked about in the interview, documenting a tribe where people routinely live to over 100 and have never once had a single instance of cancer — and the CNBC article itself confirms the #1 reason is their diet high in Apricot Seeds which contain, you guessed it, concentrated B17/Amygdalin. We also discussed G. Edward Griffin, who famously wrote “The Creature From Jekyll Island” which is the most authoritative and most frequently cited book exposing the Federal Reserve system.  I bet you’re familiar with it. But did you know that BEFORE he wrote that book he wrote a book called “A World Without Cancer” and it’s all about everything I am telling you? Yes!! We also cited name after name after name of famous cancer researchers spanning back decades who all came to this same conclusion that this stuff is real, and then they were silenced for it.  But the truth somehow always finds a way to rise to the surface, doesn’t it? Folks, I don’t do Fake News around here, and this interview proves it. This is rock solid, documented, footnoted, researched and full of over one hour of fact after fact after fact. Please, if you know anyone who has cancer, please show them this article or this video. THANK YOU! Watch here: And now here are all the links you need… Everything we discussed in the interview can be found here: https://rncstore.com/wlt They were nice enough to set me up with a promo code so use WLT at checkout and it will save you 10% off whatever you order. If you want a free copy of the G. Edward Griffin book go here: http://myworldwithoutcancer.com Get Rick’s Bundles here: https://rncstore.com/WLT-RicksBundles Please help me get this message out to as many people as possible… I’m not claiming I can cure cancer, but we might just save a life or two or a thousand if we can get this message out. And I would also add this: I would never advise anyone to STOP their current cancer treatments if you are on them.  The only thing I would say is what do you have to lose?  Why not try this in parallel?  If Rick and all the other people giving their testimonies are wrong and it doesn’t work for you, what harm is there in trying?  That would be how I would approach it, and I also plan to start taking a daily dose as preventative care. Thank you!

A home with a dark history, Boleskin House has been fully restored after being gutted by fire in 2015 and 2019

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM Sexual health is getting a long-overdue upgrade. Thanks to recent approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, at-home STD testing is more accessible than ever, and it’s arriving alongside the first new gonorrhea treatments in decades. For public health experts, the timing couldn’t be better. After years of climbing infection rates and pandemic-related disruptions to testing and treatment, these changes offer a hopeful shift. And while many challenges like high costs and public health funding cuts remain, the convenience and privacy of testing from home could help remove key barriers for people hesitant to get screened. “Sexual health can be stigmatized and people can be hesitant about testing,” said Dr. Ina Park, a sexual health specialist at the University of California, San Francisco. “Now we have a lot of options for patients who may be wary of going into a provider’s office.” Home testing is fast, private and accurate Last year, FDA approved Visby Medical’s all-in-one, at-home test that screens for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis in women. The test includes a vaginal swab and a small diagnostic device. After collecting a sample, users upload a photo of the results to an app and can receive a telehealth consultation and prescription within as little as six hours. Dr. Gary Schoolnik, Visby’s chief medical officer and a professor emeritus at Stanford, explained why that matters: “Many patients are very hard to track down and a lot of them, if they have a positive test result, are never treated and are lost to follow-up.” The streamlined model addresses this problem head-on. The device was shown to detect the three infections with accuracy rates around 98 percent. That’s comparable to traditional lab tests, but it only costs $150. While not currently covered by insurance, it includes follow-up medical support and prescription access. Other tests are designed to work with existing lab systems. Teal Health’s HPV self-collection kit, also approved by the FDA last year, allows users to collect a sample with the Teal Wand, ship it to a lab, and receive results from a provider. For the first time, federal guidelines now endorse self-collection for HPV screening—an important milestone in cervical cancer prevention. New gonorrhea drugs offer promising alternatives On the treatment side, another significant breakthrough has occurred; the FDA also approved two new oral medications for gonorrhea after years of limited options: Nuzolvenc and Bluejepa. Both drugs can be taken by mouth, a notable improvement over the current go-to: an injection of ceftriaxone. The rise of drug-resistant gonorrhea has been a major concern, especially after the CDC dropped oral azithromycin from its guidelines due to resistance concerns. “We were down to one class of antibiotics recommended to treat gonorrhea and we had no other good options,” Park said. “So to have two new options in the same year is very exciting.” These drugs bring new hope in managing a notoriously adaptive infection that has become harder to treat over time. The impact is already being felt According to provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, STD rates are starting to decline. Gonorrhea cases have dropped for three consecutive years, and the most infectious forms of syphilis and adult cases of chlamydia have also seen a dip. Experts point to multiple factors: less sexual activity among younger populations, a growing interest in “morning-after” antibiotics to prevent STDs, and wider access to at-home screening. While home testing is still relatively new, it’s beginning to reshape how people approach sexual health. Still, experts caution that the shift to home testing could make tracking national infection rates more complicated. Many public health databases rely on centralized lab reporting, something not always captured when tests are done at home. Another concern is cost and access. Tests like Visby’s $150 kit, while convenient, may be out of reach for lower-income individuals. And with recent funding cuts to the CDC and other public health agencies, there’s fear that the people who could benefit most from these innovations may be the last to access them. “I’m feeling very optimistic about the fact that people have more testing options and also that we now have access to new drugs,” Park said. “What I fear is these cuts to public health are going to decrease access to sexual health care for populations who can least afford to take advantage of these new options.”     Did this solution stand out?
