Alexander Zverev's assault trial has opened at the Berlin criminal court, with his legal team attacking the charges as "unfounded" and painting the alleged victim, Zverev's ex-girlfriend, as someone motivated by fame and money, interested only in her follower count on social media. Zverev, the reigning Olympic tennis champion, is accused of "physically abusing a woman and damaging her health during an argument." The woman is also the mother of his child. 

The campaign for former President Donald Trump said it raised an eye-popping $52.8 million through online donations following Trump’s guilty conviction in his criminal hush money case. On Friday morning, a little more than 12 hours after the verdict was announced, the campaign announced it had fundraised $34.8 million. The claim from the campaign cannot be verified until the Federal Election Commission releases its report on fundraising numbers. “...

Ten people have died while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody so far this fiscal year, more than twice as many as last year and three times as many as the year before, according to ICE data and news releases. There have been more deaths in the first eight months of the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, than in all 12 months of five of the six preceding years. The only fiscal year for which the 12-month total exceeds the current tally is 2020, during the height...

Is the tide turning against the censorship-industrial complex? Just weeks after the UK Government confirmed it would no longer fund the Global Disinformation Index, which blacklisted UnHerd, there is fresh evidence that the censorship machine is breaking down. According to new FOI data, the Government’s secretive Counter-Disinformation Unit (CDU) has drastically reduced its “flagging” of online speech to social media companies by 95%. In 2020 the number of “flags” was 779...

Instead of dispatching an officer each time, several Colorado police departments may soon dispatch a drone to respond to certain 911 calls. While the proposal has promise, it also raises uncomfortable questions about privacy. As Shelly Bradbury reported this week in The Denver Post, "A handful of local law enforcement agencies are considering using drones as first responders—that is, sending them in response to 911 calls—as police departments across Colorado continue to widely...

Microplastics were found in the semen of all 40 men who participated in a new study Microplastics have been discovered in the semen of all the participants in a new study. Microplastics were first discovered in semen samples last year, but the new study, conducted in China, raises the possibility that a significant proportion of the male population, perhaps even all men, may have microplastics in their semen. Semen samples were taken from 40 men in Jinan, China, and raman microspectroscopy was used to identify and quantify microplastic particles in the samples. Microplastics were detected in every one of the 40 samples, with an average of two particles per sample. Eight distinct types of plastic were identified, with polystyrene being the most prevalent, accounting for 31% of the plastic identified. Image: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173522 Although plastic was found in all of the samples, physical abnormalities were not significantly associated with specific plastic types. Sperm motility was affected by some types of plastic more than others.Power up with Nitric Boost that’s now 40% OFF!

The researchers state that further research into the effects of microplastics on male reproductive parameters needs to be carried out. A recent study found microplastics in the testicles of all the men who participated. Microplastics have now been found in more or less every human tissue, from the lungs, gut, liver and kidneys, to the brain and reproductive organs. Plastics and plastic chemicals have been heavily implicated in the growing fertility crisis throughout the developed world. Sperm counts and testosterone levels among men have decreased to such an extent in recent decades that some experts, like Professor Shanna Swan, warn of a “spermageddon” scenario, where sperm counts drop so low that natural reproduction becomes impossible. On the basis of current trends, Professor Swan has suggested “spermageddon” could arrive as early as 2045. EXCLUSIVE: Roger Stone Responds To Trump Conviction In New York Show Trial
