In June 1972, the Royal Society of Medicine in London hosted a symposium called “Man in His Place”. It featured an eclectic group of speakers, including Jacob Bronowski, whose acclaimed 13-part BBC television series, The Ascent of Man, would air the following year. But the first person to take the podium was John Bumpass Calhoun from the US National Institute of Mental Health outside Washington DC.

The West has funneled more money into Ukraine than the entire nation’s GDP. The nation was considered a corrupt pariah by the West who would not allow Ukraine into any bloc formed from NATO to the European Union. Now, the European Union is virtue signaling by claiming it has covered Ukraine’s budget deficit next fiscal year. None of these nations can overcome their deficits. Of course, the funding did not come from these governments but rather from the stolen Russian funds confiscated at the beginning of the war. The next €30 billion of transferred stolen assets will allegedly pay off…

UNITED NATIONS, United States: Just 12 trucks distributed food and water in northern Gaza in two-and-a-half months, aid group Oxfam said on Sunday (Dec 22), raising the alarm over the worsening humanitarian situation in the besieged territory. “Of the meager 34 trucks of food and water given permission to enter the North Gaza Governorate over the last 2.5 months, deliberate delays and systematic obstructions by the Israeli military meant that just twelve managed to distribute aid to starving Palestinian civilians,” Oxfam said in a statement, in a count that included deliveries through Saturday. “For three of these, once the food…

It is extremely rare for an NFL team to have five turnovers in a game. It is even more rare for an NFL team to have those five turnovers and still win the game.

Due to a head injury, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts left the game early in the first quarter and did not return. Kenny Pickett played the remainder of the game for Philadelphia. Pickett threw for 143 yards…

But reaching this point of understanding took…

Uncle Johannes has outdone himself this year, serving up an eight-course Christmas feast (though some of the dishes are a little unusual). In order, the first seven courses are: mousse, vol-au-vents, eggnog, milkshake, jelly, soup and upside-down cake. What might the final course be? 2.
