Don’t drink the water? Don’t eat EU food

The European Union couldn't get people to go along with its push for people to stop eating meat and instead eat bugs -- so EU elites have sneaked in a rule to let manufacturers use ground-up crickets in place of flour in their starch-based foods.

The near-sociopathic medical push for never-ending face masking

Face masks don't work. Yet medical tyrants continue to insist they do -- in part, by redefining the word "work" -- and a la sociopath style, continue to insist that those members of the public under their control play active roles in the lie.
