Dolce and Gabbana launched a line of luxury dog perfumes but veterinarians say that this could really throw your dog off by interrupting their sense of smell. As one Italian vet put it: “their world of smells should not be changed.”
In Case You Missed It
🇮🇶 U.S. officials confirmed that seven Americans were injured from a rocket attack on a military base in Iraq. Why are they in Iraq again?
A man with “ties to Iran” has been charged with plotting an assassination on former President Trump. Asif Merchant from Pakistan reportedly traveled to New York in April in order to “recruit hit men to carry out his scheme but was foiled when one of the people approached reported him to the FBI and became an informant, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn said.”
In the aftermath of the actual shooting of President Trump, officials had warned that this is not the assassination attempt they had been watching. Iran, they told us. It was supposed to have been Iran!
How do we know that Merchant had ties to Iran? The Justice Department says that he spent time in Iran prior to coming to the U.S. and that Iran is motivated to do this because the Trump administration killed Iran’s leader Qassem Soleimani in a 2020 drone strike.
Is this plausible?
Sure but it also seems a convenient deflection from the actual assassination attempt that happened in July that the media forgot about. Also, if you were to think like an enemy of the U.S., would you need to assassinate anyone? The U.S. is doing a pretty good job of tearing itself apart right now. In the words of Napoleon: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

Louisiana is the first state in the U.S. that will allow surgical castration of anyone convicted of child sex crimes.
If someone is convicted of a sexual offense against a child under 13, including possession of pornography involving juveniles, a judge can order that their testicles or ovaries are removed by surgery, an irreversible procedure. This would happen after a person’s release from jail – although who would voluntarily report for this after they were freed? If they fail to show up, they could be sentenced to an additional three to five years in prison.
This makes Louisiana the fourth place in the world that allows this, in addition to the Czech Republic, Nigeria and Madagascar.
The Wall Street Journal is not shy about the fact that the Israeli lobby pushed Missouri Representative Cori Bush out of her House seat. She was defeated on Tuesday by Democrat Wesley Bell, who the WSJ says was “a well-funded challenger who is backed by AIPAC.”
The Israel lobby group AIPAC spent $19 million to deliver St. Louis voters “a barrage of advertisements over the past few months.” They began targeting her because she “led efforts in the House to advocate for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza in the weeks following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks and Israel’s military campaign that followed.”
The lobby group did the same to Rep. Jamaal Bowman, according to the WSJ, “spending almost $15 million in independent expenditures to boost his challenger George Latimer.”
Israel was not the only thing working against Representative Bush. She is under investigation by the Justice Department for “her alleged use of campaign funds for security payments to her husband.”
A new study shows something that we already knew: that Covid deaths were over-reported during the pandemic and that the Covid vaccine did not have any apparent benefit in slowing or stopping the pandemic.
The authors studied 125 countries and their vaccination programs and and found “no systematic or statistically significant trends showing that vaccination campaigns in 2020 and 2021 reduced all-cause mortality.”
The researchers found that excess deaths did not increase until the vaccine rollout and found far more vaccine-related deaths than most governments care to admit. They found that these excess deaths have continued into at least 2023.
When the media reports that the “vaccine saved lives,” they are usually referring to studies that showed that respirator use went down after the vaccine rollout, which is not proof of much at all, or studies that showed that predicted death went down from previous math models.
