LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — October 16, 2018 Unusual things happen in California every day. In Los Angeles, thousands of people have the pleasure of coming across the transgender dog — that is, a person who identifies as a transgender animal. Tony McGinn, known as “Tony Bark” to his friends, says he has been into animal role-play his entire life and refers to himself as a “human pup.” It started when he met his future husband. The 30-years-old, who was born female and is transgender, is supported by his husband and “handler” Andrew who accompanies him to regular play date...

CALIFORNIA – October 15, 2018 Feminism, as we know, denies the existence of gender differences. This principle has become the basis of political trends in recent years. But nature puts everything in its place and the twisted logic of feminism has cracked from an unexpected side. As they say, when it rains, it pours. Transgender people have begun to push for people to compete in sports according to whatever gender they feel like. It is enough for a man to declare that he feels like a woman and he has the right to participate in sports competitions as a woman. It’s nonsens...

Pasadena, California – October 12, 2018 Everyone in the world imagines that they are living in the present, but, in a certain sense, they are not.

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) are using this video to explain a bizarre phenomenon in the brain. It shows a series of beeps and flashes in quick succession. You have to stare at a cross in the middle of the screen and watch to see how many fla...

California – October 9, 2018 Many years of work are behind, the children are grown up, and ahead is a seemingly quiet life in retirement. Many people believe that American retirees live happily ever after, but this is not so. Unfortunately, retirement funds from a life of work are not always enough, which is why many older people leave the country in search of a better, and more affordable life. The number of Americans who after retirement move to live outside the United States is constantly growing. According to the Bloomberg Health-Care Efficiency Index, for the period...

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — October 8, 2018 A flea-borne plague is the latest health scare in the U.S. The Los Angeles Country Department of Public Health had already recorded at least a dozen cases of flea-borne typhus as of Sunday. Many experts believe that the number of patients will grow rapidly. All of those suffering from the condition live or work in the area — some homeless, health officials said. Authorities warn that the disease occurs when feces from an infected insect come into contact with a cut or open wound or gets rubbed into somebody’s eye. These fleas...

CALIFORNIA — October 8, 2018 Canadian and American scientists have concluded that teenage cannabis use leads to long-term negative effects on their developing brain. A Montreal University study found that the effect of marijuana on teenager’s behavior, thinking, and memory skills was stronger than that from extended alcohol consumption. The experiment involved 3,826 seventh-grade students from 31 schools consisting of 5% of all students entering high school in 2012 and 2013. Participants were 13 years old at the time of the study. Scientists monitored the performance of...

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA — October 5, 2018 A particularly cruel and cynical crime has been solved by police in California, and three people are accused of gang raping young children. The perpetrators recorded their crimes on video. Law enforcement authorities believe the participants in this “love triangle” were involved in 48 cases of sexual violence against children. Formal charges have already been made against them. According to court data, among the perpetrators are a neurosurgeon, a former nurse, and a woman claiming she’s carrying the doctor’s child. As the prosecu...

USA — October 1, 2018 News that long-time Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia stepped down after 19 years saddened a throng of fans. 19 seasons of Angels magic ended on Sunday appropriately though, as the baseball great’s club managed a come-from-behind victory over the Oakland A’s.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — October 1, 2018 At the moment, this applies only to the Los Angeles airport, but U.S. authorities haven’t excluded that this rule could soon spread to the entire country. The policy is tied to Proposition 64, which legalized marijuana in California. As a result, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is changing its policy to allow travelers 21 or older to carry the drug. But at the same time, there are limits: a maximum of 28.5 grams (about an ounce) of standard marijuana and 8 grams of the condensed variety. The policy states: While federa...
