Why it’s so hard to bust the weather control conspiracy theory

It was October 2024, and Hurricane Helene had just devastated the US Southeast.

Why do so many people think the Fruit of the Loom logo had a cornucopia?

There is a shirt currently listed on eBay for $2,128.79. It was not designed by Versace or Dior, nor spun from the world’s finest silk.

Depending on the species, they may have six inches or more of blubber, an insulating layer that traps heat inside and turns their internal organs to mush.  That can make Jennifer B...
