At a time when the majority of American college students are female-currently 57 percent of all students-higher education's conversation surrounding women's rights is largely dominated by modern feminist ideology. Roughly 63 percent of female students identify as feminists, and while no similar statistic is available for female faculty or staff members, most likely an even higher percentage of them identify as such.

On the surface, feminist ideals seem to have the good of all women in mind: After all, who would characterize him or herself as opposed to women's "freedom" and "equality"?

Ukrainians were over-consuming gas when it was being delivered by Russia, says Ukraine's Naftogaz chief

The Ukrainians were clearly over-consuming gas during periods when Russia's Gazprom was supplying it, Naftogaz CEO said, days after Gazprom terminated its contract with the Ukrainian company and new gas shortages were revealed.

Speaking at the CERAWeek annual energy conference in Houston, Texas, Andrey Kobolyev claimed that Ukraine had become a "victim of a vicious circle" of Russian gas consumption. "We had giant and ineffective consumption," he said, adding that "Ukraine used six times as much gas as any European country" if one takes into account how much gas one household spent on a per-square-meter basis.

The Ukrainian energy company head then, predictably, went on to blame "populist politicians, who were enjoying strong support from Russia" for such a state of affairs. At the same time, he admitted that the Ukrainian households bought natural gas for a reduced cost that accounted for just five percent of its real market cost, before Naftogaz de facto ceased buying gas from Gazprom. That did not stop him from calling this fact just another "reason for excessive consumption."

Busting Western media lies: Putin is stunningly popular with voters, solid turnout expected for Russian presidential election

Russian elections 2018
During the Soviet era, the common joke in the west was that since the Soviet Union only had one candidate for General Secretary (a.k.a. President) of the country, we could call the election with only a few ballots counted. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, though, many in the West remain perplexed by two factors in the Russian Federation that are very different than in the West: the stunning popularity of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the high voter turnout rate in Russia. Surely, the West says, this is something that is influenced upon the people of Russia by the Kremlin apparatchik. It just cannot be real, goes the line from many in the West.

Well... it is real.

This is just an example of people trying to talk about something they know nothing about. In the present day experience of life in Russia, I see absolutely nothing coercive about the election campaign at all, and I live here, so I would see it if there were anything to report.

A resident of a tiny Irish town having its population increased by a third by a new migrant centre has said Ireland has become a "slave state" of the European Union (EU) and its immigration policies, leaving locals helpless.

"We don't know where these people are going to be from. They won't tell us what countries they're from. What religion they're from," said Michael Walsh.

He said the 300-strong rural community of Lisdoonvarna could be radically changed by such a large and sudden influx, and that many concerned locals were fearful of accusations of racism if they questioned it.

US town where guns are required has had only 1 murder in 6 years, CNN admits

CNN admitted in a report on March 6, 2018, that a Georgia town requiring gun ownership has only seen one murder in six years and maintains a violent crime rate of less than two percent.

CNN reports that Kennesaw, Georgia, adopted an ordinance in 1982 requiring the head of every household to "maintain a firearm."

CNN suggested the law requiring gun ownership is not actually enforced, but it simultaneously reported that the town of Kennesaw has only witnessed one murder in the past six years. In other words, just the common knowledge that guns are in the hands of law-abiding citizens appears to restrain the actions of criminals.

A federal court has denied an attempt by the Environmental Protection Agency to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to ban the use of fluoride under the Toxic Substances Control Act.

In a victory for water fluoridation opponents, a judge in the Northern District of California has denied a motion by the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] that sought to limit the information available to the court while making their decision on whether or not to ban water fluoridation.

The lawsuit was brought forth by Food and Water Watch Inc. and a coalition of health organizations and individuals concerned about fluoride.

Under section 21 of The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) citizens are allowed to petition the EPA to regulate or ban individual chemicals.

Food and Water Watch filed the lawsuit after the EPA rejected a citizen petition calling for the EPA to ban the addition of fluoride chemicals to the drinking water supply.

A bag with 52 severed hands was found on a river island outside the city of Khabarovsk, in Russia's Far East. Investigators say the gruesome find was not the work of a rampant serial killer, but the result of unlawful negligence.

The chilling discovery was made by local fishermen who initially stumbled upon one hand sticking out of the frozen ground, local media reported. They called police, who promptly arrived and uncovered a whole bag of human limbs, some partly decomposed and lacking fingers.

Disturbing images that were sent anonymously to several local outlets and appeared on Instagram and Telegram, have caused mush distress and speculation among social media users.

  • Nearly half of Americans have less than $10,000 stashed away for retirement, according to a report by GoBankingRates.
  • For them, a serious lack of planning coupled with a longer life expectancy has destroyed any retirement dreams.
At this rate, retirement is more of a fantasy than a reality for many people in this country.

About 42 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved for when they retire, according to a study by GoBankingRates released Tuesday.
