As you may have heard, The New York Times revealed this week that Israel has a secret animal training program that literally teaches dogs how to waterboard prisoners. Scarily, that's not all they're teaching animals to do. Here are seven more shocking things that The New York Times has reported that Israel has coached animals to do:

  1. Trained goldfish to only live for three weeks and make kids sad when they die: Horrifying.

  2. Taught cats to be emotionally detached and self-centered: The evil is sickening.

  3. Trained a chicken to make that mocking chicken noise, but only when it sees New York Times writer Nicholas Kristof: So mean.

  4. Trained pigeons to fly around pooping on people: Unbelievably twisted.

  5. Taught a guinea pig how to pilot an Apache attack helicopter: Okay, that is a scary image.

  6. Trained a parrot to repeat whatever is said, slowly driving people insane: What kind of sick people are these?

  7. Taught a golden retriever how to play basketball and ultimately lead a Midwest high school team to the championship: We could not be more appalled.

We hope this list wakes people up to the disturbing reality of what Israel is doing with these poor, innocent animals.


NOT SATIRE: My family fled communism — and American media almost turned me INTO a communist.

Let that sink in. My parents escaped a regime that took everything.

They came to America believing one thing: here, it can't happen again.

Then 30 years later, sitting in my comfortable American life, I caught myself believing the exact ideology they ran from.

Once I saw what the media did to me, I knew I had to give other people a way to fight back. But there was a problem: the truth was scattered across a dozen sites and three podcasts I didn't have hours every day to sort through.

Nothing I found was something I could actually send to my indoctrinated friends and family without losing them in the first paragraph.

So I quit my six-figure tech job and built it myself.

Thousands of readers are leaving cable news and the endless conservative rabbit hole and switching to us.

When I asked our 140,000 daily readers why, the #1 answer floored me: "You're the only ones who don't leave us feeling overwhelmed."

It's written so you can actually forward it to your kids, your husband, your sister, your friend at church — and they'll actually read it.

Tomorrow morning, you're either piecing together the news from five different sites and still not sure what to tell your friends and family, or you're opening ONE email that gives you the full picture in five minutes — and the confidence to actually talk about it.
