🏊♂️Once-successful female swimmer changed sex and now loses.
Just five years ago, Iszac Henig was one of the top 100 female swimmers in the country. These days, after transitioning to male, Henig finished in 79th place out of 83 swimmers. The four people to finish behind him, according to OutKick, were a swimmer born without a left arm and three others who specialize in the breaststroke.
Iszac is now swimming on the guy’s team. He finishes in last place, but says: ‘It’s pretty great to feel comfortable in the locker room every day.’ Obviously, for this he was ready to sacrifice his success in sport.
It has become an increasingly regular event for American athletes to change their gender. For example, earlier we reported on Aspen Hoffman, who, after transition, takes part in the girl’s division. However, the percentage of those who wish they hadn’t changed their sex is quite high. Listen to those who regretted their decision in I Want my Sex Back (2018).

'I have asked all my friends to help me find a girl for my fourth marriage.' Seven years ago, Sardar said he wanted 100 children, but he decided to settle on a smaller figure. After all, it is becoming increasingly difficult to feed such a large family.
Another father with many children, Musa Hasahya from Uganda, hardly has enough earnings to live on. He has already asked his wives to use protection.
Ziona, the leader of a polygamous cult, also had a large family. He left behind about 90 children. In the summer of 2021, Ziona died of diabetes. To find out more about this man watch the film The Immortals (2016).

🌬 Lali has lived in a voodoo convent for several years. For the rest of her life, the scars on the body, made by the cult’s servants, will remind her about it. The cultists took away her traditional clothing, gave her a new name and forced to learn magical rituals.
This is a common story in the African nation of Benin. Voodoo is the official religion there. Locals give their daughters to convents to coax the spirits. The child has to live there for months or even years. Can they take the children back? Watch our clip to find out. Discover even more in Voodoo Brides (2022).

👀In US children’s hospital, they suggest transplanting uterus from live donors to trans women.
‘Most transgender women would choose to have female physiological experiences,’ claimed a transgender advocate at the ‘Fertility in the LGBTQIA+ Community’ presentation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So, she indeed wants to discuss transplanting uteruses to trans women. She also made a remark that trans men can consider giving their reproductive organs to trans females.
The speech has gone viral, but in networks it was accepted negatively. ‘Wild’, ‘insane’, ‘ridiculous’ – were just some of the comments users posted on Twitter. Some reminded that the operation for transgender patients is ethically questionable since the transplant isn’t a life-saving procedure. Listen to the full speech in our video and share your opinion.
Duane Stewart, an evangelist and a subject of our documentary, condemns the idea of transgenderism in general and considers it a sin. ‘The body’s been created by the Creator to do… to function a certain way! You have breasts as a woman. They’re meant to breast-feed!’ Listen to this man's critical views in Pride and Piety.

Italy’s Most-Wanted Mafia Boss Detained after Three Decades On the Run
Matteo Messina Denaro was reportedly detained in a private clinic in Sicily's capital Palermo Monday. He is alleged to be a boss of Sicily's notorious Cosa Nostra mafia.
He had been sentenced in absentia to life for his role in the 1992 murders of two anti-mafia prosecutors. He also faces a life sentence for his role in bomb attacks in Florence, Rome and Milan - which killed 10 people the following year.
Denaro, nicknamed ‘‘Diabolik’’, was once considered a candidate to be the Sicilian mafia’s 'boss of bosses', after the deaths of Bernardo Provenzano, in 2016, and Salvatore Riina, in 2017.

🚿This viral footage features a San Francisco gallery owner spraying a homeless woman with water. Many viewers found the scene inhumane and cruel, but the man disagrees. ‘I totally understand what an awful thing that it is to do, but I also understand what an awful thing it is to leave her on the streets,’ claimed the US citizen.
He further justified his actions: ‘There must be at least 25 calls to police. It's two days in a homeless shelter, it's two days in jail, and then they drop them right back on the street.’
The problem of homelessness in the US is prevalent. The government, however, doesn’t want to search for a solution, preferring to leave things as they are. So, evidently, Americans are forced to take measures into their own hands.

This is how church services are held in Ukraine now, with dancing at the altar and costume actors instead of praying.
In the country, the canonical church is being replaced by a schismatic one. Why did Kiev declare war on Orthodoxy? About this, see an excerpt of the series Operation Ukraine.

🧾'I had an average bill that was basically 4,700€ monthly and it went up to 30 000€ monthly.’ A French cheese maker complains about unaffordable electricity prices. He said that such a tariff would kill the business.
However, such fears do not seem to worry European officials. Despite the discontent of its citizens, the West continues its harsh anti-Russian policy. In December, the 9th package of sanctions was adopted. ‘We have put in place the strongest sanctions ever, which leave the Russian economy facing a decade of regression,’ Ursula von der Leyen declared at the World Economic Forum. But in the end, it is not Russia that suffers from it, but the Europeans themselves.
Not everyone agreed with the anti-Russian sanctions. Recently, the President of Croatia, Zoran Milanoviс, said that he sees no point in such moves: 'This is nonsense, and we will achieve nothing', the politician noted.
Even at the time of the first anti-Russian restrictions, experts warned that the measures could turn against the countries that introduced them. Is the current situation the result of such decisions? Our film Sanctions: Boomerang Effect is just about it.
