Tanghulu, a traditional Asian street food, has become a popular recipe trend on social media, captivating many with its simple yet stunning presentation. However, while social media is often a fantastic way to discover new recipes, not all hacks are as safe as they seem. What parents and grandparents don't know about this ‘easy' recipe trend could be downright dangerous. RELATED: Family Cautions Others About Dangers of One Chip Challenge After 14-Year-Old's Death Using the Microwave For This Treat Can Be Dangerous Tanghulu is a treat in which fresh fruit is coated in molten sugar that hardens into a shiny candy shell. It is typically heated on the stove to achieve the necessary high temperature for the sugar to crystallize. However, some TikTokers have devised a microwave method for making Tanghulu, a hack that has proven hazardous and has resulted in serious burns. Dr. Colleen Ryan, a renowned burn specialist from Shriners Children, has raised the alarm about this dangerous hack. She shared about the severe injuries she has seen as a result of attempting to make Tanghulu in the microwave. "When sugar is melted in the microwave like this, it has a high heat capacity, meaning it stores the heat energy," said Dr. Ryan. "If spilled, it can create a severe scald burn, much like spilling hot soup, but it can cause a much deeper burn because of sugar's properties. Kids or teens can quickly grab the pot or bowl, and the hot fluid splashes, spills, or splatters over them. The result is one or several small but very deep burns, often in critical areas such as the hand or the face." RELATED: Devastated Parents Spread the Word About Mylar Balloon Danger After It Leads to Childrens' Death The Trend Has Result In Severe Burns The trend has already resulted in several cases of severe burns, particularly in children and teens who may not fully understand the risks involved. Dr. Ryan shared that in just two weeks, she treated two young patients with deep burns from attempting this social media hack. These injuries were not just painful but also left lasting scars, both physically and emotionally. The best way to prevent these injuries is awareness and supervision. Dr. Ryan urges parents and grandparents to monitor their children's social media use closely, especially regarding trends involving cooking or DIY projects. While it might seem fun and harmless, making Tanghulu in the microwave is not a safe shortcut. “Parents should be careful and ensure their children have learned proper cooking safety and take preventive measures. Many burn injuries we see at Shriners Children's Boston are scalding injuries that come from preparing hot food or liquids, so our goal is to educate parents and kids about the potential dangers," she said.

A Republican candidate in Nevada was attacked by a robber with a knife while putting up his own campaign signs. “67-year-old Stanley Vaughan, running as the Republican in Assembly District 20, decided to walk solo in triple-digit temperatures, putting up signs for himself and other candidates,” KVVU reports. “He said a robber demanded his wallet, then cut him with a knife,” the outlet added. “I‘m so focused on getting the cable ties through and getting them through the fence, I wasn’t paying attention to pedestrians and stuff coming through here. I had my back turned. I turned around, caught me by surprise– then he started to lunge at me. I instinctively kicked him and he ran away,” Vaughan said, according to KVVU. 67-Years-Old Las Vegas Republican Candidate Brutally Slashed by Knife-Wielding Thug While Putting Up Campaign Signs: Stanley Vaughan, a 67-year-old Las Vegas Republican running for a seat in the State Assembly, was assaulted by a knife-wielding mugger on… https://t.co/rwa13znKyI pic.twitter.com/r8TA2YkXjo — Janie Johnson – America is Exceptional (@jjauthor) September 9, 2024 KVVU reports: Vaughan described the suspect as a man who seemed disoriented and hadn’t bathed in days, suspecting that he was homeless. Vaughan said that he doesn’t plan to put signs up alone, anymore.

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu came to the aid of a contestant at the Hampton Beach Lobster Roll Eating Competition who began to choke. The Republican governor performed the Heimlich maneuver on a man choking on a lobster roll. “The gentleman at the far end, who I was kind of watching – I glanced over, I could tell very quickly, he took, took a pause – he was having trouble getting something down,” Sununu told WMUR.  New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu came to the aid of a contestant choking on a lobster roll at a seafood festival eating contest on Sunday — using the Heimlich maneuver after the man signaled for help. https://t.co/x62TTPfBgl — ABC News (@ABC) September 9, 2024 WMUR reports: The contestant, Christian Moreno, began to signal for help, tapping on his chest and looking to get the stuck piece of lobster out of his windpipe as he began to struggle to breathe. “I started saying, ‘He’s choking, he’s choking,’ and I could tell people weren’t responding. So I just moved forward and immediately started to kind of give him the Heimlich,” Sununu said. In the midst of the chaos, Sununu jumped in, moving to give Moreno four or five compressions before first responders took over and helped free the stuck piece of lobster. “It was crazy because it wasn’t so much the jumping in and doing it — I mean, that was wild in itself — but there was so much commotion,” Sununu said, adding that as soon as Moreno’s windpipe and throat were clear, he went right back to eating. “He went right back to the contest, which I couldn’t believe. He ate another seven lobster rolls after that,” Sununu said. “Right down the gullet.” WATCH: Per ABC News: Moreno, who didn’t have his glasses on, wasn’t aware it was the governor who had helped save him. “My counter came up to me and, like, made a joke. And was like, ‘Oh, like, I bet nobody else can say that they’ve gotten the Heimlich from the governor before.’ And I looked at him, was just like, that was, that was the governor?” Moreno said. Moreno recovered and went back to the contest. He didn’t win, but he did consume nine lobster rolls in all.

Are you seeing the dots connect now? REPORT: Central Banks Preparing To “Revalue Gold” Price Evidence is mounting that Central Banks are preparing to revalue the price of Gold. Sound crazy? It’s not, and it just shows you don’t know your history, because it’s happened before and evidence is building that it’s about to happen again. I’ll give you a very detailed analysis of how and why that might happen in just a minute, but first I simply want you to listen to this: WOW! The BIS and central banks worldwide continue to accumulate gold reserves, setting the stage for a gold revaluation in 2024!

The only piece that hasn’t get happened is the revaluation of gold, but I believe that’s coming soon. In fact, here are the exact specs for how it would happen, direct from the Federal Reserve’s own papers: Here’s your #Gold Revaluation Proof. Financial Accounting Manual for Federal Reserve Banks The Treasury Secretary can instruct the Fed to revalue the Gold on the U.S. government’s Balance sheet, it will likely be revalued to over $20,000 per OZ.Boom. It’s coming.

Take a look for yourself: How Central Banks Might Revalue the Price of Gold Gold Revaluation Mechanism: Central banks have the power to revalue gold because they hold significant reserves and can directly impact its price through coordinated policies. Here’s how it might work: Coordinated Buying or Selling: Central banks can collaborate to purchase or sell gold in the open market. By significantly increasing demand through coordinated buying, they could drive up the price. Conversely, selling gold could decrease its price, although central banks are more likely to use buying as a tool to increase gold’s value. Setting a Fixed Price: Central banks could announce a new fixed price for gold, signaling their intention to buy or sell gold at that price to maintain it. This method was used during the Bretton Woods system, where the U.S. dollar was pegged to gold at $35 per ounce, and other currencies were pegged to the dollar. Adjusting Reserve Requirements: Central banks could require higher reserves of gold relative to other assets, forcing banks and financial institutions to hold more gold. This would naturally increase demand and push the price upward. Creating a Gold-Backed Digital Currency: Central banks might introduce a digital currency partially backed by gold. The announcement or launch of such a currency would increase demand for gold as a reserve asset, driving up its value. Reasons for Revaluation: Central banks might consider revaluing gold for several reasons: Stabilizing Currencies: In times of fiat currency instability, revaluing gold could help anchor the value of currencies by increasing confidence in gold-backed reserves. Combatting Inflation: Revaluing gold could act as a tool against inflation by providing a hard asset alternative, reducing the money supply’s velocity, and curbing inflationary pressures. Geopolitical Shifts: In a scenario where the U.S. dollar’s dominance is challenged, countries might seek to revalue gold as a neutral reserve asset to reduce dependency on the dollar. Likelihood of Central Banks Revaluing Gold First Principles Analysis: To determine the likelihood of central banks working together to revalue gold, let’s break down the problem using first principles: Observation 1: Current Gold Holdings and Trends: Many central banks, especially in emerging markets (e.g., China, Russia, India), have been increasing their gold reserves over the past decade. They are diversifying away from U.S. dollar-denominated assets due to geopolitical tensions and concerns about the dollar’s long-term stability. According to the World Gold Council, central banks purchased a significant amount of gold in 2022 and 2023, highlighting a trend toward greater gold accumulation. Observation 2: Potential Motivations for Revaluation: Currency Stability and Inflation Control: With inflation concerns persisting globally, central banks might look for ways to strengthen their currencies. Revaluing gold could serve as a hedge against inflation. Geopolitical Realignments: Rising geopolitical tensions, such as the U.S.-China trade war and Russia’s exclusion from the Western financial system, suggest a search for alternatives to the U.S. dollar. Gold, being a neutral asset, could be a strategic choice. Observation 3: Current Economic Conditions and Constraints: The global economic environment shows significant volatility, with rising inflation, concerns about debt sustainability, and shifts in global power structures. Fiat Currency Defensiveness: Central banks of major economies (e.g., the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank) might resist actions that could undermine confidence in fiat currencies. A move to revalue gold significantly might indicate a loss of control over fiat systems, something major powers would be reluctant to signal. Challenges to Coordinated Revaluation: Coordination Complexity: Coordinating among the world’s major central banks (such as the Federal Reserve, ECB, PBOC, and Bank of Russia) would be highly complex, considering divergent economic interests and geopolitical dynamics. Market Reaction and Trust Issues: Sudden revaluation could lead to significant market volatility, impacting bonds, equities, and currencies, potentially causing unintended consequences that might hurt the economies involved. Gold Market Dynamics: The global gold market is influenced by more than just central banks—mining output, jewelry demand, and private investment also play substantial roles. Central banks do not control the entire market, making coordinated action less effective. Real-World Evidence and Indicators Gold Accumulation by Central Banks: As mentioned, there has been a noticeable increase in gold reserves by countries like China, Russia, India, and Turkey. These countries are keen on reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar, which is a strong signal toward preferring a gold standard or using gold as a hedge. Digital Currencies and Gold-Backed Tokens: There has been interest from countries like Russia and China in exploring digital currencies, potentially backed by gold. This would serve as a hedge against sanctions and currency devaluation, indirectly affecting gold’s value. Current Geopolitical Instability: The rising U.S.-China tensions, sanctions against Russia, and the de-dollarization trend could accelerate the need for a more neutral reserve asset like gold. However, outright revaluation requires a more coordinated effort, which seems challenging given the fractured geopolitical environment. Conclusion: Likelihood Assessment Based on first principles thinking and real-world evidence: Short-term Likelihood: Low. While there is a strong case for revaluing gold, especially among countries looking to diversify from the U.S. dollar, the likelihood of a coordinated effort among major central banks remains low. The complexity of coordination, resistance from major fiat currency holders, and the potential for destabilizing markets make it an unlikely near-term scenario. Medium to Long-term Likelihood: Moderate to High. If current trends of de-dollarization continue, geopolitical tensions rise, or inflation remains persistently high, the incentive for central banks to explore a partial or full gold revaluation could increase. This scenario would require new financial crises or significant geopolitical shifts to become a reality. In essence, while the groundwork for a potential revaluation is being laid in a fragmented way by some central banks, the prospect of a unified, coordinated revaluation is remote in the current global context. However, watch for changes in global economic stability, inflationary trends, and geopolitical dynamics as key indicators of a shift toward gold revaluation in the future. Of course, none of this surprises me…. I’ve been telling you about Gold for a while now, and our analysis so far has been spot on! Especially this report: Central Banks On A Gold Buying Spree — What Do They Know That You Don’t? What do the Central Bankers know that you don’t? A lot. Oh, I don’t mean they’re any smarter than you, but what’s the best way to predict the future?  To plan it out and control it! And make no mistake, these are the shadowy people pulling the strings of world affairs behind the scenes….and they rarely lose. So I always say don’t listen to what they say (because they always “talk their book” and lie to your face) but watch what they do! And I think I know EXACTLY what they’re thinking…. In fact, I just published this story and I think this story now explains why the Central Bankers are all stockpiling and hoarding gold: BREAKING: The “BRICS” Just Doubled Overnight The beautiful thing is we live in a time where it's hard to hide real data, especially when you have people like us researching it and posting it for all to see. And what is it that they're doing? Simply put -- they're on a GOLD buying spree!  Yes indeed! It's all been right there in front of us for everyone to see... BRICS expanding, new BRICS currency to be Gold-Backed or Priced in Gold? I could be wrong, but I'm thinking so. In other words:  GOT GOLD?

Globally, central banks added another net 42 tons of gold to their reserves in October. China continues to be the biggest gold purchaser. The People’s Bank of China added another 23 tons of gold to its hoard in October as it expanded its official reserves for the 12th straight month. Since the beginning of the year, the People’s Bank of China increased its reserves by 204 tons, and it has added 255 tons since it resumed official purchases in November 2022. As of the end of October, China officially held 2,215 tons of gold, making up 4% of its total reserves. Most people believe the Chinese hold even more gold than that off the books. There has always been speculation that China holds far more gold than it officially reveals. As Jim Rickards pointed out on Mises Daily back in 2015, many people speculate that China keeps several thousand tons of gold “off the books” in a separate entity called the State Administration for Foreign Exchange (SAFE). Last year, there were large unreported increases in central bank gold holdings.  Central banks that often fail to report purchases include China and Russia. Many analysts believe China is the mystery buyer stockpiling gold to minimize exposure to the dollar. The Central Bank of Turkey also made another big gold buy in October, expanding its holdings by 19 tons. Even with big purchases over the last several months, Turkey is still a net seller on the year. The Turkish central bank sold 160 tons of gold last spring but returned to buying in the third quarter. According to the World Gold Council, the big gold sale earlier this year was a specific response to local market dynamics and didn’t likely reflect a change in the Turkish central bank’s long-term gold strategy. It sold gold into the local market to satisfy demand after the government imposed import quotas in an attempt to improve its current account balance. The country is running a significant trade deficit. Although the Turkish government reinstated gold import quotas in early August, so far we haven’t seen a repeat of sales into the local market to meet elevated demand. The National Bank of Poland also continued its recent gold-buying spree, expanding its reserves by another 6 tons. Its gold holdings have now risen by over 100 tons this year. In 2021, Bank of Poland President Adam Glapiński announced a plan to expand the country’s gold reserves by 100 tons. Now that it’s reached that gold, Glapiński indicated it will continue to add gold to its holdings. This makes Poland a more credible country, we have a better standing in all ratings, we are a very serious partner and we will continue to buy gold. The dream is to reach 20 percent.” When he announced the plan to expand its gold reserves, Glapiński said holding gold was a matter of financial security and stability. Gold will retain its value even when someone cuts off the power to the global financial system, destroying traditional assets based on electronic accounting records. Of course, we do not assume that this will happen. But as the saying goes – forewarned is always insured. And the central bank is required to be prepared for even the most unfavorable circumstances. That is why we see a special place for gold in our foreign exchange management process.” Other significant gold buyers in October included: India — 3 tons The Czech Republic — 2 tons The Kyrgyz Republic — 1 ton Qatar — 1 ton So....what can YOU do about it? I've been telling you for a while now, and perhaps this is the "sign" you need to finally take action!

Oh, and did you know SUPERMAN loves them too? Yup! Here is what conservative star Dean Cain (Superman) says about working with Genesis Gold Group: When Genesis Gold Group was first built, co-founder Jonathan Rose knew two things were necessary in order to thrive in the extremely competitive precious metals industry. First, he knew they wouldn't repeat the same deceptive marketing tactics "Big Gold" companies use to entice customers. Second, he knew they needed spiritual guidance if they were going to succeed in reaching Americans who want their life's savings protected from the tumultuous markets. "If we are going to live up to our namesake, we have to be truly driven by Biblical principles... not only as individuals but as a company," Rose said. Millions of Americans have grown increasingly concerned about the trajectory of our nation. It made sense for Genesis Gold Group to launch by combining over 50-years of experience in gold and silver with proper guidance from faith leaders. This is why Director of Philanthropy David Holland, was one of the first people they hired. "As a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I firmly believe good stewardship of a believer’s resources is important and a foundation for a close walk with Him," Holland said. "It is not difficult to see, based on the lack of biblical values in both our government and financial system, that we are swiftly heading into unstable times." The challenges aren't just coming from the economy or government. The precious metals industry itself is rife with "Big Gold" companies who are willing to use sketchy marketing tactics and over-the-top sales pressure to get Americans into overpriced products. Self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals are becoming more popular for mature Americans who are concerned about inflation, unsustainable debt, the ongoing banking crisis, and "woke" ESG funds filling their retirement portfolios. Click here to reach out to Genesis Gold Group today. The challenge, as Rose noted, is that the vast majority of self-directed IRA products being pushed by "Big Gold" are not built with the customers' best interests in mind. "The process appears to be the same from one gold company to another but there's a huge gap between how secular gold companies do business versus how we do it," Rose said. "We guide our clients to back their retirement accounts with metals that are priced right and have the greatest opportunity for growth. Most gold companies look only at their own margins when filling their customers' depositories." ==>Click here to contact Genesis Gold Group today and receive a free Definitive Gold Guide and learn more about protecting your life's savings from the various threats we're facing today.

America was once a place where exceptionalism allowed us to bring in people who could contribute to our society. We didn’t allow deadbeats, but now we fund them. Criminals weren’t allowed, and now we protect them in sanctuaries. Radical Islamists were screened, but now they can walk over the border and head for college campuses.

Former President Donald Trump promised during a recent campaign stop to put an end to bureaucrats “colluding” to suppress free speech, saying that he planned to fire anyone who had been engaged in such activities during the Biden-Harris administration. Trump made the comments during a Wisconsin rally over the weekend, where he also suggested that the 25th Amendment should be expanded to include the vice president in certain instances.

During the same rally, Trump addressed the fact that Vice President Kamala Harris had been party to President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline — and had even said publicly that she had no regrets about helping the administration to hide that from the American people. “I will support modifying the 25th amendment to make clear that if a vice president lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president of the United States — if you do that with a cover-up of the president of the United States, it’s grounds for impeachment immediately and removal from office because that’s what they did,” he said. “That’s what they did.” WATCH: PRESIDENT TRUMP: I will support modifying the 25th Amendment to make clear that if a Vice President lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the President of the United States, it is grounds for impeachment and removal from office. *Ahem* @KamalaHarris pic.twitter.com/r3cFcA1cYe — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) September 7, 2024
