This Zimbabwean member of parliament whose parliamentary submission has gone viral is making a valid point based on peer-reviewed research. She is essentially saying that men who have regular sex are also reducing their risk of prostate cancer. Medical studies suggest a link between frequent ejaculation and a reduced risk of prostate cancer. However, the exact number of times a man should ejaculate per month to maintain optimal prostate health has not been definitively established. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that men who reported ejaculating at least 21 times a month had a lower risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those who ejaculated less frequently. The study, which followed over 31,000 men for several years, suggested a correlation between frequent ejaculation and a lower risk of prostate cancer. A study conducted by Australian researchers and published in the journal British Journal of Urology (BJU) in 2003 found that men who ejaculated more than five times per week in their 20s had a reduced risk of prostate cancer compared to those who ejaculated less frequently. A 2008 study in the British Journal of Urology International examined over 30,000 men and found that those who reported higher ejaculation frequency showed a lower risk of prostate cancer. A 2016 study published in the journal European Urology investigated the association between ejaculation frequency and the risk of prostate cancer. The study found that men with a higher ejaculation frequency had a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, particularly in their 40s. Men over 40 should have regular medical check-ups and discuss any concerns about their prostate health with healthcare providers such as nurses and doctors. While this data is available for us to engage with, we cannot return to the old tradition she mentions in her presentation of passing on young women from the wife’s family to older men. The JAMA study's findings do not justify the revival of the outdated and exploitative traditional practice of passing young women from the wife's family to older men. Read more here; More👇🏿

VIDEO | Telangana: It's nearly 3,900 kilometres between Wuhan in China and Hyderabad in India. But this distance disappeared when a senior urologist performed a robotics-assisted tele-surgery from a hospital in Wuhan on a 57-year-old woman in Hyderabad. The procedure was led by Indian urologist Dr Syed Mohammad Ghouse from Hyderabad's Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology, who was in Wuhan at that point in time. Dr Syed Md Ghouse, Director, Robotic and Minimal Access Urological Surgery, AINU, Hyderabad, said, "It was basically a ureteric reimplantation that was contemplated for a patient who got a ureteric obstruction. What is ureteric obstruction? It is a tube which connects kidney to the urinary bladder and this tube was blocked for this particular patient. This blocked tube was freshly attached to the bladder which is known as ureteric reimplantation. So, this we regularly do in our operation theatre with the robot and console by the side of the patient, but this was extended to Wuhan, because I was called for a conference there ,and there were 4-5 other surgeons, who had done tele-surgery from there to there own countries. I have done from there to this patient and it was done successfully. The patient went home." (Full video available on PTI Videos -

🇺🇸 Before extending my wishes for a blessed Christmas to all, a few reflections on the growing divide between the European Union and the United States. The topic was discussed by a Dutch news outlet with a pro-EU perspective (video). But it warrants some deeper reflection. The European Union is quick to attribute its problems to external forces: to Putin, to Trump, to “foreign disinformation.” Yet anyone willing to look honestly will see that much of what is going wrong in Europe today is the direct result of choices made by the EU itself—structural, ideological, and institutional. As early as 2005, citizens in the Netherlands and France drew a clear line. They voted against the European Constitution. That signal was not respected. Instead, largely the same substance was introduced through a different route via the Lisbon Treaty. Legally permissible, perhaps—but politically and democratically deeply problematic. It marked the beginning of a profound breach of trust between European citizens and European institutions. In 2016, this pattern repeated itself. The Dutch electorate voted “no” to the EU–Ukraine Association Agreement. Once again, the outcome was set aside through an additional declaration. The solemn promise that Ukraine would never become an EU member and that military involvement was excluded later proved to be of little value. The message was clear: democratic input is accepted only when it aligns with the preferred course. This points to a deeper issue: the EU’s democratic deficit. The European Commission is not directly elected, yet it holds the exclusive right of legislative initiative. The European Parliament cannot introduce legislation on its own. National parliaments often receive EU proposals late in the process and have limited ability to amend or reject them. Power continues to concentrate at a level increasingly insulated from direct democratic accountability. This shift is reinforced by the European Court of Justice. EU law effectively takes precedence over national law, including constitutional law. Through ever-expanding interpretations of the treaties, competencies steadily migrate toward Brussels without an explicit democratic mandate. Member states have few meaningful tools to reverse this trend. Economically, the EU has made fundamental errors as well. The introduction of the euro brought together economies with vastly different levels of productivity, debt, and fiscal discipline. The policies of the European Central Bank cannot suit all member states simultaneously. The result has been inflation, growing wealth inequality, and declining purchasing power—particularly in fiscally responsible countries. National governments bear the consequences, yet possess little monetary sovereignty. On top of this, the EU has imposed an energy transition insufficiently grounded in economic reality or global competition. High energy costs and excessive regulation have eroded the competitiveness of European industry. Investment is leaving, production is relocating, and the cost of living is becoming unaffordable for a growing share of the population. The same pattern appears in migration and border policy. The issue is not only scale and lack of control, but also cultural impact. Large-scale immigration without effective integration undermines social cohesion. European culture—shaped by history, traditions, values, and shared norms—is under pressure. Culture is not secondary. *Politics is downstream from culture.* When the cultural foundation erodes, political instability inevitably follows. This is reflected in tensions around security, education, housing, healthcare, and the loss of a shared societal framework. At the same time, the EU continues to layer regulation upon regulation. Small and medium-sized enterprises—the backbone of the European economy—are increasingly burdened by complex, costly, and often ideologically driven obligations. Entrepreneurship gives way to bureaucratic survival. Agriculture faces a similar top-down approach. Farmers are confronted with far-reaching measures imposed without realistic alternatives or sufficient public support. Food security is treated as an afterthought, even though the Covid crisis demonstrated just how vulnerable Europe has become. Strategic autonomy begins with energy *and* food. Fundamental freedoms are also under pressure. Under the banner of combating disinformation, authorities increasingly seek to define what may and may not be said, even as it becomes clear in hindsight that official EU positions on Covid, climate policy, and geopolitics were often incomplete or incorrect. At the same time, citizens’ privacy is curtailed in the name of security, while the European Commission itself operates with striking opacity. Trust erodes when those who govern fail to lead by example. Public funds are also used to finance NGOs that influence or implement policies the EU itself cannot formally pursue. This circumvents democratic oversight and weakens accountability. In foreign policy, the EU is evolving into a geopolitical actor without a clear democratic mandate. Sanctions, arms deliveries, and strategic decisions with far-reaching consequences are made with little public debate. The relationship between EU defense initiatives, NATO, and national armed forces is increasingly unclear. For decades, the EU has presented itself as a project of peace and prosperity. Yet in recent years, diplomacy in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has largely been replaced by escalation and sanctions. These sanctions have primarily harmed European citizens through reduced purchasing power and economic security, while serious peace initiatives have been ignored—or even actively undermined. The fundamental problem of the European Union is not external, but internal: a system that concentrates ever more power, provides ever less accountability, and grows ever more distant from the citizens it claims to represent. The Tower of Babel is wobbling. Rather than assigning blame elsewhere, European leaders must look in the mirror, accept responsibility, and return to first principles: economic cooperation through the internal market, respect for national democracies, cultural sovereignty, and a realistic, diplomatic foreign policy—including support for genuine peace negotiations. I wish everyone a blessed Christmas. 🎄✝️

Ukrainian fencer, six-time world champion and eight-time European champion Olga Kharlan, defeated Russia's Olga Smirnova in the World Championships in Milan. Harlan defeated Russia's Anna Smirnova 15:7. According to the regulations, at the end of the fight, athletes should shake hands. Ukrainian athlete refused to shake hands. According to the rules of fencing, the fight is not considered finished until the handshake. There was no handshake, because instead of her hand, Olga Kharlan extended a rapier to her opponent: so that not to insult with your handshake the memory and honor of those who defend Ukraine from brutal aggression (this practice is also used at times during competitions). Olga was disqualified. In this video, Olga thanks everyone who supported her. Olga's gesture was, in fact, symbolic of a new world order against the old rules that have lost all meaning. The Russian athlete was also a symbol of the current Russia: 1. She performed under a "neutral" flag, but she herself is not "neutral" (her brother Nikita's Instagram has a photo of them together, where the athlete poses with the symbol of terrorism "V" and in a typical Russian military cap. Her brother himself is wearing the military uniform of the Russian army). 2. False victory. The disqualification of the real winner is not a victory, but an information war and a demonstration of the scale of the efforts, money and resources "Russian world" continues to invest in it with redoubled force. 3. By the way, the fencing association was chaired from 2008 to 2022 by Alisher Usmanov (Russian money, Russian lobby). Disqualification for the Ukrainian champion is a huge sacrifice. But her own human disqualification would have been much more terrible. Olga became another symbol of freedom and dignity of her country in the eyes of the world. This is a much more substantial victory. The rule of the extended rapier is about not resorting to false handshakes, not maintaining discredited relationships, consciously or by inertia, but to extend the rapier at the slightest approach of the "Russian world." If we pretend that the world has not changed and nothing is happening, evil will not be defeated!

🇩🇪🔴"You simply take Germans over 70, and you simply kill them." A German comedian said elderly Germans should be killed instead of deporting migrants – protect the healthcare system and decrease wait times at hospitals. The clip, dating from 2023, features left-leaning comedian Moritz Neumeier on the public cultural channel 3sat, which is funded by taxpayers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The joke fell flat with the audience. Despite a public outcry, public broadcaster ZDF defended Neumeier, arguing he was using satire to defend migrants. Notably, if Neumeier had suggested to kill all the migrants to solve any societal problem, there certainly would have been major consequences for his career and he may have very well faced criminal charges. However, European elderly are prime targets for left-wing comedians and mocking them is commonplace. Peter Kostelka, former SPÖ politician and president of the Austrian Pensioners' Association, reacted harshly. "Such statements are unbelievable, unbelievable." "The boundaries are clearly crossed when hatred is stoked, a group of people is defamed across the board and violence and killing are called upon. People who spread such messages must not be given platforms for doing so, especially not on a public TV channel," he said at the time.

The clip, dating from 2023, features left-leaning comedian Moritz Neumeier on the public cultural channel 3sat, which is funded by taxpayers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The joke fell flat with the audience. Despite a public outcry, public broadcaster ZDF defended Neumeier, arguing he was using satire to defend migrants. Notably, if Neumeier had suggested to kill all the migrants to solve any societal problem, there certainly would have been major consequences for his career and he may have very well faced criminal charges. However, European elderly are prime targets for left-wing comedians and mocking them is commonplace. Peter Kostelka, former SPÖ politician and president of the Austrian Pensioners' Association, reacted harshly. "Such statements are unbelievable, unbelievable." "The boundaries are clearly crossed when hatred is stoked, a group of people is defamed across the board and violence and killing are called upon. People who spread such messages must not be given platforms for doing so, especially not on a public TV channel," he said at the time.
