Former President Donald Trump and Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) have done more than ten times the interviews their opponents, Vice President Kamala Harris and vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) have done, according to a report. Axios compiled the numbers of interviews that both sides have given, which show a stark contrast in their willingness to explain to the American public what their policies and stances are. In fact, the Harris-Walz campaign is on pace to do fewer interviews and press conferences than “any major party’s presidential pairing in modern history,” Axios reported.

As America braces for a wild 2024 election after the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, voters should be reminded why they shouldn’t trust legacy media talking heads like ABC’s The View co-host Ana Navarro who downplayed it. Many of the prominent figures in the media are explicitly connected to Democrats.

Polling, why is it so bad? Its election cycle, and as you know in this day and age with every poll that comes out and plethora of headlines and stories will be written about it, because polling apparently is now a replacement for news.. and has been for a long long time now during election season. Every new poll will be reported both professionally and among the punditry as either the end of days, or the greatest news ever to come about, depending on where in the political spectrum the pundit lies and whether their candidate is up or down....

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, September 16, 1864. The flank attack by the rebel cavalry early yesterday morning was a most daring move, and seems to have been partially successful. The attacking force consisted of three brigades of cavalry with eight pieces of artillery. The main body reached the vicinity of the cattle herd on Buffin's farm, near Coggin's Point just before daylight, while the remainder engaged our cavalry pickets along the entire line from Ream's Station, capturing some and driving others back. This was done to cover the operations of the main rebel column. The attack was...

Cosmos Magazine reports that a new genetic study suggests that the Rapa Nui of Easter Island had contact with the peoples of South America and maintained a stable population before Europeans reached the remote island in the Pacific Ocean in 1722. The DNA samples in the study were obtained from 15 Rapa Nui individuals who lived between 1670 and 1950, and whose remains are currently held in France at the Museum of Mankind. "We looked into how the Indigenous American DNA was distributed across the Polynesian genetic background of the Rapa Nui," said Víctor Moreno-Mayar of the University of Copenhagen....

The National Health Service in England, founded in 1948 to deliver health care directly to all in need following World War II, is in trouble. Not only is it broke, but it is also broken, as the new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer just pointed out in response to a recent government study. The waiting lines for care are prohibitive. A recent study revealed that 8 million people in the United Kingdom are waiting for their care, with 40 percent waiting for more than 18 weeks. An incredible 14,000 people died just last year while waiting for care in England’s...

China has proudly proclaimed itself to be a Communist country ever since Mao Zedong came to power in the late 1940s. I understand the term “Communism” in the context of a country like China to mean a socialist (state-directed and controlled) economic system with the additional element of political repression allowing no dissent from official orthodoxy. China’s economic history is a bit more complex than just 75 years of tightly-controlled socialism. Its economy languished (including the usual mass deaths and starvation) for the first 40 or so years of Communist rule. Next, under party leader Deng Xiaoping and successors from...

In Arizona, voters need to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in statewide elections. Those who do not provide proof are registered as “federal-only” voters, which allows them to cast a ballot only in federal elections. But the state says it discovered nearly 100,000 voters on the rolls who did not provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote but were nonetheless tagged as eligible to vote in both state and federal elections. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer flagged an “erroneous voter registration record” to Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs on Sept. 7. A green card holder...

According to a Hürriyet Daily News report, excavations at the site of the ancient port of Andriake uncovered the remains of decorative millefiori panels, a glasswork technique fusing different sizes and colors of glass rods which are then cut into sections and re-fused together to form patterns. Nevzat Çevik of Akdeniz University said that each of the hundreds of small, flat glass fragments measures about one and one-half inches square. They were found in the city's agora, in a building thought to have been the port's administrative center in the fifth and sixth centuries A.D., based upon the coins and...

ROME — The Church is much more “alive” outside of the Western world, and pastors need to become less “Eurocentric” in their vision of Christianity, Pope Francis said Wednesday. Reflecting upon his recently completed apostolic visit to Asia and Oceania, the pope expressed his concern that “in thinking of the Church, we are still too Eurocentric, or as they say, ‘Western.’” In reality, “the Church is much bigger, much bigger than Rome and Europe, much bigger!” he said, addressing the crowds gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for his weekly general audience.

Former President Trump’s favorability rating has risen by 5 percentage points in the past month, according to a survey released Wednesday. The Gallup poll shows Trump’s favorability has bounced back in September, returning to June levels — before President Biden withdrew from the race. Roughly 46 percent of respondents had a favorable view of the GOP nominee in the latest survey, compared to 41 percent in August. Harris, who rose to the top of the ticket after Biden stepped aside, saw a dip in her favorability — dropping from 47 percent to 44 percent in the recent poll.

Hürriyet Daily News reports that an excavation conducted at the Maydos Church Hill Mound in northwestern Turkey uncovered a 3,900-year-old cylinder seal, a 3,400-year-old lead sling stone, spindle whorls, weaving tools, metal tools, and drills dated to the Middle Bronze Age, around 2000 B.C. Archaeologist Göksel Sazcı of Onsekiz Mart University said that when sling stones are found, they are usually made of stone or terracotta. "The ones made of lead are very rare and are mostly found in the Hellenistic and Roman periods," he added. "Such finds are mostly known from the Mediterranean island of Crete, its Knossos settlement,...

Landmark new research shows Ice Age teens from 25,000 years ago went through similar puberty stages as modern-day adolescents. In a study published today in the Journal of Human Evolution of the timing of puberty in Pleistocene teens, researchers are addressing a knowledge gap about how early humans grew up.Found in the bones of 13 ancient humans between 10 and 20 years old is evidence of puberty stages. Co-led by University of Victoria (UVic) paleoanthropologist April Nowell, researchers found specific markers in the bones that allowed them to assess the progress of adolescence."By analyzing specific areas of the skeleton, we...

It’s easy to see why the State Education Department stalled on releasing the latest English and math test scores for grades 3-8, and why New Yorkers won’t get the final (whitewashed) results until November: They show fewer than half of all kids statewide scoring grade-level-proficient or better in English; just 52% in math. And, for those that took the science exam, even worse: just 35%. The kids took the multiple-choice tests back in April and May: SED has no excuse for the absurdly long time in releasing even preliminary results; officials’ protest that they’re trying to produce them “as quickly...

given vested interests in party politics and the media—and all the money to be made selling chaos, mutual loathing, and emotional anger to citizens—nothing much is likely to change.

Russians are furious with Vladimir Putin's regime after Ukraine destroyed an important ammunition depot in Russia on Wednesday. Ukraine fired around 100 drones at the depot in Toropets, in the Tver Oblast of Russia. Kyiv says that Iskander and Tochka-U missiles were stored there alongside bombs and artillery shells. Video footage shared online showed the depot up in flames after the attack. Now, Russians have raged at the authorities for allowing the attack to happen. Posting on a Toropets chatroom on the social media site VK, one woman said: “Why wasn’t the ammunition underground?! What are you doing???? In Kudino,...

The former Chief Patrol Agent (CPA) for the San Diego Sector, and prior to that, the CPA for the Grand Forks Sector, responsible for border security operations along 861 miles of the U.S and Canadian border, issued explosive evidence against the Biden-Harris administration on Tuesday, saying he was warned not to release any information on the increase in illegal immigrants with ties to terrorism crossing the border illegally. “The only true consequence we have to slow down and discourage people from coming into the United States illegally is sending them back to their country of origin,” Former CPA Aaron Heitke...
