1. According to legend, the first Marine Corps recruitments took place in a bar. Marine tradition holds that the Corps was formed in a bar. The story dates to late November 1775, when newly commissioned Captains Samuel Nicholas and Robert Mullan supposedly organized the first Marine Corps muster at Tun Tavern, a popular watering hole in Philadelphia. The two officers are said to have lured potential Marines with mugs of beer and the promise of adventure on the high seas, and their recruits later made up the first five companies that served aboard Continental Navy ships. While there’s little hard...

Eight members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted Sunday evening to proceed to a House-passed continuing resolution, taking a major step toward ending the 40-day shutdown. The Senate voted 60-40 to advance the House bill, which will serve as the legislative vehicle for a bipartisan deal to fund military construction, veterans’ affairs, the Department of Agriculture and the legislative branch through Sept. 30 and the rest of government through Jan. 30. It sets the stage for the House to return to Washington later this week to vote on the bill in hope of getting to President Trump’s desk for his...

Two Major League Baseball pitchers allegedly conspired with sports bettors to rig pitches they threw so the bettors would profit from illegal wagers, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn and the FBI announced in an indictment on Sunday. Cleveland Guardians player Luis Leandro Ortiz was arrested Sunday at Logan Airport in Boston. Emmanuel Clase, also of the Guardians, was not yet in custody as of Sunday afternoon. According to the indictment, the pitchers started conspiring with sports bettors in 2023 on specific pitches they would throw during MLB games. The bettors then used that information to place prop bets worth hundreds of...

Figured I would do some 'rough' figure Math for any of the NYC Socialists who can read. Feel free to check the article for references above. Population of NYC= 8,478,072 Budget is 188 Billion a year. 1% of NYC accounts for 90% of Tax Revenue for the NYC. Therefore 84,000 people are responsible for 169 Billion of the 188 Billion of Revenue for NYC. Here is the Math for soaking the Rich. If the Rich leave, say 50% to florida or other districts, you lose 50% of 169 Billion of your budget. That's a no go for Police, Fire, Sanitation,...

Senate Majority Leader John Thune finally got the eight Democrats/Independents he needed to vote in favor of a Continuing Resolution that will allow the government to reopen. Tonight’s vote was just one step — though a critically important one — in a process that could take several days to play out. Among other things, the CR is different from the one that passed the House on September 19 so the House will have to vote on it again.

Peter Thiel tells Shawn Fisher at the Free Press that: Capitalism is not working for a lot of people in New York City. It’s not working for young people.Dear me. Here we have the whole world fainting because Tucker Carlson dared -- dared -- to interview Nick Fuentes, and Peter Thiel says something completely off-the-charts wacko. Capitalism not working? Capitalism works every minute, every hour, every day, for everyone, whether you like it or not. What is not working right now is the mountain of government programs and regulations and left-wing conceits that are piled high on capitalism like spices...

A war hero warns Brits — on live TV — that they are no longer free. For once, a video has gone “viral” on social media platforms that actually deserves to be seen by everyone. It involves hundred-year-old Royal Navy and Arctic Convoy veteran Alec Penstone in a live appearance on Friday’s episode of Good Morning Britain. Co-hosts Adil Ray and Kate Garraway intended to use Penstone as a pre–Armistice Day prop for conveying to the country’s viewing audience that corporate news reporters are just as patriotic as ordinary Brits who are thrown in jail for waving Union Jack flags...

The killer came by night – a masked man on a motorbike who struck without warning and then sped away. It's become a familiar pattern in some corners of the new Syria in recent months, as the country's fragile unity is eroded by revenge attacks and sectarian killings. The main targets are Alawites, the sect of the ousted Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad. But this time, on 1 October, the victims were Christians – Wissam and Shafiq Mansour, cousins who were both 39, and were as close as brothers. As they chatted with a friend over coffee and cigarettes, they were...

@RandPaul Tonight the process of opening the govt begins, less chaos is a good thing but hidden deep in the swamp speak of the Republican bill will be a waiver of PAYGO the long-standing law requiring new spending to be offset with cuts. And so it goes, a trillion here a trillion there. $38 trillion in debt and counting. A depressing outcome

Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. It is elliptical, or slightly oval-shaped. This means there is one point in the orbit where Earth is closest to the Sun, and another where Earth is farthest from the Sun. The closest point occurs in early January, and the far point happens in early July (July 7, 2007). If this is the mechanism that causes seasons, it makes some sense for the Southern Hemisphere. But, as an explanation for the Northern Hemisphere, it fails miserably.In fact, Earth's elliptical orbit has nothing to do with seasons. The reason for seasons was explained in...
