OJ Simpson, the once beloved NFL superstar and Hollywood actor who was acquitted in a 1995 murder trial that gripped the nation died at his Las Vegas home Wednesday. He was 76. Simpson — whose fame, fortune, and legacy were forever changed despite being cleared by a Los Angeles jury of killing his ex-wife and her male friend in what was dubbed the “trial of the century” – had been battling prostate cancer. Nicknamed “The Juice,” Simpson was one of the most popular athletes of the late 1960s and 1970s. Simpson quickly parlayed his NFL success into show business achievements,...

A Taiwanese university student was hoping to pocket over NT$41 million (S$1.7 million) in insurance payout by claiming that he lost his feet to frostbite. But his frosty fraud has instead landed him in hot water, after investigators found out he had soaked his feet in dry ice for over 10 hours in order to feign frostbite severe enough to warrant a double amputation. Taiwan's Criminal Investigation Bureau said the student, surnamed Chang, conspired with his former high school classmate, surnamed Liao, to orchestrate the fraud, reported Taiwan News.

During their numerous conquests across much of the known world, Alexander the Great and his horse Bucephalas led the elite Macedonian cavalry. According to one legend, they even discovered Himalayan salt, famous today for its pinkish tint and its essential trace elements required by the body. The horses had worked hard in battle and on the trail and during a moment of respite licked the salt-covered rocks in the hills overlooking the Hyaspes River. This alerted the soldiers to the salt deposits there. Whether the anecdote is true or not, it speaks to the bond between horse and rider and...

beer, alcoholic beverage produced by extracting raw materials with water, boiling (usually with hops), and fermenting. In some countries beer is defined by law—as in Germany, where the standard ingredients, besides water, are malt (kiln-dried germinated barley), hops, and yeast.

As the liberal media tries desperately to push the narrative that Joe Biden's 2024 "fiery" State of the Union address was proof he's energetic and capable of handling the presidency, evidence continues to support the theory he was medicated for the speech. PJ Media previously reported that an expert who watched the speech said Biden appeared to be under the influence of "Adderall or any amphetamine.” That Biden had been medicated during the speech was supported by Biden's glitchiness the following day. His campaign speech in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was a slightly repackaged version of his State of the Union...

Another Ramadan is upon us, and as is always the case, the eager-to-be-fooled infidels are out in force. A Catholic diocese in Italy has just called upon priests and laypeople to seek out opportunities to participate in Ramadan observances, as a gesture of goodwill toward Muslims. When will Muslim leaders tell Muslims to participate in Christian worship to show friendship with Christians? Don’t hold your breath. The Catholic Herald reported Friday that the Italian diocese of Bergamo is “instructing its priests to participate in Islamic rituals, citing Pope Francis’ directives on interreligious dialogue.” Diocesan officials issued a directive “urging priests...

Russia went to war in Ukraine in February 2022 with no more than nine flyable Beriev A-50U/M radar planes, which extend sensor coverage over the front line. The four-engine A-50s and the 10 or 15 experienced officers who crew each of them are critical and hard-to-replace assets. Which is why the Ukrainians have devoted scarce resources to finding and striking the $300-million planes. A Ukrainian drone damaged an A-50 on the ground in Belarus last year. On Jan. 14, a long-range Ukrainian missile shot down an A-50 over the Sea of Azov in southern Ukraine. Six weeks later on Feb....

Russia's once-potent arms export industry is collapsing amid the pressures of its war on Ukraine and a struggling economy, according to new data released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on Sunday. The organization's annual update of the arms industry saw Russia fall to third place—behind France and the U.S.—among the globe's largest weapons exporter. Overall, Russia's arms exports fell by 53 percent from 2014–18 to 2019–23. "The decline has been rapid over the course of the past five years," SIPRI's release noted, adding that Russia's number of significant customers has fallen from 31 to 12 nations over...

A bullet, which was used in the same gun that killed John Lennon, is set to head to auction in Newcastle on February 28th. The item belonged to the late Brian Taylor, who worked as a police officer for Northumbria Police. During a visit to New York, he took a group of young individuals who fostered ambitions to become police officers to see the New York Police Department and unexpectedly got caught up in a shooting while riding in a police patrol car. As an apology, they allowed him to visit a museum where they store weapons from high-profile cases...

The co-chair of Harvard’s new antisemitism taskforce abruptly resigned over the weekend — reportedly after she became frustrated that university officials refused to commit to making changes to make the campus safer for Jewish faculty and staff. Harvard officials shockingly announced on Sunday that business professor Raffaella Sadun — who was appointed to the newly-created Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism just last month — had stepped down from her post. Sadun issued a statement that she was “grateful” for a chance to work on the taskforce and that she would continue to work on the issue as a faculty...

Barnard College has mandated that students remove any and all decorations featuring messages from their dorm rooms as a way to avoid “isolating those who have different views and beliefs” — just days after it was hit with a lawsuit accusing it of allowing antisemitism to run rampant. Students at the New York City campus have until Wednesday to remove dry-erase boards, decorations, or messaging affixed to their doors, according to a letter sent out on Friday by Barnard College Dean Leslie Grinage and obtained by The Post. “While many decorations and fixtures on doors serve as a means of...

Indeed, Macca remains haunted by a regretful remark he made to his late mother Mary — a lament that lives on in a legendary line from The Beatles’ 1965 No. 1 single. While “Yesterday” — which was ostensibly a McCartney solo song, with the singer strumming acoustic guitar over a sorrowful string arrangement — has always been considered a breakup ballad, the classic lyric “I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday” is actually a mea culpa to his mother. It was inspired by “feeling very embarrassed because I’d embarrassed my mom,” the 81-year-old Beatle reveals in the latest...

A caravan of thousands of migrants traveled through Mexico en route to the US border on Sunday, stopping in the southern Mexican town of Alvaro Obregon to spend Christmas Eve.

They plan to resume their journey at around 4 a.m. the next day. The caravan casts doubts...

Dense fog wreaked havoc on travelers inside both Chicago international airports - O'Hare and Midway - early Christmas Eve, as over 50 flights were grounded, leaving travelers stuck for the holidays. On Sunday, the National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory for the entire Chicago area that initially expired at 9 a.m., but was later extended to 12 p.m. as heavy fog lingered.

'It was just devastation, violation is what I felt,' Keyanna Evans saysThe Delray Beach Police Department is asking for help to find a man who stole packages off a woman's porch Tuesday afternoon. Keyanna Evans, who is a second-grade school teacher at Village Academy, said the packages were Christmas presents for two boys. She said video captured by her doorbell cameras shows that the thief used a shirt to partially cover his face. "While I'm working, I'm being burglarized," Evans said. "I was in the middle of a parent-teacher conference. ... Once my conference was over, I looked at my...

Great Christmas songs, and great versions of great Christmas songs, are as plentiful as letters to Santa Claus. It’s the holiday for which various-artists compilations were seemingly created (and why the two-disc set “Now That’s What I Call Christmas” was certified 6x platinum just three years after its 2001 release). But great Christmas albums are harder to come by. One reason may be that the genre’s standards are so well-known that new versions must stand up more famous and beloved renditions. Moreover, that canon is also so firmly established that it’s tough to gain a foothold even with a song...
