"Oh… oh no… not again," Obama was heard muttering on stage as Biden appeared to experience yet another of his frequent...

Education included the general ethos of Christianity and Biblical morality as well as academic subjects. The New England Primer and later, the nation-wide McGuffey's Readers (120+ million copies) were the primary instruments of education, and in helping to form...

Now this is what you want to see in your rivalries! Courtesy of a weather delay, Saturday night’s College World Series game between Texas A&M and Florida got off to a late start.

Things didn’t get started until 10:15 p.m. CT, and with some fans already being drunk, it didn’t take very long for things to...

Tis the season for emergency room visits after inappropriately using Ozempic to lose weight for the summer. “Drugs including Ozempic and Wegovy should only be used by people prescribed them for obesity or diabetes,” Stephen Powis — the national medical director of NHS England, the country’s publicly funded healthcare system — urged last week at a conference in Manchester. “I’m worried about reports that people are misusing them — they are not intended as a quick fix for people trying to get ‘beach body ready,'” added Powis, per The Times of London.

McCall and Jon Nelson claimed their son Hut, 13, was so badly affected by the quiz he constantly worried his friends disliked him and stopped playing football. His mother said they had the same conversation with him hundreds of times as he was unable to move on, and it 'drastically changed his life'. The questionnaire was given to him by administrators at Mount Logan Middle School in Logan, Utah, on February 7 as...

Here’s a thought. What if the kids are all right? New polling shows young voters in the US are shrugging off their habit of voting left and actually thinking of voting Republican in November. In almost equal numbers to their Democrat-voting contemporaries. All this despite the daily diet of Democrats trying to throw everything at young voters to woo them. Anyone who gets daily messages in their inbox from the Biden- Harris campaign will know how hard they are trying to make voting Democrat “cool” to young voters. In the past few days alone this has included “direct messages” from...

What does education have to do with it? People who emphatically disapprove of Donald Trump — in short, Trump-haters — are likely to be college graduates, whereas people who are quite devoted to him — Trump-lovers — are likely to lack a college degree. This differential is commonly used by Trump-haters to argue that they are right and the Trump-lovers wrong. “After all,” they contend, “if we’ve had more years of education, especially higher education, it follows that we are smarter than our less educated rivals, and if we are smarter, it follows that we are far more likely to...
