    In late 2022, an ambulance pulled up to a bombed-out apartment building in this village outside Kyiv. Three people emerged. One wore a gray hoodie, another a baseball cap. Both had masks covering their faces. The third was more easily identifiable: He was unmasked, and had one arm and two prosthetic legs, witnesses told Reuters. The masked men carried cardboard stencils from the ambulance and taped them to what had been an interior wall of an apartment before the Russians obliterated the place. Then they pulled out cans of spray paint and got to work. An absurd image appeared in...

    Two former campaign managers for former President Barack Obama warned that the Democratic Party is a mess ahead of the 2028 presidential election, due to not knowing what they stand for. Jim Messina explained to Axios that while Democrats are planning to rely on voters’ frustrations with President Donald Trump and his administration to pick up additional seats in the upcoming midterm elections, that is not enough to win the presidency. Meanwhile, David Plouffe warned that Democrats are not ready to win “in what are now red states in neutral and even challenging environments.” …

    Why is intelligent life so rare in the universe? According to Richard Feynman, the odds are far lower than most people imagine. While the universe is vast, the emergence of complex, intelligent life requires a delicate balance of physical, chemical, and environmental conditions — conditions that are extremely unlikely to align perfectly.

    By possibly telling the Iranians that President Trump did NOT want to attack Iran, did that give Iranian officials the confidence they could get together for a big meeting, the meeting in which the Ayatollah and other Iranian bigwigs got hit with a massive bombing resulting in the termination of the Ayatollah and many/most at the top including the severe wounding/death of the Son of the Ayatollah aka the Cardboard Ayatollah?Here is more detail of that scenario:This photo is hilarious in hindsight.Trump knew Tucker was talking to Iran.So he invites him to the Oval Office before the strike… knowing Tucker...

In last night's interview Carlson said, "There are other players here. I didn't realize it would be a joint operation with a country that believes in Amalek. Whoever made that decision should be in jail." .....
  • Genetic factors drive the link between cognitive ability and socioeconomic status

    A new study published in Scientific Reports suggests that the connection between a young adult’s cognitive ability and their future socioeconomic status is largely driven by their genes. The findings provide evidence that genetic factors play a larger role in educational and occupational success than environmental conditions. This underlying biology may help explain why some social interventions aimed at reducing inequality tend to fall short over the long term.

    A series of social media posts from a cryptid-focused podcast has ignited speculation about widespread Bigfoot sightings in northeast Ohio, with enthusiasts pointing to what they describe as a concentrated burst of activity. The Bigfoot Society, a podcast and online community dedicated to collecting eyewitness accounts of Sasquatch encounters, says it had received six separate reports between March 6 and March 10 in wooded areas near Mantua and Garrettsville, southeast of Cleveland. The group has described the cluster as a possible "flap," a term used in cryptozoology for multiple sightings within a short time span. "It’s normal for there to...

    “Country Joe” McDonald, who fronted the band Country Joe and the Fish and became an emblem of the 1960s antiwar counterculture through a prominent appearance at the Woodstock festival, died Saturday at age 84. The singer, born Joseph Allen McDonald, died of Parkinson’s in Berkeley, according to a statement on the group’s social media and reported sources close to his wife. McDonald’s best known song was “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag,” a Vietnam protest song he performed at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. The performance included the infamous call-and-response “Fish Cheer,” which had the audience spelling out the F-word at McDonald’s behest. Born on...

    “Previous versions of the film reportedly showed Elio with a pink bike and had a scene where he imagines a life together with his male crush,” it reported. “The changes sparked backlash within the Pixar staff, drama that was compounded by Disney’s decision to cut a transgender character from Pixar’s animated series Win or Lose.” Docter’s comments garnered significant backlash online.

    President Trump said Sunday that increasing prices of oil are “a very small price to pay” for “safety and peace” amid the U.S. conflict with Iran. “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace,” Trump said in a Sunday evening Truth Social post. “ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!” he added. The U.S. conflict in Iran caused a recent surge in domestic oil and gas prices, with the U.S. national average for a gallon of regular gasoline...
