Anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman won’t appear on US currency for nearly a decade, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Wednesday. An image of Tubman, a former slave who helped others escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad, was supposed to replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill next year. “The primary reason we’ve looked at redesigning the $20 bill is for counterfeiting issues,” Mnuchin said in front of Congress on Wednesday. “Based upon this, the new $20 bill will now not come out until 2028,” he added. President Trump criticized the plan to replace Jackson on the note during the...

It does seem that men are wearing neckties less and less. Taking the train to Manhattan, I only see a few men wearing ties these days. I'm thinking maybe they keep their ties at the office and put them on there? After all, not only do I keep a stash of ties in my office but I have my dress shoes there as well so I don't have to wear them back and forth on the train. Instead, I come into the city wearing slip-ons like Mr. Rogers used to put on when he came into his house on that...

What Is It & How Does It Work? As the name states, a sand 3D printer uses a working medium of sand-like materials, including actual silica sand, ceramics, or even metal particles. The technology is binder jetting, which uses a binder polymer to bind the particles together into a physical 3D model. This can be used to produce finished products or molds for an alternative material to be poured into. The history of sand 3D printing begins in the late 1990s with a German company, Generis, and with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the United States. Generis focused on...

Presidential contenders are in a battle to out-give one another. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., proposes a whopping $50,000 per student college loan forgiveness. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., proposes free health care for all Americans plus illegal aliens. Most Democratic presidential candidates promise free stuff that includes free college, universal income, “Medicare for All,” and debt forgiveness. Their socialist predecessors made promises, too. “Freedom and Bread” was the slogan used by Adolf Hitler during the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) campaign against President Paul von Hindenburg. Hitler even promised, “In the Third Reich every German girl will find a husband.”...

The midterm elections may have been a sign of what's ahead for the 2020 presidential election: experts say the voter turnout could be the highest in a century. The big picture: According to Michael McDonald, an elections expert at the University of Florida, turnout for the 2020 presidential election could be as high as 67% — the highest it's been since at least 1916. If that happens, President Trump will have a tougher fight for a second term. •He's driving turnout among those most unhappy with him (younger voters and people of color) even when he's not on the ballot....

ROME - Catholic bishops across Europe encouraged their faithful to go to the polls in late May to elect members of the European Parliament who would promote unity and take seriously the power of the European Union to do good in the world. Citizens of the 28 countries of the European Union were set to go to the polls May 23-26 to elect more than 700 members to serve five-year terms in the European Parliament. In the lead up to the voting, Catholic bishops warned of the spread of forms of nationalism and populism that could weaken the EU and...

A bungling felon from Washington state made a series of blunders when he shot himself in the testicles and tried to hide the weapon — all while storing drugs in his anus, a report said Wednesday. Cameron Jeffrey Wilson, 27, was carrying a pistol in his front pocket while in his Cashmere, Wash., apartment on April 5 when the firearm accidentally discharged and pierced his groin and thigh, according to the Wenatchee World News. Wilson, who is a 13-time convicted felon, told his girlfriend to dispose of the weapon before heading to the hospital, the paper said. When the ex-con...

Your diet may have more impact on your cancer risk than you might think, a new study has found. An estimated 80,110 new cancer cases among adults 20 and older in the United States in 2015 were attributable simply to eating a poor diet, according to the study, published in the JNCI Cancer Spectrum on Wednesday. "This is equivalent to about 5.2% of all invasive cancer cases newly diagnosed among US adults in 2015," said Dr. Fang Fang Zhang, a nutrition and cancer epidemiologist at Tufts University in Boston, who was first author of the study. "This proportion is comparable...

Passes bill to protect religious business owners from secular LGBTQ zealotsAUSTIN, Texas (ChurchMilitant.com) - In a move that traditional U.S. Christians are celebrating as a triumph for American pluralism, legislators in the Lone Star State passed the controversial Senate Bill 1978 on Monday. More commonly known as the "Save Chick-fil-A bill," SB 1978 ensures private business owners cannot be discriminated against for holding unpopular views. The bill was drafted by Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) after the San Antonio City Council denied a contract that would have permitted the opening of a Chick-fil-A franchise in the city's airport. As passed, however,...

Yekaterinburg, May 22, Interfax - The results of the poll conducted by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) showing that the majority of Yekaterinburg residents oppose the construction of the church in the park give grounds to discard this option, Sverdlovsk Region governor Yevgeny Kuivashev said on his Instagram account. "I believe that the figures published by the VCIOM give grounds to exclude the park in front of the Drama Theater from the list of possible places for St. Catherine's Church. I will request Yekaterinburg Mayor Alexander Vysokinsky not to add this location to the list of places while...

Nunes demands information on Mifsud from government agencies House Intelligence Committee ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes on efforts to investigate the investigators.

"I respectfully request that you ask Prime Minister May about the British government's knowledge of the Steele dossier and whether the...
