The mass shooter in Dayton, Ohio who was killed by police early Sunday after he shot nine people to death and wounded more than a dozen fit the now-familiar profile of the troubled youth with a well-documented history of threats dating back to high school. The Dayton gunman had a "kill list" and had interacted with law enforcement as a minor, authorities said. Similarly, the man charged with killing 17 people and wounding 17 others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., last year was also well known to high school counselors and local police before he turned...

Legend says a humble French scribe named Nicolas Flamel discovered the philosopher’s stone—the alchemical secret to physical transmutation. To immortality itself. After turning a half-pound of mercury into gold, fear consumed Flamel: what man could resist the temptations of unlimited wealth and immortality? In a show of Christian humility, Flamel hid his manuscripts and dedicated his life to philanthropy. What remained of his synthetic treasure built several schools, seven churches, and 14 hospitals. He died a lifetime later, in 1418. The Democrats appear to have rediscovered Flamel’s alchemical texts and have used their knowledge of the philosopher’s stone to transform...

A gaping hole in a dying tectonic plate beneath the ocean along the West Coast of the United States may be wreaking havoc at Earth's surface, but not in a way most people might expect. The researchers in the new study aren't the first to suggest that the Michigan-size Juan de Fuca (pronounced "wahn de fyoo-kuh") plate has a tear. But thanks to a new, detailed dataset, they're the first to say so with certainty. The Juan de Fuca plate is long, stretching about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) along the Pacific Northwest coast, from Vancouver Island, Canada, to Cape Mendocino,...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confirmed in a letter on Wednesday that the Judiciary Committee will go to court today to force Trump’s former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify. McGahn defied a congressional subpoena to testify a couple months ago, causing the Democrats to go into overdrive. House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) called McGahn a ‘star witness’ alleging Trump obstructed justice when he instructed McGahn to fire Mueller — Trump denies he ever told McGahn to fire Mueller. Mueller was never fired and there was no any underlying crime and no corrupt intent on Trump’s part — NO...

I’m not gonna have much time for analysis afterward, but this is just an example of the lunacy and the insanity that is out there all the time now… FIGLIUZZI: The president said that we will fly our flags at half-mast until August 8th. (pause) That’s 8/8! Now, I’m not gonna imply that he did this deliberately, but I am using it as an example of the ignorance...

Former Vice President Joe Biden says President Donald Trump is “fueling a literal carnage” in America with his incendiary rhetoric and racist attacks. The Democratic presidential front-runner says in Iowa that Trump is incapable of offering the moral leadership that has defined the presidency over the course of history. He says voters “cannot let this man be re-elected president of the United States of America.”
