Archaeologists have uncovered a 350-year-old massacre in Alaska that occurred during a war that may have started over a dart game. The discovery reveals the gruesome ways the people in a town were executed and confirms part of a legend that has been passed down over the centuries by the Yup'ik people. A recent excavation in the town of Agaligmiut (which today is often called Nunalleq) has uncovered the remains of 28 people who died during the massacre and 60,000 well-preserved artifacts... Some of the 28 people found "had been tied up with grass rope and executed," said Knecht, adding...

"Regardless of the intent of the display, its impact cannot be ignored — people were hurt and offended," Emily Guerrant, a university spokeswoman, said. Michigan State University has apologized for a campus gift shop display that depicted prominent black figures hanging from a tree. Krystal Davis-Dunn, a student at the university, uploaded photos to Facebook last week of doll-like figures hanging on tree-shaped displays at a gift shop in the Wharton Center for Performing Arts, saying the imagery evoked lynchings. Among the figures in the display hanging by twine from the tree were former President Barack Obama and his wife,...

Guest Piece by Karen Kataline IF ONLY HEÂ’D STOP TRYING TO DRAIN THE SWAMP AND PLAY BALL, THEYÂ’D MAGICALLY FIND HIM LESS REPREHENSIBLE. ItÂ’ll be one heck of a week with the Iowa Caucuses on Monday, Donald TrumpÂ’s State of the Union Speech on Tuesday, and his expected acquittal from DemocratsÂ’ Impeachment charges on Wednesday. By Thursday, we could see them roll out their newest Articles of Impeachment which have probably been in the works since Robert Mueller showed that he has the same great memory and lucidity as Joe Biden. In failed expedition number two (LetÂ’s count the two-year...

Charred fragments found in 170,000-year-old ashes in a cave in southern Africa are the earliest roasted root vegetables yet found. The finding suggest the real "paleo diet" included lots of roasted vegetables rich in carbohydrates, similar to modern potatoes. "I think people were eating a very balanced diet, a combination of carbohydrates and proteins," says team leader Lyn Wadley of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. In 2016, her team found dozens of bits of charcoal in an ash layer in the Border cave in South Africa. This ash layer is what is left from the fires of...

I am a Computer Programmer with 40+ years of experience. If I were allowed to program anything that tallied votes, the probability that a Democrat would ever win an election would be very low. But I haven't been allowed to tally votes, Democrats have; and IOWA has exposed them. ML/NJ

Posted on February 3, 2020 by Msgr. Charles Pope Our Deepest Fear At Mass on Sunday for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, we read a text from Hebrews that describes our most basic and primal fear. Our inordinate fear of what people think of us is rooted in an even deeper fear, one that is at the very core of our being. The Hebrews text both names it and describes it as being the source of our bondage. In order to unlock the secret of the text, I want to suggest to you an interpretation that...

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

President Donald Trump was chastised Monday after video footage showed him goofing off as the national anthem played during a Super Bowl party at his West Palm Beach golf resort. As everyone else around Trump (including his wife and youngest son) stood solemnly with their hands over their hearts, Trump fidgeted, waved his hands, pointed at people and pretended to conduct the music. The video of the president cutting up during the anthem, first reported by the Miami Herald, was part of an Instagram story posted by a real estate agent at the party, which was held for a select...

For its caucuses later this month, the Nevada Democratic Party (NDP) is planning to use an app similar to the one that contributed to the issues reporting the results of the Iowa caucuses on Monday night — and it has paid almost $60,000 to the same company that developed the Iowa app. Shadow Inc., a tech firm that describes itself as a group that creates "a permanent advantage for progressive campaigns and causes through technology," is the company that created the Iowa Democratic Party's app, according to The New York Times. The NDP is also planning to use an app...

A school principal in Cumberland County, N.S., is being criticized for throwing her school's athletic trophies and plaques into a dumpster, apparently as part of a space-making exercise. The discovery was made last Thursday night by Ashley Collins, a former student at Advocate District School who now has two daughters going to the primary-through-Grade-12 school. "I just couldn't believe that something like that would cross someone's mind to do such a thing," said Collins, who graduated from the school in 2007.

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid says he would agree to visit the White House to celebrate his team’s Super Bowl victory if President Trump extends an invitation. While speaking to reporters shortly after the Chiefs' victory on Sunday night, Reid said he “hadn’t even thought” about the potential visit. “I’ll be there. If they’re inviting us, I’ll be there. It’s quite an honor, I think,” he said.

Are the Holy See and the United Nations Too Close for Comfort? NEWS ANALYSIS: The relationship has come under closer scrutiny of late. VATICAN CITY —  When Pope Francis received in private audience United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in December, the U.N. chief trumpeted the fact that the Holy See’s concerns “coincide with the core values” of the United Nations Charter.
