Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy is asking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to intervene and force Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to apologize for tweeting that Sen. Ted Cruz “almost had me murdered” during the Capitol riot. Roy wrote to Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday that the 31-year-old Democrat, who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens, must say she’s sorry. “[S]he accused Senator Ted Cruz, in essence, of attempted murder,” Roy wrote.

Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) on Friday told MSNBC’s “Live” that it was “sad” the Republican Party embraced “white supremacists and conspiracy theorists.” On impeachment, Hirono said, “The conviction for inciting insurrection, that’s first and foremost on my mind. Let’s do that first. We have a bunch of Republicans who are not willing to hold this president accountable. We have a Republican Party embracing White supremacists and conspiracy theory believers. That’s the party. So first and foremost, we need to get on with the impeachment trial. unless the president comes one evidence that says he’s totally innocent of everything, which I...

If you are not a member of the ruling oligarchy, you can buy a stock only when it benefits the ruling oligarchy, but not when the oligarch shorted the stock and will lose money. In that case, you can only sell. They, the esteemed members of the system, on the other hand, can do what they want at any point to win the rigged game.

The Biden admin's executive actions in the last 48 hours are attacking farms and implementing the technocratic takeover of food, accelerating a global collapse in food production by paying farmers NOT to grow food, cutting their financial support, tasking Tom Vilsack's USDA with a Net-Zero goal, changing COVID guidance on grocery stores, restaurants, and meatpacking plants. Meanwhile, the media is finally acknowledging the soybean shortage, and the US is now also experiencing a fertilizer shortage, which will further increase costs and cause yields will collapse. As other countries stop exporting to protect domestic supplies, the US has been wholly sold...

The blocking of inceptor function leads to an increased sensitization of the insulin signaling pathway in pancreatic beta cells....

Why are Americans still wearing masks? Why did they ever start? During the 1918 Spanish influenza, many Americans refused the mask. Even some health care workers refused. A historical account of that era recently printed in the New York Times called them “a symbol of government overreach, inspiring protests, petitions and defiant bare-face gatherings.” Penalties in San Francisco ranged from $5 to $10, or 10 days in jail. On November 9, 1,000 people were arrested, swelling city jails to standing room only — apparently no social distancing required. Even Mayor Davie of Oakland was jailed. Those who couldn’t pay the...

No one has yet managed to travel through time – at least to our knowledge – but the question of whether or not such a feat would be theoretically possible continues to fascinate scientists. As movies such as The Terminator, Donnie Darko, Back to the Future and many others show, moving around in time creates a lot of problems for the fundamental rules of the Universe: if you go back in time and stop your parents from meeting, for instance, how can you possibly exist in order to go back in time in the first place? It's a monumental head-scratcher...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has learned not to extend his hand to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) because it will get bitten off. On Thursday, Cruz was pleasantly surprised that he had found common ground with the progressive congresswoman after Robinhood removed GameStop, AMC Theatres, and other names from its platform. AOC called the move "unacceptable" and demanded an investigation. Sen. Cruz said he "fully agreed" with her.And AOC responded by arguing that he tried to have her murdered a few weeks back, when rioters stormed the Capitol during the electoral college certification.One of Sen. Cruz's fellow Texans in Congress, Rep....

In one of nature’s mysteries, 15 states will soon witness the reemergence of Brood X — or the Great Eastern Brood — of periodical cicadas. These “large, winged, kind of scary-looking but mostly harmless flying insects known for their almost deafening buzz” emerge in-unison every 17 years. Periodical cicadas have “black bodies and bold red eyes,” and spend 17 years lying underground in “wingless nymph form,” feeding on sap. While most cicadas travel as individuals or in small groups after reaching adulthood, periodical cicadas follow a strict schedule... “The end of May through June, it can get pretty loud —...

Mayor London Breed delivered an upbeat message in her State of the City address Thursday about the future of San Francisco, which has been battered in the past year by the COVID-19 pandemic “I believe we are at the start of an incredible recovery,” Breed said. “We aren’t just going to go back to the way things were. We aren’t just going to repair. We are going to reinvigorate. To come back even stronger. We will put people back to work. Our businesses will flourish. Opportunities will expand.” Breed promised San Francisco will “bounce back” as she laid out a...

Detroit-style pizza was once locked down to the state of Michigan, but recently, thanks to chains like Jet’s, it’s slowly been trending its way around the United States. The original version was developed in 1946 at a restaurant called Buddy’s Rendezvous (now known as Buddy’s Pizza). Like so many American pizzas, it was inspired by an older version: it’s an offshoot of the puffy, bready Sicilian-style (think focaccia). It’s always baked in blue steel pans, and its one big defining characteristic is the crust. The crusts of Detroit-style pizzas aren’t the bare pizza bones a lot of people throw away....

When you’ve lost the New York Times… In actuality Joe Biden hasn’t lost the paper of record, but his non-stop signing of executive orders to the exclusion of any demands for legislative action has been met with some slight disapproval from the Times editorial board. Titled “Ease up on the executive actions, Joe,” the editorial acknowledges that “things are going the same way they often do in Washington” but emphasizes that “this is no way to make law.” Biden’s own disaffection with the way the Times and other media outlets are treating him in his early days is the subject...

January 29, 2021 saw the March for Life in Washington, D.C., which recently saw the storming of the Capitol by individuals incited to violence by President Trump’s documentation of 2020 election fraud and an exhortation for those marcging to “peacefully and patriotically” protest. This year’s “march” was a virtual one due to the Chinese Wuhan pandemic, the irony being that abortion has and will kill more huma beings than Cov-d-19 or ani other virus. President Trump spoke in person at last year’s live Mach for Life, the first President to do so. Joe Biden did not speak at this year’s...

Residents have launched an effort to get a measure on the November ballot that would explore a Colorado county becoming part of Wyoming. A Colorado campaign finance disclosure website showed that Christopher Richards registered political committee Weld County Wyoming last February, KDVR-TV reported. Its pushing a ballot measure that would instruct Weld County commissioners to engage and explore the annexation with Wyoming.
