Let me begin by saying I do not want all humans living in America. However, to make my point that we are not overpopulated, I will use the lower 48 states as my example to prove all humans can live comfortably in the the continental United States. I will offer actual updated numbers to show how I come to my conclusion, that not only is the World not overpopulated, but we are in fact hundreds of years away from it happening.Since the mid 1960's liberals have been claiming the World is coming to an end, because there are too many...

SPARC could be the first fusion reactor to produce net energy—10 years before ITER and in a machine 10 times smaller. A startup chasing the dream of plentiful, safe, carbon-free electricity from fusion, the energy source of the Sun, has settled on a site, timetable, and key technology for building its compact reactor. Flush with more than $200 million from investors, including Bill Gates’s Breakthrough Energy, 3-year-old Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced today that later this year it will start to build its first test reactor, dubbed SPARC, in a new facility in Devens, Massachusetts, not far from its current...

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - As the trial for one of the former Minneapolis police officers charged in George Floyd's death approaches, city leaders are promising security for the trial won't prevent peaceful demonstrations in the city.

No one is safe from the cancel culture of the left, as evidenced by the latest victim — beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss. However, a short trip into the past reveals that the party who now accuses Dr. Seuss of racism had a very different message just a few years ago. In 2015, then-resident Barack Obama was .. very much a fan of Theodor Seuss Geisel’s work. “Pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss,” he said to a smiling group of White House interns. . Obama didn’t stop with that broad statement. He went...

The student body president of the University of Connecticut (UConn) has fallen under fire by his peers in student government over his support of pro-free speech legislation on campus. The Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Governing Board recently issued a “vote of no confidence” for student body president Mike Hernández over his support of a proposed free speech bill, according to a report by Daily Campus. The legislation in questions seeks to protect the right of students to freely express their opinions within student government and at the university as a whole. This concept, however, is facing backlash on campus, as...

An itchy rash may be a side effect of receiving the Moderna vaccine, doctors said. About 12 recipients in a 30,000-person trial have seen their arms turn red, sore, itchy or swollen about a week after receiving the first dose, according to a letter from doctors published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Five of the patients had large skin lesions more than 10 centimeters (4 inches) in diameter at the injection site, the letter said. Two experienced the rash in other places, such as near the elbow and on the palm of the hand.

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said Thursday that the ban on former President Donald Trump will be lifted when the “risk of violence” is deemed by the company to have decreased. YouTube, alongside many other social media sites, suspended Trump’s account following unrest at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, which Trump was accused by congressional Democrats and some Republicans of inciting. According to Wojcicki, the suspension will not be permanent because of the platform’s “three strikes” rule. Speaking during an interview with the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank focusing on foreign policy, Wojcicki said that YouTube is reviewing Trump...

Fifty Michigan National Guard troops have complained of “gastrointestinal” issues after being served undercooked meals and food contaminated with metal shavings, Fox News reports. The tainted food complaints began in mid-February, were initially resolved, and resurfaced this past weekend. In a letter to the National Guard, the entire Michigan delegation in the House reported that “contracted meals” were being used “to support the entire federal response stationed at the Capitol.” “However, it is clear that these contracted meals are poorly prepared, oftentimes inedible, and highly inadequate to support our soldiers,” the letter states, urging them to switch contractors.

GPs will prescribe more than 700,000 people diet plans, apps and wearable activity trackers in a Government anti-obesity drive. Ministers said they are committed to slimming the country's waistlines, after an alarming study revealed a high obesity rate was partly to blame for Britain's devastating coronavirus death toll. World Obesity Federation research found Covid deaths have been 10 times higher in countries where at least half of adults are overweight, and they have accounted for a staggering 90 per cent of global deaths. Thousands of lives may have been saved if the population was slimmer, experts said, and lockdown measures...

NASA says the puffy phenomenon developed after “a three-stage suborbital sounding rocket” was launched Wednesday from the Wallops Flight Facility on the Virginia coast. NASA tweeted photos of two different “clouds” generated by the rocket: One was the widely seen red/pink “puff” and the other was something akin to a ragged looking white rainbow. The puffy version became known as “the red cloud” and “cotton candy cloud” on social media, as inquiries spread Wednesday night. Sightings were reported around 6:30 p.m. from Pennsylvania to as far south as Puerto Rico, where tweets said an investigation was in progress. NASA warned...
