Explanation: After arriving at Jezero Crater on Mars, Perseverance went for a spin on March 4. This sharp image from the car-sized rover's Navcam shows tracks left by its six wheels in the martian soil. In preparation for operations on the surface of the Red Planet, its first drive lasted about 33 minutes. On a short and successful test drive Perseverance moved forward 4 meters, made a 150 degree turn in place, backed up for 2.5 meters, and now occupies a different parking space at its newly christened Octavia E.

According to one recent estimate, American colleges in the last few years, in a period of extraordinary enrollment decline, have added 70 million square feet of new instruction and research facilities on their campuses. That is more space than in 10 Pentagons, the largest office facility in the U.S. Yet enrollments for fall 2020 had declined by about 2 million students compared to 9 years ago. Enrollments have been falling while campus buildings are growing. American higher education has been suffering from a huge and expensive Edifice Complex.

Today, more than at any other time in our society, our rejection of God’s moral standards has led to an epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases and infections. This commentary will be a devastating one about our society. It will show you how we have become no better than past societies of the Romans, Greeks, Babylonians, and yes those of Sodom and Gomorrah. I suggest you have a shower ready to scrub yourself clean after learning how truly disgusting our society has become. As you look at the graph below, you can see that by the mid 1990's STDs started to...

First Gov. Andrew Cuomo hid the truth about deaths of nursing home residents from the public. Then his administration lied about why. Then, pretending to come clean, it lied about why it lied. Enough. Mr. Cuomo has squandered the public’s trust at a time when it’s needed more than ever. Amid an enduring pandemic, it is vital that people can believe what their governor and their government are telling them, and that the rules they’re asked to follow and the sacrifices they’re asked to make are truly in the interest of public health. It is time for Mr. Cuomo to...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) — A bill in Tennessee would make obstructing a highway a felony. It would also grant immunity to drivers who unintentionally injure or kill someone blocking a highway. That would include protesters who illegally block roadways.

The House Criminal Justice Committee was scheduled to take the legislation on Wednesday. The bill would upgrade the offense of obstructing a highway or street from a Class B or...

FYI. I spent the morning uninstalling updates from last month to my MS Office 10 programs. Their recent 'security fix' included removing the mail-merge wizard and functions. So if you use MS Office, check the menu of your Word program to see if 'mailings' is still there. If not, and you plan to use it, you may need to uninstall the updates from Feb.

A man in Ireland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough". "Dad, what are you talking about?'" the son screams. "We can't stand the sight of each other any longer", the father says. "We're sick of each other and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her". Frantically, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone, "Like hell, they're getting...

On the heels of Dr. Seuss being muzzled for racist depictions in a few books, another beloved childhood memory is also being called problematic ... one Pepe Le Pew. The Looney Tunes character fell into the crosshairs of NYT columnist Charles M. Blow -- who wrote an op-ed titled "Six Seuss Books Bore a Bias" ... where he argued racism is deeply embedded into American culture (especially pop culture) and fed to kids at a young age.

The weapons of warfare changed dramatically from the time of the Spanish-American War to the dawn of WWI that used airplanes to wage war. And the transition from WWI to WWII saw another paradigm shift primarily with the ground-breaking technology developed by the Nazis with their V1 cruise missiles and V2 rocket-powered ballistic missiles. And WWIII that started last year right around this same time last March. Well, that war is using weapons that no one except for maybe hardcore bible believers ever saw coming. world-war-three-3-covid-19-coronavirus-new-world-order-bill-gates-event-201 by Geoffrey GriderMarch 5, 2021 NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE: FacebookTwitterRedditEmailPinterestPrintShare The nations of...

GOP Sen. Rand Paul said Friday he was "successful" in preventing the Senate coronavirus relief bill from including a provision that would provide Paycheck Protection Program assistance to Planned Parenthoods across America, Fox News has learned.

"Democrats knew this was never about COVID relief or helping small businesses," Paul, R-Ky., told Fox News. "It was a shameless attempt to fund their radical agenda on the...

An NBC News poll released last week reflects one of the most significant political trends of the past 30 years – the realignment of blue-collar workers who’ve left the party of Planned Parenthood and Drag Queen Story Hour for the party of energy-independence, fair-trade deals and border security. The poll shows that between 2010 and 2020, the Republican share of blue- collar votes rose from 45% to 57%. Within the same demographic, its Hispanic vote went from 23% to 36%, while its black working-class vote went from 5% to 12%. In 1992, Bill Clinton carried 49% of counties where at...

Alleging “severe psychological trauma and irreparable damage,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) is suing former President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala) for “one billion dollars.” “These men incited the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol that terrorized me and others,” Swalwell said. “My fear was so intense that I shat myself.

Cancel culture becomes dangerous when it can be weaponized against someone — and it looks as though that’s exactly what happened to John Schnatter. The Papa John’s Pizza founder was forced to step down from his role as company pitchman and CEO for using a racial slur during a May 2018 conference call. At that time of the call, Schnatter was already in the left’s crosshairs and smeared as a racist for his outspoken objections to the NFL brass allowing players to kneel for the national anthem. Apparently Jason Stein, Laundry Service CEO at the time, “began to discuss how...

At a press conference following the mass stabbing attack by an Afghan migrant in Vetlanda, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven claimed the incident was not a migration issue.

Now we have a very serious incident in Vetlanda. Where innocent people are hurt, where their relatives are deeply worried,”...
