Chinese e-commerce platforms are selling “T-shirts, umbrellas, handbags, lighters, and mobile phone cases” emblazoned with phrases used by Chinese Politburo member Yang Jiechi during a fiery exchange with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Alaska last week. Chinese Foreign Affairs Director Yang Jiechi delivered a scathing rebuke of Blinken’s opening remarks at a summit in Alaska, after Blinken alluded to “deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyberattacks on the United States and economic coercion toward our allies.” Yang’s riposte included a handful of quotes that Chinese entrepreneurs have since plastered onto merchandise for...

Ark Investment Management is known for its huge bet on the world's hottest electric-car maker. But that hasn't been enough to put Cathie Wood's funds at the top of environmental, social and governance standards.Her actively managed exchange-traded funds ranked below average in a recent study by Jefferies' analysts Steven DeSanctis and Eric Lockenvitz. That's even as Wood's flagship $24 billion Ark Innovation ETF has more than tripled in the past year -- boosted by its investments in Tesla Inc. Elon Musk's company is ARKK's biggest holding and currently comprises 10.5% of the fund, according to data compiled by Bloomberg."Wood is...

The Pentagon’s release of “hard to explain” UFO information is a departure from an intolerable norm. The decades of denigration of honest sighting reports continue to give off a palpable stench of dishonesty. The question now is “…And…?” The good news is that there is now official acknowledgment of something everyone’s known for years – There are weird things flying around and millions of people have seen them since World War 2. The official release of information is also welcome. Check out the coverage of the release; it’s pretty straightforward. These are the things that don’t have easy explanations, or...

A slew of Hollywood celebrities including Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Chrissy Teigen have added their names to Michelle Obama’s effort to convince the Senate to pass the “For the People Act” — a Democratic bill that would expand vote by mail and ease requirements for voter photo identification. Condemned by Republicans as a potential disaster for the country, the 791-page bill would also restore voting rights to convicted felons and facilitate ballot harvesting. In an open letter , Michelle Obama urges Americans to pressure their senators into voting for the bill, which has already passed the House of Representatives....

(RNS) — Americans are becoming more confident they can attend in-person religious services but church attendance at Easter services will still be far lower than usual this year, a new Pew Research poll finds. The poll, conducted in early March among 12,055 Americans, finds the percentage of regular attenders who say they actually have attended religious services — in person — in the past month is slightly higher than it was in June, about 17%. Among Christians, only 39% said they planned to go in person to church services this Easter Sunday (April 4), with white evangelicals the most likely...

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has revealed multiple times that she lacks both wisdom and courage when it comes to the issue of cross-sex impersonation. She just vetoed a bill (HB 1217) that would have required participation in school athletics at all levels to correspond to objective, immutable biological sex rather than immaterial, subjective feelings about “maleness” and “femaleness.” In so doing, she failed girls, disappointed conservatives, and reneged on her enthusiastic and public commitment on March 8 to sign the bill.Noem has sent the bill back to the legislature with changes she says must be made in order for...

Sens. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) and Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) say they will vote against President Biden's nominees amid frustration over the lack of Asian American and Pacific Islander representation and broader concerns about diversity in his Cabinet. While most of Biden's core Cabinet picks have already been confirmed, the opposition could be a significant hurdle to getting additional executive or judicial branch nominations through the 50-50 Senate, where the support of every Democrat is needed if Republicans line up against a nominee. Duckworth first told reporters on Tuesday that she had informed the White House she would oppose any "non-diversity" nominees...

“Hallowed be Thy Name…”Prayer is not just a matter of cause ( our prayer) and effect(God’s answer). True prayer is more of an alignment. We pray to align ourselves with God’s will. God’s name will be hallowed, no matter what you or I do. It is in the plan and prefect will of God that ultimately, God’s name will be seen by all as glorious, exalted, supreme and Holy. Why then does Jesus teach us to pray that God’s name be hallowed, when in fact God’s name shall be Hallowed, now and forever? God wants to lead us to want,...

Explanation: Why are these large stones here? One the more famous stone circles is the Duddo Five Stones of Northumberland, England. Set in the open near the top of a modest incline, a short hike across empty fields will bring you to unusual human -sized stones that are unlike anything surrounding them. The grooved, pitted, and deeply weathered surfaces of the soft sandstones are consistent with being placed about 4000 years ago -- but placed for reasons now unknown. The featured image -- a composite of two consecutive images taken from the same location -- was captured last October under...

The first documented record of salt as an ancient Maya commodity at a marketplace is depicted in a mural painted more than 2,500 years ago at Calakmul, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. In the mural that portrays daily life, a salt vendor shows what appears to be a salt cake wrapped in leaves to another person, who holds a large spoon over a basket, presumably of loose, granular salt. This is the earliest known record of salt being sold at a marketplace in the Maya region. Salt is a basic biological necessity and is...

The Chinese threat to invade Taiwan is serious and more imminent than many understand, the US admiral chosen to lead the Pentagon's Indo-Pacific region said Tuesday. China considers recovering control over Taiwan its "number-one priority," Admiral John Aquilino, nominated to become commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "The rejuvenation of the Chinese Communist Party is at stake" with the Taiwan issue, he said. Aquilino disagreed with outgoing Indo-Pacom commander Admiral Philip Davidson's recent comments that China could attempt to attack and take over Taiwan as soon as six years from now. "My opinion is...
