@ChadPergram Biden on gun legislation: I'm the one has ever gotten (it) passed, man. Everybody keeps wondering whether I'm serious about dealing with rational gun control. The only gun control legislation ever passed is mine and it's going to happen again.

Explanation: A spacesuit floated away from the International Space Station 15 years ago, but no investigation was conducted. Everyone knew that it was pushed by the space station crew. Dubbed Suitsat-1, the unneeded Russian Orlan spacesuit filled mostly with old clothes was fitted with a faint radio transmitter and released to orbit the Earth. The suit circled the Earth twice before its radio signal became unexpectedly weak. Suitsat-1 continued to orbit every 90 minutes until it burned up in the Earth's atmosphere after a few weeks. Pictured, the lifeless spacesuit was photographed in 2006 just as it drifted away from...

‘Victims? Don’t be melodramatic. Look down there. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever?’ - Orson Welles as Harry Lime speaking to Joseph Cotton’s character in Carol Reed’s Classic Thriller “The Third Man” (1949) The conversation takes place high atop a Ferris wheel in post WWII Vienna when Harry Lime is confronted by an old friend who has sought him out only to uncover Lime’s evil scheme to sell tainted penicillin on the black market.

“There are huge strides being made in aging biology” that point to ways that we can potentially slow the aging process, says Steele, 35, whose research focuses on the ways that the body ages at a cellular level. “We have loads and loads of different ways in the lab to slow down and reverse this process.”

Do you ever wonder why Fascism took so well in Germany and China? Compliant population. That’s cultural. And we don’t have it. Though we’ve been much too nice for too long. So, be American. See, I was in Portugal when checking speed by radar was introduced. The entire extent of their non-compliance. Someone had designed this thing to circumvent enforcement measures. SOMEONE HAD SOLD IT. It was in every catalogue at the time. And the populace GLEEFULLY embraced it. .... Have you ever seen a two year old who doesn’t want to go somewhere being carried by a parent? The...

Truth ought still to be the most important thing in our lives and our politics, but truth is not advanced by assertions taken out of context to affirm a narrative. In a headline clearly designed to prompt outrage, CNN recently claimed that “Sidney Powell argues in new court filing that no reasonable people would believe her election fraud claims.” Similarly, CBS News asserted that “Sidney Powell tells court ‘no reasonable person’ would take her voter fraud claims as fact.” The implication is that Powell, one of the most prominent critics of the 2020 presidential election, who has been outspoken in...

Dr. Shanna Swan, a professor of Environmental Medicine & Public Health at Mount Sinai Health System, has warned in a new book that phthalates, a chemical commonly used in the manufacturing of plastics, can shrink penises and decrease male fertility. A study listed in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, which operates under the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, found that the microplastics used in the manufacturing of Covid face masks contain a number of toxic chemicals, including the penis-shrinking phthalates. Dr. Swans’s book “Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering...

BREAKING: Massive explosion at oil refinery in Indramayu, Indonesia

The Vatican extinguished the lights of the dome and the facade of St. Peter’s Basilica for an hour on Saturday night in commemoration of “Earth Hour 2021.” From 8:30pm to 9:30pm the iconic basilica was darkened as a symbolic gesture against climate change, joining monuments of cities across the globe that turned off their lights as well. Vatican News reported that the act was performed “to demonstrate the serious global climate crisis.” Earth Hour is an initiative launched by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in 2007 to call attention to the gravity of the “climate crisis” by symbolically abstaining from...

Source: Twitter/ScreenshotWithout realizing it, White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield on Sunday admitted the crisis at the border is even worse than we previously imagined. ABC News' Jon Karl pointed out that the overwhelming number of illegal aliens, a vast majority of them unaccompanied minors, are not part of the normal spring surge that typically takes place this time of year."We're having record numbers already and the surge that you're about is only just beginning. This is not, I mean in terms of unaccompanied minors, this is not the same as its been," Karl said. "This is worse, is it...

democrats never want to waste a good crisis and the recent shootings are a good example. As we noted, democrats don't care about gun deaths in big cities like Chicago or Baltimore. They don't care when the deaths occur one or two at a time despite how large the body count gets at the end of the year. It's almost like they put on a show. Which is exactly what they do. Many have suggested that existing gun laws should be enforced first because if you do not or refuse to enforce those laws, adding more won't help. I can...

Before she wiped her page on Tuesday, TikTok user hann.brooke95 hadn’t been shy about sharing even the most mundane details of her life with her 19,400 followers. She posted TikToks of herself cooking while breastfeeding, the can of beans she was using for nachos, and even the painstaking process of transferring her license as a pharmacy tech from Florida to Illinois: from filling out the application, to affixing a return address label and stamp on the envelope, to dropping it in the mailbox in front of her house. And the stream of everyday minutiae might have continued if she hadn’t...

Washington was considered ground zero for COVID-19 in the U.S., and now 23 travelers from the state are being monitored for another deadly contagious virus: Ebola. Add 4 in Oregon and 40 in Ohio! The travelers recently returned from the West African countries of Guinea and the Democratic Republic of Congo — where there are outbreaks of the deadly virus — according to a news release from the state’s Department of Health. The risk of Ebola coming to the United States remains “extremely low,” according to a news release last month from the Centers from Disease Control and Prevention. Likewise,...

A shipping vessel that could clog the Suez Canal for weeks is the latest piece added to an ever-evolving conspiracy theory about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other members of a so-called “deep state” and links to human trafficking. Communications channels where QAnon conspiracy theories spread were humming this week about a connection between Clinton and the quarter-mile-long ship that ran aground as high winds cut across the canal. Those seeped into mainstream social media as well, including posts on Facebook and Instagram, where users tied Clinton’s Secret Service codename to the ship and suggested its radio call...

For Americans gripped with fear and confusion over the rapid spread of the coronavirus, Cuomo and Fauci have emerged as unexpected emotional life rafts Throughout March, Cuomo has held near-daily news conferences updating New Yorkers with dire statistics on ventilators and hospital beds. In response, PresidentCuomo has trended on Twitter, the governor’s updates repeatedly hailed as “comforting,” even by users who don’t live in New York. Meanwhile, a Twitter user recently posted a photo of doughnuts decorated with photos of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who earlier in the day made...
