  • Investigation: Marjorie Taylor Greene filed homestead exemptions on 2 homes, violating state law

    WSB2 Atlanta ^ | 5/15/21
    ATLANTA — A Channel 2 Action News investigation has found that Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband have two active homestead exemptions, which is against Georgia law. A homestead exemption is a big tax break any Georgia homeowner is entitled to for their primary residence. It is against the law to file for more than one. But Channel 2 investigative reporter Justin Gray pulled records showing that the Greenes are getting the tax break on two different homes in two different counties. In a statement, Greene’s office told Gray to mind his own business and called it a...
  • More accurate clocks may add more disorder to the universe, scientists say

    What’s the price of an accurate clock? Entropy, a new study has revealed. Entropy — or disorder — is created every time a clock ticks. Now scientists working with a tiny clock have proven a simple relationship: The more accurate a clock runs, the more entropy it generates. "If you want your clock to be more accurate, you’ve got to pay for it,” study co-author Natalia Ares, a physicist at the University of Oxford, told Live Science. “Every time we measure time, we are increasing the universe’s entropy." As we go forward in time, the second law of thermodynamics states...

    MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- Mesa police arrested a woman over the weekend for allegedly stealing a car from a man. The woman claims the man gave it to her in exchange for sex. Police officers pulled up and checked a gray Nissan Sentra's registration near Country Club and University drives around 10 a.m. on Sunday. Officers realized the car was reported stolen. When the officers searched the vehicle, they found 44-year-old Diana Lee Baker inside. Baker allegedly told officers that three days before she met a man she knew as "Robert." She says he was the car owner, and...

  • Catholic Archbishop Rebukes Nancy Pelosi: You’re “Cooperating With Evil” By Supporting Abortion

    Last week, Nancy Pelosi said it should be up to her own judgement whether she should receive communion despite her longstanding pro-abortion record. But a Catholic Archbishop is rebuking her today, saying she is “cooperating with evil” by supporting abortion. As LifeNews.com reported last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she should be able to get communion even though she is a pro-abortion Catholic. The ardent abortion advocate insists she can use her own judgment on whether or not she is eligible to receive the sacrament despite winning pro-abortion awards and blocking a bill to stop infanticide. “I think I can...

  • Terrifying Driving Simulator Lets a Player Feel a Car’s Motions by Short-Circuiting Their Sense of Balance

    Gizmodo ^ | Andrew Liszewksi
    Your typical driving simulator usually features a racing-style seat with a steering wheel, pedals, shifters, and a bunch of giant screens filling a driver’s view, all perched atop a platform connected to pneumatic pistons that move the cockpit around in 3D space to more or less match the motion’s of an on-screen vehicle. It can add a convincing level of realism to a racing game or simulator as the player feels the simulated forces of being in a real car, but all that hardware means these rigs are often priced well north of $50,000. But what if the human body...

    American Airlines says it’s investigating a Texas-based pilot who spoke against an effort by his local school district to implement elements of critical race theory. Guy Midkiff of Southlake, Texas, has been flying for American Airlines for more than 30 years, according to the Dallas Morning News. His job remains uncertain, however, after he criticized a “Cultural Competence Action Plan” (CCAP) proposed by Carroll Independent School District online and in podcasts. The plan, which was developed by Carroll’s diversity council after white students were caught on video singing a rap song that contains a racial slur, called for the district...

    ATLANTA (AP) — The immunologist who leads the COVID-19 response in the United States said Sunday that “the undeniable effects of racism” have led to unacceptable health disparities that especially hurt African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans during the pandemic. “COVID-19 has shone a bright light on our own society’s failings,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said during a graduation ceremony for Emory University. Speaking by webcast from Washington, Fauci told the graduates in Atlanta that many members of minority groups work in essential jobs where they might be exposed to the coronavirus. He also said they are more likely to become...

    For centuries, a legend has persisted across the Ozarks. Lore holds marauding Spaniards once discovered a rich silver deposit within a cave somewhere in the hills, and then sealed it shut for future mining. Several variations of the tale are told, but one notion is constant, the treasure is said to still remain hidden. Many people in South-Central Missouri have searched for this fabled lost silver mine. Some went empty-handed to their graves after a lifetime of digging. Others got so far as thinking they found the site, and even had their ore tested at Missouri S&T. However, no great...

    CAPTCHA, which stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing tests to tell Computers and Humans Apart,” first appeared in 1997 and has proliferated across the Internet, slowly morphing into the “Find the bicycle” challenges that we face today. Cloudflare, who obviously has money riding on anything that makes it easier to sift robot attackers from humans, is proposing a new service that uses hardware keys to confirm your existence. The most popular model, the Yubikey, is a little dongle that connects to your computer and sends a special code when you touch a conductive surface. In this case, the USB key...

I was in a bad mood because so many pundits of the American right had signed on to the "citadel of democracy" twaddle. As you may recall, I called it a "citadel of crap": I felt a bit bad when American newspapers picked up on my coinage, because it didn't seem entirely becoming for an immigrant to have to point it out. But, on the other hand, it is a citadel of crap. Likewise, the Capitol Police is not really a...

    The Supreme Court unanimously rejected Biden administration arguments in a case from Rhode Island that police should be allowed to enter homes without a warrant to seize handguns. The ruling in the case, Caniglia v. Strom, court file 20-157, came May 17. Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America and the affiliated Gun Owners Foundation, praised the new decision. “The Supreme Court today smacked down the hopes of gun grabbers across the nation,” Pratt said. The case came before the high court for oral argument two months ago as President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats began pressing...
