resident Joe Biden trended on Twitter for what many are calling a "creepy" interaction with the press during a press conference on Thursday. Biden held a press conference at the White House to share his thoughts on the announcement that a bipartisan group of senators came to a tentative deal on an infrastructure bill. Throughout the press conference, he behaved in a bizarre manner, repeatedly leaning over the podium and answered reporters' questions in a whisper. Townhall posted on Twitter a compilation video of Biden's press conference, where he leaned in to whisper his responses to the press. This caused...

He said they dragged the dead mammal back to shore, where they sliced it open and struck "floating gold", or ambergris, a rare substance formed in the whale's...

Vice President Kamala Harris made her first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border Friday. She briefly left the El Paso airport to tour a Border Patrol station but did not make her way to the actual border.

Infectious disease expert funneled hundreds of thousands of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Wuhan lab prior to pandemic. As interest in the Wuhan "lab-leak theory" has intensified, a man at the center of the controversy has undergone a dramatic reversal of public and professional fortune.

Later he posed as an ostensibly disinterested expert on the origins of COVID-19 in his roles as official international investigator, scientific researcher, and media commentator. A British-born zoologist, Daszak is the president of EcoHealth Alliance, a...

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife is asking boaters and anglers to enjoy loons from a safe distance this summer. Vermont Wildlife biologist Doug Morin says most areas where loons are nesting on Vermont’s lakes are surrounded by signs reminding people to give loons the space they need, but not all are marked. “We’re asking people to view loons using binoculars rather than from up close, whether they are in a boat, a canoe or a kayak,” he said in a statement. Eric Hanson of the Vermont Center for Ecostudies says most people are respectful...

The partially collapsed Florida condo building, which has left at least four dead and 159 people missing, was flagged as having “major structural damage” in 2018, according to reports. A lack of proper drainage on the pool deck of Champlain Towers South condo, which sits above the building’s parking garage, was the source of the “main issue,” wrote engineer Frank Morabito, according to the Miami Herald. Years of standing water had seriously damaged the concrete structural slabs below the deck, a problem Morabito warned would be “extremely expensive” to fix. “Failure to replace waterproofing in the near future will cause...
