Florida State Representative and U.S. congressional candidate Anthony Sabatini (R) demanded the Florida Secretary of State and local Supervisors of Elections “initiate a forensic audit of the 2020 election in Florida’s five largest counties to help ensure voter confidence.” “A full forensic audit of the five counties must be done immediately,” Sabatini announced in a press release. “Florida voters’ confidence in our elections is at an all-time low. Disturbing revelations in Arizona, Georgia, and other states make clear that the Secretary of State needs to do more than attempt to secure future elections.

Gathering additional research, Jonathan Schroder embarked on making his documentary. The Boys In Red Hats puts the events and people involved in a new light, with interviews from journalists, academics, alumni, a student (not Sandmann) that was present, parents and others to dissect what happened. The documentary also explores what passes for journalism nowadays, with its emphasis on immediacy over accuracy.

San Francisco is considering a congestion pricing plan that would charge motorists for entering the busy downtown core -- but only if they make more than $46,000 per year. The San Francisco County Transportation Authority is leading the city’s study on the proposal to charge a fee to any drivers who enter the downtown zone, details of which were reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. London has used a similar congestion charge scheme for nearly a decade, but it does not include an income threshold. New York City is currently considering a daily charge of $14 for motorists who enter...

When the European Union laid out the details of a measure to tax carbon at its borders earlier this month, all eyes turned across the Atlantic to see how the U.S. would respond. Would the Biden Administration, as it forges ahead with its own ambitious plans to reduce emissions in the U.S., take action to make sure foreign imports face the same climate costs as products made domestically? American officials, so far, have sought to thread a needle on the sticky question, suggesting a carbon tax on imports to the U.S. as a distant possibility without seeming too enthusiastic about...

Democrats want Americans glued to their TVs Tuesday for the first hearing of the Jan. 6 select committee. They also don't want a circus. More than six months since the deadly siege of the Capitol, the select panel's first meeting is designed as a somber yet camera-ready event to elicit fading memories of that day's horrifying events — not to mention counter a GOP wave of revisionist history that threatens to muddy the waters. The select committee’s members, assembled for their first public appearance since Speaker Nancy Pelosi added Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) to the dais, are set to question...

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Saturday that the U.S. needs a "tutorial" on how to treat other countries equally, marking his latest criticism of U.S. foreign policy as aggressive and undermining to global peace efforts. Wang said Washington should realize that no country is superior to others and that U.S. officials should realize that Beijing will not be talked down to... ...Earlier this year, Wang stirred controversy by saying the U.S. is "not qualified" to talk from a "position of strength," after Secretary of State Antony Blinken used the phrase to describe the Biden administration's approach to China.... Wang...

For the first time, astronomers have uncovered evidence of water vapor in the atmosphere of Jupiter's moon Ganymede. This water vapor forms when ice from the moon's surface sublimates—that is, turns from solid to gas... ...Previous research has offered circumstantial evidence that Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system, contains more water than all of Earth's oceans. However, temperatures there are so cold that water on the surface is frozen solid.... ...Roth and his team then took a closer look at the relative distribution of the aurora in the UV images. Ganymede's surface temperature varies strongly throughout the day,...

536 Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Once while a prophet amongst the prophets was taking a rest underneath a tree, an ant bit him. He, therefore, ordered that his luggage be taken away from underneath that tree and then ordered that the dwelling place of the ants should be set on fire. Allah sent him a revelation:-- "Wouldn't it have been sufficient to burn a single ant? (that bit you): (See Page 162, chapter No. 153). 537 Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said "If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it...

Archaeologists have unearthed a 2,200 year-old shipwreck in the Mediterranean sea that sank after it was hit by falling blocks as the temple of Amun was destroyed in an earthquake. The wreck was discovered - along with the remains of a funerary area - underneath the ancient city of Heracleion, which fell into the water after it was destroyed by earthquakes nearly 1,200 years ago. Experts have noted that the ship, known as a fast galley, is 25 meters (82ft) long and its body was built with a flat keel, something that was common for navigating the Nile River and...

A 90-year-old former Marine, who suffers from Alzheimer's, was found dead in the backseat of a nursing home van after staff allegedly left him there for 20 hours.

He was left in the vehicle in the facility parking lot for an...

An executive order recently signed by President Joe Biden takes aim at American investors in the Chinese defense and surveillance industries, naming several companies connected to his son, Hunter Biden... ...Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings were a significant source of controversy during the 2020 presidential election. Republicans presented Hunter Biden’s relationship with Bohai Harvest as evidence the Biden administration would go soft on China, while their counterparts on the Left broadly dismissed the allegations against Hunter as misinformation. This latest decision complicates both narratives, defying early predictions that Joe Biden would avoid standing up to China in a way that...

CNN anchor Don Lemon on his Monday broadcast of “Don Lemon Tonight” called on the unvaccinated to be banned from grocery stores, ball games, and offices. Lemon said, “I’m sure a lot of people won’t agree with this but don’t get the vaccine. You can’t go to the supermarket. Don’t have the vaccine, can’t go to the ball game.

Sina Kramer's Excluded Within is one of those rare books that states things that seems obvious in the telling but which no one had quite thought of before. Her claim is that constituted exclusions based on race, gender, class, sexuality and other forms of social and political hierarchy are "excluded within," that is to say, are themselves deeply constitutive of what excludes them. Their appearance as being entirely "outside" of the systems of power—and even more pointedly of being unintelligible (insofar as any rubric of intelligibility is itself a function of the normative identities that are "inside")—is only retroactive, a...
