Grinning school-age children who took part in a NASA YouTube video about space exploration with Kamala Harris have been revealed to be child actors. The 'Get Curious with Vice President Harris' video was filmed in August and tweeted out by the Vice President on October 7 to celebrate World Space Week. However it has now been revealed that they are paid actors who auditioned by sending in a monologue and three questions they would ask a world leader.

A British journalist, writing in one of the world's most respected newspapers, recently declared something that almost none of his American colleagues dare to utter: Last year's presidential election was rigged for Joe Biden. Rod Liddle, associate editor of The Spectator, made that assertion in The Times of London on Sept. 26. In doing so, he also blistered Biden's incompetence and physical problems, which the leftist U.S. Establishment Media also largely ignores. "The American public is slowly waking up to the fact that they are being led by an ineffectually devious, senile halfwit," Liddle wrote. "Soon the public will...

To keep toddlers happy, we throw pennies at a wall and keep score in their heads. Then we try nickels. Once we had to quit and Fletcher, a little towhead, cried, “I learned to count by fives for nothing.” Pitching coins is more productive than throwing money at some government programs. Some increase inequality, or cause bigger forest fires, and the feedback loop from effectiveness to budgeting has been broken for generations. When all the coins in my purse are thrown, we play a game to pick up coins – fast! Effective parents pick up toys that way at bedtime....

My August 18, 2021 article, Biden’s Afghanistan Catastrophe Increases Terror Threat in US: Biden administration, meanwhile, focuses solely on "domestic extremists”, was published just a few weeks before the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 and was predicated on the August 13, 2021 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) press release titled, DHS Issues New National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin. It was more than a bit disconcerting that the DHS press release focused entirely on the threats posed by domestic (American) extremists while blithely ignoring the threats posed by foreign terrorists. Clearly the Biden administration...

China has bombarded Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone with nearly 150 aircraft — including fighter jets, bombers, transport planes, and surveillance planes — during a tense first week of October, heightening fears that China may soon take a dangerous plunge and use military force as its next step in its quest to “reunify” the mainland and Taiwan. Here’s a rundown of the key issues: Why is China ramping up tensions over Taiwan? Taiwan and mainland China having been governed separately since the end of a civil war more than 70 years ago. Beijing has made it clear that it ultimately...

In the wake of our abrupt capitulation in Afghanistan, an uncertain – but substantial – number of Americans are stranded in that chaotic country. And Americans aren't the only ones in harm's way. The rapid collapse has displaced hundreds of thousands of desperate Afghans who fear the Taliban's medieval rule.Americans across the political spectrum can sympathize with their plight. The Biden administration has proposed bringing 50,000 Afghans to the United States as refugees. Progressive groups say that figure is too low – and are calling for hundreds of thousands instead.But those numbers are absurd. The United States doesn't have the...

We present an updated time frame for the 30 m thick late Miocene sedimentary Trachilos section from the island of Crete that contains the potentially oldest hominin footprints. The section is characterized by normal magnetic polarity. New and published foraminifera biostratigraphy results suggest an age of the section within the Mediterranean biozone MMi13d, younger than ~ 6.4 Ma. Calcareous nannoplankton data from sediments exposed near Trachilos and belonging to the same sub-basin indicate deposition during calcareous nannofossil biozone CN9bB, between 6.023 and 6.727 Ma. By integrating the magneto- and biostratigraphic data we correlate the Trachilos section with normal polarity Chron...

President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate has been stalled as the Labor Department tries to figure out a way to make it workable. In the meantime, Biden is doing his part by pressuring private companies to force their employees to get COVID-19 vaccines -- no matter what their reason is for hesitancy. "I’ve spoken with Scott Kirby, the CEO of United Airlines, who’s here today. United went from 59 percent of their employees to 99 percent of their employees in less than two months after implementing the requirement. Ninety-nine percent," Biden said at a speech in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, on...

In total, about 40% of voters live in these "factory towns," where, the report concludes, Democrats lost "major ground" that couldn't be recouped by the party's 2 to 1 gains in cities and surrounding suburbs. Anew report concludes that Democrats lost more than 2 million votes this past decade in America's "factory towns." The analysis, published by 21st Century Democrats, looked at 853 counties in 10 states — Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri — with small towns, removed from urban centers, built around manufacturing. In total, about 40% of voters live in these...

President Joe Biden and his Departments of Commerce, Labor, and Transportation have failed to solve a supply chain crisis causing the backup of supplies at U.S. ports and cross country transportation as the left-wing media lays the blame solely on the coronavirus. A CNN report said consumers can’t expect to shop like they did in the “Before Times” and highlighted manufacturers warning of limited food supplies:If you hoped grocery stores this fall and winter would look like they did in the Before Times, with limitless options stretching out before you in the snack, drink, candy and frozen foods aisles, get...

Two Georgia election workers were terminated for allegedly shredding a number of paper voting registration applications over the course of the past two weeks. Fulton County released a statement Monday that said a preliminary review suggests the employees in question "may have checked out batches of applications for processing." But instead of fully processing the forms, the employees allegedly shredded some of them. The employees were terminated Friday after being reported by coworkers that same morning. Their actions were reported to the Office of Investigations within the Secretary of State’s Office, and the county's District Attorney. A total of 300...

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema was badgered by left-wing activists from Arizona on Monday at the Boston Marathon hoping to convince the senator to support radical Democrat agenda items such as the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. Two groups of activists — the Arizona Working Families Party and the Sunrise Movement’s Tempe chapter — traveled from Arizona to Boston to protest the senator. The groups held signs saying, “Sinema: Be Brave, Fight For Us”; “Care Jobs Now”; “Green Jobs Now!”; “No Cuts To Climate, Care, and Justice!” “We’re here at the BostonMarathon with @SunriseTempe and others from AZ asking SenatorSinema to stop running...

Border Patrol agents in the Yuma Sector have been busy clearing out the sole overflow facility in recent days ahead of a visit by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who will tour the area on Monday. Sources within Border Patrol told Townhall they have been seeing a lot of "movement" with regards to apprehended immigrants being moved to other Border Patrol locations, released into the United States, or being deported to Mexico, but some of the agents were not told why the overflow facility was being cleared so quickly.

Far from emerging from the COVID shock awash with fuel, as might be expected after an economic slowdown, the world is entering a new energy crisis the like of which hasn't been seen since the 1970s. European and Asian gas prices are at an all-time high, the oil price is at a three-year high, and the price of coal is soaring on the back of energy shortages across China, India and Germany. The surge in demand is being driven mostly by recovering economies and anticipated extreme weather across Europe and north-east Asia. China is stockpiling domestic coal and gas reserves,...
