IRELAND Baldwin is feeling the heat today, after she and her boyfriend dressed as bloody victims for Halloween, even as her famous father continues to mourn his accidental killing.

Her boyfriend, the musician known as RAC, went a gory step further, splattering he fake blood all over his neck and white sweater, in an attempt to look like the prey of a slasher. Ireland said in the caption that she...

On this episode of The Resistance Library Podcast, Sam and David discuss the difference in meaning between the words nationalism and patriotism and why it matters. The terms “nationalism” and “patriotism” are often used interchangeably. This is understandable, as they have somewhat overlapping meanings, both of which suffer from a certain amount of vagueness. However, there are a number of key differences between the two that are worth shedding light on. In the final analysis, we believe that the term “nationalism,” while not denoting anything totalitarian by its nature, is not an accurate term for the sentiment that exists in...

Stephen Crane, born 150 years ago on this date, had a working life that lasted barely a decade, but he created an immense literary afterlife. His enthusiastic disciple Ernest Hemingway handed Crane’s stories to aspiring young writers seeking advice. Ralph Ellison said that Crane influenced not only Hemingway but also most modernist writers of the 20th century, including himself. Southern novelist Caroline Gordon conveyed her admiration for Crane to her protégé Flannery O’Connor. No American writer before Crane portrayed immediate perceptual and sensuous experience with such power. “He had great, great genius,” Henry James repeatedly said. For all the praise...

The Daily Mail reported: Government representatives have gathered in Glasgow to discuss green issues this week, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson using his opening address to compare the situation to James Bond trying to diffuse a ‘doomsday device’. US President Joe Biden, Germany’s Angela Merkel and President Emmanuel Macron of France are among those gathering at the event in an attempt to foster international cooperation on climate change.

As the Biden White House and Congress’ radical progressives continue their efforts to reach an agreement with Capitol Hill moderates and conservatives on their proposed $1.75 trillion social spending bill, it’s becoming more apparent than ever that their pie-in-the-sky agenda is anything but fiscally responsible. And that’s putting it very gently, believe you me. On Thursday, the White House released its final version of President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” spending plan, which includes billions in funding for universal preschool, child care, public housing and climate initiatives and pins it all on the wealthy to — say it with me...

Drs. Simon Thornley and Aleisha Brock report: “…the influential CDC-sponsored article by Shimabukuro et al. (2021) used to support this idea, on closer inspection, provides little assurance, particularly for those exposed in early pregnancy....

The mayor of Seattle is facing major backlash after offering big hiring bonuses to incoming police officers to make up for staff shortages. Democrat Mayor Jenny Durkan issued an executive order Friday, granting bonuses for new hires up to $25,000 depending on their experience and skill levels. However, the police union fired back at Durkan for the move while suggesting the city betrayed its loyal police officers after violent protests over the death of George Floyd. The union added, the staff shortage was caused by the ‘defund the police’ movement and worsened by the city’s vaccine mandate.

The current fad apparently stems from a belief that a round head is more beautiful. Because babies have soft bones, parents are using a variety of “head-shape correction” products like pillows, helmets and mats to mold their heads into a round shape, the South China Morning Post reported Friday. One mother wrote a post on a Chinese social media site titled: “I took my baby to head-shape correction, despite my family’s protests.”

Nine Americans were arrested for no apparent reason at a public Executive Council (EC) meeting that was run by the Governor. Tthe Governor must justify why nine Americans were arrested at his EC meeting. He also needs to explain why he ordered an army of State Troopers to be present, and why he is turning NH into a Police State? There was an excessive number of 32 State Troopers that were visible during the EC meeting. It was a disturbing and unnecessary show of force that borders on paranoia, and something that would be expected in Nazi Germany or Communist...

Already remarkable for being the world’s second Westinghouse AP1000 reactor to be brought online, Shandong Nuclear Power Co.’s Haiyang nuclear power plant is pioneering two significant aspects of nuclear diversification in China: district heating and desalination. In 2009, China only had 11 operational nuclear power reactors—three that used domestic technologies, two were Russian technology, four were French technologies, and the remainder are Canadian-designed. It now operates 50 units—a combined 50 GW. The heating project alone could translate to an “annual savings of about 6.62 million tons of standard coal,” it said. The company projects that by 2030, Haiyang and other...
